Well, listen, 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.239 we were just talking about how you thought uh my 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.640 co host, James uh is very unhealthy. He looked by 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.160 the way I walk. He gives you unhealthy vibes, Yes, 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.600 he does. What was it about my walk that you've 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.320 seen and you look unhealthy and that you was gonna 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.720 die this year? Damn you don't take care of your health? Well, yeah, 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.519 you know, because I don't go to doctors at all. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.320 I haven't been in like a decade. Yeah. That's not. 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.680 That's not that's not. That's not good. Fam. The other 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.000 thing about James is James is I've been working with 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.640 him for about two years. The entire time. He works 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.360 out every morning, and you work out every morning every morning, 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.080 but he stays the same weight. He's not working out. No, 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.319 I'm working out. He got my Apple Fitness and tells 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.880 you calories. You ain't working out, nigga. I don't know 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.120 who you lying to. I'll tell you. I lost it. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.839 I see, I can see you going into gym, walking around, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.640 looking at looking at the equipment and touching it like this. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.680 But I can see you're doing this. I got with you. 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.920 I see you touching. You went to the gym. So 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.479 how much weight you lost? So I lost one hundred 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.880 pounds before the pandemic, gained all that back. Now we 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.640 lost about forty. Okay, So listen, stop playing with your weight. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.360 Stop going up and down. And the reason why I 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.000 talked this, I've been on this planet a long time. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.160 I've seen so many people when they fluctuate with their weight. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.080 And what happens is that to me, what I've seen, 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.240 it causes strokes, laid on down the line. It causes 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.400 heart attacks because that's stress on your heart going up 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.280 and going down, you know what I mean. And this 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.520 is something I think is like we was all off 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.760 the air. I think this is a great thing to 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.480 talk about health because we always talk about music, we 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.720 always talk about relationships, but we never money. Talk and 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.560 talk about money, but we never talk about health. And 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.840 we want to teach these kids and women and everybody 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.200 start going to the doctor. Let's let's start putting that 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.880 out in the universe that we take care of ourselves, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.880 you know, so that's important. Okay, we appreciate you returning. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.639 Thank you. You are our first interview in the new spot. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.960 By the way, super Bowl Week Interviews brought to you 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.960 by deaf Jam Shout out to death Jam. But I 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.160 wanted to talk to you because there was a clip 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.560 that went viral of you recently when you were on Vlad, 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.480 and it was essentially you saying, now, I'll let you 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.040 kind of women have a certain time period to report 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.520 if they've been sex sexual assaulted. Yes, was it an hour? 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.760 It was an hour to report it? Okay, now I 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.320 want you to yes, I'm going to elaborate please because 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.760 that sounds crazy. Yeah, this sounds crazy. And the reason why, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.440 and everybody that hit me from all over the world 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.960 was basing everything on their personal experience. So I did 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.520 this interview with this young lady and I explain. I 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.560 explained to her what I felt, right, and I explained 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.720 and I listened to what she said and what I 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.760 tell the world when I tell you, guys, see everybody 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:15.360 when they hear certain things, it's based on your journey 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.079 in life. See, we all have a flight pattern in 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.800 life and right now, sitting here at the table, we 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.840 have landed. So all your experiences right now is going 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.000 to come out as we're talking. If I say certain 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.919 things to you, you're going to feel a certain way 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.800 based on your journey that has led you here. So 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.760 with the young lady, she says how she had got 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.040 assaulted and that she this particular woman says she felt 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.440 like it was going to be unnecessary to say anything 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:46.320 because she felt like the cops wouldn't take hers seriously, 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.040 that she wouldn't be playing. And then when I was 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.960 listening to her, I said, you know what, you're right, 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.440 But I said, I want to listen. Once you listen 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.560 to me, now into the world who's watching. When I 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.800 say that you have an hour, what happens if you 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.320 do it within an hour, whether that person, whether cosp 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.680 believe you or not, and that person who violated you 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.600 gets noticed that he did something wrong, you could probably 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.920 take that person off the street. But if you wait 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.680 a year, wait thirty years, and he's really a predator, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.680 you give him a chance to get more victims over 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.560 the years. But if you get a person right then 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.000 you might could get them off the street. You might 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.880 and get them locked up that day. Now everything is 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.240 based Some women say, oh, I probably didn't want to 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.039 feel comfortable at that time. Some women say, well, I 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.520 didn't have the characters until I saw such and such 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.360 did when I saw her do it, that's what made 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.839 me do it. And everybody's right. So there's no wrong 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.240 thank you, there's no wrong answer. So your thing, your 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.240 thing is just like yo, like my advice to you 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.599 would be if not you got an hour or your fuck. Yes, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.520 but my advice to you would be immediately reported, immediately, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.120 immediately reported, because you get that person. So I think 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.760 I think that's what I think. That's a lot better 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.840 than how I feel like me and him were like, hey, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.760 we were scrolling on that. I think that shade was 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.440 like god, no, no, no, what you say and what 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.760 you said is right, is not what I said? Is 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.799 how I said it? Right? I do think that that's 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.640 not bad advice. Yes, right, he's pretty much saying for 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.000 better chances to lock somebody up and just tell as 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.600 quick as possible. And if you're a woman who's going 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.440 through something and maybe it's a family member, maybe it's 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.440 more complicated and it takes a little bit more. There's 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.520 no wrong there's no wrong. That's fair. Yeah, there's no 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:43.000 wrong because and if I offended anybody, I apologize, but 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.800 because I was right, I just worded it the wrong 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.800 way that everybody couldn't understand it. It's important, Yeah, it's 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.359 very important. Yeah. I remember that we all hear stuff different, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.920 so your attention sometimes the people's perception might take it differently. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.320 So now you got to clear your attentions up. Yes, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.680 it all makes it. So listen, man, you are on 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.440 the road, you're managing yourself, your podcast is going crazy. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.200 How are you feeling in the new year, TK, how's 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.200 every I mean, you're looking good. Man. Here's the thing, man, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.320 I loved life so much. Gentlemen, you feel me like 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.920 I really love this thing. I really love life, and 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.279 I teach that. And one of my friends said, TK, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.600 don't die. I said, what do you mean? She said, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.479 because most people with comedians commit suicide because they depressed. Yeah, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.320 and I said, I said this in my DNA. I'm 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.760 a fly ass nigga. That's exactly what I told her, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.320 you know, because I said, there's nothing about me that's depressed. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:49.400 Even though most comedians they say they hide in something, right, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.440 I'm not that dude, I'm not hiding nothing, and I 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.360 hope I'm an exception to the rule. Right. I moved 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.840 through life happy. I'm blessed, and don't get me wrong, 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:01.719 the the things I went to when I was hustling 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.920 back in the day, when I was doing crazy shit. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.920 All this makes me appreciate life. But then I get 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.960 these constant reminders, like my dreams be so insane. I 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.080 have murdered people, I've got robbed in dreams and my dreams. 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.840 And when I wake up, I go, oh, man, thank god, Right, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.480 that was a dream. But I turn a negative to 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.680 a positive. I say to myself, think that was a dream. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:31.440 I really appreciate my life because I could have been 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.880 all these other things that I'm dreaming about. So I 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.720 go to bedack at nine. My daughter's just tripping because 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.200 I don't sleep along that very long. She said, Dad, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.320 you don't sleep long. I might sleep for hours, might 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.360 feel like a whole day because I feel so good. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.880 She'll sleep at nine and wake up at like twelve 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.760 one o'clock. Jesus damn me rolling for the net. But 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.560 it feels like I slept the whole like eight, nine, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.840 ten hours. And what I say to people is just funny, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:01.840 I say, is because I love life so much that 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.920 I gotta get all my minutes out this motherfucker. Yeah, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.000 you only got one. I want I want every minute 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.920 fucking coming in me. That's how much I love this shit. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.320 Let me ask you this, Like, it feels like over 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.440 the last like ten years or so, there's been kind 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.920 of like a cool I mean it's probably always been 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.040 this way. I feel like you kind of move outside 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.200 of the comedy industry. Explain. I feel like when we 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.960 think of like some of the bigger comedians, right, it 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.280 feels like it's real clickie. Yes. Yes, it's like a 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.720 cool gay, cool guy club, and it feels like you're 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.280 just existing out like almost like you're an independent rapper. Yes, yes, 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.199 does that make sense? That's so true? You know what 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.080 I mean. There's like there's guys who are like a 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.000 part of like the machine of comedy. Then there's TK 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.960 who's just thriving in his own way, right, booking his 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.760 own shows, right, running out. Is that fair to say? Yeah? 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.559 I always say eagles fly alone, you know, so I'm 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:05.160 an I fly alan. I love seeing what people are doing, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.920 but I move at my own beat, and I love 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.439 that you know. And I don't think nobody's a more 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.120 brilliant manager than me. Nobody's more brilliant and getting that 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:20.719 money to me, nobody's more brilliant about health and knowledge. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.040 And it's a shame. I got to pretty much keep 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.120 it to myself. But when I do get an OG 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.440 a young youngster to mentor, I give him some gamers here. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.480 And one of the kids I'm getting drawn to because 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.760 he really listens is a young comedian in Lewis Belt 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.360 and Louis Belt. When I see him, he's always, oh g, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.640 keep teaching me, keep teaching me. And he really fucking listened. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.319 So every time I see him that that energy is 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.840 getting connected and I'm thinking about pulling them over in 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.559 a minute and really drop him the OG one on 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.679 one game on how to move through this because I 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.080 want to retire in about three years. I want to retire. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.280 But a man told me years ago, your man named 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.120 David Claim. He said, t K never retired because you'll die. 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.080 And this kind of lifestyle does keep you on topic, 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.760 keep you. I smell good, you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.760 I take my ships here. I got to stay well 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.560 shaved and all that you got to be presentable, you know. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:27.280 So it's a good thing. So I maybe I might retire, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.800 I might not, or I might really just go start 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.200 doing something else and do shows once a month, like 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.520 you know, I might do it that way. We'll see. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.839 But every day I wake up, the phone is my 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:47.000 emails mine did something happen with like a previous manager? 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.679 Or did Jesus always I've always managed, so you bush? Yeah, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.360 I never do no bullshit and agencies. I've tried to 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.880 book me c a A, William Morris, all these people, 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.720 but when I've talked to him after two or three months, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.160 they were like, Yo, there's nothing we could do for you. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.720 And I it's not that I want to share my money. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.080 I had this horrible feeling I got to call you 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.520 to find if somebody booked me yeah, or I gotta 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.160 wait for you to call me and say such such 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.640 books you. That got to be a horrible fucking feeling. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.000 Does somebody tell you when you're gonna eat? I can't 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.360 do it, yo, I can't do that shit. Are you 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.600 consuming like any comedy as a fan? Because Netflix drops 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.440 and feels like two or three specials a week at 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.760 this point, Like, are you are you tapping into like 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.680 other comedian specials, just to kind of see what they're doing. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.080 Or no, no, no, I tell comedians I have just 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.720 one rule. Never watch another comic. You could take a peek, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.600 but never watch another comic because maybe subconsciously something happens 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.840 there that you don't you watch. You watch them and 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.400 they funny, and the next thing you know, you either 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.440 flip they joke or you got their style. And you 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.720 ever watch my standard, My shits so cold that if 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.760 Mike up said it best, he said, you steal TK 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.720 Kirklan shit. You know it's TK because nobody talks the 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.760 way I talk or think the way that I think. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:15.320 And in the nineties, when I was trying to pursue HBO, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.480 going to meetings, showtime, going to meeting because that was 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.000 kind of like the that was a pinnacle of comedy, 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.800 like get get on there. And I was always my 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.360 mindset was always ahead of my time, being independent, and 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.320 you kids came along, and I always knew in the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.880 nineties that my career was gonna change based on youngsters 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.680 like you, because I didn't know what it was us didn't. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.040 I didn't know there was gonna be podcasts. I didn't 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.640 know there was gonna be this streaming thing. I just 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.480 knew something was going to have said my world is 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.320 going to change when the young kids get older, and 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.720 then bam, we have this new life and entertainment. You know, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.600 Like now I have my own network. I don't have 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.040 to go to HBO. I don't have to go to Netflix. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.480 But most menians who send the brainwash, I got to Netflix. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.600 I gotta have much show. That's true. But I do 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.480 my own ship, make my own money, like you said, 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.040 like an independent rapper. Yeah, it feels like the comedy. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.239 I guess the measurables of what makes you a successful 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.079 comedian is changing now because because now you'll see guys 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.480 like Andrew Schulz or Joe Rogan or the eighty five 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.839 South guys. Yes, and they have they have their own platform. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.480 That's way bigger than any Netflix show. Yes, that's bigger 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.880 than doing a special and selling it like I think 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.480 Andrew Schul went he probably, I mean he made millions 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.880 of millions million. I did the show a couple of 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.960 years ago. It's good to see what he's done. But 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.920 I do the same thing. So it's like it's like 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.960 it feels like that at least the tide is turning 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.560 in the comedy world in terms of like back in 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.599 the day, you almost had to have a sitcom or 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.439 catch a movie, yes, or catch one of those roles 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.760 to kind of be considered like and what you guys 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:01.079 are these podcasts that tape it do your thing? You 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.760 guys are the new Arsenial Hall Shows, the new David Letterman. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.600 See because back then, you go, I'm the only show 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.199 that you could get on and you could only have 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.640 like three or four minutes at a time, exactly supposed 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.000 to sit down for an hour and people really, you know, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.360 the world watches Gods Show. The world listened to my podcast, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.600 The world listened to Blad, the world listened to the 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:25.480 Breakfast Club. You know. So it's really done an honor, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.480 it's been. It's been a blessing for me. How important 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.600 has LAD been in terms you got that ring camera 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.640 going crazy? I didn't know, I don't even know it 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.800 was on. It was yeah, I thought it was you. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.680 I got the ring, I got security cameras. But how 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.920 important because I feel like a lot of people have 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:51.000 discovered you through that platform, through Vlad. Absolutely, it feels 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.800 like you guys got a good partnership going. I love 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.480 lad Man. You know, Lad, I didn't know this was 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.720 going to happen. It started like six seven years ago 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.240 when I at the Breakfast Cloud and I didn't want 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.640 to do the Breakfast Cloud. My son did you know? 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.440 Just like he got me on this. My son Eric 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.840 said to me one day, Dad, you should do the 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.160 Breakfast Club. I said, I ain't fucking with them kids, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:17.760 because I knew Charlamagne Wae was side Botty Williams and 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.120 he was a kid. So when I heard about the 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.640 BREAKSTI he got time. Ain't got time for that. And 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.160 then my son said, Dad, and I listened to like 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.240 he's a smart kid. I said, okay, cool. And when 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.200 I did it, the numbers were so I didn't really care. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:34.880 I didn't know about numbers either. I didn't know what 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.920 that meant. I didn't know what views and all that ship. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.960 But I didn't care about none of that. And after 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:46.520 I did that interview, by the time I touched the 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:53.520 lobby of that hallway at the Breakfast Club called me 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.920 mm hmm. He said, hey, I just saw you on 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.920 the Breakfast Club. Would you like to do Lad? And 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.520 I just felt on it. I had just like I 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.720 don't know what the lad is. They told me the ares. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.000 I went over there and then those numbers was in 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.240 the millions. The Brookes Club was in the millions, and 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.960 I still it still didn't register. Now when I walk 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.120 down the street, I don't care of them. In London. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:20.120 In Germany, everybody know. And when my daughters with me, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.600 they be looking like you just dad does us, you know. 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.760 And it's just a real good feeling that I'm getting 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.720 the recognition that I always felt I deserved. But I 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.440 had the ability, the calmness to wait and be patient. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.280 I didn't panic, you know, it was like playing checkers. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.880 You know, you check me. So I see all the 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.960 other comedians who are hilarious, people who I started, people 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.760 people I started that they know I'm funnier than them, 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:51.680 Like it ain't no secret. Every comic in this game 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.040 know about Tea to the motherfucker k And when we 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.040 touched that motherfucker Mike, you know, they confront all they want, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.160 They could lie all want in front of that crowd. Yeah, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.480 when we get on that because everybody, when you came up, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.080 you had to come through me. Because I had six 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.679 clubs in Los Angeles. Everybody had to come through TK, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.240 and I will be able to shut. Like Jamie Fox 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.919 said on this interview one, he said, every every comic 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.520 in the world is afraid of TK Kirkland. He said, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.679 because t K can go in the club at a 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.199 dance club and shut the motherfucker down, you could be 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.920 in it. It could be a dance motherfucks be dancing. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.840 I get the motherfuckers quiet. Turn that bitch out. True story, y'o. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.879 And that's why I loved being on the tours I 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.560 was on back in the day. But d m X 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:46.040 baby and them to cash only millionaires Madonna. I mean 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.080 I told with everybody and no one, no, not every 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.679 community can't handle that, especially a raptor. You did the madonnaur. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.879 I did Madonna too? Oh wow, Yeah Madonna did she 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.080 you know, get a little bit of I mean you 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.720 feel like her type is all same? Yeah, yeah, yeah, See. 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:08.160 I met Madonna through a nigganame Haitian Jack. I feel 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.320 like Haitian Jack is a name I've heard a lot. Yeah, 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.080 Haitian Jack was the man back in the day, and 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.280 I shout out to Haitian always show man. Love the 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.040 Haitian Jack, and he was my he was my muscle. Okay, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.399 you know what I'm saying. It sounds like the kind 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.040 of guy who Yeah, Jack was my muscle. And you 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.439 know I always stay quiet. You know, I moved a 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.399 certain way. But people found about my reputation a little 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:34.920 by little, and I went from that type of maybe 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.919 confused young man in sense because I went to college, 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.600 ran track right, and I had this ever where I 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.399 was just doing crazy things. But when I sit and 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.679 understand the universe at my age of sixty two, I 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:51.199 understand all that was meant for me to be knowledgeable 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.000 now because when the podcast is amazing, my T. K. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.520 Kirkle podcast is because I've been through so much. I 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.399 can teach people think and I tell people now when 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.160 I look back and say, you know what, you can't 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.440 teach nobody nothing. You ain't been through nothing that's real, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.320 you know what I mean? And I've been through a lot. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.200 And I'm glad. Even did a poll when it came 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.919 to relationship advice and what's the gentleman who passed away? 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:23.480 Kevin Saniel, Kevin Samuel, He had a hunt like ninety 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.000 something and I was like eighty percent on RELATIONSHP advice. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.600 I was writing number two on relationship advice right after 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.000 Kevin Samuels. So I thought that was cool. You know, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.080 that was a respect because Kevin Samuel was good. Oh Kevin, 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.879 he dropped some Yeah, women hated him, but it was 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.240 he did. He was honest, and I used to always 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:43.800 say I wanted to give him the game on. Yeah, 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.879 you could be brutal to women, but you got to 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.000 give him game on. What's the solution. You can't just 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.080 ship on him with no solutions. Give the solution, right 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.440 and it just move on right, right? So you know 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.639 I'm gonna talk about you, but you're gonna listen to me. 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.920 But here's the seleution, the solution, right, and that's where 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.719 that's my style. Yeah, I give the solution on what 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:09.280 you should do. Well, obviously you are unmarried, correct, Yes, 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.760 you are a single man. Yes, absolutely, What was the 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.840 closest you had, like for you, like, because me and 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.879 me and James are obviously in new semi new marriages. 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:27.720 He just got married, we have. Yeah, it's okay. In general, though, 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.080 like you know, I do, I do feel like there's 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.439 a lot of different perspectives on monogamy marriage all of that. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.520 For you. Let's say hypothetically, somebody is going through a 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.200 rough patch in their relationship. Are you the kind of 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.440 guy that believes in like counseling or anything like that, 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.560 or like, like, what would be some advice you would 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.760 give a couple who might not necessarily be eye at 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.919 the moment. Yeah, get the fuck out. That's a good question, 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:01.919 because me, I'll get rid of you. Me you me, 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.240 you gotta go problem, Yeah, you gotta go now. It 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.760 might hurt because I might like you. But what I 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.040 would say is what type of niggas you was fucking 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.080 with before you met me? See? Because every man has 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.960 a responsibility to make a woman better by the time 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.959 she meet the niggas she really supposed to be with. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.479 So when I fuck with certain women, I'm like, what 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.399 niggas fucked with you? See? Most niggas wanted to fuck you, 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.600 but nobody wanted to give you a game. Nobody wanted 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.000 to teach you how to move when you roll with 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:32.160 certain niggas. See, I rolled a certain way. A female 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.720 got to be a certain way. When you roll with me, 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.280 you can't be all that back and forth. You move 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.440 with dignity and respect, because that's how I look at 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.159 myself and you all over the place. You loud, You 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:48.399 cause a confusion. You petty, Maybe you can't rock with 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:52.879 me any ounce of pettiness. Your ass gotta go, gots 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.960 to go immediately. And no matter how much you like 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.920 a woman, man, I've done it. Yeah, I got a man, 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.840
