Speaker 1: Are you going back and forth with you there? Full time? Haws?
Speaker 1: That working, So let's just put it out there. Done
Speaker 1: with the wife. The wife is done with the big news.
Speaker 1: That's address that we are active. We are actively in
Speaker 1: the middle of a divorce that I've been trying to
Speaker 1: get for the past two years. Actually, congratulations, I hope
Speaker 1: you're this is okay. Congratulations is a great thing. Okay, good. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people say, oh, I'm sorry. I'm like, nope, it's a
Speaker 1: good thing to get out of toxic relationships. I just
Speaker 1: want to put that out there. I am really glad
Speaker 1: to hear that. Punkke, and I hope it's going all
Speaker 1: right these proceedings. You know what it's going, how it's going.
Speaker 1: It's been a hassle looking for her and getting her
Speaker 1: to do these papers. But other than that, I don't
Speaker 1: even care as long as it's in process and I'm healthier,
Speaker 1: my skin looks better. So so have you felt free?
Speaker 1: Have you felt free and single for a while? Are
Speaker 1: you still in the mess of that? So it's been
Speaker 1: two years since I started the process. The first year
Speaker 1: I was a home and I mean I cut up.
Speaker 1: I was out every night, spending money, drinking. I had
Speaker 1: just got slow. Yeah, I had left her before I
Speaker 1: got SNL though, so it's not like I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't even have the audition for ES ANDL at that point.
Speaker 1: But I got out of there. Then after I left her,
Speaker 1: I thought it booking stuff. I got SNL, I moved out,
Speaker 1: I got a new apartment. Like great things started to
Speaker 1: happen after I left, and um, it's been great. I
Speaker 1: honestly forgot what the question was because I started rambling ahead.
Speaker 1: The question was have you felt and or are you
Speaker 1: still in the mess of it? Oh? That's what it was, Okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: So I hold out for a little bit. I wild
Speaker 1: out because you know, I was with her for a
Speaker 1: long time and very young. M I was since I
Speaker 1: mean we were off and on. We were together for
Speaker 1: twelve years and then we broke up for three years, right,
Speaker 1: but we was on and off those three years. So
Speaker 1: I was wilding out, just tab it then. But then
Speaker 1: I got married. But I don't know what it feels
Speaker 1: like to be in a relationship with nobody but her.
Speaker 1: So um, like I said, I hold out for a
Speaker 1: little bit. But then I, out of the blue, I
Speaker 1: met this really gentle soul. And I've always said I'm
Speaker 1: never getting married again. It was trash da da da
Speaker 1: da da, and I'm actually thinking love is possible again.
Speaker 1: So it's been one year now, Wow, and where did
Speaker 1: you meet this? I met her in Rhode Island. I
Speaker 1: was on stage my first time headlining as a comedian,
Speaker 1: and she just stands up and she's like, I just
Speaker 1: want to let you know why I came here for you.
Speaker 1: And I was like, sit your stupid ass down, and
Speaker 1: you know, we don't like all of that. While we
Speaker 1: I was like, shut your ass up, you know me,
Speaker 1: y'all stopped going crazy popping off at the mouth, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: but we had this really interesting, like ten minute talk.
Speaker 1: While I was on stage. The audience swamped. There was
Speaker 1: like no, don't worry about us to her and um,
Speaker 1: and then afterwards I just thought it was what it was,
Speaker 1: and I went to my green room and I turned
Speaker 1: around and she was like right there. She's like, no,
Speaker 1: what was all that? You was talking back down stage?
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, what's you're doing? And
Speaker 1: security came up, the manager came up and then like
Speaker 1: punking you. All right, we gotta get this crazy bit
Speaker 1: out of here. I was like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I want to see what. She took a mask off
Speaker 1: by this, so now I see she's very pretty, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm like okay, let's talk. And then, of course I
Speaker 1: was still married, but she didn't know I was in
Speaker 1: process of the divorce. But her friends were like, she's married.
Speaker 1: Get out of there. She's married. And she looked at
Speaker 1: me and she said, you think you're about to have
Speaker 1: me in a triangle? You you you think you're about
Speaker 1: to do that to me? And she like walked out.
Speaker 1: She's like, I ain't got time, and she walked out,
Speaker 1: I mean stormed off, walking out, And I was so
Speaker 1: mad that she left me, because I'm like, if you
Speaker 1: would have listened to my set, you dumb bitch, you
Speaker 1: would have heard what was going on. So I chased
Speaker 1: after her and I grabbed her and I turned her
Speaker 1: around and I was like, if you won't cha chattering
Speaker 1: doing my whole set, you would have known what's been
Speaker 1: going on in my life. And then it was like
Speaker 1: a movie. We just she just looked at me like,
Speaker 1: oh did you chase me? And we just we just
Speaker 1: started kissing. Didn't even know each other, and it just
Speaker 1: it's it's just I've just been at peace ever since
Speaker 1: that day. Ever since that day, I just been like,
Speaker 1: she's such a giving person, like I've never been with
Speaker 1: a giver. I'm not saying my wife was a taker,
Speaker 1: but she definitely wanted to give her. But but this
Speaker 1: just this woman is just like she's you know, it's
Speaker 1: she reminds me of my mother. I think that's what
Speaker 1: it is. Wow. Just kind and soft, um blunt when
Speaker 1: she needs to be, and she can cook her ass
Speaker 1: offa The first time me, I was on FaceTime, I said,
Speaker 1: what you're doing? She said, oh, I'm cooking, and she
Speaker 1: from rolling out and so I was like, girl, you
Speaker 1: aren't cooking nothing. And she showed me the part she
Speaker 1: was making smother cabbage. I say, a girl, I know
Speaker 1: you're not making cabbage. She said yeah, because I thought
Speaker 1: only people from the South knew how to make cabbage.
Speaker 1: And where she from? You from Rhode Island. Rhode Island,
Speaker 1: all right, small small town. I called Rhode Island the
Speaker 1: god forsaken town because the sun is never out, is
Speaker 1: always raining or snowing or dark outside. It's like a lasca.
Speaker 1: It's like, why is it only bright three months out
Speaker 1: of yeah? Out here? I got two questions because it's
Speaker 1: very interesting your story and it is like a movie.
Speaker 1: Well one, it's a very nice thing to say about
Speaker 1: your mama space, because I think most people try to
Speaker 1: avoid ending up with their parents. But if you're actively
Speaker 1: I try to be with your mom, that's probably I
Speaker 1: was wondering if that sounded kind of weird. No, it's
Speaker 1: no way, It's lovely. As I think most people. I
Speaker 1: think what happens is from what I read of therapy books, etc.
Speaker 1: Everyone ends up with their parents. They try not to,
Speaker 1: they sort of go the opposite way, and then somehow
Speaker 1: they end up. Oh fuck, you're just like my mum,
Speaker 1: even though I thought you were the opposite of my mum,
Speaker 1: Whereas in your case, it sounds like you want that,
Speaker 1: so you may as well I skipped a bit where
Speaker 1: you think they're not and go straight towards it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's I'm very happy for you. I'm excited to hear this.
Speaker 1: So that's going on in your love life and in
Speaker 1: your work life. You got s andl Now, well, I
Speaker 1: guess there's everyone wants to know all sorts of things
Speaker 1: about us, And now I guess the first thing I'd
Speaker 1: like to know is what was your stand What was
Speaker 1: your audition? Because I've seen your stand up with some
Speaker 1: of my favorite stand up, but I would also say
Speaker 1: it is stand up that in no way can be
Speaker 1: on the network TV. So I wondered, what your audition was?
Speaker 1: It cannot. Yeah, I did a college the other day,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, well, y'all, I'll learned the
Speaker 1: day because you're gonna I'm not shrinking and I'm not
Speaker 1: changing nothing up. Y'all gonna get this real okay? But
Speaker 1: SNL okay. When I auditioned for SNL, which it was
Speaker 1: a great season for me because it was the pandemic. Yes,
Speaker 1: and usually if your audition you have to go to
Speaker 1: New York, but since it was a pandemic, I had
Speaker 1: to do everything on videotape, which was a monstrous victory
Speaker 1: for me. Because I am very awkward in rom auditions.
Speaker 1: I would not have I know for a fact, I
Speaker 1: would not have gotten this job if I had to
Speaker 1: go there. And second, I was very surprised to get
Speaker 1: the opportunity to audition because I never thought I would
Speaker 1: be on network TV ever because of my stand up.
Speaker 1: So I was like me so off the bad, I
Speaker 1: just didn't even believe in myself. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get it. I'm gonna do these little characters. They
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like it whatever, and I sent the six
Speaker 1: six characters. I think I sent the like Kerry Washington,
Speaker 1: of course, WHOOPI Goldberg, Mary J. Blige, and like two
Speaker 1: other things that I made up of something, and I
Speaker 1: just sent the in. I forgot I senting, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what if I'm never gonna hit from those
Speaker 1: people again? And then like I think a month later,
Speaker 1: they were like, hey, you know you got a callback fast.
Speaker 1: And then I was like what they say. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: say you can send in the same audition or you
Speaker 1: can do a different audition. I say, oh no, hell no.
Speaker 1: And then I thought it was like oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they really looking. Then I'm gonna give them something for real.
Speaker 1: So then I sent the in. I added six more
Speaker 1: characters to the previous one. So then I sent them
Speaker 1: twelve characters. Wow, what were they having? Six? Do you remember?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It was like this is how black people.
Speaker 1: It's the stuff I started making up, like this is
Speaker 1: how black people break up character I think I did
Speaker 1: Black people break up place. It was like, um, it
Speaker 1: was like it started off where I had this piece
Speaker 1: of paper and my husband came home and I was like,
Speaker 1: how are you doing, mister pockets? Why do I call
Speaker 1: you mister pockets? Because I found this in your pockets,
Speaker 1: That's why. And I was like, I can't take it.
Speaker 1: Them get out, and then I put like this this
Speaker 1: crazy dramatic music in the background, and I put my
Speaker 1: face really into the camera like this. After I told
Speaker 1: him to get out. I said, you really gonna leave
Speaker 1: after I told you to leave, because you know that
Speaker 1: you're not gonna stay after I told you go, You're
Speaker 1: not gonna stay and fake sick. You know what, don't
Speaker 1: try to stay because I told you to stay. And
Speaker 1: now that you say stay, you try to stay. Get
Speaker 1: out where you going? Like it was? It was, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny and auditional course, but and
Speaker 1: then I had all these crazy wigs that and they
Speaker 1: kept like they kept coming off. But I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not even gonna try to make
Speaker 1: them perfect if they're coming off, let them come off
Speaker 1: if they if I'm doing this, because I felt that
Speaker 1: it added whatever it added, because you know, I was
Speaker 1: like at that point, I had nothing to lose, you know, like,
Speaker 1: now it's a fifty percent chance you're gonna get it
Speaker 1: or you're not. And I ended up get I did
Speaker 1: it was so crazy. It was very bizarre. Tell me
Speaker 1: about if you can, like day one, were you very nervous?
Speaker 1: Was it overwhelming? One thing about SNL is they are
Speaker 1: very comforting, you know when when you go in that build.
Speaker 1: The one thing that was worth was bad was the
Speaker 1: COVID situation and we really couldn't make friends last year,
Speaker 1: and I was kind of really just on my own
Speaker 1: and I just got thrown in up. You know, I
Speaker 1: just basically got thrown in the pool and was told
Speaker 1: to swim. But I'm pretty that was not their intention.
Speaker 1: It was just it was just COVID. I was nervous,
Speaker 1: but everybody was so kind and if I needed help,
Speaker 1: I got help. And they're not. It's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a good job to have. It's stressful, very very stressful.
Speaker 1: You work every single day. Sometimes you work all day.
Speaker 1: They got days like you always on call, even when
Speaker 1: you're not there, you're on call, like like for instance,
Speaker 1: just what I mean by on call, Like Friday. I
Speaker 1: was off on Friday, which was great. I got the
Speaker 1: box all day. I was with my trainer all day
Speaker 1: watching people spar kind of learning footwork and stuff. And
Speaker 1: then I was like, you know what I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: do some comedy tonight. But then something told me don't
Speaker 1: do it. Something said go home. So I come home.
Speaker 1: It's out of put some chicken in the oven. I
Speaker 1: got some asparagus on the stove. I'm cooking. Iota took
Speaker 1: all my clothes off and button nick and I'm watching
Speaker 1: grizz In the anime. All of a sudden, my phone
Speaker 1: start ringing ten forty five. We gotta get you. We
Speaker 1: gotta drive and come and pick you up at all
Speaker 1: at this time. You gotta be on set by eleven fifteen.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh lord, well, I guess I gotta take
Speaker 1: the chicken out the oven and put a fucking bright on.
Speaker 1: So I get out there, I go to work. As
Speaker 1: soon as I get to work, they say, you know what,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it tomorrow. But that's the But that's
Speaker 1: why I can't make like people always think I'm giving
Speaker 1: them to run around, and I'm like, no, I actually
Speaker 1: really cannot. Every single time I booked something with somebody else,
Speaker 1: playing something with somebody, it is a I have to cancel.
Speaker 1: You're like a doctor. You're a doctor of the sketch comedy, right,
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm just like, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: play I'm always telling people, let's play it by ear.
Speaker 1: Monday is a good day because Monday we work from home.
Speaker 1: Everything's on zoom on Mondays, right, so Monday is a
Speaker 1: good day. And what how is the Because you know,
Speaker 1: I work with Jason Sudeikis says, you know, he was
Speaker 1: on it for ten years. I believe in and I've
Speaker 1: spoken to quite a few people have done SNL and
Speaker 1: it sounds like it must be very hard. I guess
Speaker 1: the thing I'm curious about is like managing your own
Speaker 1: ego in terms of every week you cannot be on it.
Speaker 1: You can be on it next week, you can not
Speaker 1: be on it the week after that. So there's no
Speaker 1: It's a constant roller coaster of you're, you're, you're, you're big,
Speaker 1: You're not big, you're you know, and how do you
Speaker 1: cope with that? How do you cope with that part
Speaker 1: of it? Meditation? Yeah, is it? I have never meditated
Speaker 1: in my life. I I've always been Christian, I've always prayed,
Speaker 1: but this job has driven me into going back to
Speaker 1: therapy and some meditation. It's it's really really like, it's
Speaker 1: the great thing about it is. It's nothing personal. It's
Speaker 1: just not what it is, and it it messes with
Speaker 1: your heart, you know, like and I went my heart
Speaker 1: on my sleeve. But good thing I got thick skin
Speaker 1: because my mother don't play all of that foolishness. So
Speaker 1: I meditate every day, at least fifteen minutes a day.
Speaker 1: I say, I say my little mantra, I take deep,
Speaker 1: very very deep breadths, and and I just cope. And
Speaker 1: it has zended me out this season. You know, of course,
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that I'm numb. I can't say
Speaker 1: that I do still feel but I feel it better
Speaker 1: now now I'm at first I'll be like, man, what
Speaker 1: am I doing here? So now I'm kind of just
Speaker 1: like you know, it is what it is. You know,
Speaker 1: I got paid. I'm on a really great show, and
Speaker 1: this is a great problem when I have, I got
Speaker 1: my bills paid, I have a great fan. Like now
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the good things more and complaining less.
Speaker 1: And it's a it's a hell of a sort of
Speaker 1: a training ground for everything as well. Right, You're constantly
Speaker 1: you're constantly creating, constantly writing yes, yes, and what about
Speaker 1: the actual performing it? When like last last week, I'm
Speaker 1: glad I'm seeing you this week's last week you had
Speaker 1: a banging sketch and then and and was it Did
Speaker 1: you get nervous when you're doing it or is it
Speaker 1: just you know, sometimes it really really depends. But for
Speaker 1: the most part, like when I get on a comedy
Speaker 1: stage like you you know how it is like I'm very,
Speaker 1: very nervous before they comment to go on stage. But
Speaker 1: once I'm up there, I'm up there and I just
Speaker 1: feel like I'm home because this is what I was
Speaker 1: going to do. Yeah, you know, I'm not too much
Speaker 1: of a character actor, but if they asked me to
Speaker 1: do something, I'm pretty sure that I'm capable of doing it.
Speaker 1: But as of right now, I just pride myself on
Speaker 1: having really good comedic timing as to you know why
Speaker 1: I think I'm still there because I do have the
Speaker 1: potential to be a character actor. I just don't know
Speaker 1: how to get the things in my head out right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they but they're helping me to do it, so
Speaker 1: that's good. I relate to this, and I've I've started
Speaker 1: to think it's different as in a different point is
Speaker 1: when I they stand up, I think I'm always nervous,
Speaker 1: always every time just before it. It can be depends
Speaker 1: on sort of the size of the gig. It might
Speaker 1: be five minutes before going on, it might be half
Speaker 1: a day, could be a week, depends I think the gigging.
Speaker 1: But once I'm on stage and I've taken the mic,
Speaker 1: I'm fine always pretty much, And I always think about
Speaker 1: it and I'm like, why do I go through that?
Speaker 1: Why does my body sort of not remember You're going
Speaker 1: to be fine what you're nervous about. But I've started
Speaker 1: to think that it's not necessarily nerves, that it's like adrenaline,
Speaker 1: that it's your body going you need this bit because
Speaker 1: this is the thing that's then going to make you
Speaker 1: good once you're there. Do you think that never thought
Speaker 1: about it that way, But now that you say it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can agree. I can agreethe that I
Speaker 1: because every time I have that feeling, I just I
Speaker 1: sit there and shake it off. I'm like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is I'm like this what you here for? This?
Speaker 1: What you here for? Baby? You know you gotta talk
Speaker 1: to yourself. Come on now, come on, because because guess
Speaker 1: what you're going out there recalls Yes, you can stop
Speaker 1: the show. So let's go You're gonna do it anyway,
Speaker 1: to fucking do it. This is this is my new thing.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it anyway. Why waste the time where
Speaker 1: you worry about should I be doing it? You're fucking
Speaker 1: doing it. You know you're gonna do it. Okay, stop
Speaker 1: the show, the carousel, I'll never stop turning. Let's go
Speaker 1: show you wanted the show. It's fucking happened. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like you. So I have decided to bring you
Speaker 1: back to life. You have been resurrected. But what time
Speaker 1: in your life would you like to be brought back
Speaker 1: to the present or the past? Is there something you
Speaker 1: regret you would like to fix? Where would you like
Speaker 1: to come back to? Punky Johnson, please say now, present, now,
Speaker 1: right now? Love it right now. You wouldn't change anything
Speaker 1: in history. You wouldn't fix COVID. You just come back
Speaker 1: to Oh I got this job because of COVID. I
Speaker 1: love COVID. N Okay, come back to nothing. That's a lovely,
Speaker 1: lovely positive thing. Now, when you've been brought back to life,
Speaker 1: everyone is very happy to see you. They still want
Speaker 1: to talk about your life through films. It's not that
Speaker 1: much different from being dead. In a way. But you're
Speaker 1: alive again. So that's good, isn't it. Basically anyway, the
Speaker 1: first thing, the first thing they ask you, is the
Speaker 1: people excited to see you include it. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: you're back. What was the last film you saw? Punky
Speaker 1: Johnson and the reason why I'm so happy to do this,
Speaker 1: And I needed it to be on Monday because every
Speaker 1: Sunday I laid out on the phone and watch movies
Speaker 1: with my with my girls. So we watched movies to
Speaker 1: We're so Weird and We're weird, And we watched three
Speaker 1: movies yesterday and the last one we watched was Any
Speaker 1: Given Sunday with l l Alp Puccino Jennie Foxx. Yep, yep,
Speaker 1: I love Any Giving Sunday doesn't hold up. I actually
Speaker 1: haven't seen it in years, but I really loved it
Speaker 1: back in the day. That's why I watched it, because
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it since probably the day it came out.
Speaker 1: And when I saw it was on Netflix. After we
Speaker 1: watched her two cute little movies, I said, can we
Speaker 1: watch a football movie? Well movie? We watched Monster in
Speaker 1: Law and actually, I do really like this other movie.
Speaker 1: I'm about to say, it's actually on the list because
Speaker 1: I really really like this movie. But something's gotta give.
Speaker 1: We watched that one too. It's Monst's with Jane Funding
Speaker 1: and Wanda Sykes. Yes, wow, I mean it's the heck
Speaker 1: of a cast. Is it good? Oh my god? You
Speaker 1: know mystin law man, Jane Fonder is hilarious. She she
Speaker 1: just everything she do, all her choices she made in
Speaker 1: that I was just like, I loved this lady. I
Speaker 1: loved this lady. And then Wanda Sykes come in with
Speaker 1: her stupid side side comments and remarks and just holding
Speaker 1: up the crazy weird old my, Oh my god, it
Speaker 1: was It's just so funny. And then of course, you know,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopass is one of the prettiest women I've ever
Speaker 1: put laid my eyes on. I love her. I think
Speaker 1: she's so sexy. Yes, yes, and then punk, Oh my god, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We we we will fight Ben together, Yes,
Speaker 1: then we were battle or maybe we can talk to
Speaker 1: her and see where her head is on polygamy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe we can. I'm very happy with that arrangement actually,
Speaker 1: And also hearing that you've been training in boxing, I
Speaker 1: don't want to fight you, I will see live in Harmony.
Speaker 1: In Harmony, what's a life? What's a life? That'll be great?
Speaker 1: He was the other one, it's what's the other film?
Speaker 1: The other one is something I actually have on the
Speaker 1: list because if I can't lie, it's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies. Is um, Something's Gotta Give? Oh love it?
Speaker 1: And you know, come on, I mean it's it's Jack Nicholson,
Speaker 1: you know, playing not the bad guy, you know, and
Speaker 1: Dan Keaton doing a very good crying montage. So hang
Speaker 1: on any giving Sunday holds up. I forgot how kind
Speaker 1: of boring and again even Sunday and I felt so
Speaker 1: bad to put my girl through that. But you know
Speaker 1: how it is like we started it, we gotta finish it.
Speaker 1: I can't be the person fighting for this movie. And
Speaker 1: then I'm like, you know what, So I had to
Speaker 1: even force myself to watch it. It was just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's like why did I pick this? I was like,
Speaker 1: this is why I haven't seen it since it came out.
Speaker 1: You know, Punky Johnson, who do you think should play
Speaker 1: you in the film of your life? That was very interesting.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm like I was thinking and thinking
Speaker 1: and thinking and then I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: just give the narcissistic answer me. Okay, so you're playing yourself,
Speaker 1: but what if someone else is written it and they've
Speaker 1: changed stuff. You're like, hey, this isn't how it happened,
Speaker 1: but you have to play it like you signed on.
Speaker 1: You you have no creative control in this film. It's
Speaker 1: the Punky Johnson film. You have no creative control in it.
Speaker 1: But you are playing Punky Johnson. You know. I think
Speaker 1: I do a good job. And I know this might
Speaker 1: sound really really crazy because she's older. She's like maybe
Speaker 1: about fifteen years older than me. Freaking Taraji p Henson
Speaker 1: could probably jumping man, Taraji. Cant you teutorizeing what you want?
Speaker 1: She gonna give it to you. Stat Yeah, I actually
Speaker 1: think that's a really really good choice. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: put some dry lights in her head and let her
Speaker 1: and give her the script. Just let her go. You
Speaker 1: just let her do whatever she do. Should we make
Speaker 1: this film? I think that's a that's a fucking film.
Speaker 1: I would watch the Punky Johnson starting. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: could play it a little. She could play the older me.
Speaker 1: I really like that, really good answer. What Punky Johnson
Speaker 1: is the most romantic film you've ever seen. Now, we
Speaker 1: know your idea of romance is being shattered at in
Speaker 1: the club by someone reminds you of your mom, So
Speaker 1: what is the most So I mentioned this earlier, but
Speaker 1: I think it's Something's got to give, which I love
Speaker 1: it because it just comes full circle. And I think
Speaker 1: everybody can relate to that movie, whether you're young or
Speaker 1: whether you're old, and everyone understands, well, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say everyone. I can't see for everybody, but I would
Speaker 1: say for the most part, people understand what the breakup
Speaker 1: is and what it feels like to not know if
Speaker 1: you're gonna ever love again. And then on Jack Nicholson's side,
Speaker 1: is he never was in love with anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he was afraid, like you know, you can
Speaker 1: just tell that he was just afraid to love or
Speaker 1: be loved, like he was struggling with his own inner
Speaker 1: situation and what he was sixty three years old and
Speaker 1: he finally fell in love for the first time, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, immediately, at some part it was tragic,
Speaker 1: you know, because he couldn't be loved or allowed himself
Speaker 1: to be loved. But then what I loved about it was.
Speaker 1: They allowed him to He went through his past to
Speaker 1: understand why he was the way he was and why
Speaker 1: he act the way he did. And that's when he
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I can love so. I love the
Speaker 1: fact that they made him do his homework on himself
Speaker 1: to hold himself accountable for the person that he was,
Speaker 1: and he and I what I love love. He went
Speaker 1: got his bitch, He went to Paris. He said, always
Speaker 1: sharing Paris. Oh okay, all right, I'm gonna get him,
Speaker 1: that's right, and set at the dinner table with her name,
Speaker 1: giving her to Miyes the puppet dog eyes come. You know,
Speaker 1: that's balls right there, that's big paid for the meal.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, man, look it was. It was the
Speaker 1: most romantic, most funny gangster movie about love, but at
Speaker 1: the most part, for the most part, I mean, it
Speaker 1: just resonates with me because you can find love even
Speaker 1: after twenty years, because I was what my wife the
Speaker 1: twenty years. You can stick there. There is somebody out
Speaker 1: there if you just you know that they got somebody
Speaker 1: out there and we can all be loved. We can
Speaker 1: do it. Can I ask you a very personal question,
Speaker 1: if you if this is two personal whatever we can
Speaker 1: cut it. But breaking up with someone you've been for
Speaker 1: twenty years, like, was it must have been so? Like?
Speaker 1: Are there still so many aspects of your life that
Speaker 1: in twenty terms of friends, in terms of stuff like that,
Speaker 1: or is it the hardest thing, the hardest thing I
Speaker 1: ever had to do walking away from that situation, Understanding
Speaker 1: that you're in something that is not beneficial to your
Speaker 1: mental health, your well being or your spirit. Understanding that
Speaker 1: and come into the conclusion that it's not going to
Speaker 1: get better, that is also hard. But but literally walking
Speaker 1: out of the door, it's the hardest part. It's the
Speaker 1: hardest part. Oh my god. I cried and I cried,
Speaker 1: and I was just having a self pity party for
Speaker 1: such a long time. And but I can tell you
Speaker 1: want you out the dough? Yeah, you know. Then then
Speaker 1: you get to decide to start here. It's a choice
Speaker 1: to sit in and just and drown in this wave
Speaker 1: of defeat, or you can say, you know what, Nope,
Speaker 1: I'm about to start healing and I'm about to do
Speaker 1: the work. How long do you think the drowning pop
Speaker 1: I was? The crazy thing is I was drowning inside
Speaker 1: of my marriage, lying to people, making them think that
Speaker 1: it was okay lying to my parents because I didn't
Speaker 1: want them to worry about me. Just I was just
Speaker 1: a lying and I just I was just drowning and
Speaker 1: I felt hookey and ridiculous, and don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: I loved her, but we was just going through stuff
Speaker 1: that was way it was just past where we can
Speaker 1: could fix. And I was just like, no, I got
Speaker 1: too much to live for. I got too many things
Speaker 1: that I want to do, and if I stay here,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to do them. I'm very
Speaker 1: happy for you. Yeah, but the only thing I'm sad
Speaker 1: about is she had the dogs, and the dogs with
Speaker 1: my heart. Those were my kids, man, and and I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna see him again. But really, I get to
Speaker 1: start a new family. I get to get more dogs.
Speaker 1: And one thing about her, she was a she was
Speaker 1: she was I'm not gonna call her a shitty wife,
Speaker 1: but she was a shitty wife. But she was a
Speaker 1: great dog mom. So I'm and I'm at least at
Speaker 1: peace with that. Okay, Yeah, that's amazing. That's such a
Speaker 1: big deal. I mean amazing. Congratulations. Yeah, I'm so I
Speaker 1: am happy as he Yeah out, and I don't have
Speaker 1: no residual feelings. The baggage is going amazing, amazing, Punky Johnson,
Speaker 1: Funky Johnson. What is the best film you ever saw
Speaker 1: that you never want to see again? The wrong missy,
Speaker 1: Oh that's what David Spade. Yeah, yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious, but I don't need to see it again.
Speaker 1: That's really fair. This is the first covered the answer
Speaker 1: I've add to that question. I don't need to it
Speaker 1: no more. But it was, but it was hilarious, and
Speaker 1: I do recommend and seeing it at least exactly one time.
Speaker 1: What is the best action film you've ever seen? Do
Speaker 1: you like an action film? So, look, my favorite action
Speaker 1: is Kung Fu My look, I love hip Man. Ip
Speaker 1: Man is the shit. You get action and you get
Speaker 1: to be educated on Japanese and Chinese culture at the
Speaker 1: same time. Man, I think it's wing chung. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna box for another year. That'll be two years boxing,
Speaker 1: and then afterward I'm gonna incorporate wing chung. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do both of them. I've always wanted to learn
Speaker 1: wing Chung as soon as I saw ip Man, which
Speaker 1: was I don't know, maybe ten years ago. Maybe it
Speaker 1: could have been less. I don't know. But as soon
Speaker 1: as I saw that, I'm like, well, I'm gonna learn this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn it. And are you learning it? Are
Speaker 1: you actually gonna fight or you're just learning it? I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna I don't you know what. I can't call it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do want to fight in boxing.
Speaker 1: I do want to. I'm almost to the level of
Speaker 1: sparring right now. I think my trainer said, like, in
Speaker 1: the next month or two, I'll be able to start
Speaker 1: sparring with people. Wow. Yeah, I'm getting up there. I'm
Speaker 1: getting strong. Okay, you bloody be careful place. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm getting strong and it's good for my knees. You know,
Speaker 1: we getting old. We need to stay active. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got to look after that face. I'm not having that face.
Speaker 1: What all the films, of all the films if you
Speaker 1: had to, which film do you think you could have made?
Speaker 1: And why? Oh man, let me tell y'all. Oh you
Speaker 1: got it, set it off, Set it all. Jada Pink
Speaker 1: and Queen Latifa, Vivica Fox um um. I forgot the
Speaker 1: other one name and no disrespect, but I did forget
Speaker 1: the name. But man, what that's my type of move.
Speaker 1: Be right there, we're gonna we're gonna get together. We're
Speaker 1: gonna rob the bank because the government ain't shit. Y'all
Speaker 1: gonna kill my brother. Y'all gonna make me get fired
Speaker 1: from my job because I knew this man, I didn't
Speaker 1: help him brought this bank. Then you gonna kill my
Speaker 1: home girls little brother who had a scholarship even though
Speaker 1: his ass said he wasn't going to um going to
Speaker 1: college no more. After Jada Pinkin had done gave her
Speaker 1: body to that man for that money that can sell
Speaker 1: a dealership man, she took the hardest bath I ever
Speaker 1: saw on TV. She was really getting that man off
Speaker 1: of her. And y'all gonna do all of that and
Speaker 1: and and nobody's held accountable for that, really, or we're
Speaker 1: gonna show y'all. And then Black Underwood he come in,
Speaker 1: he getting his bank case and he don't even know
Speaker 1: it that that's gonna show you. They're gonna show you, Bob.
Speaker 1: When Chris Brown said these holds ain't laul, you know,
Speaker 1: he was talking about Jada Pinkin and what she did.
Speaker 1: The Black Underwood in that movie. Ain't gonna gonna rob
Speaker 1: that man Banks, y'all is your sort of this is
Speaker 1: how this is my this? Oh? Yeah yo? If they
Speaker 1: do a set it Off too, I hope they don't
Speaker 1: do a set of remake. You cannot remake that movie.
Speaker 1: It is a classic. Leave it alone. But if they
Speaker 1: try to do something like it, like I Set It
Speaker 1: Off Part two or something like that, if I'm not
Speaker 1: in it, I'm gonna like this world. Don't fight it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well maybe you can be. The reason you can't be
Speaker 1: in the Punky Johnson biopic is because you're doing to
Speaker 1: set it off too? Or would you do say it
Speaker 1: Off TV show? Yes? Ade Okay, it's good to know.
Speaker 1: I make a note. Yes, Adell. What film have you
Speaker 1: pretended to like to impress people? Man, look not I
Speaker 1: pretended to watch it. I didn't even watch it. She
Speaker 1: she liked this movie called The New York Minute. It's
Speaker 1: with I don't like movies like that. I'm just like
Speaker 1: they sold my girl by the way. She you know,
Speaker 1: like we are week, we come from the hood, so
Speaker 1: to like movies like these, it really I really be
Speaker 1: like we already like something's gotta give. But New York Minute,
Speaker 1: that's one step teeth I can see that Yall minute.
Speaker 1: Oh man, She's like, you watch it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: whole time, I was on my whole time, I was
Speaker 1: on my eyepad watching something else. Well even it's the
Speaker 1: premise of New York Minute that they're twins and they're
Speaker 1: busy or something. What's the but I didn't pay a
Speaker 1: tent look. You know how when the movie first thought
Speaker 1: on Netflix, they give you like a little um, like
Speaker 1: a little yeah, not even a trailer, the what you
Speaker 1: call I'm having a brain for They go, what synopsis
Speaker 1: or something? They give like this the through line. They
Speaker 1: give you the through line. I didn't even read it.
Speaker 1: I didn't even read the through line. I was like,
Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, I ain't watching this. I mean,
Speaker 1: eventually she's gonna say, because every month or every other month,
Speaker 1: she's like, tell me something you've never told me before,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, all those stupid relationship questions, and
Speaker 1: eventually she's gonna ask me something like that, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, I didn't watch that fucking movie. I still
Speaker 1: don't really know what a New York Minute is. What
Speaker 1: film have you never seen that you think it's mad?
Speaker 1: You've never seen it? Honestly, blow with Johnny Deal. That
Speaker 1: is mad. What's the film you love that you don't
Speaker 1: expect anyone else to like? Sometimes I'm even embarrassed to
Speaker 1: see this. I love love all media movies. Oh listen,
Speaker 1: Punky Johnson, that is such a good answer, and please
Speaker 1: elaborate on all your reasons and working out too. I don't,
Speaker 1: my dear, I don't know. It just be is they're
Speaker 1: just so trashy and funny and you can always predict
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen next, and I just think it's I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know. And then pairing that to the
Speaker 1: rumors that I hear about Tyler Perry, about how he
Speaker 1: just shoot scenes one time and then you go, he'd
Speaker 1: be like, I went out top of the ship booploop,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, And I'm just like and when you
Speaker 1: watch the movies, you can see he was like this
Speaker 1: man only had a New York minute to fill this.
Speaker 1: But they really forgive me. I haven't seen the media films,
Speaker 1: but I do know. The things I know about them
Speaker 1: is one everyone thinks they're rubbish, but two they're incredibly successful, right,
Speaker 1: They're massive, massively popular and successful. Even though everyone yes,
Speaker 1: of course your favorite I think it is. My favorite
Speaker 1: part is Medea. And I think just growing up in
Speaker 1: a black community, we always had a big mama and
Speaker 1: madea remind us all a big mama, our grandparents. They
Speaker 1: were very very blunt about things you're not about to
Speaker 1: be coming up and here crying saying all these things
Speaker 1: that we never understood, don't come up in him smeller
Speaker 1: like outside, got my house, smeller like outside, but being
Speaker 1: here before the street lights come on. They got some
Speaker 1: cold drinks in there, but they're hot like grandparents, big
Speaker 1: mama say some crazy shit. But the point is she
Speaker 1: always on point with what everything. She's sick, and I
Speaker 1: think it just reminded all of us. She just reminds
Speaker 1: me of the things that my grandmother would say, right yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's why I watch it. And violent, you know.
Speaker 1: I love when she's bringing the violence in. You know, Pete,
Speaker 1: you know, piece be still. I got my piece right here.
Speaker 1: You know. Do you have a favorite madea film franchise?
Speaker 1: I would think probably Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Speaker 1: was probably my favorite. Yeah. Yeah, Shamara Moore come up
Speaker 1: in there with that horrible bread and with I love
Speaker 1: Charles in the hot tub about to die. He just
Speaker 1: looking he looking like and you know, like, I'm a
Speaker 1: relationship person. So it was about getting out of It
Speaker 1: was about getting over a relationship. That woman was going
Speaker 1: through a divorce, so very painful divorce. She didn't understand
Speaker 1: why he husband didn't love her anymore. She did every
Speaker 1: single thing from that man. It was about her starting
Speaker 1: over from the bottom and learning how to be an
Speaker 1: adult all by herself again, be a woman all by
Speaker 1: herself again, taking that that baggage, taking that bitterness out
Speaker 1: of her mouth. She had to start from scratch, no money, like,
Speaker 1: she was humbled living in you know, going back to
Speaker 1: being poor like chet you a job like. She literally
Speaker 1: had to start from scratch, and in the end she
Speaker 1: became happy. And that's the thing. It's okay. We I
Speaker 1: am not afraid to start from scratch anymore, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But that's because I had to start
Speaker 1: from scratch. But before that, I was afraid to start
Speaker 1: from scratch. Yeah, I mean I understand you, I understand,
Speaker 1: and I think that happens a lot. It's everything is
Speaker 1: fear right. As soon as you actually experience the thing
Speaker 1: you're scared of, you it's always like, oh well, this
Speaker 1: is fine. Everything's fine. It's all fear, you know of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's all comfort too, you know, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't, you know. Once we get comfortable, things don't change.
Speaker 1: Things don't change till we get uncomfortable. Yeah. And that
Speaker 1: sucks for me because I am a lazy I am
Speaker 1: lazy and I am comfortable. I hate when I have
Speaker 1: to adjust. It makes me sick. But it's also it's
Speaker 1: helpful because it's growth, you know. So yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean you absolutely completely seldom a dear films. So well, Dad,
Speaker 1: when you say don't expect people's like them, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm being surprised they don't. It's so fucking brilliant. What
Speaker 1: what is the film? Now? Maybe you've even done this recently.
Speaker 1: What is the film you would show a lover as
Speaker 1: a test to see if you should be together. Is
Speaker 1: there any film that if your lady didn't like, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, fuck, you're out? Please tell me. The one
Speaker 1: that I chose was Fun with Dick and Jane, because
Speaker 1: if you're not about to sit through the mud with me,
Speaker 1: if we can't watch this movie and be like would
Speaker 1: you do that? No, we out because let's go. We
Speaker 1: we got to rob. We got if we got to
Speaker 1: rob people, we got to sell it. If I need
Speaker 1: to know you in it, and that is the film
Speaker 1: because they lost everything. Yes, you like a rubbery, a
Speaker 1: bank rubbery. If we gotta do it, we gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Let's go. It ain't my fault because I feel like this,
Speaker 1: like I feel like most of the for the most part,
Speaker 1: we're all good people. That's how I feel. That's how
Speaker 1: I choose to view the world. We all good people.
Speaker 1: So if we are here minding our business, doing our jobs,
Speaker 1: take care of our family, and the world just up
Speaker 1: and fucks you. That ain't fair, That's not fair. I'm
Speaker 1: in this world. I'm doing exactly what the government told
Speaker 1: me too. I'm not cheating, I'm not steal and I'm
Speaker 1: not doing nothing. And then you want to take everything
Speaker 1: from me and I did nothing wrong. Fuck that. We're
Speaker 1: robbing this bank. You're robbing this bank with me, bitch,
Speaker 1: you better say yeah, that's all this if we out
Speaker 1: What did she say, Oh she died, baby girls. Yes,
Speaker 1: she sounded like it. I'm really pleased to hear that.
Speaker 1: I can realize baby girl is down. What is the
Speaker 1: film that made you the most uncomfortable. So the way
Speaker 1: I can answer this question is, honestly, I don't really
Speaker 1: get too uncomfortable with things because I'm an artist and
Speaker 1: I have a really weird mind. So whatever happens, I'm like, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: this is art, right, right? Great. What makes me uncomfortable
Speaker 1: still to this day is watching movies that have sex
Speaker 1: scenes in them. If my parents are in there film,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my god, I cannot still me
Speaker 1: and my parents. I did not If I know they
Speaker 1: have sex in it, I'm not gonna watch it with them.
Speaker 1: But if I don't know, in a scene just happens,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh god, we watched that. What is
Speaker 1: that movie? They'd go on it. I'm catching another brain
Speaker 1: for We watched the movie with that old time singer.
Speaker 1: It's on Hulu, Billy Holliday. I think it is Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the People day or Day right. We watched that, Okay
Speaker 1: ball they had a sex scene. I was like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that wasn't bad. That wasn't bad. Then they had another one.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I didn't think they were gonna
Speaker 1: have this. Then they had another sex scene where it
Speaker 1: was very intimate because Billy was used to just have
Speaker 1: sleeping with men and that didn't care about her. And
Speaker 1: then this one man was just doing her and then
Speaker 1: he just he was like, I don't want to, you know, violently,
Speaker 1: do you anymore? I'm gonna make it up to you.
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh my god, I just I
Speaker 1: just fake sleep. I was just acting like I was sleeping.
Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't. I'm just it's like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm watching this. Parents, you will just starting
Speaker 1: to silence. I was shocked at all the sex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and it was like violent, you know,
Speaker 1: like one thing, one man like slapped and grabbed it
Speaker 1: was just running her in the wall. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. Meanwhile, if I watched that with my girlfriend,
Speaker 1: she's like, I want you to do that to me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh lord, oh please, my parents are right here.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. But that's what I can't do
Speaker 1: that anymore. That's a great answer, I mean, a terrible
Speaker 1: segue into the next question. Though. If you could show
Speaker 1: a child one film, what would it be Scarface? Let's
Speaker 1: go that's right, that's right. I want I think every
Speaker 1: child should see it. How old is the child zero
Speaker 1: to ten. I don't think zero to ten should be
Speaker 1: watching I don't think zero twelve should watch that movie.
Speaker 1: But if I had to pick a movie, it'll be
Speaker 1: that one because you believe it everything you need to know.
Speaker 1: It's a classic. Star Face is a classic. It will
Speaker 1: be my pleasure to show it to a kid with
Speaker 1: their with their parents' permission, of course, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you get to see the ride. But you know, look, overall, yes,
Speaker 1: it was about a lot of yayoe in that movie, okay,
Speaker 1: But overall it shows you how you could come from
Speaker 1: Columbia and be a king. It shows you how you
Speaker 1: can how the grind starts. And a lot of kids
Speaker 1: don't understand that ship. These days, a lot of kids
Speaker 1: just want to damn spoon in their mouth. They just
Speaker 1: want things given to them right now. And it's like, no, bitch,
Speaker 1: you got to go out there and work like the
Speaker 1: rest of us did earn it. So that movie, to
Speaker 1: me shows you how to earn it. Hustle, be a
Speaker 1: man of your word. This is how you get the money,
Speaker 1: This is how you get the power, This is how
Speaker 1: you get the bitches. But you can do that without
Speaker 1: selling drugs. But it also shows Ultimately, if you do
Speaker 1: sell drugs to get deep in this game, you're dead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you will eventually got to do. Yeah, but you will
Speaker 1: die in quite a sort of ethic, pretty cool way.
Speaker 1: There's also that it'll look at least it will look cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Funky John said, what a bloody hero you are. I
Speaker 1: really really like you a lot. Now you've been wonderful,
Speaker 1: as wonderful as you were when I killed you. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad that I brought you back to life. In fact,
Speaker 1: i'm so glad you've done so well. I'm going to
Speaker 1: let you live. Yeah. But having said that, that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean I won't kill you in the future. So what
Speaker 1: I need to know is there's a lawyer here and
Speaker 1: he wants to know what film will you be leaving
Speaker 1: in your will just in case you are killed by
Speaker 1: me in the future. All right. Number one off top
Speaker 1: Sister Act, because Sister Act is just what it is,
Speaker 1: point period. I should need no explanation on that. And
Speaker 1: number two, believe it or not, I love Sandra Bullock
Speaker 1: and I love The blind Side. I do not believe it.
Speaker 1: That is a real twist. The blind Side. I just
Speaker 1: think it's so many it's just I just love it
Speaker 1: because it's black and its white people. It's just so
Speaker 1: much racism going on in discrimination, and just it shows
Speaker 1: you that that's not happening everywhere. Not everybody like that.
Speaker 1: Black people could take in white people. White people could
Speaker 1: take in black people, and the same with Asians and
Speaker 1: Mexicans and Latinas and everybody else. We that It just
Speaker 1: shows me that we could be one. Damn it. They
Speaker 1: took in this big black man and gave them a home. Dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: get sent them to college. Man gave us through the future.

Speaker 1: even playing ball. I could see if he was playing
Speaker 1: ball already. Yeah. They you know, they spotted them out
Speaker 1: and took him and did it for that reason. They
Speaker 1: simply did it to care for another human being. The
Speaker 1: rest of it is the universe and guide repaying them
Speaker 1: for doing something great. So and I want to do
Speaker 1: that one day. You know, I was telling my girl,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, I want to save a kid. I
