Speaker 3: That's what all y'all really, I'm telling you to lose
Speaker 3: love your enemies, let them bring let them bring out
Speaker 3: the best of you, not the worst. When someone gives
Speaker 3: you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer.
Speaker 3: Look at God, for then you are working out of
Speaker 3: your true selves. Your God, create creative selves. This is
Speaker 3: what God does. He gives his best, the sun to
Speaker 3: warm and the rains of ners to everyone, regardless the
Speaker 3: good and the bad, the nights of the nasty.
Speaker 1: If all you do is love the lovable, to respect.
Speaker 3: The bonus, anybody can shut the fuck up while I'm
Speaker 3: talking about God is wrong with you, nigg I'm praying,
Speaker 3: Nigga and anybody.
Speaker 1: Can do that.
Speaker 3: If you simply say hello to those who greet you,
Speaker 3: do you expect a medal? Any run of the meal
Speaker 3: center does that. In a word, what I'm saying is,
Speaker 3: grow up your kingdom subjects now, live like that, Live
Speaker 3: out your God created identity. Live generously and gracefully toward
Speaker 3: others the way God lives towards you.
Speaker 1: I love you, I love you. Sture you texted me
Speaker 1: because you texted me.
Speaker 4: Matthew five five.
Speaker 1: Happy?
Speaker 4: Happy? Are the mild tempered? Since they inherit the earth?
Speaker 1: That's Matthew five five, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling, brother? I feel very mild. In fact,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this is how mald I. I've
Speaker 3: looked at the careers of a lot of people, right,
Speaker 3: and some of those people that are super hot that
Speaker 3: aren't that mild. Let's just say they're not doing, uh,
Speaker 3: the same thing that the mild performers. I don't use names.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about anybody. I mean, we could get
Speaker 3: to it. I mean it's not listen. I had a
Speaker 3: conversation with a very close friends of mind, and they
Speaker 3: said they knew that I was doing the breakfast club right,
Speaker 3: and they said, Donelle, don't do it. This is what
Speaker 3: that person says breakfast. They don't do what I'm not
Speaker 3: used to say. They said, don't do what they're going
Speaker 3: to try to do.
Speaker 1: He said, don't do it.
Speaker 3: And the reason why he said, here's the thing you
Speaker 3: could say, it's this thing is I'm giving light to
Speaker 3: somebody that doesn't deserve light. All right, I'm giving energy
Speaker 3: and pumping up something that doesn't have to be pumped up.
Speaker 3: Now we could talk about the situation. I see that sinister,
Speaker 3: nasty light skin. Looked at your having.
Speaker 4: You look very light.
Speaker 3: You look very like lighter than normal setting like you
Speaker 3: look like like Tisha like light lighting.
Speaker 1: Thing is I know it's.
Speaker 3: Your business as a fake journalist, as immediate personality, you
Speaker 3: have to get to the bottom of thisss. You have
Speaker 3: to get to what people talk about in the streets.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that, but we can't.
Speaker 1: No, I want to hear special and they're talking about
Speaker 1: the special. Wait, what's special? A new day? Know what platform? Netflix?
Speaker 1: Not on the YouTube, not a podcast? Continue with Netflix.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying there's levels of this all right, yes, way,
Speaker 3: that's what we do. I'm still in the top ten.
Speaker 3: That's what we call from. People don't understand that to
Speaker 3: look for clicks. This is called in this business of
Speaker 3: it's called charting.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Now, there are a lot of shows on Netflix. And
Speaker 3: here's when the world, just not just a podcast, sees
Speaker 3: you when you chart. When my special dropped on the
Speaker 3: twenty seventh, the next day, it was charted at number two.
Speaker 3: Cong Now, no, no, no, no, no, let's talk about it. Don't
Speaker 3: try to he was scared of ship and andre Ward
Speaker 3: give me the same figa on a punk, I asked questions, So, who.
Speaker 1: Do you think was gonna fight next?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Who's the greatest? Who's the greatest fighter you ever seen? So?
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the greatest nigga? Answer real question?
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the greatest?
Speaker 4: Would you ever fight?
Speaker 1: Scorpion Balls? The biggest scorpion balls? There's a story in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas where some guy Balls got good fight scorpion?
Speaker 3: Hey, andre would you ever fight a scorpion? Can give
Speaker 3: me the same respect I don't need. I don't want
Speaker 3: your mother fucking congratulations. I want to talk about the facts.
Speaker 4: I have a respectful question.
Speaker 3: Didn't that before that, I have to answer his question.
Speaker 3: First special dropped. That's a question you and you were
Speaker 3: getting there. It charted number two, right and it held
Speaker 3: on to number two for three days. It went to
Speaker 3: number four for a couple of days, it went to
Speaker 3: number seven. I'm not really sure even if it's charging
Speaker 3: right now. But to have a net Special to come
Speaker 3: out as many programs that are on Netflix, just to
Speaker 3: get recognized in the top ten, it's a big joint.
Speaker 3: It's a big deal, and it's the reason why I
Speaker 3: support any comic that want to follow my lead and
Speaker 3: be mild.
Speaker 1: You should do it.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. And to address that, here's my thing,
Speaker 3: all right, we'll see it. I don't want to get
Speaker 3: into it. I don't want to get into it because
Speaker 3: I don't want to be messed. No, but no, no,
Speaker 3: I got to say this to it. It's in your face, nigga,
Speaker 3: you sinister nigga. I don't understand. That's the type of
Speaker 3: nigga you are.
Speaker 4: I don't get this done.
Speaker 5: You've always been such a mild mannered comic. What is
Speaker 5: setting you off about this situation?
Speaker 3: The thing is setting me up about the situation it's
Speaker 3: being called mild. All right, I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 3: It's the same issue I here with you for a
Speaker 3: person that i'm bringing you back in. When I want
Speaker 3: to bring you back into this, I'm gonna pray for you.
Speaker 1: Dear father, help.
Speaker 3: This nigga, all right? And I'm making what was the
Speaker 3: point of can you keep you on track?
Speaker 6: Just what is the point I was making why you
Speaker 6: don't like to be called a mind?
Speaker 1: The reason why?
Speaker 3: And it's I say, the issue I had with you,
Speaker 3: and I said, okay, this mother for keep on trying
Speaker 3: to create the narrative that he's not funny.
Speaker 1: You don't understand it's not true.
Speaker 3: To begin, let me say this, let me talk to
Speaker 3: a comedian. You know the inward for us not funny
Speaker 3: and corny. As much success as you've had, and I
Speaker 3: know that if you've dealt with nay sayers and everything,
Speaker 3: and you can brush it off, your numbers don't lie.
Speaker 3: It's still something personal about somebody saying that and you
Speaker 3: want to say fuck you.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not.
Speaker 3: And the reason why I'm gonna say that, and I'll
Speaker 3: address this first off, you got to ask who's judging me?
Speaker 3: Who is saying you mild, and if that person is
Speaker 3: now on a level of what I've.
Speaker 1: Done, when you talk about what your mouth saying.
Speaker 3: Resume, even on a level, it's not even fair for
Speaker 3: you to make an assessment of what you think my
Speaker 3: motherfucking career is because I could do I can do
Speaker 3: the resumes and this is what I could do. Resident
Speaker 3: you can say the rest. I know you saw scorpion balls.
Speaker 3: I know I'm gonna deliver you, so you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's like, Okay, who's judging me? And then
Speaker 3: when somebody's judging, you're making a critique of me, what
Speaker 3: are you doing? What are you doing to your career?
Speaker 3: Was sitting back trying to ship on the motherfucker? And
Speaker 3: I take offense to anybody saying that funny because I
Speaker 3: know after thirty years, that's not what the streets are saying.
Speaker 3: I'm not funny about you. Isn't that the sign of
Speaker 3: a narcissist? Yes, always bringing.
Speaker 1: It back to you. It's not about you. But but
Speaker 1: did you open me? This interview is me, that's right,
Speaker 1: a new day of a new doing, and I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1: But you opened up for him that night right left,
Speaker 1: actory what what what you say?
Speaker 4: First off?
Speaker 1: First off, you know what, I don't want crazy that
Speaker 1: that was crazy? No, I didn't, Okay, no, mhm. I
Speaker 1: think it's very petty for comedians and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say names because all it's just getting more.
Speaker 3: I think it's fucked up for comedians to try to
Speaker 3: be critics of comedians when you're in the same field.
Speaker 3: Nobody does that. Athletes nobody do that. You'll never hear
Speaker 3: Lebron James going out saying that Jay Morant is whack.
Speaker 3: I'm better than him. Okay, joh, whatever it is. I'm
Speaker 3: making my point. You guys can count them. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get you when I say this. You'll never have any
Speaker 3: other field where when you actively doing the same thing,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be.
Speaker 1: A critic of that person. And what they do is
Speaker 1: leave it on the court.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna Lebron may have a certain issue with
Speaker 3: certain players, but he was like, I'm not gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm better at him, Like this, I'm gonna dunk on you.
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan never went out and said what I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do to somebody. He went out and did it. So
Speaker 3: if you you want to fight me, fight in the
Speaker 3: fair arena. You can't fight me on Netflix because you
Speaker 3: ain't in that league. So if your criticism of me
Speaker 3: is of what your opinion is. And even with this situation,
Speaker 3: somebody said, don't talk about it. You know what, I'm
Speaker 3: a very petty person. I've been riding y'all motherfucker's pause
Speaker 3: for eight years. I can be petty, right, I could
Speaker 3: be petty. Didn't want to be petty, I said it.
Speaker 3: And the reason why I didn't want to be petty
Speaker 3: because I started listening. I go through the comments. I
Speaker 3: started listening, and I was saying, wait a minute, I
Speaker 3: don't got to fight this motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I'll let them fight it.
Speaker 5: I don't need just like curting, you have to use
Speaker 5: mild for fanity, yes, but I got you with myfanity
Speaker 5: because we don't want to have to edit too much BP.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is, if you want to fight me,
Speaker 3: fight me in the right arena, you know. And the
Speaker 3: thing is where you want to fight me or criticize me,
Speaker 3: I've already done that. I've already done that if you
Speaker 3: check my resume, and I know you guys have because
Speaker 3: you always want to have some inside on me. If
Speaker 3: you check my resume and my career goes over thirty years,
Speaker 3: I started in the same place that everybody started, probably
Speaker 3: even worse. So when you try to put out there
Speaker 3: what you think comedy is and getting in front of
Speaker 3: the munch, I guess what. I've been through the mud.
Speaker 3: But who still want to keep playing in the dirt.
Speaker 3: Eventually you got to elevate yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Why being so spicy down?
Speaker 1: We know like you are funny, like we were like,
Speaker 1: we know you funny, Like, so what you're trying to
Speaker 1: do down is, like I'm being honest, like how many
Speaker 1: times is ues?
Speaker 4: Is gas flighting? Your gas lighting?
Speaker 1: Because he's get you started it.
Speaker 3: I don't trust you. I'm just I'm keep it real.
Speaker 3: I like you, but I don't trust you. And I
Speaker 3: have the same situation with certain names whatever. But it's
Speaker 3: like it's like this and now look at this, and
Speaker 3: I know the question is, well, what's up with all
Speaker 3: this comedy beef or whatever?
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate who got that question? I had that question.
Speaker 1: There's an elephant in a row.
Speaker 6: We do and we asked every other comedian that fucking
Speaker 6: comes up here that question, and I was gonna get
Speaker 6: to that.
Speaker 1: How you feel about the comedy beef and the climate
Speaker 1: that it's in.
Speaker 6: Let's take away a nigga with a podcast who talks
Speaker 6: about everybody to get attention. Let's take away that talk
Speaker 6: about No, I'm talking about the climate in what comedy is?
Speaker 1: You know our comedy is answer this way is to do?
Speaker 3: You got to like comics, white commons, black commics, whatever
Speaker 3: the thing is in our community, we feel like it
Speaker 3: only could be one black person on top of one time.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to share the stage. They feel like Hollywood
Speaker 3: picks this person, but everybody can win. Everybody wants to
Speaker 3: be Batman. But it's gonna be more Robbins than anything.
Speaker 3: We're not supportive of each other, very very selfish, very competitive,
Speaker 3: but not the point.
Speaker 1: Of everybody though we see I'm not talking to you, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm talking to a comedian. Do you want to do comedy?
Speaker 1: You can start like we did. We can do open mics.
Speaker 1: I know you have a platform and you think you
Speaker 1: can do anything. All right? Do we interrupt like this?
Speaker 3: I imagine can be interfering when you talking about one
Speaker 3: of your podcast cards. Sorry, continue right, we don't do
Speaker 3: seminars for houses anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that time is.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, wait a minute. He doesn't do open mic,
Speaker 4: he doesn't open houses.
Speaker 1: Open houses. The houses clothes like shit right there anywhere?
Speaker 1: Mind goodness. The question is it's and it's it's an
Speaker 1: out were very very very.
Speaker 3: Very hateful and as bad as the climate has been
Speaker 3: in comedy, this is the common denominator with everybody that's
Speaker 3: been a subject and discussion from the shell. Let's keep
Speaker 3: it real from the sha and if you all these
Speaker 3: names that came up, the one thing that's common with
Speaker 3: everybody is that we all started from nothing. There's not
Speaker 3: a story of anybody's name is going up that didn't
Speaker 3: come from uh one family house.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Nothing.
Speaker 3: Everybody, everybody they talk about had a dream and they
Speaker 3: turned their dream into reality. So my thing, if you
Speaker 3: want to be critical of that, then be same, use
Speaker 3: that same criticist and talk about the come up, talk
Speaker 3: about the people that have done it, and let people
Speaker 3: know that this is something that you can focus on
Speaker 3: and you can do it, you can be good at it,
Speaker 3: and you make it successful. The only thing right now
Speaker 3: in our comedy community is that people are trying to
Speaker 3: sell controversy.
Speaker 1: Now. They don't want to.
Speaker 3: Sell jokes anymore because they know what moves the needle
Speaker 3: every podcast platform. I did a whole media run and everybody,
Speaker 3: soon as I walked in, they wanted the controversy, which
Speaker 3: I heard so about that they want, Oh I heard
Speaker 3: this because they know that our society, we gravitate toward
Speaker 3: negativity more than anything. That's why you look at news,
Speaker 3: the news, whatever New York news, you look at it.
Speaker 3: Person was murdered in Brooklyn, person was murdered in Bronx.
Speaker 3: Because we gravitate toward negative stuff. It's unfortunate where we
Speaker 3: ever get where we have these positive stories, never because
Speaker 3: that don't move the dow. So you got people here
Speaker 3: trying to move a dow with podcasts whatever. And the
Speaker 3: way I'm trying to move a dow is by what
Speaker 3: I'm doing. I don't have to talk about it. I'm
Speaker 3: not cocky about my Netflix special. I've been doing this
Speaker 3: for thirty two years and anybody you know, you know
Speaker 3: my history, anybody you know my history, I put the
Speaker 3: work in. So when you try to discredit that, I'm
Speaker 3: going to defend that again. I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about it because there's the thing. I make a conversation,
Speaker 3: all right, because somebody told me that's what we have.
Speaker 3: Now it's a MISSI fuck them. I don't know how
Speaker 3: to say it.
Speaker 1: I was trying not to say that. I was trying
Speaker 1: not to say I swear God, don't do this. I
Speaker 1: just give me. That's what I want to say. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to ask you. A serious question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if sucking three dicks get you a movie, what
Speaker 5: the fucking six six dicks get well?
Speaker 3: Uh, that's a question for you because I know you're
Speaker 3: you're very serious about it into the acting world, right,
Speaker 3: And when I came up here, I was like this,
Speaker 3: you know what out of all this discussion on flatio,
Speaker 3: and she was like, who better to audition for three movies?
Speaker 1: It's Charlotte made.
Speaker 3: So maybe that's what you're the one curious about the
Speaker 3: movie and that's a trigger. I've been in over three
Speaker 3: movies and I've never and with that, I've kept my
Speaker 3: career Dick Tree.
Speaker 1: So I've done it.
Speaker 3: It's been a struggle for some people, right, but I've
Speaker 3: stuck to my guns. The dick out of here so much.
Speaker 3: Then I moved to Ohio just to get away from
Speaker 3: the traps of the dicko.
Speaker 1: They ain't nobody soning dick tarrolls.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that's I mean, you know, it's happening
Speaker 3: out there, but that's not you know, that's not a
Speaker 3: thing of mine.
Speaker 4: Do you practice like gentle or mild parenting.
Speaker 3: I'm very very mild, very mild and gentle parent. And
Speaker 3: I think that's because I'm an older, older parent. Like
Speaker 3: I think I'm old enough to be my son's grandfather
Speaker 3: and father at the same time. So he's being raised
Speaker 3: with grandfather energy, all that discipline stuff. I don't really
Speaker 3: do that. Like when he was young, he cried, I
Speaker 3: just give him lollipops. I didn't try to give no
Speaker 3: life lessons. I'm like an old head dad. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I got a gentle, kinder parent in style.
Speaker 1: He's eight. Hio is good. I'm gonna roll my little
Speaker 1: want to road than anything. Ohio is great.
Speaker 2: It's my weather day all the time.
Speaker 1: It's my weather. That's why I leave because I need
Speaker 1: to go to more spicy weather. I need to go
Speaker 1: to a climate where they get it from the mud,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: And I gotta Here's the thing about it, I gotta
Speaker 3: keep it real, right, that's what society says.
Speaker 1: But the irony of that.
Speaker 3: When I did Chappelle Show, one of the sketches that
Speaker 3: connect with people residents so much was when keeping real
Speaker 3: goes wrong. So it was a situation I had with
Speaker 3: keeping the real goes wrong. Guess who wrote that me?
Speaker 3: So I knew how keeping it real could go wrong.
Speaker 3: Next question, Next question. There's a lot of things that
Speaker 3: you don't know about Chappelle Show I did. Do you
Speaker 3: know the character beautiful did? I played Beautiful the pimp?
Speaker 3: That not the pimp the Jerry Croll got. What you
Speaker 3: didn't know about this was that character was not on
Speaker 3: the paper. They didn't write that. And this is how
Speaker 3: hateful of a sketch that was. I asked Neil Brittan,
Speaker 3: I said, what's the next sketch I'm going to be on?
Speaker 3: He said, player hate his Ball. So the next day
Speaker 3: I look at the car sheet, which would tell you
Speaker 3: what you planned everything, and I saw that I wasn't naughty,
Speaker 3: and I asked Neil, I said, I was supposed to
Speaker 3: be in a player hater his ball? Why am I
Speaker 3: not player's ball? He said, oh, I'm sorry, be I forgot.
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, he said, we'll just come
Speaker 3: up with something so that character. If you look at
Speaker 3: the original script, he did not exist on it.
Speaker 1: I went home. My hair has been ball for years,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I want to do a different look.
Speaker 3: Everybody know this. I was like, now there's an opportunity
Speaker 3: for me to grow here. So I went to the makeup.
Speaker 3: I said, I want a Jerry Carroll wig. I went
Speaker 3: to props and I said, I want a bottle. I
Speaker 3: want some curl activator, right, but I wanted to be
Speaker 3: in a champagne bottle, but they said that'd be too sloppy.
Speaker 3: So I said, give me an aerosol can wrap it
Speaker 3: around with some platinum gold look or whatever. I'm going
Speaker 3: to do that, right. This was the night before I
Speaker 3: told him that, and then Five Heartbeats was one of
Speaker 3: my favorite movies, so I said, I wanted to be
Speaker 3: dressed like Eddie Kane Jr. If you look at what
Speaker 3: Beautiful was wearing at it almost looked like the da
Speaker 3: You know, it looked like that.
Speaker 1: So I went with that.
Speaker 3: I know this bores you because I'm making sense, So
Speaker 3: you can leave the interview if you want. I see
Speaker 3: you're not making an eye contact. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you're distracted. I'm not focused on me. Can it be
Speaker 3: about me right now? Anyway back to what I was saying, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I said I wanted to Eddie Kinge Jr. Look,
Speaker 3: So this guy was did didn't exist. So I got
Speaker 3: to Jerry Carroll. I got the outfit and everything, and
Speaker 3: I'm walking around and I didn't have a name, and
Speaker 3: I'm looking in the mirror. I didn't have a name.
Speaker 3: I said, Neil, what's this character's name? He said, I
Speaker 3: don't know. Be just make up something. So I walked
Speaker 3: past the mirror and I was like, damn, I feel beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 3: I said, Neil, my name is beautiful. He said, well,
Speaker 3: that's a lie, but it's a funny name, geez. And
Speaker 3: if you look at it. No, everything I said out
Speaker 3: in my mouth was an improv it. That character did
Speaker 3: not exist. That was my contribution that.
Speaker 1: Wow. Can I ask you a real question?
Speaker 2: No, when you got into the I said, no, when
Speaker 2: you got into the mild disagreement, why didn't you leave
Speaker 2: the first time? Why you kept leaving and coming back
Speaker 2: and leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back.
Speaker 1: First off, what you don't understand is that I didn't
Speaker 1: leave and come back. I stay.
Speaker 3: Here's another thing about that situation. That night, there was
Speaker 3: three shows at the last factory, one when it's a
Speaker 3: three day weekend. Since y'all want the fucking truth, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to bash anybody. In fact, I've never one
Speaker 3: time said anything bad about this guy. If you want
Speaker 3: to say his name and promoter, you can, I'll call
Speaker 3: him this guy. I've been called ugly Larry, I've been
Speaker 3: called all this stupid.
Speaker 1: Shit and monny.
Speaker 3: Yo, listen, it's not funny. The reason why it's not
Speaker 3: funny because I know why ain't the best looking nigga.
Speaker 3: When I was fucking fifteen, I looked in the mirror
Speaker 3: and said, this face has to be rich in famous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you didn't have to agree so quick.
Speaker 3: Yes, I certain faces look like you got to add
Speaker 3: something to it, Okay, you know, And what's your question?
Speaker 3: Why did I keep leaving whatever?
Speaker 1: That day?
Speaker 3: I closed three shows, first show, second show, late show,
Speaker 3: at midnight show.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go there.
Speaker 3: I was tired, you know, but I didn't want to
Speaker 3: let Lonnie down shout out to Loney Chock the Factory.
Speaker 1: I wanted to commit to it.
Speaker 3: So I came to the show right and I don't
Speaker 3: mingle with comics. I don't go over there and do
Speaker 3: all the pow wow shit. I don't look at the lineup.
Speaker 3: I just know that I'm gonna go in and call,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go up my name called went up there,
Speaker 3: destroyed the show, ripped the show. But also know that
Speaker 3: I had to make an announcement about my special, and
Speaker 3: I wanted to say something that was real.
Speaker 1: So I had the crowd up here. I could have
Speaker 1: said good night.
Speaker 3: I took it down and I explained what this special
Speaker 3: was meant to me, how it got here, and it
Speaker 3: was a very hard felm.
Speaker 1: If you listened to that video, you could tell people's
Speaker 1: ride with me. I didn't have to. I ain't gotta
Speaker 1: get on standing though.
Speaker 3: Right there, I said, I made my points, and I
Speaker 3: knew I was gonna use this, so I thought that
Speaker 3: they was giving me the light. I'm like, I'm the
Speaker 3: last one. Everybody else's been kind of weak. I was
Speaker 3: wondering why they was stretching it right. I was like,
Speaker 3: for me just to do ten minutes outter people been
Speaker 3: waiting for the room out to make those sense. So
Speaker 3: I did go a little bit over my time. I
Speaker 3: would have my time not knowing that anybody else was
Speaker 3: on the show.
Speaker 1: I thought I was closing.
Speaker 4: They at to get you off the stage for the headline.
Speaker 1: No, there wasn't. You're not paying I'm so focused. Yeah listen.
Speaker 3: Well no, Corey was headlining, right, So I'm I knew
Speaker 3: what off my time, but they would let me do that.
Speaker 3: I didn't do it this long enough. If I want
Speaker 3: to run the light a little bit, I can do it. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm down there at Orleans, right, so I'm leaving. Good night,
Speaker 3: good night. And then they said we got one more
Speaker 3: guests coming up from from the thirty thirty podcasts or
Speaker 3: whatever number it is. Yeah, yeah, And they said blah
Speaker 3: blah blah, And I was like, oh, I want to
Speaker 3: listen to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the reason why I wanted to listen to it,
Speaker 1: I had already wanted to talk to this guy. Why.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you why because I was fed up
Speaker 3: and like a lot of comedians, up with the antics
Speaker 3: of why everything that comes out your month has to
Speaker 3: be negative and shit on people? I wanted to have
Speaker 3: a conversation, not just for me, but for the comedy community.
Speaker 3: Why is it that you always have to talk shit
Speaker 3: about people? And nobody asked you. I could see if
Speaker 3: you go on somebody platform and said what you think
Speaker 3: about so and so? But you volunteering this negative information.
Speaker 3: And you know how close I am with this guy,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, you know how close and with Day
Speaker 3: And he made some comments about Day and you could
Speaker 3: go on your platform and you could say, I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm just telling that you. I'm afraid what is the
Speaker 3: purpose of saying that making a comment? And I understand
Speaker 3: this And I heard you on your podcast or Dave
Speaker 3: he be bombing, all right?
Speaker 1: First off, not you.
Speaker 3: I'm saying I've listened to The Brilliant Dummies or whatever
Speaker 3: the dame and that show is right and like and
Speaker 3: you're like, uh, he'd be bombing. First off, if you
Speaker 3: see Day Chappelle in a comedy like night like d
Speaker 3: ray mondays right, yeah, that he's not in there practicing
Speaker 3: for a special. This is what I was trying to
Speaker 3: make He's not in there. You know why he's in
Speaker 3: there because he's black. He loves black people, and he
Speaker 3: want his Black people to feel that I'm still accessible,
Speaker 3: to feel that I could pop in, to feel like, Yo,
Speaker 3: the guy who is you call a goat still wants
Speaker 3: to hang.
Speaker 6: Out with y'all, which I experienced myself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, before you know what that is and you going
Speaker 3: in there just what people understanding. This is why when
Speaker 3: I asked him about that, he was like, hey, be bombing.
Speaker 3: I was like, it's a workout. It's a workout. Guess
Speaker 3: how you get new jokes by jokes not working. You
Speaker 3: think that Dave Chapelle or anybody it's going to go
Speaker 3: into these nights, especially with the phones running everything, and
Speaker 3: go up there and give you a show that he
Speaker 3: charges five and six.
Speaker 1: Hundred dollars for. He's going up there to do what
Speaker 1: to be Dave?
Speaker 3: To sit up there, They're going to smoke a cigarette
Speaker 3: if you want to, he going up there the chill
Speaker 3: and who are you to sit in the dark with
Speaker 3: the mic?
Speaker 1: What in the dark? The critic like, oh, he ain't
Speaker 1: so and so.
Speaker 3: If you want to, if you really want to test
Speaker 3: the motherfucker to go to an arena show when we
Speaker 3: perform for twenty or twenty thousand people and we set
Speaker 3: the stuff for flame that those rooms are designed for
Speaker 3: people not to be critical.
Speaker 1: That's what those rooms for. But why you let it
Speaker 1: bother you?
Speaker 2: Because you know we've been in those rooms. You know,
Speaker 2: I've seen you in a small venue and I've seen
Speaker 2: you in huge venues.
Speaker 1: I said, we've seen David's Why did I let what
Speaker 1: bother me? But why are you letting what he said
Speaker 1: bother you? Because you know what it is? You know,
Speaker 1: you don't know I'm sensitive. I'm sensitive, okay, and then
Speaker 1: I'm sensitive.
Speaker 6: And then even with you, you know, outside of being sensitive,
Speaker 6: this is a person that always does this shit like
Speaker 6: all the time. You know what I'm saying, It's the
Speaker 6: same thing, And the only way that you can actually
Speaker 6: ever get to him, to talk to him, is if
Speaker 6: you pop up on him. Because even in my experience,
Speaker 6: I mean I'm talking about this person has talked about
Speaker 6: me years and years and years. Try to apologize through
Speaker 6: another comedian, Nah, I don't send me deray to apologize
Speaker 6: to me. I want you to apologize to me as
Speaker 6: a mother because of the ship you said about my son.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, this is win you and then then I
Speaker 1: had to call you.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about block my number out to call you,
Speaker 6: and you answer the phone like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: and then you apologize, And then I would have never
Speaker 6: made those those comments about.
Speaker 1: You had I knew you were a comedian.
Speaker 6: What what that got to do with me being on
Speaker 6: a meeting apologized before he has on the phone, and
Speaker 6: then later and later you get on that mic again,
Speaker 6: on on on the show whatever, on your podcast show,
Speaker 6: which is like the only thing you have, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, and you talk about me, and you
Speaker 6: talk about me, and you talk about So he cannot
Speaker 6: leave our names and the names of the greats in
Speaker 6: the name of the people that he cannot beat on
Speaker 6: a Netflix, on anything else, in any other realm out
Speaker 6: of his mouth.
Speaker 1: He can't do that. So that's all he has is
Speaker 1: that Mike and that Dorna and in that cold corner.
Speaker 3: You know, without anybody being able to respond, without having
Speaker 3: an opinion of anybody. And here's the thing, whether you
Speaker 3: know it or not, it was so many comedians that
Speaker 3: called me and said thank you.
Speaker 1: And going back to your question, is that I look
Speaker 1: at that question. I listen.
Speaker 3: Yes, you asked questions. Back to your point, is that uh,
Speaker 3: him like I'm a good friend. People want to say
Speaker 3: all this ship. Well even with that, he was like
Speaker 3: when I had a special or Dave Chappelle put him on.
Speaker 3: What you don't know is Netflix had already agreed to
Speaker 3: do a special with me, produced by Dave or not.
Speaker 4: So what what if they didn't put you on?
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying, I'm answering like dumb questions. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and just what people don't understand.
Speaker 5: And this is what the lawd to just handing out specials.
Speaker 5: That's the point that are very deserving it.
Speaker 3: That's the point I'm making. But people don't understand that
Speaker 3: any success somebody get hard work. Whatever they want to say,
Speaker 3: you had to do so and so. So you dismissing
Speaker 3: work ethics, you're dismissing going hard, you dismissing god.
Speaker 1: You take people. See, no, I'm not.
Speaker 4: Saying you know, I'm just saying this, but it just
Speaker 4: makes sense.
Speaker 2: It's like if I wanted to do a podcast, right,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't I go to Charlemagne who has his own podcast. Right,
Speaker 2: that's my guy, and he's gonna hopefully look out the
Speaker 2: best interest. Even when I was doing my book, I
Speaker 2: called charlamage and say, yo, these are the terms for
Speaker 2: the book.
Speaker 1: What do you think he's done it before?
Speaker 3: My next question is if you written more than three books,
Speaker 3: did you have to give relationships for three books?
Speaker 1: Or is that just in the book hand out?
Speaker 3: I knew, I knew it was up section hand yo.
Speaker 3: But again going back to it, when I when I
Speaker 3: spoke out and I will do I will do this.
Speaker 3: There's an unwritten move that comedians not supposed to heckle,
Speaker 3: and it wasn't a heckle right when I when I
Speaker 3: said what I said, I felt like I did that
Speaker 3: not just for myself but for so many comedians. That's like,
Speaker 3: enough is enough. It's not gonna change anything. You're gonna
Speaker 3: listen to this and you're gonna figure out how to
Speaker 3: make some content out of this, and you're gonna be
Speaker 3: your respond Yeah, but what are you what is it
Speaker 3: gonna respond to? Just like even when responded what he
Speaker 3: said he ugly and here's the thing you want to
Speaker 3: be Okay, I'm ugly, So.
Speaker 1: Well, Okay, I gotta agree with him on that. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say guess who I'm not trying to impress with
Speaker 1: my looks. You nigga, that you.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Everything with that situation, thank you, everything with that situation,
Speaker 3: Like you're this year that all right? So you're judging
Speaker 3: a man like you looked at me and said, I'm ugly,
Speaker 3: So who's fine to you me?
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 3: If you want to criticize somebody, look like, oh he's ugly,
Speaker 3: So just tell me who you think is fine. So
Speaker 3: that means you you're looking at dudes. But that's when
Speaker 3: you that's when you oh no, no, Donnelle ugly. But
Speaker 3: guess who's fine?
Speaker 1: Y'all? Are you going to say that next? And then
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the day, this interview
Speaker 1: was not supposed to be about this, but at.
Speaker 3: The end of the day.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, please, I'm not well.
Speaker 5: Can the question could you and Corey ever get on
Speaker 5: the same page? I think him and just what was different?
Speaker 5: Because what I need to get on talking about somebody?
Speaker 5: But could you will say this?
Speaker 1: He was with me, he was for me.
Speaker 3: I respected him. You know, everybody don't agree with his
Speaker 3: style of comedy. And I've said this to people before,
Speaker 3: like to be able to have the skill set and
Speaker 3: I say, Patresea O'Neil was like this to have a
Speaker 3: set skill set where you could have people like angry
Speaker 3: wanting to leave, like this is disgusting, and then one
Speaker 3: joke you got him laughing. There's something to be said
Speaker 3: about that dark comedy, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 3: that's why I've always shown that I don't talk to comedians.
Speaker 3: I don't hang out with comedians. He was one of
Speaker 3: the guys that when I see him, I'm like, what's up.
Speaker 3: We would talk, we would talk, we would talk, so
Speaker 3: it was kind of talk. It was kind of interesting
Speaker 3: to me that when this hits like this, let's keep
Speaker 3: it what it is. You know, like the situation you
Speaker 3: would have with him. I was like this, I fight
Speaker 3: you all day. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You talking to me him figuratively speaking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, please please groan.
Speaker 1: Come on, don you're what I.
Speaker 3: Called him, a provocator. It's not gonna work. Let's just
Speaker 3: let the interview stand and say we're not gonna fight.
Speaker 3: We will fight, and you know what he'll how We'll fight.
Speaker 3: We'll fight on success, We'll fight on what we're doing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I know how to beat
Speaker 1: certain people. Just keep just keep going. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't have to do.
Speaker 4: That's the subjective to though.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, Yeah, but I know what he wants.
Speaker 3: He wants, he wants what everybody else has mm hmm.
Speaker 3: But what you're going to do, and then you paint
Speaker 3: the narrative that the only way you can get that
Speaker 3: is to do a certain thing.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do that.
Speaker 3: Work ethics still win. As much as crazy as is.
Speaker 3: Work ethics still win. I remember years ago, it was me,
Speaker 3: we were at the Uptown Comedy Club. You laughed because
Speaker 3: I said that.
Speaker 4: Transition was crazy.
Speaker 1: Let him go.
Speaker 4: Everything sound so sad?
Speaker 3: Okay, so what you said, I'm a walking you're notited
Speaker 3: Negro college from commercial yo white, I'll say, I'll say,
Speaker 3: I'll say, oh man, all right, damn it.
Speaker 1: Years ago this is an example of how you fight.
Speaker 1: Years ago, we were was an Uptown comic club. It
Speaker 1: was me Dave.
Speaker 3: We were in the backstage on in the loading dock area.
Speaker 3: It was me Dave, me Dave, Tracy Morgan Mike Epps
Speaker 3: at that time, Tracy Morgan, for whatever reason, they was
Speaker 3: beefing on each other. Beef go way back, just like
Speaker 3: Tracy Morgan and Mike Epps. All right, they were beef
Speaker 3: on each other right to the point where they was
Speaker 3: getting ready. We were back here on this Lodan doctor
Speaker 3: and they was getting ready to fight. Interesting enough, Dave
Speaker 3: was there and Dave, they was getting ready to go
Speaker 3: at it. And Dave got between both of them and
Speaker 3: he said, yo, don't fight right here. And it was
Speaker 3: a happened to be a TV back in the stage
Speaker 3: right and he pointed to the TV. He said, this
Speaker 3: is where y'all need to fight. Get a TV show.
Speaker 3: Fight with your success. That's why I could go back
Speaker 3: and forth with this with him. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: do that. I'm gonna continue to walk my walk. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna continue to do what I do. And I realized,
Speaker 3: sometimes you gotta let the people fight your battles.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: The fans have spoken. The fans have said, what it is.
Speaker 3: My special is a good special. No, it's a great special.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: All Right, it's a great special. It's a great special.
Speaker 3: When I say that in the sense of what I
Speaker 3: wanted to do, Comedy is subjective to whatever style you like.
Speaker 3: But I tell everybody, even told all my people did
Speaker 3: I work with? I said, people going to be able
Speaker 3: to rageous however they want. I said, well, what you
Speaker 3: can deny is that the special feels good if people
Speaker 3: are watching it. Have you seen any change? And like,
Speaker 3: I know it's only been a week, but have you
Speaker 3: seen any change in like, you know.
Speaker 4: You your career since this came out.
Speaker 3: I feel like the thing that was really in my
Speaker 3: favorite that I've had, I had momentum before this special
Speaker 3: came out. I started seeing my ticket sales. This is
Speaker 3: just from the grinder. I started seeing that, even my
Speaker 3: manager and everything, this is like a two year process.
Speaker 3: And everybody was like when it's special, when a specially
Speaker 3: come out? I said, can we just say my special
Speaker 3: is never coming out?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: I said, let's just work like say it's never gonna
Speaker 3: come out because it's easy to work, and now we
Speaker 3: got a tool to work with. Let's just keep on
Speaker 3: our path of it's never gonna come out, right. But
Speaker 3: what I do know is it's only been like two
Speaker 3: weeks or a week sends out when I did a
Speaker 3: couple of shows. Here's another thing about the Grind and
Speaker 3: the Mud. The day that my special came out, next day,
Speaker 3: I was charted too right following day for people talking
Speaker 3: about he couldn't handle certain rooms. The next day I
Speaker 3: did t I room in Atlanta. Yeah, and that room
Speaker 3: is a room that would destroy you. They weren't even
Speaker 3: thinking about comedy. They was ready wrapping everything when in
Speaker 3: that joint, you know them clubs where you can't have
Speaker 3: a marker read the machine. The fuck you may be
Speaker 3: funny and all that, and for me, maybe I'm weird.
Speaker 3: I could have been like, oh, I'm too good for this.
Speaker 3: It took me back to when I was doing comedy
Speaker 3: the first two years, when every comic was going up there,
Speaker 3: they was bombing and whatever.
Speaker 4: And then we're proud of you doing talking about right now,
Speaker 4: but we're proud of you, and we got you to
Speaker 4: get basket. We got down to a nice gift basket.
Speaker 5: Is to get proud of him. In his new special,
Speaker 5: his new Netflix special, A New Day. We got you
Speaker 5: cause I know you like to cook and I know
Speaker 5: you like to smoke, So we got you something.
Speaker 3: So when I went back to this ghetto room, right,
Speaker 3: but you know I won't say this is my favorite?
Speaker 4: Which one?
Speaker 1: Which one?
Speaker 5: Which one?
Speaker 1: This green one?
Speaker 3: Right?

Speaker 5: got this is good too.
Speaker 4: We have the Peggy's Marinade wing dips straight from Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: You got to to fight at right. This is mild
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 5: And we have a lot of black and mild black
Speaker 5: and black and mild cigars.
Speaker 1: I know you like to smoke.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, donal.
Speaker 1: Okay, anything else? That's it? All right?
Speaker 3: Damn anybody, anybody I wanted to give some gifts. The
Speaker 3: only place somebody go to the bathroom and give me
Speaker 3: a wash rag for somebody's career that's washed up. Do
Speaker 3: you got the hand to show the body wash?
Speaker 1: Do you have something? We do? We have anything washed?
Speaker 4: Are you going to use the product wash? There's some
Speaker 4: good stuff in there.
Speaker 1: We know. We put some thought into that down Now,
Speaker 1: you thought this was going to be a hate gift,
Speaker 1: but it's not. I was not.
Speaker 4: That's not a hate gift.
Speaker 5: I know what you like.
Speaker 1: I like that. That was very good.
Speaker 4: It's thoughtful.
Speaker 1: You like to cook.
Speaker 4: You always cooking in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Right, that's a very bomb.
Speaker 6: It was the last thing I was saying before I
Speaker 6: was interrupted with it, saying it took you back to
Speaker 6: your first two years. When I went back after doing
Speaker 6: the Netflix thing, and I went back to where I
Speaker 6: started in the in the in the gutter. I did
Speaker 6: that show and I felt accomplished with that. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 6: you can say whatever you want, but I can still
Speaker 6: go in there. And what I'll do is I don't
Speaker 6: have a beef, but I will say the thing what
Speaker 6: I was saying earlier. You could talk to me, you
Speaker 6: could be for me as a man. But this is
Speaker 6: the dirty, grimy part is when you start throwing a
Speaker 6: person's family in it, and you've had an experiences like
Speaker 6: this where you came out of your normal self to
Speaker 6: defend your family and.
Speaker 1: Your family, stop it. You know what it is.
Speaker 3: If we're gonna talk about it, talk about I'm not joking. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 3: you know, the greatest comedian in the history of comedy
Speaker 3: said something about my family.
Speaker 4: That's comedian in the history.
Speaker 3: Oh he's not He's not that great. So I was
Speaker 3: thinking about somebody else, you know, had to like when
Speaker 3: I did what I did, And I have a I
Speaker 3: don't have no problem saying I shouldn't have yelled out.
Speaker 3: I don't have no problem saying that. But it was
Speaker 3: just pinned up. But you go on your platform and
Speaker 3: then you want to talk about me. That's cool, your
Speaker 3: looks and everything. You want to bring my family involved.
Speaker 3: You want to involve my family. You want to post
Speaker 3: and I know this stuff is Google, but on your
Speaker 3: platform that's filled with hate. You want to put a
Speaker 3: picture of my family, my baby mother and my son.
Speaker 3: First off, okay, I remember that. That's different. You're that's
Speaker 3: very dirty because now in a negative climate that your
Speaker 3: show is people seeing that they got to be out
Speaker 3: in public. You don't know how people going to react.
Speaker 3: That's the problem. And I was like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to entertain this because it's good stuff going on, but
Speaker 3: I have a problem.
Speaker 1: Keep it fair.
Speaker 3: You want to fuck with me, fuck with me, believe
Speaker 3: that out of it. Have you'all spoke, Nah, I don't
Speaker 3: really have it.
Speaker 6: I don't really, But then you have to understand something too.
Speaker 6: This man doesn't respect his own family, you know, you know,
Speaker 6: he says things like, you know, fuck his daughter, fuck
Speaker 6: his mom, and shit like that. So I at some
Speaker 6: point it's like, there's no making up with a person
Speaker 6: like this, there is no trying to understand, to sit
Speaker 6: down like that type of person needs healing and therapy
Speaker 6: of his own And the thing that's why.
Speaker 1: I said that prayer earlier. The thing is, there is
Speaker 1: no reason too for me to do it.
Speaker 3: I've already started with limited contact, always started with a
Speaker 3: mutual respect. But if you lose respect for me, I
Speaker 3: lose respect for you. And even when I say what
Speaker 3: I say on stage, Now one time did I berate him,
Speaker 3: That one time did I say anything bad about his comedy. No,
Speaker 3: one time I say anything about his family. That one
Speaker 3: time I say anything bad about him.
Speaker 1: I explained to what I am.
Speaker 3: And I know that there's nobody gonna believe that I'm
Speaker 3: a mild comic. There's nobody gonna believe that I'm not.
Speaker 1: So you think here's there's a.
Speaker 4: Lot of people that don't know what you're even talking
Speaker 4: about right now. That's what I'm saying, Like, why he
Speaker 4: got this?
Speaker 1: Go put that on your scorpion.
Speaker 4: Be a whole hour.
Speaker 1: Yes you did. It wasn't we didn't.
Speaker 4: You have a great special called a New Day is
Speaker 4: Netflix right now? Make it a new day, donew.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing this conversation there wasn't. This conversation wasn't
Speaker 3: specific to one's person. There was a conversation about this
Speaker 3: industry and how people move. And like you said, uh,
Speaker 3: it's a new day, it's a new dawn. It's a
Speaker 3: new life for me. And I'm feeling good down there
Speaker 3: rawlins Netflix special. It's still charging on Netflix, and I
Speaker 3: want to say I appreciate this time, appreciate it was
