Speaker 1: I know that may sound crazy, but he appreciates going
Speaker 1: down to the creek. He appreciates skipping rocks and stuff.
Speaker 1: He got some friends out there, and he just loves
Speaker 1: the nature. I feel in love with nature during the
Speaker 1: pandemic and couldn't leave. Danielle actually had a really amazing
Speaker 1: Danielle Land event. Yes, um and everybody bought their kids too,
Speaker 1: and their families and my friend Dahlia came with your
Speaker 1: daughter and her daughter had like the time of her life.
Speaker 1: She was like, I love it here. I never want
Speaker 1: to leave me. I got kids. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: reason why I don't invite you to anything. Hey, don't
Speaker 1: you don't know, I will say, and we will come
Speaker 1: to a common show. But the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened your attitude to change. I
Speaker 1: don't know once you once you started Beijing in your chin,
Speaker 1: you know, it comes just things just change and there's
Speaker 1: nothing to do. And then look, I don't even know
Speaker 1: he was a giant fan. Now you sold all you
Speaker 1: sold all your giant stuff. Last year you sold all
Speaker 1: your Giant stuff, your wackcast commanders. I was never a three,
Speaker 1: I mean, just a whack name. Yeah, But okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not arguing with you're on happening. I still think that
Speaker 1: this slightly racist because when you say commander is you
Speaker 1: ended with chiefs, so you still got the native side
Speaker 1: of it. But I'm excited that we won three games
Speaker 1: a row, by how many points, by how we did it,
Speaker 1: I don't care, but we did it. Okay, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about some of your comedy. So you've been
Speaker 1: on the road a lot, Yeah, are you still enjoying
Speaker 1: in love and common? I do love it. I will
Speaker 1: say this, I um, I feel like something's about to happen.
Speaker 1: It's the problem with no right, No, I just said
Speaker 1: he wants a real interact. Something's gonna happen, you know
Speaker 1: what he says, Hey, what about this? My nuts like, no,
Speaker 1: how do you expect me to give your trust issues?
Speaker 1: Trust issues? I have trusts trust, I have trust trust,
Speaker 1: I have trust issues with you. But back to your
Speaker 1: question to ask him and give a real INVI, No,
Speaker 1: do I still love comedy? And I do it. I've
Speaker 1: been doing it for thirty years, and I don't know
Speaker 1: of a lot of people can say that. I feel
Speaker 1: like after thirty years into a thirty year career, every year,
Speaker 1: I feel like I get better. You know, he has
Speaker 1: some people to get hot for a couple of years,
Speaker 1: didn't be like what happened, they fell off. But I
Speaker 1: feel like for thirty years, like every year I get better.
Speaker 1: And you also talking about somebody that each year he
Speaker 1: thinks he's at that point, but we'll find something to
Speaker 1: go to the next level. So I do feel like
Speaker 1: I get better every year and I enjoyed it. A
Speaker 1: career also has taken off yea as well. Congratulations for that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I've been lucky enough. Like I don't really
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time. He said, what are
Speaker 1: you like more? Acting? The winning time? Winning time? You
Speaker 1: asked me what do you like most? The acting or
Speaker 1: stand up comedy? Um, I'm in more controling my career
Speaker 1: with stand up, but acting is more more challenging. To him,
Speaker 1: it is, you know, like I could go in front
Speaker 1: of fifteen thousand people have no issue, but then once
Speaker 1: they say action and that camera come on, it's a
Speaker 1: whole different ball game. The difference between stand up you
Speaker 1: get immediate response, you know what's going to happen immediately.
Speaker 1: With actor, you don't know to the reviews come in
Speaker 1: to you see the dailies you think you might get.
Speaker 1: I was part of a team that wanted to ask
Speaker 1: her what the what was this? Soul? Just say, you
Speaker 1: got an Oscar down now too? I got an Oscar? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I didn't get an Oscar. I got Oscar ree,
Speaker 1: I got a piece of acte. Yeah you know how
Speaker 1: I would be like dudes, I was in the background
Speaker 1: and I still got it. But I was a part
Speaker 1: of that. But I wasn't acting for you because you
Speaker 1: know we're acting. Of course there's lines, there's other actors.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're an actor? Or you still
Speaker 1: doubting yourself and keep asking like how'd I do? I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't doubt myself, but I know that, um, that's
Speaker 1: something I always can grow. I feel like I always
Speaker 1: can get better, especially when I see some people work,
Speaker 1: I see some people get down. I'm like, damn, this
Speaker 1: dude is doing this for real, and for me it's
Speaker 1: just it's still fun for me. I don't take myself
Speaker 1: that serious. I think about probably got a little bit
Speaker 1: more training and focused on I could get more acting work,
Speaker 1: but I've made a name for myself and stand up
Speaker 1: so much. If I get an acting yea, it's just
Speaker 1: only a bonus on top of some other things that
Speaker 1: I do and being an actor as well. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: what you're playing, I can't tell you. I'm I'm in
Speaker 1: the series East New York. Okay, it's a Brooklyn Base's
Speaker 1: got to be. It's probably one of the biggest shows
Speaker 1: on CBS now. So it's a lead black woman who
Speaker 1: does her damn thing. But I was going to ask you,
Speaker 1: when do you consider yourself a legend in comedy, right.
Speaker 1: And the reason I ask that is because you you
Speaker 1: do comedy with so many legendary people. A lot of
Speaker 1: times people they compare you to the legends, whether it's
Speaker 1: Chris Rock, whether it's Dave Chappelle, whether whoever it may be.
Speaker 1: When I'm talking legends, you can see yourself a legend.
Speaker 1: Yet when it comes to comedy, no, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't connect to any words like that. I'm a humble
Speaker 1: person and I don't. I don't want to say that
Speaker 1: I legend. Yeah, I would be Crisipe, this a legend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the legendary term, you know, but you just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't associate with that. I don't associate with legend.
Speaker 1: I don't associate with goat. I don't associate with the greatest.
Speaker 1: I think once you get caught up in that, you
Speaker 1: start believing, and that's when things turn. You know. Now,
Speaker 1: if somebody else want to say that, that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But I'm never gonna say I'm a legend. Don't you
Speaker 1: know him? It's just it's just a set up. And
Speaker 1: then these are new words they found out, new ways
Speaker 1: envy to call you old. This was a new generation.
Speaker 1: They they don't. They don't call you oldhead. They call
Speaker 1: you legend, they call you goat. You know you old
Speaker 1: when they call you unc what's up? UN's up? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? Og? So yeah, they call me
Speaker 1: they look at my beard, and I'm not. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even die my you've never died it. I
Speaker 1: died it once. I didn't feel comfortable. I feel like
Speaker 1: I was tricking people like R Kelly. I felt in
Speaker 1: a way, Oh my God, presented to be something that
Speaker 1: I really was. That's what I'm saying. Allegedly, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just I mean, if you gonna hire me for a
Speaker 1: job for that whatever, but I don't see it. And
Speaker 1: I went through that stage. You're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm getting older. I think you're saying you really want
Speaker 1: to do this, but I'm saying, take you. Why you
Speaker 1: take your head off? Hut? Well you guys, you spray
Speaker 1: paint your joint, side your hair, go for dark skin
Speaker 1: of light skinning twenty four hours. Good, you spray your joint.
Speaker 1: I guaranteed look at his hairline. Now, the next time
Speaker 1: you get a haircut, your joint is gonna be shocked. Haircut.
Speaker 1: Does it makes no no, No, you're gonna get that fiber.
Speaker 1: I know you're doing that. You're gonna consiber the fibers.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the fiber. You're gonna do
Speaker 1: the five to you back being a legend though I
Speaker 1: don't consider myself alleged. I don't consider myself any of that.
Speaker 1: But the person loves what they do and continue to
Speaker 1: get better doing it, and you take great on that
Speaker 1: snoop um the compilation that he had killed that the
Speaker 1: snoop jaw. It's so crazy because I was slotted to
Speaker 1: do at which I did, uh Netflix special with Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 1: That's it's a long story with that. I did it,
Speaker 1: but then like a couple of weeks before were supposed
Speaker 1: to air it, we had to air date and everything.
Speaker 1: He called me. He was like, um, I want to
Speaker 1: go again. And I didn't get upset, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to understand how did we go from us doing Chess
Speaker 1: Bumps high five standing ovation too? You want to shoot
Speaker 1: it again? And I was ready for the constructive criticism.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, I knew it
Speaker 1: was funny and it was like Daniel I could put
Speaker 1: you in front of an audience and you could rip
Speaker 1: all day every day, he said, but that doesn't make
Speaker 1: it a great special And one of the things he
Speaker 1: pointed out, and you you came out one of the
Speaker 1: things that it was it was very strenuous protocol um
Speaker 1: uh COVID protocol masks right. So when my audience was
Speaker 1: supposed to be a full audience, it went from a
Speaker 1: court of that audience. So that was one to strike
Speaker 1: against it. The production of it, it just wasn't like
Speaker 1: the right It wasn't the right mix. So the back
Speaker 1: that you know, because I mean it was playned like
Speaker 1: you was ready for this shot? Now like again do
Speaker 1: you have that same energy? Do you do different jokes?
Speaker 1: Who were like how do you change it up? Or
Speaker 1: I did it again? Already did it again. But the
Speaker 1: feeling was I could have been petty and saying screw
Speaker 1: that whatever, But it also realized that M Dave got
Speaker 1: me a check, the biggest check I ever seen in
Speaker 1: my career at one shot. How much was it? I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that, but it was, it was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was it was nice. Yeah I'm asking
Speaker 1: you that. Let me tell you. Now you see the
Speaker 1: suit you go out with Donelle forty people. Danielle got
Speaker 1: the bell, he got the check, but I figured out
Speaker 1: the way to write it off with taxes for a thing.
Speaker 1: That's why we hang. But that's just a just a
Speaker 1: just a uh back to what you were talking about
Speaker 1: the show when you doing an old and yeah, I
Speaker 1: could have winned. There was a lot of things I
Speaker 1: could have done. I could have been mad saying screw
Speaker 1: that whatever, But I knew the check it clear right,
Speaker 1: but also knew that the God is giving me this
Speaker 1: advice and this criticism. Is a guy that got like
Speaker 1: seven or eight specials under his belt, and he knows
Speaker 1: what he's talking about, you know. So I looked at
Speaker 1: it like I had an opportun I need to do
Speaker 1: at that time. I'll revamp the set and I'll do
Speaker 1: it again. And when I think about if you if
Speaker 1: you see me do my stand up. The jokes, even
Speaker 1: though I may do some jokes whatever, they're always growing.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'll just stay on track to
Speaker 1: of what I do and then when we're ready to
Speaker 1: do it again, it'll pop. We'll motivates Donnelle Rollins, Well,
Speaker 1: there's different things to motivate me now, it's the comedy.
Speaker 1: I should say. Austin motivates me on a different in
Speaker 1: a different, different level. But what motivates me is I
Speaker 1: just want to be great. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: I just want to be good, and I do mentor
Speaker 1: a lot of young comments coming up right, and they
Speaker 1: always ask these questions like so I need an agent,
Speaker 1: I need this. They always talk about what they need
Speaker 1: and I was like, what you need to do is
Speaker 1: every time you go on stage, rip, That's going to
Speaker 1: answer all your questions. When you're good at what you do,
Speaker 1: people gonna find you. You don't have to ask for
Speaker 1: favors or anything. That A very popular UM manager back
Speaker 1: in the day, Barry Catch he still has. He had
Speaker 1: all the top talent in New York. And this is
Speaker 1: when I was making my transition from DC to New York,
Speaker 1: from the chiling circuit of black circuit to m more
Speaker 1: mainstream right, and I want to help by X Barry.
Speaker 1: I'll say, look, I'm funny. I know you you got
Speaker 1: all your your your clients in these clubs. Can you
Speaker 1: put a phone calling for me? He was like, Danielle,
Speaker 1: all you gotta do just rip, He said, if you
Speaker 1: rip everywhere you go, you won't be you can't be denied.
Speaker 1: And I tell young it's the same way they want
Speaker 1: shortcuts and everything. All you gotta do is be good.
Speaker 1: I never wanted to be famous. I never anybody to
Speaker 1: tell you yet I never was a lot of people
Speaker 1: in this business day Like when I was young, I
Speaker 1: knew that always. I didn't expect to be a stand
Speaker 1: up comic. Only thing I knew I wanted to be good.
Speaker 1: And I realized if that, if you're good, then that
Speaker 1: will turn into all the other things you want out
Speaker 1: of it. But I never looked for it like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be this, I'm gonna be rich or famous. I
Speaker 1: just want to be good. You never also chase a
Speaker 1: check either, which I think is good. Like Danelle is
Speaker 1: not motivated by money. He does things because he enjoys it,
Speaker 1: he wants to do it. He's always coming up with ideas.
Speaker 1: The last thing he thinks about his compensation, you know,
Speaker 1: for it. And I mean and I thought that has
Speaker 1: probably cost me um a lot of money. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it has a lot of money. Like Danielle, you should,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm always tending to think a ways
Speaker 1: to get Danielle checks like she does too. But you
Speaker 1: know it's one of two things could happen. I could
Speaker 1: have got caught up on that. I know I lost
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but you know, my soul feels
Speaker 1: good about what I do and I think I make
Speaker 1: right decisions. It's gonna make me feel good. You get
Speaker 1: it back. I was gonna ask, you know, when you
Speaker 1: do shows with like a Dave Chappelle's or Chris Rocks
Speaker 1: or whatever commedians. You do shows with Kevin Hard, Uh,
Speaker 1: you do you look at them as a competition and
Speaker 1: not competition where like we're going back and forth, but
Speaker 1: like if I DJ with somebody, it's not a competition
Speaker 1: in my friends, but I still want to be better, right,
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it's called healthy competition? Yeah? You better.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's way and that's the
Speaker 1: only way you get stronger. You know, even when I
Speaker 1: work with Dave. Dave will tell you, he said, I
Speaker 1: know when I work with you, he said, I could
Speaker 1: feel a difference from the audience. I never especially with
Speaker 1: those guys. Their names are so big. There's no competition,
Speaker 1: a sense that when I work with them, I'll open
Speaker 1: for them. So people come to see them. They paid
Speaker 1: the money. I'm a bonus, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm excited when I go out there and they say,
Speaker 1: you see them on HBO's the Wire, you see them
Speaker 1: on so and so, and then they say, but you
Speaker 1: fell in love with him, as ask Larry, and then
Speaker 1: the audience goes nuts, you know. But no, there's no competition.
Speaker 1: But I know that when I'm on the same plan
Speaker 1: field with them, I represent now. Also, I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask you know some of the things that's going on
Speaker 1: in the world before we get into that. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: beginning you prep for when you're on my show, since
Speaker 1: you'll be since the breakfast Club is opening for me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well it's going to lead into your show, right,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. I'm really excited about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do some topics with you. This is for
Speaker 1: you to get ready to be back on radio again.
Speaker 1: Kanye West, what are your thoughts? My thoughts is I
Speaker 1: can't let anybody else's emotions control my emotions. And people
Speaker 1: that let anything that kind YE says affect them in
Speaker 1: any kind of way, I think they're foolish. I don't
Speaker 1: agree with a lot of things that he say. One
Speaker 1: thing in particular, Kanye West says, I don't have no
Speaker 1: friends through true friends in Hollywood. To that, I want
Speaker 1: to say, Kanye called Dave Chappelle. Yeah, Dave will stand
Speaker 1: by you through problematic times, okay, and not even problematic
Speaker 1: like I just the notion of this and the reason
Speaker 1: why I say that because I've seen uh Dave's friendship
Speaker 1: with Kanye. I seen when uh Kanye was underfired about
Speaker 1: some other things when people's like screwed Kanye, and Dave
Speaker 1: would never turn his back on him. They would always say,
Speaker 1: you know, that's my brother. I might not agree with everything,
Speaker 1: but that's my brother and I love him. I saw
Speaker 1: one time when when Kanye was having issues where Dave,
Speaker 1: at the drop of a dime could have probably ject
Speaker 1: to go see him, go talk to him. So when
Speaker 1: you start saying that and you act like there's nobody
Speaker 1: on your side and nobody will listen to you, they
Speaker 1: are all people that want to listen to you, but
Speaker 1: you don't want to listen to the people that's going
Speaker 1: to speak to true to you. And that's what I
Speaker 1: can't let us. What Kanye is talking about is not
Speaker 1: no big news artists getting ripped off with record deals
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. This is how that happened usually
Speaker 1: an artist. Well, that's not the reason people upset. It's
Speaker 1: part of it, you know. I mean, that's what they
Speaker 1: care about. That part I think they care about more
Speaker 1: of his statements to that he made about you know,
Speaker 1: that's what they upset about he made about George Floyd one.
Speaker 1: That's what what they're said about. What I'm saying, the
Speaker 1: spending he's talking about in the deflection is he's now
Speaker 1: it's like this the record business we've been getting over
Speaker 1: and if you know this business, for the most part,
Speaker 1: you get a young dude off the street, off the block, right,
Speaker 1: never seen more than one hundred dollars or one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in a pocket, and you say, here go six figures.
Speaker 1: You have to be sift, and you show him that stack.
Speaker 1: They're not reading that biggest contract, especially when they started
Speaker 1: speaking in British literature. Hereth wareth there with fourth, they like,
Speaker 1: give me my money, and if you notice, most of
Speaker 1: those are just thot up like that. Yeah, you get
Speaker 1: a raw deal at the beginning, but once you start
Speaker 1: getting your business sense, what you're talking to mature, you like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I want a bigger piece of the pie.
Speaker 1: It happened to de Chappelle. De Chappelle said it with
Speaker 1: Comedy Central. When I took that deal with Comedy Central,
Speaker 1: um I had I was I was about to have
Speaker 1: a baby. You know what I'm saying, wasn't making a
Speaker 1: lot of money and I needed to bag you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And that's the urgency of it. But
Speaker 1: you don't still have to not play fair with people. Correct.
Speaker 1: That's why I respect COMMU Central. That was a stand
Speaker 1: up move for Commedy Central to come back and say, here,
Speaker 1: go all your money. Even with your first contract here,
Speaker 1: you always talk about that. It was Yeah, no, my
Speaker 1: first contract it was. It was terrible. It was horrible.
Speaker 1: I think I made after minimum. I think it might
Speaker 1: have been like fifty five. But you already knew. You
Speaker 1: you've been doing it for a while. You know the
Speaker 1: long game. You know what he'll see. I didn't mess up.
Speaker 1: But I also bet on myself. You know, I knew that.
Speaker 1: You know, as a DJ me coming over here, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm the best, and I feel like nobody
Speaker 1: can outwork me. Right when it comes to I will
Speaker 1: do whatever. Jamaica's Canda can't outwork you. You know you,
Speaker 1: you know you've been you know with us, I've seen
Speaker 1: you make this shift from nighttime to cover the spot,
Speaker 1: which is one I should have bet on myself, and
Speaker 1: I bet on myself and it paid off. But you
Speaker 1: know for some people that it absolutely positively don't. And
Speaker 1: I'm just, I'm just I just feel like Kanye doesn't
Speaker 1: have good friends, right. And I won't say me and
Speaker 1: you are the best of friends, right, But if I
Speaker 1: said something, if I was going through something, I know
Speaker 1: you check up on me. It's like the same with you,
Speaker 1: same thing with Angelie, same thing with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I just feel like we don't know that no one's
Speaker 1: checking up on him because but you also, he might
Speaker 1: not be accepting the information. Sometimes there's nothing you could
Speaker 1: do when somebody is not willing to accept things at
Speaker 1: a time you could be friends with somebody. Look, I
Speaker 1: have a friend who has mental health issues and I
Speaker 1: can't really do anything about it. I you know, checked
Speaker 1: up on her. Now she's like really not taking my
Speaker 1: calls at all. It hurts, but there's nothing. She's not
Speaker 1: talking to any of us, right, But I do think
Speaker 1: he can't do anything about it. I do think that, uh,
Speaker 1: he has friends. But when you're living what you think
Speaker 1: your truth of anybody can test that, anybody go against it,
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're not You're not gonna want to talk
Speaker 1: to it. I would also hope that if I do
Speaker 1: have real friends, that they're not gonna put me in
Speaker 1: the position to make things worse. Meaning if I'm wilding
Speaker 1: out and Angel Lee has a show way with the antel,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that she's not gonna play m VY come
Speaker 1: on my show and get yourself in more trouble, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it got to be to the point where
Speaker 1: we have to start saying, you know what, he's our brother,
Speaker 1: he's not in the right mental space. We're not going
Speaker 1: to give him the platform to bury his career and
Speaker 1: bury his business even more. Yeah, but you know the
Speaker 1: funny thing about it is like he talks about a
Speaker 1: certain business community whatever that you know, was robbing people whatever.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, every time, did
Speaker 1: you own a platform whatever, you creating content and people
Speaker 1: clicking and they sell it. So it doesn't matter. Like
Speaker 1: we're in the world right now where everything is about
Speaker 1: engagement a long time ago. We've been doing it for
Speaker 1: a while. Like, if you want to be successful as
Speaker 1: an artist, and they went, thing you had to be
Speaker 1: was likable, right, and next thing you had to do
Speaker 1: was have talent. Correct, That was the only way you're
Speaker 1: gonna get money. People had to spending money, had to
Speaker 1: go to the the record shop and had to do that.
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to do that. You can be
Speaker 1: hated with no talent. If you're an engaging person, you'll
Speaker 1: continue to make money. I do understand some of the
Speaker 1: things that Kanye saying, but there's different ways you could
Speaker 1: do it. And I'm gonna use this as an example.
Speaker 1: We do know that there are certain people that control
Speaker 1: this industry. Right, I'm not gonna do it. I'm just
Speaker 1: this real thing. You can cut it whatever. We do
Speaker 1: know that and those people, we've been working with them
Speaker 1: in this situation for years. Is nothing to do with
Speaker 1: being antisematically anything. The only thing you can do is
Speaker 1: like what you do is position yourself to get a
Speaker 1: bigger slice of the pie. You have to be able
Speaker 1: to position yourself. And I give you an example. People
Speaker 1: might not understand. Tyler Perry is a perfect, perfect example
Speaker 1: of getting controlled, getting what you want. You know, you
Speaker 1: might not like Tyler Perry's story, his movies, but you
Speaker 1: have to respect his story. You have to respect that
Speaker 1: he put itself in the position where he could give
Speaker 1: more black performers opportunities. He's built a studio that he
Speaker 1: gives everybody opportunity to work there. And he did that.
Speaker 1: He didn't have to ruffle up everything. He'd have to
Speaker 1: piss somebody off. He understood, well, how do I get
Speaker 1: to the next step? Be bitching about stuff ain't gonna
Speaker 1: change thing. I make a difference. I make a difference
Speaker 1: with what I do, and I'll build my brand. But
Speaker 1: you know what I don't like, And I don't like
Speaker 1: how we canceled somebody super duper fast. Right, And I
Speaker 1: explain why if I'm making a comment about any group
Speaker 1: of people, right, I might be making that group that
Speaker 1: comment because somebody told me that, and they told me
Speaker 1: wrong information. I think a lot of times we need
Speaker 1: to correct the information and be like, you got this wrong,
Speaker 1: brubb Let me explain to you why this is hurtful.
Speaker 1: Let me explain to you why that was a lie.
Speaker 1: Let me explain to you why that's not truth. But
Speaker 1: the only way. The first thing we do is you
Speaker 1: said something I don't like. We can't see. I don't
Speaker 1: think that anybody's really canceled. No, the only way. Don't
Speaker 1: think Kanye is canceled. Now. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: people supporting him. I see a lot you know, sneaker
Speaker 1: deal he does. Ever, I don't record deal. I don't
Speaker 1: think that he's canceled. I still see everybody covering him.
Speaker 1: I still think people were interview. But the only way
Speaker 1: that he can't even perform. They canceled this performance at
Speaker 1: more House. He's canceled. He Kanye is. They're not allowed.
Speaker 1: It was a basketball team was supposed to play or
Speaker 1: something like. No, he was, he was doing performance and
Speaker 1: they canceled. That. The only true way, the only real way,
Speaker 1: you can be canceled. If you're aligned to corporations and
Speaker 1: you're aligned to like big business, and you're aligned to
Speaker 1: the studios and stuff, you can't especially in my field,
Speaker 1: people are you warning about being counsel. I don't make
Speaker 1: money off a TV like that. I don't make money
Speaker 1: off an acting. My money that I make is a
Speaker 1: thirty year career where I'm going to these comedy clubs
Speaker 1: every year you can't cancel that when you took if
Speaker 1: the comedy clubs don't take you anymore, like they're never
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Kanye can't performing, the comus won't let
Speaker 1: him in. The comedy clubs are never going to do that.
Speaker 1: The comedy clubs, especially like you aren't producing TV show,
Speaker 1: comedy clubs is never gonna do that because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, they want people in those secret money.
Speaker 1: The same reason why it was a lot of like
Speaker 1: these YouTube social media comedians going to the comedy because
Speaker 1: the first comedy cumes like they're not real comedians, they're
Speaker 1: not really funny, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they got a bottom line, had asses, and you can't.
Speaker 1: And that's what and that's why I don't really trip
Speaker 1: off of being canceled, because I know that you won't
Speaker 1: be able to stop me from putting my name. I'm
Speaker 1: on the Marquee and people coming out to see me perform.
Speaker 1: Do you ever sensor yourself though, because sometimes and I
Speaker 1: know I think what's good for you, it's sometimes you
Speaker 1: have that too soon disclaimer. Soon as y'all do that,
Speaker 1: it's like it's kind of like saying no offense. But
Speaker 1: I never. I never edit myself and people I get
Speaker 1: that question all the time. How does this consel culture
Speaker 1: affect you? I'm never. I'm I'm not going to change.
Speaker 1: And I understand, like this is what people. I think
Speaker 1: people take advantage of when they say freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: U I should be able to say without want freedom
Speaker 1: of expression? Yeah, but with everything you do, a consequences
Speaker 1: is what it. It's always some consequence, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yes, you do have the right to say
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, but what are the consequences
Speaker 1: of the words did you say? Kanye West has a
Speaker 1: right to say whatever he wants to say, but what
Speaker 1: are those consequences? I think at the beginning he thought
Speaker 1: he could deal with them, but now, especially when they
Speaker 1: hit his pocket, it's a different situation. It's how you
Speaker 1: can I encourage. I tell I know it's gonna sound crazy.
Speaker 1: I do my show and I do a situation. I say,
Speaker 1: I encourage every white man in here to use it
Speaker 1: in where it leads one so you can know the
Speaker 1: consequences of use and work at least once. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: can you deal with a consequence? Right? You know? And
Speaker 1: I also want to talk ask you about Boston Celtics
Speaker 1: X coach that knocked off at the executive's wife for
Speaker 1: your thoughts. First off, no, no, no disrespect, but people
Speaker 1: act like people act like he cheated on a twenty
Speaker 1: two year old Neil. Oh my god. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, what was it? Don't look amazing. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that, but I'm just saying the prime was
Speaker 1: for me, it was a prime. I'm not knocking it. Y'all,
Speaker 1: all all, y'all one, y'all, go all all ya one,
Speaker 1: But this is right. Do know, c this is what
Speaker 1: I do. Know that stuff happens everywhere, and I think
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that they were so hard on him. But
Speaker 1: what I understand I think that I think that uh,
Speaker 1: one of the this is what I heard, one of
Speaker 1: the executives that was his woman that he was cheating
Speaker 1: with so allegedly damn. But how many lawsuits you've been at,
Speaker 1: you know how to protect yourself, Okay, don't protect me.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad, but I think it's unfortunate. We know
Speaker 1: that stuff like that happens all the time, and I
Speaker 1: know that he's not the first one that's been a
Speaker 1: situation like that. I think it was a little too
Speaker 1: much to say he suspended for the UM for the
Speaker 1: whole season. But yeah, he's a good coach. He'll come
Speaker 1: back now. Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook are both having
Speaker 1: slumps this year. What what what do you tell somebody
Speaker 1: that's in the slum? What are you suggesting for them? Uh?
Speaker 1: Go back to Uh go back to where you were.
Speaker 1: If you can put your mind what made you excited
Speaker 1: about it, what gave you the drive, If you could
Speaker 1: find to get that hunger again, if you could say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the way I used to play when I
Speaker 1: wanted to get that contract, this is when I wanted
Speaker 1: to let everybody know I'm the best to do it.
Speaker 1: If you could tap back into what made you get
Speaker 1: to the point where you where you are, then maybe
Speaker 1: that could jog it. But sometimes you know, people just
Speaker 1: go through stuff, they go through slumps and they just
Speaker 1: they come out of it. Now, what are you gonna
Speaker 1: do for a way up with ANGELA? Ye, what's the
Speaker 1: don segment going to be? I'm gonna do whatever you
Speaker 1: want to do. Um, I I know I really love
Speaker 1: you, you you know, like like my sister, I've been knowing
Speaker 1: you for years, I've seen you go from from of course,
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at the hate listen start open
Speaker 1: to no. But it's like it's it's certain people that
Speaker 1: they can call you what you said it ten times.
Speaker 1: You got a problem with love, you got a problem
Speaker 1: with you haven't had a hug in a while. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. But you say, what am I
Speaker 1: going to do for you on your show? Whatever you
Speaker 1: want me to do. I know that both of us
Speaker 1: have crazy schedules. I would love to be in a
Speaker 1: studio with you every day, but I know that we're
Speaker 1: going to figure something out. Of course, yeah I think
Speaker 1: some man on the street or something, But yeah, we
Speaker 1: could do something. Then that sent me some videos the
Speaker 1: other day when he was at my house and I
Speaker 1: was giving him relationship advice. Which videos I said, I
Speaker 1: guess he didn't work out? Well it didn't. I mean
Speaker 1: happy old old, happy old family. Oh oh, happy old family.
Speaker 1: Everything is wonderful, group shots, everybody matching clothes. Oh, mister
Speaker 1: perfect behind it. Oh my god, you are so perfect.
Speaker 1: I can't stay at you, sir. What videos? I said?
Speaker 1: You wasn't bad, It wasn't. It was when you did
Speaker 1: that TV show. He was you Austin at my house
Speaker 1: project Dad, when you gave me advice. It didn't work
Speaker 1: out in my favor, but I gotta beat for set
Speaker 1: out the deal. Boy, was it my fault that it
Speaker 1: didn't work out? It was probably my fault. And just
Speaker 1: stay on my phone, that's all. Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: selling you. This is how you have a healthy relationship. Anybody,
Speaker 1: stay out the phones. What did they in the phone?
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that. They probably found
Speaker 1: the same thing that probably was flout on your phone
Speaker 1: years ago too. So think about that. Get it close up,
Speaker 1: Get it close up, because because I don't want to
Speaker 1: have a future with you, That's why I've read it fast,
Speaker 1: because I have no future. But we appreciate you for
Speaker 1: joining us. Nah man, you can't do this this same late.
Speaker 1: You know that. Listen. The only reason you you could,
Speaker 1: you could not air this episode. The only reason, the
Speaker 1: only reason I'm telling you, I thought that I was
Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity to sit and this truth of
Speaker 1: the matter is this is it for this building? Yes,
Speaker 1: this is it for this building. Were telling anybody, So
Speaker 1: if anybody want to look for us, they would still
Speaker 1: come to this, but they know I'm gonna be aml
Speaker 1: So what's you gonna do that? Cut it out too.
Speaker 1: But but I'm gonna tell you my sole reason because
Speaker 1: I'm doing Booty Talks other show of a hell of
Speaker 1: a week. Yeah he I'm on a week when it's
Speaker 1: a hell of a week and nothing funny in the
Speaker 1: news nowhere, right. But my reason, the only reason came
Speaker 1: here because I was like, I wanted to be able
Speaker 1: to be in a room with her for the final time,
Speaker 1: last time whatever is going to be breakfast club. I
Speaker 1: love her. I know y'all ain't gonna be in this building.
Speaker 1: And I just came and I'm gonna tell you this
Speaker 1: is why, this is why things are so so beautiful.
Speaker 1: I was. I said to myself, why are you doing
Speaker 1: the show today? Not really here to promote anything particularly Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said that. I was like why, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you don't have to just always uh want to promote
Speaker 1: something to talk to your friends. And this is what
Speaker 1: made my day great. My friends, I could say, you're
Speaker 1: a friend him now you know that. I mean, we
Speaker 1: drug whatever, but you now we have fun. And you
Speaker 1: know when he knows when I get a good one,
Speaker 1: he'll call me like, you really gonna do that? Not
Speaker 1: respect you. I respect your hustle, I respect your you'll
Speaker 1: come up and everything. But this made it so dope
Speaker 1: for me. As when I came to building, when I
Speaker 1: saw a need at the front desk, I screamed. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, are you kidding? So the
Speaker 1: back here and I was like this. I was like this, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason. Just say hello to her and
Speaker 1: just to say goodbye to her, whatever that means. It
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be your forever. But in this space of
Speaker 1: the breakfast cup, we appreciate we got, we got some
Speaker 1: good memory. I always say, we appreciate you. And me
Speaker 1: and Donnelle started doing more the radio together. For most people,
Speaker 1: a lot of people that don't know we started together.
Speaker 1: We learned radio together, we effed up together, and we
Speaker 1: made a lot of mistakes together. But that was part
Speaker 1: of the journey, you know. I mean, this is when
Speaker 1: Donelle was a struggling comedian, So first officer, your first
Speaker 1: off side was first off. I wasn't never struggling. The
Speaker 1: right people had to see me yet say don't say
Speaker 1: that you so disrespectful. I never struggled to come up,
Speaker 1: comedian was killing Yes he had he has Spider Man
Speaker 1: Spider Man movie. No, But I'm just saying I will
Speaker 1: say this in my career, like like, I don't ever
Speaker 1: feel like I was struggling because earlier on I didn't
Speaker 1: expect too much. I tell people I know, but I
Speaker 1: got to correct that, Okay, I have to correct that. Um.
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, when you first started,
Speaker 1: what do you? What do you? What would you tell me?
Speaker 1: I was like, especially in this business, if you could
Speaker 1: be happy being broke, you'll be okay, because you know,
Speaker 1: in this business, save us in the time, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna make no money. It's different now with social media.
Speaker 1: These kids now they get money quick back then you
Speaker 1: have to be content with Can I live with the
Speaker 1: bare minimum knowing that I'm going to a different place.
Speaker 1: If you can't, your your brain up be cloudy, you
Speaker 1: won't be able to focus and it won't happen. I
Speaker 1: was happy when I was broke coming up. Most people,
Speaker 1: I had a good time. And you know whatever, when
Speaker 1: you hear people and you know this story. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of like billionaire and a lot of super
Speaker 1: successful people and the stories that they always share It's
Speaker 1: never ever about where they are now. They always want
Speaker 1: to remind you it wasn't always like this. Yeah I
Speaker 1: remember this, and these are things I appreciate. But most
Speaker 1: the one thing I would say about done Elle and
Speaker 1: myself and even ye a lot of stuff we do,
Speaker 1: it's because we enjoy it. Right. The reason I come
Speaker 1: see you do comedy is because when I see you
Speaker 1: do comedy now, it's the same feel english when I
Speaker 1: used to see you do it back then. You enjoy it,
Speaker 1: you have fun. The same thing was where I still
Speaker 1: DJ because I enjoyed. Why I still go to the
Speaker 1: homecoming spa. I love it. It's a feeling that I
Speaker 1: can't replace. No money in the world can change that.
Speaker 1: But there are checks with those homecoming Joe home coming,
Speaker 1: but I would come for nothing. Pause you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, become Oh my goodness, you need to stop.
Speaker 1: You need to stop saying because everybody you say it's
Speaker 1: another kid saying it isn't over. It's over. I got
Speaker 1: a dynasty that's over. But we appreciate you for joining
Speaker 1: us and thank you. So we really do. And I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to our next chapter. Don Pickleball, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you he wants to invest in the team because he

Speaker 1: and tell when it's a possibility for him to be
Speaker 1: involving in investment. He looked at that and price it.
Speaker 1: How much does it did to do that? But pickleball,
Speaker 1: it's so funny because the sport's been around. It's been

Speaker 1: tell you the way I got introduced to it on
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood and Yellow Springs, Um, there's a it's
Speaker 1: a very uh older community right and for like three
Speaker 1: weeks and they are welcome in community. For three weeks.
Speaker 1: They would come every day. It would be an apple

Speaker 1: did you invite somebody? I ain't want to, so I
Speaker 1: would go. I would go. I would go to the door,
Speaker 1: and then I look around and just be like an
Speaker 1: apple pie and did I'll see a white woman with
Speaker 1: birken stocks and yoga parts saying hello neighbor. Right there
Speaker 1: was giving me gifts every day, So there's now as

Speaker 1: blocking on social media right, and I'm gonna tell you it.
Speaker 1: Just live in this neighborhood up so much the sense

Speaker 1: let's play a game, and we played a game for charity,
Speaker 1: and she beat yours cheated, embarrassing. She didn't beat my ass.
Speaker 1: What she did was she cheated because the official left
Speaker 1: of her next like, I had to break it down.
Speaker 1: The nets was too high. She was seventy right, but
Speaker 1: that Dona wanted me to like side with him and
Speaker 1: bett No, I couldn't do it. She was so much
Speaker 1: better than hnd No, she wasn't so much. She didn't
Speaker 1: mock me up. She barely beat me. She didn't mock

Speaker 1: official neck. That a seventeen year old woman beat you
Speaker 1: in pickable. Yeah, she didn't beat me without cheating, son,
