You have to let me finish. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.320 It's just about the mother of your child or another one. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.720 It's about what I wanted to be about. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.040 Okay, okay, yes, let just ask all. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.040 Hairs together, guys. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.920 So I used to see, uh, the women I used 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.160 to date, her parents were still together. They would do Thanksgiving, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.200 they would do dinners and do all this type stuff. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.880 And I used to say, they must be smashing, no 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.079 way that they're that connected to each other. But as 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.800 I got older or I had this situation in my life, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.840 I was like, nah, they were just trying to give 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.720 or create the best family situation as a co parent 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.600 that could do.

We are raising a beautiful uh young man. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.440 And I mean this one thing I say about my 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.120 co parents situation. A lot of times when mom and 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.760 dad are not together like that, it's it's separate. It's 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.480 like my mother, my father, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.720 But my son, whenever he talks, he speaks to speaks 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.200 on us as a family, still live as parents. It's 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.000 not like I'm going to my mother house or my 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.720 father house.

But sometimes when people get in your head, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.280 you know what I'm saying, Like what she throw was 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.240 the funny jokes. One of her girls come, huh, I 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.080 don't believe he did that, and he gassedlight and all 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.600 that stuff. We had that situation. But you know, I mean, 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.000 you dated a comedian. That's what's gonna be. My life 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960 is gonna be on stage. But I'm always I never 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.520 would do or say anything to put her in a 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.040 bad light or anything, because at the end of the day, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.560 she gave me the biggest gift for my life. So 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.960 I'm forever grateful for that. And I even say, you know, 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.840 it's a certain it's a certain amount for someone to 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.560 have your kid, it's a certain amount of love. I 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.479 think you're gonna always have that. Does that mean getting 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.320 back together or rekilling anything? It doesn't, but it's a 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.320 certain amount of love and respect I always have. The 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.360 next question, did you. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.360 Ever ask, like how it affects herm when you go 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.440 on stage and talk about it, because that could bring trauma? 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.000 Did you ever like, I don't know, No, I don't, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.400 I don't. I can't. Man if I said you care, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.000 so if I care, but I don't care because. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:15.640 That didn't come out of therapy. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.760 That was that was disgusting. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:17.160 That was. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.520 Do you think they're calling yourself? 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.279 And my brother said the games don't really like you 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.960 the way you think they do. When you said that, 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.600 you know that's what he said. When you said, he 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:26.560 said get over yourself. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.840 When you said dating a narcissist, speaking of not being 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.000 able to get over yourself. When you talk about dating 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.360 a narciss do you think that's triggering for the mother 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:33.839 of your child. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.480 I didn't say that you don't know who the narcissist is. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.359 You clearly how you know that's. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.720 Mean because of what you just said, because she didn't 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:40.159 sign up for. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:40.640 That part of it. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.279 All right, what we're gonna do is we're gonna have 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.320 to slow down, all right, there's just too much going 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.360 on right now.

What's the lesson you want him to take? 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.399 Away that his dad tried everything to make uh, to 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.399 make people feel good about themselves. It's so funny because 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.080 my son he knows what I do. This is so interesting. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.440 One day, it was over the summer. We were talking 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.199 and I don't think he knows like some of the 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.000 things I did, movies and stuff like that. So I 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.480 was like, you know, I said, you know, daddy is 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.200 dadd is somewhat of accomplished act or whatever. He was 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.679 like yeah. So I just started showing him different things 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:55.280 that I've done. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:56.560 What's the first thing you should accomplished? 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.639 I showed her. I showed him a scene with me 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.760 on as the wire. It was a saying when my 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.320 character just got introduced. It was me in the back 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.800 room with Lieutenant Daniels and I'm in there talking trash 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.600 like yo, I would still this, I will still this, 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.760 And I said, my name is Damien Price, but I 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.640 mostly go by day day. And then on the other 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.000 end he says, my name is Daniels, I mostly go 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.560 by lieutenant. Right. So now I find out that it's 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.560 a copy there, right. So I asked my son, I said, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.800 what do you see in that scene? He said, I 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.240 see somebody that's about to get in trouble me, right, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.480 He said, Daddy, did you get arrested in that scene? 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.359 I said, yeah, So I'm just thinking as an actor. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.120 I said, I want to show him the other scene. 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.440 He said, I don't want to see that day. I said, 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:38.960 you know, I'm an actor. I said, it's not real, 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.240 it's make believe. He said, yeah, but I don't want 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:45.639 to see my father getting locked up. And I you know, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.200 I never thought that he's separated. He's like, he knows 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.720 I'm an actor whatever, but he's in no situation. He 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.040 wanted to see me get locked up. And it made 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.040 me think about my father, Like I used to actually 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.879 go visit my father, you know, and where was he 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:02.200 in Pete Louisbourge Louis in present? Yeah, and I remember, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.120 this is what you did to me. You see that. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:15.160 I'm traumatized. As soon as I say that, I remember, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.359 as soon as I said, this is what this nigga 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.680 did to me. As soon as I say I remember, 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.959 I felt something traumatized. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.480 Yeah, what you remember going to see your dad in jail? Yeah? 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.560 And I streak behind the glass and everything, and I 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.760 thought that was normal. And that's why I don't understand 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.239 how some guys put themself in a position where that 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:43.359 would be how you fucking not raise your kids or 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:44.280 be in that situation. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.359 That's why we gotta start shaming people that's in the street. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.280 I don't judge people for what they did during survival, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.800 but we do have to start climing people when they 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.119 doing street stuff that can take them away from their family. 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.480 My father was a perfect example that. My father was 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.720 a heroine Kingspinn in DC some years ago, right, and 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:06.360 he's been he was he passed away, sorry some time ago, right, 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.960 but but close to the end of his life. Come 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.919 to find out, he was still in the streets. He 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.000 was still selling drugs, and he was selling drugs like 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.679 he was in the seventies. The code words they was using, Yo, 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.600 I'm at the place, how many nuggets do you need? 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:27.240 Like thirty one hundred, I'm like, how the fund you 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.240 When he passed, my dad was seventy two. Yeah, but 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.960 he was Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But that's when 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.600 when somebody say somebody's a born hustler, it's like, what 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.840 would make you jeopardize your freedom? Relationship? Would you have 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.879 your kids? Some people just built for the streets, and 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.200 that was it was unfortunate. But I'm like, when do 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:46.639 you stop? 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.280 That relationship? Wasn't it wasn't a close relationship when. 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:50.960 He passed it was no, we was. We were as 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.760 close as you. I mean he most of my life. 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.080 He was in prison, you know what I'm saying. So 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.840 we didn't have I don't have anything bad to say 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.280 about it. We just didn't have that type connection. But 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.120 you know, I was a young boy growing up just 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.200 like one. A relationship with his father didn't exist. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.159 I had to get him out because you are accomplished, 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:08.800 you are doing well, to say, Dad, you ain't got 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.240 to do this no more. You can just raise stay 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.399 with me, raise your grandson. You stay with me, or 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.440 push him out the streets or you was just my. 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.760 Dad had too much pride to probably ask anybody for anything. 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:20.040 You know. 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:24.320 You know what's crazy. We see you want to go 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:24.879 down down now. 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.480 But have you unpacked any of this in therapy because 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:28.800 she's about to move on and not even care. 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:30.600 About any No, no, no, it's in relation to what 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:31.440 he's talking about his dad. 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:32.520 Have you unpacked any of them? No? 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.080 I mean I haven't unpacked it in therapy. I don't 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.360 know if I need therapy for that. I just look 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.919 at I look at my father, and I use that 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.360 as an example of what I don't want to do 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.600 with my son. That's why one of the things with 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.280 my son, I always like, make memories, make memories. So 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.680 I've instelled that in him, and then I just remember 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.199 when I do things with him, when I take my 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.080 son on the river, when I do trips and everything, 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.280 it just reminds me of things I didn't do with 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:58.680 my dad, and it makes me want to be more 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.119 aggressively in my my I was like, even though me 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.640 and Stephanie out together, like I'm like actively, like I'm 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:06.639 involved with my son life. Anybody to follow me? They 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:08.840 know that. Anybody know that know me? Know you want 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:10.440 to hug right now, I don't want to hug. 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.160 Did you let your son see your greatest role? Since 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:14.920 you are an accomplished actor, did you let him see 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:16.040 your greatest role ever? 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:17.840 What you considered to be my greatest role ever? 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.920 When you played uh, the Pizza Heights Guy Spider Man 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:23.000 Part two, The Pizza Heights. 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.919 That wasn't my greatest role, but it was for for 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:29.600 for a kid to be a part of that. 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:32.320 Probably see it. 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:44.480 So it's, ah, what's the Spider Man nigga name man? Yeah, Toby, 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.080 Like he's working for this piece of company, right, and 0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:49.800 every day he's delivering these pizzas. He's late. He's late, 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.639 and then they tell him, they said, yo, if you 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.320 if you, if you're late one more time, you're going 0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.320 to get fired for your job. So he's driving down 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.359 the street, you know what I mean, he looked at 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:00.560 the clock. He's gonna be late. So he gets off 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.399 the bike, he goes in the alley and then he 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.800 comes back as Spider Man with a pizza box and 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:16.399 he's like, whoa, he stole that guy's pizzad I've always 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.240 let me tell you, no, let me tell you something 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.199 interesting story about that. When I got that role for 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.320 a Spider Man, they do what you call audition, it's 0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:29.840 called reaction audition. Like they'll just give you a scenario. 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.560 They'll just be like this, you're in the elevator, Spider 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.399 Man comes in there. How are you gonna respond? You 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.119 walking down the street, how are you gonna respond? They 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.520 audition you and just see what your improv reaction is 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.880 going to be. So when I before I got that roll, 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.840 it was. That was some years ago. I was supposed 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:45.719 to do Man on the Street for BT Awards, right, 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.800 and at that time, from my generation of comments, it 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:50.560 wasn't a lot of opportunities, so being a part of 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.600 BT anything, it was a big deal. So I was 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.159 excited that I was going to be this Man on 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:58.200 the Street guy. The guy who was directing it, he 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.760 wanted me. But the producers were still got you about it. 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.719 So you know, we had talked, We had talked and 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:07.040 up until Friday. That Friday we did a wardrobe. I 0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:10.359 had got a wardrobe fitting and all that, and I 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.840 was supposed to go to work that Saturday morning for BT. 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.240 I get a call at night and they said the 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.040 producers wanted to go in a different direction. They was 0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.600 like the road that I thought I was gonna have 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:21.600 the Man on the Street it just disappeared. And this 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.560 was like not even I mean within twenty four hours. 0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.600 So I wasn't fucking with BT. I was like they'd 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.000 be on some bullshit. I was upset about that. Then 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.800 the next morning I get a call from my manager 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.040 and he said, we got a call from the Spider 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:38.080 Man team. They want you to come to work, right, 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.600 and that was so crazy. And the crazy thing about 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.600 it was where the location where I was supposed to 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:48.040 do the BT situation. It was literally right around the 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.639 corner from the Spider Man set. So I had to 0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:53.359 walk past the BT set and Niggas was looking at 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:54.639 me like, did anybody tell me? 0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:56.439 Like? 0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.760 I walked past, and Sam Rainy he came up to me. 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:03.679 He said, Downhill your you're my favorite actor in New York. Well, 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:05.440 you're the only actor I know in New York. And 0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:06.760 what they do is I didn't know what I was 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:08.920 going to do. He's got a stick right here with 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:11.280 an X on it, he said, he tells you the situation. 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:15.280 He said, So, Donille, this is this is uh Toby right. 0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:17.920 He goes through the alley that he does like this 0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.080 to see your eyeline, he said, and he comes out 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:22.640 as Spider Man. He said, what are you going to say? 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.800 And I just said, whoa, He's told God's Pizza And 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.600 that was then improval line and he kept and the 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:29.399 rest of the day that's all he kept saying for 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:30.639 the rest of that So it just worked. It was 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.639 It's funny how one situation got shut down and it 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.520 opened up because nobody would have remembered me doing a 0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:38.960 Man on the Street stuff for BT. But I go 0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:40.720 down to history being a part of that brand, and 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:42.119 I had one line, but it. 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:46.119 Was because of that one appearance in Spider Man two. 0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:50.320 I didn't get any cheeks from it, but I made 0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:55.399 my friend's kids very happy. Like one of my friends, 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.360 it was a funny because you know, dad's always gonna 0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.280 try to be proud. My friend, Brooklyn Mike right the time. 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:02.760 His daughter was young at the time, and he said, 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.240 you know, uh, my daughter said, can daddy, can you 0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.280 introduce me to Spider Man? Can Donnelle introduced me to 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:11.960 Spider Man? And of course he been a dad, he said, well, 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.560 you know, I know Spider Man too, and his daughter 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.000 looked at him and said, I know. But Donelle worked 0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.200 with Spider Man. So anytime I got to flex for 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:21.720 kids or whatever like that. But I never got no. 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:23.880 Absolutely any of these stories happen because there's one little 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:24.760 line of Spider Man too. 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:29.000 I believed adjacent you got. 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:34.680 Nega Spider Man that what you know over that was 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:37.960 I probably got about two three thousand dollars or even 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.600 with the royalties and a no. I mean it constantly comes. 0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.520 But after a while. You know, it's not like crazy amount, 0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:45.120 but you get paid a little. 0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:45.400 Say. 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:51.040 I'm just said, do you feel. 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.119 That the industry rewards the comedians who take risk or 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:53.960 the ones who play in safe. 0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.560 I don't think it's the industry that uh that that 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:05.919 is the connection. It's the audience, you know, it's the audience. 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:07.440 At the end of the day. All were trying to 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.480 do is build a fan. We could be in film 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:13.720 and TV all all we want, but real for real comedian. 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:15.680 That's a real comedian. At the end of the day. 0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:17.920 Your biggest concern Can I put my name on the 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:20.640 market and can people come and check me out telling jokes? 0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:22.919 So I don't get caught up in what the industry does. 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.000 I'm a part of the industry, but I make a 0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.360 living without it. If I don't ever get another film 0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:29.639 or TV gave for the rest of my life the 0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:31.320 fact that I can make money telling the jokes, it's 0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:31.600 a win. 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.920 So I look at like that you're telling jokes this weekend. 0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.280 Actually yeah at the stress factor. 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:44.480 Yes, speak speaking of stress factory. I don't trust your face. 0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.440 I'm just say, it's just like you holding back. It's 0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:52.000 like your face is holding back some type of negativity. 0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:54.840 And the funny thing about it is that let's get 0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.120 let's get to the real Let's get to the real deal. 0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:59.920 Let's get to the Let's get to the real deal. 0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.040 This is not how you talk to me. Off off. 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:06.320 You called me for advice? Do you not? Do you not? 0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.040 Do we have conversations? Do we have conversations? When you 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.000 told me, you said, Donnie, I want to invest with money, 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.400 you told me you you said you wanted to open 0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:17.440 up a gate club in South Coloinia. 0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:18.640 Comedy club. 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.320 You know, you said the gay comedy You said, because 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.600 the cocks.

Man. I'm 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:43.320 sick of you. Man, I'm really sick of you. 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:44.400 Would you like a biscuit? 0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:49.000 I don't want if what I'm telling you? 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:50.880 What? 0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:53.720 No, I'm good.

Nah, I'm good, 0:29:58.840 --> 0:29:59.440 I'm possible. 0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:01.400 Look, hey, sir, now you've been in the game for 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.840 a long time. What keeps you motivated to still hit 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.960 the stage? What motivates Donelle and what makes Donell laugh 0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:07.400 at this time? 0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:10.560 Bill's motivate me to go on stage? Yeah, but it 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.640 just I really, after thirty plus years, I still enjoy 0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:15.640 what I do. You know what I'm saying. You got 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:16.880 a couple of people to go to a show. It's 0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:18.520 speakle that need to laugh and the people that want 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:20.560 to laugh. When I do a show and people come 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.560 up to me and they're like, you know what, I 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:25.000 was having a bad day, I lost my honor or 0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.719 something I didn't expect to go out. Everybody said, come 0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.080 out and enjoy yourself. And when I talk to those 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:33.680 people and the like, you remove me from the things 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:36.000 that I was dealing with, you know, for at least 0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:38.280 forty five minutes. That's what kind of gives me motivated 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:40.880 to do it. And every year I try to evolve 0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:45.080 and get better. I really, really genuinely enjoy what I'm doing. 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:46.840 Are you chasing legacy or chasing checks? 0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:51.720 Don I'm not. I'm definitely always going to chase checks 0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.320 because that's what I do. But I don't know what 0:30:54.600 --> 0:31:00.200 my legacy will be. You never know you think people can, well, 0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.080 you don't never know people like this wheld we live 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:05.160 in now, People gonna talk shit about anything. As much 0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:07.040 as you try to do the right thing, it's always 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.320 going to be some negative energy. And as long as 0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.880 we try to not focus on that, we've. 0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.960 Been because you're quick to respond to negative energy, negative 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.000 things said to you, and it seems like you're the 0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:19.600 person that continues to do it, which keeps the motion continuing. 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.960 It's hard for me. It's the hardest thing. And it's 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.040 easy for you to say you just don't give a fuck. 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.920 It's hard not to give a fuck. So it really is. 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.320 And to certain I'm getting a little stronger with that. 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.040 But at some point you like, you comments, I shouldn't 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:36.360 be in the comments, but you've reading the comments and everything. 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:38.240 You're like, oh, this ship is popping, this feels good. 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:41.640 Feel And then it's that one person that could throw 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:44.480 you off, You know, one person you like, how don't 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:46.960 why don't you feel like everybody else feel? But I 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:51.000 realized social media is just a it's just a playground 0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:53.920 for people to be negative and nasty. You just realizing 0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:57.040 that today no, not today, no, not today. I'm just 0:31:57.200 --> 0:31:58.080 it's just it's a. 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:02.240 Constant thing your therapists about why these comments bother you? Like, 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.600 why everything gotta be about unpacking trigger triggering everything? 0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:08.520 I don't want to unpack. Why the fun is that? 0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:09.480 The new word? Is it? 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:12.280 Comedian people? 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:13.880 Do you get like when you do therapists? Do you 0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:15.720 get words of the day, like you have to use 0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:18.520 calm down? I'm not upset. 0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:22.880 Do you want to hold down? Yo? You do? 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:23.120 Do? 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.120 I don't want to? You do know that, you do 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:29.600 know what you're doing, right, you do know what you're doing. 0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:31.520 You're fucking breathe. 0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.280 Regular people that do this to you. Other comedians. 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.320 No, comedians don't fuck with me. No, don't. They don't. 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:41.360 They don't like him. 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.080 He means they don't like him. Commedians don't like him, 0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:43.920 He says, they won't. 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:48.000 Say it to me. Yes, well no, when tell me us? 0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.840 I don't want to bring up old I don't want 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:51.560 to rehashow. 0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:56.160 Yeah. But what I'm saying is anybody can be boisterous online, 0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.120 but like face to face, it's a whole different story. 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.959 And you get me an example of anybody that had 0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:03.880 an issue with me, had had brought it to my face. 0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:05.800 I don't want to do it. I don't want to. 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:07.800 I would love you don't want to. I don't want 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:09.360 to talk about it. No, this is a good time 0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:10.120 for you to unpack. 0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:17.120 No, I won't believe it will well? Well, hold, you 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:20.280 try to start some ship with nas J when you 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:22.360 called me, you try to make it seem like I 0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.520 called it something like that, and I got nothing but 0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:25.960 respect for you. 0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:28.440 Tried to you try to start, You start in beef? 0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:29.120 What comedians? 0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.760 Now, unpack it? 0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:33.320 That's not what happened. 0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:36.520 What is he talking about? You started something between him 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:37.200 and Jay? 0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:40.040 What's something? What's something you learned about yourself recently that 0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:40.560 surprised you? 0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:49.120 Nothing? I don't be learning it about myself. Nothing, that's 0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:49.600 the problem. 0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.760 But if you weren't a comedian, what would you be 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:53.360 doing right now? 0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.600 I will probably be I wanted to be a car first. 0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.720 I wanted to be an architect, but I wasn't that 0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:00.720 nice and math, so I'll like, that's not gonna be 0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:03.200 a good thing. Then I would have probably been a carpenter. 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:07.080 You'd be a chef. I yeah, I would have been. 0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:12.239 I would have been definitely something something blue collar, for sure. 0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.279 You don't think you've been a chef. I would have 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:17.000 been a chef. I wouldn't have been a Sioux chef. 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:19.480 Does somebody give carpenter Lauren? 0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.680 They just they got stories, They got a toolbox they 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:26.000 walk around with they they come in your house. 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:31.400 How blue collar get the most? You want to know 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:35.520 who fo daughters in the community. Uh, I'm gonna tell you. 0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:40.880 Football coaches and handyman handy man. I know, Uh, football 0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.799 coaches and handyman football coach, especially in the inner city 0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:49.320 because there's so many fatherless kids out there. Coach Johnson 0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.759 is fucking all of the mothers just because they spend 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:53.399 time to do kids. 0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:56.319 Coach that amazing. Yeah, I mean that's not a real name, 0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:01.280 but I just put it out there, Richard. What Johnson 0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:05.520 out there just fucking everyone? The others children? 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.719 When you look at the state of comedy today, right, 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.160 the climate of comedy, right, what pisses you off? 0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:12.200 And what makes you proud? 0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:12.759 Great question? 0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:19.120 Yes, nothing, nothing pisces me off. I used to not 0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.080 understand certain things, and I would just say that, for example, 0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.120 like I've been doing it for a very long time, 0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:29.279 people that haven't been doing as long as I have, 0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:32.120 like yourself, you came along, you had different tools to 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.080 advance yourself. You know, It's like a lot of the 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:37.759 older comments, well they're on social media whatever. But those 0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:42.200 are tools that exist, Those are tools that they they 0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:45.839 sharpen their toolbox to do that. But I do say 0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:49.680 with that, with all the success like some young comedies get, 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:54.239 like like in the moment, I would really appreciate if 0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:57.120 people took the art form of stand up to be 0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.600 good at it and that just like, Okay, I got 0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:01.600 this fire, is a fame, whatever, people come to see me, 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.520 but really give a fuck about being a dope stand up. 0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.600 Do you think social media comedians are watering down the 0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:07.040 art form. 0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:08.359 I don't think. 0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:08.759 I don't. 0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:14.040 I don't say watering down. It's comedy. It's evolving the definition. 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.400 I remember some years ago I was talking to this 0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:18.480 girl and she was like this, I'm a comedian. I said, 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:19.759 let me see some of the stuff. She said, I'm 0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.440 on YouTube, and she said if she started showing me 0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.399 some skills, I said, that's not a comedian. She said, yes, 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:27.280 it is. Because when I think of the idea of commedian, 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.480 I think of stand up and stand up. But if 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.640 you really look at the definition of comedian, it says 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:36.600 one who entertains an audience through humor. So what used 0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:39.560 to be the definition of a comedian, it has changed 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:40.440 and it's evolved. 0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:45.080 Wasn't a comedy? Why wasn't What wasn't a comedy? By 0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:46.600 your logic, that makes no sense. 0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:48.239 I don't understand what you're saying. 0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:50.040 And you said, she showed you sketches, and you said, 0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:52.040 this isn't comedy. No stand up? 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:56.000 No, no, no no, Because when she said comedian, I 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.399 was just thinking stand up comedian, you know what I'm saying, 0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.839 not thinking that just somebody making media. Yeah, it could 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.680 be a sketch comedian, but that's say that. 0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.520 She just said she was a comedian. In his mind 0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:06.160 automatically reverted. 0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:08.359 It went to like stand up, but she's a comedic actor. 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:09.520 Whatever you do. 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:11.920 Those comedians you talk about get their stripes, then, like, 0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:13.920 what is it that they do, because not everybody that 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:15.600 is online does stand up? 0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:18.240 Where do you get they stripe A lot of people. 0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.799 They first off, they want to know how they can 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:22.960 get some more money. You know what I'm saying, It's 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.040 like this, Okay, I got this fan base. You know 0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:27.160 what I'm saying. People follow me, they see me doing sketches, 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.000 but I want to turn that into something else. So 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:32.439 eventually it turns into you doing stand up because house 0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:34.160 if are you going to get the other check if 0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:37.520 you don't go go go perform? So it just it 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:45.080 just turns into that, I have my hand up. Can 0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.520 I ask a question? I don't know what it is, 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:49.560 but I just don't trust you, man, Just a question. 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.320 I'm having a real commisation trusted you. 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:53.520 You need to really impact that. 0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:54.360 I'm just asking. 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:55.879 In this little career that you had. 0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:58.359 You know, you've done stand up, you've done skits, you've 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.160 done comedy, you've done TV, you've done more than radio. 0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:03.759 Out of all the things that you did, what would 0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:06.080 you say is your biggest mistake that you've ever made 0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.759 that you think back and like that was wrong or 0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:09.560 I apologize. 0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:12.319 I'll tell you what my biggest mistake was the first 0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:13.439 time I ever came on this show. 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:15.120 Why do you feel that way? 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:17.880 Because look at what this created, It's created monster.

It was one 0:48:14.800 --> 0:48:17.279 of those sushi spots where it takes a year to 0:48:17.320 --> 0:48:19.719 get a reservation. They sit six or eight people.

It's a speakeasy joint. I wish I 0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:29.879 would feel bad that it's It's one of the best 0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:32.440 places in Austin, Texas. I had to go. And what 0:48:32.680 --> 0:48:36.080 happened was they did a video where they showed me 0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:39.960 having going at with this comic. If you look at 0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:43.080 the video, you'll see it's one shot one comedian, it's 0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:44.200 another shot.

Mark said you were hilarious, but Donnelle 0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:02.719 Rawlings is the worst guest I've ever seen. Stereotypes are 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:03.600 so real.

That's one of the biggest YouTube shows. Whatever 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.520 but the people that watch that, they just like they 0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:15.680 just they are a lot of them. I say seventy 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.000 five percent of people. They are trolls. They live for 0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:19.600 moments like that.

He's like one of the hardest, 0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:27.480 hardest working comedians I know. 0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:32.800 And said, he said, he said. 0:55:32.600 --> 0:55:33.920 He was what altruistic? 0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:36.759 That means showing a disinterest and selfless concern for the 0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:37.680 well being of others. 0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:42.840 No, no, no, no, no, no, he's selfish. 0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:44.839 I'm selfish. Okay. 0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:48.680 Ok he's giving like he'll give he selfless, he'll give 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:54.560 the last like the last thread of the last thing. Okay, 0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:56.440 So I was yeah, I was on a date, and 0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:59.319 the day got nervous because after he was heckling the day, 0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:02.360 I had mentioned that I wanted to do stand up 0:56:02.440 --> 0:56:04.000 to what do you say to the date? He was like, 0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:05.799 you know, how did you how did you get her? 0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:08.560 Like how did you end up with her? And he's like, oh, 0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:10.719 she wanted to stand up. So then Donald brought me 0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:12.560 on the stage, but he didn't remember that I'd already 0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:15.960 interviewed him. So cut to I got on a stage. 0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:20.600 I killed it, Remember I killed it? And then and 0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:22.800 then I would go I was about eighteen, and I 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:24.759 would go to Dona's house and I take notes and 0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:27.440 I was just like legitimately trying to be a stand up, 0:56:27.760 --> 0:56:30.000 but I was also dancing with missy Ella and Shakira 0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:33.200 and that was not very demanding. So I couldn't balance 0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:36.440 the stand up life and my career. 0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:37.920 As as a as a dancer. 0:56:38.960 --> 0:56:43.800 Here's stage on stage And then I did yeah, and 0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:44.560 he was actually there. 0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:46.160 I was dancing with the dream too, and he was 0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:46.759 the warm up. 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:49.239 She was stand up. She did this is she says, 0:56:49.920 --> 0:56:53.000 this is this is a story. She did stand up right, 0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:56.800 And I told her, I said, whatever you do don't 0:56:56.920 --> 0:57:00.520 go up there talk about being pretty beautiful or any 0:57:00.560 --> 0:57:03.000 of that. I said. The reason why, I said, you 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:05.640 look better at most of people that come to the show, 0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.360 and women are so fucked up they will hate you 0:57:08.560 --> 0:57:11.239 for cut to She did exactly what I told her 0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:11.759 not to do it. 0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:14.680 Oh God, let me tell you. 0:57:15.920 --> 0:57:19.400 She said something. I was like this, right, and then 0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:21.600 she came up to me at the end of the show. 0:57:22.000 --> 0:57:24.800 She was like this, she said. She said, this was 0:57:24.880 --> 0:57:27.160 only second time. I say. She said, what do you 0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:31.960 do when they're not lasting? I said, if you are 0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:35.640 going to cry about this situation, I advised you to 0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.880 quit stand up right now. And that was the last show. 0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.640 She okay, but that was great advice though. 0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.040 But I mean, I liked the fact that she was 0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:47.439 curious about it and she did it, and she tried. 0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:49.320 She had the little notepad and she was doing the thing. 0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:52.680 But you know, it's a certain like to for to 0:57:53.680 --> 0:57:56.200 have if you want to say some success and then 0:57:56.200 --> 0:57:58.400 all of a sudden it's different. Some people can't handle it, 0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:00.240 and that's when you get stronger when you go act 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:02.320 and you challenge yourself with this person. 0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:04.760 Stress factory this week. 0:58:04.920 --> 0:58:06.440 No, she she'll probably be hanging out. 0:58:06.840 --> 0:58:12.280 But now I'm on Beating Black on Netflix and then 0:58:13.240 --> 0:58:16.040 that's my show. I just booked a series regular, so 0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:16.600 that'll be coming. 0:58:20.520 --> 0:58:22.360 But I'm gonna tell you, like I've been knowing her 0:58:22.600 --> 0:58:24.440 for the longest time, one of my closest friend. I 0:58:24.480 --> 0:58:26.520 consider her to bring my daughter. 0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:31.960 Around. Yeah, anything, when did this happen? You look at it, 0:58:32.000 --> 0:58:32.200 if you. 0:58:32.200 --> 0:58:34.000 Look back at the history of my podcast whatever, she 0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:36.680 was one of my first cot we've had relationship with. 0:58:36.720 --> 0:58:39.920 The thing that I really appreciate about her and everybody 0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:42.080 has ups and downs in their career, right She's been 0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:43.840 through it. She has some highs and some lows. But 0:58:43.960 --> 0:58:46.720 the thing I respect the most she never she never stops, 0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:48.920 you know what I'm saying. Even when life is fucked up, 0:58:49.320 --> 0:58:51.600 and life can be fucked up, she never stopped. That's 0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:53.880 why I said.
