Speaker 4: Course that's what the situation could you I could like it.
Speaker 4: I like it because sometimes that's all it is out
Speaker 4: there is the situation. You don't even nothing on that course.
Speaker 4: You're just like I'm golfing today.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 4: That's the big that's my that's my movie more than anything,
Speaker 4: is to drip. You know, you got a nice bag.
Speaker 4: You out there, you hit a couple of good balls, cigar,
Speaker 4: you pull up with the music, you know, that's what
Speaker 4: you when you see me golf and that's usually what
Speaker 4: you see.
Speaker 1: You never really see me.
Speaker 3: So you hit the ball, golf cart like a Harley
Speaker 3: with the speakers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, put it with the loud, you know, just
Speaker 4: playing zapp they be going before. Yeah, they they be
Speaker 4: on it on the Hardy's loud as hell.
Speaker 1: That's a relationship though, is that you the golf course?
Speaker 4: Yeah, golf course always got the music popping in until
Speaker 4: they tell you to turn it down. If you had
Speaker 4: a really good course, then it's gonna be a moment
Speaker 4: where you got to.
Speaker 5: Be like, they don't care about none of that entertainer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want to hate everybody. Cool out.
Speaker 3: But then as soon as they leave, I turned back up.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Are you making deals
Speaker 3: on the golf course? It's just deal doing on the golf.
Speaker 1: It is a degree of deal making out there.
Speaker 4: Not like the old days though, yeah, the old days,
Speaker 4: because I mean, you know, but you know, it's a
Speaker 4: part of the it's a part of.
Speaker 1: The kind of camaraderie of it. All. Right.
Speaker 4: You get you go you play golf with somebody that
Speaker 4: you don't really know. You go out there y'all kind
Speaker 4: of chit chat. You talk, you become friendly, and then
Speaker 4: it's used on the nineteenth hole, which is where you
Speaker 4: drink and sit around and talk.
Speaker 1: Is where you do a little bit more business because.
Speaker 4: If you playing, it ain't really a lot of time
Speaker 4: to be doing the chit chatting, especially if they moving
Speaker 4: you along the course. Yeah, but you know, like if
Speaker 4: you're in the cart with somebody, you riding and somebody
Speaker 4: knew that, you can start, you know.
Speaker 1: Chumming it up.
Speaker 4: But that's the that's kind of the move what everybody does,
Speaker 4: because literally you got four hours sitting with somebody, so
Speaker 4: if you get in the cart with them, you just
Speaker 4: try to be like, all right, what's going on with
Speaker 4: your business?
Speaker 1: And then you try to figure out how you you know,
Speaker 1: make make a deal out of it.
Speaker 3: But it ain't quite like that. Everybody like that's why
Speaker 3: I play. I'm still I can still play basketball. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well see, but my knee is still good, and I
Speaker 3: feel like golf.
Speaker 1: Is everybody I know over the thirty.
Speaker 3: I'm in the league. Man, got a game tonight's a
Speaker 3: bye week. It's a bye week. We've only lost one game,
Speaker 3: so we get a five.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's good man going to the playoffs and
Speaker 4: so yeah, playoffs as soon. You know, the march madness
Speaker 4: of it all. It's probably probably a big, huge in
Speaker 4: a mural situation going on it.
Speaker 1: You know. It used to be the entertainment leagues though,
Speaker 1: and all that stuff that was really big. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was real, real thing. What we're doing.
Speaker 4: Dudes was extra serious, dog like they was like very
Speaker 4: serious and and brothers was blowing their knees out.
Speaker 3: It wasn't We had trainers and everything that you could
Speaker 3: get taped, you get stretched, you had your official uniforms.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, every NBA was there. What happened kind of
Speaker 1: just face. I think somebody ran off with the money.
Speaker 3: No, what happened was always one you know, it lifted
Speaker 3: it faced.
Speaker 6: You always character and because like NBA didn't see the
Speaker 6: value on us anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 4: And then yeah, and then and then you stopped seeing
Speaker 4: that kind of that camaraderie at the whole games and everything,
Speaker 4: because there used to be that we used.
Speaker 1: To do the games for them, the NBA game we
Speaker 1: would do.
Speaker 3: It would be a crew of us that would do
Speaker 3: like you know, Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, all these different games

Speaker 3: this this star, and I'm gonna have a podcast, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna have Albums'm gonna have I was just playing in
Speaker 3: the hood, in the neighborhood. Yeah, and that was and
Speaker 3: going to church, and that was that was what I
Speaker 3: thought life was going to be at any point early on,
Speaker 3: you know, as you're growing up in Saint Louis, does
Speaker 3: it ever cross your mind that I'm going to be
Speaker 3: a king of comedy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I mean I always wanted to entertain, Like when I
Speaker 4: was little, while I had this thing, you know, the
Speaker 4: TV show fame was our coming, and so I remember
Speaker 4: I had the ability as a youngster to do all
Speaker 4: these things.
Speaker 1: I could dance, I could sing, I would act.
Speaker 4: I was and I would tell my mother I was like,
Speaker 4: you know, the braids though like Leroy, not quite bleag womans,
Speaker 4: but I definitely had the braids. But I had the fauehead,
Speaker 4: you know. I always had this family forehead that was
Speaker 4: like a little past too much for braids.
Speaker 1: You know. It was just like, hey, there's never been
Speaker 1: nothing there.
Speaker 4: No, that's always been like it always started off.
Speaker 1: I always had a little in the back. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So so anyway, but I but I, but I did
Speaker 4: man and so I used to My mother was a
Speaker 4: school teacher, so I used to try to convince her
Speaker 4: that let me perform more, you know, and she just
Speaker 4: you know, she was from that educational background.
Speaker 1: So it was hard.
Speaker 4: So I ain't really discovered that I can really do
Speaker 4: it until after when I went to college.
Speaker 1: I sang in some groups. Then I got a radio show.
Speaker 3: You can't you can't just go sanging group, tell us
Speaker 3: the name you can come home, man, I know you remember,
Speaker 3: don't do this.
Speaker 1: Man we had like it was even a dope name dog.
Speaker 1: It was the Alderman.
Speaker 4: What we lived alter We lived on all de Men
Speaker 4: and so we lived on the street called Alder So
Speaker 4: we was the Alderman. And it was like just kind
Speaker 4: of this like the men, the Men of alder Yeah.
Speaker 1: It don't matter how much you shrug like, you know.
Speaker 4: So he was on all these you know, like Alderman
Speaker 4: was a political thing and so we was all we
Speaker 4: felt like that made us regal, y'all nice.
Speaker 1: He's pretty nice though. Yeah. We had a nice harmony.
Speaker 1: You know. We used to do the little Ray Goodman
Speaker 1: and Brownjo. No.
Speaker 4: That was another dude to sing I am my little yeah,
Speaker 4: just yeah, just because I always wanted to sing lea.
Speaker 4: But he was, you know, he was the light skinned
Speaker 4: dude and the girls loved him. I was dark back then,
Speaker 4: the dark dude always had to go on the back,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So I just I'd say
Speaker 4: mainly based, but then I would jump out because I
Speaker 4: had a Luther thing that I could do, okay, and
Speaker 4: when I would hit the Luther Jong, then come on,
Speaker 4: turn loose.
Speaker 1: Shine, excuse me, let me get this.
Speaker 4: The singer y'all had to deal and then we were
Speaker 4: we would have grown. But dude, dude definitely had the
Speaker 4: better vocals. You had to give it to him like
Speaker 4: he had to. He had to range and he could,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: He Gerald Gerald, Gerald, Germ's dope. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, like to this day, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, Gerald, Man, it took my girl and
Speaker 1: everything walking through the point shot with Gerald.
Speaker 3: It's always a girl that breaks up the group. Oh
Speaker 3: always never lasts up the group. So you got the
Speaker 3: singing group and grow up and now you're starting.
Speaker 4: To so so now I'm believing in it, you know so,
Speaker 4: but you know again, you like you say, you mid West,
Speaker 4: you don't really believe you're gonna go You.
Speaker 1: Ain't gonna go Therry.
Speaker 4: You know, you don't see it, you know, until like
Speaker 4: then the comedy started to pop off, and then it
Speaker 4: became a little bit more familiar, like when Robert Townsend broke,
Speaker 4: you know, because first it used to be like only
Speaker 4: people that was on like Johnny Carson, right these was
Speaker 4: big comedians and Richard Pryor and you know Bill Cosby,
Speaker 4: legendary comedians.
Speaker 1: So you didn't see yourself in that group.
Speaker 4: And then when Robert Townsend kind of hit right before,
Speaker 4: right before the death, comedy jam erat Robert Townsend used
Speaker 4: to have these specials and you start to see people
Speaker 4: like Damon Waams and Tommy and late legendary Robin Harris.
Speaker 4: So these was the people that you you go like,
Speaker 4: all right, now it's a little bit more like what
Speaker 4: I understand, And now you start to believe a little bit.
Speaker 4: And then you know, then you go to the comedy club,
Speaker 4: met Steve Harvey. You start to meet people. How do
Speaker 4: you get into comedy? Like, how do you even Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm in say, look, I'm working at State Farm. I'm
Speaker 4: the original Jake. I'm like, I'm a claims adjuster. I
Speaker 4: got a job. I got to you know, I'm wearing
Speaker 4: the khakis. I'm a work, you know, adjusting cars. Like
Speaker 4: you know, like somebody have a wreck, I come out,
Speaker 4: you know, all right, man, it's gonna take two weeks.
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix that? Are you that guy? A little bit?
Speaker 1: For sure? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4: Like, I was definitely funny at my job, but I
Speaker 4: also was a pro you know what I mean? So
Speaker 4: you know, but you know that that kind of really
Speaker 4: led to it. And then it was a friend of
Speaker 4: mine that was a stand up. This dude was doing
Speaker 4: stand up and he come back and be like, yo,
Speaker 4: now I made eleven hundred this week and I made
Speaker 4: fourteen hundred last week, like doing what like I'm doing jokes.
Speaker 4: He was like, you can do it, and he signed
Speaker 4: me up for a comedy competition, helped me work on
Speaker 4: my little set and the first time I ever did it,
Speaker 4: I won five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: First first time it was only five minutes, just like
Speaker 3: a new thing, you know, like new, you're the new guy.
Speaker 3: You go up, you do like five seven minutes whatever.
Speaker 3: But he he helped me shape the whole thing with
Speaker 3: stuff that I would be saying.
Speaker 1: He was like, do that, do that, Joe, do this
Speaker 1: thing you do right here? Do that, do that over here,
Speaker 1: do this right here.
Speaker 4: So he has a pro knew how to help me
Speaker 4: shape what it was. So but because I had been
Speaker 4: in groups and did plays and stuff like that. I
Speaker 4: didn't have no stage fright, so I had I had
Speaker 4: a little bit more of advantage and not being like
Speaker 4: afraid to go perform. So you know, even though I
Speaker 4: was afraid to do comedy, but I wasn't scared of
Speaker 4: being on the stage. So I just was able to
Speaker 4: kind of go up there. And it definitely was far
Speaker 4: more advanced than the than people that was in because
Speaker 4: it was a rookie competition. Yeah, it was like all rookies.
Speaker 1: No, I had never done a stand up. I had
Speaker 1: never done He had a joke coordinator who looked down
Speaker 1: the top.
Speaker 4: He had to walk he over, like, tell you put
Speaker 4: out of that joke, can go with the McDonald's. What
Speaker 4: else is going on?
Speaker 1: Is that happened? Let somebody give you know when somebody
Speaker 1: in your That's the thing about it.
Speaker 4: When you on you as a stand up, that's the
Speaker 4: only one man, truly, when you on stage and a
Speaker 4: stand up, you ain't got no help, bro, like you
Speaker 4: just it ain't no ain't no weak side help. Like
Speaker 4: if that joke start going bad, if they lose the crowd,
Speaker 4: it's only up to you to dig him out. You
Speaker 4: can't get a drum or something you can't drummer, can't
Speaker 4: get a drummer. Yeah, let will Willy do something.
Speaker 1: Have you had those bomb nights though? Help you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had to have. You had to have a couple
Speaker 1: of those if you ain't.
Speaker 4: You know, stand up is definitely not a you know,
Speaker 4: it's not a not a week man every it's definitely
Speaker 4: excited antipic where it looks just because you rocket, you'll
Speaker 4: kill it every time. Definitely had some nights where they's
Speaker 4: you know, it went horribly wrong where you just up
Speaker 4: there like, damn this shit crazy, like I usually kill
Speaker 4: like I mean, I did it in front of a big,
Speaker 4: big crowd in New York one time, like big, you know,
Speaker 4: and New York is wanting place that intimidate you anyway
Speaker 4: with but it was but it was like, but this
Speaker 4: was a corporate New York crowd.
Speaker 1: So it's even different.
Speaker 4: And I'm in there, you know, I see all the
Speaker 4: corporate suit guys, and then so I switch up, you know,
Speaker 4: I threw all my white voice and hey, guys, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm telling jokes completely out of order, you know, like
Speaker 4: you know, out of tone. I've got this extra high
Speaker 4: ass pitch ship ain't landing, I mean hawk like going wrong.
Speaker 4: And then Steve Harvey was there. Steve went up and
Speaker 4: cuts everybody out and they dying. He with the you know,
Speaker 4: with the straight Steve look y'all country.
Speaker 1: Ass, letting they ass have it. They dying. He was like,
Speaker 1: dog never changed for them, don't ever change.
Speaker 3: You just go up there. If you die as you
Speaker 3: then that's one thing. But don't die trying to be
Speaker 3: what you think they.
Speaker 1: Want you to be. Right.
Speaker 4: That was the biggest lesson I have And that was
Speaker 4: early too in my career. Like, so that was one
Speaker 4: of those things I always tell young comedians that, like,
Speaker 4: you just go up there and be yourself dog.
Speaker 1: If it worked, and then you're gonna you know, you keep.
Speaker 4: Working it, but don't try to don't try to fix it.
Speaker 4: You know, like think you're looking at the room, like,
Speaker 4: oh man, it's a seemed like a bunch of Republicans

Speaker 4: and get through the night and fuck them.
Speaker 1: Save your ship. Yeah, you get your first five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah though, and drake with me, Yeah that's a Missouri ship.
Speaker 1: You got five Let it be.
Speaker 8: Now then easy yeah, easy, You're buying out of the
Speaker 8: bar and and what is what is the next milestone
Speaker 8: for you?
Speaker 1: Probably so then you know, so I get, I get
Speaker 1: what it was. What it was called. It was a
Speaker 1: run like that you can book.
Speaker 4: It was a comedy club circuit where you know, you
Speaker 4: kind of work in the city, work around, but if
Speaker 4: you can book this comedy club. Funny Bones was a
Speaker 4: big comedy club and they had twenty two clubs around
Speaker 4: the country and if you book them, you can you
Speaker 4: can go twice a year.
Speaker 1: They put you on the circuit. That was enough to
Speaker 1: quit my job. So you work to get on that.
Speaker 1: So that was it. I booked that.
Speaker 4: But within the first year of doing that, Death Comedy
Speaker 4: Jam came on the air. Black Comedy started to take off,
Speaker 4: and then I just I jumped off that. Probably in
Speaker 4: the second half of that run, I was on the
Speaker 4: Black Comedy train as a top dude. Like because people, yeah,
Speaker 4: people hear about Yeah, that happened pretty fast, Like I
Speaker 4: mean you know that that that was probably within a
Speaker 4: three year period, you know what I'm like, Yeah, but
Speaker 4: it was fast, you know for stand ups, you know,
Speaker 4: but uh, but I used to have a regular night
Speaker 4: so I had a lot of jokes because I was
Speaker 4: a host of you know of a black Night in
Speaker 4: the Loop, like you know where the where the dope
Speaker 4: boys come and pay you and they you know, the
Speaker 4: dope boy spots be you know, you'd be getting rich
Speaker 4: in there because.
Speaker 1: We all have experienced the bag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they just fu it does and people like
Speaker 4: you know, you think about like the old Rich Briar,
Speaker 4: like the gangsters.
Speaker 1: The Mansters used to do them.
Speaker 4: But then in the eighties we had like all you know,
Speaker 4: we had just the street boys that be like wanting
Speaker 4: to have a good time. They ay Man come to
Speaker 4: the spot dog right, you know, talk about Little Rock
Speaker 4: Little Rock Ruck.
Speaker 1: You know, like yeah, was throwing stack some money. I'm
Speaker 1: on the stage. You're feeling like a stripper. But you picking.
Speaker 4: They laughing and having a good time. They just that's
Speaker 4: they wearing showing appreciation. You was like beg so yeah
Speaker 4: that was like big that was big love. And then
Speaker 4: then uh, the Steve Harvey Show came. Like well I
Speaker 4: had won like some I did like Deaf Comedy Jam
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, But then Steve Harvey Show came
Speaker 4: and that's when you know, you started to really be
Speaker 4: pulled into Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Did you guys have a friendship already before.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, yeah, we I met him and he used
Speaker 4: to have a club in Dallas and he was like
Speaker 4: a mentor, Like he was one of those guys like
Speaker 4: I got the Dallas got stuck, you know, I was
Speaker 4: down there. I went to go do another comedy club.
Speaker 4: And when I got there, they didn't they didn't use
Speaker 4: opening acts from out of town or something. They was
Speaker 4: like they had made it up. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 4: but they was like, from my understanding that it wasn't
Speaker 4: gonna be two black comics on the show at one time.
Speaker 4: So what happened was it was a The dude that
Speaker 4: became the headliner was a black dude. And then I
Speaker 4: showed up, and then they didn't know. I guess Cedric
Speaker 4: didn't know. Didn't sound like very authentically black to them
Speaker 4: at the time.
Speaker 1: So I drove. I was you entertained, Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what. I'll tell you what you might you might
Speaker 1: you might want get back in your vehicle. Why is
Speaker 1: it always not your car hit up around?
Speaker 4: Tell ned, I can't believe it A little bit. Man
Speaker 4: is always back to the back to tell mad.
Speaker 1: We got he's born racist, he's born we got too
Speaker 1: many black? Yeah, too many. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Tell you it's a ratio. That's a I may not know.
Speaker 1: You drove all the way here, but sticks so you're stuck,
Speaker 1: stuck in text. The thing is I was dating this girl.
Speaker 1: She was a flight attendant. So yeah, and it's funny
Speaker 1: because well it was tough too, but I had a girl.
Speaker 1: She she was there. Steve was just opening his little
Speaker 1: he had a comedy night. He had a thing popping off.
Speaker 1: And then I went by there just each night.
Speaker 4: And then, you know, I knew him through another comedia,
Speaker 4: so I just was trying to go up at night,
Speaker 4: you know. And then so then I was you know,
Speaker 4: I would go up after the headline and just do
Speaker 4: like two three minutes. I was killing it, and I
Speaker 4: told him my problem, you know, my situation. Steve gave
Speaker 4: me two hundred to get home and then booked me
Speaker 4: to come back, and it gave me my first time
Speaker 4: I ever made a thousand dollars doing comedy goods.
Speaker 1: Harvey did that.
Speaker 4: Like put me in and gave your flight because you
Speaker 4: used to drive like in the comedy club service you
Speaker 4: had to drive everywhere like old Spain. In the Midwest,
Speaker 4: we had a lot of places. Milwaukee was a place, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis.
Speaker 4: You would drive and go get loose, like you know,
Speaker 4: if you're willing to drive eight seven hours, you can
Speaker 4: go get some money. Detroit, drive ex suit, go get
Speaker 4: that money. Like so we were a hustled like that,
Speaker 4: you know, with the comedy business. But then Steve flew
Speaker 4: me down Then Dallas was a ten hour drive, but
Speaker 4: he he flew me down there and then pay me
Speaker 4: a thousands.
Speaker 1: You up, you up boy? That was like yo.
Speaker 4: And then you know, then we became friends from there,
Speaker 4: just with rock and then uh and then so when
Speaker 4: he got to Steve Harvey show, he asked he asked
Speaker 4: them to put me on.
Speaker 1: So that was and that was it. So that was
Speaker 1: a good look right there. That was a hell of
Speaker 1: a look, man, And that was I've been gone and
Speaker 1: we took off after that.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, b et comic you probably would I
Speaker 4: would consider my first real step though, because I came
Speaker 4: out that because when I became the host of com
Speaker 4: of You, I became black famous, Like they came on
Speaker 4: every night and so you know, you come on every night.
Speaker 1: Then everybody in the airport. Now everybody knew me.
Speaker 4: So then you know, and you jumped to you jump
Speaker 4: your little your paydays, you know, because I probably used
Speaker 4: to get like at that time, probably twenty five hundred
Speaker 4: three thousand in the show. But then when I became
Speaker 4: the host, that that ship jumped to ten fifteen and
Speaker 4: I was three of them over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you was like what during the week, you know,
Speaker 1: and the bitches No, I'm just give it ye I,
Speaker 1: I I know what you're talking about. Yeah, but that
Speaker 1: was my thing going when I was a kid. I
Speaker 1: can make her laugh. Oh yeah, I can get her.
Speaker 1: That was it, you know, it was you know, that
Speaker 1: was it the close you started getting into it all that.
Speaker 4: But then that idea of like going around the country
Speaker 4: getting more and more famous, was he became something that
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, this is this is real. And
Speaker 4: then we start getting more TV opportunities like say, comic
Speaker 4: view blew up. Then then death jam blew up. And
Speaker 4: then you know that kind of led me to the
Speaker 4: uh that that Steve Harvey situation, which was great. How
Speaker 4: long we did six?
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, so we did six on Steve Harvey Show.
Speaker 4: And then uh, and then I started doing some movies
Speaker 4: right after this, so I had a great run up
Speaker 4: from ninety Well, you know, comedy you started in ninety
Speaker 4: four and it's been pretty solid though. But and then
Speaker 4: Steve Harvey Show show started like ninety eight, and that
Speaker 4: led into that led all the way to uh now
Speaker 4: Steve Harveyshow like ninety six somethings, and then yeah, that
Speaker 4: led all the way into King's Comedy and all that.
Speaker 4: So then King's Comedy, then the movies, Johnson Family to
Speaker 4: do Comic View, to do Comic View.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I did. I come to do Comic View.
Speaker 4: You they and it was one of those things too,
Speaker 4: because you know, you don't know how Hollywood work. But
Speaker 4: I just remember they paid me the host the show,
Speaker 4: and then they didn't want I was trying to get
Speaker 4: something out the deal and they didn't want. They basically like,
Speaker 4: you know, don't ask us for nothing else. So so
Speaker 4: they that means that they didn't get none of the
Speaker 4: stand up money. Like I'm trying to like include myself
Speaker 4: situation thinking that I think it's a deal, Like I'm
Speaker 4: thinking I'm packaging all this and they like now so
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, so y'all don't so, y'all making me
Speaker 4: a start, and then I get to go because y'all,
Speaker 4: y'all they paid me thirty thousand for the all the
Speaker 4: shows the whole season.
Speaker 1: I was getting that a weekend. I'm like, I'm making
Speaker 1: that a week ind now, like y'all cool? Cool. Then
Speaker 1: I start to be quiet.
Speaker 3: Now I'm like, all right, man it so then you know,
Speaker 3: so then that's kind of was the the world how
Speaker 3: you started to take off from there and just like steady, steady,
Speaker 3: you know, finding moves to make.
Speaker 1: Man, you know, that's that's this business.
Speaker 4: You gotta kind of keep your focus on what's the
Speaker 4: next move, no matter even if it's popping.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be like, what, like what y'all
Speaker 1: doing right here? You got to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: cool to me, let me pivot. We do something different,
Speaker 1: but it's good.
Speaker 3: Kingse of Comedy was one of those moments, like like
Speaker 3: a moment in time. Yeah, because I saw I saw
Speaker 3: both tours. Yeah, I saw when it was just without
Speaker 3: without d L. I saw that one. I saw that
Speaker 3: one at the Capital Center. Then I saw when Steve
Speaker 3: went to host. Yeah, and I saw both of them,
Speaker 3: and I had never you know, I didn't get to
Speaker 3: see you know, Eddie in big venues and that, Like,
Speaker 3: this was my first experience with comedy destroying an arena
Speaker 3: that was crazy destroyed, even when like whd raw and
Speaker 3: all that, it wasn't an arena at that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was doing arenas he did. I don't think
Speaker 1: he shot it in an arena.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but he was doing He did an arena tour,
Speaker 4: and Martin did an arena tour.
Speaker 1: And Dice those Dice class. But this one came off
Speaker 1: when the Kings came.
Speaker 4: It was like it was kind of like the old
Speaker 4: super fests, you know, like yeah, when you would see
Speaker 4: like all your favorites and one night. So it felt
Speaker 4: bigger because even though those guys were like big stars individually,
Speaker 4: this felt like a bigger idea because it was like,
Speaker 4: oh man, everything I love right here on one night.
Speaker 4: So those shows were selling out like crazy like quick.
Speaker 4: We did like five United senters for for m C I,
Speaker 4: m C I, Like you know, it were like you
Speaker 4: would come for the weekend and the tickets be gone,
Speaker 4: and they they like, hell, y'all don't want to come
Speaker 4: back here next week?
Speaker 3: You like come back to Chicago. They're like, yep, we
Speaker 3: can sell to more, like right, let's go. So it
Speaker 3: was it was incredible, No, that was it was incredible
Speaker 3: and and as a as as a U as a comic,
Speaker 3: like when you're on with your guys and those guys
Speaker 3: and you guys are I'm not sure if you guys
Speaker 3: are doing a run of show or a rehearsal or
Speaker 3: or you know, or if you just go in the
Speaker 3: first night and everybody surprised everybody with their material.
Speaker 1: Are you guys also punching each other up? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely, you definitely punching each other up, like
Speaker 4: you definitely once you kind of in a in a
Speaker 4: click like that and you start running and you're watching
Speaker 4: everybody saying and you're like, hey man, you know you
Speaker 4: when you do the one thing with so and so,
Speaker 4: you should be like, you know, now you gotta have
Speaker 4: you gotta have the kind of the you know, when
Speaker 4: we first started out, it was definitely that, But as
Speaker 4: people got richer and more, it started to be more
Speaker 4: kind of like individualized, you know what I'm saying. Everybody
Speaker 4: kind of was doing their own thing. But when we
Speaker 4: first started, it was a lot of a lot of like,
Speaker 4: you know, like anything. It was a lot of love.
Speaker 4: Everybody was with each other. It was a lot of fun,
Speaker 4: you know, you laughing and joking with each.
Speaker 1: Other, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But you know again, the more the more we kind
Speaker 4: of did it when we did it like three years,
Speaker 4: the bigger it got, the more it just started to
Speaker 4: be like comedy for three years.
Speaker 1: Did three years with the tour. Yeah, it was hot.
Speaker 1: We see that money gets bigger, crew gets a little bigger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The tour of us is
Speaker 1: just your Yeah, you know, your rider is your riding
Speaker 1: even shared. Yeah, yeah, got your people, got the way
Speaker 1: you do it. You know, you earned that though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a part of it. And then
Speaker 4: you got you know, and then you got you know,
Speaker 4: you got everything that goes with it. Like me and
Speaker 4: Steve was doing the Steve Eve Harvey Show at the time,
Speaker 4: so he was Steve Harvey. You know, I'm the I'm
Speaker 4: the dude on the show.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: But still we got a TV show like we popp
Speaker 1: and then d L came on. He had a show.
Speaker 1: That's why you see Bertie talk about having a show
Speaker 1: like like.
Speaker 4: You want the show show like that, but then you
Speaker 4: know when and then the show popped off, right, so
Speaker 4: now he got now everybody got their corners right, so
Speaker 4: you know, you know, so again it was but that's
Speaker 4: you know, that's that's a part of it too, man.
Speaker 1: But you can't, like you said, you can't. I was
Speaker 1: trip off that the fact that.
Speaker 4: It's still a big brand twenty five years later and
Speaker 4: it's still a brand, like if you say Kings of Comedy,
Speaker 4: people know exactly what you're talking about. So crazy, And
Speaker 4: that's the biggest thing that I feel like we never
Speaker 4: took advantage of, is you know, businessman. You know, like
Speaker 4: everybody kind of got in their own out in their
Speaker 4: own way, because that should have been a serious podcast,
Speaker 4: I mean a serious radio show.
Speaker 1: It should have been should have been all kinds of brand,
Speaker 1: and we I had all kinds of Kings Gun. We
Speaker 1: just did the movie and that was it.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like as as the original Kings of
Speaker 3: Comedy that there will be an opportunity for you guys
Speaker 3: to give birth to the next eras Kings of Comedy
Speaker 3: where you guys will be able to facilitate that and
Speaker 3: nurture it and present it the same way you guys
Speaker 3: were able to do yours.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think that that window
Speaker 1: kind of pass.
Speaker 4: I think when you guys like that, you know, people
Speaker 4: will reach the heights of like like keV and you know,
Speaker 4: Kevin Hart and Chapelle. I mean who was like you know,
Speaker 4: you know in our you know who's in our in
Speaker 4: our class. But again, you know, people like people just
Speaker 4: bigger brands now like individually, like they.
Speaker 1: Don't necessarily need, you know, at that time to do arenas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like we were all big. We can all
Speaker 4: do theaters on our own, but nobody it couldn't necessarily
Speaker 4: kill Arena or to Itch right, And I mean to
Speaker 4: this day probably you know, it's still like a few
Speaker 4: people that can really do that effectively, you know, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But that's different.
Speaker 4: And I mean just live in general is killing you know,
Speaker 4: it's killing people, right, so you know. So but you know,
Speaker 4: like stand up is just gotten to a place where
Speaker 4: you know, it also feels very saturated. So people like
Speaker 4: they know a lot of comedians. You hear a lot
Speaker 4: of comics both on your phone. You know, it's millions
Speaker 4: million Netflix specials. You like everybody like you see my
Speaker 4: special be like is it a special though, like cause it's.
Speaker 1: Just home like everybody man just own like I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, and not like the record it's rough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you're really a special you know, that's even tougher,
Speaker 4: you know what. I was just thinking about that. You
Speaker 4: know the other day, I was riding and I was
Speaker 4: listening to Mario song and I was streaming, like this
Speaker 4: song as popular as it was back then, and I realized,
Speaker 4: like R and B ain't don't really make a lot
Speaker 4: of new music. So the great songs, you know, like
Speaker 4: you know from y'all like that, y'all wrote all of
Speaker 4: them songs back then.
Speaker 1: These are the big songs like this, They stick because.
Speaker 4: Like Chris Brown maybe and if us should do something,
Speaker 4: But other than that, like I much rather hear the
Speaker 4: songs that I know, like this from this era where
Speaker 4: it was great, it was beautiful R and B songs,
Speaker 4: and you like, those songs still resonate, They still hot,
Speaker 4: they still dog, audiences still love them, kids still tick
Speaker 4: talking to them, you know what I'm saying. And that's
Speaker 4: but you know, you know, and I feel like even
Speaker 4: rap kind of come into that inn wed where rapper
Speaker 4: it used to be a lot of rappers, and now
Speaker 4: you got you got like one or two guys that
Speaker 4: will pop at any given time. And other than that,
Speaker 4: somebody throwing the project out and they might get high
Speaker 4: for a week. But it ain't that stick that stick
Speaker 4: to it kind of. I mean, we're in an age
Speaker 4: where it's like you can get a lot in a
Speaker 4: very short period of time if you just if you
Speaker 4: just hit the mark just enough. Like I don't even
Speaker 4: think like anybody's thinking career. People are thinking, nigga, if
Speaker 4: I can just hit them over the head one good time,
Speaker 4: if I can just if I can just get good
Speaker 4: enough to roll the dice one good time. Whereas we
Speaker 4: were trying to figure out how to be a musician
Speaker 4: for the rest of our yourself as a creative. That's
Speaker 4: because I want to do this. I'll do this anywhere.
Speaker 4: I'll do this in an arena or in front of
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty people.
Speaker 1: I'll do this anyway. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I meanber you pulled up at my golf tournament
Speaker 4: thing one time. It just popped up. It's funny. It
Speaker 4: was like, you know, it's like we're doing the announcements whatever,
Speaker 4: you pull up, but it just like, yo, I got
Speaker 4: a band there.
Speaker 1: Man, let's say it's a band, it's a whole band,
Speaker 1: but it's a different love. Right, it wasn't. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a money grab, right, No, you just we thank God
Speaker 1: for the money. Yeah, right, for sure.
Speaker 3: You know because everything that you said when you were
Speaker 3: just talking about it before it like even even just
Speaker 3: how you got into it, where it took you or
Speaker 3: where it's taken you. But at no point have you
Speaker 3: ever just been like, yeah, and I was just trying
Speaker 3: to get me some money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just like, yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: Really following my dream and going after what I love
Speaker 5: and the money came along with that.
Speaker 1: That's really real.
Speaker 4: And I think because again especially with standing up, because
Speaker 4: when you're out on that stage and it's just you
Speaker 4: and you trying to make this audience laugh. Then came
Speaker 4: in there from whatever day they got, you know, and
Speaker 4: got going on, and they there to see, you know,
Speaker 4: get some laughs.
Speaker 1: Your your job is to do that.
Speaker 4: Like, so you can't really be thinking about you start
Speaker 4: telling people how much money you made and you know
Speaker 4: that you're just gonna lose people because nobody want to
Speaker 4: hear that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I want to ask you something how hard is it
Speaker 5: to be a funny.
Speaker 1: Rich man.
Speaker 4: Again, it is differently, like I definitely can see I say,
Speaker 4: I say, there's a lot to people that stand up
Speaker 4: as a young man sport and it is.
Speaker 5: I think it's a poor man to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well usually you young and you poor. But I
Speaker 4: mean you can, you can, you know you can definitely
Speaker 4: if you love it, you can't.
Speaker 1: Like you can't argue with.
Speaker 4: The fact like I still feel like I'm shining, like
Speaker 4: I still be on stage, like where I definitely feel
Speaker 4: like I'm worth your money, Like I'm gonna be you
Speaker 4: the way I perform. I'm like, no, if you come
Speaker 4: see me, you're gonna be like, all right, boy, boy,
Speaker 4: still do it right, you know. So you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: I take pride in that spirit. And you can't argue
Speaker 4: with somebody like Chappelle, like right now, he just he
Speaker 4: rich as they come and and funny as they come.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, it's like.
Speaker 3: Chapel Chapelle, let me say this right, he still seems
Speaker 3: as he said the broke thing like the one time
Speaker 3: I one time I saw Chappelle on on the streets
Speaker 3: of Miami in a mini van, yeah, and in some
Speaker 3: jeans I'm sure he has slept in for a few
Speaker 3: days and probably the shirt too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just welcome smoking a cigarette? What up tank?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, not driving the minivan. Like the door
Speaker 3: of the minivan open, it's parking. He just sitting outside
Speaker 3: and inside the mini man.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm like what, yeah, I know he has at
Speaker 9: least forty Yeah no not aw no, No, that's him, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3: He's still live, like he's still immersed in the trenches somehow.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And it's probably because he live.
Speaker 4: In Ohio and he don't really be a part of
Speaker 4: the mix or whatever they are. But yeah, he definitely
Speaker 4: like that. But I think, I think there's a lot
Speaker 4: of comedians that still take great pride in being great comedians.
Speaker 4: So even if they got money, they love the you know,
Speaker 4: most of my guys they still love it like that
Speaker 4: d L. George Lopez, They you know, guys who do
Speaker 4: it well, they still love the go tell joke, right,
Speaker 4: you know, they love it.
Speaker 1: What do you think if you think.
Speaker 3: Are some of the missing steps or missing ingredients as
Speaker 3: it pertains to some of the comedy today, or maybe
Speaker 3: they're just a few different ways of going about comedy. Right,
Speaker 3: Maybe there's like social media comedy.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's the.
Speaker 3: Skip play of the thing, but I feel like the
Speaker 3: stand up part of it is not the same as
Speaker 3: even from my generation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think it kind of least to what
Speaker 4: Jay was talking about. The money came into it so
Speaker 4: much faster, so people they'll be on they start with
Speaker 4: their online presence like nowadays, and they get paid, so
Speaker 4: they get paid from their skits, and then if they
Speaker 4: try to convert it to stand up, then that's again
Speaker 4: that's a skill set where you gotta go to work,
Speaker 4: you gotta get up there, you gotta take your time.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get paid a lot at first, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get scratched up. And why do that?
Speaker 4: Why do that when I can get paid like if
Speaker 4: I might try And you got some people that really
Speaker 4: worked hard at it and they become good like people
Speaker 4: that you know that these guys that work like DC Young,
Speaker 4: like all the ninety five South dudes, like they they
Speaker 4: stay kind of getting that god, but they real stand ups,
Speaker 4: like you gotta get theirs and they go on stage
Speaker 4: they be lit, you know, so all of them so
Speaker 4: and then you got you know, but then you got
Speaker 4: some one of the country Wayne same thing.
Speaker 1: Like certain people I know, they work at work, they
Speaker 1: work at it. They don't take just their internet thing.
Speaker 4: But that's what I think the gap is is that
Speaker 4: most people just don't want to do that work part
Speaker 4: that come with being on that stage all the time
Speaker 4: and going up there and you know, and taking them
Speaker 4: l's and trying to figure out and really working and
Speaker 4: finessing a joke until it turned into something that's worthy.
Speaker 4: You used to your fame carrying you. So you if
Speaker 4: your fame carry you, you walk up there, you kind
Speaker 4: of you famous first. If you famous first, and you
Speaker 4: you don't know how to do thirty minutes worth for jokes.
Speaker 1: And if you know.
Speaker 4: So that's what I kind of feel what happened on
Speaker 4: the stand up side. But you know, stand up make
Speaker 4: you earn it, so you know, and and from and
Speaker 4: from the stand up world they kind of like that too.
Speaker 4: All stand ups make sure you you kind of paying
Speaker 4: homage to this part of the business. Otherwise you just
Speaker 4: won't have that kind of respect, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like people be like, yeah, no, you famous, you know,
Speaker 4: yeah it's all good, but you didn't yeah yeah, yeah famous?
Speaker 1: You as an og in it?
Speaker 3: Do you when you identify like the DC young Flies
Speaker 3: and Carlos and those guys, do you do you reach
Speaker 3: out to those off?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yap in with them for sure. Man, those guys
Speaker 1: are you know.
Speaker 4: Because they also inspire you, because you know, that's the
Speaker 4: other thing I've always loved about, Like you know that
Speaker 4: that always always say this too, Like when.
Speaker 1: You stand up when they say your name, you next period.
Speaker 4: So anybody that's ready for that moment because it ain't
Speaker 4: ain't nothing you can do once they go, ladies and
Speaker 4: gentlemen from Saint Louis. Yeah, yeah, I can't send you
Speaker 4: out there now. Yeah take going out there for take
Speaker 4: out there from the man right about some man, man,
Speaker 4: I ain't ready. You gotta go, right. So when you
Speaker 4: see people that get ready like that and they do that,
Speaker 4: you gotta be like, yo, this, that's that's the inspiration
Speaker 4: because it's that motivation to get ready. I take a
Speaker 4: lot of real dogs with me on stage too, like
Speaker 4: like young guys that's like they funny as for real,
Speaker 4: and you know you put them on stage first so
Speaker 4: that you can so you gotta go to work, absolutely,
Speaker 4: you gotta you gotta go to work. I started that
Speaker 4: kind of early in my career where dudes they go

Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta you gotta step up, you know, and

Speaker 3: you man, you've earned forty close to it, You've earned
Speaker 3: some luxuries. My brother, you've done it well. Is the difference.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I definitely feel very blessed, you know,
Speaker 4: and I think like I will always like try to
Speaker 4: strategiz a my moves and take like even when you
Speaker 4: know we're doing the movies.
Speaker 1: Had a big you know, had the movie career going.
Speaker 4: But then like my kids got to an age where
Speaker 4: they couldn't they had to go to school. Like first
Speaker 4: they was little and they could come almost everywhere and
Speaker 4: movie shot everywhere.
Speaker 1: You know, you be in you be in Canada, in
Speaker 1: in Ireland, we shooting movies.
Speaker 4: My family could come and the kids a little but
Speaker 4: then they got to that age where they had schedules,
Speaker 4: couldn't come.
Speaker 1: You out on the road.
Speaker 4: You lived somewhere for two three months, You're like, all right,
Speaker 4: this is not good right here. You know, kids doing
Speaker 4: stuff you don't know, had no idea what's going on.
Speaker 4: So wife, you know, it just became hard. So I
Speaker 4: chose to do television.
Speaker 1: So then when I started doing TV, that was like
Speaker 1: a fun thing soul man, you know.
Speaker 4: Exactly, boy boy, yeah, voice boy, and so then and
Speaker 4: then and then that led to the Neighborhood. But I
Speaker 4: had the other show. I had the Sketch Show first,
Speaker 4: to say, it entertain the presients. That was for one
Speaker 4: seeds in Fun with it was like me JB. Smooth
Speaker 4: and Wendy Rikell. It was like it was right before
Speaker 4: Chappelle's Sketch Show hit. But it was that same kind
Speaker 4: of fun sketch show for Fox that was dope. And
Speaker 4: then so you know, I've been really blessed to be
Speaker 4: able to kind of strategize that now I would start
Speaker 4: building the movie career back up to now because I
Speaker 4: feel like I've been on TV a long time. So
Speaker 4: now I'm just gonna finding movies, developing things that I
Speaker 4: think will be fun to watch and do.
Speaker 1: And then you know, the kids are older. They all
Speaker 1: got their own lives now.
Speaker 3: So you know, it's like most of the things that
Speaker 3: you've done as far as from the television side of it,
Speaker 3: did you develop most of it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, co created, man, executive produced, executive reduced.
Speaker 1: So you can't without. I gotta be in charge.
Speaker 4: I gotta be in charge like I was like sometime
Speaker 4: sometime I'm in you know, on the writing side, like
Speaker 4: on so Man, I co wrote that one, but on
Speaker 4: on the Neighborhood it was already I I had pitched
Speaker 4: other ideas, but this show was already done, So then
Speaker 4: I had to co write. I mean, I came in
Speaker 4: to executive produced, which you know, basically gives me a
Speaker 4: lot of control over what the show is gonna be
Speaker 4: and what you know. I have a lot of say
Speaker 4: on like we're gonna do this and we're not gonna
Speaker 4: do that, you know that kind of stuff. Nothing language.
Speaker 3: You know. You know a movie I've watched a thousand times.
Speaker 3: You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna laugh, You're not even gonna.
Speaker 1: Know be cool, be cool man, cool, cool dope man,
Speaker 1: that's your movie. He be quoting lines from that movie
Speaker 1: like it's nothing, bro.
Speaker 4: Man, that was Classic Man. That was like one of
Speaker 4: his first starts doing the movie was fun. And then
Speaker 4: that was my first time getting to work with f
Speaker 4: Gary Gray, which was dope.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So yeah, so many the
Speaker 1: rock I tell there was legends in that one that
Speaker 1: was dope. That is that is a fun movie. Every
Speaker 1: time I see the movie was just on the day
Speaker 1: you just scroll past it. Yeah yeah, I like that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be a little little photos. I listen that a
Speaker 1: real time. Kids that you got yeah, I got them.
Speaker 1: What's your what's your.
Speaker 3: In your opinion, your favorite movie and your I won't
Speaker 3: say your worst, but your least favorite.
Speaker 1: So my my probably my favorite is Barbershop one.
Speaker 4: That was the one I had the most fun doing
Speaker 4: because you know, I chose to play that old man
Speaker 4: like I came in for a different role. But then
Speaker 4: when I saw it, I asked him could I play
Speaker 4: that old man the whole thing? And that you know,
Speaker 4: I had to earn it because they wanted to hire
Speaker 4: a real old man. But I was like, no, I
Speaker 4: got this dude, right yeah, so you know, and then
Speaker 4: it was one of It was also the movie that
Speaker 4: changed my career a lot because that movie hit, and
Speaker 4: then I was able to be seen like as a
Speaker 4: movie star. So then I was able to go get
Speaker 4: other movies on my own and stuff. So and then
Speaker 4: probably you know, like the movie that just didn't work
Speaker 4: out that probably had the worst experience. You know, I
Speaker 4: had a lot of fun doing this movie, but I
Speaker 4: wish I could have did it my way, which was
Speaker 4: The Honeymooners, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean, Like, no, what I knew you were
Speaker 1: going to say, Man, like this movie. We shot that
Speaker 1: movie in Ireland. It was me and Mike. And the
Speaker 1: thing about it is like this kind of like what
Speaker 1: people don't know about the.
Speaker 4: Business, like because we had like an executive that really
Speaker 4: got us when we started the movie. The dude that
Speaker 4: was like with us to write in the checks in
Speaker 4: the studio, he really got the whole thing. So but
Speaker 4: then he got fired, so before the movie even got made.
Speaker 4: It was a new dude then came in with his idea.
Speaker 4: He put the dog in and he made us do this.
Speaker 4: He made us do that. Then we had a budget,
Speaker 4: and then something happened and they cut our budget, like
Speaker 4: maybe maybe a month before were supposed to start cut
Speaker 4: our budget by like by ten million.
Speaker 1: It was like a number cut the budget, like like
Speaker 1: a number, like a real number.
Speaker 4: They cut that joint, so then we had to read.
Speaker 4: That's how we ended up going to Ireland because the
Speaker 4: movie based in New York. So we ended up going
Speaker 4: to Ireland to shoot cause yeah, yeah, they was had
Speaker 4: all these you know, and the you know, the producer
Speaker 4: that was doing it, he was like he had just
Speaker 4: did a movie over there, so he had connections, so
Speaker 4: he was like, we're going over there to shoot this movie.
Speaker 1: But you know, it changed everything.
Speaker 4: Man, It was like one of those but you know
Speaker 4: the idea of having a franchise like that to your point,
Speaker 4: like I felt like if we could have really did
Speaker 4: the movie the way that we envisioned made with the
Speaker 4: first dude, we would have had a big franchise that
Speaker 4: would have really worked because me and Mike Epps were
Speaker 4: the right people for that, for that concept, except that,
Speaker 4: you know, this other.
Speaker 1: Dude, he kind of came in and just changed the
Speaker 1: vibe the whole thing. So that was it.
Speaker 3: Get doubt where you going chief, you know, the entertainers
Speaker 3: in the field. So we you know, I feel like
Speaker 3: we should we must entertain entertained. Yeah, brother, let me
Speaker 3: see let me go back and check this thing.
