00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Could you tell us a little bit about five shows

00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: a day?

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: You know, that's my legacy is Venice Beach. I love

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: Venice Beach. Venice Beach defined me as a man and

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: as a human being because I spent nine years on

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: comedy that from eighty six to ninety five, I did

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: five one hour shows every Saturday and Sunday without fail.

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: No matter what time of year it was, and people

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 4: showed up sometime they didn't, but we did them shows.

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: And I did like six figures a year for nine

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 4: years weekends only telling jokes. And everything else came from

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: it as well. But you know, it all started for

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: me in Chicago because I was a comedian in little

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: clubs and stuff, and my friends taught me to doing

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: street performance and I did it on State Street and

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: I made some really good money and I became for

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: I knew it, like the best street performer in eighty

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: five in Chicago, just telling jokes and stuff. But then

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: winter came, and wouldn't I trying to hit no damn

56
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: joke on State Street in December? So I packed up

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: everything that would fit my nineteen sixty seven Buikelet's saber.

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: I sold everything else and I drove out to California.

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: I didn't even know about Venice Beach, but I knew

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: California had a lot of beaches, and I thought that

61
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: it was hot here all year round. Not okay, it

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: was cold and shit. In fact, it was February and

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: I had gone up to San Francisco to do Fisherman's Wharf.

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: There were seals in the water, that's how cold it was, seals.

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: But I was out this street before me because that's

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: all I knew, and I saw all I had and

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: everything I owned was in the car. So I was

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: staying on that boardwalk and tell jokes. And about a

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: month in I passed out on the boardwalk and I

70
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: got up and drove himself to the hospital and they said,

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: you called stomach flew out there. Brother, you need to

72
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: go somewhere where it's warmer. And by then my wife

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: told me, you gotta come this place called Venice Beach,

74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: you know. And the rest is history. Man. I loved

75
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: Venice Beach. I still love it, and we're going back

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: out this summer and shooting one hour was special on

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: the spot where I started, so it's gonna be pretty amazing.

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 5: We were all just out there in that neck of

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: the woods and we were staying in what was the

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: Manhattan Beach, which I think Ben pointed out, feels a

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: little Stepford wives. It's a little He's got a little

82
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 5: bit of less of that kind of psychedelic, cool hippie

83
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 5: energy that Vennis Beach has, But there is something electric

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: about Vennis Beach where you have, like, you know, the

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 5: the dancers, kind of bee boys and stuff.

86
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: And that's now I can't imagine what it was like then.

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: What was it like then? Yes, well, you know I

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 4: call it DNN now the eternal Circus. I mean, it's

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: always something going on. When I was out there, there

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: was Robert Gruenberg. He's the chainsaw juggler. This guy would

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: throw a running chainsaw in the air and catch it

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: with an apple and with a raw egg and without

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: breaking it. And while he's throwing them in the air,

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: he's biting the apple and eating the apple. And he

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: was doing that on the beef, I mean. And he

96
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: made good money too. He had left and went and

97
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 4: got himself a dealershit, a used car dealership. But the

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: irs was watching him on Venice Beach and they guestimated

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: how much money he made and took him to court.

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: He had spend forty thousand dollars to keep from going

101
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: to jail, you know, because they were coming out looking

102
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 4: at your money and going one dollar, four dollars, seven dollars,

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: eight dollars. You know.

104
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Let's get into that. Let's get into it. So as

105
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: you know this stuff, they want you to know. Ass

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: we like to leave no question unasked. We applied critical

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: thinking to things that have sometimes dismissed this conspiracies. And

108
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: one thing people always talk about in the world of

109
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: conspiracies around this time of year, around April in the

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: US is Uncle Sam and the irs faster.

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Well he got me bent over a

112
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: barrel right now. I tell you, I just brought new

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: I just brought new money people on the team just

114
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: to get me out of some of my tax trouble

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: because I ain't trying to do the Wesley Snipes thing.

116
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: You know, I don't do well in jail jailing. I'm

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 4: too cute for jail, you know what I'm saying. I'm

118
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: not to do somebody's wife, right, Okay, So we might

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: take them a minute, but they're gonna catch up to you.

120
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: You know.

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: It's gonna be like a Wesley Snipe's case in point

122
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 4: or whatever. And especially if you're a high profile.

123
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: But we're talking about people that normally we'd consider as

124
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: being super under the radar, like street performers, and you're

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 5: talking about somebody planted in the crowd making notes about

126
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 5: income coming from street performance.

127
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: Is that a rumor, Michael, or was that true? Do

128
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: you think watching.

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: No, that's true. That's what they would do. They would

130
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 4: come out and they would have guys sit in the

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: audience like they just enjoying the show. But they sit

132
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: there and watch and see how many people throw money

133
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: in the hat, and they see if it's five of

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: teams whatever, and then they guessed the me how much

135
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: they think you got, and then they charge you based

136
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: on that. Of course, we ain't got no receipts. We

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: street performers. We got what they put in the bag,

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: you know, like Uncle Sam need a couple more dollars,

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 4: fuck out.

140
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: He That's the thing. No, this is great, this is

141
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: the thing. It's it's actually kind of rare for us

142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: to hear about a real conspiracy that's totally on familiar.

143
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know about the guys, but I had

144
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: never heard this one.

145
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: But it makes perfect sense. They do a lot of

146
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: volume in that.

147
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: I mean people they're just constant crowds and they have

148
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: a system and they're working it to get every dollar out.

149
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 5: It's a hustle and it's a thing to behold when

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 5: people are doing it right, you know what I mean.

151
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: I've got a sou I don't know if you heard

152
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: this one we were able to confirm this thought. This

153
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: was a rumor growing up. But the IRS apparently doesn't

154
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: care if you commit crimes. It's not their department if

155
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: you're out selling drugs. In theory, they just want to

156
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: know how much money you made and they want to

157
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: be cut.

158
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they want their part. I mean, it's the same

159
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: thing with now we have marijuana that you could purchase everywhere,

160
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: cause the government finally figured out how to tax it,

161
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: you know. So it's not about right or wrong, it's

162
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: like how much is in it for me with my part?

163
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: I under say, I want to win my part, you know,

164
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: and they owe me. But my mama said, you know,

165
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: a dollar nine a dollar when they catch you, you know,

166
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: So we do the bith we can.

167
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 5: And isn't that interesting with with what you're talking about

168
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: about marijuana prohibition, like the into what you said, Ben,

169
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 5: the IRS they're not there to p prosecute crimes and

170
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: they're technically kind of an apolitical organization in theory, But

171
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: whether or not they could tax marijuana was a political issue,

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: not one that they controlled necessarily, but it had to

173
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: be kind of legalized and regulated on a state by

174
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 5: state level, and that's not where the IRS comes in.

175
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: They come in to figure out how to collect the

176
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 5: money once they you know, once it's made legal. So

177
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: that's super interesting. And like for a time there were

178
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: places where, you know, in California, if you go to

179
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 5: a dispensary, they'd give you your change back in cash

180
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: because the banks wouldn't mess with them.

181
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: Yet. Oh, let me see that IRS will go in

182
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: and take your money too, you know. I mean, if

183
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: you leave your money in the bank, you you at risk.

184
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: You know. I had I had one check, I did

185
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: wages whatever. I did a movie with ice Cube called

186
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: The Long Shots with Kiki Palmer was in it as well.

187
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: She was fourteen years old and just absolutely brilliant. And

188
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: we did that and I had to check. I had

189
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: to check out things well before aready seven hundred dollars

190
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: and I wanted the offer to get the check. That

191
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: check was one dollar and fought and nand cent and

192
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: Uncle Sam had left me a note. I was like,

193
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: why can't be right?

194
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 5: They said, politely worded notes.

195
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: What it was just said that we are taking this

196
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: portion of your check because of bag taxes. And just

197
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: like that, a portion they left dollars all if they

198
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: left me enough to get a Snickers. Now that's the Snickers.

199
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 4: That's not the one that you have in the theater. No,

200
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: that's the the fun size it.

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: What do you call it fun size when there's less

202
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: of it? Whatever?

203
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: Problem? This is cute, it's cute.

204
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Fine, whatever do you mind if we stay on movies

205
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: for just one moment. There's so much to talk about

00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. That movie was a main

216
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: Let me tell you I bought my first home with that.

217
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: I did twenty six weeks shooting that film, and it

218
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: is one of the gifts of Venice Beach. I got

219
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: so much work from being on Venice Beach because Venice

220
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: Beach is the second largest attraction in California, second only

221
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: to Disneyland. So everybody comes to Venice, they take their

222
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: people down to Venice Beach. If somebody come in California,

223
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: we got to take you to Venice Beach. So I

224
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: got for talent though too. Internally, LA people, I'm sure

225
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: going there looking for the next big thing exactly. That's

226
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: shopping for talent out there. Look, I brought a girl

227
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: on my morning show. I have a morning show, guys

228
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: that I do five days a week. It's called the

229
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: Michael Caya Morning Show on YouTube. So I was out

230
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: there this past Sunday and this little white girl. I

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: didn't even see her. I just heard Fleetwood Mac the

232
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: album for Fleetwood Mac, and I was like, that is Soka?

233
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: Who's playing that? I turn it's this little white girl

234
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: and hold up. This little white girl was singing so

235
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: pure I brought and put on my morning show Monday.

236
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: She blew the roof off the sucker. I said, when

237
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: you singing these covers, do you have original? She said,

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: I'm about to drop my original album. She came back

239
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: on Wednesday blew the roof off the soucker with originals.

240
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: So she'll be on my show, well coming up, because

241
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm about to celebrate our six hundred show. She's gonna

242
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: be on that one too. Venice Beach is the eternal circus.

243
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: You got artists out there. It used to be a

244
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: time you can get a slice of pizza for a dollar,

245
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: probably cost two dollars. Now you know, you got girls

246
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: walking around and bikini's barely clad. It's all kinds of

247
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: objects and things. You come back. You go out there

248
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: with twenty dollars and have a good afternoon as long

249
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 4: as you don't have to pay for parking. It's amazing,

250
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: you know. And then after Drum Beach that stuff and

251
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: the Sundowners where a whole bunch of people stick around

252
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: from six thirty to about seven and watch the sun

253
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: literally go down and behind the ocean, you know. So

254
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: it's a lot of wonderful stuff going on. When I

255
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: get out there, they weren't making money, so I was

256
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: teaching a lot of them how to get their money.

257
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: Because they had the guy who would walk on glass.

258
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: Uber Uber. This guy would break fresh glass, a pile

259
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: of glass. He'd jump off a chair into the glass

260
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: with no shoes on it. Then he did he pooched

261
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 4: the glass back up, so it's a mountain of glass.

262
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: He laid on it with no shirt. A lady was

263
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: standing on his chest. A man was standless thighs and

264
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 4: he smoked a cigret. Then he get up, wouldn't have

265
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: a scratch on him. The boy was making like forty

266
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 4: dollars a day. I said, no, no, no, no no, they whoa,

267
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: you ain't doing this right. We're gonna have to work

268
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: on that part because you got to get your money. Plus,

269
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: one of his big things he was doing is he

270
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: wouldn't collect his money till after his last piece. You

271
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 4: can't do that. You can't do your last bit until

272
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: you get the money. Your last bid has to be

273
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: the hook. You know. You gotta tell them. I get

274
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 4: some who I'm about to kill y'all with this, but

275
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: I got to get my money first, okay, to play,

276
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: you know, and then you get your cash, then you

277
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: do the last bit. So I was showing them out

278
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: there how to get money. I have a money grabber.

279
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: I know we're not visual, but y'all can see this.

280
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 4: We can money grab I can take this grab and

281
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: reach out and get.

282
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 5: Your you know, at home picture like a he man

283
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: or like a like a transformers, these things.

284
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: The reach for stuff up on the cabinet and stuff

285
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: like that. I was grab yours is the one that

286
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 4: the kids used. That's not even like the real one,

287
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. That's the one that's that's amazing.

288
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: These also this is odd by the way, for anybody

289
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: who happens to be by the Venice boardwalk. You can

290
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: find Michael's shoe and handprints there as well as an

291
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: impression I believe of that money.

292
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: That money grab her. You had to commemorate what idea

293
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 4: when I was out there, because we made it. And

294
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: see here's what I was telling you earlier too. I

295
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: got a lot of work from there. I got hot

296
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: shots due from there. I got Martin. I became a

297
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: regular on Martin from there because everybody comes to Venice,

298
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: and then they were coming, I'd have the biggest crowd,

299
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: so they worked their way in. And then they say,

300
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: here's a guy with two to four hundred people standing

301
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: still in the sun for an hour and then happy

302
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: to pay. But are are people taking advantage of folks

303
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: like that? In Hollywood? You think of so much kind

304
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: of crooked.

305
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna make you a star, I'm gonna

306
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: pay you more than you're making on the boardwalk, but

307
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: probably underpaying the hell out of you, and also then

308
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: maybe signing you to an exclusive contract and like kind

309
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: of owning someone's life, you know, is that Did you

310
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 5: see any of that kind of stuff?

311
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, people doing that all the time. You know. Talent

312
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: is always in danger of the people who want to

313
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: exploit them, you know, so there's always folks out there like,

314
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: but you need to be on your game, you know

315
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I mean, a trick ain't a trick

316
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: if you know the trick. But if you don't know

317
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: the trick, then the trick's on you. You know. I

318
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: was at one network that ran me out of there,

319
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: and I couldn't figure out how I got out of there.

320
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: How I thought I was doing so good? And my

321
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: brother told me the story. He said, every evening, as

322
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: the sun went down, there was this little village and

323
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: a prince would come out to the edge of the

324
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: river and walk across the river, and all the people

325
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: would hide in the bushes and watch the prince walk

326
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: across this river. Every evening. No one had the courage

327
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: to approach him, and finally a little child. You know, children,

328
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: they always they don't care. They'll just say some shit.

329
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: A child just stepped out from behind the bush and says,

330
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: tell me, sir, please tell me what is the secret

331
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: of walking across the river? And he says, the secret,

332
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: my child, is you got to know what the rocks are.

333
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: Come on, I didn't know what were you know what

334
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: I'm saying. If you weren't being on top of it,

335
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: that's all. But yeah, people will exploit you. So you

336
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: have to watch for that. If you're an artist, you

337
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: have to watch for that. I've always done all my

338
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: own stuff. Now I'm building a but I usually book myself,

339
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: you know. I manage myself, you know. And when I

340
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: say God is my manager, that means I only got

341
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: to pay ten percent and he answers every call. You know.

342
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: So so sometimes doing it yourself is the way that works.

343
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: But the go to furthest in this industry, using these

344
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: people to help you, just in the higher eche lines.

345
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 4: Because about success. It's about access. That's what success about

346
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: in this time. It's access. Who you know? You know?

347
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: Everything's about communications and relationships. Who do you know and

348
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: how do you talk to the people you know? Will

349
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: determine your altitude, how high you rise? You know, so

350
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: you but the snakes are always in the grass. There's

351
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: always the people there with a card and a gimmick.

352
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: All over La. Everybody got a card and a gimmick,

353
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: you know.

354
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Oh. I can't remember the last time

355
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: I visited LA without someone trying to sell me a screenplay,

356
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: you know. And maybe maybe they're good, But I respect

357
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: the hustle because you're reminding me of that, oh, that

358
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: excellent quote. It's very, very old. It's like thousands years old.

359
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: If you want to travel fast, go alone. If you

360
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: want to travel far, go together, you know. So what

361
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: you're saying about having a team makes it makes a

362
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: lot of sense. And one thing we really wanted to

363
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: pick your brain about today is the inside, the inner workings,

364
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: getting under the hood of the world of entertainment, because

365
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: you have, in addition to acting and honing your skills

366
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: in this, in the world of entertainment at large, you

367
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: have been in the trenches. You've seen the stuff backstage

368
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: that the audience never sees or understands. So do you

369
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: have any I guess you would call them conspiracies or

370
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: theories in the world of entertainment and in the in

371
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: the backstage, because I know stuff probably gets wild, Like,

372
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: what is something more people need to know about stand

373
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: up comedy for instance?

374
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think if you want to talk

375
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 4: about what's going on in the back room, you know,

376
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: you just have to be careful because this so many

377
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: clicks seeing Hollywood, everything is clique. Everybody in they group.

378
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: You got to be in they group, or if you're

379
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: not in their circle. It's so funny, it's so funny.

380
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: I had a girlfriend and I want to introduce her

381
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: to a friend of man, and she said, well, you

382
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: can't just bring people in our circle. They got to

383
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 4: be invited. And I was thinking about the job that

384
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 4: she does for a living, and I was like, bitch,

385
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: you gotta circle. Ain't nobody trying to get your fucking girl.

386
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: Anybody trying to get in your circle. I was trying

387
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 4: to introduce you to my friend, you know what I'm saying. So,

388
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 4: but it's clique out here. It's like if you not

389
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: in their group, certain people only work with that certain

390
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: group of people. They ain't messing with nobody else. Now,

391
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 4: some of that is conventional wisdom. You know, if you're

392
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: really trying to get your act together. You really want

393
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: to circle yourself with four to five of your best

394
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 4: or closest friends and associates and keep everybody outside of that.

395
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: That way, there's no damage to the team or the

396
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: company because you know you could trust that handful of people.

397
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: The danger comes in when you start bringing in strangers,

398
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 4: the people you don't know who have different agendas and

399
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: different ideas and to throw things off. So there is

400
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 4: a sense of having a small group. But here in Hollywood,

401
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: there's the thing about you have to be in people's

402
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 4: per their their circle, their group. They have to give

403
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: you their benediction, so so you know if they say okay,

404
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 4: then then you could work. And I mean, I've mean,

405
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how many times people have blocked me.

406
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 4: I've been blocked tons of time from people who I

407
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 4: thought were my friends. Some of the people are people

408
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: that I brought up in this town and won't give

409
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: me the tame a day, but they'll respect me. The

410
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 4: same people that won't work with me. If I walk

411
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: in the room, they'll come across the room and shake

412
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 4: my hand. Hey brother, how you doing. But those same

413
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: people won't book me. Just think about this, how many

414
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: how many tours have you seen me on all you

415
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: stop black comics? And I can stand told to told

416
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: with any comic in America, white or black, and I

417
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 4: could do an hour faulty, shouty easy with continuous laugh

418
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 4: or not. I tell a joke that I walk around

419
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: talking shit for eight minutes. Then I tell a joke

420
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: I'm talking about bam bam bam our faulty easy without

421
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 4: even thinking about it. And you don't never see me

422
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: on these tools or all these top comments. You see

423
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: the same ones going out all the time, but you

424
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 4: don't see me. I've been doing this not thirty seven years.

425
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about sticking.

426
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 5: With that because you speak out of school? Is that

427
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: because people think that you're you know, I don't know.

428
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 5: There's what what is it about? I don't you either

429
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 5: rub them the wrong way. I don't have an idea.

430
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 4: And that's the worst part of it is their cowardice.

431
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 4: The people who don't work with you will never tell

432
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: you why. They don't say nothing to you about it.

433
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: Just all of a sudden, you know you ain't getting

434
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 4: that call. All of a sudden, you know you ain't

435
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: getting called in on that. Some people, some things people

436
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: call me in for and I don't even go because

437
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: I know which team that is, and they're not going

438
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 4: to hire me. If I come in, tell mclothes off,

439
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 4: set myself on fire, you know. So so so you

440
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 4: just you have to know who you're working with and

441
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: who's not. That's why I'm all down for self reliance.

442
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 4: Do your own thing. That's what street performance was. So

443
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: wasn't to me. I ain't gotta kiss nobody's ass to

444
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 4: walk on Venice Beach and tell a joke. You know.

445
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 4: I couldn't even get in the clubs until I did

446
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: Vennis Beach. I was when I first came here in

447
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 4: eighty six. Laugh Factory was the only one let me

448
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: come in. Laugh Factories about the size of my dining room.

449
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: In eighty six they didn't even own the upstairs yet,

450
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: they just had the main level. And in eighty six

451
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: I was there, they let me come in on a

452
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 4: Thursday and do five minutes for free. That was it.

453
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: Comedy store wouldn't let me in an improblem, none of them.

454
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 4: So I went to Venice Beach and I was holding

455
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: the biggest crowds of Venice Beach and one day Bud

456
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 4: Friedman who created the im Prov and owned all the

457
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: m problem and rest his heart rest is soul. We

458
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: only lost him about three months ago. I love, love, love,

459
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 4: love love that man. Bud Freeman and his wife Alex

460
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: saw me out there and they said, I'd like you

461
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: to become part of our family. I mean it just

462
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: then did just invite me to come and tell a Joe.

463
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: He made me part of the Improv family. So all

464
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 4: of a sudden, I was doing that show on A

465
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: and E called evenings at the Improv. I did like

466
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 4: eleven of those. I was all the Improv clubs because

467
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 4: someone saw me who had a way to give me access,

468
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: and they allowed me to have that.

469
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 5: You know, all right, hold up a second, let's take

470
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: a quick break and here a work from our sponsor,

471
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 5: and then'll be back with more from Michael.

472
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: We're back.

473
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: Let's get into it.

474
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 5: It's interesting with podcasting and YouTube, which is obviously a

475
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 5: place you found success in now too. That's kind of

476
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 5: like the street performing of the Internet in some ways.

477
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 5: It's sort of democratized by people that kind of form

478
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 5: around you, and it's unconnected to any clicks. Obviously, there

479
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 5: are podcast networks and YouTube networks and all that, but

480
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, the impetus is on

481
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 5: you to do your thing and then see what happens.

482
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: And I'm interested if you see that parallel and how

483
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 5: that's worked out for you.

484
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: To see that parallel. And people have been telling me

485
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 4: for years, Michael, you'd be so good on podcasts, You'll

486
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 4: be on pot and I never knew how to do it.

487
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 4: And now I'm able to do it, and I'm having

488
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: the time in my life doing it. I'm having great

489
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: conversations with people. But once again, was also about to access.

490
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: It was because i Heeart believed in me and gave

491
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: me this opportunity. Then I'm able to do this podcast.

492
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: I would never on my own just said Okay, I'm

493
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 4: just gonna set this up in my house, do a podcast,

494
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 4: put it where if I want to know, I wanted

495
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: to be with some of the top folks that I'm

496
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 4: going to podcasts. I mean, all I want to do

497
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 4: is beat Bill Burr. If I could just, you know,

498
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: just like Remelion, I would love to have him on

499
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: my show. But and he knows me. He knows me

500
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 4: too because I called him. Some other people that had

501
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 4: me come in for a podcast for their company. I

502
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: came in to meet them and they weren't interested, and

503
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, fane, but at least I got

504
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: a chance to come say hello to them. But when

505
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 4: I went in, I called Joe Rogan. I said, Joe,

506
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: what I do when I go in this interview? He said, Man,

507
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: just go in and be you. And at the end

508
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 4: of the day, he said, you don't need nobody else anyway.

509
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: You could do it on your own. And I thought,

510
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: that's cool, and that's a great idea. Boy, I'm a

511
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 4: lazy at Lamma Bean and I wasn't about to do

512
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: it on my own. And plus I'm one seven projects already,

513
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 4: So I'm like, how do I figure out how the podcast?

514
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: How do I do it right? How do I compete?

515
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: All those thoughts? But I have like like two of

516
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: the greatest attorneys in the world, and Ricky Anderson is

517
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: the one who put the deal together for me, and

518
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: he has several clients as well, and he was shopping

519
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: for me. Man, you know, the other people came to me.

520
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: Who's got a somebody's got a free radio, some radio.

521
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: But they had offered me to come over there, but

522
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 4: they don't offer no money. Well, shit. If I ain't

523
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 4: gonna make no money. I could make no money at

524
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: my damn house. Why I gotta com to not make money,

525
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 4: you know? And So the thing is, I think being

526
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: self sufficient is important and entertainment you should do stuff

527
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: that you could pay yourself. See, I'm on stage every

528
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: night saying can you tell that I love what I do? Now,

529
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: keep in mind, I'm an addict. Okay, I'm a crackhead.

530
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 4: So I did crack for twenty three years, and as

531
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: of this March first, I have twelve years of pure sobriety.

532
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 4: So I've been here doing comedy, film and everything fucked up.

533
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: You hear me. I was rimped, but nobody knew it.

534
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 4: I never went to work, no shit like that. I

535
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: never did that. But during that rain of being high,

536
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: I did so many shows and so many films and

537
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: nobody even knew it. But my system knew it. The

538
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 4: universe knew it. So I wasn't able to travel at

539
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 4: the speed of light like I could of if I

540
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 4: stayed clear eyed and focused and stayed on my work.

541
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: I started with the Steve Harveys of them, I started

542
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: with Cedric Entertainer DL Hughley. Them cats used to look

543
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: up to me. All them guys are rich enough to

544
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: pee cream and me. I'm still a day player. But

545
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 4: that's okay. I'm happy with it because I own myself.

546
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I own Michael mother bunkaya.

547
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: All this is, man, I don't owe nobody nothing. I

548
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: don't do no harm to nobody on purpose. All I

549
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 4: do is perform. But I'm performing everywhere. I'm killing the game,

550
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 4: you know, and the thing she is I ain't beholding

551
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: to nobody. I don't have to go to none of

552
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: those cats and say, man, I made it because of you. Yeah,

553
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: because y'all ain't brought me. I brought me and keep

554
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 4: on bringing me, you know. And that's why I want

555
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: to send that message to other people, because there's a

556
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 4: lot of people who turn around and walk away. They

557
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: don't get enough assistance. You know, if somebody don't help them,

558
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: you know, you don't need Look, everything you need to do,

559
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: whatever you want to do on this planet is encoded

560
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 4: within you. You already have all the answers. It's just

561
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 4: a matter of you having the courage to go inside

562
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 4: to find that thing and then work towards it a

563
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: little bit every day. Always talk about a system called

564
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: a fifteen minute of a day system. If you're willing

565
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: to spend fifteen minutes a day on something you really

566
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: want and within three to six months you'll have it

567
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes a day. And I'm just talking about Monday

568
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: and Friday. Monday to Friday, you could take Saturday and Sunday, oh,

569
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: twenty four hours in a day if you spend fifteen.

570
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 4: If you weigh nine hundred pounds and you want to

571
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 4: be a ballerina, do fifteen minutes a day, fifteen minutes

572
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: a day and that on that topic, you may be

573
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 4: spent fifteen minutes looking at plus size women dance. You

574
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 4: may spend fifteen minutes at a bar and your a

575
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: house trying to do a dance bar. You may be

576
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 4: doing the five steps, practicing them and talking about it

577
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: and talking about it. Because see, the universe wants to

578
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: know you commit to anything. It opens doors that you

579
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 4: didn't even were there. So what happens not everybody you

580
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: talk to you tell them I'm gonna be a ballerino.

581
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be a ballerina. Fifteen minutes a day you

582
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 4: working on it. You might spend fifteen minutes a day

583
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: just watching other ballerinas. But I guarantee you, by that

584
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 4: third month you would have done so many things towards

585
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: it and generated so much energy. Your phone gonna ring,

586
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 4: You're gonna pick the phone up. Hey, hey, Charlotte, we're

587
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 4: putting together a concert with plus sized women and we

588
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 4: heard did you are trying to get in the game.

589
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: You'll be like, holy shit, how did that happen to me?

590
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: It happened to you because it happened for you, and

591
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: it happened for you because you worked towards it fifteen

592
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: minutes towards it every day. I swear you're coming through you. Yeah, yeah,

593
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 4: you're conduit for it.

594
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 5: We've all seen seen elements of that. I just wanted

595
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 5: to asked really quickly about the addiction side of things.

596
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 5: I mean, was that something that you felt like, I mean,

597
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 5: I know that may have happened before. It seems maybe

598
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 5: that was all kind of coinciding. But was that something

599
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 5: that you used to be able to just be on

600
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 5: all ways, go go go or were they separate? And

601
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 5: then how are you able to get rid of that?

602
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: How are you able to like, you know, replace that

603
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 5: energy that you were spending on that which you know,

604
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 5: it makes you feel like you have energy, but it's

605
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: actually sapping you have energy. So how did you kind of,

606
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 5: you know, reconcile that that was kind of.

607
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: The start of all of it when you said it's

608
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 4: actually sapping energy. You actually think you're getting something, you

609
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 4: think you're going somewhere, and it's really draining you. You know.

610
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: I'm doing a one man play in one hundred Cities

611
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 4: called Michael Cawley's Mama. If you like your Mama, you're

612
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 4: gonna love his play. And the play is an hour

613
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: and a half place and I play seventeen characters. So

614
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 4: I played my mother, and my father, and my four

615
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: big brothers and me at four ages. The alcohol is

616
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: crack heads and church ladies did run my community. And

617
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: I get to tell that story about the addiction. But

618
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: I get into addiction. I got into drugs called it

619
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: was just fun. But I've always been responsible when it

620
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: comes to work. So I never went to work high.

621
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 4: I never would never go on the stage high. I

622
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: wouldn't do nothing. I respect what it is I do,

623
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: but like to say about to say earlier, I tell

624
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: people on stage, if our job, our job is to

625
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: train the universe to pay us to do what we

626
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: love to do. See, because if you're just doing what

627
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: you love to do, I swear the Bible says that

628
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 4: your gift will make a way for you. So if

629
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: you just doing what you love to do with all

630
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: your heart and all your passion, all the elements you

631
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: need for to succeed will come to your door. It

632
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: will walk up to you. You won't even have to

633
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: go look for it. So in doing this play I

634
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: talk about all of it. The addiction for me is

635
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 4: I was just party man. I used to do freebase

636
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: before they even knew of a thing called crack. I

637
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 4: used to sell freebase in Chicago. Did that made me

638
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: want to taste cocaine? I liked it. I liked it

639
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: a lot. But then I wasn't really messing with it

640
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: till I got to the Venice. Now I get to

641
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: Venice and all so many people on Venice were getting high.

642
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: I started trying to get high, and I enjoyed it.

643
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: You know, I had a lot of money and I

644
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: didn't owe nobody nothing. It was Robin Williams who said,

645
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 4: cocaine it's God's way of saying, you making too much

646
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: goddamn money. You know, and so I have all this money.

647
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: I leave in the beach with a sack of money.

648
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: I ain't owe nobody nothing. And one day I said,

649
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: I wonder if I take this rock and I drop

650
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: it on this hot piece of glass. What happened? Okay?

651
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: And then twenty three years later, my AS's trying to

652
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 4: dig my way out the whole. Now parts of me

653
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: say that maybe that's why I'm penalized. Maybe some of

654
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: the people who don't work with me have having in

655
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 4: the back of their man well he's crackhead, or he

656
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: was a crackhead, or maybe during my crackhead days, people

657
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: may have found me arrogant. I probably said things that

658
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have said the way I said them, or whatever.

659
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. I know one thing in my life.

660
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 4: I've never never deliberately gone out of my way to

661
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: hurt anybody, to step on nobody. I won't step on

662
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: you to get the job. I don't want the job

663
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: so bad that I'm to fuck you over so I

664
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: can get an extra five dollars. I'm just not going

665
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: to do that. I've just been living my life the

666
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: way I want to live it, unfolding unto my greater self,

667
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 4: and I don't always get it right. She is. Sometime

668
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 4: I fuck it.

669
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: Up, but I would love I want to talk about

670
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: one of those. I want to talk about one of

671
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: those times. I saw it. Not long ago, I don't know,

672
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: it was years. I think at this point, you were

673
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, you were in a park, a public.

674
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: You go.

675
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: First of all, let me say the name Cigar Williams.

676
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: Matter fact, let me say that Cigar Williams can can

677
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 4: kiss my ass. Let me just say that he's my

678
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 4: great friend in Philadelphia. His name is Cigar Williams. He

679
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 4: takes me to buy me a cigar of smoke, and

680
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: she knew some shit was up because he didn't get

681
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: one for him. And we take the cigar. We like

682
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: the ciga. We go back into the park U Writtenhouse

683
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 4: Square in Philadelphia, which is the rich park. All the

684
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: rich white people leave it, you know, black people even

685
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: in that park. He might see one every nine and then,

686
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 4: but it's always six or eight police patrolling a damn park, okay,

687
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: because they got money like that. So I'm sending this

688
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: smoking a cigar with my partner, and we see a

689
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: cop harassing this young brother who has uh he's autistic,

690

691
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,000

00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: saw us laughing at him and made a bee line

697
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: over to me. He said, you can't smoke in his park,

698
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: and I said, cool, I can put it out or

699
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: I could walk it out the park. He said, you

700
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: put it out and give me your ID. So he

701
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: takes my ID. Right, So while he's got my ID,

702
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: he's taking twenty minutes to run my ID. You know,

703
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: doesn't take no damn twenty minutes run ID. That means

704
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,280

Speaker 4: I got warrants in some way he can do more

706
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: to me. Not backup. Then showed up another double meat

00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: thing on FaceTime live, and I dogged him. I talked

00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: The thing that made people love it is I showed

00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 4: him how to deal with the police when they came

720
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: to a black man wrong, but how to do it

721
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: in a way that's respectful enough that he don't have

722
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: to beat you up and shoot you an ass and

723
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: taste you. You know. But some of us forget when

724
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: the police show up that they're in charge. We forget

725
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 4: that shit. Fuck you pull me over for naw. Okay,

726
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,880

727
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: you can't do that. What you need to do is

728
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: calm the fuck now when the police come, as long

729
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 4: as I'm talking calmly, I'm not going off. I'm not

730
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 4: reaching for sudden suddenly. They can't do shit to me,

731
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: but talk to me, and I talked about him. I

732
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: talked about his ass so bad. Oh lord. Now, once

733
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: I got through and he gave me my ticket. Wait,

734
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 4: and while I'm talking to him and he's writing his ticket,

735
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: a white guy walks through, brazenly smoking a cigarette. By now,

736
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: it's thirty people standing around watching this. So I pointed

737
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: at him when I say, officer, look at the white

738
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 4: guy smoking. He said, I'm too busy to look up,

739
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 4: and he just kept writing. Right. So, because I left,

740
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: and I didn't do what a lot of a lot

741
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: of black people do a lot of black people. We

Speaker 4: A little white lady, she the fuck happened. She's calling

Speaker 4: everybody in the community. She's gonna talk to the alderman,

750
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 4: the mayor, the chief police. That's what I did. I

751
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 4: went directly to the police station. I went right to

752
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 4: the police station. I filed to report against that cops.

753
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 4: I called the chief of police. We said, let us,

754
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: the chief police, iad eternal affairs. We wrote everybody, and

755
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 4: on top of one point seven million people, being on

756
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 4: top wrote me a ticket for one hundred dollars. You

757
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 4: can't even see the sign in the park. We pointed out,

758
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: you got to go fan the sand that says no smoking.

759
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: One hundred dollars. They threw that ticket away and apology

760
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 4: as brother. That's what happened. And that's the power of entertainment.

761
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 4: I know, I ain't afraid when I talk to you.

762
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: It's just another presentation. You know what I'm saying. But

763
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 4: that's why I keep saying that if you're out here

764
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: as an artist, try to be self sufficient because you

765
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 4: don't want to be a slave to nobody. You don't

766
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 4: want to be a slave to a record label, to

767
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 4: a producer, to anybody you want to be. You want

768
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 4: to own yourself, you know. And that's what I do.

769
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 4: Is so when you ask the question, why is there

770
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 4: so many folks to how many all those top guys

771
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 4: I haven't worked with, Well, I say, once again, everybody

772
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: work with everybody. They all know each other, they drink together,

773
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: they hang out together. So if one of them won't

774
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: work with me, the other one won't. And I'm not

775
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 4: saying that I'm on a black list, but I think

776
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 4: it's a black black list out there that my name

777
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 4: is pretty high on. You know what I'm saying, because

778
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: it's all kind of folks of my hue who are

779
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 4: doing all kinds of things and won't even ain't never

780
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 4: brought me in. I can't audition for it or nothing.

781
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 4: But look, be clear, I'm mentioning this because we're discussing it.

782
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 4: I ain't complained about it because I don't give a damn.

783
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 4: I tell you right now, but fuck you ain't got

784
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 4: the higher my ass because God gave me Venice Beach.

785
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 4: I know I can always go to the beach and

786
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: makes some motherfucking month. I ain't gotta kiss nobody's ass

787
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: to ever get I'm not just anyway. I can tell

788
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: Joe anyway, you know.

789
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there, Yeah, there's so many things that

790
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: I think we can unpack here. And I know that Noel,

791
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Matt and I or we've got I think we all

792
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: have a bunch of questions directions we're going to go

793
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: down here. So let me just give like a laundry

794
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: list one of the one of the things we're gonna

795
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: have to get back to is the war on drugs

796
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: just in the micro and a macrocosmic scale before we

797
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: do that, Just as an opening to that door, Michael,

798
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: I got to ask this, some of our audience always

799
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: wants to hear whenever we have a guest of your

800
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: caliber on the show. Are there any quote unquote conspiracy

801
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: theories that you believe? And if so, which ones talking?

802
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 4: Like JFK I Love Snowfall. That's a series that John

803
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: Singleton created FX Television, and it tells the story about

804
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 4: Ricky Ross. Now you know there's a rappers, but there

805
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 4: was a real named Freeway and he's going to do

806
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 4: my podcast Freeway Ricky Ross. Yes, and he's already said

807
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 4: he's doing the podcast. So he ran crack cocaine syndicate

808
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: all up and down the one ten Freeway in Los Angeles.

809
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: Why that's why they called him Freeway Ricky Ross. And

810
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 4: it's really his story, and it was who's that food? God?

811
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of his name doing Nixon era

812
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 4: had a ball head. It wasn't j Lord and Giddy.

813
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't it wasn't Lyddy, it wasn't Jay Gordon Lyddy.

814
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 4: It was somebody like him. He was c i A

815
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 4: and they ran operations to fight the contrast. So what

816
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 4: they did is cracked cocaine into our community, gave it

817
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 4: to Ricky Ross in exchange for money so that they

818
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: can go back and buy guns to fight the contras.

819
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: And he ends up going to prison for it for

820
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: the rest of his life. Ricky Ross and the guy

821
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 4: who set it up never did a day, not a

822
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 4: day in jail, and that's how they finally turned it

823
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 4: around and he got back out, and he tells this

824
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: story everywhere, and Snowfall is based on that, and I

825
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 4: absolutely know that that is the truth. You want to

826
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: talk about a conspiracy, you may think of it as

827
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 4: they as a theory, but it ain't no theory. The

828
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 4: government is the reason that black people all fucked up

829
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: with crack cocaine because we wasn't even know crack then

830
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 4: they just had blow. And he brought all that shit

831
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 4: and gave it to our community. Who would just give

832
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: it to the black people, let them just sell and

833
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 4: fuck themselves up, But you bring us back our portion

834
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 4: so we can get guns.

835
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, CIA Air America they called it. I think

836
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: for our freedom or or something like that. It's interesting

837
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned that we were doing a live show a

838
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: while a while back. I can't remember where our talk was,

839
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: and one of the things that we pointed out, we're

840
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: talking to people about the war on drugs, which are

841
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: pal Clayton English refers to as a war on people or.

842
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: War for control.

843
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: One thing that really stood out was, you know, look

844
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: around areas that have been absolutely devastated by a crack

845
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: cocaine and now by fintanahl and hillbilly heroin and stuff

846
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: like that. There is not a single coca field that

847
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: they have access to. They're not growing it, they're not

848
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: making ak's out there. There's not a single poppy field

849
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: out there, you know.

850
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: So we don't have wear planes, we don't have access

851
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 4: to planes to bring that shit in here, none of that.

852
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 4: But now if you bring it to us and sit

853
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 4: on our doorstep and we think we could chop it up,

854
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 4: cook it up and sell it, what respect we're gonna do,

855
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: you know, especially if you put us in a situation

856
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: where we're impoverished, where society has set us up, well,

857
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: we can't get the job. We we gotta fight for stuff.

858
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 4: And here's an opportunity to make money that you couldn't

859
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 4: even imagine. You gotta take a chance. Man, got to

860
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 4: roll the dice. In some cases, you got to roll

861
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: the dice. But I can't wait to talk to Rick

862
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 4: Ross my show about that in detail. But yeah, yeah,

863
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 4: I think the government had a conspiracy against our society,

864
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: the black portion of our society, and said, fuck it,

865
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: get him this dope, y'all bring us back this money

866
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: for the guns, you know, and that you could always

867
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: in everything you always foulow the money. I don't get

868
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: fuck what do you follow the money and you'll see

869
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: what's with Trump followed them my fucking money. Yeah, you

870
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 4: gonna see what's going down.

871
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: It's so weird with government money sometimes like that, the

872
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 3: things that they refer to as black budgets that are

873
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: never on books anywhere. Right, So you you know that

874
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 3: the government's asked for eight hundred and fifty billion dollars,

875
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: but there's fifty billion of that or one hundred and

876
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 3: fifty billion of that that nobody ever knows where it

877
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: went to, even the people who run the country. Right,

878
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: the people who are in Congress have no idea, which

879
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: is really just really creepy when.

880
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: Found this list where the government had paid like seventeen

881
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 4: thousand dollars for a fucking hammer. You know. It was like,

882
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: what kind of accounting are they doing? Boxer screws two

883
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 4: hundred and fourteen thousand, What we're in a rock?

884
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: Iraq? They lost, well, how many billions of dollars?

885
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 4: Man's a palette.

886
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: It was a palette of a billion in cash and

887
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: three cash.

888
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, we can't find it.

889
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 4: So.

890
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: Let's pause here for a word from our sponsor and

891
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: then we'll be back with more Michael Collier and we've returned.

892
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: So I was scrolling on Instagram the other day and

893
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: I saw this comedian. He had a younger comedian. He'd

894
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: pulled a little piece that he was doing on stage

895
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: and it was a whole It was a joke that

896
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 3: he set up pretty well on. The concept is blackface

897
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: and how's wrong. It's absolutely wrong, nobody can ever do that.

898
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: And then he talks about, well, what if you're in

899
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: Special Forces and you've got a white guy on your

900
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: team and you need to put a black face on him?

901
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: And I thought about hot shots part due there's a

902
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 3: visual joke in there that's.

903
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 4: Just if you're heard it. Yeah, that's such a funny part.

904
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: And we're all sitting there, everybody putting black face on

905
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: their makeup, put on black makeup so they can go

906
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 4: and fight in the water, putting on chemouflood. Then they

907
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 4: passed me the black and I just look at it.

908
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: It's giving a look, Matt.

909
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 5: That brings up a really good point. What do you

910
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 5: think things are off limits in comedy if you do

911
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: it right and it's funny.

912
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: I don't think it should be. I mean, I know

913
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: people are always worried about being canceled. I don't worry

914
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 4: about being canceled because I've never been on so uh

915
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 4: it was so so I don't worry about that. But

916
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 4: like people think, like people say stuff and stuff that's

917
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: like it's not they'll say they'll accuse you something this

918
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 4: like I've been accused of fat shaming for telling this joke, okay,

919
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's fat shaming okay, And it

920
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 4: was the actual happenings. Fat lady was on a bike.

921
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 4: She was a fat lady woman. Say is she a

922
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 4: fat ad? What you want to call a big bone bro?

923
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 4: I don't know. She was a fat woman. She was

924
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 4: on the bike, she was paddling her ass off, and

925
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 4: so I yelled out, cow right, She turned towards me,

926
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 4: gave me the finger, turned back around, and ran right

927
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 4: into the fucking cow.

928
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes people might project their own things, you know.

929
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: I think that's tell you guys very well, right, and

930
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: sometimes people project their own things. It's true. And I

931
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: really love to know your question about the idea of

932
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: boundaries or what can or cannot be addressed. We know

933
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: that comedy is a tremendously powerful social force. It enables

934
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: us to speak directly to things that you know might

935
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: get you, might get you in some deep water in

936
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: some other countries or another contexts. What's that old saying

937
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: only only the jester can talk shit.

938
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,959
Speaker 4: To the king. Uh.

939
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: This exploration takes us in a couple of other other directions.

940
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: The idea that now the CIA never officially admitted that

941
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: they created in large part, the epidemic of drug use

942
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: in the United States, And you point out that there

943
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: are people who have a lot of evidence against them

944
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: that have never gotten in trouble. Some of those people

945
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: very well are alive today. What would you say, What

946
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: observations do you have about you know, the idea that

947
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: there's a shadowy group at the top, right that there's

948
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: like an inner circle there. I say an illuminati. You

949
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: hear that all the time, right, like so and so

950
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: secretly runs the world. I don't think there's something.

951
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the Illuminati, but there's something.

952
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 4: You know. They're small kebles of people who have great,

953
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 4: great power that we don't even know exists. Even if

954
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: you just start with the with the dark Web, there's

955
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 4: so much stuff going on around our society that we

956
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 4: have no access to. And it's not just going around us.

957
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 4: It's going on and happening to us. And we don't

958
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 4: even see that kind of stuff because they're doing all

959
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 4: the stuff.

960
00:44:58,760 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: You know.

961
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 4: And if y'all think the government runs the government, y'all

962
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 4: crazy as fuck. You know, I tell you right now,

963
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 4: the pharma has more power over this world than anybody.

964
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 4: The pharmacies. Look, seventy two percent of all commercials is

965
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 4: about a medicine. It's about some pharmaceutical shit, some shit

966
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 4: you didn't even know you need it until they told you.

967
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 3: So.

968
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 4: First they tell you they gonna create the cure, then

969
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 4: they come tell you get it. Do you have ibs

970
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 4: irritable bowel syndrome. That's itchy booty syndrome. How come we

971
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 4: can't scratch our ass. We used to just scratch our

972
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 4: ass maybe take a quick wash, but now your ass

973
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 4: can't itch un less you take this pill because it's

974
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 4: been drummed into your head or you got ibs. You

975
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 4: don't want that, you know. I mean, I'm hearing shit

976
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 4: every day that could be going on with your body

977
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 4: I never even heard of before. I mean, they just

978
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 4: make the shit.

979
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: Up, Like halatosis was invented by by mouthwashed companies.

980
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just bad brand. Then they make the shit

981
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 4: up and I List three got sixteen billion dollars they

982
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 4: made this year. Do you talk about big pharma though?

983
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, let's let us talk about another

984
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 5: community that was impacted by a shadowy group that wasn't

985
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 5: even that shadow We didn't even try that hard to

986
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 5: cover their tracks, like the opioid epidemic, you know, which

987
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 5: largely affected impoverished white communities. You know, it's another group

988
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 5: that is to some degree left behind. And I'm not

989
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 5: trying to be like, don't forget about us white people,

990
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 5: but I mean it is a thing. There are people

991
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 5: that live in certain part flyover states or whatever that

992
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 5: are treated in a very similar way to the way

993
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 5: the black community was treated as throwaway. You know, I

994
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 5: don't know. I just interested in your thoughts there. And

995
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 5: we know big Pharma did that. We know they did it.

996
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: You know, well, yeah, big Farma is just I mean, really,

997
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 4: I think the government scaled a big pharm. I think

998
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 4: everybody scared a big farma because they got all the money.

999
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 4: Once again, follow the money. It all comes to that.

1000
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 4: We got appeel for it. We don't fix it. The

1001
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 4: real peel is life, real peel is God. The real

1002
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 4: way to fix something is to understand you're already complete

1003
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: and compact the way you was built. You come with

1004
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: all your accessories. You're already ready to go. But if

1005
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 4: we're in a society, keep teaching, teaching you you need

1006
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 4: this or you need that for you to be happy,

1007
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 4: or you have to have this to be happy. You

1008
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: have everything you need already to be happy, man, And

1009
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 4: the really good stuff don't cost money, you know. I'd

1010
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 4: like the guy was talking to the hooker and he said,

1011
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 4: do you believe in free love? And she said, yeah,

1012
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 4: I believe in free love? And they had sex and

1013
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 4: when it's over. She said fitted dollars, and he said,

1014
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 4: fitty dollars. I thought you said you believe in free love.

1015
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 4: He said, I believe in free love. Was free the sex,

1016
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 4: That's all I'm yeah, so yeah, So it's it's a

1017
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 4: lot of stuff out there, man, I mean, I'm scared

1018
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 4: to even look like I wouldn't even look on the

1019
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 4: on the black web. If you see the kind of

1020
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 4: stuff that's happening in and around us, you'll be very frightened.

1021
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 3: Well, Michael, I want I want to ask you something.

1022
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: It's a little strange. There's been a whole bunch of

1023
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 3: mainstream news, including coming from the United States Navy, about

1024
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 3: this stuff called UAP. We used to know it as UFOs.

1025
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 3: Have you Have you seen any of that news?

1026
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 4: Does that?

1027
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 3: Does that interest you at all? The concept of maybe

1028
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: either aliens or some kind of super sophisticated military tech.

1029
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 4: No. I First, I do believe that there's UFOs. I

1030
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 4: do believe that there's aliens. I do believe that there's

1031
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 4: something out there greater than us. I pray that there

1032
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 4: is something smarter than humans, Please Jesus, please, So I

1033
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 4: really think, I mean, I'm still trying to figure out

1034
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 4: although black people and I'm sorry, y'all white could y'all

1035
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 4: might want to won't agree with that. But black people,

1036
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 4: to me the greatest people in the whole wide world,

1037
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 4: and since the beginning of time they've been building shit.

1038
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 4: But I still haven't figured out how we built the pyramids.

1039
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I am sorry. I think we had help

1040
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 4: from aliens on that one, and also called them all

1041
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 4: the mathematical equations that that made the building of them

1042
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 4: is the building of the pyramids is set up to

1043
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 4: fix astrology, to align up with the stars and with

1044
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 4: the universe. I just don't know, way, way, way, way

1045
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 4: way back then that we were thinking on those levels

1046
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: on Earth.

1047
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, because they didn't have TV sucking

1048
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: up their attention, they didn't have like, they had much

1049
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: more focus, went much more connected the natural world.

1050
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean definitely.

00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 4: Okay, like we did.

1075
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we I think we missed it with aliens,

1076
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: but we've got to got to take there. So the

1077
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: way we play this game, Michael, is we will just

1078
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: like kind of rapid fire, We'll ask you just a

1079
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: bare bones, a basic couple of conspiracy theories, and you

1080
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: let us know whether you buy them all the way,

1081
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: whether you think it's you know, absolute hogwash, or something

1082
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: might be true about it. So let's start with one

1083
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: of the famous ones. Staying on aliens, staying on extraterrestrials.

1084
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: Do you think the US government or any other world

1085
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: government actually found a piece of like a spaceship.

1086
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 4: And we got them. We got them here. Definitely, I

1087
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 4: guarantee you that they got them the area fifty one.

1088
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 4: That shit is real. And I'm gonna tell you. Out

1089
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 4: here in California, I see mountains that I swear to

1090
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 4: this activity in those mountains when I come down to

1091
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 4: fourteenth because I'm right off the fourteen Freeway, which is

1092
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 4: the Palmdale near Lancaster, so the worst name is near us.

1093
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 4: The stealth Bomber is like maybe four miles from my house,

1094
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 4: and sometimes you can hear what sounds like the earth

1095
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 4: is moving. You just hear, you know what the hell

1096
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 4: it is, and it'll just be dark and go past.

1097
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,959
Speaker 4: I mean, so I think that they got a bunch

1098
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 4: of stuff in the mountains here. I think they have

1099
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 4: underground stuff. And I definitely think that aliens have been

1100
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 4: here and got trapped here. I mean, I don't think

1101
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 4: any aliens came here and lived except the ones that

1102
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 4: are living and playing like the humans. But I don't

1103
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 4: I think that we have had alien activity here. I

1104
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 4: think alien vehicle parts are some way here to be found. Yes, absolutely, Michael.

1105
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 4: Did you see the film? Nope?

1106
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 5: No, no, ohat watching Nope. It's a it's a real

1107
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 5: good description of kind of what you're described. It's a

1108
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 5: good like dramatization in a really wonderfully paced did you know,

1109
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 5: funny yet intense science fiction film you know from Jordan

1110
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 5: Peele and it's it's absolutely phenomenal and it's all about

1111
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 5: like what's going on above ground, like in the clouds

1112
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 5: or in the mountains, you know, and like what does

1113
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 5: that feel?

1114
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 4: I think you'd get a kick because you said all

1115
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 4: of that. I'm gonna watch it now. I hadn't had

1116
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 4: a chance to see it, but I'm gonna take time

1117
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 4: to watch very interesting film.

1118
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh, let's go to another one. Let's

1119
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: see like one or two more conspiracy criz with Michael

1120
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: Collier running ship.

1121
00:52:59,000 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 4: I thought we did.

1122
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 3: I've got one for you. Have you ever heard anyone

1123
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 3: talking about fluoride in the water.

1124
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure no, except for okay, I know chlorine

1125
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 4: in the water, but I don't know about fluoride the water.

1126
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 4: What's that?

1127
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, there's so there is fluoride in most of

1128
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 3: America's public drinking water sources. And it goes back a

1129
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 3: long time ago when it was decided that there needs

1130
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 3: to be something a couple of different chemicals in the

1131
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 3: water to clean it just a little bit as it

1132
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 3: goes through the you know, the processing plants right the waste.

1133
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 4: But they didn't have a flint Michigan all right now.

1134
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 5: But but Matt, isn't the idea also that it's like

1135
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 5: it's good for your teeth. But it's also something that

1136
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 5: some people have issues with, like is it or is

1137
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 5: it something else?

1138
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 4: Is it.

1139
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: Calcifying glass?

1140
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 3: The the scientific theory behind it and the reasoning behind

1141
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 3: it is that consuming fluoride does strengthen teeth, but strengthened

1142
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 3: that teeth strengthening is when fluorides apply directly to your teeth.

1143
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 3: And how often are you just swishing water around all

1144
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: the time except for if you're washing your mouth out right.

1145
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: The concept is if you ingest enough of that fluoride,

1146
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 3: it potentially has some subduing of the mind effects because

1147
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: it was used in it was used by several groups,

1148
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 3: including the Nazis, to subdue people in the past.

1149
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 4: I mean that's true but are you supposed to ingest it? Though?

1150
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 4: Are you supposed to drink it? Well? I mean they

1151
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 4: say it's fine, you know, I mean, you know, that's

1152
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 4: like toothpaste. If you brush the teeth of two paste,

1153
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 4: you're not supposed to because you know what's in it

1154
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 4: and spit it out.

1155
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 5: But but man, man, wouldn't wouldn't the government say that

1156
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 5: the amount that's in the water supply, which is acknowledged,

1157
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 5: is safe to consume.

1158
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you'd have to be consistently drinking water

1159
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 3: and peeing it out all day long.

1160
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I know, I know it's bullshit. If they

1161
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 4: said it, they've had It's okay.

1162
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of We're seeing a lot of

1163
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: I think we're speaking a lot of the same languages here.

1164
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: The idea of self reliance, it's very important to us. Uh,

1165
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: the concept of yeah, we maybe we shouldn't automatically trust

1166
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: people in power. Right, Uh, let's see another. Okay, corrupts and.

1167
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 4: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But I just think that we

1168
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 4: as a people, uh, we fought everybody black and white.

1169
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 4: Even though we still fight each other as black and white.

1170
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 4: The bold of us will hear both black and white

1171
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 4: fault to have the kind of country where people do

1172
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 4: have decency, where there is an order, there's a hierarchy,

1173
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 4: and there's an understanding of the direction we're going, and

1174
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 4: we will all work towards that. That is the understanding.

1175
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 4: This guy came into a system that's called politics and said, well,

1176
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 4: let's get rid of the politicians. It's like the lifeguard

1177
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 4: going down and saying, hey, who's gonna weak. Well, let's

1178
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 4: get rid of everybody who can swim, all the people

1179
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: that swim with me. Let's get some non swimmings. It's

1180
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 4: god damn pool. You expect people to swim as politics.

1181
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 4: You expect people to be political in the world of politics.

1182
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 4: And so what we got is someone who's the opposite

1183
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 4: of politics. And you think, can anything be worse than politics? Yes,

1184
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 4: the opposite of it, which is called Trump. In fact,

1185
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 4: you see right here, I got me some Trump politician.

1186
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 6: Uh.

1187
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 4: I can tell you there is nothing more joyful than

1188
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 4: wiping your as with a helpless sheets. That is Trump issue.

1189
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: However, I want to say something though I want to,

1190
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: I want to say something is defense. Uh. He has

1191
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: been an amazing statesman and a great politician for Russia.

1192
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 4: He's got their best interest.

1193
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 5: But I would argue, though you say, you know, the

1194
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 5: opposite of politics was worse than it's Trump, I would argue,

1195
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 5: the opposite of politics is complete chaos, uh and no organization.

1196
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 5: So it's like we you know, they always say that

1197
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 5: what is a democracy is the worst system of government

1198
00:56:58,880 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 5: except for.

1199
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 4: All the other ones.

1200
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 5: You know, we're all doing our best to buie byass

1201
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 5: systemwhere we can exist and not murder each other. It's

1202
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 5: not working supermand other countries. But we we can't though,

1203
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 5: not just based on decorum, not.

1204
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 4: Just back goddamn it. That's a different show.

1205
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: Okay, forty acres, get get forty acres out in San Francisco,

1206
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, don't let them stick you with we get

1207
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: to pick out in North Dakota.

1208
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 4: Well you your doctor, doctor Field just came out and

1209
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 4: see it. If they took twelve trillion dollars, they could

1210
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 4: pay off all the black descendants of slaves like three

1211
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand dollars each. But they need to

1212
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 4: turn it right back around and see it. But you

1213
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 4: ain't get that kind of money to black people unless

1214
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 4: you show the loose money. And doctor killed me fuckerr yeah,

1215
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 4: it's not right now. He said, we first need to

1216
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 4: have to train them how. We need to train them

1217
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 4: how to properly use money. Otherwise, and these are his words,

1218
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 4: it would be disastrous. So you saying you can't give

1219
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 4: me the money you owe me unless I use it

1220
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 4: the way you think is a proper way to use it.

1221
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 4: If I take that ship and bury it in the backyard,

1222
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 4: it's my shit. You should just give me what's man,

1223
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 4: and don't say I can only have it under a

1224
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 4: certain condition. Reparations mean repairing something that you understand you

1225
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 4: have broken, and the breaker is supposed to fix it.

1226
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 4: And they fixed that with the American Indian They gave

1227
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 4: them off man casino them was a rolling. They did

1228
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 4: it with the Japanese in the tournament camps. They gave

1229
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 4: white folks money to make up for the slaves they

1230
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 4: lost when they had to release the slaves. And nobody

1231
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 4: asks any of those people what they're gonna do when

1232
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 4: they get the money. They just say, here your stuff,

1233
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 4: gonna have a good day. So doctor phild kissed my

1234
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 4: butttop the darkest recesses. Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead.

1235
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 3: See I wish I was taught how to handle money,

1236
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 3: because when I started my first job and knew how

1237
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 3: to do things, I had no idea what to do

1238
00:58:58,840 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 3: with money.

1239
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 4: I know idea.

1240
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a thing that just comes with time,

1241
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 3: or you've got some kind of teacher that has money

1242
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 3: that shows you how it works. I'm just saying, like

1243
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 3: I wish our public schools would.

1244
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 4: The public how do's he's in the school.

1245
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: It's a design. The public school system is designed to

1246
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: create temperate factory workers. That's why. That's how it came.

1247
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: That's whether there's not financial literacy classes right the closest.

1248
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people got with something like as.

1249
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 4: They took that away.

1250
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know, can we hand with one conspiracy

1251
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 3: I had?

1252
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: I had one too, but we'll just have mister call

1253
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: your back.

1254
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 5: Can I just quickly just add to sex ed was

1255
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 5: controversial because they don't want people to have safe sex.

1256
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 5: They want them to have too many goddamn kids so

1257
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 5: that they're poor forever.

1258
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 4: So they didn't want to talk about it at all.

1259
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 4: Or it's a controversy, the go ahead, you both had one,

1260
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 4: we could squeeze the me and come on, Matt, what's

1261
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 4: your theory?

1262
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, my conspiracy is okay, it's the year. I

1263
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 3: think it's probably nineteen ninety nine when you found out.

1264
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 3: I have a feeling it wasn't two thousand. But when

1265
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 3: you found out that there was a thing called the

1266
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: Original Kings of Comedy Tour happening and you weren't a

1267
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 3: part of it, where were you and how did you

1268
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: find out?

1269
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 4: First of all, I don't understand how they had a

1270
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 4: show called the Kings of Comedy without the King. Let's

1271
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 4: just start with that. I was right there at the time,

1272
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 4: but I wasn't invited. You know, it was Steve's idea.

1273
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 4: And the truth of the matter is he did invite

1274
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 4: me at one point and then two weeks later I

1275
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 4: tried to reach him. I never heard from him again.

1276
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 4: But it was right around the time that he had

1277
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 4: lost his first manager who we all loved, named Juan Hall,

1278
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 4: and Wan Hall had died, so I guess the new

1279
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: team came in and helped him change his man. I

1280
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 4: was almost on that, but no, it didn't happen. Just

1281
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:55,919
Speaker 4: a lot of the things like that, I haven't Shaq

1282
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 4: went out and did the Shack Comedy Tools. I wrote

1283
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 4: Shack sh I he had thirty seven comedians. I say,

1284
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 4: it ain't thirty seven motherfuckers on this planet that's funny

1285
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 4: than me. It might be thirty two, thirty three, but

1286
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 4: thirty seven one of a nigga got to do to

1287
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 4: get on Shacks comedy things. So I don't know, and

1288
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 4: when you would ask me? So, when did Shack become

1289
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 4: the arbiter for what's funny? Just putting that out there.

1290
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 4: He's so funny, goofy. Let me tell you something. He

1291
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 4: is doing commercials for everything. He lost me last week though,

1292
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 4: when he did that commercial for Tampacs, I said, I

1293
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 4: am done Shack for tam PACs. I'm like, now, watch out.

1294
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Shock. Shack's a big deal here at our fair Metropolis

1295
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: of Atlanta. Man, he runs the Krispy Krees.

1296
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 4: That's I'm a Shack fan. No, don't get it. I'm

1297
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 4: a Shack fan.

1298
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: We all walked it back, Yeah, walked it back. But

1299
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: so okay, here's uh, you know, I almost want to

1300
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: save this one. We'll see if it works. But the last,

1301
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: that's one I wanted to ask that we It's kind

1302
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: of something we talk about a lot and a lot

1303
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: of people privately believe in something like this wanted to

1304
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: ask you, between just you millions of listeners in the

1305
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: n Essay and us, do you believe in psychic powers?

1306
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely absolutely. I know people who are brilliant at

1307
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 4: it as well. No. Absolutely, I'm in that whole thing.

1308
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 4: That's my thing right there. I'm with all of that,

1309
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 4: everything that deals with the spiritual, with the energy of

1310
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 4: connecting on a spiritual plane, on astro travel, all that can.

1311
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 4: I absolutely believe in it. And I've done mushrooms, so

1312
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 4: I have traveled, you know. I mean, if you understand

1313
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 4: what what hallucinogenic mushrooms are about, you know, I have

1314
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 4: taken a hero's dose. You know that is a hero does,

1315
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,439
Speaker 4: is like ten or more grams. I have taken enough

1316
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 4: where I could literally fold space. There's a movie called Dune.

1317
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 4: You're not that new original one from the real Herbert

1318
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,479
Speaker 4: from the real book. And in Dune they're all looking

1319
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 4: for the spice, the spice milange. It gives you the

1320
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 4: ability to fold space, to go anywhere in the universe

1321
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 4: without moving. That's what mushrooms are. And man, I've sat

1322
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 4: down and had conversations with my father who died when

1323
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 4: I was twelve, and I've sat and had conversation with

1324
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 4: him like he was here right now. So I believe

1325
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 4: in all that type of stuff. Oh, absolutely, that stuff

1326
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 4: is very very real. Do you think it can be taught? No,

1327
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 4: I don't think. I think that's something you have or

1328
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 4: you don't have. I don't think that could be taught.

1329
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 4: You know, I have a great teacher of spirituality named Starius.

1330
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 4: A Starius miraculously pull him up a starist, miracularize a

1331
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 4: bad boy, and he could read his reading ninety eight

1332
01:03:54,960 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 4: percent accurate. He does dideri, due wielding, he does energy old,

1333
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 4: he does a thing called what's that thing that everybody

1334
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 4: else is doing? Right reichy Ome. He does all of

1335
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 4: those modalities, and he's king at that stuff. And I

1336
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 4: absolutely believe, absolutely believe the stuff he's saying. And a

1337
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 4: lot of it is he helped my life, you know.

1338
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, this is something where we're at the point

1339
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: where I know we've opened several doors, not just the

1340
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: doors of perception, but the doors the future. Conversation. Mister Collya,

1348
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 4: Thank you for asking that very important, impertinent question. Okay,

1349
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 4: y'all can fad me anyway? First of all, I do

1350
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 4: the most amazing show in the whole world for me

1351
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 4: right now, which is now Michael talks the air Body.

1352
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 4: Because I'm doing that and it's not everybody, it's air

1353
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 4: e r r bo d y Airbody. My first guest

1354
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 4: was T. S. Madison. She had a show on WE

1355
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 4: Network and she's just just a brilliant Uh. We have raw,

1356
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 4: real people on my show. We had Earthquake come turn

1357
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 4: it out. We had t I. I got to tease

1358
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 4: him about him getting booed off stage, but he turned

1359
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 4: that around. He was doing comedy, he got booed. Now

1360
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 4: he figured it out and he's selling out places doing comedy.

1361
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 4: Booing what nothing compared to JB. Smooth. Oh my god,

1362
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 4: I love JB. Smooth. But they booed him so hard

1363
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 4: in Atlanta. I could hear the shit in the plane

1364
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 4: I was flying over here, boo, So why are they

1365
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 4: doing JB Smooth? We love Joey Smooth. I love, but

1366
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 4: sometimes you have to have the right material for the

1367
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 4: right audience. The incorrect presentation can throw you off. And

1368
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 4: I think in his case, he was in the wrong

1369
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 4: place in the line of comedians because when you go up,

1370
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,959
Speaker 4: you're good, then better, then better, then better then better,

1371
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 4: So it has the role. And I think he went

1372
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 4: behind somebody else who's high energy. I think he followed

1373
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 4: somebody like Oh, I think he followed who the guy

1374
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,720

1490
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 3: I was only ten when it came out, so I

1491
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 3: don't think I saw it like immediately. I must have

1492
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 3: been a little older when I finally found it.

1493
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 5: But uh wow, I think I remember renting it from

1494
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,600

01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 5: it's like on fire and it's obviously Charlie. I meant

1498
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 5: to follow up, like, did Charlie Sheen just discover him

1499
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 5: on Venice Beach and that's how he got the gig.
