56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: I was very excited that day. I was at the

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: game chairing. We went through hell. I was you know,

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: I moved to Philippe nineteen ninety. You know, so I

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: suffered through the Randall Cunningham era, all the way through McNabb.

60
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean McNabb went through the NFC Championship game five

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: years in a row, medical won Super Bowl and then

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: he threw up. So it was great. But nobody, if

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: anybody deserved to win the Super Bowl was a McNabb's team.

64
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I feel so bad him. Guys didn't get to win

65
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the nobody deserved him more than them. Westbrook and of

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: course uh Darknds and you know product Jeremy to Owens.

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: That team was so deserving of it. But you know,

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eighteen, we won it for dump.

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: That was for them. You were at the event the

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: other night, Tuesday night, in which Dave Chappelle was on stage,

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and I don't call him a fan because fans don't

72
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: do things like that. When the guy ran on stage

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: and tried to tackle Dave Chappe, Hell yeah you would there.

74
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: What was going through your mind when that happened? As

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: if I'm bolting, I mean it was, it was so shocking.

76
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: It was happening so fast, you know, and I personally

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: think this guy's a cloud chasing with a very cloud

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: chasing error. I mean, look at the Super Bowl. Somebody

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: always make plans to jump down the Super Bowl face cloud.

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna say this had anything will

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Will Smith, you know, I mean making people comfortable enough

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 1: to smack comedians. I mean we have to be signed

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: to like death World Records now, so we have to protected.

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: But it was very shocking. Happened really fast. You know,

85
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: first I thought it was some kind of a joke,

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: but then we realized it was real, you know. And

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: I think that guy planned this because you know, Dave

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: was done his set, right, you know, he's done his set,

89
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: so now there's not much attention on him, right, He's

90
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: about to introduce somebody else and boomed this guy. Everybody's

91
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: relaxed there. So that was the third show that he

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: was doing. I think that guy was there Show one

93
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: and show too, timed everything right when he was going

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: to do this thing. That's where I feared the way

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: he did it. And when he did it. It was

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: a timing type of thing because I'm sure with the

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand c venue, it should be security watching this guy,

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: watching who's coming on ste So they fell asleep for

99
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: one second and this guy you mentioned that you don't

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: believe it had anything to do with the Will Smith

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Chris Rock incident. When that incident has happened. I don't

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: know if you're seeing it, Liuda, but you saw the replay,

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: did you think, like, man, that might be a skit

104
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: or did you know that was man? This man actually

105
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: slapped the airdshot of Chris Rock. Yeah. When I saw it,

106
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, at first I thought it was some kind

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: of a a skit. Yeah. And then when when when

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Will Smith sat there instead of custom, I'm like, oh no,

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: he's not cussing the oscars right as a skit? Right?

110
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, that that bothered me a lot. I

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: lost out of respect. So what what? But what bothered

112
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: you the most? That he actually did it or the

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: not apologizing immediately after or the continued He actually did it,

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: my goodness, actually did on the biggest stage, the biggest

115
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: night of his life. You know, first of all, this

116
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: award is being produced by Wild Packer, a black man. Correct,

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: Is that was signed that you was gonna get this award?

118
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Simmer At Jackson was receiving an award, right, you know,

119
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: it was like it was just made for your big night,

120
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: stars aligned perfect right, and then and then this happens

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, and there were so many other things he

122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: could have done right instead of that, like, you know,

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: custom while he was on stay here, one more word

124
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: about my wife, I'm gonna come fuck you up, right,

125
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: that would have been okay, oh why hit receiving his

126
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: award go and stay hey? And I appreciate the joke

127
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: about my wife whatever, right, but going and hitting him,

128
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: and you know, because I felt like when he smacked

129
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: Chris Rock, he smacked every comedian, right. I felt like

130
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I smacked because I go hard in the paint, right,

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: and I talk about people, you know, and I don't

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: expect nobody to come on stage to hit me, right,

133
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: because I made a joke just at the end of

134
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: this his words did It's hard to say because I

135
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: don't know how you would. We're going to talk about

136

Speaker 1: your situation because you recently got engaged. But did you

137
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: think the joke rolls to the level that would warrant

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: that kind of reaction? Not at all. That's why I

139
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: stopped back, and I started thinking about it. I'm like, okay,

140
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: let me see what he was thinking to go and

141

Speaker 1: you're not invited me. You're not a great enough actress, right,

154
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: You're not big enough to come into the boycott. And

155
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: then we come to twenty twenty two and he says,

156
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can't do nothing, but Gi Jane, that's

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: the only thing you could do if it was if

158
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: anything came out, right, Okay, maybe I'm thinking way deep,

159
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a reason why he smacked him, right,

160
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: that's the only thing I could think of, Like, Okay,

161
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: this guy's been starting to my wife for years. He's

162
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: telling my wife he can't be nothing. She would never

163
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: do a movie unless Gi Jane comes out right. That's

164
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the only reason I would think why he would have

165
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: he will make him go and hit up. I guess

166
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: he did. It didn't dawn in on him right away

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: because he laughed at first. That the part he's laughing

168
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: at the joke. He looks at her, she's not laughing,

169
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: and then he feels he has to defend her honor,

170
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: that he needs to go up there and do something

171
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: because he made a joke. But Mike, your girl knows you.

172
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: She knows what will sit you off, she knows what

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: that will make you upset. Jada got to stop that. Yeah,

174
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: my girl would have stopped it. Yeah, and my money,

175
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: my girl would have stopped it. I had an X.

176
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: My X was the type that we cost me how

177
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: to get our ass. That's why, right, you know, that's

178
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: you can't we can't have one one like that. And

179
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: like you know, we go out and she argue with

180
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: big niggas bigger than me. Yeah, I'm not thirty, I'm

181
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: sixty eight, one thirty a crackhead compared to this guy. Right,

182
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, And that's what so I mean, my woman

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: would have stopped my current woman would have stopped me

184
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: from going right, knowing that, bro, this is this is

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: not the time, this is not the place night for you,

186
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: right right, So this was a nice ideal for you,

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: and and it's fun. It's sad that he won the oscar,

188
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: but his actions overshadowed this moment and then forever, forever,

189
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: that's this is what those oscars will be known as

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: the Will Smith Chris Rock Obscar. And I think if

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: he would apologize to Chris at that moment, it might

192
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: have been a little bit better. When you can't, you

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: can't apologize to the bro. You slap the man, but

194
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: you don't apologize to him. But hold on, this is

195
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: your brother. He from Philly, You from Philly. He's light skinned.

196
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: You don't count life here, brother, drowskin. Brother, have to

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: stick together. I'm riding with Chris and I'm a comedians

198
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: my job. We have the same job. I go hard

199
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: and paint on social media on people. I talk about people,

200
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: so I feel, you know, and I don't think give

201
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: anybody no right to come and hit me. Have that

202
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240

00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,240

00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: to I came to America. America was like that apple

Speaker 1: is like the yah, y'all hit all that damn apple.

307
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: And now y'all see things. Yeah, y'all see things. Y'all

308
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't be saying all talking about. Like I said, I

309
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: had no idea I was dark skinned. I came here, Yeah,

310
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: not like I was in my village and I was

311
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: red bone or nothing. Right. But the kids let me

312
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: know this. I remember hanging out with some kids. It

313
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: said you black. I said, of course, we're all black.

314
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: They said, no, you black as hell. I mean. They

315
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: taught me, I look like under the bed that's dark

316
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: as hell if you look under the bed lately. They

317
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: taught me, I look like I have no bright ideas.

318
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: They said, the difference between me and midnight is eleven

319
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: fifty nine. You that dark, they said, when God said

320
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: let there be light, I was out of town. They

321
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: taught me, Stevie, one that sees me every day, that's

322
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: dark as hell. Stevie, don't see your damn thing. So

323
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: when they is that why you became a comedian to

324
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: get them up off you? Yes? So what I learned

325
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: is I took everything that said about me and I

326
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: flipped it around and accepted it and make Now I

327
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: make fun of myself, right, and then now I make

328
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: fun of everybody. So now if I can make for myself,

329
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't really care a boy anybody else. So I'm just,

330
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, just giving back what I've been giving my

331
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: whole life. I'm like, yeah, I became a hater. I

332
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: broast everybody. Anything that happens, I'm on top of it.

333
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: I follow you on social media and I saw where

334
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: you recently got engaged. Yes, but you love women? Might

335
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I love women? And I established that from the beginning

336
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: of this relationship. I realized after my last relationship I

337
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: did that beautiful woman for four years and my whole life,

338
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: I've never been faithful any of my excess watching years.

339
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: I cheat on all of you. And I lied, man.

340
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: I lied so much. Man, I don't even know what

341
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: the truth is. I cheat on it everyone when I

342
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: was with and when I realized that after my last relationship,

343
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: when she left me because you know, she got telled

344
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: me cheating, then I realized myself, I can't be faithful.

345
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: So I said, if anybody coming around, I'm like, listen,

346
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm done with a relationship. I'm gonna tell you

347
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: right now, I cannot be. I'm not a show. It's

348
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: in my blood. You know. My mother told me my

349
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: dad was an alcoholic and he had a lot of women.

350
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm not alcoholic. I'm not a drinker, but I mean

351
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: I I like a lot of women. So we, as

352
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: my lady, came in agreement. You know, originally we had

353
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: agreement on like once a month, I could do whatever

354
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: I want, right, whatever I wanted. And you know, it's

355
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: something and I realized that, you know, it's something you

356
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: could establish in the beginning of a relationship. Every man,

357
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: that's our biggest problem, infidelity, right, and we have to

358
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: we could we in an era where we would actually

359
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: get an agreement made. But everybody said that. Everybody's like, well,

360
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, tell me what you want, give me the

361
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a choice. Yes, but most of us

362
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: are afraid of the choice that she will make that

363
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: won't include us. You weren't afraid of that, Yeah, because

364
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: we rich brook niggas can't do this. Brookman got no choice.

365
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: He can't be afforded. Woman's well, how you gonna cheat

366
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: with somebody else? I have a lot of young athletes

367
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty two years or twenty three years old, and I

368
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: meet him, I said, listen, get this established from the

369
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: beginning of a a relationship. You know you're making ten twenty

370
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: min dollars a year. You line on ten women and

371
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: tell him head, you know you be my one month.

372
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: But once in a while, I like to do what

373
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: I want to do. Eighty percent would accept it, if

374
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: not all of them, right, you know, at the end

375
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: of the day, a woman would take her bills being

376
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: paid from a rich man, a cheese and a brook man.

377

Speaker 1: Women are so much more emotional. Man. We could bang

391
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: ten women and not have feelings. Women are different. Women

392
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: are emotional. They cannot do what if she just had

395
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: could have to if she might have to decide between Hugh,

396
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: because she might be emotionally attached and she's gonna be Okay. No,

397
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,760

00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: have someone you want this agreement. This is what I

00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: the game, I was, you know, I was. I stayed afterwards,

464
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,840

00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: back to the hotel, she said, Mike, I think he

480
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: going back to the hotel. She's like, Mike, I think

481
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: this guy was in my DM. I'm like, I said,

482
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,600

483
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He probably just throw you

484
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: one on my side, chicks whatever he was. Fast forward

485
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,320

486
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: That's when when she took me know, and this is

487
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: I think, I'm not sure what was the situation. I

488
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: think the Jenda girl was done then and then he

00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: tried he said, he tried to holler at me, you know,

490
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,560

491
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: knew she was a rod estate agent, right, so try

492
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: to act like he's trying to buy just to like

493
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: for her to come. And then you know, he he's like,

494
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: isn't trying to holler at me? Isn't Mike your home?

495
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: He said, well, we're not friends like that. And that's

496
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: when I was, you know, I was pretty much done

777
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: as an artist, television is always more important than a

778
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, a regular pearance. They know, the regular pearance

779

Speaker 1: on TV's your price go up, right, and we had

782
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: the right choice to do is still you know, cancel

783
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: a regular show for a television show, right, you know,

784
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: I cancel the show with the guys. You know. Well, no,

785
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: I didn't send a deposit back because I was replacing

786
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: myself with two other guys. I get two for the

787
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: price of one. Yeah, no, no, no, no, that that

00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: wasn't agreement. They didn't They didn't send They didn't send

789
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: you the deposit for you to send two other guys.

790
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: They said the deposit for you. But they got they had.

791
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: It was the point where they pretty much had choices.

792
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: The show is in I gonna week, you know, and

793
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: I thought I'd send them to good caliber comedians, you know.

794
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: And the deposit really goes towards you know, it's it's

795
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: usually have the money so sometimes to go to travel

796
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: in the hotel, and then it orders himself so pretty much,

797
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, most of the deposit was gonna go through

798
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: whever I was replacing myself with. Right, they agreed to it,

799
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: and then when they realized that it, their audience got

800
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: upset after the show because they didn't get Michael Blackston.

801
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: And it's when they decided to suit right. So when

802
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: you have a last suit, what a lot of time?

803
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: You know? Uh a court TV show with contact because

804
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: they'll get ahold of those paper they'll get a hold

805
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: of those things from the courts, right, and they'll ask

806
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: you here you'd rather bring this head will fly you in,

807
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, and make sure you're good. And so I decided,

808
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: you know what, I'd rather go to TV court than

809
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: go somewhere Indiana, right, And I ain't want a problem

810
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: with any right, so I chose television. Did you win?

811
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeh ain't wait? Yeah, but you thought you were You

813
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: I thought he accepted what I gave him. You know,

814
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: he had no choice backwards against the wall. He had

815
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: no choice but to accepted. But he got his money. Man,

816
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: he got him a new suit. Hold on, I lost

817
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,319

Speaker 1: the time I got the Philly, I re knew what

839
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,319

840
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: the Philly, it was a little bit more easier. But

Speaker 1: the whole thing that went down with Joy Floor and

854
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,360

856
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: really It's where I need to put my concentration on

857
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,880

00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: a home there. I go home every other month. But

865
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,040

00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: and sisters, okay, you know, because we could. It was

904
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: people don't understand you know this, This thing is easy, right,

905
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: especially coming from a black continent to come to America

906
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: is the hardest person to get a visa too. Yeah,

907
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: I'm at one point I finally made some money after

908
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: doing Next Friday. I bought all my brothers and them

909
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: plane tickets to come to America, and they went to

910
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: go get a visa and they got denied. You get

911
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: denied ninety percent of the time Jamaicans get you know,

912
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: any when you come in from a black country, right,

913
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: your parents don't need visa to come here, right. You know,

914
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: when you come in from a black country, you have

915
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: to prove that you're gonna take your ass to help back.

916
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: They have to know that you're gonna go back. So

917
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: how I didn't know that. You gotta, like, if you're married,

918
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: your wife gotta be there, you gotta have kids, and

919
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: you have to you have to show you have money

920
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: in that bank. You have a reason to go back, right,

921
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: you know. But you can improve all of those you

922
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: get denied. So it took me fifteen years to go back,

923
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: because of course I had stuff from nothing. I had

924
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: no money I had. You know, Once I was able

925
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: to make some money, I said, let me go and

926
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: see my people, right, So I went back, and then

927
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: that had to be a big change. Fifteen years. People change,

928
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of change in

929
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: fifteen days. There's a lot of change in fifteen years.

930
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: At that moment, where I went to in my you know,

931
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: my little town or or close. It's a town. It's

932
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: not quite the village, right, it's close. It's little village enough.

933
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: And I remember being at this place as a as

934
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: a little kid, you know, when I was like three

935
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: years old. I remember being there. I'm three years old,

936
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: and when I went back, I actually went back there

937
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: eight years old again. But I went back twenty fifteen

938
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: years later and looked the same to me. You know,

939
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: then I'm not going through the marketplace to buy stuff,

940
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I see kids in the marketplace during

941
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: school hours. So I'm like, I'm like, why these kids

942
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: out in school? Right then I found out that the

943
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: government schools fills up. They can't afford to go to school,

944
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: so they're just out here helping their mothers self free

945
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: or whatever they're So I'm like, okay, So I went

946
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: to the the nearest school, the local school. At that time,

947
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: this is a this is a year two thousand and one.

948
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: I just didn't movie next Friday, right, So I went

949
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: to the local school. I'm like, you know what it

950
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: costs to go to school? And I found out it

951
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: was at that time it was my eighty dollars a

952
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,640

00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,640

1053
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: different soup you make to go with it. Okay, my

1054
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: favorite soup is peanut butter stup soup. What kind of

1062
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,360

1063
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: The taste is more in a different soup. Right, Yeah,

Speaker 1: I want to like, they want thirty dollars for them things, right,

1202
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,720

1203
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: get a job as a kid selling Kenny's door to door.

1204
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,880

01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: don't know how I got hooked up with it. Maybe

1206
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: it's somebody from school whatever. And they said, this guy

Speaker 1: to take us to like rich neighborhoods, rich white neighborhoods,

1208
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: and we go lie to them pretty much, right, you know.

Speaker 1: We sell box of candy that you know that's costing

1210
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe fifty cents a box. We'll go to knock on

1211
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: these rich people's door. Hey, I'm Michael Blackson for the

1212
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Mount Cavalry Youth Court. I'm here. Had to start at

1213
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Mount Calvary. Minds, it's not a church, but this guy

1214
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: was Muslim. Yeah, he was Muslim man taking us to it,

1215
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: and we saying church. Make a long story short. We

1216
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: sold these candies for three thousand and fifties in the box,

1217
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: and we made seventy five cents out of every box

1218
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: that we sold. So I started making my seventy five

1219
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: dollars a week, and I saved my money. I had

1220
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: to give my half to my mother. That's what one

1221
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: thing we did in Africa as kids. Oh yeah, you

1222
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: want to help a bill, you can you give half

1223
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: the money to your mom. So I get half to

1224
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: my mom, saved the other half. And I remember I

1225
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: went got my first pair of Wrangler jeans. Who Wrangler,

1226
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: not Lee, not Levi, not Cavalclad. You had the Wrangler.

1227
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: So now I went to uh was it tenth grade

1228
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: in Baron Jo High in New York, New Jersey. I

1229
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: mean going into school in tenth grade. Imember my first

1230
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: I had Reboke. I remember my first player of Reboke,

1231
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: and then I had my Wrangler Lee James Lee jeans

1232
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,959
Speaker 1: and some Natigra shirt. All of a sudden, now people

1233
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: want to I have friends now nobody's rose to me anymore.

1234
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: So I set on myself. Man, whenever I make money,

1235
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: I'd be the baddest drafting, be dressed and nine. So

1236
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: is that so when the kids that were roasting you,

1244
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: I remember me. I remember my last year and I

1245
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: went to a junior high. So the junior high was

1246

01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: forget that, Okay, you know, and then what the hell,

1253
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: what the hell does that mean? I still got a

1258
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,360

1259
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: it came to good grades. And I and during that summer,

1260

1269
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: week because I was doing that movie. And so I

1270
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: remember coming through Philly, and I remember when the movie

1271
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,800

1273
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm not, yeah, yes, you know. So it gave me

1274
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: that first stardom thing, you know, but I still wasn't

1275
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: thinking about comedy. Comedy that's when the TV came here.

1276
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Like man eyeballs, people see, they recognize, okay, And I

1277
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,480

1278
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: started coming out my last year of eleventh grade, when

1279
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I was about to go to twelfth grade. So now

1280
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: you're about to go from a junior to a senior.

1281
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: You want to make a name for yourself. When you're

1282
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: a senior, you want everybody to know you. So I

1283
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: remember the eleventh grade, the last year, we had like

1284
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: a talent show, and I remember the funniest guy in

1290
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: when the comedies kind of started a little bit. And then,

1315
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: How did you get fired from Dominos? Well, at that point,

1316
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I was taking comedy more serious than my job. Okay,

1317
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was a manager. I remember going to

1318
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: New York to do this thing called the Uptown Comedy Club. Yep,

1319
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: it was on TV on UPN I did appearance on it,

1320
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: and in mind, my assistant manager didn't show up the work,

1321
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: so the store didn't open. And that's that happened to

1322
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: be the same day the general managers decided to show

1323
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: up a lot of these a lot of these fast

1324
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,919
Speaker 1: food franchise the big bosses just shows up anytime they want,

1325
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: just to catch you up guard right, you know. And

1326
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: they happened to show up the show up this day

1327
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: that nobody's store is not open. Nobody's there. And then

1328
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: it was a It wasn't a corporation, was a franchise,

1329
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: so they could make their own decisions to fire me

1330
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: because I was in there to run the store, and

1331
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: because my assistant didn't show up, it was my responsibility.

1332
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: So I lost my job and had a stuff from

1333
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I was doing really good at that point.

1334
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: I was making my twenty thousand a year. That's good

1335
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:06,000

01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: start all the way from the bottom up and you know,

1339
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and start all over. How did that? How did the bullying?

01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: mean it just made me. That was my first bullying

1347
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: experience in America, right, like Dan, these people was so mean, right,

1348
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: sobody just came and suck a punch, no reason, that's

1349
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: all of that. I felt that when Chris Wrog got

1350
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: smacked all that kids just it's just a bad feeling.

1351
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: I hate bullies, right, I hate anybody that bully anybody's

1352
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: that's my uh, you know what I'm saying. So the

1353
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: reason why I mentioned that whole thing was because I

1354
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: was trying to get to high. I end up in

1355
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: a movie Lean on me because I was a smart kid,

1356
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: and I remember that happening to me because I was smart.

1357
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Right when you first started, you wanted she can used

1358
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 1: on stage booting. Yes, Why I think when anything you do,

1359
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: any job, it takes about three years to know exactly

1360
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: where you want to go hide. If you're in the NFL,

1361
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: three years into the NFL, you should be good, right,

1362
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: you should know exactly what type of player you are.

1363
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: You're not going on the first year of second year.

1364
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 1: That's it's something about three years, right. So it was

1365
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: three years into my comedy. Prior to me going barefooted

1366
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: with a dashiki, I dressed regular, you know. And I'll

1367
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: talk regular because I didn't use a lot of energy

1368
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: when I when I go on stage there, I use

1369
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: a lot of engines. Yea, so aways when I use energy,

1370
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: my excent just comes out. Yes, tell me to the

1371
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: you know. But I was more calm, you know. My

1372
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: jokes was real different. When I started. My jokes are

1373
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: like I was real skinning. I was like half this.

1374
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: I'll go on stage and be like, what you mean

1375
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: you only wear a hart of power right now? So

1376
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 1: you fifty power? I was fifty eight. Don't wear my

1377
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: eight pounds but a second. But I remember I go

1378
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: on stage. I was so skinny. I'll go on stage

1379
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: and be like, slim fast really works. And I was like, Uh.

1380
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: When I first came to America, all my friends try

1381
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to make me feel at home, so they didn't feed

1382
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: me for a month. It was like real calm jokes, right,

1383
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: and I would just so I'm three years into comedy.

1384
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: I was on stage some hood place in Philly called

1385
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Morgans in like Germantown part of Philadelphia, and at my

1386
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: mom on stage and I made front of like a

1387
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: family member, like my uncle or something, and I talked

1388
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: with the accident. I brought my uncle accent out right,

1389
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: and everything I said in an accident was extra funny.

1390
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: Everything I said in it, And I'm like, damn, they

1391
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: laugh at everything in an accent. Why didn't I just

1392
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: talk like that? Right? So I'm like, well, if I'm

1393
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna talk like this, I gotta put his clothes on

1394
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: right now. I don't even know shoes, and take my shoes.

1395
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: I'n beat the village. And then my career went up,

1396
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: you know. But then you don't gonna then maybe twenty

1397
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: thirteen is kind of like when I killed it, right,

1398
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: So I wore it. I did it. I shiki from

1399
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: like we're talking about like two thousand hmmm, nineteen ninety nine,

1400
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: right ninety nine to like two thousand and tennis, you know,

1401
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:28,560
Speaker 1: and then when social media came out. I made a

1402
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: name for myself, and then I started to be more vulgar.

1403
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I went from like that clean comic to like what's

1404
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: really in me? Right? You know? And when that's when

1405
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I started doing that, I didn't feel right cussing in

1406
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: my African guard. Right. It was too royal, it's too respectful, right,

1407
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna take this off and I'm gonna

1408
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: beat myself. Right, And that's why I'm like this naw

1409
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Ti big time entertainment king of the trap. Uh. We

1410
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: know what he is on that side of the entertainment.

1411
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: Recently he decided to go embark upon your side of

1412
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the entertainment. Yeah, got booed. I don't know if t

1413
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: I had never been booed before when you had the

1414
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,759
Speaker 1: success that he's had, probably didn't get booed. What advice

1415
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: I think I saw you? I didn't life when right

1416
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: that since it happened in a life Yeah yeah yeah,

1417
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: and talked about it. What what advice? What advice would

1418
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: you give him? Because me, I'm a type of guy.

1419
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: If I ain't good at something, I ain't gonna be

1420
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: able to do it. I got can't. I can't do well.

1421
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I know with comedy. The grittis have been booed. You

1422
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: ain't make it, So you've been booed. Everybody has been boomed.

1423
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You hadn't made it in something

1424
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: else and been successful at that. Most comedians ain't been

1425
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 1: successful at something else. Yeah, it's easy to get booed

1426
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: when you've never had the level of success that he's enjoyed. Yeah,

1427
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: but he's in he's going through a whole different type

1428
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: of gig, you know, in the wrong city. Booed in

1429
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: the comedy club side the same as booing on the

1430
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: football field boom you fuck, Yeah, it sounds the same. Well,

1431
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: New York is a rough place, yeah, you know. And

1432
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the thing about it is he needed that to realize that,

1433
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a joke that you're doing

1434
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 1: it yet, you know. So he learned from it, and honestly,

1435
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: since then he's been you know, he got better, you know.

1436
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: But he think he's been so successful in what he does,

1437
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: you know. So he's very cocky about it, right, you know,

1438
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: and honest and I see that because the most commedians

1439
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: don't wait out late to get started, though none of

1440
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the don't. But even if the dude you know, we

1441
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: you go through a process, but it's different now nowadays.

1442
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, you could just start doing skits. Let's go

1443
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 1: through the new comics. Now you can start doing skits

1444
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, you're end up being a comedian.

1445
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: People that are successful in that, like DC Young fly right,

1446
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: he was a guy that just started off roasting people

1447
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: and now he's a hell of a comedian, right yeah,

1448
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: you know, proud of him. Love this kid. And I

1449
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: remember when he started seven years ago. You know, he

1450
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: was on there making fun of everybody and then he

1451
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: made him roasted each other. And like now he's on

1452
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: tour with me. He's on the tour, right, and he's

1453
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: helping selling tickets. He's the biggest, probably the one the

1454
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: biggest influence on the tour because he's has eleven million followers,

1455
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: right Ti. He's a superstar and you know, and so

1456
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the respect, right you know, he rather

1457
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: respect as a star, you know, but he can't take

1458
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: advantage of it. You gotta still understand he's trying to

1459
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: do comedy here, right. You know. My biggest advice to

1460
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: him was, like, you know, startup hosting a show. When

1461
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: your host there's no pressure, right, you know, you go

1462
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: up there, crack a couple of jokes, bring on the

1463
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: next comedian, right. But he know, he just so he

1464
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: wants to he's ready to headline, right, And so he

1465
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: has to learn, you know, he has to learn the hardware.

1466
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: And I think that Boeing humbled him, yes, and brought

1467
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: him to reality. And he had to go back there

1468
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: drawing board. And then following day he was in Atlanta

1469
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: performing and he did well. What do you like most

1470
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: about Tory? I mean, I guess making money. That's it's

1471
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: a job. Now, don't get I enjoyed a hundred percent.

1472
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: Enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh. I mean, and

1473
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I've been doing this twenty seven years. I performed last

1474
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: night in Long Beach and it's like, you know, it's

1475
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: just a great feeling getting on stage and making people laugh.

1476
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like a doctor. I'm a therapist.

1477
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: You know you're feeling bad, You come out to a

1478
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: comedy club you haven't seen. It will make you feel better,

1479
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: make you forget about your problems till you get home.

1499
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,880

01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: came close to one time, but I didn't go through

1526
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: with it for some reason. I've been pretty good with,

1527
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with money, right. And don't get wrong,

1528
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: I never want to college. It's just that just from

1529
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: being a kid and Penny Pitch and everything and giving

01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: your mouth rushmore comedians. Uh. You know at one point

1539
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I had, you know, to me, Eddie Murphy will stop

1540
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: God till today you could watch Raw and watch Delirious

1541
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: still relevant? Yes, and that thing is thirty five forty

1542
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: years old. Yes, I got pulled Eddie at one. And

1543
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I know Richard Pryor, you know a lot of people

1544
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: feel like it's Richard Pryor. But I came to America

1545
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: doing to Eddie Eddie Murphy era. You know. So when

1546
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: I got here, I think Richard was pretty much he

1547
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: was more like just doing movies at the time, you know.

1548
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: So I had to go back to to you know,

1549
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: thirty him. You know, so I gotta pull, you know,

1550
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: and then I heard by some other personal things that

1551
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: he did a kind of like told me off a

1552
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: little bit. But I'm not gonna judge him for what

1553
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: he happened in his past. But I gotta pulled Eddie first.

1554
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: I pulled Richard Pryde number two. Then I have to

1555
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: go with current. You know, I've watched specials in the

1556
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: past twenty years, and for me, Chris Rock, every time

1557
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: you put out a special, it was special. Yeah, because

1558
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: Chris Rock took his time. Chris Rock put out special

1559
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: almost every five to eight years, right, you know, because

1560
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: I think a special has to be special, man. You

1561
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: have to put time and effort in to wait. And

1562
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: every special that Chris Rock did was special to me. Okay,

1563
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, so I would put Chris Rock at three,

1564
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta then I gotta go with I

1565
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: gotta go with Dave. We got hell of a list,

1566
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: you know. The thing with Dave you know, Dave started

1567
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: off comedy. They were doing comedy for about fifteen years,

1568
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: and Blackboard didn't know dame right, you know, because he

1569
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: was more on that mainstream yea, with mainstream comic. Yeah,

1570
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: first time I saw the first time I heard of

1571
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle. No, he was in h the Plumps, another

1572
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: professor when he was Reggie, Yes, and then he was

1573
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: in Blue Street with Martins when he started doing black stuff. Yeah,

1574
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: like he was doing comedy tenors before that. I didn't know.

1575
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I know that, I didn't know. I knew I was

1576
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: a contract. I didn't know. No, So, you know, because

1577
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: Dave was able to, like you know, start off as

1578
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: mainstream and was able to capture every audience. Yes, and

1579
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: now he's the top dog. Yes, you know. So I

1580
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: put him there as what we at for four that's it,

1581
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: that's all you get. He's top twelve, top five. No, No,

1582
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: my boy has four faces on it. That's it. Okay,

1583
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: that's it. That's top fourth. Because I was gonna be

1584
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: fit who Michael Blackson. Here's a man had come from

1585
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 1: a whole different continent and man and made a name

1586
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: for himself in comedy. The first man from the whole

1587
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: continent of Africa to be known America as a comedian

1588
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: the first. So I have to give myself credit for that,

1589
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: and I did it. Give credit. I'm not gonna be
