0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Talk talk. We're just too unapologetically black women with an

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>opinion to talk back. Hey, y'all, it's me Tim Van.

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to a new episode of We Talked Back. I

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>don't like that. She was like, I don't know, I

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know who I am, bitch? How was your Valentine?

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.160

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>chill out. I took myself out to dinner and I

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>went to Um, you know, that's my first year with

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>no Valentine, but it was cool. I took myself out

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to dinner and I hit up a few spots in

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the city, got a low tipsy, and took my ass home.

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>That's it. I mean Saturday. Yeah, I did that on Saturday,

0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>actual holiday Monday. Um, and do ship I say anybody

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>did an? Yeah? Well, um, I didn't. I didn't go

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>nick knocking you guys, I didn't. It just wasn't in

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>me this year. I think I've outgrown that. I don't know.

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll try it next year, but I don't know.

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Something about potentially getting shot by somebody this year was

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>just not on the menu. But I did have sent

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>me someone send me a hundred twenty four roses and

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>balloons and cupcakes and ship, and then didn't come to

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>see me. So I was in here with all that

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>ship by myself. That's some bullshit. That's cock blocking, because

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>how it is cock blocking is like what if you

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>had other players? If you're not gonna be here, what

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a funk? Why are you? Why we got all this

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>ship in the house and you were here? That's like

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate cock clock. Yeah I didn't. I didn't even

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>think of it that way. You're right, Like it was

0:01:54.400 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a dog pissing on the territory basically. So, yeah,

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that was my Valentine's Day. But it smells like a

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>nice little rainforest in here. I guess thanks, that's still

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a good time. No, the flowers are beautiful and I

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>do appreciate. Now. Oh I did it Valentine some company.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I got some flowers of Valentine. I like flowers. Oh

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I did get on Valentine's Day? My period? Yeah, Like,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>so you ain't about to have nobody up in there anyway. Nah,

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it was dead. It was dead. By eleven thirty that afternoon.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I think if your period was on now, you probably

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>would have give a fuck. You would have cared that

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you can't hand nobody else up in there. Uh, I

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>would have brought another nigga up in here anyway, Like

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>where you get all these flowers from? Not to you

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>better step your game, basically, nigga. No, I'm joking. I

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>don't even have anybody that I would have wanted, even

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the nigga who bought the flowers. Did I to want

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 1>it here on Valentine's Day just because it just seems

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>like a day for lovers, and since I'm not in love,

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whatever, It's still a nice day, it is.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's beautiful. I never ever tripped over Valentine's.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>But if you wear somebody or even just smashing like

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>niggas know, they'd better show up for whoever they fucking with. Oh,

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a whole problem,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>even if you don't even I don't even want no

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>goddamn happy Valentine's. They text him, you ain't send me

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have a batty who talks back. We actually have two

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>batties who talked back. But I'm gonna read about once

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys. So today's batty. Today's first batty is Moms Maybe,

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and she was one of the most successful entertainers of

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the black chitling circuit. She was Jackie Moms Maybe born

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Loretta Loretta Mary Aikin in eight and at the apex

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>of her long career, she was earning ten thousand a

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>week at Harlem's Apollo Theater. That's good money a week.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Maybe focused on conventional topics such as family and

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>others not normally covered by comedians of the era, white

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>or black, such as infidelity, poverty, welfare, and inebriation. So

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about getting drunk and ship. You couldn't talk

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.119
<v Speaker 1>about that then. Her career spanning five decades, although white

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>audiences did not know of her until the early nineteen sixties,

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Maybee played God Damn, I'm reading like agent. Maybe

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.479

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>appearances in the nineteen sixties included variety of show appearances

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.679
<v Speaker 1>like Flip Wilson, Mike Douglas, MERV Griffin, The Smother Brothers

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.960

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Martin's Laughing In nineteen sixty seven. She was an inspiration

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>for irreverent female comics of that era, including Phyllis Diller,

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and in her final years Maybee poked fund at the

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:29.039

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me. We see that you called the

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>bad Girl the comedy and the original back the original

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>don't get it twisted. The original Bad Girl and you

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 1>were talking to the Jazzmines brand and you said that

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you talk ship and you smacked the beach in the club.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Why did you smack that beach in the club. First

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>of all, you're asking me to explain why I have

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 1>the name the Original Badgirl a copy. Okay. I didn't

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>give myself that name. I don't give myself names. I

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>was given that name by a comedy promoter in the

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Bay Area named Rick Sullivan, many many, many years ago,

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>over twenty years ago, because at that time I was

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>considered a bad girl. I would bar fight, I would

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>go to jail. I was doing bad things. So that's

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>why he gave me that name. But regardless of my

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>personal activities, I still remain the funniest woman in the

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>funniest kind of in the room. So that's how it come.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I continued to work so our brand. We talk shit,

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>We raunchy, and we say what the funk we feel

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and I get like how I get

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>responses like how are you gonna ever find a husband

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>talking like that? How are you gonna be taking serious

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking like that? So I just want to

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>ask you being someone doing comedy for so long and

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.000

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that ship? Like? How do you navigate a world where

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>people tell you like, oh, you're not lady like enough

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're not this enough to sustain? How you find

0:07:55.440 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>a man that let yourself? How about that? Yet? That? Well,

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>actually he found me. I didn't find him. I'm very

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>much a fan of like who likes you? Quit trying

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to make people who don't like you like you. Mhm,

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>See who likes you and see if you can like

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>him back? You know. Number one? Number two, Um, my

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>husband met me in a club, uh, at a show,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>so he very much knew how I was the minute

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>he met me. Literally, And um, some men actually like

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and gravitate too bad girls obviously. I mean, if you

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>look at my friend Natalie Nunne, she's got a mouth,

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>she fights on television, and she has an amazing husband,

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful daughter, an amazing home life. You might say,

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>how does Natalie have a man. Well, I'm sure he

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>has to put up with a lot, but you know

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>he can take it. You know, Um, I think that. Um,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the old adage of being a nice girl, it doesn't

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>work anymore because guys aren't really looking for that nice

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>girl all the time, depending on the guy. UM my

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>husband and I right now, though, my husband is ill.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And when you have a mate who's ill, you really

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>start to realize what the vows mean better or worse,

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>rich or poor sickness and in health. And my husband

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is sick, so he doesn't travel with me anymore. I

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have that support system that I used to have

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>when he did travel with me and help me sling

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>merchandise and do all that kind of stuff. I think

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that even a bad girl is not a bad girl

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know, I still cook, I'm still

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>a mother. I still went to the PGA meetings as

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>much as I could. When my daughter was coming up,

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't as on the road as I am now,

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 1>so I was able who make her first years up

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to like thirteen or fourteen pretty solid. It's just since

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>then I've been traveling extensively and and doing a lot

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 1>more film and television on location and out of town.

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I really don't um know how anybody else does it.

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I just know how it works for for me. And

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's just got to be a certain

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy. You know, if I'm crazy and disrespectful,

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>as long as I'm not that way to him, you know,

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>then you probably don't. They probably don't have a problem

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>with it because it just comes with with the territory.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Male comics or talk about their wifely in their comedy. Yeah,

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So I'm really not even trying to

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>hear the ship. If you like me, you like me.

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>If you don't, you know, I had the end of

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship because you know, I was being censored on this podcast,

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Like I really feel like I can't be my fucking

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>self say what I want to say, and you know

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 1>that I don't. I don't want to say as a

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>character because we definitely ourselves, right. But if you can't

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>handle me talking about past experiences like our podcasts about relationships,

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>if you can't handle that type of ship, and you

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>don't need to be with me, because I'm gonna be

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>normal when I come home for you or when ware together, right,

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you can't handle me, just has been a

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>strong man. A strong man is going to back his woman,

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>a strong woman is going to back her man. I mean,

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you got men to do porn that are married and

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the women have to deal with that. And if this podcasts, uh,

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>if this podcast or US Women are not for you,

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>then there's a million podcasts that will suit you. You

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have to stay here listen to us and criticize us.

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Go over to Fred Hammond's podcast, go over to Karen

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Glugs podcast, go over to something else. There's more suited

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>for you. But here, this is your platform, and anybody

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that want to say anything about it, you know you

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>can go here. Middle fingers to my old life. I

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>mean that. Um So, being a female in a male

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>dominated industry, what do you feel like was your biggest

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>obstacle as far as your career is concerned. I don't

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>think I had many obstacles because my comedy speaks for itself.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you're a female and you're not as

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>strong as the men that you're performing with, that's when

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you run into a problem. But if you're a female

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're slaying consistently for years and you're in demand,

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and the people, because it's the people who make up

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>who's popular and who's not, you can't really buy that

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>if the people are writing with you, if you tap

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>into it as that guys of how people feel male

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and female, because I don't do comedy directed only at females.

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I do comedy directed at people. You know. I talk

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>about relationships. I talked about gaining weight, I talked about kids,

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about corona. I talked about all that type of

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and that deals with people, not just females. But

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of course I have to speak from a female perspective

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because out of every hundred comedy shows, you might see

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>seven females. You know, you have comedy shows that will

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>have like five men on them and no female. You have.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Females are the biggest ticket buyers, and the audience about

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>ticket for themselves, about ticket for their man sometimes, but

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>people don't support a comedy show with five females on it.

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>But see, you have to have the right type of female.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>No nobody wants to hear about your crams and your

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 1>minstrel cycle and your nails and all. I should talk

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>about from real it talk about the fact that we

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>have a generation of men growing up coddled and not

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 1>getting taught right, and that these these niggas out here

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>can't even Let's talk about that for a second, because

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.959
<v Speaker 1>listen our podcast We do talk to it about men

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot, right, but we also want to make women accountable,

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>so we always say, like, who raised these niggas? Oftentimes

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a black woman. Fortunately, well, it's a black woman

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>who stretched the stretched then and the man may have

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>left them holding the bag. And the society has um

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>made it the norm to have a single family, single

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and it made the double occupancy. The government has made

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it financially feasible to not have a man in the house.

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>You can go back and watch this movie called Claudine

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and that that was in the in the seventies and

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and and you can see how that has happened. I

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>think that men need to raise their male sons in

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the way that they were raised, you know, uh, if

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>they want, if they have a The reason we even

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>have gangs is because of the guys in gangs came

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>from a single parent household. They don't have the male

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>bonding that they need. A mother can teach your son

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things, but you can't be their daddy, period.

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>And it really takes a man to raise a man.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of women who do a good jobs

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>with their sons, but in some areas they're gonna be lacking.

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>We don't know unless you're I don't know how to

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>raise a male child. I don't know what balls are

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do. I don't know what how to take

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>care of little penises and ship, I don't know how

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I don't know how to shave a faith.

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>A man teaches a young man that I truly believe that,

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a shame to have. And then and

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>then when it comes to men of means, unfortunately, these

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>women are out there having children without the supporter of

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>their man, or even unwed because uh, I just don't.

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. There's not enough money. I wouldn't care if

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>us share impregnated me. There's not enough money for me

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to have a baby with a man simply for financial game,

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, which a lot of chicks are doing these days.

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>But that baby is not gonna stay a baby forever.

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna grow up. It ship gets more complicated, not

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>less complicated. To the school things you gotta attend to

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.080
<v Speaker 1>their parent teacher meetings that you need to show up for.

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>There's you know, events and athletics and all this ship

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that I can't stand. I had one. Now you talked

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.199
<v Speaker 1>about you said something about like the system, how the

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>system is set up for the single moms or whatever.

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that system was established because the men

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>were leaving? Because I don't. I don't think the system

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was established because the men were leaving. I think the

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 1>system was established because the men weren't. No, I don't

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>mean because they just weren't there in the first Clay.

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the system. I think it was set up

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to help destroy the black household. Literally. I think that

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>they have made it financially better for a woman in

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a certain bracket to be with yeah, or the women

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>escape scapegoat for men in that case, because like I said,

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>were they leaving the household or were was it to

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>where they just couldn't be there? Because I feel like

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe they weren't there in the first place, so they

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>left on their own accord, and then the system came in. Well,

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a man can leave, A man can't get up and

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>leave physically, they can do that. A woman can't leave.

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>We got to have it, Yeah, we have to have it,

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 1>so it's easier for them to believe. I think what

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you really need to do is try to work on

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>these relationships first before you jump up and try to

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>have a baby. Even when you do get married. You know,

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 1>why don't you enjoy each other for a while before

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you get married and automatically start spending out these kids,

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>because that is a big stressful you know, that's a

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>big undertaking raising the child when you want to raise

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the child. You know, I'm very um, I'm very uh

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 1>pro equipping. I'm very pro on that's fine. So yeah,

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll suck you up and I'm very pro pop up

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>at the school type thing. Like to be a scary,

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>unpredictable parents. What will keep these kids a little bit

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 1>in mind? You never know when my mama's gonna show up.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 1>My mama might be and you know, looking through the

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>fans and me at school, fear is what raises good kids. Yeah,

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.119
<v Speaker 1>but neither one of us. I've got kids right now,

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I always be teasing my friends that got kids. I

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>feel like, man, funck y'all black mama's. I can't stand

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>y'all ass because because they only do kids what was

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 1>done to them? Right, So I've okay, So I've every

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.399
<v Speaker 1>every nigg I haven't been with got kids, right. So

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like when you tell a kid like you

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'm really disappointed in you. If your goal

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>is to make that kid cry, you could tell them

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>some ship like that and they're gonna cry. Like you

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>don't have to put your hand on a little person

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>who I have the life experiences as you do as

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>an adult, and you're doing the same funked up ship.

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But because you're a certain age is okay, But you

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.440
<v Speaker 1>get to beat this kid because they're doing it. I

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>don't believe in that. Well, the fact that you every man,

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to every children majority majority, majority, Okay, Well,

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't choose to live with your baby mama's in

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>my life. So my husband did have children, they were

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>grown when we got married. My baby daddy don't have

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>no children. It's just he and I, so I don't

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with a baby mama. And the reason

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>my husband had daughters because his wife left and she's

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the one who went out on a drug binge and

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 1>left him with the children. So he raised three girls

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 1>by itself, So that was sort of a different situation.

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know, I don't want to some of them.

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Some guys have really great kids, a lot of them,

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them don't. And to be dealing with

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>younger kids even the little ones, even these little humans

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that'd be badest hell sometime they need. Yeah, I'm seeing

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a really um a spurt and really bad kids out

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>here entitled. These kids be entitled as hell man. They

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>think the world owed him something. I don't know. It's

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the crazy I know. When my daughter was coming up,

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I told her, I said, I will not ever buy

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you a video game. If you want to play video games,

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 1>go over when your friends houses and play, but you

0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 1>won't get one because A they're expensive. Be These kids

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>lose interests in about two weeks. And see you're fucking

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>seven years old. I want you to go outside and

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>get some air and bounce the ball, draw a hopscotch,

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>get the funk from because these kids are raised now

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and from birth, there's a camera shoved in their face

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>from birth, like in the birthing room sometimes. And then

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you got parents putting a little emojis and ship on

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>these kids. They don't need to think they're a bunny,

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>or that they're a deer or I don't like that.

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Ready for a metaverse? What do you think about what's

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 1>going on with Kanye What do you think about his

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:08.959
<v Speaker 1>antics with Kanye West? Well, I think it's really sad actually,

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, I remember the college dropout Kanye, and

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the Kanye that I really liked. But I think

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that everything stems back to when MS Donne passed away.

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that he's probably ever grieved that or

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>had therapy for that. You know, he may have guilt.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>He has his mother already had money, but she surely

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>had more money when Kanye started making money. So with

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that excess Kanye money, she wouldn't had all these surgeries

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and then subsequently bad. He may have guilt about that.

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So I think that he really did want a family,

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 1>really did love Kim, that really wanted to be with her.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 1>He wrote a song and then he lived his song,

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you know that that you know, what do

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you say about and soon they get what to take?

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>You ask for a white girl? And then what did

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>he do? And I don't think that whether he had

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a white or a black, I think he just needs

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>some therapy, some hugs. You need a hug, and that

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 1>he needed to just cool out for a while, go

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to Cabo, relaxed, spend some of your money. Because to me,

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the best thing he's done since college drop out is

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that choir, believe it or not, his choir is bomb ass.

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you know they sang a DMX funeral and

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I cried from the moment they open their mouth. So, UM,

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I just think that. Um it's first of all, I'm

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>confused about white Kim, who already had two beautiful children,

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>had to have two more? Why did she have to happen?

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 1>She can shoot like you had if y'all marriage is

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>really she had so much money, your marriage is really

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>feeling like that, like she just how old is the

0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>last child? So now you just had his last baby

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is saragate? I believe the last three of the years

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a surrogate, right. I don't think she had

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>she don't even the last two. She was pregnant twice, y'all? Sure,

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I think she was pregnant once. Well, I don't really

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 1>know because I don't I don't follow them like that.

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>But um, I think there's something sinister about why have

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>two more kids with a man who obviously has mental issues.

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think everything is for the bag because Kim's kids,

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>their kids, and their kids will never need a dime

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>if they never work. They've got so much money, they're

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>going to continue to make money, their money. I think

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that she did love him, but then she fell out

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of love because he went, you know, for the next

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>time and they weren't always to you. I'm like indifferent

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>because the ship he is doing to her publicly online,

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Like I've seen that before personally, so I know, like

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>narcissistic behavior when the fun I see it, right. But

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>then the other side of that, he's in the industry.

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 1>The first thing he was saying about um, the oldest

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>daughter is like, my daughter, never be a strip of

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>my daughter, Never do this in that looks like he's

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:12.719
<v Speaker 1>concerned about his children in this industry. You know what

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And we already know the tell me no,

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm a whole conspiracy theorist shoy. So yeah, but let's

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>let's I want to let's get back to you because

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk more about you. And I saw

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that you started at MS Wiz Club and Long Beach

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a like an old school club and Long Beach

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Club. And Robin Harris was your mentor. He became

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your mentor. What was that like and how did he

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 1>change your life as far as comedy is concerned. Well, okay,

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a club in Long Beach Commiss Wiz. This

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>since burned down, but some people do remember it. That's

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the first place I ever went on stage to do

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:53.760
<v Speaker 1>stand up comedy. And it wasn't because I wanted to

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 1>be a comedian. I had a roommate who was dating

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a comedian who around the club, and he would be

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.360
<v Speaker 1>around the house and he thought it was and he said,

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 1>if you ever want to stand up, come to my club.

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll put you on the minute you walk in. And

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't want to be no stand

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>up comedian. But then I did start thinking about some

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>things that happened to me that are funny, because if

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you know anything about my comedy, you can't quote a

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 1>joke that I tell because I don't tell jokes. I

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>tell stories because like Cosby used to do, or Richard

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>or stuff like that. And um, I wouldn't say that

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Robin was my mentor. He was the first person I

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 1>met on the very first day I did stand up.

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>When I got off the stage, I met Robin here

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 1>and he told me to go to the comedy at

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Theater that's where he hosted, and and it's sort of

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>snowballed after that, but I would say that it was

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>what you call it, it was like a sign. I'd

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>say that it was a sign that I met him

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the first might I ever did comedy. It's just like

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 1>when I got my residency in Las Vegas, George Wallace

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>brought me out on stage. Well, George Wallace had been

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas for you know, twenty years and been he's

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 1>like the king. A lot of faith for him to

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>bring me out on my first night. I take that

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>as a sign. So I wouldn't say Robin was my mentor,

0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>but he definitely was an inspiration for me. He definitely

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 1>was an inspiration for me because he didn't have the

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood looks, he wasn't slam and yet he was still

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the funniest one in the room. And I'm you know,

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not um, a little red bone, I don't have

0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>long hair, I'm not slender anything like that. But I slay.

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 1>So this is when your talent over comes your your look.

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. There's a bunch of ugly

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>male comedians out there that are killers. So I don't

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>think that we should be held to the same standard.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>But your your your product, your comedy should speak for itself.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 1>No matter what you look like. They've had comedians that

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>got cerebral policy that are killers on um on Amazon Prime.

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, guys, that Robin Harris died at thirty six

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>years old. Because we were kids, you know what I'm saying.

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize he was that young when he died.

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 1>And I saw your your piece on it, and you

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 1>were saying like, yeah, if you eat color greens and neckphones,

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:15.720
<v Speaker 1>all this ship. Everybody else had all this nice ship

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to say about that man. You're like, yeah, what then

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you being gonna happen, You're gonna have a No, it's

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 1>very well. No, there was there was a place in

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the Long Beach that he used to like to eat

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>like after the show. So we're talking about one o'clock

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, roused like this, you know, and uh

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like totally and this also you gotta remember there was

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>no bottled water. Then, there was no veganism. Then there

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>was no soy nothing, There was none of this back then.

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>He just ate what we what we were brown up,

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, but it was unhealthy. You mixed some Hennessy

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>with all that and late nights and you know you

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>might stroke out. It was a terrible loss for the

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 1>comedy community, and I do suggest everybody check out that

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>uh Fat Tuesday p h A T not f A

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>T p h A T Fat Tuesday documentary on Amazon

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Prime and to give you a lot of a lot

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>of history things for what I didn't know. They call

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>it hip hop comedy. That's interesting, but it is, yeah,

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 1>because it sort of came in the same era and

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>everything was between the clothes and the music and the

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>comedy all sort of like hit at the same time. Yeah,

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it was crazy. It was very exciting. What is your

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>take on these young comics or comedians coming up in

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:42.239
<v Speaker 1>the social media era where they just jump on go

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>viral and then now they're instant comedian and they didn't

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>have to get it out the mud like some of

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the greats that you came up with. What's your thoughts

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>on that? Well? At first, I was extremely resentful because

0:29:56.560 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>we have had to go through a lot to get

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the spot that we're in, and it seems like they

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>came out of nowhere and did videos on Instagram. Now

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they're booked in the same club it took me twenty

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>years to get booked in and they're standing next to me.

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I was very, very resentful. And I said it. Now

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I have changed my mind since then slightly. Um. I

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think that everybody who's doing comedy that came from

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Instagram is a comedian. I do think that a lot

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of them have a good future at being a comedic

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>actor or actress. I don't think that everybody has the

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 1>jobs or the we're thought to do stand up comedy,

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>even though they sell the club out. A lot of

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 1>times these people from Instagram sell the club about the

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>people come and they're disappointed because they weren't really as

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 1>funny in person as they were when they had their

0:30:54.840 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>edited content on social media. I do enjoy just hilarious.

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I do enjoy Country Wayne, And you know, I'm probably

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna stop right there because there's some others that I'm

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 1>still still trying to check out. And unfortunately I can't

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 1>speak on all of their comedy because I haven't seen it.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Because we all work at the same time. Every comedian

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>works on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night, So how can

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I go see you even if we're in the same

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 1>town if we're both on stage at the same time.

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe if you're on a Sunday, if you have one

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>show and they have two shows. You can get over

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to where they are and maybe catch the second show,

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but that's rare. I'm dying to see what be Stramone

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>does on stage. She seems to be killing it. I'm

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>dying to see, you know. I didn't know Country Wayne

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 1>personally until we worked together, and I wanted to see

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>what he does on stage. And now I have theeings

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's really, really, really good and very spiritual, more

0:31:56.560 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>so than Jesus is popping. That's just about what he says.

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 1>He really has his Bible with him. Yeah, he's a

0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 1>really rounded guy, doing really good with all his kids

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and baby Mama's. I don't think they got a word though,

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>make a slave out of him. I wouldn't say a slave.

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 1>He's a very high I probably slave, but that's what

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 1>he is. So I didn't I didn't really feel it

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning. But I take issue with them being

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>called comedians. I would say, you know, like I said,

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>comic actor or internet comedian or striving comedian or you

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>know something like that, but um, you know, that's just me.

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>They don't. Here's the other thing. They don't give a

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>funk what I think. See. I used to give a funk,

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like what Paul Mooney thought of me, or what what

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Robin Harris thought of me, or what even d L

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>thought of me or d Rade there. I used to

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>give a funk. I still do, but the social media

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 1>influences social media, to me, they don't care what I think.

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>They don't give a funk about us, and that's that's

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of hurtful because you know, like that, you know,

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>they didn't even hire women for this club. We came

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 1>through the Lord, so we came through and then made

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the way, but they don't really give a funk about us,

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and so subsequently a lot of us don't give a

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>funk about them. But I think that, you know, there

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>are social media people out there who do look up

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to some of us, maybe not me, but some of us.

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And then that's always good because you know, we haven't

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.360
<v Speaker 1>been out here bust and asses for the hell of it,

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and not for the money, because we did comedy before

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>there was any money. We did comedy before there was

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>any money. I did comedy for free for years because

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it's in me. It's something I had to get out,

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.479
<v Speaker 1>it's something that it's part of me. You know, I

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think you should do comedy unless you feel like

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you would die if you don't do it. You feel

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>me No, I do, I do. So let me tell

0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you something. I signed up for a amateur comedy night

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>here in Charlotte right before the pandemic. And then stop

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 1>why because I man, and I have jokes all the time.

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm always telling jokes. I'm always making people laugh. My

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>mom always not made up jokes, stories, stories, It's just

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 1>with off the dome. I don't tell. I don't like

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>write jokes out and be like, hey, I just you know,

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:26.879
<v Speaker 1>flew in from Vegas and boy, my arms are tired. No,

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:30.400
<v Speaker 1>none of that. Ship. It's just like I tell stories

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that are true, and usually it would be like ship

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>that's dark, but I'll make it funny. Right. So I

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:38.879
<v Speaker 1>wrote some stuff about growing up with parents that are

0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>were addicted to drugs and in the eighties. You know, everybody, mama,

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>half of us, Mama and daddy was smoking crack in

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the eighties, right, So yeah, So I made some jokes

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>about it and I thought it was real funny. But

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>then I didn't go because I didn't want to offend

0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>my family. I didn't want to fend my parents and

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the people who I love who the jokes were about,

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't tell them. So what would you say

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to someone who wants to use their life experience that

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe dark, but you find a way to make it humorous.

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:14.759
<v Speaker 1>How do you apply that without hurting people? Hear some

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 1>people you're going to it's it's if you're married to

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a painter, at some time, you're gonna get some paint

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>on you. If you're working with a sculptor, at some point,

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get some clay on you. If you have

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a comedian in your family, you're gonna probably get some

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, material that you can identify. It applies to

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you on stage. And even if you're in a relationship

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.320
<v Speaker 1>with a guy that is gonna end up on stage. Now,

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:47.239
<v Speaker 1>it's how you treat me that determines what I say

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 1>on stage. If you treat me like a queen, I'm

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be honest talking my my man is really amazing.

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe I got this guy found her up.

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Or if you treat me like a deck then I'm

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on stage talking about the ship you did.

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's really on them what you say. Um, you

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 1>have to have a certain fucking attitude I'll talk about

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>my daughter with my daughter backstage, I'm talking about my

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>husband with them looking right at me. You have to

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 1>have you have to be able to turn that off.

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And they're either gonna get with the program or they're not. Now,

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of seven brothers and sisters, and for

0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a long time, they didn't. They didn't support me and

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what I was doing. They didn't like it. They didn't

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.919
<v Speaker 1>like the language that I used because you know, at

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 1>this particular time, nobody in my family when one of

0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:41.720
<v Speaker 1>my older brothers had a mouth like me, nobody and

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>my mother very delicate and sedat, and she didn't support

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:50.799
<v Speaker 1>me in that either. Well fuck that and fuck you too,

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:52.719
<v Speaker 1>because this is what I'm doing. But you want to

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>know something, that's all chance now and and and they

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 1>will get on your side if you would come successful.

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 1>If you don't become successful, that's when they be like,

0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 1>see all that ship talking ain't got you nowhere. You

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>ain't doing it. We talk about you. It's like your

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>story too, so I can't talk about it. That's how

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel. It's your story to tell you just and

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, of course, nobody wants to hurt people's feeling,

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like being at war. There's gonna be

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>some casualties, you know, So I just, you know, I

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>would say, if it's your truth and you feel like

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you need to share it because it's other people's truth,

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:32.719
<v Speaker 1>then you just go ahead and do that and deal

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 1>with fallout because I feel like it. I mean, it's

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>so funny ship. I mean, nothing's funny about smoking, cracking,

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the devastation that drugs us to the family. But you

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 1>can find some ways to make that ship. Yeah, absolutely.

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 1>But also you have to think also about your comedy,

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 1>because comedy is not exclusive to black people. So can

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you take that same material and do it in Can

0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you take that same material and do it in front

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of a Latin audience? Can you take that material and

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:10.759
<v Speaker 1>do it in front of a gay audience? Because when

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you do comedy, you have to do comedy for all

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.359
<v Speaker 1>those people. Feel more comfortable with them, you feel more

0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with your people. And the Latin community. I'm very

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:33.320
<v Speaker 1>into and and I really, uh really support Latin comics,

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:37.439
<v Speaker 1>and I just uh in any of the ethnicities are

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:39.960
<v Speaker 1>actually way funnier than a lot of the white comics.

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I see. If you go on you know, Persian Night

0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that ship is funny too, you know, because everybody you

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>know talking about terrorists and ship like that, and they

0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 1>know it, so they make fun of that, and that's funny.

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And you go to Latin Nite, that's hilarious. If you

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>go to gay nights something. Because when you go do comedy,

0:38:57.239 --> 0:38:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't just go see black comics. You should go

0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.120
<v Speaker 1>see every body so that you can sort of gauge

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, be able to look at your audience

0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 1>and between the between the walk from backstage to the microphone,

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you should be able to read the audience just that quick.

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And if you're scripted you do the same comedy in

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi as you do in New York and you do

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:19.840
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago. That don't always work. But if you freestyle

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot, then you can adjust your ship to the

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 1>audience that you're performing in front of. You know what

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Does that make sense? Like you can't go

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to you can't go to Chicago and talk about h

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>C transit. You have to talk about the L train.

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't, you know, you have to talk about what's

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:41.400
<v Speaker 1>in the city. Have you ever gone on stage and bomb,

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like totally bomb, like damn, I've never been booed in

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.719
<v Speaker 1>my life. Whether somebody wants to believe it or not,

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it's the true. But I've got the silent treatment before.

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of these, you know, one of those,

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.719
<v Speaker 1>but that was really only after doing like a big

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.239
<v Speaker 1>show with like thirteen or fourteen comics on and you're

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:05.800
<v Speaker 1>like number thirteen and they've been sitting there watching comedy

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 1>for like four hours, like we're tired, you know, But

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Really, I don't. I don't. I don't have

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bad experiences, but I've had something. But

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I've never been booed ever. Do you think that's the

0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 1>writer passage for a comedian or a comic to just

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.839
<v Speaker 1>have one, at least one show where you funked up?

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Kind of it teaches you some humility. I think you

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:31.160
<v Speaker 1>better stay humble at the gate period, because the one

0:40:31.160 --> 0:40:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of the worst shows I've ever done was trying to

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.120
<v Speaker 1>be cocky and be like, let me show you how

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to step mother's like yeah, and then you go out

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and then it don't work for you because God will

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 1>put this hand down fucking fuck your shut up. I

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:46.759
<v Speaker 1>tried to never be like, you know, like I might

0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 1>be happy after I've done something really great. But I

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:51.440
<v Speaker 1>don't go back and say I killed that ship. I

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I just don't do that. That's just me because it's

0:40:55.280 --> 0:41:00.479
<v Speaker 1>an unattractive trait. Cockiness is an unattractive trait that makes

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 1>me sick of people. You know, you let a comedy

0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:07.839
<v Speaker 1>speak for itself. I do. That's just me, though. You know,

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the people who probably should be listening to the podcast

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and getting the gyms may not be that. You know.

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 1>That's just like when when when grown folks have a

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.279
<v Speaker 1>discussion about gun play and stuff in the streets. Well,

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the people with the guns and in the streets ain't

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>sitting home looking at that podcast, so they didn't get

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the memo. You know. But I hope that whoever's watching

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and listening does at least consider some of the stuff

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that we're talking about. You know, you gotta make your

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 1>decision for yourself, right, I think I'm gonna try to

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 1>do girl. You won't never tell me that, okay, but

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 1>but I just always in. But what is the what

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 1>is the goal? What do you want? What are you

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? Want to make people laugh forever forever? Comedians

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:57.360
<v Speaker 1>don't retire, they die, right, you know that, right? I

0:41:57.480 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't retire here didn't retired. Paul Mooney didn't retire that,

0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Gregory didn't retire. Jump Rivers didn't retire. We don't retire.

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 1>We're work until we die. But I'm okay with that.

0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:12.359
<v Speaker 1>If I could spend my life making people laugh, I'm

0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 1>okay with it. What if somebody offered you a broadcast

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>uh position, because you're doing broadcasting, now, what would you

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 1>go into that? Days more? Absolutely? Absolutely, just if I

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 1>could just bring joy to people, that's all it. It

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 1>ain't even about money for me. I just want to

0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:32.239
<v Speaker 1>see people smiling, man, I like, and I just want

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to use my truth to do that. You won't be

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:36.320
<v Speaker 1>able to see him smiling on big stage. Get to

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:40.440
<v Speaker 1>hear them, because when I'm when I'm in the dressing

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:43.359
<v Speaker 1>room and I like, if I'm headlining and I got

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>my host and my feature out, I'm not really listening

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to the material too much. I'm listening to see if

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I hear the laughs. Are they laughing at this motherfucker?

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>That's That's what I wanted up And then also I

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 1>do try to listen. You know, some rooms you can't

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>hear the stage, and other rooms have the monitory to

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:06.960
<v Speaker 1>watch the show. It's always helpful to watch the comments

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 1>ahead of you because you may have material that's similar

0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to theirs. You don't want to go out looking like

0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a hack because that's subject has already been preached. So

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 1>then maybe you want to change your set and not

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:20.400
<v Speaker 1>do that and do this instead. Has already talked about that.

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. It pays to listen. And

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>then when when I see younger comments coming there, they

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:31.319
<v Speaker 1>like they want to go do multiple rooms in a night.

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Well that's fine, but you are on a show with

0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:39.880
<v Speaker 1>like George Lopez, you should probably stay and watch the

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:42.600
<v Speaker 1>person who's in the position trying to get to to

0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:44.920
<v Speaker 1>see what they did. Why did this joke? Were good

0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in this room? What does this room like? Do they like?

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Are they couples? Are they single? Are they black? Are

0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>they white? Are they drinking? Are they sober? Are they happy?

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Are they grumpy? You know all that shi It has

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot to do with what you do and how

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be received. So you will will have like

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 1>like what you're gonna say playing and then switch it

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>up right before you go out there. I really only

0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:17.200
<v Speaker 1>have about four things planned, and I have thirty years

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.600
<v Speaker 1>worth of material in my head though, See, so I

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:22.520
<v Speaker 1>can pute from anything. You know, you want to talk

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>about pregnancy, I got that. I want to talk about divorce.

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I got that. I wanna talk about crack. I got

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that I want to talk about wait, I got that.

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I want to talk about interracial relationships. I

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:37.120
<v Speaker 1>got that. I don't even see my man. Somebody in

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.879
<v Speaker 1>my team is married to a white woman. I talked

0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>about him every single day. I'm like, I don't know

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>how to fund y'all live together. You got the black

0:44:45.080 --> 0:44:47.600
<v Speaker 1>guy going through the house turning to heat up. You

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:49.279
<v Speaker 1>got the white girl going through the house turn to

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>get down. Our fucking day, the thermostat is up there,

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 1>down I'm so cold. Yeah, but I'm burning up. Well,

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm seazing. But as I didn't here, I know you

0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:04.279
<v Speaker 1>you on the Cat Williams um shore and he named

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it world War three? War three right now. Cat Williams

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is one of the most funniest, but he's also like

0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the more to me, one of more conscious

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:15.880
<v Speaker 1>entertainers in the industry. Why why why is it world

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:17.759
<v Speaker 1>War three? Does he think that we're about to go

0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to war? No, we're at war. If you haven't noticed, yeah,

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>we're dealing with chemical warfare, spiritual warfare. We're dealing with

0:45:29.840 --> 0:45:33.359
<v Speaker 1>spiritual warfare, racial warfare. We're in it now. We're it's

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:37.239
<v Speaker 1>not coming. We're in it now. You know, we're at war.

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 1>They're killing our brothers in the street with no repercussion.

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.319
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the poor the girl Shakari that

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.319
<v Speaker 1>got busted for smoking weed for the Olympics right after

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>her mother died. But now they got a white girl

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that testifies mother, but they're gonna let her. That's people.

0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Black people are definitely not at the bottom at the

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Automa to totem pole. These motherfucker's work around the clock

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to figure out ways to funk us up, and we

0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.440
<v Speaker 1>just be chilling. I'm just trying to figure out, like

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:10.879
<v Speaker 1>what's the what's the attack? Like why, Like black people

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:13.520
<v Speaker 1>got to realize like we're super special, you know what

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So I don't know it's wicked. Well, you

0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>would need to get a white politician on or somebody

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 1>white to answer that question. I think that a lot

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of it has to do with jealousy. White men are

0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:29.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously jealous of Black men and their sexual progress. You know,

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you know anything, all right, Okay, It may not be

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>in public, it might be behind the building. But you know,

0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 1>very few white men can pull her sister away from

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a brother, But but a brother can pull your bit

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:51.080
<v Speaker 1>any day. Because we're superior. They're very upset the fact

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 1>that we're the first people that we're superior. We can

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:56.839
<v Speaker 1>do different things to our hair. And there I was like, oh,

0:46:56.880 --> 0:46:58.759
<v Speaker 1>let me touch it? Can I touch it? And then

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:00.319
<v Speaker 1>they were and then they pat you on the head

0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:02.960
<v Speaker 1>like a dog or running hand over your head like this.

0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Now you're gonna get sucked up. You know that we're

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:10.400
<v Speaker 1>super talented. Anything we put our mind to, we can excel.

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh King Richard the movie Venus and Serena. They didn't

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>see black girls from Compton coming over. They came dominated

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:21.799
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the game Tiger Woods. They didn't

0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:23.520
<v Speaker 1>think that nigger was gonna be on the golf course

0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:26.120
<v Speaker 1>doing it like that. But look what happened. You know,

0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we got some swimmers, We got you know,

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.319
<v Speaker 1>anything we do, we excel in. And I think a

0:47:31.360 --> 0:47:36.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of rage and jealousy comes behind that from from

0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:39.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe the white men in power, because that's that is

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:42.560
<v Speaker 1>their power, being in power. Money is the power play

0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:47.279
<v Speaker 1>that they got because we already know black like black

0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:49.840
<v Speaker 1>women like we may not we'd be on the forefront,

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:51.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, but what white women may be in the

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:55.040
<v Speaker 1>bedrooms and they pillow talking what they meant and telling

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 1>them what then to do like the women the men

0:47:56.880 --> 0:48:04.439
<v Speaker 1>to me and do what I tried. Listen, I tried

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:06.879
<v Speaker 1>that ship one time. I'm not doing that no more.

0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>My eyebrows burnt right off my face at her. I'll

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do it once a year for a birthday or something.

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I ain't doing it. My ass is as it was

0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:20.400
<v Speaker 1>when I was. Now, you said you would take a

0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:24.319
<v Speaker 1>COVID test in that ass this morning. Now I saw, yeah,

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:26.920
<v Speaker 1>But look at that. That's that's that's why I'm is

0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>very tiny. That's nothing but like that as opposed to

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:37.799
<v Speaker 1>something that's like this. Yeah, but if you could do it,

0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>then you got skills. Because I I wish I could

0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:43.279
<v Speaker 1>do it, but I can't do it. No. I had

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a friend who said she right. I got a girlfriend

0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:53.400
<v Speaker 1>said she that ship does not feel good. It's just

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 1>the act of it, the nasty ass act of it

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:59.759
<v Speaker 1>feels good to them. Yeah, I don't know why I

0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:01.720
<v Speaker 1>need I would want to suck me in my dirty

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:05.279
<v Speaker 1>asshole and I got a fabulous pussy that's like just

0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:08.719
<v Speaker 1>this far away. I feel like I'm you're a woman

0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in that. I don't feel like anything a man does

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:17.120
<v Speaker 1>with a woman, I don't think so, because do you

0:49:17.160 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 1>think about that is gay? Well, nobody asking me to

0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:30.759
<v Speaker 1>stick these in? I do it, but I'm out of

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.719
<v Speaker 1>jig with a deal though before. But they're fucking they

0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:36.640
<v Speaker 1>got something latent. I don't know. They always say, well,

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the prostrate and that's very sexual. Nigga, Really, how

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:45.640
<v Speaker 1>did you know that? I'm not into the ass flay

0:49:45.719 --> 0:49:48.040
<v Speaker 1>but that's just me. Anybody or whatever you do in

0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the bedroom and make you and your partner happy, go

0:49:50.719 --> 0:49:52.480
<v Speaker 1>for it, but don't don't come at me with that ship.

0:49:52.560 --> 0:50:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not hold on. Let's say some bills stories so so,

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:04.799
<v Speaker 1>because we've all been a dumb bitch at least, so

0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 1>we have this segment on our show called Dumby Story right,

0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and we share our stories of like making bad choices

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to men and relationships, or getting played

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:17.880
<v Speaker 1>by a nigga or something like that. Can you share

0:50:17.920 --> 0:50:20.120
<v Speaker 1>with us a time where like a nigga played with

0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you or you made a bad choice behind the man. Yeah,

0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a thirty year bad choice that I was

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:32.080
<v Speaker 1>working on and off for like thirty years, and and

0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and he was the best lover I ever had. That

0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:38.520
<v Speaker 1>was probably the reason. But he taught me a lot,

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he spoke, and I thought that was

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:44.960
<v Speaker 1>so empowering, and you know, he did a lot of

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:48.400
<v Speaker 1>really nature guy and you know, camping and all that.

0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Ship and uh. But at the end of the day,

0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it took me thirty years and finally cut this motherfucker loose,

0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and never funk with him again. And I

0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think I wasted my time with him, but it

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:06.600
<v Speaker 1>certainly wasn't productive, I'll say that. And it was just

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:12.759
<v Speaker 1>really a sex sex thing. And I feel like he

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:15.759
<v Speaker 1>felt freer with me than probably anybody else, and I

0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 1>felt free with him as well. And that was the mac.

0:51:19.600 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 1>But but when you put your feet on the floor,

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:26.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, can we still get along with our feet

0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on the floor when they're not up in the air.

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:37.240
<v Speaker 1>So it See, that's the thing I nigga play with Gemini.

0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's fucking motherfucker Geminis. I believe that motherfucking asked Gemini.

0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:49.360
<v Speaker 1>But see, ladies listening to that nigga will play with

0:51:49.360 --> 0:51:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you for thirty whole years if you we'll be letting

0:51:53.920 --> 0:51:57.760
<v Speaker 1>these niggas. These niggas ain't doing. But you know, everything

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:01.560
<v Speaker 1>is a learning is span. Some people learned lesson earlier.

0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:05.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, you grow and mature. You know that there's

0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:07.400
<v Speaker 1>people that could have pulled you when you were seventeen,

0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that couldn't couldn't come in the room with you. Now

0:52:10.200 --> 0:52:14.520
<v Speaker 1>we all sort of evolved as we get older, you

0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. And for me like I me

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and these younger motherfucker's girls, they liked me for some reason.

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I body like you. So I've often been and the

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:36.400
<v Speaker 1>guy that the guy that the gemmi excuse me, was

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:38.319
<v Speaker 1>older than me. So you know, I finally had an

0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 1>older guy, older man, teach me this and show me that.

0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, I don't really

0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:50.480
<v Speaker 1>like guys that are my age because they start slowing

0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:54.360
<v Speaker 1>down and I'm just up. And so because I have,

0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:56.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, a young spirit and I'm out of you're

0:52:56.840 --> 0:53:00.640
<v Speaker 1>doing this, a lot of younger guys um that they're

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>attracting to me. So uh, you know, we we we saw,

0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:10.799
<v Speaker 1>we saw that expanty, that savage expanty. Shoot yes, man,

0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:17.279
<v Speaker 1>that was a business. Still, Uh, I wouldn't have done

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it for like Rainbow, you line, excuse me, but it

0:53:22.760 --> 0:53:25.799
<v Speaker 1>was Rihanna, So I feel like I put some legitimacy

0:53:25.840 --> 0:53:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to it or else I would have never because I

0:53:27.760 --> 0:53:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have four brothers and they followed me on Instagram. I

0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:32.759
<v Speaker 1>don't want to put my ass up there for my

0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:35.440
<v Speaker 1>brother to see. I wish I could have blocked them,

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 1>but it paid very well. And this is Rihanna and

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this is Lara, and I tried to do it with

0:53:41.600 --> 0:53:45.200
<v Speaker 1>some class and some style. I even shot uh six

0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:48.400
<v Speaker 1>page red for Penthouse, but I didn't bust it open

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:51.399
<v Speaker 1>like that? Was that a misconception about? Because I mean,

0:53:51.440 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 1>based on your comedy content, like people would think that

0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.360
<v Speaker 1>you're busting wide open, you know what I'm saying. So

0:53:56.400 --> 0:53:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that is and we know you don't like hugging strangers, right,

0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:01.799
<v Speaker 1>So what's the what's the misconception about? Well, no, I

0:54:01.960 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>love hugging strangers. You know, I love hugging people. I

0:54:06.120 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 1>have severe allergies, though, and I'm allergic to some people's

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:13.719
<v Speaker 1>perfume or the makeup. And they kissed me or hugged me,

0:54:14.000 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 1>then twenty minutes after they leave. I'm starting to wheeze

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 1>and my eyes are starting to sweat swell up, and

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I have to put an epipin in my leg. I

0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:26.560
<v Speaker 1>started doing stopped doing that before quarantine started, just because

0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, twice a year, I would have a horrible

0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for the allergic reaction and then I have to go

0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital if I'm not around my epipin, And

0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.239
<v Speaker 1>then they don't know that I have done shows with

0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:41.959
<v Speaker 1>my eyes swollen shut before and I still did the show.

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't cancel, and then I took it off and

0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:46.640
<v Speaker 1>showed the people so they didn't think I was just

0:54:46.680 --> 0:54:49.719
<v Speaker 1>trying to be cool and were my shades for the

0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:51.920
<v Speaker 1>whole show. I let him know that I'm here for you,

0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:54.400
<v Speaker 1>doing the show for you because you paid to see me,

0:54:55.239 --> 0:54:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and here I am. But I'll let you know that

0:54:56.960 --> 0:54:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm struggling right now, but I'm still here to do that.

0:55:00.480 --> 0:55:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Um uh. The meeting Greefs now, we don't do them.

0:55:06.239 --> 0:55:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Also because she I was on tour with Cat fifteen

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:11.600
<v Speaker 1>years ago. So that's why it's so wonderful for all

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of us to be back together again now fifteen years later. Now,

0:55:15.040 --> 0:55:18.560
<v Speaker 1>when Cat used to do theaters, we would do meet

0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and greets. But if you do a three thousand and

0:55:21.360 --> 0:55:24.720
<v Speaker 1>see theater and two thousand five people want to picture,

0:55:25.320 --> 0:55:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Now you're there two and a half hours after the

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:30.680
<v Speaker 1>show has ended. Security wants to go home, they want

0:55:30.680 --> 0:55:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to close the play. They gotta pay extra money. And

0:55:33.680 --> 0:55:36.000
<v Speaker 1>so we had to stop doing that before and it does.

0:55:36.200 --> 0:55:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But now we're doing arenas and ship so we don't

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:40.799
<v Speaker 1>we don't come in contact. You know, I know you've

0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 1>seen the actress A J. H. A J. Johnson interview

0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>on another show and she was talking about how she

0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:50.640
<v Speaker 1>did a threesome for her fiftieth birthday. So is that

0:55:50.719 --> 0:55:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a misconception? We can't count on Lunell to have had

0:55:53.360 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 1>done a threesome sometime in life. There that I see.

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I came up through the seventies. Now this was before

0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:09.279
<v Speaker 1>crack and before you know, I was even out there,

0:56:09.640 --> 0:56:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, before the AIDS epidemic even hit. You know,

0:56:12.719 --> 0:56:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I've lost twenty five friends to AIDS. You know, it's

0:56:16.120 --> 0:56:19.760
<v Speaker 1>not just about COVID. AIDS is still out there. Gonna

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Rea is still out there, her pies is still out there.

0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You need to be safe, period. You shouldn't put nobody's

0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:28.719
<v Speaker 1>raw dick in your mouth, in your ass, or your

0:56:28.760 --> 0:56:31.480
<v Speaker 1>pussy until they put a ring on it and you

0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:33.920
<v Speaker 1>don't lock down and said this, but even at that rate,

0:56:34.239 --> 0:56:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what I was saying. I preach about condom six

0:56:36.920 --> 0:56:39.520
<v Speaker 1>all the time on this show, but some people don't

0:56:39.560 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people don't like it. They like

0:56:43.120 --> 0:56:45.759
<v Speaker 1>it raw, that's it. Well, that's fine if they like

0:56:45.840 --> 0:56:48.319
<v Speaker 1>taking penicell and they're like taking pills and they're like

0:56:48.360 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 1>going to the doctor. Fuck raw. As much as you

0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:57.600
<v Speaker 1>want good okay on me personally, I don't want to suck.

0:56:57.880 --> 0:56:59.840
<v Speaker 1>All it take is one you have to trust for

0:56:59.880 --> 0:57:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you went if you know what you're doing in bed,

0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't matter if you had a sock on your dick. Damn.

0:57:06.400 --> 0:57:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Teach me how to do that, because I don't know

0:57:08.120 --> 0:57:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what to do with no. Well, it could save it.

0:57:13.400 --> 0:57:15.439
<v Speaker 1>One of my friends right now, he told me that

0:57:16.160 --> 0:57:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he was working with an older woman one time and

0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:21.600
<v Speaker 1>she was blow drying her pussy. She was blow drying pussy, Like, yeah,

0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:24.440
<v Speaker 1>these young girls don't know about that. He said, her

0:57:24.480 --> 0:57:27.560
<v Speaker 1>pussy was so fucking warm, and so I'm like, wait,

0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I never blow dry my pussy before I sucked. Somebody

0:57:30.560 --> 0:57:33.720
<v Speaker 1>now to get it, get a little hot box going on.

0:57:35.480 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the exception. I think that's exception, not

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the rule about no blow drying like she got going

0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:48.240
<v Speaker 1>on down there. Yeah, to make sure she's got no

0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:54.400
<v Speaker 1>extra moisture. Well if if she if you're with any man,

0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm a big believer that there's no

0:57:57.040 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>such thing as vaginal dryness. I mean, if you were

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to write, motherfucker, pussy gonna get wet if you kiss

0:58:03.280 --> 0:58:05.240
<v Speaker 1>mom somebody and they're messing with you and your pussy,

0:58:05.280 --> 0:58:07.920
<v Speaker 1>don't get wet. Listen to your pussy. That's your pussy's

0:58:07.920 --> 0:58:11.160
<v Speaker 1>way of saying, we don't want to him, right that

0:58:11.360 --> 0:58:14.400
<v Speaker 1>part you may want to, but we don't want to

0:58:14.440 --> 0:58:18.280
<v Speaker 1>listen to your pussy, lady. Right. If he got a

0:58:18.320 --> 0:58:21.640
<v Speaker 1>spit started, it ain't for you. Don't spit on me,

0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:27.520
<v Speaker 1>nasty motherfucker? What is that? What is that? But yeah?

0:58:28.840 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But but I do, I do. I do like to

0:58:30.840 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>hug folks, and I did a lot of that, but

0:58:34.360 --> 0:58:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I just can't do it no more. So let me

0:58:36.360 --> 0:58:40.200
<v Speaker 1>ask you this one takeaway that our listeners can get

0:58:40.240 --> 0:58:45.320
<v Speaker 1>from you about life and being a comedian and your future.

0:58:45.440 --> 0:58:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Where would you get them one piece of advice being

0:58:49.480 --> 0:58:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a woman, well about life, about being a comedian, because

0:58:53.360 --> 0:58:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that's true different Okay, well maybe that part was with me,

0:58:57.640 --> 0:59:02.640
<v Speaker 1>but whichever when you choose. Okay, Well, as far as

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>being a comedian, I would say, don't ever ever believe

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:10.040
<v Speaker 1>your own publicity or drink the kool aid or think

0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you're the ship, even if you are, because there's some

0:59:13.440 --> 0:59:16.840
<v Speaker 1>little comedians and naxis Mississippi that could probably wipe the

0:59:16.840 --> 0:59:18.840
<v Speaker 1>floor with you, and you just don't know who they are.

0:59:19.320 --> 0:59:22.760
<v Speaker 1>They got comedians in Africa, they got comedians in Jamaica,

0:59:23.080 --> 0:59:25.960
<v Speaker 1>they got comedians in the South. They got comedians here

0:59:25.960 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 1>on the East Coast where I am. The East Coast,

0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 1>comedians are way more intelligent and have way more highbrow

0:59:33.240 --> 0:59:35.600
<v Speaker 1>type of comedy than we do when I'm from the South.

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:38.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm talking about neck bones and stuff like that,

0:59:38.160 --> 0:59:40.640
<v Speaker 1>but they could be talking about Wall Street and ship

0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that we don't even know about. So I just say,

0:59:43.400 --> 0:59:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, like Kendrick says, sit down, bitch, be humble.

0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:50.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, don't ever ever ever think that you're the ship,

0:59:50.920 --> 0:59:53.640
<v Speaker 1>because there's somebody out there that is batter than you,

0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're coming for your spot period. As far as

0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:01.480
<v Speaker 1>life goes, I would say, just try to you know,

1:00:02.320 --> 1:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>try to be nice. But if somebody's not being nice

1:00:06.560 --> 1:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>back to you, that ass up. Don't take no ship.

1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Offer nobody, especially racially these days, don't. If somebody rapes you,

1:00:15.200 --> 1:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>don't wait for a teen years to tell it. Tell.

1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>If somebody hurts you, don't wait to tell that. Tell

1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, if somebody steals your material, tell about that.

1:00:26.680 --> 1:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what these platforms are far and and and if

1:00:30.120 --> 1:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>somebody is just an asshole, you can tell that too.

1:00:33.360 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Because the day of not saying something about somebody who's

1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>sucked up so you don't lose your job, that ship

1:00:40.440 --> 1:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>is over. Tell the truth, get another job. Yeah, over everything.

1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but I'm not you know, I'm not Miss Cleo.

1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't be a still safer for everybody. But this

1:00:52.960 --> 1:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>is just what I find words for me. One of

1:00:56.240 --> 1:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the reasons that I even God in comedy is just

1:00:59.840 --> 1:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell to purge some stuff out of me from

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the comedy is my church. I don't get to go

1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to church. I'm always lying on a Sunday and doing

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:11.439
<v Speaker 1>showing the Sunday. And I love church well. I love

1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>music mhm and some of the words because I've been

1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>doing a deep dive into this thing now and I'm like, well,

1:01:22.640 --> 1:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Jesus didn't right the Bible right, some white man did.

1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>And so we had a religion before we came over

1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>here from Africa that didn't include Christ. The blond white man.

1:01:39.280 --> 1:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I would like to know more about, you know, the

1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>RBA that the gem and I taught me religion and

1:01:46.440 --> 1:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>some of our black ancestral stuff. You can go to church.

1:01:49.800 --> 1:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I love church. I love the feeling. I can get

1:01:52.360 --> 1:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the word you take from what you what you want

1:01:54.800 --> 1:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and leave the rest. But you know, uh, everybody that

1:01:59.320 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>dies is I go to heaven. Some people are assholes.

1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>And then oh he was a good man. No it wasn't.

1:02:06.640 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh he you know, first accepted Christ when he was said,

1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't know he didn't you know, tell the fu

1:02:12.920 --> 1:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>truth about about about people and and just trying to

1:02:17.400 --> 1:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>try to be a good person. But just don't take

1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>no ship, you know, and they don't have to be.

1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>There's also a way to cuss people out without cussing too,

1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>because I have a Bachelor of Arts degree UM in

1:02:28.560 --> 1:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>English literature from cal State Hayward. And people don't know that.

1:02:32.880 --> 1:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And I can write a letter on your ass that

1:02:35.400 --> 1:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>will rip their asster shreds without using any cuss words periods.

1:02:41.880 --> 1:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Do it and I like it. Yeah, you don't have

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a channel yet. Definitely relationships and relationship for me, that's

1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I can speak Karen's language anytime she's ready.

1:02:56.720 --> 1:03:00.600
