Speaker 1: It ain't no stopping and wants to be tryd by.
Speaker 1: And then the system is so corrupt they throw the
Speaker 1: rock out of their heads and then blame it on us.

Speaker 1: In the studio, I guessed I I least Sad is
Speaker 1: in the building. What's up? I leave man? I'm all
Speaker 1: good well it? What's good? Brother man? This is my
Speaker 1: dog family. Want to let you'all know straight out the
Speaker 1: gate man. You got a name, Just start with the
Speaker 1: name what's in the name, I leased a dick. You
Speaker 1: got one of those type righteous spiritual names. You know.
Speaker 1: Now you're a black man in America, How did that
Speaker 1: name come to be? Um? You know, people name me.
Speaker 1: You know your mom actually named you as your mom
Speaker 1: and dad. Damned it, your dad, I hate you because
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, people get to go
Speaker 1: to get that black just not even just goes and
Speaker 1: people change that. I think people forget. It was a
Speaker 1: whole wave in the sixty and seven and black men
Speaker 1: was changing their name because they ain't want to be
Speaker 1: connected to the system and saying so because it was
Speaker 1: these are names that was given to us anyway. So
Speaker 1: sometimes your last name, you know, it's it's connected to
Speaker 1: whoever owned your people, and your first name was you
Speaker 1: know who was? If we come from not if we
Speaker 1: come from a continent that indigenous don't even speak English.
Speaker 1: I wanna speak English. So why we named Jane, Paul
Speaker 1: and Mike and Joe and all these Canaus and all
Speaker 1: these names that you know didn't come from the place
Speaker 1: that we came from. You know what I'm saying, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's white folks, um colonizers business. So people change
Speaker 1: their name sixties and seventies. Man, um what my grandfather
Speaker 1: I don't know what my grandfather um name was when
Speaker 1: he came over here, but then he decided he's gonna
Speaker 1: be Bill at one time, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it was Chakwan. I'm like, I'm like the same
Speaker 1: Mr Bill, Like, yeah, hey man, you gotta ditch it, y'all.
Speaker 1: Now every everything house, like Franken said, murder but through
Speaker 1: that used to that lockerfel alone that stayed since. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, that's how our life go about having the name,
Speaker 1: like having that Muslim name and being connected to the
Speaker 1: mother Land. I mean, does it give you a certain
Speaker 1: sense of like pride that you don't see in some
Speaker 1: other people that you know that has it was colonized
Speaker 1: names like myself, because you know that's the people are
Speaker 1: who they are. You know. It's like and especially in
Speaker 1: this society. I used to think that your name would
Speaker 1: be just would change who you were it. But it's
Speaker 1: about if you don't change the character how you like.
Speaker 1: I always said I've never met a good Willing. Ever
Speaker 1: then I met you, but I never. But prior to that,
Speaker 1: every Willing I knew was slicked in the can and
Speaker 1: and nobody ever referred to him as a good personal
Speaker 1: Willing saying, then then I mean to you, I'm like
Speaker 1: man Willy, you know, because you are always been, you know,
Speaker 1: one hunted. You know, even when you're in your involvement,
Speaker 1: when you when you this is the thing about understand
Speaker 1: the person and the name that's connected to it. So
Speaker 1: somebody say Willie, now to me, the first thing I
Speaker 1: put a d on in will it d And then
Speaker 1: if you got to till me, that's not who you're
Speaker 1: talking about. If I were talking about some shady business
Speaker 1: and they said, Willie, you're talking about black Willy, dirty
Speaker 1: as from Brown Forest, saying, so it depends on the
Speaker 1: context of what somebody is talking about. You know, how
Speaker 1: you think of this person? You know, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know any Kims that wasn't sophisticated
Speaker 1: and grown it and like in high school she was
Speaker 1: she was she was too grown from middle school and
Speaker 1: in high school she was way too sophisticated for us.
Speaker 1: You never even talked to him. I never met a
Speaker 1: Kim that was like a ratchet Kim because all I
Speaker 1: connected with the Kims that I knew every king was bad.
Speaker 1: Like I never met a chick that was named Ogre
Speaker 1: that wasn't find all I do because she had to
Speaker 1: be because the name Ogre is a the Trent. Then
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not over fine. I know one, I
Speaker 1: know two black chick's name over and they probably still
Speaker 1: find to this day because they was ain'ty fine in
Speaker 1: middle school? Man, when you when you in middle school
Speaker 1: and you got helps already, because you know, ain'ty fine.
Speaker 1: Every ain'ty got helps it. I don't really know a
Speaker 1: lot of amimers didn't got here because she's not really
Speaker 1: that because she got your cousin. She already got kids.
Speaker 1: Because you like, boy, ain't and you'll see somebody else
Speaker 1: ain't and you're like, how you know because you're fine.
Speaker 1: Nobody you look at your mom like that. Nobody even
Speaker 1: look at your mom like that with your ain't I
Speaker 1: ain't find it. So that's a Southern thing though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I men walk us through what life is like in
Speaker 1: the Sadik household. You growing up in Houston. So the
Speaker 1: thing is periods of life was in Houston because you know,
Speaker 1: my my mom was a g so when she came here,
Speaker 1: my dad brought out here from California with what she
Speaker 1: already had us when she came here. So and how
Speaker 1: old are you? Um? Two three? And they break up
Speaker 1: when they get here because my daddy was, wow, I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie. He always say you because he used
Speaker 1: to run into Counic homes with this cad name LC
Speaker 1: mohammedan Oh and this fish King. That's why I always
Speaker 1: loved fish King. That's why I used going with my daddy.
Speaker 1: So my mom Moyen, she was, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: come up, got kids, no education really, so she went
Speaker 1: back to school and she couldn't take care of so
Speaker 1: she sent us, being responsible, she sent us today with
Speaker 1: our sisters. So we're in Mississippi for two years, then
Speaker 1: we and Chicago for two years. Then you know, we're
Speaker 1: just moving around. Then you back in l A. You know,
Speaker 1: we're living with your uncle. So you got what. My
Speaker 1: MoMA had ten siblings, so my uncle, then my uncle
Speaker 1: at back the end was my aunt you and this
Speaker 1: and my aunt Angela and my uncle Donald lived in Mississippi.
Speaker 1: On Angela moved to Chicago, so I left with her
Speaker 1: and went to Chicago. Then we went back to l A.
Speaker 1: After I left from Chicago, then we came, then we
Speaker 1: came here. Me and my sister always traveled together. So
Speaker 1: my mom was very responsible on how you don't leave
Speaker 1: your kids or anybody leave your kids with your family,
Speaker 1: and you know, she took she she would come visit
Speaker 1: and send us money and then she got on her
Speaker 1: feet and boom, we're here. She brought us head. Then
Speaker 1: she had my little sister. When we got back, you know,
Speaker 1: she had with um, we're ron which is my stepdad.
Speaker 1: Stay together. Now, Still, did that instability play a role
Speaker 1: in your becoming a man as far as like not
Speaker 1: having that structure, Like I know that when I I
Speaker 1: grew up, we themn that lived in a new house
Speaker 1: every day. Even though we lived in Houston the whole
Speaker 1: time we lived in a I'm not every day, but
Speaker 1: every year we moved like every single year. So when
Speaker 1: I became an adult, it wasn't hard for me to
Speaker 1: just get up and move to another apartment or house
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, do you find yourself like in
Speaker 1: the same position. Nah, it was because I didn't see
Speaker 1: that as not being stable. I saw that as that
Speaker 1: was normal to you. That's traveling as a family, that's
Speaker 1: like you with your family. I'm not with strangers. You know,
Speaker 1: if I was like it was like from pillar to post,
Speaker 1: I would you know it would be different. But when
Speaker 1: we I'm with my grandmother and missive when it first
Speaker 1: started out, then my aunts and everybody take care taking
Speaker 1: care of so it's like a family unit. We moved.
Speaker 1: The only time I felt like out of order is
Speaker 1: when we got up and went to Chicago. It's because
Speaker 1: it's just me, my aunt, my cousin Ricky, my little
Speaker 1: cousin Marvin. There's it. We're not in You're not in
Speaker 1: Chicago with family. So California is the easiest move where
Speaker 1: you got my uncle ed with Charles. You got my
Speaker 1: uncle Moran, you got my uncle Bolton, got his family,
Speaker 1: got my uncle David, and then you've got my uncle Lamont.
Speaker 1: You know, so you got and you got the major
Speaker 1: of our family, which is my aunt Willow. She's still
Speaker 1: alive now, she's a hundred and eight, still in Compton.
Speaker 1: Her house, you know is a is a is the
Speaker 1: staple of our family. So living with your family is
Speaker 1: not unstable. But if I was living with strangers or
Speaker 1: in and out of group homes, I would definitely feel
Speaker 1: like I wasn't stay because everybody This is the key
Speaker 1: dynamics to a testability. In my mind, my mother's rule
Speaker 1: were no different than my grandmother's rules and my aunt's rules,
Speaker 1: my uncle's rules. It's the same. It's the same. I'm
Speaker 1: getting the same spell and changeable what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I'm not the The instability came when I made it,
Speaker 1: when I was asking, I made a decision. Which is
Speaker 1: which is the walk through my new special the domino effect.
Speaker 1: It's when I live with my dad. I'm in Houston.
Speaker 1: I'm living with him, and this is not no stable environment.
Speaker 1: And even though he got money, we're living a We
Speaker 1: live in a good place, but I live in some
Speaker 1: All adults live in some. All of those condominiums your
Speaker 1: children an't supposed to be over on the weekend. I'm here,
Speaker 1: this is where I live at. How many siblings did
Speaker 1: you have? But with my dad only me and my sister,
Speaker 1: but Mama, my little sister, and how but who you
Speaker 1: spent the most time with growing up? And my older sister?
Speaker 1: And how how many years? Just too like that's that's
Speaker 1: my second mama, Like that's who. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: about stability. My mama's rules was how you take care
Speaker 1: of your little brother while I'm in I while I'm
Speaker 1: going got two jobs, I go to school. I need
Speaker 1: my My sister's been cooking full course meals. She was

Speaker 1: what to put the oven on and everything. We we
Speaker 1: we um key around last key kids. We got key
Speaker 1: in our pocket and our shoe. We come and gotta

Speaker 1: to take care of me while my mom was around.

Speaker 1: and the staff that you have become some sort of
Speaker 1: nuisance around this campus. And like I have told you
Speaker 1: several times, brother, black men have to have some sort
Speaker 1: of honor and discipline. What I'm saying, So therefore it's
Speaker 1: gonna this is going to be a pleasure for me, brother,
Speaker 1: to invite the discipline into your life, so you can
Speaker 1: give First of all, I'm mad that I'm down here
Speaker 1: and you ain't turned your science working. Now you're gonna
Speaker 1: make this about you, hey, brother saying he'd tell your
Speaker 1: ass up in it office. Were you there when that
Speaker 1: black principle? When the black principle was there? Oh new, yeah,
Speaker 1: that black principle. When by the time my brother got there,
Speaker 1: my brother, my younger brother, he's like he's younger than us,
Speaker 1: of course, but he years younger. But he um, he
Speaker 1: went that man and it was a white kid. Used
Speaker 1: to bother him all the time, and I just try
Speaker 1: to tell him to try to control his temper. And
Speaker 1: so this is the white kid one day tripped him.
Speaker 1: I keep in mind my little brother fifth war for real,
Speaker 1: like attitude, everything come with it. So this little dude
Speaker 1: trip him, and my little brother get dead on his ad,
Speaker 1: you know, break him down. So the little dude dad,
Speaker 1: it was a sheriff. So the little dude used to
Speaker 1: he's the dude was a bully and he used to
Speaker 1: just push people around and you know, and intimidate people
Speaker 1: because his dad would show up in his police uniform
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So my brother told him, I
Speaker 1: ain't scared of your daddy. You know, my brother will
Speaker 1: it d with the fifth boyd posset have your daddy killed.
Speaker 1: So I didn't know. I don't know this has happened.
Speaker 1: All this conversation is happening, right, So I go to
Speaker 1: the office, you know, after they have a fight and
Speaker 1: they kick him out. I go to the office and
Speaker 1: and the principals the black he's like, and the guy
Speaker 1: the kid is in the room and he's my brother
Speaker 1: is there, and it's and the guy's dad is that
Speaker 1: with the big old tim gallant hat on that he's
Speaker 1: sitting now, that's well, he's just sitting and he's like
Speaker 1: looking at a story, right, And uh actually he was
Speaker 1: trying to look menacing, right. So I was like the
Speaker 1: preacher the past, the preacher the past to the principle.
Speaker 1: The principle goes, so what is uh what was Isaac
Speaker 1: saying about you being a part of the fifth ward posse?
Speaker 1: And uh you know, having uh Mr such such such
Speaker 1: kill you can get Mr Such. I said, Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I don't know. What are you talking about? He said, Well,
Speaker 1: he said, and then that's the cops speaks up. He said,
Speaker 1: he said, you had guns. I said, let me explain
Speaker 1: something to you. Yes, we have guns. I got guns
Speaker 1: in the house. But those guns for our protection. You know,
Speaker 1: we are lawed Biden citizens, you know. And I say
Speaker 1: the guns are for our protection. I did teach him
Speaker 1: how to use the gun. He knows how to protect
Speaker 1: himself if it comes down to that. And I say,
Speaker 1: we are lawed biding. The citizens at city said, I
Speaker 1: don't know nothing about no Fifth War posse and having
Speaker 1: people killed and none. I wrap that's what I do.
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. And I have stewardship over this young
Speaker 1: man right here, and I'm here to help him, you know,
Speaker 1: God have guide him through life and deal with his
Speaker 1: you know, educational program. I'm talking to all that ship
Speaker 1: right stock. So anyway, that was that, But that was
Speaker 1: the situation that Paul Revere, my brother, just would not conform.
Speaker 1: He was just like fifth Ward, fifth Ward, fifth Ward.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get it out of him. I'm but that's
Speaker 1: his name. When you go to certain places, people think
Speaker 1: that you can get certain things about you and it's
Speaker 1: really not like like that, like I remember, and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm when I think about par Reville, I think about
Speaker 1: something that happened to me at part of it, and
Speaker 1: and I have to go back and think, have I
Speaker 1: always been like this? So these dudes, I get into
Speaker 1: altercations from high school cats that party behind a girl.
Speaker 1: So the dude give me and keeping and he on
Speaker 1: a fight behind this girl that from his neighborhood and
Speaker 1: go to part by. He come up there, you know
Speaker 1: while I want me, I'm dating the girl. The girl
Speaker 1: ain't Danny Um and he says something slick man, and
Speaker 1: I don't. I think people under estimate I've never been scared,
Speaker 1: like I remember being scared one fucking time, man, And

Speaker 1: then if I got if this is gonna be good enough,
Speaker 1: I get opportunity to show again, then I showed the
Speaker 1: advancement of how this place turns you from being basically

Speaker 1: not a violent person to actually turned turning shifting gears
Speaker 1: where like you are a very very aggressive personnel, and
Speaker 1: you you you're trying to be you have become menacine,
Speaker 1: not just afform of upon them, Like now you're to
Speaker 1: the point where you're gonna kill our CEO. And people
Speaker 1: understand the mindset. I'm at the mindset. Well, it's two
Speaker 1: ways that I go. I go with I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: in different and we get into it cool, and but
Speaker 1: I really don't want to Two I'm plotting something. I'm
Speaker 1: plotting something and I don't have consequences. And now I
Speaker 1: don't think people understand this story about Mitchell. I don't
Speaker 1: have any consequences. I'm going to kill his officer and
Speaker 1: I'm going back to my sale. I'm not leaving the unit.
Speaker 1: I don't have nowhere to run. I'm going to killer's offer.

Speaker 1: I already be packed up, ready to go. I don't
Speaker 1: this the whole You're not getting out of prison again
Speaker 1: because you just killed some mine. Okay, you understand there's
Speaker 1: no consequence because now you have switched a button to

Speaker 1: used to try to control me with. We'll cut the
Speaker 1: t v O, cut the motherfucker off, We'll put you
Speaker 1: in the hole. What okay, which one? I've already done
Speaker 1: this so I'm not I'm not bound to none of
Speaker 1: these rules. And that's what you want. You're not getting
Speaker 1: when you trying, when you're trying to break me in
Speaker 1: this system. Now, what you're doing is making me stronger
Speaker 1: because what I'm doing is mobilizing black people. Contell He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: sneaky right here. It was no black owned black violence
Speaker 1: on no unit that he was on the whole time
Speaker 1: he was there, this mine chip that this thing you

Speaker 1: years put to me doing that that story. So I'm
Speaker 1: on def jam I already, I'm on comic View, I'm
Speaker 1: on a bunch of ships already. Then this this opportunity
Speaker 1: to show the difference between me and everybody else, because
Speaker 1: it took me a while to get to the point
Speaker 1: of being able to tell a story. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: like everybody else. I'm like just befoony ship, you know,
Speaker 1: and in ship that I'm trying to think be relevant
Speaker 1: for the hood, not trying to get a hood. No food,
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And that's when the storytelling came in. Great
Speaker 1: about all times with this comedy ship is Bill Cosby
Speaker 1: Hands down, and I'm saying, regardless of what he did,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, you know, allegedly like I'll say that
Speaker 1: all of that ship. But when it comes to the
Speaker 1: artistry of what stand up is the colder you ever
Speaker 1: be when you make when you sitting down and you're
Speaker 1: doing it from the seat, You're doing it from the chair,
Speaker 1: just killing from That's why I said, I and I
Speaker 1: sat on TV this ship real with me. So when
Speaker 1: I got into the storytelling being uh what I call
Speaker 1: a grio, which comes from my heritage being African answers
Speaker 1: to sit around and to keep heritage going. They would
Speaker 1: tell very detailed stories to keep the heritage going. It
Speaker 1: was called grio's. So when I shifted into that when
Speaker 1: I was on the road with Deal Hugley, the transition
Speaker 1: of me sitting down in front of that audience telling stories.
Speaker 1: So the first time I ever did Mexican on Boots
Speaker 1: was actually on that show because it was I was
Speaker 1: just in the groove of telling it because that's that
Speaker 1: was my lane and it's and I didn't understand probably
Speaker 1: just like when you when y'all made mind playing tricks on,
Speaker 1: did you think it was gonna do that off? The rip.
Speaker 1: You thought it was just gonna be a good song.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good story, and then y'all
Speaker 1: wanted me to tell our true stories. I just told
Speaker 1: a true story, the way that I tell my friends stories.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that it was gonna be like that,
Speaker 1: and I knew it was like that when this white
Speaker 1: dude named Bert cry said, who has a story called
Speaker 1: the Machine, which they think is the greatest story ever
Speaker 1: told about him being a Russian mobster, and in this
Speaker 1: Russian dude called him the Machine, fucking fantastic story. He
Speaker 1: comes to me and says, people think that the Machine
Speaker 1: is good, and then they hear Mexican on boots and
Speaker 1: understand that my story is okay. I even tell people
Speaker 1: the best story I've ever heard told is not the Machine.
Speaker 1: It's Mexican boots. To the point that we don't even
Speaker 1: call it ship what it's called, it's called the prison Riot.
Speaker 1: We just call it Mexican coud on boots. He interviewed
Speaker 1: me about it. He said, you don't even know how
Speaker 1: great this is. Like this is, this is white comics.
Speaker 1: Look at this story and be like, I wish I
Speaker 1: could ever even get closer to ship and I was like,
Speaker 1: what he's like. I said, man, that's just me being black,
Speaker 1: and I mean not even me being black. This is
Speaker 1: me telling the story. So speed up to some things.
Speaker 1: I won't throw this out there before we get too lost.
Speaker 1: I know. I got this interview, people saying you and
Speaker 1: a lot of your comments. I started. I started reading
Speaker 1: them because my friend James hit me and said, man,
Speaker 1: read some of these comments. I read them. I'm not
Speaker 1: moved by into my cat. Ali can't hold us a
Speaker 1: candle to cat in comedy in comedy, and I'm and
Speaker 1: I'm trying this in the Mixed on Boots And he
Speaker 1: said this, everybody said it, but did not mention a
Speaker 1: cat joke? Did they even know? Everybody who is on
Speaker 1: your side? And people who didn't all mentioned mixing got
Speaker 1: on boots. So if you're not mentioning, you're saying this
Speaker 1: was better than him, but you're not mentioning ship that
Speaker 1: he did. But everybody who knows him is mentioning a joke.
Speaker 1: It's like saying, oh, this rap over here, the greatest
Speaker 1: rapper of all time. He's better than willar D but
Speaker 1: Yett And still I keep saying, what song? What song?
Speaker 1: He got? Better than the ball head holes? What song
Speaker 1: he got better than my pleasure with it? And he
Speaker 1: got put in his songs, but you you ain't named
Speaker 1: a song yet, but but but he just better still
Speaker 1: name a song. And I thought about it. People judge
Speaker 1: it on who better on popularity, but Ken has been
Speaker 1: popular for a long time. I think that Cat is,
Speaker 1: like uh, Card is revered to people like Cat is
Speaker 1: one of those type of dudes that that people like
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what It don't matter what do you do,
Speaker 1: It don't matter what he's going through whatever. It's like
Speaker 1: people like Cat Williams. So when you call that Cat Williams,
Speaker 1: you know it's people's yeah, and and and and that.
Speaker 1: And that goes to like people ask people really really
Speaker 1: funk with Cat real hard for so for anybody, it's
Speaker 1: like somebody calling our scarface, people fuck with Brad Hard.
Speaker 1: I mean, it ain't nothing Brad can do but that
Speaker 1: that it ain't nothing that Brad could do that could
Speaker 1: turn people against them. I mean, what what did Cat
Speaker 1: do the athlete? What did he do to you? Man?
Speaker 1: So let's go to the store to me speeded up Streeport.
Speaker 1: We're in Sport. The song out is um every day
Speaker 1: I'm hustling. Who made that song? Everything? Rick Rock? What
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so what year is that? Whatever? That ship
Speaker 1: is okay, So every day I'm hustling. Was some anthem
Speaker 1: that he was coming out to, like everybody come out
Speaker 1: to a song. And I want people to understand, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying Cats not talented. I'm not saying I don't
Speaker 1: even like that. I don't like Cat. I always was
Speaker 1: fan of this, this little man. This is what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about when he was catting the hat. Because people
Speaker 1: people act like they like he'd been Most people got
Speaker 1: on this on the band wagon after Friday after Next
Speaker 1: because before that they can't remember goddamn thing before Friday
Speaker 1: at the Next because they didn't know him when he
Speaker 1: was catting the hat. They didn't know when he didn't
Speaker 1: have no teeth and ship, they didn't know. They wasn't
Speaker 1: watching him. Then I was a fan with Nigga's wearing
Speaker 1: a top hat and had a cane and he's in
Speaker 1: his name was Cat in the hat. It wasn't Cat
Speaker 1: Williams ship. So Friday at the Next, the pimp ship happens. Cool,
Speaker 1: always been, always been cool. I'm back when I booked

Speaker 1: some putting nick out the building, pay this nick over
Speaker 1: the show the type ship. I'm like, all right, it's
Speaker 1: two ways I can handle this. I could be an
Speaker 1: ignorant nigga and just be law running in the streets.
Speaker 1: Then do it in the streets. But then the nigga
Speaker 1: opened itself up and he said this celebrited boxing thing,
Speaker 1: Ni I started it, and um, they niggas looked at
Speaker 1: me like I was God. I said, you started now first?
Speaker 1: People I saw always will it then mel and Mayo
Speaker 1: and then get the way before you nigga, you wasn't
Speaker 1: around at the time, and I said, oh, ship, maybe
Speaker 1: I can get this ship settled, this nigga in this
Speaker 1: ring for a bag because he'd be talking to this boxing.
Speaker 1: Just so since you started, let's make it full circle.
Speaker 1: You haven't had about so if that was your dream,
Speaker 1: usually want to start the celebrity boxing you wanted to
Speaker 1: do in the beginning. So you now you have a challenger.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm all I'm saying is let's make the
Speaker 1: challenge have this personal underlying problem with you is gonna
Speaker 1: is feeling the fire for me to want to get
Speaker 1: in the ring with you and damage your face and
Speaker 1: do something bad to your body. That's one thing. But
Speaker 1: as a as a talent, oh you you're an excellent talent.
Speaker 1: But that don't make it. That don't make you a
Speaker 1: cool ass person though, So let me get in the
Speaker 1: ring with you. Sell of my difference with you with
Speaker 1: for a bag or whatever. Because you started it, that's
Speaker 1: just it opened it up when you said that you
Speaker 1: started celebrity boxing. You ain't got no problem with doing it,
Speaker 1: So let's do it. You got a challenger. You ain't
Speaker 1: got to wait and and hope for somebody to challenge you.
Speaker 1: Or oh, maybe Kevin Hart may want to do it
Speaker 1: one day, or maybe I do with Steve Harvey. No,
Speaker 1: it's somebody right now that's willing, that god, that that
Speaker 1: want to ask you about something civilized. Because I ask
Speaker 1: you in the ring like how Abali asked that man
Speaker 1: what's his name? And I keep asking thing what I do? That,
Speaker 1: what I do? I'll be dis asked with what I
Speaker 1: do for four rounds. Man, I don't think just gonna
Speaker 1: let you motherfucker swing on him? And Ship, did you
Speaker 1: do nothing? You know? Remember that how people was under
Speaker 1: estimate you? Now, yeah, that's what I'm saying. People don't
Speaker 1: got to let you do nothing. I remember one time
Speaker 1: when this dude told me he was gonna slap me.
Speaker 1: I said, Ship, I ain't saying you won't. I just
Speaker 1: know what you wanta do. Twice I cannot tell you
Speaker 1: won't slap me. But I know one thing you your
Speaker 1: slapper's gonna be broke nigga after you slap me, because
Speaker 1: I could be sitting sitting there, nigga not not. What's
Speaker 1: the response. The response is me doing this. Hey, ma man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a chance to run, nigger, because
Speaker 1: I like to hunt my prey. I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: a chance to run. I'm gonna get you a chance
Speaker 1: to run, to make these to make these ghetto games fun.
Speaker 1: Because if you slap me, you better be already running.
Speaker 1: You better be called Lewis already running. You know. I
Speaker 1: like you and Catman, and I wish that y'all could
Speaker 1: resolve your differences. But I ain't gonna lie. I would
Speaker 1: pay to see y'all fight. I would definitely pay to
Speaker 1: see that fight. I like fights, and I know I
Speaker 1: like to fight, and I like to see fights. I
Speaker 1: don't fight often because I know conflict is costly, but
Speaker 1: I but once engaged, I do enjoy it. But but
Speaker 1: I also enjoy watching people who like to fight each other.
Speaker 1: I don't want to fight see a fight bully if
Speaker 1: I don't like to see bullies fight, and I don't
Speaker 1: like We'll put it like this. I don't like somebody
Speaker 1: that's bullying somebody who's refuses to fight back. But I
Speaker 1: do like to see a bully get his ass whooped.
Speaker 1: And I like to see people who want to fight
Speaker 1: each other. Fight, and I want him to want to fight.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the only one in the
Speaker 1: ring I want to fight. I really don't because it
Speaker 1: doesn't make for a good I like, I like a war.
Speaker 1: I've never once again, I've never started to fight, but
Speaker 1: I've never fought anybody who once you started with me,
Speaker 1: now I want to fight. I'm I'm I'm I'm good
Speaker 1: with engaging in the war. And I like that you
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna win because you don't understand what
Speaker 1: I'm the the level that I'm gonna go to. Like
Speaker 1: right now, it's people saying, well, cat got them hands
Speaker 1: from cool. I I'll just say, hey, the way that
Speaker 1: I trained, the way that I trained every day, I'm
Speaker 1: ready for whatever, four round, four round fight it. Man.
Speaker 1: I just I just know what I'm what I'm like
Speaker 1: right now. You know most of the time when you're
Speaker 1: out that I see you, you're normally reserved. You're very
Speaker 1: relaxed type dude. But I saw you on a viral
Speaker 1: another viral video of you add a gas station, a
Speaker 1: convenience story something, and this white lady was begging for
Speaker 1: money from you and called you the N word. How
Speaker 1: did you maintain your composure and not like totally like
Speaker 1: lose it, because the thing is, I'm not feeling to
Speaker 1: fight with somebody who don't got no residence, they got
Speaker 1: no place to stay there, Like, so do you have
Speaker 1: I said, I don't have a fucking nigger, ma'am. I
Speaker 1: don't have changed at this point, man, I don't have
Speaker 1: anything for you. Now. I would have searched for something,
Speaker 1: but when you initially asked me, I didn't have anything.
Speaker 1: I went to my girl partment normally searched for some
Speaker 1: loose change, but with the nigger, I'm like, ma'am, do
Speaker 1: you think that? Do you think that anything you're gonna
Speaker 1: say its gonna even move me? Ma'am, I have a residence.
Speaker 1: You you man, you sleeping on the ground. I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna waste my time. But what I am gonna
Speaker 1: do is this this video because anybody else come by here,
Speaker 1: don't get this woman ship, because let us pay the
Speaker 1: calls for her ignorance, because whatever life life is given
Speaker 1: her that anyway, because the people say, well that's wrong.
Speaker 1: Why I used to be sucking homes. I used to
Speaker 1: be the same person she was. Oh, but you didn't
Speaker 1: know that, so you can talk about well, well you
Speaker 1: think you can do this, man, I already been a
Speaker 1: fighter the same I didn't start. I just started boxing,
Speaker 1: and I started at P A B A with the
Speaker 1: rev like I just I didn't start today. I didn't
Speaker 1: have to go in it and Money had to say
Speaker 1: which which you're gonna be a software traditional man? I
Speaker 1: know what I am. I'm ambidextious with my hands. I
Speaker 1: can go either way. So it's it's it's whatever people think.
Speaker 1: Like I saw a comment cloud chasing I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: that was different cloud, and I would say, that's people
Speaker 1: who don't know me. You can't. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: when before the second season of the Day Chappelle Show,
Speaker 1: mass majority of black people had no idea who Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle was. We're talking about six HBO specials. We're talking
Speaker 1: about four or five movies at that time. At that time,
Speaker 1: I'm telling about already being on Deaf Jam and all
Speaker 1: this ship and they dismissing because he was in the
Speaker 1: lane where they considered ain't stream white. And then he did,
Speaker 1: he did the story I'm Rick James bitch, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, black people gravitate towards him and then
Speaker 1: black people gravitated towards him, and then as adaty to
Speaker 1: say something when he stopped the show about he's stupid
Speaker 1: turned down all that money. When I talked to him,
Speaker 1: he said that was the one thing that fucking irritated him.
Speaker 1: When we talked to the communy story, he gave me
Speaker 1: saloms we're talking, He said, Man, what irritated me that
Speaker 1: black people had something to say about my goddamn career?
Speaker 1: When you just started jumping on the bandwag with me,
Speaker 1: I thought, I did. I'm Rick James bitch some nigger
Speaker 1: ship that you liked, which is cool, but I already
Speaker 1: got fucking fifty million dollars. I don't have to accept
Speaker 1: the fifty million dollars to say I don't want to
Speaker 1: do something. I feel like this is contrary, that's damaging
Speaker 1: black people. Now that I'm looking at the ship, I
Speaker 1: got fifty million. But you don't know that because you're
Speaker 1: a new fan. And then you would say what what
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be doing? You don't know me anybody with
Speaker 1: That's what first came to my mind. Oh, he cloud chasing.
Speaker 1: He needs some money from Cat. I don't need it
Speaker 1: from Cat. I don't need it, they I do it
Speaker 1: for free. I don't even need I don't need to back.
Speaker 1: I just need the event. I don't need to back.
Speaker 1: I need the event because if you don't know who
Speaker 1: I am, shame on you, that ninku. I ain't got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with me. So you're gonna announce everybody
Speaker 1: that you ain't got cable nigger. That's cool, that's oh man.
Speaker 1: We just shot one in Houston called The Domino Effect.
Speaker 1: We're doing the color in the editing right now. We're
Speaker 1: announced that getting ready to drop. And then I just
Speaker 1: got signed for one in October for a whole other network.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna drop two in the same year, and
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna drop three albums in the same year.
Speaker 1: And by the way, for all those people think I'm
Speaker 1: cloud chasing, I'm already gramming Grammy nominated comedian with a
Speaker 1: with a comedy album already. Like people be thinking that
Speaker 1: they know, it's just like you're not in that lane
Speaker 1: when you ask your question, I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 1: You fly. You've flown a lot, right, Have you always
Speaker 1: went through security when you flew? No? Have you gotten

Speaker 1: Delta has a lounge. Southwest does not have a lounge,
Speaker 1: but other airlines have a lounge. But then American Express
Speaker 1: has their own lounge, the Priority lounge. That's why I
