00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll try it next year, but I don't know.

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Something about potentially getting shot by somebody this year was

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: just not on the menu. But I did have sent

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: me someone send me a hundred twenty four roses and

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: balloons and cupcakes and ship, and then didn't come to

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: see me. So I was in here with all that

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: ship by myself. That's some bullshit. That's cock blocking, because

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: how it is cock blocking is like what if you

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: had other players? If you're not gonna be here, what

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: a funk? Why are you? Why we got all this

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: ship in the house and you were here? That's like

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the ultimate cock clock. Yeah I didn't. I didn't even

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: think of it that way. You're right, Like it was

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: kind of like a dog pissing on the territory basically. So, yeah,

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: that was my Valentine's Day. But it smells like a

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: nice little rainforest in here. I guess thanks, that's still

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: a good time. No, the flowers are beautiful and I

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: do appreciate. Now. Oh I did it Valentine some company.

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: I got some flowers of Valentine. I like flowers. Oh

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: you know what I did get on Valentine's Day? My period? Yeah, Like,

39
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: so you ain't about to have nobody up in there anyway. Nah,

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: it was dead. It was dead. By eleven thirty that afternoon.

41
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: I think if your period was on now, you probably

42
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: would have give a fuck. You would have cared that

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: you can't hand nobody else up in there. Uh, I

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: would have brought another nigga up in here anyway, Like

45
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: where you get all these flowers from? Not to you

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: better step your game, basically, nigga. No, I'm joking. I

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: don't even have anybody that I would have wanted, even

48
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the nigga who bought the flowers. Did I to want

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: it here on Valentine's Day just because it just seems

50
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: like a day for lovers, and since I'm not in love,

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, It's still a nice day, it is.

52
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's beautiful. I never ever tripped over Valentine's.

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: But if you wear somebody or even just smashing like

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: niggas know, they'd better show up for whoever they fucking with. Oh,

55
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a whole problem,

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160

98
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: were talking to the Jazzmines brand and you said that

99
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: you talk ship and you smacked the beach in the club.

100
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: Why did you smack that beach in the club. First

101
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: of all, you're asking me to explain why I have

102
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: the name the Original Badgirl a copy. Okay. I didn't

103
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: give myself that name. I don't give myself names. I

104
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: was given that name by a comedy promoter in the

105
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Bay Area named Rick Sullivan, many many, many years ago,

106
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: over twenty years ago, because at that time I was

107
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: considered a bad girl. I would bar fight, I would

108
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: go to jail. I was doing bad things. So that's

109
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: why he gave me that name. But regardless of my

110
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: personal activities, I still remain the funniest woman in the

111
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: funniest kind of in the room. So that's how it come.

112
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I continued to work so our brand. We talk shit,

113
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: We raunchy, and we say what the funk we feel

114
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: all the time, and I get like how I get

115
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: responses like how are you gonna ever find a husband

00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: actually he found me. I didn't find him. I'm very

126
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: much a fan of like who likes you? Quit trying

127
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to make people who don't like you like you. Mhm,

128
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: See who likes you and see if you can like

129
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: him back? You know. Number one? Number two, Um, my

130
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: husband met me in a club, uh, at a show,

131
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: so he very much knew how I was the minute

132
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: he met me. Literally, And um, some men actually like

133
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: and gravitate too bad girls obviously. I mean, if you

134
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: look at my friend Natalie Nunne, she's got a mouth,

135
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: she fights on television, and she has an amazing husband,

136
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: a beautiful daughter, an amazing home life. You might say,

137
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: how does Natalie have a man. Well, I'm sure he

138
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: has to put up with a lot, but you know

139
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: he can take it. You know, Um, I think that. Um,

140
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: the old adage of being a nice girl, it doesn't

141
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: work anymore because guys aren't really looking for that nice

142
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: girl all the time, depending on the guy. UM my

143
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: husband and I right now, though, my husband is ill.

144
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: And when you have a mate who's ill, you really

145
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: start to realize what the vows mean better or worse,

146
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: rich or poor sickness and in health. And my husband

147
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: is sick, so he doesn't travel with me anymore. I

148
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: don't have that support system that I used to have

149
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: when he did travel with me and help me sling

150
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: merchandise and do all that kind of stuff. I think

151
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: that even a bad girl is not a bad girl

152
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, I still cook, I'm still

153
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: a mother. I still went to the PGA meetings as

154
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: much as I could. When my daughter was coming up,

155
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't as on the road as I am now,

156
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: so I was able who make her first years up

157
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: to like thirteen or fourteen pretty solid. It's just since

158
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: then I've been traveling extensively and and doing a lot

159
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: more film and television on location and out of town.

160
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: I really don't um know how anybody else does it.

161
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I just know how it works for for me. And

162
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just got to be a certain

163
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy. You know, if I'm crazy and disrespectful,

164
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: as long as I'm not that way to him, you know,

165
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: then you probably don't. They probably don't have a problem

166
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: with it because it just comes with with the territory.

167
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Male comics or talk about their wifely in their comedy. Yeah,

168
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: all the time. So I'm really not even trying to

169
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: hear the ship. If you like me, you like me.

170
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: If you don't, you know, I had the end of

171
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: relationship because you know, I was being censored on this podcast,

172
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: Like I really feel like I can't be my fucking

173
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: self say what I want to say, and you know

174
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: that I don't. I don't want to say as a

175
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: character because we definitely ourselves, right. But if you can't

176
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: handle me talking about past experiences like our podcasts about relationships,

177
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: if you can't handle that type of ship, and you

178
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: don't need to be with me, because I'm gonna be

179
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: normal when I come home for you or when ware together, right,

180
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: But if you can't handle me, just has been a

181
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: strong man. A strong man is going to back his woman,

182
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: a strong woman is going to back her man. I mean,

183
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: you got men to do porn that are married and

184
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the women have to deal with that. And if this podcasts, uh,

185
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: if this podcast or US Women are not for you,

186
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: then there's a million podcasts that will suit you. You

187
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: don't have to stay here listen to us and criticize us.

188
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Go over to Fred Hammond's podcast, go over to Karen

189
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: Glugs podcast, go over to something else. There's more suited

190
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: for you. But here, this is your platform, and anybody

191
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: that want to say anything about it, you know you

192
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: can go here. Middle fingers to my old life. I

193
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: mean that. Um So, being a female in a male

194
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: dominated industry, what do you feel like was your biggest

195
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: obstacle as far as your career is concerned. I don't

196
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: think I had many obstacles because my comedy speaks for itself.

197
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, if you're a female and you're not as

198
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: strong as the men that you're performing with, that's when

199
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: you run into a problem. But if you're a female

200
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: and you're slaying consistently for years and you're in demand,

201
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: and the people, because it's the people who make up

202
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: who's popular and who's not, you can't really buy that

203
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: if the people are writing with you, if you tap

204
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: into it as that guys of how people feel male

205
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: and female, because I don't do comedy directed only at females.

206
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I do comedy directed at people. You know. I talk

207
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: about relationships. I talked about gaining weight, I talked about kids,

208
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: talk about corona. I talked about all that type of

209
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: stuff and that deals with people, not just females. But

210
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: of course I have to speak from a female perspective

211
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: because out of every hundred comedy shows, you might see

212
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: seven females. You know, you have comedy shows that will

213
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: have like five men on them and no female. You have.

214
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Females are the biggest ticket buyers, and the audience about

215
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: ticket for themselves, about ticket for their man sometimes, but

216
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: people don't support a comedy show with five females on it.

217
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: But see, you have to have the right type of female.

218
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: No nobody wants to hear about your crams and your

219
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: minstrel cycle and your nails and all. I should talk

220
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: about from real it talk about the fact that we

221
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: have a generation of men growing up coddled and not

222
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: getting taught right, and that these these niggas out here

223
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: can't even Let's talk about that for a second, because

224
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: listen our podcast We do talk to it about men

225
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot, right, but we also want to make women accountable,

226
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: so we always say, like, who raised these niggas? Oftentimes

227
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: it's a black woman. Fortunately, well, it's a black woman

228
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: who stretched the stretched then and the man may have

229
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: left them holding the bag. And the society has um

230
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: made it the norm to have a single family, single

231
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: and it made the double occupancy. The government has made

232
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: it financially feasible to not have a man in the house.

233
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: You can go back and watch this movie called Claudine

234
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: and that that was in the in the seventies and

235
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: and and you can see how that has happened. I

236
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: think that men need to raise their male sons in

237
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: the way that they were raised, you know, uh, if

238
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: they want, if they have a The reason we even

239
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: have gangs is because of the guys in gangs came

240
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: from a single parent household. They don't have the male

241
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: bonding that they need. A mother can teach your son

242
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but you can't be their daddy, period.

243
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: And it really takes a man to raise a man.

244
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of women who do a good jobs

245
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: with their sons, but in some areas they're gonna be lacking.

246
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: We don't know unless you're I don't know how to

247
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: raise a male child. I don't know what balls are

248
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: supposed to do. I don't know what how to take

249
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: care of little penises and ship, I don't know how

250
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't know how to shave a faith.

251
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: A man teaches a young man that I truly believe that,

252
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's a shame to have. And then and

253
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: then when it comes to men of means, unfortunately, these

254
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: women are out there having children without the supporter of

255
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: their man, or even unwed because uh, I just don't.

256
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. There's not enough money. I wouldn't care if

257
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: us share impregnated me. There's not enough money for me

258
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: to have a baby with a man simply for financial game,

259
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, which a lot of chicks are doing these days.

260
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: But that baby is not gonna stay a baby forever.

261
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna grow up. It ship gets more complicated, not

262
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: less complicated. To the school things you gotta attend to

263
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: their parent teacher meetings that you need to show up for.

264
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: There's you know, events and athletics and all this ship

265
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: that I can't stand. I had one. Now you talked

266
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: about you said something about like the system, how the

267
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: system is set up for the single moms or whatever.

268
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that system was established because the men

269
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: were leaving? Because I don't. I don't think the system

270
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: was established because the men were leaving. I think the

271
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: system was established because the men weren't. No, I don't

272
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: mean because they just weren't there in the first Clay.

273
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the system. I think it was set up

274
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: to help destroy the black household. Literally. I think that

275
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: they have made it financially better for a woman in

276
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: a certain bracket to be with yeah, or the women

277
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: escape scapegoat for men in that case, because like I said,

278
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: were they leaving the household or were was it to

279
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: where they just couldn't be there? Because I feel like

280
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: maybe they weren't there in the first place, so they

281
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: left on their own accord, and then the system came in. Well,

282
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: a man can leave, A man can't get up and

283
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: leave physically, they can do that. A woman can't leave.

284
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: We got to have it, Yeah, we have to have it,

285
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: so it's easier for them to believe. I think what

286
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: you really need to do is try to work on

287
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: these relationships first before you jump up and try to

288
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: have a baby. Even when you do get married. You know,

289
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: why don't you enjoy each other for a while before

290
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: you get married and automatically start spending out these kids,

291
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: because that is a big stressful you know, that's a

292
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: big undertaking raising the child when you want to raise

293
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: the child. You know, I'm very um, I'm very uh

294
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: pro equipping. I'm very pro on that's fine. So yeah,

295
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I'll suck you up and I'm very pro pop up

296
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: at the school type thing. Like to be a scary,

297
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: unpredictable parents. What will keep these kids a little bit

298
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: in mind? You never know when my mama's gonna show up.

299
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: My mama might be and you know, looking through the

300
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: fans and me at school, fear is what raises good kids. Yeah,

301
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: but neither one of us. I've got kids right now,

302
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: I always be teasing my friends that got kids. I

303
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: feel like, man, funck y'all black mama's. I can't stand

304
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: y'all ass because because they only do kids what was

305
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: done to them? Right, So I've okay, So I've every

306
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: every nigg I haven't been with got kids, right. So

307
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: I feel like when you tell a kid like you

308
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: know what, I'm really disappointed in you. If your goal

309
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: is to make that kid cry, you could tell them

310
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: some ship like that and they're gonna cry. Like you

311
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: don't have to put your hand on a little person

312
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: who I have the life experiences as you do as

313
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: an adult, and you're doing the same funked up ship.

314
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: But because you're a certain age is okay, But you

315
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: get to beat this kid because they're doing it. I

316
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: don't believe in that. Well, the fact that you every man,

317
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: you want to every children majority majority, majority, Okay, Well,

318
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't choose to live with your baby mama's in

319
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: my life. So my husband did have children, they were

320
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: grown when we got married. My baby daddy don't have

321
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: no children. It's just he and I, so I don't

322
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: have to deal with a baby mama. And the reason

323
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: my husband had daughters because his wife left and she's

324
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: the one who went out on a drug binge and

325
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: left him with the children. So he raised three girls

326
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: by itself, So that was sort of a different situation.

327
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't want to some of them.

328
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: Some guys have really great kids, a lot of them,

329
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't. And to be dealing with

330
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: younger kids even the little ones, even these little humans

331
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: that'd be badest hell sometime they need. Yeah, I'm seeing

332
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: a really um a spurt and really bad kids out

333
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: here entitled. These kids be entitled as hell man. They

334
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: think the world owed him something. I don't know. It's

335
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: the crazy I know. When my daughter was coming up,

336
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: I told her, I said, I will not ever buy

337
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: you a video game. If you want to play video games,

338
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: go over when your friends houses and play, but you

339
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: won't get one because A they're expensive. Be These kids

340
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: lose interests in about two weeks. And see you're fucking

341
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: seven years old. I want you to go outside and

342
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: get some air and bounce the ball, draw a hopscotch,

343
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: get the funk from because these kids are raised now

344
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and from birth, there's a camera shoved in their face

345
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: from birth, like in the birthing room sometimes. And then

346
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: you got parents putting a little emojis and ship on

347
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: these kids. They don't need to think they're a bunny,

348
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: or that they're a deer or I don't like that.

349
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: Ready for a metaverse? What do you think about what's

350
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: going on with Kanye What do you think about his

351
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: antics with Kanye West? Well, I think it's really sad actually,

352
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: because I mean, I remember the college dropout Kanye, and

353
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: that's the Kanye that I really liked. But I think

354
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: that everything stems back to when MS Donne passed away.

355
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's probably ever grieved that or

356
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: had therapy for that. You know, he may have guilt.

357
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: He has his mother already had money, but she surely

358
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: had more money when Kanye started making money. So with

359
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: that excess Kanye money, she wouldn't had all these surgeries

360
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: and then subsequently bad. He may have guilt about that.

361
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: So I think that he really did want a family,

362
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: really did love Kim, that really wanted to be with her.

363
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: He wrote a song and then he lived his song,

364
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: and then you know that that you know, what do

365
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: you say about and soon they get what to take?

366
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: You ask for a white girl? And then what did

367
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: he do? And I don't think that whether he had

368
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: a white or a black, I think he just needs

369
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: some therapy, some hugs. You need a hug, and that

370
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: he needed to just cool out for a while, go

371
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: to Cabo, relaxed, spend some of your money. Because to me,

372
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: the best thing he's done since college drop out is

373
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: that choir, believe it or not, his choir is bomb ass.

374
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know they sang a DMX funeral and

375
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: I cried from the moment they open their mouth. So, UM,

376
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: I just think that. Um it's first of all, I'm

377
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: confused about white Kim, who already had two beautiful children,

378
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: had to have two more? Why did she have to happen?

379
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: She can shoot like you had if y'all marriage is

380
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: really she had so much money, your marriage is really

381
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: feeling like that, like she just how old is the

382
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: last child? So now you just had his last baby

383
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: is saragate? I believe the last three of the years

384
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: to be a surrogate, right. I don't think she had

385
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: she don't even the last two. She was pregnant twice, y'all? Sure,

386
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: I think she was pregnant once. Well, I don't really

387
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: know because I don't I don't follow them like that.

388
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: But um, I think there's something sinister about why have

389
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: two more kids with a man who obviously has mental issues.

390
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: I don't think everything is for the bag because Kim's kids,

391
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: their kids, and their kids will never need a dime

392
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: if they never work. They've got so much money, they're

393
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: going to continue to make money, their money. I think

394
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: that she did love him, but then she fell out

395
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: of love because he went, you know, for the next

396
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: time and they weren't always to you. I'm like indifferent

397
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: because the ship he is doing to her publicly online,

398
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: Like I've seen that before personally, so I know, like

399
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: narcissistic behavior when the fun I see it, right. But

400
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: then the other side of that, he's in the industry.

401
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: The first thing he was saying about um, the oldest

402
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: daughter is like, my daughter, never be a strip of

403
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: my daughter, Never do this in that looks like he's

404
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: concerned about his children in this industry. You know what

405
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And we already know the tell me no,

406
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm a whole conspiracy theorist shoy. So yeah, but let's

407
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: let's I want to let's get back to you because

408
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk more about you. And I saw

409
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: that you started at MS Wiz Club and Long Beach

410
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: that's a like an old school club and Long Beach

411
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Comedy Club. And Robin Harris was your mentor. He became

412
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: your mentor. What was that like and how did he

413
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: change your life as far as comedy is concerned. Well, okay,

414
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: there was a club in Long Beach Commiss Wiz. This

415
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: since burned down, but some people do remember it. That's

416
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: the first place I ever went on stage to do

417
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: stand up comedy. And it wasn't because I wanted to

418
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: be a comedian. I had a roommate who was dating

419
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: a comedian who around the club, and he would be

420
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: around the house and he thought it was and he said,

421
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: if you ever want to stand up, come to my club.

422
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: I'll put you on the minute you walk in. And

423
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to be no stand

424
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: up comedian. But then I did start thinking about some

425
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: things that happened to me that are funny, because if

426
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: you know anything about my comedy, you can't quote a

427
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: joke that I tell because I don't tell jokes. I

428
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: tell stories because like Cosby used to do, or Richard

429
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: or stuff like that. And um, I wouldn't say that

430
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Robin was my mentor. He was the first person I

431
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: met on the very first day I did stand up.

432
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: When I got off the stage, I met Robin here

433
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: and he told me to go to the comedy at

434
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Theater that's where he hosted, and and it's sort of

435
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: snowballed after that, but I would say that it was

436
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: what you call it, it was like a sign. I'd

437
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: say that it was a sign that I met him

438
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the first might I ever did comedy. It's just like

439
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: when I got my residency in Las Vegas, George Wallace

440
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: brought me out on stage. Well, George Wallace had been

441
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas for you know, twenty years and been he's

442
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: like the king. A lot of faith for him to

443
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: bring me out on my first night. I take that

444
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: as a sign. So I wouldn't say Robin was my mentor,

445
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: but he definitely was an inspiration for me. He definitely

446
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: was an inspiration for me because he didn't have the

447
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: Hollywood looks, he wasn't slam and yet he was still

448
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: the funniest one in the room. And I'm you know,

449
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm not um, a little red bone, I don't have

450
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: long hair, I'm not slender anything like that. But I slay.

451
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: So this is when your talent over comes your your look.

452
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. There's a bunch of ugly

453
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: male comedians out there that are killers. So I don't

454
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: think that we should be held to the same standard.

455
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: But your your your product, your comedy should speak for itself.

456
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: No matter what you look like. They've had comedians that

457
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: got cerebral policy that are killers on um on Amazon Prime.

458
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: I yeah, guys, that Robin Harris died at thirty six

459
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: years old. Because we were kids, you know what I'm saying.

460
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was that young when he died.

461
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: And I saw your your piece on it, and you

467
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the Long Beach that he used to like to eat

468
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: like after the show. So we're talking about one o'clock

469

470
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: like totally and this also you gotta remember there was

471
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: no bottled water. Then, there was no veganism. Then there

472
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: was no soy nothing, There was none of this back then.

473
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: He just ate what we what we were brown up,

474
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, but it was unhealthy. You mixed some Hennessy

475
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: with all that and late nights and you know you

476
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: might stroke out. It was a terrible loss for the

477
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: comedy community, and I do suggest everybody check out that

478
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: uh Fat Tuesday p h A T not f A

479
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: T p h A T Fat Tuesday documentary on Amazon

480
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Prime and to give you a lot of a lot

481
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: of history things for what I didn't know. They call

482
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: it hip hop comedy. That's interesting, but it is, yeah,

483
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: because it sort of came in the same era and

484
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: everything was between the clothes and the music and the

485
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: comedy all sort of like hit at the same time. Yeah,

486
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: it was crazy. It was very exciting. What is your

487
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: take on these young comics or comedians coming up in

488
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: the social media era where they just jump on go

489
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: viral and then now they're instant comedian and they didn't

490
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: have to get it out the mud like some of

491
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: the greats that you came up with. What's your thoughts

492
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: on that? Well? At first, I was extremely resentful because

493
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: we have had to go through a lot to get

494
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: the spot that we're in, and it seems like they

495
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere and did videos on Instagram. Now

496
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: they're booked in the same club it took me twenty

497
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: years to get booked in and they're standing next to me.

498
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: I was very, very resentful. And I said it. Now

499
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: I have changed my mind since then slightly. Um. I

500
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: don't think that everybody who's doing comedy that came from

501
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: Instagram is a comedian. I do think that a lot

502
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: of them have a good future at being a comedic

503
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: actor or actress. I don't think that everybody has the

504
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: jobs or the we're thought to do stand up comedy,

505
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: even though they sell the club out. A lot of

506
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: times these people from Instagram sell the club about the

507
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: people come and they're disappointed because they weren't really as

508
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: funny in person as they were when they had their

509
00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: edited content on social media. I do enjoy just hilarious.

510
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: I do enjoy Country Wayne, And you know, I'm probably

511
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna stop right there because there's some others that I'm

512
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: still still trying to check out. And unfortunately I can't

513
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: speak on all of their comedy because I haven't seen it.

514
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: Because we all work at the same time. Every comedian

515
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: works on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night, So how can

516
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: I go see you even if we're in the same

517
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: town if we're both on stage at the same time.

518
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Maybe if you're on a Sunday, if you have one

519
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: show and they have two shows. You can get over

520
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: to where they are and maybe catch the second show,

521
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: but that's rare. I'm dying to see what be Stramone

522
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: does on stage. She seems to be killing it. I'm

523
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: dying to see, you know. I didn't know Country Wayne

524
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: personally until we worked together, and I wanted to see

525
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: what he does on stage. And now I have theeings

526
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: and he's really, really, really good and very spiritual, more

527
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: so than Jesus is popping. That's just about what he says.

528
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: He really has his Bible with him. Yeah, he's a

529
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: really rounded guy, doing really good with all his kids

530
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: and baby Mama's. I don't think they got a word though,

531
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: make a slave out of him. I wouldn't say a slave.

532
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: He's a very high I probably slave, but that's what

533
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: he is. So I didn't I didn't really feel it

534
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: in the beginning. But I take issue with them being

535
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: called comedians. I would say, you know, like I said,

536
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: comic actor or internet comedian or striving comedian or you

537
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: know something like that, but um, you know, that's just me.

538
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: They don't. Here's the other thing. They don't give a

539
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: funk what I think. See. I used to give a funk,

540
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: like what Paul Mooney thought of me, or what what

541
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Robin Harris thought of me, or what even d L

542
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: thought of me or d Rade there. I used to

543
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: give a funk. I still do, but the social media

544
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: influences social media, to me, they don't care what I think.

545
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: They don't give a funk about us, and that's that's

546
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: sort of hurtful because you know, like that, you know,

547
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: they didn't even hire women for this club. We came

548
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: through the Lord, so we came through and then made

549
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: the way, but they don't really give a funk about us,

550
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: and so subsequently a lot of us don't give a

551
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: funk about them. But I think that, you know, there

552
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: are social media people out there who do look up

553
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: to some of us, maybe not me, but some of us.

554
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: And then that's always good because you know, we haven't

555
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: been out here bust and asses for the hell of it,

556
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: and not for the money, because we did comedy before

557
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: there was any money. We did comedy before there was

558
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: any money. I did comedy for free for years because

559
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: it's in me. It's something I had to get out,

560
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: it's something that it's part of me. You know, I

561
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: don't think you should do comedy unless you feel like

562
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: you would die if you don't do it. You feel

563
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: me No, I do, I do. So let me tell

564
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: you something. I signed up for a amateur comedy night

565
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: here in Charlotte right before the pandemic. And then stop

566
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: why because I man, and I have jokes all the time.

567
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm always telling jokes. I'm always making people laugh. My

568
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: mom always not made up jokes, stories, stories, It's just

569
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: with off the dome. I don't tell. I don't like

570
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: write jokes out and be like, hey, I just you know,

571
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: flew in from Vegas and boy, my arms are tired. No,

572
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: none of that. Ship. It's just like I tell stories

573
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: that are true, and usually it would be like ship

574
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: that's dark, but I'll make it funny. Right. So I

575
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: wrote some stuff about growing up with parents that are

576
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: were addicted to drugs and in the eighties. You know, everybody, mama,

577
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: half of us, Mama and daddy was smoking crack in

578
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: the eighties, right, So yeah, So I made some jokes

579
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: about it and I thought it was real funny. But

580
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: then I didn't go because I didn't want to offend

581
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: my family. I didn't want to fend my parents and

582
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: the people who I love who the jokes were about,

583
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: so I didn't tell them. So what would you say

584
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: to someone who wants to use their life experience that

585
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: maybe dark, but you find a way to make it humorous.

586
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: How do you apply that without hurting people? Hear some

587
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: people you're going to it's it's if you're married to

588
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: a painter, at some time, you're gonna get some paint

589
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: on you. If you're working with a sculptor, at some point,

590
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some clay on you. If you have

591
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: a comedian in your family, you're gonna probably get some

592
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, material that you can identify. It applies to

593
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: you on stage. And even if you're in a relationship

594
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: with a guy that is gonna end up on stage. Now,

595
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: it's how you treat me that determines what I say

596
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: on stage. If you treat me like a queen, I'm

597
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna be honest talking my my man is really amazing.

598
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe I got this guy found her up.

599
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: Or if you treat me like a deck then I'm

600
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: gonna be on stage talking about the ship you did.

601
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: So that's really on them what you say. Um, you

602
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: have to have a certain fucking attitude I'll talk about

603
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: my daughter with my daughter backstage, I'm talking about my

604
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: husband with them looking right at me. You have to

605
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: have you have to be able to turn that off.

606
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: And they're either gonna get with the program or they're not. Now,

607
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of seven brothers and sisters, and for

608
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: a long time, they didn't. They didn't support me and

609
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: what I was doing. They didn't like it. They didn't

610
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: like the language that I used because you know, at

611
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: this particular time, nobody in my family when one of

612
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: my older brothers had a mouth like me, nobody and

613
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: my mother very delicate and sedat, and she didn't support

614
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: me in that either. Well fuck that and fuck you too,

615
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: because this is what I'm doing. But you want to

616
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: know something, that's all chance now and and and they

617
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: will get on your side if you would come successful.

618
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: If you don't become successful, that's when they be like,

619
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: see all that ship talking ain't got you nowhere. You

620
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: ain't doing it. We talk about you. It's like your

621
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: story too, so I can't talk about it. That's how

622
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel. It's your story to tell you just and

623
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, of course, nobody wants to hurt people's feeling,

624
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: but it's just like being at war. There's gonna be

625
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: some casualties, you know, So I just, you know, I

626
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: would say, if it's your truth and you feel like

627
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: you need to share it because it's other people's truth,

628
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: then you just go ahead and do that and deal

629
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: with fallout because I feel like it. I mean, it's

630
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: so funny ship. I mean, nothing's funny about smoking, cracking,

631
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: the devastation that drugs us to the family. But you

632
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: can find some ways to make that ship. Yeah, absolutely.

633
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: But also you have to think also about your comedy,

634
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: because comedy is not exclusive to black people. So can

635
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: you take that same material and do it in Can

636
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: you take that same material and do it in front

637
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: of a Latin audience? Can you take that material and

638
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: do it in front of a gay audience? Because when

639
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: you do comedy, you have to do comedy for all

640
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: those people. Feel more comfortable with them, you feel more

641
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: comfortable with your people. And the Latin community. I'm very

642
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: into and and I really, uh really support Latin comics,

643
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 1: and I just uh in any of the ethnicities are

644
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: actually way funnier than a lot of the white comics.

645
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: I see. If you go on you know, Persian Night

646
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: that ship is funny too, you know, because everybody you

647
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: know talking about terrorists and ship like that, and they

648
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: know it, so they make fun of that, and that's funny.

649
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: And you go to Latin Nite, that's hilarious. If you

650
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: go to gay nights something. Because when you go do comedy,

651
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: you shouldn't just go see black comics. You should go

652
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: see every body so that you can sort of gauge

653
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: and you know, be able to look at your audience

654
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: and between the between the walk from backstage to the microphone,

655
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: you should be able to read the audience just that quick.

656
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: And if you're scripted you do the same comedy in

657
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: Mississippi as you do in New York and you do

658
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: in Chicago. That don't always work. But if you freestyle

659
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: a lot, then you can adjust your ship to the

660
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: audience that you're performing in front of. You know what

661
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: I mean? Does that make sense? Like you can't go

662
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: to you can't go to Chicago and talk about h

663
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: C transit. You have to talk about the L train.

664
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: You can't, you know, you have to talk about what's

665
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: in the city. Have you ever gone on stage and bomb,

666
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: like totally bomb, like damn, I've never been booed in

667
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: my life. Whether somebody wants to believe it or not,

668
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: it's the true. But I've got the silent treatment before.

669
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, one of these, you know, one of those,

670
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: but that was really only after doing like a big

671
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: show with like thirteen or fourteen comics on and you're

672
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: like number thirteen and they've been sitting there watching comedy

673
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: for like four hours, like we're tired, you know, But

674
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: I don't. Really, I don't. I don't. I don't have

675
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: a lot of bad experiences, but I've had something. But

676
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: I've never been booed ever. Do you think that's the

677
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: writer passage for a comedian or a comic to just

678
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: have one, at least one show where you funked up?

679
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: Kind of it teaches you some humility. I think you

680
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: better stay humble at the gate period, because the one

681
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: of the worst shows I've ever done was trying to

682
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: be cocky and be like, let me show you how

683
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: to step mother's like yeah, and then you go out

684
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: and then it don't work for you because God will

685
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: put this hand down fucking fuck your shut up. I

686
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: tried to never be like, you know, like I might

687
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: be happy after I've done something really great. But I

688
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: don't go back and say I killed that ship. I

689
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: I just don't do that. That's just me because it's

690
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,479
Speaker 1: an unattractive trait. Cockiness is an unattractive trait that makes

691
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: me sick of people. You know, you let a comedy

692
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: speak for itself. I do. That's just me, though. You know,

693
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: the people who probably should be listening to the podcast

694
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: and getting the gyms may not be that. You know.

695
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: That's just like when when when grown folks have a

696
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: discussion about gun play and stuff in the streets. Well,

697
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: the people with the guns and in the streets ain't

698
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: sitting home looking at that podcast, so they didn't get

699
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: the memo. You know. But I hope that whoever's watching

700
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: and listening does at least consider some of the stuff

701
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. You know, you gotta make your

702
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: decision for yourself, right, I think I'm gonna try to

703
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: do girl. You won't never tell me that, okay, but

704
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: but I just always in. But what is the what

705
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: is the goal? What do you want? What are you

706
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna do? Want to make people laugh forever forever? Comedians

707
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: don't retire, they die, right, you know that, right? I

708
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't retire here didn't retired. Paul Mooney didn't retire that,

709
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: Gregory didn't retire. Jump Rivers didn't retire. We don't retire.

710
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: We're work until we die. But I'm okay with that.

711
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: If I could spend my life making people laugh, I'm

712
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: okay with it. What if somebody offered you a broadcast

713
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: uh position, because you're doing broadcasting, now, what would you

714
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: go into that? Days more? Absolutely? Absolutely, just if I

715
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: could just bring joy to people, that's all it. It

716
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: ain't even about money for me. I just want to

717
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: see people smiling, man, I like, and I just want

718
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: to use my truth to do that. You won't be

719
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: able to see him smiling on big stage. Get to

720
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: hear them, because when I'm when I'm in the dressing

721
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: room and I like, if I'm headlining and I got

722
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: my host and my feature out, I'm not really listening

723
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: to the material too much. I'm listening to see if

724
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: I hear the laughs. Are they laughing at this motherfucker?

725
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: That's That's what I wanted up And then also I

726
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: do try to listen. You know, some rooms you can't

727
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: hear the stage, and other rooms have the monitory to

728
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: watch the show. It's always helpful to watch the comments

729
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: ahead of you because you may have material that's similar

730
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: to theirs. You don't want to go out looking like

731
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: a hack because that's subject has already been preached. So

732
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: then maybe you want to change your set and not

733
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: do that and do this instead. Has already talked about that.

734
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It pays to listen. And

735
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: then when when I see younger comments coming there, they

736
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: like they want to go do multiple rooms in a night.

737
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: Well that's fine, but you are on a show with

738
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: like George Lopez, you should probably stay and watch the

739
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: person who's in the position trying to get to to

740
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: see what they did. Why did this joke? Were good

741
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: in this room? What does this room like? Do they like?

742
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: Are they couples? Are they single? Are they black? Are

743
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: they white? Are they drinking? Are they sober? Are they happy?

744
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: Are they grumpy? You know all that shi It has

745
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: a lot to do with what you do and how

746
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna be received. So you will will have like

747
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: like what you're gonna say playing and then switch it

748
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: up right before you go out there. I really only

749
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: have about four things planned, and I have thirty years

750
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: worth of material in my head though, See, so I

751
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: can pute from anything. You know, you want to talk

Speaker 1: about pregnancy, I got that. I want to talk about divorce.

00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about wait, I got that.

755
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, I want to talk about interracial relationships. I

00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: got that. I don't even see my man. Somebody in

757
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: my team is married to a white woman. I talked

758
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: about him every single day. I'm like, I don't know

759

00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: got the white girl going through the house turn to

762
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:55,040

00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,600

765
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: you on the Cat Williams um shore and he named

766
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: it world War three? War three right now. Cat Williams

767
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: is one of the most funniest, but he's also like

768
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: one of the more to me, one of more conscious

769
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: entertainers in the industry. Why why why is it world

770
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: War three? Does he think that we're about to go

771
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: to war? No, we're at war. If you haven't noticed, yeah,

772
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: we're dealing with chemical warfare, spiritual warfare. We're dealing with

773
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: spiritual warfare, racial warfare. We're in it now. We're it's

774
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: not coming. We're in it now. You know, we're at war.

775
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: They're killing our brothers in the street with no repercussion.

776
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: If you look at the poor the girl Shakari that

777
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: got busted for smoking weed for the Olympics right after

778
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: her mother died. But now they got a white girl

779
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: that testifies mother, but they're gonna let her. That's people.

780
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Black people are definitely not at the bottom at the

781
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: Automa to totem pole. These motherfucker's work around the clock

782
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to funk us up, and we

783
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: just be chilling. I'm just trying to figure out, like

784
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: what's the what's the attack? Like why, Like black people

785
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: got to realize like we're super special, you know what

786
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I don't know it's wicked. Well, you

787
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: would need to get a white politician on or somebody

788
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: white to answer that question. I think that a lot

789
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: of it has to do with jealousy. White men are

790
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: obviously jealous of Black men and their sexual progress. You know,

791
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: you know anything, all right, Okay, It may not be

792
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: in public, it might be behind the building. But you know,

793
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: very few white men can pull her sister away from

794
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: a brother, But but a brother can pull your bit

795
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: any day. Because we're superior. They're very upset the fact

796
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: that we're the first people that we're superior. We can

797
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: do different things to our hair. And there I was like, oh,

798
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: let me touch it? Can I touch it? And then

799
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: they were and then they pat you on the head

800
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: like a dog or running hand over your head like this.

801
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna get sucked up. You know that we're

802
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: super talented. Anything we put our mind to, we can excel.

803
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: Uh King Richard the movie Venus and Serena. They didn't

804
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: see black girls from Compton coming over. They came dominated

805
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: at the top of the game Tiger Woods. They didn't

806
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: think that nigger was gonna be on the golf course

807
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: doing it like that. But look what happened. You know,

808
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna we got some swimmers, We got you know,

809
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: anything we do, we excel in. And I think a

810
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: lot of rage and jealousy comes behind that from from

811
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: maybe the white men in power, because that's that is

812
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: their power, being in power. Money is the power play

813
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: that they got because we already know black like black

814
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: women like we may not we'd be on the forefront,

815
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: you know, but what white women may be in the

816
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: bedrooms and they pillow talking what they meant and telling

817
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: them what then to do like the women the men

818
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: to me and do what I tried. Listen, I tried

819
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: that ship one time. I'm not doing that no more.

820
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: My eyebrows burnt right off my face at her. I'll

821
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: do it once a year for a birthday or something.

822
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: I ain't doing it. My ass is as it was

823
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: when I was. Now, you said you would take a

824
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: COVID test in that ass this morning. Now I saw, yeah,

825
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: But look at that. That's that's that's why I'm is

826
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: very tiny. That's nothing but like that as opposed to

827
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: something that's like this. Yeah, but if you could do it,

828
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: then you got skills. Because I I wish I could

829
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: do it, but I can't do it. No. I had

830
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: a friend who said she right. I got a girlfriend

831
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: said she that ship does not feel good. It's just

832
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: the act of it, the nasty ass act of it

833
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: feels good to them. Yeah, I don't know why I

834
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,720

Speaker 1: this far away. I feel like I'm you're a woman

837
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: in that. I don't feel like anything a man does

838
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: with a woman, I don't think so, because do you

839
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: think about that is gay? Well, nobody asking me to

840
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: stick these in? I do it, but I'm out of

841
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: jig with a deal though before. But they're fucking they

842
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: got something latent. I don't know. They always say, well,

843
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: it's the prostrate and that's very sexual. Nigga, Really, how

00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: did you know that? I'm not into the ass flay

845
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: but that's just me. Anybody or whatever you do in

847
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: for it, but don't don't come at me with that ship.

848
00:49:52,560 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not hold on. Let's say some bills stories so so,

849
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: because we've all been a dumb bitch at least, so

850
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: we have this segment on our show called Dumby Story right,

851
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: and we share our stories of like making bad choices

852
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to men and relationships, or getting played

853
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: by a nigga or something like that. Can you share

854
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: with us a time where like a nigga played with

855
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: you or you made a bad choice behind the man. Yeah,

856
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: I have a thirty year bad choice that I was

857
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: working on and off for like thirty years, and and

858
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: and he was the best lover I ever had. That

859
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: was probably the reason. But he taught me a lot,

860
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: and you know, he spoke, and I thought that was

861
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: so empowering, and you know, he did a lot of

862
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: really nature guy and you know, camping and all that.

863
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: Ship and uh. But at the end of the day,

864
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: it took me thirty years and finally cut this motherfucker loose,

865
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, and never funk with him again. And I

866
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: don't think I wasted my time with him, but it

867
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't productive, I'll say that. And it was just

868
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: really a sex sex thing. And I feel like he

869
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: felt freer with me than probably anybody else, and I

870
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: felt free with him as well. And that was the mac.

871
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: But but when you put your feet on the floor,

872
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: you know, can we still get along with our feet

873
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: on the floor when they're not up in the air.

874
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: So it See, that's the thing I nigga play with Gemini.

875
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's fucking motherfucker Geminis. I believe that motherfucking asked Gemini.

876
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: But see, ladies listening to that nigga will play with

877
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: you for thirty whole years if you we'll be letting

878
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 1: these niggas. These niggas ain't doing. But you know, everything

879
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: is a learning is span. Some people learned lesson earlier.

880
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: You know, you grow and mature. You know that there's

881
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: people that could have pulled you when you were seventeen,

882
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: that couldn't couldn't come in the room with you. Now

883
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: we all sort of evolved as we get older, you

884
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And for me like I me

885
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: and these younger motherfucker's girls, they liked me for some reason.

886
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: I body like you. So I've often been and the

887
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: guy that the guy that the gemmi excuse me, was

888
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: older than me. So you know, I finally had an

889
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: older guy, older man, teach me this and show me that.

890
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I don't really

891
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: like guys that are my age because they start slowing

892
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: down and I'm just up. And so because I have,

893
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: you know, a young spirit and I'm out of you're

894
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: doing this, a lot of younger guys um that they're

895
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: attracting to me. So uh, you know, we we we saw,

896
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: we saw that expanty, that savage expanty. Shoot yes, man,

897
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: that was a business. Still, Uh, I wouldn't have done

898
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: it for like Rainbow, you line, excuse me, but it

899
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: was Rihanna, So I feel like I put some legitimacy

900
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: to it or else I would have never because I

901
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: have four brothers and they followed me on Instagram. I

902
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: don't want to put my ass up there for my

903
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: brother to see. I wish I could have blocked them,

904
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: but it paid very well. And this is Rihanna and

905
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: this is Lara, and I tried to do it with

906
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: some class and some style. I even shot uh six

907
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: page red for Penthouse, but I didn't bust it open

908
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: like that? Was that a misconception about? Because I mean,

909
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: based on your comedy content, like people would think that

910
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: you're busting wide open, you know what I'm saying. So

911
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: that is and we know you don't like hugging strangers, right,

912
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: So what's the what's the misconception about? Well, no, I

913
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: love hugging strangers. You know, I love hugging people. I

914
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: have severe allergies, though, and I'm allergic to some people's

915
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: perfume or the makeup. And they kissed me or hugged me,

916
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: then twenty minutes after they leave. I'm starting to wheeze

917
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: and my eyes are starting to sweat swell up, and

918
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: I have to put an epipin in my leg. I

919
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: started doing stopped doing that before quarantine started, just because

920
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, twice a year, I would have a horrible

921
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: for the allergic reaction and then I have to go

922
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: to the hospital if I'm not around my epipin, And

923
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: then they don't know that I have done shows with

924
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,959
Speaker 1: my eyes swollen shut before and I still did the show.

925
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: I didn't cancel, and then I took it off and

926
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: showed the people so they didn't think I was just

927
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: trying to be cool and were my shades for the

928
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: whole show. I let him know that I'm here for you,

929
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: doing the show for you because you paid to see me,

930
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: and here I am. But I'll let you know that

931
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm struggling right now, but I'm still here to do that.

932
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: Um uh. The meeting Greefs now, we don't do them.

933
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: Also because she I was on tour with Cat fifteen

934
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: years ago. So that's why it's so wonderful for all

935
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: of us to be back together again now fifteen years later. Now,

936
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: when Cat used to do theaters, we would do meet

937
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: and greets. But if you do a three thousand and

938
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: see theater and two thousand five people want to picture,

939
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: Now you're there two and a half hours after the

940
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: show has ended. Security wants to go home, they want

941
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: to close the play. They gotta pay extra money. And

942
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: so we had to stop doing that before and it does.

943
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: But now we're doing arenas and ship so we don't

944
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: we don't come in contact. You know, I know you've

945
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: seen the actress A J. H. A J. Johnson interview

946
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: on another show and she was talking about how she

947
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: did a threesome for her fiftieth birthday. So is that

948
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: a misconception? We can't count on Lunell to have had

949
00:55:53,360 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: done a threesome sometime in life. There that I see.

950
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: I came up through the seventies. Now this was before

951
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: crack and before you know, I was even out there,

952
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, before the AIDS epidemic even hit. You know,

953
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: I've lost twenty five friends to AIDS. You know, it's

954
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,760
Speaker 1: not just about COVID. AIDS is still out there. Gonna

955
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: Rea is still out there, her pies is still out there.

956
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: You need to be safe, period. You shouldn't put nobody's

957
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: raw dick in your mouth, in your ass, or your

958
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: pussy until they put a ring on it and you

959
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: don't lock down and said this, but even at that rate,

960
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: that's what I was saying. I preach about condom six

961
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: all the time on this show, but some people don't

962
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of people don't like it. They like

963
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: it raw, that's it. Well, that's fine if they like

964
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: taking penicell and they're like taking pills and they're like

965
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: going to the doctor. Fuck raw. As much as you

966
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: want good okay on me personally, I don't want to suck.

967
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: All it take is one you have to trust for

968
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: you went if you know what you're doing in bed,

969
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter if you had a sock on your dick. Damn.

970
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: Teach me how to do that, because I don't know

971
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: what to do with no. Well, it could save it.

972
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 1: One of my friends right now, he told me that

973
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: he was working with an older woman one time and

974
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: she was blow drying her pussy. She was blow drying pussy, Like, yeah,

975
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: these young girls don't know about that. He said, her

976
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: pussy was so fucking warm, and so I'm like, wait,

977
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: I never blow dry my pussy before I sucked. Somebody

978
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: now to get it, get a little hot box going on.

979
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the exception. I think that's exception, not

980
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: the rule about no blow drying like she got going

981
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: on down there. Yeah, to make sure she's got no

982
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: extra moisture. Well if if she if you're with any man,

983
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm a big believer that there's no

984
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: such thing as vaginal dryness. I mean, if you were

985
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: to write, motherfucker, pussy gonna get wet if you kiss

986
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: mom somebody and they're messing with you and your pussy,

987
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: don't get wet. Listen to your pussy. That's your pussy's

988
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: way of saying, we don't want to him, right that

989
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: part you may want to, but we don't want to

990
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: listen to your pussy, lady. Right. If he got a

991
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: spit started, it ain't for you. Don't spit on me,

992
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: nasty motherfucker? What is that? What is that? But yeah?

993
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: But but I do, I do. I do like to

994
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: hug folks, and I did a lot of that, but

995
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: I just can't do it no more. So let me

996
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: ask you this one takeaway that our listeners can get

997
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: from you about life and being a comedian and your future.

998
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: Where would you get them one piece of advice being

999
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: a woman, well about life, about being a comedian, because

1000
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: that's true different Okay, well maybe that part was with me,

1001
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: but whichever when you choose. Okay, Well, as far as

1002
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: being a comedian, I would say, don't ever ever believe

1003
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: your own publicity or drink the kool aid or think

1004
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: you're the ship, even if you are, because there's some

1005
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: little comedians and naxis Mississippi that could probably wipe the

1006
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: floor with you, and you just don't know who they are.

1007
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: They got comedians in Africa, they got comedians in Jamaica,

1008
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: they got comedians in the South. They got comedians here

1009
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: on the East Coast where I am. The East Coast,

1010
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: comedians are way more intelligent and have way more highbrow

1011
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: type of comedy than we do when I'm from the South.

1012
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about neck bones and stuff like that,

1013
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: but they could be talking about Wall Street and ship

1014
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: that we don't even know about. So I just say,

1015
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, like Kendrick says, sit down, bitch, be humble.

1016
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, don't ever ever ever think that you're the ship,

1017
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: because there's somebody out there that is batter than you,

1018
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: and they're coming for your spot period. As far as

1019
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: life goes, I would say, just try to you know,

1020
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: try to be nice. But if somebody's not being nice

1021
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: back to you, that ass up. Don't take no ship.

1022
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Offer nobody, especially racially these days, don't. If somebody rapes you,

1023
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: don't wait for a teen years to tell it. Tell.

1024
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: If somebody hurts you, don't wait to tell that. Tell

1025
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody steals your material, tell about that.

1026
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: That's what these platforms are far and and and if

1027
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: somebody is just an asshole, you can tell that too.

1028
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Because the day of not saying something about somebody who's

1029
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: sucked up so you don't lose your job, that ship

1030
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: is over. Tell the truth, get another job. Yeah, over everything.

1031
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, but I'm not you know, I'm not Miss Cleo.

1032
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: I can't be a still safer for everybody. But this

1033
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: is just what I find words for me. One of

1034
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the reasons that I even God in comedy is just

1035
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: to tell to purge some stuff out of me from

1036
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the comedy is my church. I don't get to go

1037
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: to church. I'm always lying on a Sunday and doing

1038
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 1: showing the Sunday. And I love church well. I love

1039
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: music mhm and some of the words because I've been

1040
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,479
Speaker 1: doing a deep dive into this thing now and I'm like, well,

1041
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't right the Bible right, some white man did.

1042
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: And so we had a religion before we came over

1043
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: here from Africa that didn't include Christ. The blond white man.

1044
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: I would like to know more about, you know, the

1045
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: RBA that the gem and I taught me religion and

1046
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: some of our black ancestral stuff. You can go to church.

1047
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I love church. I love the feeling. I can get

1048
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: the word you take from what you what you want

1049
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: and leave the rest. But you know, uh, everybody that

1050
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: dies is I go to heaven. Some people are assholes.

1051
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: And then oh he was a good man. No it wasn't.

1052
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Uh he you know, first accepted Christ when he was said,

1053
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: you don't know he didn't you know, tell the fu

1054
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: truth about about about people and and just trying to

1055
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: try to be a good person. But just don't take

1056
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: no ship, you know, and they don't have to be.

1057
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: There's also a way to cuss people out without cussing too,

1058
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: because I have a Bachelor of Arts degree UM in

1059
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: English literature from cal State Hayward. And people don't know that.

1060
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,360
