Speaker 3: to toast.

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,480

Speaker 3: You already got started before we started taping.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: I did appreciate that. Tell people at home, I thought.

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: They was lying. And yeah, this particular alcohol is stronger

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: than you think it would be, probably by about two

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: and unbelievably smoother and milder by the same maybe thirty

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: percent then you could possibly expect. And unlike kanyacs the

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: world over, this one doesn't taste like wood at the end,

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn't taste like it's got artificial colors, and

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't taste like it's got artificial flavors. Uh, it's

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: a it's a fine product.

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: He's a connosour. You can tell he's a connoisance. He's

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: a Kangnac connoisseur. He understands the method that goes into

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 3: making Kanyac right.

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Well. As a comedian, you get free drinks at the club,

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: so all comedians either turn out to be connoisseurs like

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: myself or straight up and down alcoholics like sixty percent

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: of Hollywood.

47
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Well, thanks, thanks for stopping by the club.

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: I understand that you're very, very busy, and for you

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: to take time out of your busy schedule and stop

50
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: in today, we really really appreciate here at Club Shayshay.

51
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: Thanks thanks for stopping back.

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: And I needed you to know why I came by.

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: I need you to tell us why people know.

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't go everywhere. I'm not interested in talking to

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: people unless it's like a Larry King or somebody of

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: an amazing ilk that I would actually want to go

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: talk to in real life. Okay, I don't do it

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: so I can sell product, and then I got things

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: to sell, so let me come talk. You have a

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: great product here, and as a fan base, we love

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: the attention that you spend on the guest. We love

62
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: how much work you've done, how well you know them,

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: how prepared you are, the same things that we liked

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: about you in football. You brought that on over to here,

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and that's why it resonates. And the reason I had

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to come is because you've made a safe place for

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the truth to be told. You know what I mean.

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: And I have watched all of these low brow comedians

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: come here and disrespect you in your face and tell

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: you straight up lies. I'm talking about things that have

71
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: never been heard in all of black Hollywood. They feel

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: comfortable sitting here lying to you about it.

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: You gonna say the record straight?

74
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You let Ricky Smiley sit here

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: and you said out that mouth you stole Friday after next,

76
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: the one I was in. I wish all all of

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: America fumbled a bit when that happened. And then he

78
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: said some stuff that we hadn't heard in one hundred

79
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: years in Hollywood. You ain't say nothing. This man told

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: you he had Kat Williams role. He was gonna be

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: money Mike, and Kat Williams was gonna be was gonna

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: mean the Santa Claus. Now, let's three quick points. You

83
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: mean in Hollywood they cast a five fot five black

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: Santa Claus that weigh one hundred and forty five pounds.

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: That's your story. Your story is the Ricky Smile that

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: couldn't even do curse words because he had a Christian

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: fan base, he was gonna play the pimp. Why you

88
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't ask him? Why has he played a woman in

89
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 1: more movies than he's played a man? Well, I didn't

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: know he He shouldn't be able. You wouldn't let an athlete

91
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: that been on steroids talk about one of the greats

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley can't act because Ricky Smiley can't act. He

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: told you the story about when the movie came out.

94
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Where did he say he watched it at home? He

95
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: wasn't even not the premiere. You telling this man? You

96
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: stole that ah so he could get his name in

97
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the same sentence with a great one. It is sad.

98
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: He was just that bitter when we were shooting it.

99
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: He told everybody it should have been my role, everybody

100
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: on the scene. Why do you think no cast member

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: has ever said anything.

102
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 4: He couldn't have played that role like you.

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I thought he was sure no one. Why no, he

104
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: was with KD. He beat up Harry Crews. Why nobody

105
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: know this story? You're talking about Hollywood? They switched off

106
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: rolls you take this and he what Ricky Smiley knows this,

107
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know why he would lose a child

108
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: and come on the air start lying. That's why people

109
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: believe in rituals right there is because well why would

110
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: he lie? I don't know why liars lie. But I

111
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: can tell you this. We auditioned in Los Angeles. Yes,

112
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: I was audition number two hundred and one. Two hundred

113
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: black comedians auditioned for the role of money Mike. With me,

114
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: you're saying all two hundred and one of us was

115
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: auditioning and you had already had the role and had

116
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: already shot the role in four days. The truth of

117
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: the matter is the Money Mike in the original script

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: got raped in the bathroom. And that's what Ricky Smiley

119
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: was okay with. Kat Williams had to take the risk

120
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: in front of the studios and the cast and the

121
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: powers that be in his very first movie, as say, respectfully, humbly, guys,

122
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: if we're talking about anything else, I have no credibility

123
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and I have no pull. But we're talking about comedy

124
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: where I have all the credibility and all the pool.

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: The problem with Friday After Next is we're trying to

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: make a classic comedy, and this comedy involves a rape,

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and rape is never funny no matter who it happens

128
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: to or what the circumstances are. If you would allow

129
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: me to allow us to do this movie without a

130
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: black man getting raped in it, I promise you that

131
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: it will be twice as funny as it would be

132
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: with him getting raped. So, considering that's the real story,

133
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: why would you bring up that story? Thirty five members

134
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: of the cast and crew have never brought up that

135
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley was gonna pla money mike. No one ever

136
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: saw him be put on a Santa Claus suit. We

137
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: got a wardrobe department. They made a Santa Claus suit

138
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: for me. Why that wasn't in the bloopers? And here's

139
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the other thing. Everything that money Mike said. Kat Williams wrote,

140
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: So what Ricky Smiley say on his you can't say

141
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: my lines? I wrote him. That's how I already ready

142
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna be funnier than you. What he

143
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: told everybody was, Kat Williams, don't nobody know who he is.

144
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio. I'm with Steven said, everybody know me.

145
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: That's what he told everybody. That would listen to on

146
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: this set. That's the truth of the matter. He was

147
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: so egregious, not now then, he was so egregious that

148
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: in Hollywood has never heard this in one hundred years.

149
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: He was so egregious. I put in my contract that

150
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I won't work with Ricky Smiley again unless he's in

151
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: a dress. Now, what was Ricky Smiley's next movie? Was

152
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: it First Sunday? Did he wear addressing it? You bet?

153
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,479
Speaker 1: He did it? In my contract?

154
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: Why would you put that in your witness in your contract?

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Cat, That's where he's the unbelievable actor. Him and Tyler

156
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Plarry can't play a man. Let's say their life. They

157
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: played good women. And I believe that the best actor

158
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: should be in the best role.

159
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: So that's why because when we released that clip and

160
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: he said that, you responded because he said he was

161
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: supposed to play money Mike and you were supposed to play.

162
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Santa Claus in our right lie. So that he knows

163
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: is a lie.

164
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 4: So why would he say it?

165
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Because he's a liar. Nobody knows why liars lie. And

166
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: that's why I had to come on the program. Cedric

167
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: did the same thing. Sedric told you when you asked him,

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: did you steal Cat Williams joke? He said it don't

169
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: line up? Howard, don't line up? That I did it

170
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: on TV in twenty eighteen, you came to see me

171
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: at the Comedy Store do it in twenty nineteen, and

172
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: then did it on the Kings of Comedy, Like what

173
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: doesn't line up? This is a televised joke that Mark

174
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Curry helped me punch up and get to the level

175
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: that it was the same Steve that went to go

176
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole

177
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: everything Mark Curry had. Now Steve got a sitcom where

178
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: he the principal and he wear a suit and then

179
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: he gets this high top fade, making all black men

180
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: think he got the best line up in the business,

181
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: and it's a man unit. Then you asked it, why

182
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: are you not a movie star?

183
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: I didn't want to be a movie star, just the

184
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: same Negro that hated on Bernie with this same thing.

185
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 5: I didn't want to be a movie No, you couldn't

186
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: be a movie star. There are thirty thousand new scripts

187
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for

188
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: a country bumpkin black dude that can't talk good olba

189
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 5: kaba and look.

190
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: Like mister potato head. There ain't none you would have

191
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: to have range. I played a lot of characters, sixty

192
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: movie roles. I'm not playing Kat william in there.

193
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know care. We might let

194
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: you drink anymore the way you you, I mean, we

195
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: ain't even got.

196
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Im not fueled by alcohol. I've had a sip less

197
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: than you. The truth don't need motivation. I'm just saying

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't let these dudes lie. Cedric sitting here telling

199
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you why he ain't a movie star, He on here

200
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: looked like a wal risk. You didn't say nothing. He

201
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: can't even get his arms off his stomach, sitting on

202
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: why I'm not a movie's what?

203
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: It's a situation.

204
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: We never wrote anything. Remember when Sedric the Entertainer starts,

205
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be singing, dancing and telling jokes. That's

206
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: why he's called the entertainer. We found out he can't sing,

207
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: can't dance, and doesn't write jobbles. He did four comedy specials.

208
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: They're so bad, Shanning they're not available on Netflix or

209
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: to B Can I say that again for the audience.

210
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: They're so bad that they're not available on Netflix or

211
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: to be.

212
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: You don't think say has a good a good comedian.

213
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: The world doesn't think that, Sir, I have twelve comedy specials.

214
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: He has four specials that are not available on Netflix

215
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: or TV.

216
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: It seems to me, Kat that you had a lot

217
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: to get off your chest.

218
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: No, no, you wanted to say the record school winners

219
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: are not allowed to allow losers to rewrite history. I

220
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: don't say any these things if my name is not

221
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: breached by these people on your platform that if you

222
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: give them a liar a platform to lie, then I'm

223
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: not being messy by saying hold on that never happened.

224
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: It's untrue, and there are hundreds of witnesses for each

225
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: thing I'm saying.

226
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this, what are your relationship

227
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: with Steve Harvey, Ricky Smiley and said you did entertaina

228
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: as you sit here currently.

229
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: They for thirty years. They're a group. These aren't three

230
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: random guys. The way that Ricky's Smiley kept appearing at

231
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: all of my auditions is because of Steven saying he

232
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: would tell anybody that listen, they got a gang on

233
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: that side. They know what it is. They know who

234
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: the gang is. Why Earthquake not in movies because he's illiterate.

235
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: He can't read, and they found that out when they

236
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: gave him a show and put the cards in front

237
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: of him. Like, all of these dudes are co entwined

238
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: and they share secrets. And this is the age of truth,

239
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: and the truth doesn't need to be scared of the

240
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: fact that people tell lies. Cats on drugs? Where are

241
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: the stories? Why is there no story of anybody who

242
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: ever sold a drug to me, did a drug with me,

243
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: was around me when I was inebriated. I got five daughters,

244
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: I got five sons. Why would we tell these ridiculous stories?

245
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Because this competition, you feel like, well, why comedy guys

246
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: can't just get along? Why didn't you get along with

247
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the other ten you were competing against if you're a

248
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Denver Bronco or why you don't get along with the cowboys?

249
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Something wrong with you?

250
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 6: But I don't disagree. I don't know the cowboys. That's

251
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: what comedian do you? Did you play against the team? Yes,

252
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 6: I've taken forty six comedians with me on the road.

253
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 6: Forty six. Okay, I'm not the comedian.

254
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: You can give that to I only put on comedians

255
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: that are funnier than me. Anybody that ever told you

256
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: differently was a fat Phaison liar. There's nobody like me

257
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: in the business. Faison said that getting a Netflix special

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: is easy. I have twelve specials. Guess how many Faison

259
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: got zero? Why is he allowed to have conversations about

260
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: real stand up people. We do not let people who

261
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: are on the juice discuss real athletes. That's all. As

262
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: a journalist, that's all. That's all I'm saying. I don't

263
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: have harbor any resentment to any of these entities because

264
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: I can't be jealous. I've never seen them have anything

265
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: that I ever wanted. If you sign up for their program,

266
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: you get a light skinned, weird face wife that never

267
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: do an interview. Listen in twenty years, won't do an interview.

268
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever talked to her, and she's never been interviewed anywhere.

269
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: And now understand, I'm not talking about one person. When

270
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: I just told you applies to seven people. How they

271
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: all end up with that, that's part of what you get.

272
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: I came in this business saying I was gonna expose

273
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: when I talked about Michael Jackson. When I talked about

274
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: R Kelly. They canceled me for these things, because why

275
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: would you talk about another black dude. Race is not

276
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: where the line is drawn. It's God's side and the

277
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: other side, and we don't care nothing about the other side,

278
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: period period. All of these big deviance is all catching

279
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: hell in twenty twenty four. It's up for all of them.

280
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: It don't matter if you Diddy or whoever you is, TGJS,

281
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: any of them. Every all lies will be exposed, that's all.

282
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: And anyone who takes that the wrong way know why

283
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they take it the wrong way. The truth is the life, and.

284
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: They have no more of these Amen.

285
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 7: Amen, kind of getting on there right that I.

286
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: Don't really kind of know where to got me one

287
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: more time?

288
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Right?

289
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: Were good?

290
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: Now? Because the people want to know why would he

291
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: get black balls? Yeah? Because because because in thirty years

292
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: I've done nothing but collect information, knowledge and your secrets.

293
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: So if you and a man was in a corner

294
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: doing something you wasn't supposed to be doing, you tell it. No,

295
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: somebody come to tell me, Okay, I gather that I

296
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: value that I'll pay for that. Come tell me I

297
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: know so many things I shouldn't know. And they all

298
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: know it. They all know it. Why because you don't

299
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: make me the villain, not the guy that raises black children.

300
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: And they never done a hard drug in his life,

301
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: and don't have no stories of doing nobody dirty, and

302
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: they'll just go out in their lie. The industry doesn't

303
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: mess with Cat because he didn't show up for the studio.

304
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: No studios have ever said that. Look at my IMDb.

305
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: It will show you that no studio has ever lost

306
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: money with me on the script. How That's why I'm saying.

307
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: That's why I can't let Ricky Smiley say he was

308
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: supposed to play Money Mike because I wrote the words

309
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: for Money Mike. I designed the hair for Money Mike.

310
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: I collaborated with the wardrobe department and made out it's

311
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that no one in America would be

312
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: wearing what Money Mike was wearing. I told him to

313
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: go get the prowler. I then told him to paint

314
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: it purple. I told him, don't have an actor at

315
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: playing a pimp. We could get an actual pimp, Archbishop

316
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Magic don Juan to play like. I did far too

317
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: much work for somebody to come years later and try

318
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: to tag along just for their own self angrandizement.

319
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: Why didn't Q set the Reconstrate? Terry Creuse could have

320
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: set the record. Strate, Mike Efs could have set the record.

321
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: Strate Why none of them set the recordstration?

322
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: That's what you were supposed to ask him when he

323
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: told you those lies, that that one's a right. But

324
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: he's telling you something no one's ever heard of. Nobody

325
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: has ever heard. Oh, Matt ben Affleck and Matt Damon

326
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: was in a movie and somebody said, y'all should switch rolls,

327
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: like this is a business.

328
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: But that's the thing can normally, when people will give

329
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: you information, I'm thinking I'm hearing it for the first time,

330
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: and they're giving information no one else knows or I've

331
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 3: ever heard.

332
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: So I've taken him at face value.

333
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: These are a lot. This is like Steve Harvey telling

334
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: people he used to be homeless. That's my story, that's

335
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: not his story. Steve Harvey wasn't never homeless. When Mark

336
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Curry was touring with him twenty five years ago. He

337
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: was making three thousand dollars a show in cash and

338
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: doing five shows a week. They just tell the stories.

339
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: Thanks to my wife, I'm where I am. You said

340
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: that about the first wife you forget that you told

341
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: us it was her, then you went and married somebody

342
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: else that think like a man, like, what are you

343
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: talking about? They they think they can rewrite history. That guy.

344
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Tori did a beautiful special about the Comedy Store in

345
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: Fat Tuesday where he said that Steve and Cedric and

346
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart and Tiffany had hish came through there and

347
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: made all lies. Steve and Cedric never performed at the

348
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: Comedy Store at all. Tiffany was only seen at the

349
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Lab Factory in fifteen years in Hollywood. No one in

350
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold out

351
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart show there being a line for him ever

352
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: getting a standing ovation at any comedy club. He already

353
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: had his deals when he got here. Have we heard

354
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: of a comedian that came to LA and in his

355
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: first year in LA he had his own sitcom on

356
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: network Television and had his own movie called Soul Plane

357
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: that he was leading. No, we've never heard of that

358
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: before that person or since that person. What do you

359
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: think a plant is? Maybe people don't understand the definitions

360
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: of these words. He just did his documentary with Chris

361
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: Rock where he shows you that his whole upbringing in

362
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: comedy was on the East Coast, So how simultaneously was

363
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: he here in Los Angeles doing the same thing. It

364
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: didn't happen. It didn't happen. And I hate to seem

365
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: like a petty individual for picking apart lies, but Jesse Smaw,

366
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: they gonna keep lying until you say, we don't believe you,

367
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: like it's important in the checks and balances of the

368
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: universe that liars not get to make complete narratives for themselves.

369
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 4: Are you not afraid about being blackballed?

370
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Again?

371
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 4: These are some power people?

372
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: What do you mean again? These people are not powerful.

373
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: Satan can't create anything that includes blessings for his people.

374
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: That's why, you know what the number one job of

375
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: somebody that saw their soul in Hollywood is, it's to

376
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: act like it didn't happen. They all do the same job.

377
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: Why do you think Gary Owen can't cross over? And

378
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 1: he already white and been in comedy for twenty five years.

379
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: If what I say ain't the case, it's a cabal,

380
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: it's a consortium. They rock with who they rock with,

381
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: and they don't with who they don't. But I'm not

382
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: scared of being the competition anymore. Than you were when

383
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: you lined up across from a superior team. Yeah, on paper,

384
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: they're a better team. They have all the assets and

385
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: resources that we don't. But let us get on the line,

386
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: boy boy, and see if that factors in. I guarantee

387
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: you it won't wow. Because Shannon Sharp gotta be a

388
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: different person than that other person, and he always was.

389
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't change when I change teams. That remains the same.

390
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: That's how a legacy is built. So all of these

391
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: shortcut takers, I was, they've canceled me for talking about

392
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein before the thing came out. But he offered

393
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: to suck my penis in front of all my people

394
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: at my agency. What am I supposed to do? He

395
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: did all of that. I'm thinking, I'm the only black

396
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: person on the script. I get there, it's three other

397
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: black guys on there. Whoa huh? I told him, no,

398
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: what y'all do? And this is why when I walk

399
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: in the room, heads go down behind my back. I'm nothing.

400
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm just a regular old comedian. That's better in jealous

401
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: but in my face, no, no, no, the king has

402
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: walked in and they have to respect it, only because

403
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm not taken the shortcuts. I've not been funded. They

404
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: pay you to not talk about things they don't want

405
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: you to talk about. They tell you that themselves. I

406
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: can't do that, cause Steve told you that he stopped

407
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: doing stand up because he has seven TV shows. The

408
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: only problem is when he stopped stand up, he didn't

409
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: have those seven TV shows. He stopped stand up because

410
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: he got in a comedy battle called the Championship of

411
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: Stand Up Comedy with one Cat Williams in Detroit in

412
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: front of ten thousand people, and lost because Cat Williams

413
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: said he was actually bald and that was a wig

414
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: and I went in and that's why he couldn't do

415
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: stand up anymore. Imagine him coming to tell you another

416
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: story where he got so big and it was burning.

417
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: Them's fault because they want it to be movie stars.

418
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: What you called Ocean eleven to get that Nigga's part?

419
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: What do you mean you didn't want to be a

420
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: movie star? So on the behalf of Bernie, I would

421
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: have to say what I have to say.

422
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: Have you ever been on tour with any of these guys?

423
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: Every guy I mentioned to you is not funny out

424
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: there in real life. So no, Faison's never done his

425
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: own tour in thirty years. Steve Harvey don't do stand

426
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: up no more. Cedric doesn't write. I'm sorry he doesn't write.

427
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley has been playing the same old black woman forever,

428
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: like you can't get a young fan base with that,

429
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Like you gotta be doing karaoke around the country to

430
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: make that work, and he is. But I'm a stand

431
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: up comedian. This is my nineteenth, one hundred city tour.

432
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have a conversation with these lazy bums

433
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: that will take a shortcut at any point. Yes, it's

434
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: easier for you to juice than to get in the gym,

435
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: but you don't get to bring that body in the

436
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: here talking.

437
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: Crazy about how good you look. What.

438
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: No, No, there's too many comics out there that are

439
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: put in their life on the line to tell these jokes.

440
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: Man. Okay, let's get to your upbringing. We're gonna circle

441
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 4: back and we just I want to protect them real quick.

442
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: Because you had said for.

443
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: The Kings of Comedy it was in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,

444
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: But did you mean nineteen ninety nine, because it came

445
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: out in two thousands. I just want to make because no, no, no.

446
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: So what I meant to say was, remember he said

447
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't do stand up anymore. I had seven TV shows,

448
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: I said. He didn't have any of those TV shows

449
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: at the time though, Cedric Okay eighteen twenty nineteen, but

450
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: it came out in two thousand, So I just want

451
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: to make sure, Okay, no, no, no, no no, what comes

452
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: out in.

453
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 4: Two thousand, the original Kings of Comedy?

454
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Right, my, I'm on BET's Comic View and they're using

455
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: this as the commercial in nineteen ninety eight. That's why

456
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah. So if I yeah, so if I

457
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: said the date's wrong, yes, so.

458
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: Ain't clear that? Okay?

459
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 3: You said yeah, I had Cedric on here, and I

460
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: asked him about the joke stealing. He said, the timeline

461
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: doesn't add up.

462
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: Correct to your to that point, you say, right, So

463
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: he thought that I was just a no name comedian

464
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.

465
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: The issue was that I had already done this particular

466
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: joke on BT's Comic View twice. It had done so

467
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: well on BT's Comic View that they had made it

468
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: part of the commercial. So part of the commercial of

469
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: make sure you tune in the BT. Was you seeing

470
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: and me doing this joke? And this joke is one

471
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: of those jokes in comedy where you set it up

472
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: and it takes a little longer to set it up,

473
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: takes about three minutes, but then you're just hitting them

474
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: with jokes after that because you don't have to set

475
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: it up. Mark Curry had already helped me work on

476
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: this joke because I thought it was good, because I

477
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: was getting a standing ovation on it. He had me

478
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: go back in the lab to helped me craft it

479
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: to be an even more powerful joke. So this is

480
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: not just a random joke. This is my very best joke,

481
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: and it's my last joke, and it's my closing joke. Okay,

482
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, I'm doing this joke. It's on Comic View.

483
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Cedric comes to the comedy store, he watches me in

484
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the audience, he comes backstage, he tells me what a

485
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: great job I did and how much he loves the joke.

486
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: Two years later, he's doing that as his last joke

487
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: on the Kings of Comedy, and he's doing it verbatim.

488
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: He's just changed my car into a spaceship. Him and

489
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Steve had already apologized for me, so I gave him

490
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: a pass for a decade. Why would you sit here

491
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: and be like I talked to I saw Cat thirty times,

492
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: and Cat didn't do as I stand before you, Shannon,

493
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: I would a bust Cedric's stomach. There was nothing that

494
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: would have kept me from one of these in that

495
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: patch right there, Like, are you kidding me? Why would

496
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: you downplay me like that? Why did I give you

497
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: a pass if you were just gonna lie? And so

498
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like they're all a group, Cedric, Steve, Ricky,

499
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: They've been a group. Everybody knows that they've been aligned,

500
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: and there are these alliances in comedy, and if you

501
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: stand against them, then they sometimes have a problem. But

502
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: we don't let that change the content, because that's all

503
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: you know me for is that I'm quite likely to

504
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Speaker 4: What was Kat Williams's upbringing? Life?

534
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: Your parents with Jehovah Witness. You were a prodigy, you

535
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: were brilliant. You talked to me that you got to

536
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: accepted a college at seven years of age. You can

537

Speaker 4: How was it? How was life as Cat Williams crunk

542
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: coming up?

543
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I I was often confused because I knew things and

544
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how I knew them. I knew things

545
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: that I felt like, I don't have a reason that

546
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: I know this, But I I loved to read. I

547
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: was voracious because they told me when I was young

548
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: that knowledge was powerful, that knowledge was power, and I

549
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: had studied powerful people, and I really believe that. I

550
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: immediately my next project was to read the whole encyclopedia set.

551
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: So when you're like six seven years old, you read

552
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: the whole encyclopedia set. You think you one of the

553
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: smartest people in the world, only to get out in

554
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: the world and find out you don't know anything. You know,

555
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: So it was a it was a confusing time. But yeah,

556
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I had a childhood. I was grown, but I at

557
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: five years old, I was in front of five ten

558
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: thousand people given a performance with a full suit and

559
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: tie on, you know what I mean. So it hasn't

560
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: it had? It came full circle for my life. I

561
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: knew that the applause and the giving of information and

562
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: laughs and truth to people somehow benefited them and also

563
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: benefited you. And yeah, so when they would ask me

564
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: what I wanted to be, everything that I would say

565
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: that I wanted to be was something that didn't exist,

566
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: and they would never give me credit for it because

567
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: I needed to say a doctor or a lawyer. But

568
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: that's not what I wanted to be.

569
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: So your parents weren't as supportive as you would have hoped,

570
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: because you were wanting to be things when you got

571
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: older that they had no knowledge of or it didn't

572
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: exist at the time.

573
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't that. It was I'm saying, I'm I'm

574
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: almost one hundred years old, right, now. But if we

575
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: go outside right now, I can run a four to

576
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: three forty or or sub I can do a four

577
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: to one six.

578
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: If Jim John's crossed the street, we can order a sub.

579
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: But oh, you've been on the submarine.

580
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: That what you saw so so back then it was

581
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: even greater. So you got this guy that all the

582
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: coaches want to like, I don't do that. Hold on

583
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm five 't five in the fifth grade.

584
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: I've been this high as my whole life. Like there

585
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: was abortion of school where I was one of the

586
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: big dudes. Like it's as soon as everybody caught a

587
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: gross spurt, I was out of it. But I'm saying

588
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: I was a competitive individual. My father wasn't accurate seback like, like, no,

589
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I've been one hundred and forty five pounds my whole career.

590
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: That's why I never bothered when they said you cats

591
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: on drugs. I knew how you're going to prove that.

592
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: My body is a temple.

593
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: I've been the same size since I was teend.

594
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: Like, what do you yeah? Like, I haven't. I haven't

595
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: changed off this pivot foot. This has always been who

596
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: I was before stand up or anything. But it was

597
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: a It was an interesting childhood. I appreciate my parents,

598
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: even though I couldn't live within the religious framework so

599
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: what they had set up, But that was more not

600
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: wanting to live a double life and not want to

601
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: embarrass my family.

602
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, because I read were a

603
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: form of punishment for you is that they would take

604
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: books because you mentioned you were such a voracious reader,

605
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 3: and a form of punishment was when they would take

606
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 3: the books for because you could read fluently. You told

607
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: me how at like three or four years old, you

608
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: could read, read, read, not not just a little child's book,

609
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: but you could read read well.

610
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying when we when we go to Haiti to

611
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: do missionary work, understand that my mother and my father,

612
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: nobody that's there with us speaks French, and I mean

613
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: it speaks creole and reads French. So I'm in charge

614
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: of everything from the housing to the cars to the gardener,

615
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: like I'm saying. So I'm not just reading, I'm reading

616
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: in multiple languages. Like I'm I'm probably reading three thousand

617
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: books a year from the time that I'm eight years

618
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: old to the time that I'm twelve. No fiction books

619
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: at all. I'm only reading nonfiction.

620
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: You could drive.

621
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: At twelve, you received the full scholarship to the National

622
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: Science Academy in Dayton, Ohio, but you failed, so you

623
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: couldn't become so you would become ineligible. Why did you

624
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: want to take that opportunity.

625
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: I didn't see it as an opportunity. When I got

626
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: in there, all the students were wearing lab coats and

627
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: it seemed very confined and restricted, and nobody seemed like

628
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: they were having fun. It just seemed like everybody was smart.

629
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: I didn't want that. That was That wasn't what I

630
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: was signing up for at all. And plus I thought

631
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: that I was Jesus was my big homie. So you

632
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: know how you get a story about a dude joined

633
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: the gang and get a big home. Like at this

634
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: particular point in my life, my thought is that the

635
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: Bible is the greatest book that's ever been written, that

636
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: it houses the truth, and that it gives you this

637
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: story of Jesus, and that I'm supposed to be like him.

638
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: So it's already in my head that as soon as

639
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: I get thirteen, I'm leaving you.

640
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 3: At thirteen, you the only like, okay, Mama moving out?

641
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: You moved from Ohio to Florida on your own. You

642
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: weren't afraid?

643
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean you, like, did you?

644
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 4: So what were you? What were you going to do

645
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: when you got to Florida.

646
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: Don't say I wasn't afraid. There's no such thing as

647
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: a human being of not being afraid. There are certain

648
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: human beings that understand that being afraid in no way

649
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: stops you from doing what you gotta do. Okay, So

650
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: I was afraid, but I couldn't be that afraid because

651
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: I knew what had happened with Jesus, I knew how

652
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: it worked out. I knew that I wasn't in the

653
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: wrong with how I was feeling, and I knew that

654
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: I didn't have any bad intentions in it. So I

655
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: trusted God that it would work out. What Florida, because

656
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: if you're raised in Ohio, the one thing on your

657
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: list is I'm gonna get away from snow, and I'm

658
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna get as far I want to go. Tell me

659
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: the place. I literally went to a truck stop and

660
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: I asked all the truck drivers where they was going.

661
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: And there was one guy going to California, and there

662
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: was one guy going to Florida. And they told me

663
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: how long it was gonna take. And so that's why

664
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: I ended up in Miami because.

665
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 4: Bus me.

666
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: No, I just told you I was at the truck

667
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: stop I got in. I didn't hit you like I

668
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: got in the back of the dude eighteen wheeler, me

669
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: and my Rothwiler puppy and my suitcase. Yeah, because I was.

670
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: I probably had twenty five hundred dollars on me like

671
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: I like I was shoveling snow and cutting grass, like

672
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: I always had pockets full of money.

673
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: When did you make your decision that you were going

674
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: to leave Ohio and go somewhere.

675
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 4: And it ended up being Florida?

676
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 3: So but when did you know that you were leaving

677
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: dating Ohio going to Florida?

678
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: And my father and I's last interaction, somebody could have

679
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: not made it, and we both understood that was all bad.

680
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 4: What was the disagreement about?

681
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: If you say that my family is very religious, let's

682
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: just say I'm not. So anything that I'm going to

683
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: do is not gonna fall out of the guidelines, right,

684
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna let you tell me what I'm

685
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: going to be, even especially if what you're saying is wrong,

686
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: I can't condone wrong and if I find out that

687
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: something is wrong and I tell you where's wrong and

688
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: you don't back me, that's what it is.

689
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: Even as a young child, you were willing to tell

690
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: your parents that some of the things that you're saying

691
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: doesn't coincide to what I've been reading in the Bible.

692
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: No, no, very simply don't. Don't try to this fellowship

693
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 1: me for sexual acts. And I'm a virgin. Sorry, God

694
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: don't make mistakes. You don't get two times to fuck

695
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: me over. What do you mean You went to God

696
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: and he told y'all was guilty. You just lie on

697
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: God so long, that's it. There's no conversation, deuces.

698
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: So that that's when you made the decision. After that

699
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: conversation right there, you say, no, I can't, I can't

700
00:39:59,360 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 3: live under this.

701
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't a conversation, it was an altercation. And the

702
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: altercation I love my father. My father loved me, but

703
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: we are two men at it that it'll never be

704
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: the same again. You can't sleep comfortably around me and

705
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: I can't sleep comfortably around you.

706
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: How similar are you to your father?

707
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. He's a great man. I'm saying

708
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: because your heads right, But I'm saying that generally happens

709
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: with a father's son dynamic. It was just that religious

710
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: relationships are always difficult in families. They always are.

711
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: Before he got to the point because the dynamic he's father,

712
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: your son, before that dynamic, and you step up on

713
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: his level and you challenge him, you feed it was

714
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: best for.

715
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: You to leave.

716
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not being challenge I'm being beat

717
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: to death.

718
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 4: Oh he was abusive.

719
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I said we were in an altercation.

720
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: Uh, I see what you did that.

721
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: I saw what you did that. I sawd you did that. Cat,

722
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: I saw what you did. You was an altercation. You

723
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: didn't say you lost, you save You's an altercation.

724
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: I in no way gave you the impression that I

725
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: won anything. I'm the one leaving. I'm out of bounds.

726
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: This his house, right, ye. Yeah, So as long as

727
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be under his roofs, there are certain things

728
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna have to do right. And the only

729
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: way that's gonna change is either this or that. And

730
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying I had two younger brothers, like I'm not

731
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm not an unreasonable person, like I don't have any

732
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: mental issues whatsoever, despite what they lead people to believe.

733
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, I make good, pretty good decisions.

734
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 4: Were you not?

735
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: So how was their relationship with your father? Were you

736
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: not a fay to leave them?

737
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: Well, I asked, because it went all the way to

738
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: the actual department, so it was actually going to be something.

739
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: And when I asked them if they could just make

740
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: sure that my brothers didn't get separated and what have you,

741
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: they said they couldn't make those type of guarantees, that

742
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: they weren't really sure what would happen if this went down,

743
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: And so part of leaving was the hope that it

744
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: would be okay for them, because none of them experienced

745
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: what I experienced. I'm saying I'm the oldest. It's a

746
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: lot riding on me. I'm supposed to at least religiously

747
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: hold down the family's name at this household. You know

748
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: what I mean?

749
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 4: How much older are you than the baby and the

750
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 4: knee baby?

751
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: Like a lot older? Like if I'm thirteen, Yeah, they're

752
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: five and in pampers.

753
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 4: Wow, you go to Florida, you tell the story.

754
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 3: I've heard you you homeless, and somebody else told the

755
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: story said they were homeless, and you said they hijacked

756
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 3: your story.

757
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 4: Now, I don't know.

758
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: At thirteen, I shouldn't have to tell you I'm homeless.

759
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in Miami, Florida. I have no family members

760
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: in Florida. I couldn't buy a house if I wanted to.

761
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't get an apartment if I wanted to. I

762
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: don't have a credit history. Like this is not a

763
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: stretch for me to say that I'm homeless. I'm living

764
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: in a park in Coconut Grove. The park still exists

765
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: to this day. For eight hours a day, I would

766
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: get up and go to the library and study for

767
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: eight hours a day to increase my education. And then

768
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: I would leave out of there and go to the

769
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: marina and still car radios and make two thousand dollars

770
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: almost daily, like I had a routine.

771
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 3: So you could have played that Santa Oh thief in

772
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: Santa Claus.

773
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 4: You could have played it.

774
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: No, the Santa Claus wasn't a thief. The Santa Claus.

775
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: You can't tell me I read the script. Ricky Smiley

776
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: told you he didn't read the script. The Santa Claus

777
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: was a crackhead. He just had that outfit on. That's

778
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: what I couldn't have played Okay, Like I couldn't have

779
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: played a black guy that got raped in the bathroom.

780
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 3: Right, So at any point in times, you're like, man,

781
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: I made a mistake. Man, I should have stayed my

782
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 3: buddy in Ohio. Man, cause this is man, let's say

783
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: what I signed up for.

784
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: I didn't experience anything once I left home that I

785
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: hadn't signed up for. If anything had saved my life,

786
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 1: me being homeless for that small period of time allowed

787
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: me to see all of the people that were in

788
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: that situation, and to see that these were lawyers and

789
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: doctors and teatures, and that these people were white and

790
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: black and Asian and Indian. And the only thing that

791
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: all of these homeless people had in in common was

792
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: they made a bad decision and aligned themselves with drugs.

793
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: And I interviewed them all what drug and guess what, Shannon.

794
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: Nobody had a great story. Nobody had a great story

795
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: of what meth had done for them, what crack had

796
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: done for them, with cocaine had done for them, where

797
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: heroin had done for them, with speed had done for them.

798
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: Nobody had them stories. Everybody's story was I had my

799
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: life together, and then I decided to do this dumb thing,

800
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: and I lost my wife, I lost my house, I

801
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: lost my cars, I lost my reputation, and I'm now

802
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: out here sucking penis in the woods. What talk about

803
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: scared straight? You ain't got to worry about me. If

804
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: that ain't weed or nicotine, you won't see me touching it.

805
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: I don't want no parts. I done seen what these

806
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: things can do to people. Anything that take over your

807
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: free will is the devil itself.

808
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about what your life would have

809
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: been had you stayed in Dayton, Ohio?

810
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: No, that's like asking somebody that's in the NBA for

811
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: fourteen years, like, what would have happened if you didn't

812
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: come to the NBA. Oh I shut her to think.

813
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was what I was made for. I

814
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: thought it was what I was built for. Anybody that

815
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: knows me will tell you that when they first met

816
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: Kat Williams, when I was Cat in the Hat, and

817
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: they tell these stories about how he changed his name. Look,

818
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is Disney sued me. Yeah,

819
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: I was Cat in the Hat. They sent me a

820
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: cease and desist letter. And I'm not even making twenty

821
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a year and the Mega Company and

822
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: the Disney has sent me a cease and desist, telling

823
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: me I can't use any variations of that name. Fine,

824
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: I'm Kat Williams. That's all that happened. I have been

825
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: this same product the entire time. They will tell you

826
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: when they first saw me doing stand up, I was

827
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: just like this, this is what I bring, this my style?

828
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 4: When did it?

829
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: When?

830
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: Did you know you was going you wanted? Were you

831
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 3: always funny? Did you always want to be a comedian?

832
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: Did you stumble on a comedianship?

833
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: No? I loved what they did, and so I studied them,

834
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: all of them. I studied all of the white comedians

835
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: because I wanted to know why is Monty Python funny?

836
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: Why is Don not so talented? I wanted to know

837
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: what is George Carlin's thing like where? So I studied

838
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 1: all of the comedy masters, regardless of the field, because

839
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: I loved to like I didn't know that these people

840
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: were making a great living at doing this. I thought

841
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: this is just what they did. They tell jokes, they're

842
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: funny people. But I loved the craft, and that's why

843
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: when I got into the craft, I thought it was

844
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: my obligation to make sure that I kept writing new

845
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: materials so much that it forced these comedians to stop

846
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: doing the set they've been doing for ten years and

847
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: keep writing some new stuff. And I knew that if

848
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I could get that to take on, that most of

849
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: these bombs would have to just quit comedy because they

850
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: can't keep up. They're not gonna keep writing an hour

851
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: worth of material. I've read an hour worth of material

852
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: nineteen times. They're not gonna do it. Why because they're

853
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: not creative writers. They want to get somebody else and

854
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: have them write it and put it together.

855
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 3: So so, if i'm listening to you, correct Correign if

856
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, I think the best thing that ever happened

857
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 3: was the Internet because now they have to Like you said,

858
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 3: you could do a set and you do that. Do that.

859
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: That's set in Kansas City. People ain't hearting in San Francisco,

860
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: people ain't hurting in Miami. They hearting Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta,

861
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 3: so forth and so on. Now you do a set,

862
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 3: it's on the internet. Somebody heard it. So you can't

863
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: do a set and look it make it last three

864
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 3: months four months.

865
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't allow the regular comic the ability to

866
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: grow is The real problem, like the part of comedy

867
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: is me taking these jokes in January and by March

868
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 1: I've begun to craft this joke. It's not as simple

869
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: as it was when I wrote it. It was just

870
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: da da da da da. But now it has the

871
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: complexities of the fact that I'm having to deliver this

872
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: to an East Coast audience, a down South audience, a

873
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: Midwest audience, a Utah audience, a Colorado audience, And so

874
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: it begins to take on a different complexion because you're

875
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: having to deliver it to different people. Okay, and so

876
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: this is what sharpens your joke. You then take those

877
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: sharpened jokes that make it special, not you just randomly

878
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: take some. So it's a process. You don't allow them

879
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: to process. If the first time the guy did the joke,

880
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: now that's his joke and the joke is everywhere, that

881
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: just sets it up for people to steal.

882
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 4: So how many times must you tell a joke before

883
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 4: you master it?

884
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: How many times have you had to sleep with a

885
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: woman before you done with her? That's not fair. If

886
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: it's great, never if it ceases to have usefulness. So

887
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: it has been spoken, right.

888
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 7: I read that you was raised in Florida. You had

889
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 7: some help some ladies of the night. No, no, no,

890
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 7: that's not true.

891
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: No, that whole story doesn't take place in Florida. That

892
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: story takes place in Oklahoma City.

893
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 4: Okay.

894
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: So after I'm in Florida, I then join I try

895
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: to join the Marine Corps, and it won't accept me

896
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: because I'm too I'm too young, and I've lied and

897
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: told them I'm sixteen and my family's moving down out.

898
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't have my ID but it's coming, and so

899
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: they let me go to the boot camp. Blah blah blah.

900
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: That's not gonna work now, Okay, So I've learned that lesson.

901
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: So then I get this job selling stuff door to

902
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: door across the country, and so I've been to all

903
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: fifty states. Again, I'm thirty fourteen years old, So I

904
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: did that at While I'm doing that, one of the

905
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: places i'm at, I'm in Oklahoma, and I've decided I'm

906
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna stay here because of meeting these ladies that you're

907
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: talking about and that situation. I don't know at the

908
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: time why that's important in my life, or why it's

909
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: something I should be doing, or any of that. But

910
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: now later on it certainly helps me in formulating money.

911
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: Mike for Friday after Next and Pemp named Slickback for

912
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: the Boondocks.

913
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: Oklahoma. So San Francisco, Oklahoma, Sacramento. From Florida, you moved

914
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 3: to the West coast after so you traveling? When did

915
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 3: you set up shop on the West coast.

916
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 4: There?

917
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: So, I guess I'm uh eighteen or younger, and I

918
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: once I have my Once I have a child, I

919
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: realized that I can't. It's a lot of things that

920
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: I could use to make money that now is a

921
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: no go. So anything with street aspirations that I might

922
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: have thought about pursuing or been good at, I now

923
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: am a single parent and I got a redo these things.

924
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: So I need comedy to really work out for me.

925
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: And me and God go into extreme conversation where I'm

926
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: explaining to him that I'm a crash out dummy if

927
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: he don't send me a lifeline, like I need something

928
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: I can hold on to. Before I had left Florida,

929
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: I did stand up one time because we was trying

930
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: to get in the club. I didn't have ID, so

931
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: I said I was a comedian. They ended up having

932
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: me do five minutes. I kept that in my head

933
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: that I had done that. When we get to Oklahoma,

934
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: they're having a competition for stand up and if you win,

935
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: you get to go out on the road with Jeff

936
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: Foxworthy and Dan Whitney who is Larry the Cable Guy,

937
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: and Richard Jenny and these great comics. You get to

938
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: open for him. And once I did that, I realized, Okay,

939
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: as a comedian, I'm like way behind schedule out and

940
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 1: started this too late. All the funny guys are already

941
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: funny and no names, Like, how am I going to progress?

942
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: So I realize that I do better with a white

943
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: audience than I do with a black audience. And I'm

944
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: not sure why that's occurrent, but the white audience likes

945
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: me more. That's that's interesting. So when I moved to Sacramento,

946
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: it's because Sacramento has a white and a black audience

947
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: almost fifty to fifty. That's almost the makeup of Sacramento.

948
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: So I live in Sacramento for two years until I

949
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: get to the point where I am equally as funny

950
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: if the room is black as I am if the

951
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: room is white. That's not enough. Now I need to

952
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: be one of the good ones when it comes to

953
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: black comics. So now I have to move to Oakland.

954
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: And that's what lands me in Oakland for three years.

955
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: Once I have dominated a male black comedy in Oakland

956
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: to my liking, Now I'm prepared to go to Los Angeles. Now,

957
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: now I know you can't throw me any curveballs if

958
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: it's a white audience, if it's a black audience, no

959
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 1: matter what they are, I'm prepared to deal with all

960
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: of the audiences.

961
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 3: Do you write jokes according to the audience that you're

962
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: going to be in front of, or your joke universal?

963
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: Well, in the beginning, part of my framework is that

964
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm tailoring every show to this audience. Okay, And that's

965
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 1: how I was able to show my range and show

966
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: that I was better than my competitors, is that I'm

967
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: Kat Williams. But I was still doing clean comedy. So

968
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: I was still going to churches and doing forty five

969
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: minutes of stand up at the church with no curse words,

970
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: no sex, drug material, no none of that, just straight

971
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: stand up. And then I was doing everything else. Yeah,

972
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: that was the range. Is that where when in Rome

973
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: do as the Romans do? So that's how I started.

974
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: But as you begin to get better, you begin to

975
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: be able to speak to your entire fan base. And

976
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: that's really what's been helpful is that I've been having

977
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: the same conversation with my fan base for twelve comedy specials.

978
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 3: Is that what said Cat Williams Apart is your range

979
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 3: is that you can do a comedy do forty five

980
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 3: minutes from the church. I can go to a comedy

981
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 3: club in front of two fifty, or I can go

982
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 3: into arena with fifteen thousand.

983
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 4: That's range because everybody can't do that.

984
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: Cat, Well, if that's what range is called, then then yeah,

985
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: it's range. But I like the people I'm talking to.

986
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, So it's not like it

987
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 1: can't be condescending because I'm talking to my white male friend.

988
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: When I'm telling that white joke. Right when I'm talking

989
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: about this joke about this black lady, I know that

990
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: black lady. That's who I'm talking to. I'm I'm I'm

991
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to this fan base that I've been speaking

992
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: to from the beginning. I already told them what I

993
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: was on when I first came in. I told them

994
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: they was gonna come after me, they was gonna cancel me.

995
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: They was going say terrible things about me and try

996
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: to mess my life up. I said that, coming in

997
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: to stand up. I'm saying it.

998
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 4: Well, you knew it was gonna be.

999
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: It has to be. I know I'm going into the

1000
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: belly of the beast. How could I be naive? I

1001
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: know that I'm going into Satan's playground, But I'm trying

1002
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: to be so good that you got to bring me

1003
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: in so close that I can see who's doing what

1004
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: and what's going on in.

1005
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 4: There in San Francisco, you join the nation?

1006
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: I was ever in San Francisco. I was in Oakland.

1007
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 4: You was an Oakland Did you join the nation? Is that? Yeah?

1008
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: A minister, honorable Minister far Con and I have an

1009
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: extremely close relationship. He refers to me as one of

1010
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: his sons. So yeah, I spent a particular period of time.

1011
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: Let me explain, because my particular background was already religious

1012
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: and super strict, right. I didn't find out about other

1013
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: religions by reading about them. I went to their religion.

1014
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to learn from Jewish people from outside.

1015
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: I want to be in a synagogue. I don't want

1016
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: to learn about Muslim people from I want to be

1017
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: in a mosque. I don't want to hear about the

1018
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: Baptist or the Pentecostal. I want to go to their church,

1019
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: let's see. And so that was the religious discovery that

1020
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: I was on through that period in my life.

1021
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 4: When did you know you were funny?

1022
00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: Probably about ten years ago. Ten years ago, yeah, about

1023
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: ten years So you didn't think.

1024
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 3: So you didn't think as a child because obviously you

1025
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 3: said the very structured background, your family was very religious,

1026
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 3: so obviously you didn't get an opportunity.

1027
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, like I never did a talent show. I

1028
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: was never any any extracurricular activities. I was never in drama.

1029
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: I was never in band camp. I was never a

1030
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: boy scout.

1031
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 4: You stay in school long enough to get for it

1032
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 4: because you dropped.

1033
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: You understand, you understand. So there was no like, I

1034
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't tolerate high school games. I didn't go

1035
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: to high school. Don't. I don't know how most of

1036
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: the games they think I play, I'm not even aware

1037
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 1: of them.

1038
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 4: But cap for you to get on stage.

1039
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 3: And like I said, a lot of people, like a

1040
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 3: lot of comedians that I had a few here, they're like, okay,

1041
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 3: you know I told Joe to get girls.

1042
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: I told Joe to, you know, get people to laugh

1043
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 4: at someone else.

1044
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: But you, it's like you say, you did comedy one

1045
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: time in Florida. Yeah, and you had this other opportunity

1046
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 3: like in Oklahoma that they were gonna take you out

1047
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 3: if you won the talent show, you was gonna go

1048
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 3: on the road with these these well known comedians.

1049
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: And I did.

1050
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, how in Florida at thirteen, fourteen

1051
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 3: years of age, you like sixteen, I.

1052
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 4: Could do that.

1053
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: Well because I knew that there were a lot of

1054
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: other things I could do, Like when I looked at

1055
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: drug dealers, I thought I could do that. Yeah, but

1056
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean so right, and who doesn't like that? Right,

1057
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out I'm gonna make it, but

1058
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: now that I gotta do it on this side. But no,

1059
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: your question was when did I think I was funny?

1060
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: I never was my biggest fan. To this day, I'm

1061
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: not the biggest fan. I'm a fan of comedy. I

1062
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: like great comedians, like I like Chappelle, I like Patresea O'Neill,

1063
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: like I like the greats of comedy because I do

1064
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: like I like Ron White, I like Bill Enpall like

1065
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I know comics, like people that did the craft. They

1066
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: raised me. I was touring with Steve Marmel and Richard

1067
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: Jenny and Real Journeyman. So my comedy upbringing was standard.

1068
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: I thought you had to work all night, every night,

1069
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: all around the country, and you had to write jokes,

1070
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and that you were trying to write jokes that other

1071
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: people weren't writing, and that your job was to be funnier.

1072
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: People that know me will tell you I've been on this.

1073
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: I had a list of all the black comedians that

1074
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: were more famous than me. There was three hundred of

1075
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: them on the list, and I had to be able

1076
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: to cross them all out before I could make it

1077
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: to the next level. Before I felt like I was

1078
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: funny enough to do that. And so I I appreciate

1079
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: what competition does for sports, and for my particular sport

1080
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: and comedy is a sports.

1081
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 3: What gave you the comedies that you could get on stage?

1082
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: You remember I was five years old on stage. Okay,

1083
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: that's but I was reiterating God's word at that point. Now,

1084
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I just have to make sure that the content is good.

1085
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: If the content is good, what part can I not do?

1086
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm a vessel, He's given me these gifts to be

1087
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: able to do certain things, So I just want to

1088
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: utilize them in my craft, that's all.

1089
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: Do you remember your first set? How about five ten minutes?

1090
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: No? No, I think three minutes.

1091
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 3: Three minutes standing ovation, bulls, some plaw some years.

1092
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: No, none of that. They they appallauded like I was

1093
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: a professional at it. But now looking back, I understand,

1094
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: because you got to understand, they were all thinking, he

1095
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: don't even look old enough to be in here, and

1096
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: we don't have any black guys that live in this town, right,

1097
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Where did he come from? And then he gets up

1098
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,959
Speaker 1: there and for three minutes he talked about the fact

1099
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: that he is the entire black community, right, and he

1100
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: is as disappointed in them. It looked like they looking

1101
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: for where the rest of them is, and so is he,

1102
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: And that was his set. But I understood from that

1103
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: point that the truth is really the commodity and the

1104
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: fact that we are all individuals and all separate and

1105
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: all our own islands. But not in real life. In

1106
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: real life, it's only five or six different types of people,

1107
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: and you gonna see them everywhere that you go, and

1108
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: all like all my enemies all look the same in

1109
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: the eyes, whether it's faise On, wander Aria Spears, they

1110
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: all looks like and.

1111
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 4: What you got to get sight? You think.

1112
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't rumor that, sir, Wander Sights and wander Smith

1113
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: are two separate people. And I.

1114
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 4: Wonder Sights.

1115
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I love Wanda, and I agree.

1116
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 4: I love that's my girl. But I remember on the radio.

1117
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 3: You went on the radio interview if I'm not gonna

1118
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 3: sake that Atlanta right, and you came on there with

1119
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 3: seemingly good intention, and she attacked you.

1120
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that part. It was the fact that

1121
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: before I go in there, she has a conversation about Okay, now,

1122
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I just want to talk to you because you just

1123
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: wanted Emmy for the city of Atlanta, and this isn't Atlanta,

1124
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: and they just want to hear about the Emmy and

1125
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: hear from you and to thank you for what you

1126
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: did putting the city on. And we won't talk about

1127
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: your kids, we won't talk about jail, no cases, we

1128
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna talk about none of that. Right, and immediately

1129
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: gets in there and goes to opposite way. You can't

1130
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: flip up on me because you're an inferior comedian. I'm

1131
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: going to destroy you. And I'm never gonna call you

1132
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: out of your name. I'm never gonna say anything disrespectful

1133
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: the people that look like you. It's a very thin line.

1134
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I got a call, but this lady is trying to

1135
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: embarrass me in front of a largely homosexual fan base.

1136
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: That's why she got canceled. Gay people don't take it

1137
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: kindly that you would as a derogatory call me gay.

1138
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Gay people don't feel like it's derogatory. So why are

1139
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: you trying to shame me with something in the community

1140
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't even belong in. There's no gay people saying

1141
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I belong over there or been over there, But I

1142
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: have no hatred of over there. And how dare you?

1143
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 4: Hey, you did a numb that's legendary.

1144
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: No, you either believe in karma or you don't. Because

1145
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I didn't even know any of the stuff that she

1146
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: had done to my fellow comedians until afterwards. I just

1147
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: know she that it was a setup. And remember they

1148
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: they tried to kill me this same weekend, not in jokes,

1149
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: with a real gun, in my real face, on real camera. Understand,

1150
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: I'm losing my life for participating in something that goes

1151
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: along with my job. Like this, two comedians, what do

1152
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: you mean? And the world was okay with it because

1153
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: it was me. Had that happened to anyone else? The

1154
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: world went crazy when Will Smack smacked Chris. This is

1155
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: a person pulling a whole gun on a comedian in

1156
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the confines of their job. It's really a weird situation

1157
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: when they hate you that bad.

1158
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you felt she hated you at that moment

1159
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 3: because you mentioned that she said he was gonna be

1160
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 3: very professional. All you want to Emmy, congratulations, you put

1161
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 3: the city on you own for the city, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1162
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: And now did she mention anything about the Emmy on camera?

1163
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: I believe you saw the video and you know that

1164
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: none of that took place. See that. The issue is

1165
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that all the comedians have to come do these radio

1166
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: stations because you have to sell your tickets, and so

1167
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: that means you have to go to the radio. Yes,

1168
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't go to the radio station, and I don't

1169
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: make posts to sell tickets. I just don't. So you've

1170
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: not seen me. I haven't. I'm not here in some

1171
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: subservient position or as somebody sent me over.

1172
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm you hear out of the cantis of yard you are.

1173
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm saying yes, yes, situations.

1174
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's sure.

1175
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah and this person knew I wasn't there for that

1176
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: or yeah, it's.

1177
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 3: But how hard because you have to understand she is

1178
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 3: a female, and so you have to be careful.

1179
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 4: You have to handle her with kid gloves.

1180
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 1: Sir, Sir, you want to go ahead and take that out.

1181
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to be against equality, dude, what you

1182
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: just said was very unequal. Sir, But you think maybe

1183
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: you've had enough of this because I think I just

1184
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: heard you saying that women are not equal as you'ld

1185
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: be treated on e They want to be treated me

1186
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: as a comedian.

1187
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 3: No, no, they want Listen, you understand, and I understand

1188
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 3: in certain situations they want to be treated equal, not

1189
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 3: all situations.

1190
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: And and what part of what you saw her get

1191
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: what part would have been different if she was a man,

1192
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,560
Speaker 1: It would have just been more vicious.

1193
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 4: That's my point.

1194
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: I took all the vicious and then them long way

1195
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: because I didn't have any Plus I understood, I'm not

1196
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: trying to offend black women with short hair. I'm not

1197
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: trying to offend heavyset women. I'm not trying to upset

1198
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: fellow comedians. I'm not trying to do any of that,

1199
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: and I can't. I am qualified to be able to

1200
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: do none of that and still eviscerate you because I'm

1201
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: smart enough to know that I need to say that

1202
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: you have gnarled fingers because I know you're living and

1203
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: that education means you don't know what the word means,

1204
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: so you can't possibly respond to it. You're not sure

1205
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: of the meaning. And I'm going to continue hitting you

1206
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: because this is what comedians do. You've been masquerating that

1207
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:19,440
Speaker 1: you're a comedian too, and that's the fallacy. So nobody

1208
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: in boxing fights out of their weight class. If you're

1209
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: a one hundred and thirty pounder, you don't just show

1210
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: up with the one sixty pounders. You stay in your

1211
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 1: weight class.

1212
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Is that what you wanted to do? That she was

1213
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 3: out of her league when it came to because.

1214
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do any of it. I know

1215
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: you didn't want it to do it, but what she

1216
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: took it there?

1217
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 4: Did you feel that you had to go there?

1218
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

1219
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 3: You you could have say, Wanda, I didn't come here

1220
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 3: for that. I just want to do the interview. I

1221
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 3: just want to talk about what happened?

1222
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh you misunderstand my job. My job is to be funny. Haha.

1223
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: My job is to be funny first. My first job

1224
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: is to be funny. My second job is to be respectful.

1225
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: My third job is to be immaculate and gaza strip it. Huh.

1226
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: That's non political. I'm saying. If you do it, you

1227
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: let a terrorist accidentally touch over here, and I won't

1228
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: stop burning you down until there ain't nothing left. It'll

1229
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: literally be rubble on top of rubble, and I'll still

1230
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,839
Speaker 1: be bombing. Why, Because that's why you should mind your business.

1231
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: This is what f around and find out is about. Right.

1232
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 4: Have you ever been boot caped? Yes?

1233
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.

1234
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 4: What was that feeding like? Did it like want to

1235
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 4: give up? Because we don't?

1236
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean, because when you have, I mean, I don't

1237
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 3: know how early it was in your career. Obviously it

1238
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 3: hadn't been in the I don't think it's in the

1239
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 3: last decade, because you've been immaculate.

1240
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Have you ever dropped the past? I have, I've been,

1241
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, the little segment between everything is fine and

1242
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: I got it and then you noticing where it is now. Yeah,

1243
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: it's that The thing about as a comedian The audience's

1244
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 1: opinion is the only opinion that matters, not you the writer,

1245
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: not none of that. And so I don't think any

1246
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: comedian has ever been booed unnecessarily either. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1247
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying. What what do they

1248
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: say when a guy shoots the airball in the NBA?

1249
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: They say air ball and make sure everybody knows. But again,

1250
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: he still got to get back on de like the

1251
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: game didn't end. He don't get throw his hands up

1252
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: and sunk. That's supposed to be used as a learning experience.

1253
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Most comedians don't get booed enough. I mean, this is

1254
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: how you end up with a Michael Blackson who's a

1255
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: real African doing a fake African accent. Okay, this guy

1256
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: is mad at me. All I did was give him

1257
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: the best advice of his life. Remember he was wearing

1258
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: dirty dashiki and I told him he needed to dress

1259
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: to be in the position that he's trying to say

1260
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: that he's in. And if you're the African King of comedy, sir,

1261
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 1: there's actually comedians in Africa doing comedy. If you're gonna

1262
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: say that, you gotta go to Africa and get a

1263
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: school dude. Everybody got you gotta put in some work.

1264
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: And these guys they take my advice, they change their

1265
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: whole persona, and then they hate me for it. And

1266
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: generally I'm just too big to comment or make a

1267
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: statement about it, or do a live or any of that.

1268
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: But when it gets to be a whole grouping of

1269
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: these guys, I gotta come and talk to Shannon. I

1270
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: gotta lay down at the altar.

1271
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 4: You know, every comedian, this, this.

1272
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Is the other side of Kirk Franklin, Prince, this is

1273
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 1: the reckon.

1274
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four.

1275
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 3: You watched that. You know, every comedian that's been on

1276
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 3: my show. You know you watched every episode, because that's.

1277
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: Not what you said. You said, I know every you

1278
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: know every comedian. You're limiting me.

1279
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Oh, you watched every episode because you you know things.

1280
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: You know thaves that. That's always where I'm trying to

1281
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: come from, whether it's comedic or otherwise. That's why even

1282
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: if you see me get arrested ten times in a

1283
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: row on TV as a fan of mine, you can

1284
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: be like, he's gonna be right out. Yeah, but they

1285
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,799
Speaker 1: just said he didn't do it. He couldn't. It's stupid?

1286
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: Why would he do something stupid knowing he got to

1287
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: come back and talk to us. Nah, they respect that

1288
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: every time it happens. I'm gonna be free as a

1289
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: bird sitting out here talking to you about it, that

1290
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 1: it really was what I said it was.

1291
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 4: That's all you end up, You Tom down, You're in LA. Yeah.

1292
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:22,480
Speaker 4: Now I'm reading.

1293
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 3: Cat Williams won Entertainers and how's a Bush? The Best

1294
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Comic Award?

1295
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 4: Did you win? That award? Won? Cat Williams. It's a

1296
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 4: simple yes or no. It's not a rhetorical question.

1297
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: It's a question that probably should have been asked to entertainer.

1298
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 4: I'm asking you.

1299
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: I got you here, though I know I couldn't believe

1300
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: sent or didn't get asked that question. You still a

1301
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: dude's joking to give him a award and then tell

1302
01:14:53,720 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: him laying you don't know nothing about it. Hey, but

1303
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,799
Speaker 1: I promise you this, if he sees me again before

1304
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: he sees you, he'll be talking different when you see it,

1305
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: That's for certain. That's the difference. That's what these comics

1306
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: understand is that I'm not doing nothing for Cloud. I

1307
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: don't even recognize Cloud. But eventually the Lord is gonna

1308
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: let me and you be in one hallway. A lot

1309
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: of these dudes go. Kevin Harden went twenty five years

1310
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: without ever being in the same building with me at

1311
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the same time. If I go in the building, he

1312
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: walk out. You've never seen us in the same building

1313
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: ever in twenty five years. Like it's like that, Why why?

1314
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: Because I'm really the product. It's not what you think.

1315
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: I am never under the influence of anything. I'm always

1316
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: in my right mind. I'm always a physical specimen. And

1317
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 1: when you see me, I'm much much bigger than you

1318
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 1: had thought. I have far less play in me than

1319
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: you would like, and I'm relentless. I'm out there. I'm

1320
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: still to this day, I play eleven games of basketball

1321
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: with a twenty year old. The record is ninety two

1322
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: and six. This is just in the yard, just to

1323
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: the rack.

1324
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 3: Just because you work out care y'ah, I mean no,

1325
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 3: you work out cat, not to the gym.

1326
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 4: You don't work out the gym. You push up sit ups.

1327
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: My whole life was it was just push ups and

1328
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: setups only. I would do like one hundred push ups

1329
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 1: a day.

1330
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 4: Just I thought you was gonna say a thousand.

1331
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because this is literally every day. This

1332
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: is not for the yeah, for the graund you know

1333
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, like literally one hundred a day. And

1334
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: I would do push ups and then I tore both

1335
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: my rotator cuffs and so it was only thanks to

1336
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: golf that I was even able to get mine. I've

1337
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: been a golfer for quite some time. I shore game

Speaker 1: I'm still I'm I'm still coming in for par guaranteed.

1341
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 4: Are you playing for the tips?

1342
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Uh? No, I've found that you don't get anything for that.

1343
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: It seems like it seems very ego monologal. They go, hey,

Speaker 1: because I'm a happy person. I laugh all day long.
