Speaker 4: have money.

115
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,360

Speaker 3: But wait, there's no fat in there.

166
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: There's no fat, but it's still got It's still got

167
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: an old base. You got to know how to cook

168
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: to do this.

169
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Usually when I get feedback, gets spurn their dish. But

170
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to not give too much feedback.

171
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: Learning.

172
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got to learn. You got to watch, learn, listen.

173
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: That's that's a strength. That's a strength from a woman.

174
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: A woman is the best listening. We can't listen like y'all,

175
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: so you got to do your strength.

176
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: I heard guys listen to solve problems, and women we

177
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: just want to be heard.

178
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: Now people don't know, because if they knew, they would

179
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: do we wouldn't still be searching.

180
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: So we don't know.

181
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: We just we just know what need to be and

182
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: what need to be is what it is. So women

183
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: are way better listeners than us because we have ego

184
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: a woman most of the time have to nurture a child,

185
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: so she can't have as much ego as her because

186
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: the child's with her no matter what. So ego had

187
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: to get out the way because she's like, hold on,

188
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: let me see what the real problem is. Man, be

189
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: like nope, nope. So that's your gift and our gift.

190
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: This provided protecting and anytime we slack over our main thing,

191

Speaker 2: And she got sick on my birthday.

211
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like, how did you handle that as

212
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: a child, Like what was your head thinking?

213
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 4: Oh man, it felt like the world had ended when

214
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: she left. I couldn't believe it. And every song that

215
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: came on the radio felt like it was singing about her.

216
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: It was a difficult song. How did you get here?

217
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: I was thinking that the angels was like heaven, like

218
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 4: you weren't supposed to be here yet. So I took

219
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: everything personal. But the day of her funeral, I remember

220
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: a strength came over me. I looked at everybody and

221
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 4: I started to make myself laugh like I used to

222
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: do her. So that's how I handled it. I always

223
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: handled it through comedy. I always I made myself laugh,

224
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: and I used to make her laugh, even when we

225
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: used to go through stuff. I said, my mama laughed

226
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: so much without even trying. So I started to find comedy,

227
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: enjoying everything. So that's how I handled it. And I

228
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: didn't cry. That's my last time ever crying. I was

229
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 4: at her funeral and I was crying because this is

230
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: when I learned that a man can't cry. I don't

231
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: care what they say, because once a woman to see

232
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: a man cry, I don't care what they say.

233
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: In the back of their mind, they think they're weak.

234
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: I was crying and the girl that was in the

Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you could also say that maybe, like that

243
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: moment was so much trauma that it like there was

360
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: According to your book, I think it showed that you

369
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: were definitely destined to get out of hustling, Like as

370
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: much as you got in, you were focused on getting out.

00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: Okay, And you weren't flashy with it either. You just

394
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: So I'm like this all day now.

395
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 4: I'm real detail because I had to become detailed because

396
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 4: my mom left me at a young age. So I

397
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: had to pick up because a woman is detailed. When

398
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: you got a mother, your mom gonna check the details

399
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: in your life. The father had the main things. But

400
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: with my mom being gone, I had to learn to

401
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: be my own self checker. So I'm like a mom

402
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm just a caretaker for everybody.

403
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: When did you get into your walk with God? Officially?

404
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: Officially? Man like really went to them. I knew of

405
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: them when I was young, at six, I talked to God.

406
00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 4: But when I was twenty twelve, I was twenty. I

407
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: was twenty five years old going on twenty six, and

408
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: I picked up that Bible and I ain't put it

409
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: down ever since. I read the Bible eight times. I'm

410
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: on my night trip. Every time I finished, I started

411
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: back over, read the page a.

412
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: Day and go all the way through it.

413
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 4: So, yeah, twenty twelve, ever since then, I ain't in playing.

414
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: But what was the thing that triggered you to pick

415
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: it up?

416
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: I was winning in the wrong world. I was selling drugs,

417
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: had the reperplies coming. I'm knowing the streets. The girls

418
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: like me, they celebrate me, but I'm like, I know

419
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: they ending to this store. My daddy got caught up

420
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 4: in the streets, my mama got caught up in the streets,

421
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: my uncles and everybody. So I'm like, I'm going to prison.

422
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 4: Because I wasn't on drugs. I knew I was going

423
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 4: to prison, So like, man, I got to this ain't right.

424
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: But then you actually picked up the real Bible. Some

425
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: people go to church when they don't feel right.

426
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, I picked up the Bible because the church

427
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 4: wasn't good advertising. What do you mean now, I ain't

428
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 4: see too many people I knew from what I see

429
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: open church, like going to church and really find the answer.

430
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: So I'm like, man, let me read this for myself.

431
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: So I wanted because as a dope boy, we want

432
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 4: to go to the plug. We don't want to go

433
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 4: through the middle of man.

434
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

435
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 4: So when I used to see the proud stuff there

436
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: in the word, I say, I want to get to

437
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: what he got because he getting what he got, he

438
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: telling to all of us. But this word can't fit everybody,

439
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: all us going to do different things at different times.

440
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: So this, this scripture might hit him more today but

441
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: than me.

442
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: But I had to go pick it off for myself.

443
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: Okay.

Speaker 3: Amen, Amen we go. Okay, you made it a little

560
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: better than mine. But I'm still good on vegan hot dogs.

561
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: I'm good If I never eat a vegan hot dog again,

562
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: I'm straight.

563
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: It's just disappeared quick. It's the texture.

564
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told Katie Katie back there, I was like, Haiti, Yeah,

565
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: them hot dogs just they're.

566
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: Not for me. I want to switch to vegan. I

567
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: wish there was a way I could do it where

568
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: it tastes like the restaurants in La.

569
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: You just got to start live in it.

570
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, eat and live and not living

571
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 4: to eat. I taste buds and train. So if you

572
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: get off food for a minute, matter of fact, when

573
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: you tell your brain you serious about it, it changes.

574
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: Your taste buds for you.

575
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you could trick everybody but your mind. It's

576
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 4: because the only way you trick your mind is do

577
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 4: a substance. That's why I only pick people can trick

578
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 4: their mind is when they do a drug. But if

579
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 4: you're going to be sober, when you're serious about something

580
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: your brain or transform your body for the situation that

581
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 4: you're going to Yeah, so if.

582
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: You really want to do it, but you don't, you

583
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: ain't gonna want to do it because you ain't.

584
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 4: You got to really see the benefits of it, for real.

585
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 4: Nobody don't really see the benefits.

586
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this.

587
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually allergic to red med and officially I can't

588
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: eat pork anymore. So I'm like at this point where

589
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: all I do is I'll eat chicken or fish. But

590
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: but at this point, I do want to switch to vegan,

591
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: but I haven't, Like I said, I don't have the

592
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: culinary background to do it. Ving in La, the vegan

593
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: food out here is amazing, So it's like to go

594
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: from eating that good food. So like, whatever I'm going

595
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: to make, it's going to be hard.

596
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: It's hard.

597
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 4: But we all, like I figured that out, you know,

598
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: we're all allergic to that food. That's why we all

599
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: have a breakout. We think when we go to the

600
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: doctor black, Oh, the doctors, I got to take this.

601
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: It's because our body is allergic to all the food.

602
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 4: So we're just getting medicine for all the simpling.

603
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just saw something on Netflix. I didn't click

604
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: on it, but the guy was like walking through the

605
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: produce aile and he was like, do you see how

606
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: much cross contamination that there is?

607
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: And I was just like, the last thing I want.

608
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: To think about is like choosing vegetables and thinking how

609
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: much contamination is already on it.

610
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but hey, but I tell people, if you gonna

611
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: eat food, enjoy your food. Stop looking at the bad

612
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 4: and feeling guilty about it, because they ain't no use

613
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 4: of you feeling guilty and stretching yourself out.

614
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: If you're gonna eat it, you might as well enjoy it.

615
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: I like knowing the truth.

616
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 4: Well, but I feel you feel I'm just ain't one

617
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: of them vegans. You know, everybody vegans be trying to

618
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: tell every but I'm like, bro, I just live it.

619
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: And some people who follow me they switch it because

620
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: they've seen the results. But it's like that food, man,

621
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: it's a business.

622
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: It's the number one drug.

623
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 4: My boy Translitt told me one time, man a burse

624
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: and I told him that was the hardest version ever spit.

625
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 4: He say, drive throughs are killing more people than drive bys.

626
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: So they got us focused on the wrong thing and

627
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: we change what we put in us the world to

628
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: change because everything is altered, you know. They say the

629
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: they said, now say, whatever food you eat, you get

630
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: the characteristic go to animal. That's why most people got

631
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: anxiety because they eat chicken, because the chicken always looking

632
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 4: a chicken always thinking something. Come to get it, like, oh,

633
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: boy's a black person can come around here and tet

634
00:27:59,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: me up.

635
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: And then a pig is greedy.

636
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: When you eat pork, you never get enough of nothing.

637
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 4: I want to get this much out of this deal.

638
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 4: I want to do this.

639
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: You never stop because a pig never stops.

640
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: Okay. And then when you eat vegan, what happens to you?

641
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: You become a plant because you ain't got the energy.

642
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 4: See a plant vegan is like smoking weed. Weed is

643
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: a plant. It really you get less innery. They say,

644
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 4: you get more energy. No, you don't have time for

645
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: the bs because when you eat a lot of that food,

646
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: they got so many stir bolls and stuff. You have energy,

647
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: too much energy. So it's like giving a child one

648
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: hundred dollars to sending and going to the candy store.

649
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: But when a vegan, you become more like a plant.

650
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 4: You be kind of cool and vibing because you, like,

651
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: I ain't got all the energy to be talking.

652
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: All day and what you're talking about, like you be chilling.

653
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Well, I just hope I have the same swagger when

654
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: I do make this official transition.

655
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be. I want to like learn more

656
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,680

657
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna do it, gonna come to you.

658
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see because I love butter do I like

659
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: cooking everything in butter. But whatever, we'll see, we shall see.

660
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Start with vegetarian, baby, So take me, take me to

661
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: so now that your plate has gotten a good c

662
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: plus at best, had had anything with meat him? No, No,

663
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: I forgot to boil my chicken and the mug. Why

664
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: don't you just get your Let me just say, guys,

665
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I pray for all the women that have to go on.

666
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: A date with Wayne.

667
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm single man.

668
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I have to cook for him, because if I had

669
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: to cook for him, I would just hire a professional

670
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: chef to come to my house and I put it

671
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: in plates like I cooked because I wouldn't even want to.

672
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 2: Deal with it.

673
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: That's why I can't talk that why I can't be

674
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: in no relationship with one woman where.

675
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: You could just be with a chef. I thought that

676
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: was the plan.

677
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,800

00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: women were starting to go towards day. I was an

789
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: entertainment baing, so I'm like, dangn comedy finna be yeah

790
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 4: the thing?

791
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now the comedy on Vine was different than

792
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: your So I always say that influencers are different type

793
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: of comedian than actual comics because a lot of the

794
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: influencers different from the way you tape your stuff is

795
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: they do a lot of edit, so they cut at it.

796
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: You know, the six second clip. That was a very

797
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: hard accomplishment for that type of comedy. But if you

798
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: take those same influencers with the exception of DC, because

799
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: DC is a definite raw talent, with the exception of that,

800
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: and you take those same guys.

801
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: You put them on stage.

802
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: They can't hold as are everybody can't do that stage.

803
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: So instead of looking at what DC was doing online,

804
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: you said, all right, I see him in person and

805
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: he's doing stand up comedy.

806
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: He wasn't even stand up. I was just feeling to

807
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: do online.

808
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: I would oh, you were trying to do online too.

809
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it yet, But that's what sparked me

810
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 4: to go do it on the line online. But you know,

811
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 4: we just went back a little bit to twenty fourteen.

812
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 4: What sparked me to get into it, but what starpd

813
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: me to do stand up? That's what the fans kept

814
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: asking for. At first they was paying me to do

815
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 4: walk Through five thousand and six thousand, but then was like, man,

816
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 4: we want to see why ain't do stand up. I

817
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: was like, oh lord, I don't have a joke to tell.

818
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 4: So that was different. The stand up was different. But

819
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 4: I eventually had to take that chance and I started

820
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 4: hosting first.

821
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Okay, you know it's so funny because I think be

822
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: Simone when she taped us, she said the same thing.

823
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: She said that her fans started kind of saying, hey,

824
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: I'll pay you to do comedy, and she was like, well,

825
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: how much and.

826
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: They offered her.

827
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: She was a shoot, I'll go out there and do

828
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: it and swing it, and then she started getting in

829
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the comedy that way they some what her fans kept

830
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: telling her they liked.

831
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

832
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: So I didn't go out and get it at first

833
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 4: because I knew better, because I didn't want to be

834
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 4: known as not good, because yeah, I want I like

835
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: to stay up.

836
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 3: Okay.

837
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: So but but that stand up man I started. I

838
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 4: was always a comedy fan, so I put I learned.

839
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 4: I learned real quick, though, I figured it out fast,

840
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 4: like I started doing stand up. When I started, I

841
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 4: started May twenty fifteen with the first stand up gig.

842
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: I took like hosting, but by by that July I

843
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 4: had I had forty five minutes and by out of

844
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 4: out of forty five minutes, twenty five. But it was

845
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: real good, so I was I learned fast. Yes, I

846
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 4: learned fast.

847
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: Okay, So then you start booking your own shows from

848
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: there or where it gets out.

849
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: People were calling, people were calling and booking me.

850
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: They were calling and booking me, and I was getting like,

851
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: I'm making like thirty grand a month, but messed.

852
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 3: Around thirty grand a month off a new comic. Well,

853
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: how big was your following at the time?

854
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: Heck of me.

855
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 3: Okay, that's it.

856
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: And then what happened was August twenty sixteen, I got it.

857
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 4: I finally got in the company club and Richmond. I

858
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 4: had to Richmond, Virginia on a Tuesday, and I think

859
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 4: I went to Virginia Beach Funny Bone on the Wednesday.

860
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 4: It was right beside each other, and I made like

861
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: twenty grand. I said, oh my god, I'm about to

862
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: make a million dollars next year. So that motivated me

863
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 4: to really get good. So I was like, I got

864
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 4: to go ahead and get good at another level because

865
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could make this in one week.

866
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: I made twenty grand in one week.

867
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been a game changer for me.

868
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: Now, if I were to be a fly on your wall,

869
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: is your process when you get inspired like that to go,

870
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: oh man, I should do a heavy dive. Are you

871
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: pulling out like whiteboards or.

872
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: Do you have notebooks? Are you keeping notes on your phone?

873
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: Like?

874
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 3: How are you tracking that growth or aiming for that growth?

875
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: In my mind?

876
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so nothing's been written down.

877
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: I never write anything down with in my mind. I

878
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: just had its goal and I see it and I

879
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: focus on it.

880
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: How much a long time do you spend with yourself

881
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: a lot in a day? Like do you is it

882
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: like a necessity to have some quiet time with yourself

883
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: or is it like you're always surrounded because even pulling

884
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: up here, you had like four people with you.

885
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 4: Even on with people, they know I'm not really there.

886
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 4: That's why they all check on everything. They don't allow

887
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 4: me to do nothing because everybody know I'm not really You're.

888
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: Not really fully present.

889
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm not present. Okay, I'm never praisent. I'm always in

890
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: my head.

891
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I can get that also.

892
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So now that your career, your comedy career is

893
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: starting to take off, you're doing well, you have your

894
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: clubs going into the pandemic or they're nah, I've.

895
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: Been counseling them twenty sixteen, I let them go.

896
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: Did you cancel them because they weren't doing well or

897
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: they were starting to be like not worth the money,

898
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: not not.

899
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: Worth the money because people started fighting shooting there, and

900
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: when I wasn't there, I didn't want that.

901
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: I didn't want those problems.

902
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: So it was like risk versus reward wasn't worth it.

903
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't worth it, Okay, So then pandemic happens.

904
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: Pandemic happened, game changed.

905
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: Tell me about it.

906
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: I went to social media because the stand up stop.

907
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 4: So I'm on this journey from stand up twenty fifteen,

908
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 4: sixteen seventy to eighteen nineteen twenty and then bam, it

909
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 4: took away from me. Yeah, so now I'm back to

910
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: where I was in the beginning. I gotta figure this out.

911
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Now comedy comes to a complete hope. But your videos

912
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: at the time, how much money were they generating?

913
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: None when the pandemic first hit. So I started it

914
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 4: and then like pending Me hit in March that May,

915
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: I made like twenty seven thousand.

916
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Off social social Okay, but that was your first chick Okay.

917
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 3: How did it just happen in March like that? Did

918
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: you just monetize the channels at that point.

919
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: Or I was about to start monetizing before the pandemic,

920
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: But when the pandemic hit, I put it. I sped up,

921
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: I sped up the processing. I started taking the serious

922
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 4: because I had to. Yeah, you know, that money kept

923
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: going up, and I seen the money. I was like, oh,

924
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 4: this is the easiest money ever made because it's residual.

925
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 4: You shoot the video, you put them up. You making

926
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: it like I'm making money while I'm talking right now.

927
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 4: So you know, we grew that thing from it was

928
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: making twenty seven thousand, and it went to four that.

929
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: Then it went to sisty.

930
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 4: Then I made a hundred, then it went to one

931
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,040

946
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 4: care my family. I got all my family off straight.

947
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 4: Because I thought about it. I said, either I save

948
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 4: this money and don't give them as much as I

949
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 4: give them and lead them in their environments. I say,

950
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: but if something happened to me and something happened to them,

951
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 4: the every dollar I got won't be worth it. So

952
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: I snatched my whole family and put them in a

953
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: bier the environment, so everybody stay around me.

954
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 2: The house is I did that first.

955
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: And when you say your family, you're not talking about

956
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: the family that you came from. You're talking about the

957
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: family that you also created, or you talking about both.

958
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 4: Both, Like my brother's the god you see me with

959
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: and my real brothers. Mike he became my brother, he

960
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 4: and my blood brother. But between first it was my family,

961
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 4: my brothers, my sisters, my baby mamas, my my kids,

962
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 4: just everybody who connected to that nucleus.

963
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: First.

964
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: Then I started meeting people like Mike Bred, Terry Amy.

965
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Just people that I want

966
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 4: to keep in my life forever. I'm like, man, you know,

967
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: I just I just it's like they because I learned

968
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 4: to grow a business, you got to have people.

969
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a lot of people underestimate that HR

970
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: is the it's actually should be number one in any organization,

971
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: like your team, your people. I always tell people, if

972
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: you find a good person, like my team, knows like

973
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: they ain't leaving. I'll be like before with any discussions,

974
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: like they get first steps on anything they want, and

975
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: they should always feel comfortable come to me first because

976
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: I'm very open about how I feel about them. And

977
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: then the ones that I do want to get rid

978
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: of it, it don't take me too long to get rid

979
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: of them.

980
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm very straightforward.

981
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: Like me too, I get rid of somebody now. I

982
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,120

Speaker 4: just I ain't got time to be out here playing

985
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 4: because money does things for people.

986
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm fine.

987
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 4: But the fact that my family and people, man, we

989
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,960

00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: the Internet comic can really stand on the stage and

1005
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,840

00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 3: you already like secretly.

1045
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 4: My agency told me I'm gonna write a book. They say,

1046
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,600

1048
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,880

Speaker 4: But then we had to go back and write the book.

1053
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 4: That's a long process.

1054
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: Okay, But did you sit around and actually write it

1055
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,239

Speaker 4: and me on like friends. Now he talks so much.

1059
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 4: I probably never write a book again.

1060
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: You know what, though, I will say this though, when

1061
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: you read the book, it does read like that you

1062
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: and uh, I like your book. I'm gonna say that

1063
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't really a big fan of Kevin Hart's book

1064
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: because I just couldn't stand the way they wrote it,

1065
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: Like you know, some books it's like that.

1066
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: It was just it felt like he was talking to

1067
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: me a little too.

1068
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: Much, and I was like, man, I wish y'all would

1069
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: have just put a little bit more of a writer's touch.

1070
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: But on your book, it's a good balance. I like it.

1071
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you give women a lot of credits, so it's.

1072
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: Hard not like that, and we ain't nothing without women.

1073
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: They all everything.

1074
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,520

Speaker 4: already I never looked at nobody and they skin heard

1101
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 4: me a comedy. I don't look. When I was rapping

1102
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 4: and I heard your third rap, they all it was

1103
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: that passed me the hookah. He rolled the beat so good.

1104
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't want to be no rapping no more.

1105
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 4: Like I'm gonna out of the way. And I said, God

1106
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 4: that you hit the guys wrap for comedy. Bro, I

1107
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 4: just one thing, nobody never putting no car I knew

1108
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 4: how funny. I knew how fun I was. Yes, I

1109
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 4: just knew. I just that comforting. I ain't gonna lie

1110
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 4: and and people took it as arrogance. A lot of

1111
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 4: comedians like, I'm gonna make him earn it because he

1112
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 4: don't go to nobody and ask nobody for nothing. It's

1113
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 4: a few that reached out, you know what I'm saying,

1114
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 4: shout out and said you're entertainer. He was one of

1115
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 4: the ones that just reached out. First I went on tour,

1116
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 4: Mike Elks, you know what I'm saying. Kevin Hart told

1117
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 4: me straight up, he said, he said, I'm a fan

1118
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 4: of you and you're hustle, but I can't be a

1119
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 4: fan of you, ye because I haven't seen your stand up.

1120
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

1121
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: And when the stand up dropped.

1122
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 4: I started to tell him like, oh, no, you're a

1123
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 4: fan now, hey, but I just I just knew, man,

1124
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: I just knew.

1125
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 3: So I know that the industry.

1126
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: It's funny because I'll get different different walks of life

1127
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: in here, and you can definitely hear an overwhelming sound

1128
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: of the industry not respect influencers. And it's weird because

1129
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm friends with both sides and I'm like, influencers,

1130
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: bless you. Influencers work extremely hard. But the is the

1131
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: the I guess stereotype because I'm missing. The word that

1132
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: I want to use is that you guys just have

1133
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 1: it so instant.

1134
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 2: And that's true.

1135
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 4: That's true though, that's true, and it's like I get

1136
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 4: what they're saying, but they got to pick. They can't

1137
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 4: say about everybody because if you watch Country Wayne, I

1138
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 4: did something different online than everybody.

1139
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: I didn't do these little short clips.

1140
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: No, you did like I do.

1141
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: I still got to and it's still going on.

1142
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 4: Everything in it don't add like I ain't it, And

1143
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 4: I know that That's why my comfort I have to

1144
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: be my own confidence because nobody won't see it when

1145
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: you the truth.

1146
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: The people ain't gonna never speak about the truth.

1147
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure once the special drops, people are definitely

1148
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna be.

1149
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 2: Man, they still gonna try to be silent.

1150
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 4: But you it's like one thing about it though, where's

1151
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 4: fargo talk men and live women. Lot numbers don't lie,

1152
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 4: so the money ain't gonna lie.

1153
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: So it's like I.

1154
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 4: Don't really care for real to get people created of

1155
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 4: God and told me what I am. When I need

1156
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 4: to work on something God like you work on that,

1157
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 4: I don't look like when I first started as a comedian, like,

1158
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 4: oh I ain't that good yet. I look at Laville Crawford.

1159
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: I can't do what he doing yet I was working.

1160
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 4: But I'm like, they never gonna be the real one.

1161
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 4: It's never gonna get the real credit from because it's

1162
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 4: like if you call out the real it exupposed to

1163
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 4: everybody who ain't working.

1164
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1165
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: So when you when you real good, when you.

1166
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 4: Real, real good at something, you have to be your

1167
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 4: own cheerleader because if you too good, if you at

1168
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 4: that level where you just too too much good about you,

1169
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 4: it's too much talk. And people kind of like my

1170
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 4: fan base when you go on my comments, it's like

1171
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 4: we love Wayne. It's like it's like this thing, people like,

1172
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 4: why he getting treated like that? So that's gonna come

1173
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 4: with jealousy and to be honest when you're committ when

1174
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 4: you anybody, if girls like you, that's what it's all about.

1175
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 4: It it's the women when women like you, bro, and

1176
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 4: you the dude that when you come around, women kind

1177
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: of be like, well, women want my brothers.

1178
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: Every guy that with me.

1179
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 4: It is just everybody knows I got the women like

1180
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: me and comedians and when you're a comedian, they never

1181
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 4: seen the comedian really move like that. So it was

1182
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 4: a lot of hate and jealousy. But I dealt with

1183
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 4: that in high school. I fought in high school all

1184
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 4: the time about the same situation. So what I learned

1185
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 4: to do in this I'm like, brouh, I got no women,

1186
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 4: so y'all can hate all y'all want, because the women

1187
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 4: secretly support me. Ye anyway, So I didn't really That's

1188
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 4: why the name My Special was a woman's prayer, because

1189
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 4: if I wasn't that good, everybody be pushing me because

1190
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 4: it's safe. It's like when a girl the guy she

1191
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: don't like, she could be friends with him. It's like

1192
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 4: that's my we cool but the guy that kind of

1193
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 4: make her get that little butterflies. Oh it's it's like, yeah,

1194
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 4: so you know this game for me, it been personal,

1195
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna keep like that. I'm gonna stay on

1196
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 4: everybody nick And they don't know that I was competitive.

1197
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 4: That's what they didn't know about me if they were

1198
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 4: the people I keep notes. So everything somebody do to

1199
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 4: me and they deal with, I go vegan, I drink

1200
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 4: water because of competition.

1201
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 3: I don't understand that.

1202
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, see that what I'm saying, I'm crazy. But basically,

1203
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 4: I work on myself so much for this. I'm preparing

1204
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 4: myself for with the competition of what I do. That's

1205
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 4: the reason why I get my rest, That's the reason

1206
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 4: why I don't because I want to be the best

1207
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 4: at what I do period. So everything I do, I'm

1208
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,479
Speaker 4: serious about that. Like I'm in coming to the club

1209
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 4: sneaking around getting another.

1210
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: Set ready for this next special.

1211
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah you know what I'm saying, I ain't gonna like

1212
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 4: it's just I move like that because it be I'm

1213
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 4: a friendly person when I meet people, like hey, how

1214
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 4: you doing, But then I feel that like are you

1215
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 4: moving like that?

1216
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: All right? You on my list?

1217
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 4: You on my list, you on my listen, you on

1218
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 4: my listen, you on my list, and I'm never gonna

1219
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 4: take my foot off your nick so it and it's bad.

1220
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 3: I consider you self made well. I think it's very

1221
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: obvious yourself made came from nothing, literally nothing. What advice

1222
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 3: would you give to someone else that's coming from that

1223
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 3: same situation but maybe doesn't feel they have the natural

1224
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 3: talents because I think some of your talent may be

1225
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: a little natural. I think charisma can be a little

1226
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 3: more natural natural.

1227
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 4: Nobody's not going to help you, and don't look for somebody.

1228
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 4: Find God in yourself, because God is in everybody you know,

1229
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 4: and you know I.

1230
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: Believe in Jesus.

1231
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 4: If you don't believe in Jesus, just believe in yourself

1232
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 4: at least, and you got to find that thing in

1233
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 4: you that's gonna If you don't got the natural talent,

1234
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: you might got the natural build to work harder than

1235
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 4: this man, do everything you can, and God to do

1236
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 4: the risk, because nobody is truly really going to help you,

1237
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 4: because when somebody do help you, it's gonna cast so

1238
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 4: much interest. In the end, you don't even want to help.

1239
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: And when you move and you know that you're gonna

1240
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 4: panic and be like, hold up, if a person not

1241
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 4: with me, they truly against me. And when you think

1242
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 4: that it's not, but it's not make you mad or

1243
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 4: get a gun and hurt somebody.

1244
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 2: Know it gonna make you move different. Let me look

1245
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 2: out for me. Let me not I ain't gonna take

1246
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: too many drinks. Let me get me some rest.

1247
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 4: Let me do everything I can control, because I can't

1248
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 4: get a million dollars over night all the time. I

1249
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 4: can't get ten million dollars. But now let me set

1250
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 4: my bindaries. I know me so okay, I ain't finna

00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,600

00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,440

Speaker 4: somebody needs some.

1291
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:19,920
