0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>went through hell for many years. I went cry when

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>we won. I'm a thug. I'm not crying. How your thug.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a dog man. I've never I've cried on probably

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>very few occasions, you know what I'm saying. But yet

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I was very excited that day. I was at the

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>game chairing. We went through hell. I was you know,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I moved to Philippe nineteen ninety. You know, so I

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>suffered through the Randall Cunningham era, all the way through McNabb.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean McNabb went through the NFC Championship game five

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 1>years in a row, medical won Super Bowl and then

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>he threw up. So it was great. But nobody, if

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody deserved to win the Super Bowl was a McNabb's team.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel so bad him. Guys didn't get to win

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the nobody deserved him more than them. Westbrook and of

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>course uh Darknds and you know product Jeremy to Owens.

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>That team was so deserving of it. But you know,

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eighteen, we won it for dump.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>That was for them. You were at the event the

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>other night, Tuesday night, in which Dave Chappelle was on stage,

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and I don't call him a fan because fans don't

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>do things like that. When the guy ran on stage

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and tried to tackle Dave Chappe, Hell yeah you would there.

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>What was going through your mind when that happened? As

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>if I'm bolting, I mean it was, it was so shocking.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It was happening so fast, you know, and I personally

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>think this guy's a cloud chasing with a very cloud

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 1>chasing error. I mean, look at the Super Bowl. Somebody

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>always make plans to jump down the Super Bowl face cloud.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not gonna say this had anything will

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Will Smith, you know, I mean making people comfortable enough

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.559
<v Speaker 1>to smack comedians. I mean we have to be signed

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>to like death World Records now, so we have to protected.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>But it was very shocking. Happened really fast. You know,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>first I thought it was some kind of a joke,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>but then we realized it was real, you know. And

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that guy planned this because you know, Dave

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>was done his set, right, you know, he's done his set,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>so now there's not much attention on him, right, He's

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>about to introduce somebody else and boomed this guy. Everybody's

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>relaxed there. So that was the third show that he

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>was doing. I think that guy was there Show one

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 1>and show too, timed everything right when he was going

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to do this thing. That's where I feared the way

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>he did it. And when he did it. It was

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a timing type of thing because I'm sure with the

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen thousand c venue, it should be security watching this guy,

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>watching who's coming on ste So they fell asleep for

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>one second and this guy you mentioned that you don't

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>believe it had anything to do with the Will Smith

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rock incident. When that incident has happened. I don't

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>know if you're seeing it, Liuda, but you saw the replay,

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.239
<v Speaker 1>did you think, like, man, that might be a skit

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>or did you know that was man? This man actually

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>slapped the airdshot of Chris Rock. Yeah. When I saw it,

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, at first I thought it was some kind

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>of a a skit. Yeah. And then when when when

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Will Smith sat there instead of custom, I'm like, oh no,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>he's not cussing the oscars right as a skit? Right?

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>You know? Yeah, that that bothered me a lot. I

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>lost out of respect. So what what? But what bothered

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you the most? That he actually did it or the

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>not apologizing immediately after or the continued He actually did it,

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>my goodness, actually did on the biggest stage, the biggest

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>night of his life. You know, first of all, this

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>award is being produced by Wild Packer, a black man. Correct,

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that was signed that you was gonna get this award?

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Simmer At Jackson was receiving an award, right, you know,

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it was like it was just made for your big night,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>stars aligned perfect right, and then and then this happens

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and there were so many other things he

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>could have done right instead of that, like, you know,

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>custom while he was on stay here, one more word

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>about my wife, I'm gonna come fuck you up, right,

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that would have been okay, oh why hit receiving his

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>award go and stay hey? And I appreciate the joke

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>about my wife whatever, right, but going and hitting him,

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, because I felt like when he smacked

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rock, he smacked every comedian, right. I felt like

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I smacked because I go hard in the paint, right,

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and I talk about people, you know, and I don't

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>expect nobody to come on stage to hit me, right,

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>because I made a joke just at the end of

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>this his words did It's hard to say because I

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you would. We're going to talk about

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>your situation because you recently got engaged. But did you

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>think the joke rolls to the level that would warrant

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that kind of reaction? Not at all. That's why I

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>stopped back, and I started thinking about it. I'm like, okay,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>let me see what he was thinking to go and

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>punch him, all right. The joke was about g I

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Jane Or played the character so Now I'm gonna go

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>back to twenty sixteen when he when he when they

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>dried to boycott the Oscars, right, all right, yeah, he said, Okay,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not coming. There's not enough inclusiveness, there's not enough diversity. No. No.

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>He also Chris said on the Willa Will was the

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>one that boy caught it. Okay, it wasn't him and

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Jada No Will said he wasn't coming. Then Jada said

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't coming. Okay. That's when Chris Rock said, no

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>one invited Jade, right, he said, he said, it's like

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Rihanna's pennies, right, he's running invited correct, right, Okay, And

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>then we fast forward to this like, you know, Gi me,

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not invited me. You're not a great enough actress, right,

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not big enough to come into the boycott. And

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>then we come to twenty twenty two and he says,

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can't do nothing, but Gi Jane, that's

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the only thing you could do if it was if

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>anything came out, right, Okay, maybe I'm thinking way deep,

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to find a reason why he smacked him, right,

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing I could think of, Like, Okay,

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>this guy's been starting to my wife for years. He's

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>telling my wife he can't be nothing. She would never

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>do a movie unless Gi Jane comes out right. That's

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the only reason I would think why he would have

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>he will make him go and hit up. I guess

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>he did. It didn't dawn in on him right away

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>because he laughed at first. That the part he's laughing

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>at the joke. He looks at her, she's not laughing,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and then he feels he has to defend her honor,

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that he needs to go up there and do something

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>because he made a joke. But Mike, your girl knows you.

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>She knows what will sit you off, she knows what

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that will make you upset. Jada got to stop that. Yeah,

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>my girl would have stopped it. Yeah, and my money,

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>my girl would have stopped it. I had an X.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>My X was the type that we cost me how

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to get our ass. That's why, right, you know, that's

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't we can't have one one like that. And

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like you know, we go out and she argue with

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>big niggas bigger than me. Yeah, I'm not thirty, I'm

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight, one thirty a crackhead compared to this guy. Right,

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, And that's what so I mean, my woman

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 1>would have stopped my current woman would have stopped me

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>from going right, knowing that, bro, this is this is

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>not the time, this is not the place night for you,

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>right right, So this was a nice ideal for you,

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and and it's fun. It's sad that he won the oscar,

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>but his actions overshadowed this moment and then forever, forever,

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>that's this is what those oscars will be known as

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the Will Smith Chris Rock Obscar. And I think if

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>he would apologize to Chris at that moment, it might

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 1>have been a little bit better. When you can't, you

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>can't apologize to the bro. You slap the man, but

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't apologize to him. But hold on, this is

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>your brother. He from Philly, You from Philly. He's light skinned.

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 1>You don't count life here, brother, drowskin. Brother, have to

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>stick together. I'm riding with Chris and I'm a comedians

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>my job. We have the same job. I go hard

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and paint on social media on people. I talk about people,

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>so I feel, you know, and I don't think give

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>anybody no right to come and hit me. Have that

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>changed the way you do your show? Nah, I can't

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>change because of that, you know. I mean, I would

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>love to get a Will Smith will slap me because

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll suit for a lot of money. Let me tell

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you he would be so broke. Will Smith would have

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to move back with his uncle Auntie and he's gonna

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>be he gonna go back to Uncle Phil's house, live

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it right next door to Carton. Let's just say for

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the sake of argument, Michael Blackston, he's hosting the Oscars.

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.079
<v Speaker 1>It's a big time thing. There's not been bary men

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of us that's got an opportunity to host the Oscars.

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>And you up there, you tell a joke. You know,

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys are to lighten the mood. Okay, this is

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood brightest, best and brightest, and you got to bring

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>them down a little bit because everybody and they talk,

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody, and they got bowl guys. I got

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>all on y'all, not all of that. So I crack

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>off a joke. You crack off a joke. Somebody walks

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>up there, how's Michael Blackston handled that situation? Well, after

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>watching what happened, then we know anything is possible. Yeah,

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm running now if it's something ain't know because I mean,

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris right handled it. It's like such a prop Yeah yeah,

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people might not have had like that.

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So much short is so grun because they could have

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>been a disaster. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know, it could

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>have been a real bad if I'm hosting. That's the

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>shortest Oscars ever. But they also said, hey, he's his

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>ticket price went from eight eighty bucks to four hundred dollars.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, I'm going to the next I to

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.680

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, But maybe he needed to be an example,

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>like don't you can't be coming on stage to attacking

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 1>anybody for no reason. And it's not like he It's

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>not like Davis did a joke and the joke offended

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.800

<v Speaker 1>whole life, I've been my my I've been bullied my

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>whole life. As you know, I came from another country

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 1>right into America at thirteen years old. Did you speak English? Yeah,

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I came from an English speaking country, Okay, came here

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>thirteen years or as a kid, and I came like

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>we talked about, like late eighties where it wasn't in

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>my being dog skin, it was you know, and I

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>had an accent. Kids made fun of me every day,

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. And then when I was when I when

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I finally got comfortable myself. We took many years, you know,

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of learning what it takes to fit in right. I

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>mean a lot of things I didn't know about myself

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to I came to America. America was like that apple

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that that God said, don't eat the apple. Right, America

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is like the yah, y'all hit all that damn apple.

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>And now y'all see things. Yeah, y'all see things. Y'all

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be saying all talking about. Like I said, I

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>had no idea I was dark skinned. I came here, Yeah,

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>not like I was in my village and I was

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>red bone or nothing. Right. But the kids let me

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>know this. I remember hanging out with some kids. It

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>said you black. I said, of course, we're all black.

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>They said, no, you black as hell. I mean. They

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>taught me, I look like under the bed that's dark

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>as hell if you look under the bed lately. They

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>taught me, I look like I have no bright ideas.

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>They said, the difference between me and midnight is eleven

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine. You that dark, they said, when God said

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>let there be light, I was out of town. They

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>taught me, Stevie, one that sees me every day, that's

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>dark as hell. Stevie, don't see your damn thing. So

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>when they is that why you became a comedian to

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>get them up off you? Yes? So what I learned

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>is I took everything that said about me and I

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>flipped it around and accepted it and make Now I

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>make fun of myself, right, and then now I make

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>fun of everybody. So now if I can make for myself,

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care a boy anybody else. So I'm just,

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, just giving back what I've been giving my

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>whole life. I'm like, yeah, I became a hater. I

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 1>broast everybody. Anything that happens, I'm on top of it.

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I follow you on social media and I saw where

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you recently got engaged. Yes, but you love women? Might

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I love women? And I established that from the beginning

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>of this relationship. I realized after my last relationship I

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.360
<v Speaker 1>did that beautiful woman for four years and my whole life,

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I've never been faithful any of my excess watching years.

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I cheat on all of you. And I lied, man.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I lied so much. Man, I don't even know what

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the truth is. I cheat on it everyone when I

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>was with and when I realized that after my last relationship,

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>when she left me because you know, she got telled

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>me cheating, then I realized myself, I can't be faithful.

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 1>So I said, if anybody coming around, I'm like, listen,

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm done with a relationship. I'm gonna tell you

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>right now, I cannot be. I'm not a show. It's

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>in my blood. You know. My mother told me my

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>dad was an alcoholic and he had a lot of women.

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not alcoholic. I'm not a drinker, but I mean

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>I I like a lot of women. So we, as

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>my lady, came in agreement. You know, originally we had

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 1>agreement on like once a month, I could do whatever

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I want, right, whatever I wanted. And you know, it's

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 1>something and I realized that, you know, it's something you

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>could establish in the beginning of a relationship. Every man,

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that's our biggest problem, infidelity, right, and we have to

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>we could we in an era where we would actually

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 1>get an agreement made. But everybody said that. Everybody's like, well,

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, tell me what you want, give me the

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to make a choice. Yes, but most of us

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.919
<v Speaker 1>are afraid of the choice that she will make that

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>won't include us. You weren't afraid of that, Yeah, because

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we rich brook niggas can't do this. Brookman got no choice.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>He can't be afforded. Woman's well, how you gonna cheat

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>with somebody else? I have a lot of young athletes

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty two years or twenty three years old, and I

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>meet him, I said, listen, get this established from the

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>beginning of a a relationship. You know you're making ten twenty

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 1>min dollars a year. You line on ten women and

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>tell him head, you know you be my one month.

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 1>But once in a while, I like to do what

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to do. Eighty percent would accept it, if

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.439
<v Speaker 1>not all of them, right, you know, at the end

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of the day, a woman would take her bills being

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 1>paid from a rich man, a cheese and a brook man.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 1>And don't don't you just want don't you just want

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 1>to like you know what? Honey, I'm home just damn baby,

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I missed you. How is your day? Baby? Yes, I

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.560

<v Speaker 1>Friday and saddy bench as I'm home. Yeah, I mean serious,

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.080

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I got inside chick coming tonight. She knows that you

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 1>don't feel bad, you don't feel guilty. I understand being honest.

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I understand that you you you're honest. You told him

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>say this is what it is, but a party like

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>with damn but hold on, how would you feel if

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>she said, looks, okay, Mike, we gonna do this, but

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know an oh wow, what do you mean? Nah?

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Women are so much more emotional. Man. We could bang

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>ten women and not have feelings. Women are different. Women

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>are emotional. They cannot do what if she just had

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>what if she just had one? She don't want chang?

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 1>She just want one? Nah? She because she couldn't. She

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 1>could have to if she might have to decide between Hugh,

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>because she might be emotionally attached and she's gonna be Okay. No,

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not agreement. The agreement is not for you to

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>have someone you want this agreement. This is what I

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>came with. Right if you want that, if you want

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to do the same thing that we would just be friends.

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't be pulling a ring on your finger. Why

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody else is banning you over looking at my rings?

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Wrong with you looking at my tattoos? And bring your

0:20:53.520 --> 0:21:00.399
<v Speaker 1>back while he tearing you up on? So did you

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>try to be faithful when you first met her? Like? Oh, oh, no,

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.840

<v Speaker 1>think the next day six is played Miami, so IM

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>going to the game. After the game, Miami kicked the

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.360
<v Speaker 1>might hate, who's this chick. I'm like, I don't worry.

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.320

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>he knew that was my lady, right, so I'm not

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>going back to the hotel. She's like, Mike, I think

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy was in my DM. I'm like, I said,

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>he's seen me with a whole lot of chicks. He didn't,

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. He probably just throw you

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 1>one on my side, chicks whatever he was. Fast forward

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>like months later, this guy's still trying to holler at her. Right.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>That's when when she took me know, and this is

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, I'm not sure what was the situation. I

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>think the Jenda girl was done then and then he

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>tried he said, he tried to holler at me, you know,

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and then and then he tried to use like he

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>knew she was a rod estate agent, right, so try

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to act like he's trying to buy just to like

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>for her to come. And then you know, he he's like,

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>isn't trying to holler at me? Isn't Mike your home?

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>He said, well, we're not friends like that. And that's

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>when I was, you know, I was pretty much done

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:34.280

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 1>worked so hard to get here, you know, and to

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>have and be heard, you know, and I I don't

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>know what happened. Why this guy was playing with about

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty what almost thirty twenty that point we're like four

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.119
<v Speaker 1>minutes ago. O god, I guess it went. They win

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to seal that game, right, They wanted to get it

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:57.760

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't stop a show. I still expect everybody to

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.239
<v Speaker 1>step up and play. But we're not. We're got our

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:08.600

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot, you know, but we're stepping with Expect

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:36.119

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I had with him but was the whole thing he

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.520

<v Speaker 1>I prayed much, Mike. Make fun of everything that happens.

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what I do. Yeah, you know. It goes back

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to like when I first got on YouTube and social media.

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It was like twenty eleven. I had a show called

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Black Friday. I sat on my couch just like you

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and made fun of everybody that messed up that week. Right,

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what I did. If you did something I would

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that lit you up. You know what I'm saying, and

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it was a situation was when he got caught. In fact,

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I made fun of him snitching on himself because you know,

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess he had a feeling something about to come

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:37.160
<v Speaker 1>out about him having an affair, right, and then he

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 1>got on on on social media, you know, and then

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>where he was trying to explain himself prior to the

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>news coming out. Right, it's what I made fun of it.

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make fun of him cheating. I cheat all

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the time. I'm you know what I'm saying, So I

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can't make fun of cheating. But age is the way

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>he did it me being a comedian. But you can't cheat.

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't make put of the homie. That

0:33:57.880 --> 0:33:59.920

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, oh yeah, you just let that one go.

0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 1>And then they're gonna be like Mike, you can't be

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>picking and choosing. Yes, you can't enough. Oh yeah, you

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 1>You know why, because this is what happened. I'm mother time.

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Meek was going through the thing with Drake. Yeah right,

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:50.040

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't clown him the way people were clowning him. Right,

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 1>my thing. If I'm gonna make a joke by somebody,

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I make sure that person right, you know what I'm saying.

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm I made a joke. But it wasn't nothing

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in a harsh way, right, you know. So I remember

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it was it was not a great time in his

0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:17.080
<v Speaker 1>life because you know that whole thing with the song

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>that he made and the one Drake made. Whatever. So

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember going to a Christmas benefit, right, we Philly,

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, they took a picture. Meek was there.

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I was there. We took a picture, you know, And

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>then I remember getting a car was driving and my

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't touching the whole Drake thing, right, because that's

<v Speaker 1>like career type of thing, right, you know, I don't

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:06.160

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the right choice to do is still you know, cancel

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a regular show for a television show, right, you know,

0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I cancel the show with the guys. You know. Well, no,

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't send a deposit back because I was replacing

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 1>myself with two other guys. I get two for the

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:51.840
<v Speaker 1>price of one. Yeah, no, no, no, no, that that

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't agreement. They didn't They didn't send They didn't send

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>you the deposit for you to send two other guys.

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>They said the deposit for you. But they got they had.

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 1>It was the point where they pretty much had choices.

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.320
<v Speaker 1>The show is in I gonna week, you know, and

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought I'd send them to good caliber comedians, you know.

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.040
<v Speaker 1>And the deposit really goes towards you know, it's it's

0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 1>usually have the money so sometimes to go to travel

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the hotel, and then it orders himself so pretty much,

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, most of the deposit was gonna go through

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:22.840
<v Speaker 1>whever I was replacing myself with. Right, they agreed to it,

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:25.719
<v Speaker 1>and then when they realized that it, their audience got

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>upset after the show because they didn't get Michael Blackston.

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's when they decided to suit right. So when

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:32.799
<v Speaker 1>you have a last suit, what a lot of time?

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.879
<v Speaker 1>You know? Uh a court TV show with contact because

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 1>they'll get ahold of those paper they'll get a hold

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of those things from the courts, right, and they'll ask

0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you here you'd rather bring this head will fly you in,

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and make sure you're good. And so I decided,

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'd rather go to TV court than

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere Indiana, right, And I ain't want a problem

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.879
<v Speaker 1>with any right, so I chose television. Did you win?

0:40:55.920 --> 0:41:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeh ain't wait? Yeah, but you thought you were You

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 1>thought you were going. I mean, I, hey, my thing.

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought he accepted what I gave him. You know,

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 1>he had no choice backwards against the wall. He had

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 1>no choice but to accepted. But he got his money. Man,

0:41:11.960 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>he got him a new suit. Hold on, I lost

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the case. It's a long time ago. Give me one

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 1>word to describe Philly. Oh God, I you know what.

0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:28.440

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>moving back to Philly. I got a house in Delaware,

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 1>which just like suburb of Philly tax purposes, you're gonna

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.759
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be smart with your money. Yeah, but yeah,

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>got a home there, and I go home at least

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.320
<v Speaker 1>once a month. But I mean, we come to Hollywood

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 1>because to get to the next level, right, you know,

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna happen there. I means to make a

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 1>move here, Kevin Hard everybody moved because you right here.

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Everything that you need to do, it's right here. Bet Philly.

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 1>How can I describe Philly? Man passionate, The fans are passionate.

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:11.320
<v Speaker 1>If people are passionate, it's a great city. You know,

0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Philly changed my life, you know, if you know I

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 1>was actual, say my first stomping ground was Newark, New Jersey.

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Nork was rough, you know, And now's where I got

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>rose to the most. It's where I you know, by

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the time I got the Philly, I re knew what

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:28.319
<v Speaker 1>it took to fit in right. So when I got

0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the Philly, it was a little bit more easier. But

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:31.760
<v Speaker 1>my mother was able to get a job in Philly.

0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get a job in fifteen years old.

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Things were a little bit easier in Philly. Than it

0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was in Jersey. Right, So when I got to Philly,

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt more at home, right, you know, So Philly,

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I have nothing but love for Philadelphia for the rest

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of my life. Growing up. You're from Ghana, if I'm

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken, right, Ghana Liberia. You know those are my

0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>two countries. Okay, And I see you go home, you

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:57.319
<v Speaker 1>go home a lot, can't. Yeah. I fell in love

0:42:57.360 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 1>with Ghana all over again. Man. You know, I mean,

0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>what probably did it? You know, we're all especially with

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing that went down with Joy Floor and

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff that went Now, it made me felt like,

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, maybe Africa is where we

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>really It's where I need to put my concentration on

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 1>because at one point I felt like, you know, was

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 1>America really for black people? Right? I felt that way

0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>at one time. You know. Baby. It was emotional where

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:21.439
<v Speaker 1>everything that was going on, you know, and I sat

0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and I thought about everything, you know, and I was like,

0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, let me get a home at home just

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in case I need to run away. So I got

0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a home there. I go home every other month. But

0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing I'm doing at home is I'm

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:36.239
<v Speaker 1>building a school. Did you know that. No, I did

0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:38.439
<v Speaker 1>not know that, even though I'm fine all the fucked

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 1>up ship and you can't find what I did. Oh hello,

0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you got a home in Delaware. You got a home

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and fairly got a home at Ghana. I'm about to

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>start telling jokes. I better get telling be some jokes, y'all.

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got but one home. You got three, so

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.759
<v Speaker 1>you hate it. I'm building a school in Ghana. Did

0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you know that I'm giving back? I'm build a school

0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in the village. Now, one thing about Ghana. On most

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of Africa, you know, we have like government schools, which

0:44:07.520 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>just consider public schools, and I have private schools. Right,

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:11.840
<v Speaker 1>government schools are they? One's supposed to be free, But

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it's still got a few experenses here we need. You know,

0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 1>those fill up fast or they'll overcrowded with kids. And

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 1>then if you don't get any time and you can't

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:22.520
<v Speaker 1>afford to go to school, gets what happened? You don't

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:24.680
<v Speaker 1>go to school? Right? You just hang around the marketplace,

0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>help your mother whatever. So I said to myself, you

0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna school. I'm gonna I'm gonna get a

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 1>private school and let all the kids get a scholarship.

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>How many? How many? How many students will be allowed

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to go to your school? Two hundred? I'm looking at it.

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be equivalent to like first to ninth grade.

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>They recently made ten to eleven twelfth grade free. Okay,

0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not Let me go to the one that's

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:49.440
<v Speaker 1>not free, right, which is first to ninth and let

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>me twenty five kids per class, right, and then let

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>them all get a scholarship. You know where I'll be.

0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll be pretty much paying for this out of my pocket.

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I was amazing. Yeah, you'll be blessed with that. Did

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:01.239
<v Speaker 1>you did you? Did you always want to do that?

0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 1>What made you decide to say, you know what, I

0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>want to build to school? This is why I did it.

0:45:05.520 --> 0:45:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So when I came to the States, I didn't get

0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:11.959
<v Speaker 1>to go back to Africa until about me fifteen years later. Wow,

0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I went fifteen years when I was seeing my brothers

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and sisters, okay, you know, because we could. It was

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:19.759
<v Speaker 1>people don't understand you know this, This thing is easy, right,

0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>especially coming from a black continent to come to America

0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>is the hardest person to get a visa too. Yeah,

0:45:26.680 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm at one point I finally made some money after

0:45:28.880 --> 0:45:30.920
<v Speaker 1>doing Next Friday. I bought all my brothers and them

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 1>plane tickets to come to America, and they went to

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 1>go get a visa and they got denied. You get

0:45:36.200 --> 0:45:39.640
<v Speaker 1>denied ninety percent of the time Jamaicans get you know,

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>any when you come in from a black country, right,

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 1>your parents don't need visa to come here, right. You know,

0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.279
<v Speaker 1>when you come in from a black country, you have

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to prove that you're gonna take your ass to help back.

0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:51.920
<v Speaker 1>They have to know that you're gonna go back. So

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.360
<v Speaker 1>how I didn't know that. You gotta, like, if you're married,

0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:56.040
<v Speaker 1>your wife gotta be there, you gotta have kids, and

0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to you have to show you have money

0:45:57.600 --> 0:45:59.839
<v Speaker 1>in that bank. You have a reason to go back, right,

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. But you can improve all of those you

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:04.600
<v Speaker 1>get denied. So it took me fifteen years to go back,

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.359
<v Speaker 1>because of course I had stuff from nothing. I had

0:46:07.400 --> 0:46:09.120
<v Speaker 1>no money I had. You know, Once I was able

0:46:09.200 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to make some money, I said, let me go and

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>see my people, right, So I went back, and then

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that had to be a big change. Fifteen years. People change,

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:19.759
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of there's a lot of change in

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen days. There's a lot of change in fifteen years.

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 1>At that moment, where I went to in my you know,

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:29.239
<v Speaker 1>my little town or or close. It's a town. It's

0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:32.080
<v Speaker 1>not quite the village, right, it's close. It's little village enough.

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And I remember being at this place as a as

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.279
<v Speaker 1>a little kid, you know, when I was like three

0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:39.319
<v Speaker 1>years old. I remember being there. I'm three years old,

0:46:40.040 --> 0:46:42.839
<v Speaker 1>and when I went back, I actually went back there

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:45.759
<v Speaker 1>eight years old again. But I went back twenty fifteen

0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 1>years later and looked the same to me. You know,

0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:52.320
<v Speaker 1>then I'm not going through the marketplace to buy stuff,

0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I see kids in the marketplace during

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:58.839

0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:01.320
<v Speaker 1>out in school? Right then I found out that the

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:04.080
<v Speaker 1>government schools fills up. They can't afford to go to school,

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:07.279
<v Speaker 1>so they're just out here helping their mothers self free

0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:10.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they're So I'm like, okay, So I went

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to the the nearest school, the local school. At that time,

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:15.879
<v Speaker 1>this is a this is a year two thousand and one.

0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't movie next Friday, right, So I went

0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to the local school. I'm like, you know what it

0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:23.520
<v Speaker 1>costs to go to school? And I found out it

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 1>was at that time it was my eighty dollars a

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 1>year for a kid to go to school. I'm like,

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:30.000
<v Speaker 1>we spent that shit at the bar, right, you know?

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 1>So my mother going back and like grabbing like four

0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:34.960

<v Speaker 1>the family. I got kid got a daughter in man school,

0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 1>so she wasn't smart enough to get a free scholarship.

0:55:36.440 --> 0:55:41.360
<v Speaker 1>What happened? Man? She got Now you didn't get no scholarship? Yeah, me,

0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a scholarship scholarship. That's messed up, man. So

0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:47.160
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you a question. What was your perception

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of America before you got to America? Man? I thought, y'all,

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:52.680
<v Speaker 1>y'all wash your hands with soda and wipe y'all ass

0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 1>with money. I came in. That's some bullshit. Man, We

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:03.320
<v Speaker 1>worked just to p bills. Yeah, that's what most American

0:56:03.400 --> 0:56:07.040
<v Speaker 1>families do. My goodness, I'm like my family back home thinking,

0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're here turning up is the man? I mean,

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.520
<v Speaker 1>it's different now, right, you know? But like when we

0:56:12.719 --> 0:56:15.440
<v Speaker 1>my mother worked at McDonald's. Right, we came in, We

0:56:15.760 --> 0:56:17.719
<v Speaker 1>ate all the left of the food she brought over.

0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But that was good. I get a light McDonald I

0:56:21.040 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 1>get a light McDonald's thirty six days in the row.

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want I don't want to see another Burger

0:56:24.800 --> 0:56:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in my life again. I hate the Big Mac thirty

0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:34.240
<v Speaker 1>six days in the row. The transition Africa, you like, okay,

0:56:34.560 --> 0:56:37.759
<v Speaker 1>got this culture, It's totally different. It's not like you

0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>moved from one African country to another one. You moved

0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to a whole different card, a whole different way of life,

0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a whole different way of thinking. I landed in New Jersey,

0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and I landed in New York and play Land and

0:56:49.000 --> 0:56:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Care and then my mother's going to New York.

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.279
<v Speaker 1>My mother is an evangelist, so she traveled the word,

0:56:53.360 --> 0:56:56.280
<v Speaker 1>preaching the gospel. That's how she met friends in America.

0:56:56.680 --> 0:56:59.239
<v Speaker 1>And that's how I was it with what happened to you? Man,

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you know what happened. Preach your kids work, preach your

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:07.000
<v Speaker 1>kids are the double. But that's how we ended up here.

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, the gospel brought us here, and comedy is

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:17.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna get us out. But I landed early April. It

0:57:17.880 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was by thirty degrees. Yes, I went from heat to

0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:25.120
<v Speaker 1>like a refrigerator freezer. I'm like, what is good? I

0:57:25.280 --> 0:57:27.800
<v Speaker 1>hit my first week in America. I was ready to

0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:29.840
<v Speaker 1>go back home. Doesn't get cold in Africa? How cold

0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:35.040
<v Speaker 1>are you getting? No? Like spring is ninety degrees, winter

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:42.280
<v Speaker 1>is eighty five, summertime is hell? Noah, we know we

0:57:42.440 --> 0:57:45.320
<v Speaker 1>have rainy season, at least in West Africa. South Africa.

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:48.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it might snow, it might get cold, but

0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:50.720
<v Speaker 1>where I'm from, it is like rainy and dry season.

0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:53.600
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be rainy or it's gonna be dry. So

0:57:53.720 --> 0:57:56.160
<v Speaker 1>when it rains, you know, the temperature might go down

0:57:56.280 --> 0:58:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to eighty three. That's how winter. Explaining when did you

0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:03.200
<v Speaker 1>want to get into fashion? When did you want to

0:58:03.200 --> 0:58:06.680
<v Speaker 1>do clothes? So you know what I'm I'm I'm I'm

0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:08.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. I'm gonna be Michael Blacks And this is

0:58:08.720 --> 0:58:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this is who I am. It started from when I

0:58:10.840 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 1>came to America. So when I came here, mind you,

0:58:13.760 --> 0:58:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I left Africa. I left also like coming to America,

0:58:17.120 --> 0:58:21.720

0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:28.320
<v Speaker 1>coming to America, right all right? So with me when

0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid in Africa, I remember is girls

0:58:32.640 --> 0:58:35.040
<v Speaker 1>like guys were new clothes. Right now we got a

0:58:35.080 --> 0:58:36.880
<v Speaker 1>brand new clothes. That's how you get the girls right,

0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I remember it wasn't we didn't care

0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 1>about braindst have changed now, right back then there was

0:58:42.600 --> 0:58:44.280

0:58:55.920 --> 0:58:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it was the same thing. So mind you. My mother

0:58:58.240 --> 0:59:00.400
<v Speaker 1>worked at McDonald and she made fifty dollars a week,

0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:03.840

1:00:06.160 --> 1:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>started laughing, I'm like, what are you laughing at? They said,

1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>what the hell you got on? I said, what you mean?

1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Would I have on? This is brand new, it's never

1:00:12.240 --> 1:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>been worn. Man. They lit my ass up. I was

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>roasted for two years. We can't afford a night, kid,

1:00:21.280 --> 1:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to like, they want thirty dollars for them things, right,

1:00:25.000 --> 1:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. And two years later I was able to

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>get a job as a kid selling Kenny's door to door.

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I learned this one guy who used to like I

1:00:34.920 --> 1:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I got hooked up with it. Maybe

1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it's somebody from school whatever. And they said, this guy

1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to take us to like rich neighborhoods, rich white neighborhoods,

1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and we go lie to them pretty much, right, you know.

1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>We sell box of candy that you know that's costing

1:00:49.600 --> 1:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe fifty cents a box. We'll go to knock on

1:00:51.640 --> 1:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>these rich people's door. Hey, I'm Michael Blackson for the

1:00:54.160 --> 1:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Mount Cavalry Youth Court. I'm here. Had to start at

1:00:56.880 --> 1:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Mount Calvary. Minds, it's not a church, but this guy

1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was Muslim. Yeah, he was Muslim man taking us to it,

1:01:02.960 --> 1:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and we saying church. Make a long story short. We

1:01:07.440 --> 1:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>sold these candies for three thousand and fifties in the box,

1:01:10.200 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and we made seventy five cents out of every box

1:01:12.640 --> 1:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that we sold. So I started making my seventy five

1:01:15.040 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>dollars a week, and I saved my money. I had

1:01:18.160 --> 1:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to give my half to my mother. That's what one

1:01:19.560 --> 1:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>thing we did in Africa as kids. Oh yeah, you

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>want to help a bill, you can you give half

1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the money to your mom. So I get half to

1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>my mom, saved the other half. And I remember I

1:01:28.160 --> 1:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>went got my first pair of Wrangler jeans. Who Wrangler,

1:01:32.800 --> 1:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>not Lee, not Levi, not Cavalclad. You had the Wrangler.

1:01:37.080 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>So now I went to uh was it tenth grade

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>in Baron Jo High in New York, New Jersey. I

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>mean going into school in tenth grade. Imember my first

1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I had Reboke. I remember my first player of Reboke,

1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and then I had my Wrangler Lee James Lee jeans

1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>and some Natigra shirt. All of a sudden, now people

1:01:56.000 --> 1:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>want to I have friends now nobody's rose to me anymore.

1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So I set on myself. Man, whenever I make money,

1:02:02.680 --> 1:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd be the baddest drafting, be dressed and nine. So

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>is that so when the kids that were roasting you,

1:02:12.960 --> 1:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>did you know you always wanted to be a comedian?

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you know you were always funny? Never I know

1:02:18.960 --> 1:02:21.520

1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>why I came a week later because while I was

1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>in Jersey, I was a smart kid. In fact, one time,

1:02:35.440 --> 1:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember me. I remember my last year and I

1:02:39.280 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>went to a junior high. So the junior high was

1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like seventh, eighth, and ninth grade. We graduated at ninth grade.

1:02:44.400 --> 1:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I mama the ninth grade first semester, I mama getting

1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>aids and bees. And I remember one time I'm getting

1:02:50.680 --> 1:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>on a bus and this school bully found out everybody

1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>had good grades. This guy suck a punch the hell

1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>So the reason why I had good grades, That's why

1:03:22.400 --> 1:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it came to good grades. And I and during that summer,

1:03:25.160 --> 1:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I was in a pre college program, right, so it

1:03:27.960 --> 1:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>was all the smart kids went through like it was

1:03:29.840 --> 1:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>like an n J I T all these different colleges

1:03:31.720 --> 1:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>had smart kids for the summer and we're all invited

1:03:35.360 --> 1:03:37.680

1:03:50.200 --> 1:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm rich. And then so I had to wait a

1:03:53.560 --> 1:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>week because I was doing that movie. And so I

1:03:56.840 --> 1:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>remember coming through Philly, and I remember when the movie

1:03:59.640 --> 1:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>came out out. You know, I was an extra. People

1:04:01.800 --> 1:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>are like recognized its like, was you moving in on me?

1:04:04.840 --> 1:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not, yeah, yes, you know. So it gave me

1:04:08.160 --> 1:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that first stardom thing, you know, but I still wasn't

1:04:11.920 --> 1:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking about comedy. Comedy that's when the TV came here.

1:04:14.960 --> 1:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Like man eyeballs, people see, they recognize, okay, And I

1:04:20.440 --> 1:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>remember my so my last year. I think the comedy

1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>started coming out my last year of eleventh grade, when

1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I was about to go to twelfth grade. So now

1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you're about to go from a junior to a senior.

1:04:28.680 --> 1:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You want to make a name for yourself. When you're

1:04:30.560 --> 1:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a senior, you want everybody to know you. So I

1:04:32.960 --> 1:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>remember the eleventh grade, the last year, we had like

1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a talent show, and I remember the funniest guy in

1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the school didn't end up being a comedian, So we

1:04:42.600 --> 1:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>did this thing called the Senior Hall Show, right, So

1:04:44.840 --> 1:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>he was a senio and I played a guest. I

1:04:46.920 --> 1:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>played Nelson Mandela and I remember being a guest and

1:04:49.880 --> 1:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I started talking like trying to talk like Nelson. That's

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>when the comedies kind of started a little bit. And then,

1:04:55.880 --> 1:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>mind you, I was working at my job in Philly.

1:04:58.800 --> 1:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I worked at Dominant Pizza from like age fifteen, started

1:05:01.680 --> 1:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>off and swinging phones, learned how to deliver pieces on

1:05:04.520 --> 1:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a bike. I end up eventually end up being a

1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>manager at Like. I didn't leave there that I was

1:05:08.840 --> 1:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like twenty two years old. When I got fired, Right,

1:05:10.840 --> 1:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you got fired? How you got fired? I get to that, Okay, nigga.

1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm been working at Dominos and I was at

1:05:19.120 --> 1:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this point I was I'm like twenty one. I was

1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a manager. I was hiring and firing. I remember I

1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:27.360

1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:29.000

1:05:29.040 --> 1:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>did a job for tips every night and make thirty

1:05:30.920 --> 1:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>forty fifty bucks a night. And this guy was an

1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>acting teacher at the Philadelphia Community College. And then he

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>hung around me all the time. You like, Mike, you

1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:40.600

1:05:42.560 --> 1:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>He's like, help you get your first five minutes together.

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>So you know, helped me. He said, we want to

1:05:46.760 --> 1:05:48.720

1:05:48.800 --> 1:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>our first five minutes together. And I started going to

1:05:51.440 --> 1:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>open mic, and uh, this was like summer of ninety three,

1:05:55.880 --> 1:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>ninety four, and it started from there. I started from there.

1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>How did you get fired from Dominos? Well, at that point,

1:06:05.400 --> 1:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I was taking comedy more serious than my job. Okay,

1:06:09.120 --> 1:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was a manager. I remember going to

1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>New York to do this thing called the Uptown Comedy Club. Yep,

1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it was on TV on UPN I did appearance on it,

1:06:20.840 --> 1:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and in mind, my assistant manager didn't show up the work,

1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>so the store didn't open. And that's that happened to

1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>be the same day the general managers decided to show

1:06:30.440 --> 1:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>up a lot of these a lot of these fast

1:06:32.600 --> 1:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>food franchise the big bosses just shows up anytime they want,

1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>just to catch you up guard right, you know. And

1:06:38.600 --> 1:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>they happened to show up the show up this day

1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that nobody's store is not open. Nobody's there. And then

1:06:44.280 --> 1:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a It wasn't a corporation, was a franchise,

1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>so they could make their own decisions to fire me

1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>because I was in there to run the store, and

1:06:51.360 --> 1:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>because my assistant didn't show up, it was my responsibility.

1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So I lost my job and had a stuff from

1:06:57.640 --> 1:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was doing really good at that point.

1:06:59.440 --> 1:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I was making my twenty thousand a year. That's good

1:07:01.600 --> 1:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>money nineteen ninety four, right, you know. So I had

1:07:06.040 --> 1:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>to start all over. My car guy repossess. I had

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to move back home with my mother. I had to

1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>start all the way from the bottom up and you know,

1:07:15.920 --> 1:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and start all over. How did that? How did the bullying?

1:07:19.520 --> 1:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>How did that impact you? Because you say you you're

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>smart because you got good grades. He suck a punch.

1:07:27.280 --> 1:07:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Did it make you go into a shield like I

1:07:29.160 --> 1:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want anyone to know. Let me just do, Let

1:07:32.120 --> 1:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>me just tell joke, keep people laughing. Oh no, that

1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>was way before me in comedy. That was well, I

1:07:37.480 --> 1:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>mean it just made me. That was my first bullying

1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>experience in America, right, like Dan, these people was so mean, right,

1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>sobody just came and suck a punch, no reason, that's

1:07:45.760 --> 1:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>all of that. I felt that when Chris Wrog got

1:07:47.800 --> 1:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>smacked all that kids just it's just a bad feeling.

1:07:50.080 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I hate bullies, right, I hate anybody that bully anybody's

1:07:54.640 --> 1:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that's my uh, you know what I'm saying. So the

1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>reason why I mentioned that whole thing was because I

1:08:01.240 --> 1:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was trying to get to high. I end up in

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a movie Lean on me because I was a smart kid,

1:08:05.760 --> 1:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and I remember that happening to me because I was smart.

1:08:08.320 --> 1:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Right when you first started, you wanted she can used

1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>on stage booting. Yes, Why I think when anything you do,

1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>any job, it takes about three years to know exactly

1:08:22.840 --> 1:08:24.679
<v Speaker 1>where you want to go hide. If you're in the NFL,

1:08:24.840 --> 1:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>three years into the NFL, you should be good, right,

1:08:27.200 --> 1:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you should know exactly what type of player you are.

1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You're not going on the first year of second year.

1:08:31.160 --> 1:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>That's it's something about three years, right. So it was

1:08:33.800 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>three years into my comedy. Prior to me going barefooted

1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>with a dashiki, I dressed regular, you know. And I'll

1:08:42.840 --> 1:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>talk regular because I didn't use a lot of energy

1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>when I when I go on stage there, I use

1:08:47.880 --> 1:08:49.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of engines. Yea, so aways when I use energy,

1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>my excent just comes out. Yes, tell me to the

1:08:53.200 --> 1:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. But I was more calm, you know. My

1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>jokes was real different. When I started. My jokes are

1:08:57.680 --> 1:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>like I was real skinning. I was like half this.

1:09:00.880 --> 1:09:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll go on stage and be like, what you mean

1:09:03.800 --> 1:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you only wear a hart of power right now? So

1:09:05.240 --> 1:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you fifty power? I was fifty eight. Don't wear my

1:09:08.640 --> 1:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>eight pounds but a second. But I remember I go

1:09:10.960 --> 1:09:12.599
<v Speaker 1>on stage. I was so skinny. I'll go on stage

1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and be like, slim fast really works. And I was like, Uh.

1:09:17.360 --> 1:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>When I first came to America, all my friends try

1:09:20.040 --> 1:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to make me feel at home, so they didn't feed

1:09:22.360 --> 1:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>me for a month. It was like real calm jokes, right,

1:09:25.520 --> 1:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and I would just so I'm three years into comedy.

1:09:29.880 --> 1:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I was on stage some hood place in Philly called

1:09:33.840 --> 1:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Morgans in like Germantown part of Philadelphia, and at my

1:09:38.080 --> 1:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>mom on stage and I made front of like a

1:09:40.240 --> 1:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>family member, like my uncle or something, and I talked

1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>with the accident. I brought my uncle accent out right,

1:09:45.760 --> 1:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and everything I said in an accident was extra funny.

1:09:49.200 --> 1:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything I said in it, And I'm like, damn, they

1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>laugh at everything in an accent. Why didn't I just

1:09:54.760 --> 1:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>talk like that? Right? So I'm like, well, if I'm

1:09:57.680 --> 1:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk like this, I gotta put his clothes on

1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.599
<v Speaker 1>right now. I don't even know shoes, and take my shoes.

1:10:02.640 --> 1:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I'n beat the village. And then my career went up,

1:10:06.760 --> 1:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you know. But then you don't gonna then maybe twenty

1:10:10.920 --> 1:10:13.479
<v Speaker 1>thirteen is kind of like when I killed it, right,

1:10:13.640 --> 1:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So I wore it. I did it. I shiki from

1:10:16.120 --> 1:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>like we're talking about like two thousand hmmm, nineteen ninety nine,

1:10:22.600 --> 1:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>right ninety nine to like two thousand and tennis, you know,

1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and then when social media came out. I made a

1:10:28.640 --> 1:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>name for myself, and then I started to be more vulgar.

1:10:31.840 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I went from like that clean comic to like what's

1:10:36.080 --> 1:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>really in me? Right? You know? And when that's when

1:10:38.840 --> 1:10:43.000

1:10:43.080 --> 1:10:46.720

<v Speaker 1>beat myself. Right, And that's why I'm like this naw

1:10:53.000 --> 1:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Ti big time entertainment king of the trap. Uh. We

1:10:59.439 --> 1:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>know what he is on that side of the entertainment.

1:11:03.160 --> 1:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Recently he decided to go embark upon your side of

1:11:06.439 --> 1:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the entertainment. Yeah, got booed. I don't know if t

1:11:10.200 --> 1:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>I had never been booed before when you had the

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:16.759
<v Speaker 1>success that he's had, probably didn't get booed. What advice

1:11:17.840 --> 1:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I saw you? I didn't life when right

1:11:20.920 --> 1:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that since it happened in a life Yeah yeah yeah,

1:11:23.240 --> 1:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>and talked about it. What what advice? What advice would

1:11:26.680 --> 1:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you give him? Because me, I'm a type of guy.

1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>If I ain't good at something, I ain't gonna be

1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>able to do it. I got can't. I can't do well.

1:11:31.960 --> 1:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I know with comedy. The grittis have been booed. You

1:11:34.920 --> 1:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>ain't make it, So you've been booed. Everybody has been boomed.

1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing. You hadn't made it in something

1:11:40.960 --> 1:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>else and been successful at that. Most comedians ain't been

1:11:43.880 --> 1:11:46.719
<v Speaker 1>successful at something else. Yeah, it's easy to get booed

1:11:46.880 --> 1:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>when you've never had the level of success that he's enjoyed. Yeah,

1:11:50.240 --> 1:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>but he's in he's going through a whole different type

1:11:52.160 --> 1:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>of gig, you know, in the wrong city. Booed in

1:11:56.400 --> 1:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the comedy club side the same as booing on the

1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>football field boom you fuck, Yeah, it sounds the same. Well,

1:12:02.360 --> 1:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>New York is a rough place, yeah, you know. And

1:12:06.040 --> 1:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the thing about it is he needed that to realize that,

1:12:10.000 --> 1:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is not a joke that you're doing

1:12:13.000 --> 1:12:16.759
<v Speaker 1>it yet, you know. So he learned from it, and honestly,

1:12:16.960 --> 1:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>since then he's been you know, he got better, you know.

1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>But he think he's been so successful in what he does,

1:12:24.320 --> 1:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. So he's very cocky about it, right, you know,

1:12:28.120 --> 1:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and honest and I see that because the most commedians

1:12:30.320 --> 1:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>don't wait out late to get started, though none of

1:12:32.920 --> 1:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the don't. But even if the dude you know, we

1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you go through a process, but it's different now nowadays.

1:12:40.280 --> 1:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, you could just start doing skits. Let's go

1:12:43.120 --> 1:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>through the new comics. Now you can start doing skits

1:12:45.320 --> 1:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and next thing you know, you're end up being a comedian.

1:12:47.320 --> 1:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>People that are successful in that, like DC Young fly right,

1:12:50.439 --> 1:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>he was a guy that just started off roasting people

1:12:52.680 --> 1:12:55.479
<v Speaker 1>and now he's a hell of a comedian, right yeah,

1:12:56.160 --> 1:12:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, proud of him. Love this kid. And I

1:12:58.560 --> 1:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>remember when he started seven years ago. You know, he

1:13:01.000 --> 1:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>was on there making fun of everybody and then he

1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>made him roasted each other. And like now he's on

1:13:06.000 --> 1:13:08.639
<v Speaker 1>tour with me. He's on the tour, right, and he's

1:13:08.680 --> 1:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>helping selling tickets. He's the biggest, probably the one the

1:13:12.200 --> 1:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>biggest influence on the tour because he's has eleven million followers,

1:13:15.120 --> 1:13:22.479
<v Speaker 1>right Ti. He's a superstar and you know, and so

1:13:22.560 --> 1:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get the respect, right you know, he rather

1:13:25.760 --> 1:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>respect as a star, you know, but he can't take

1:13:29.200 --> 1:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>advantage of it. You gotta still understand he's trying to

1:13:31.280 --> 1:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do comedy here, right. You know. My biggest advice to

1:13:34.360 --> 1:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>him was, like, you know, startup hosting a show. When

1:13:36.400 --> 1:13:38.519
<v Speaker 1>your host there's no pressure, right, you know, you go

1:13:38.640 --> 1:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>up there, crack a couple of jokes, bring on the

1:13:40.439 --> 1:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>next comedian, right. But he know, he just so he

1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>wants to he's ready to headline, right, And so he

1:13:47.479 --> 1:13:51.439
<v Speaker 1>has to learn, you know, he has to learn the hardware.

1:13:51.479 --> 1:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that Boeing humbled him, yes, and brought

1:13:54.960 --> 1:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>him to reality. And he had to go back there

1:13:57.200 --> 1:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>drawing board. And then following day he was in Atlanta

1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>performing and he did well. What do you like most

1:14:05.439 --> 1:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>about Tory? I mean, I guess making money. That's it's

1:14:14.880 --> 1:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a job. Now, don't get I enjoyed a hundred percent.

1:14:17.439 --> 1:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh. I mean, and

1:14:21.800 --> 1:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing this twenty seven years. I performed last

1:14:25.800 --> 1:14:28.639
<v Speaker 1>night in Long Beach and it's like, you know, it's

1:14:28.680 --> 1:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>just a great feeling getting on stage and making people laugh.

1:14:31.560 --> 1:14:33.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel like a doctor. I'm a therapist.

1:14:34.439 --> 1:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>You know you're feeling bad, You come out to a

1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>comedy club you haven't seen. It will make you feel better,

1:14:38.240 --> 1:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>make you forget about your problems till you get home.

1:14:40.280 --> 1:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Then you on your own. Mother sucker, what's your worst purchase?

<v Speaker 1>dress up. You like nice things. I've seen you know

1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>you be suiting the booty. You talk about your eyes.

1:14:52.800 --> 1:14:55.240

1:14:55.360 --> 1:15:02.639
<v Speaker 1>lever made damn and not the thing about it. I'm

1:15:02.720 --> 1:15:06.479
<v Speaker 1>not the I'm trying to think, you know, what's the

1:15:06.600 --> 1:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>what's the worst purchase in my life? God? Trying if

1:15:12.080 --> 1:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I bought something that appreciate it, I can't. I can't

1:15:17.120 --> 1:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>think of I mean saying, gotta be something expensive, right, Yeah,

1:15:25.920 --> 1:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't even say my car. And I

1:15:31.880 --> 1:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>know I spent a lot of money for my car,

1:15:34.880 --> 1:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but at least no I'm African. Okay, they least things through.

1:15:43.560 --> 1:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing, Okay, we live in Hollywood, we live

1:15:47.920 --> 1:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>in whatever you know. And now I understand why these

1:15:51.360 --> 1:15:53.439
<v Speaker 1>guys fake it to to make it, because you know,

1:15:54.400 --> 1:15:57.479
<v Speaker 1>all these guys come out if they go rent a

1:15:57.680 --> 1:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Rose Roys and get a NB and B for house,

1:16:00.360 --> 1:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>took a picture and act like they own it. And

1:16:02.880 --> 1:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they do all of that because we're in an era

1:16:07.000 --> 1:16:09.439
<v Speaker 1>where nobody respect you or care about you if you

1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have anything. You know, so a lot of time,

1:16:12.600 --> 1:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, we do things for a reason. Like people

1:16:16.280 --> 1:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>only respect you by what they think you're worked. Right,

1:16:19.640 --> 1:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>if I'm coming to a meeting trying to get some money,

1:16:23.840 --> 1:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>If I drive up there with a Rose Roys whatever,

1:16:26.240 --> 1:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this guy was playing on paying me. It just went

1:16:28.320 --> 1:16:30.559
<v Speaker 1>up twenty thousand dollars. And you know what by looking

1:16:30.600 --> 1:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>at his car, she's not gonna take this offer. I

1:16:33.080 --> 1:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta pay him this. You know, if I decide invite

1:16:36.880 --> 1:16:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you to my pent house, if you're trying to pay

1:16:39.520 --> 1:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>me ten thousand dollars, now you're like, I got paid

1:16:41.800 --> 1:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and got twenty, you know, And we do everything for

1:16:46.280 --> 1:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>everything's an image. People respect you by what to see.

1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Nobody care about Brookman Me ain't got nothing. Anybody wanna

1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:55.519
<v Speaker 1>be around you. Right. It's a shame, but that's the

1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>where we're living, you know. So I'm not I don't

1:16:58.000 --> 1:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>regret any materialistic thing that I've gone. Everything was done

1:17:01.280 --> 1:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>for a reason, as it was done for a reason,

1:17:03.680 --> 1:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, at the end of the day,

1:17:05.920 --> 1:17:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, when my kids are ready for college, they

1:17:07.680 --> 1:17:10.839
<v Speaker 1>will be able to go to college. I don't need anything.

1:17:11.040 --> 1:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Whatever I want, I could get it, you know, I'm

1:17:13.439 --> 1:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>giving back at the same time, you know, so there

1:17:17.520 --> 1:17:21.519
<v Speaker 1>is no not being any bad purchase. You know, I

1:17:21.640 --> 1:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>came close to one time, but I didn't go through

1:17:23.960 --> 1:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>with it for some reason. I've been pretty good with,

1:17:26.640 --> 1:17:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, dealing with money, right. And don't get wrong,

1:17:29.479 --> 1:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I never want to college. It's just that just from

1:17:31.400 --> 1:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>being a kid and Penny Pitch and everything and giving

1:17:35.400 --> 1:17:37.599
<v Speaker 1>mother half the money. Just knowing how to save money

1:17:37.920 --> 1:17:40.559
<v Speaker 1>because that's what we did as kid. You don't in America,

1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You guys, you just have a million out in the bank,

1:17:44.200 --> 1:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but you'll go and get you a five million out

1:17:46.040 --> 1:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of house like what you're doing that for it? Right?

1:17:48.120 --> 1:17:50.479
<v Speaker 1>You know. When I'm from you want something, you save

1:17:50.560 --> 1:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the money for it, and you get it. I'm gonna

1:17:54.000 --> 1:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>get you out of here on this one. Give me

1:17:55.760 --> 1:18:02.639
<v Speaker 1>your mouth rushmore comedians. Uh. You know at one point

1:18:02.720 --> 1:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I had, you know, to me, Eddie Murphy will stop

1:18:05.439 --> 1:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>God till today you could watch Raw and watch Delirious

1:18:10.680 --> 1:18:14.599
<v Speaker 1>still relevant? Yes, and that thing is thirty five forty

1:18:14.680 --> 1:18:18.360
<v Speaker 1>years old. Yes, I got pulled Eddie at one. And

1:18:18.439 --> 1:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I know Richard Pryor, you know a lot of people

1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:23.479
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's Richard Pryor. But I came to America

1:18:23.560 --> 1:18:27.880
<v Speaker 1>doing to Eddie Eddie Murphy era. You know. So when

1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I got here, I think Richard was pretty much he

1:18:31.360 --> 1:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>was more like just doing movies at the time, you know.

1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>So I had to go back to to you know,

1:18:39.160 --> 1:18:42.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty him. You know, so I gotta pull, you know,

1:18:42.160 --> 1:18:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and then I heard by some other personal things that

1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>he did a kind of like told me off a

1:18:47.920 --> 1:18:49.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But I'm not gonna judge him for what

1:18:50.000 --> 1:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>he happened in his past. But I gotta pulled Eddie first.

1:18:52.320 --> 1:18:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I pulled Richard Pryde number two. Then I have to

1:18:56.680 --> 1:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>go with current. You know, I've watched specials in the

1:19:03.000 --> 1:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>past twenty years, and for me, Chris Rock, every time

1:19:08.800 --> 1:19:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you put out a special, it was special. Yeah, because

1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rock took his time. Chris Rock put out special

1:19:14.640 --> 1:19:17.559
<v Speaker 1>almost every five to eight years, right, you know, because

1:19:17.560 --> 1:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I think a special has to be special, man. You

1:19:19.400 --> 1:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>have to put time and effort in to wait. And

1:19:21.880 --> 1:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>every special that Chris Rock did was special to me. Okay,

1:19:26.160 --> 1:19:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I would put Chris Rock at three,

1:19:35.760 --> 1:19:39.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gotta then I gotta go with I

<v Speaker 1>you know. The thing with Dave you know, Dave started

1:19:47.560 --> 1:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>off comedy. They were doing comedy for about fifteen years,

1:19:53.240 --> 1:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and Blackboard didn't know dame right, you know, because he

1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Dave Chappelle. No, he was in h the Plumps, another

1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>professor when he was Reggie, Yes, and then he was

1:20:13.080 --> 1:20:16.679
<v Speaker 1>in Blue Street with Martins when he started doing black stuff. Yeah,

1:20:17.200 --> 1:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>like he was doing comedy tenors before that. I didn't know.

1:20:20.240 --> 1:20:21.720

1:20:21.760 --> 1:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a contract. I didn't know. No, So, you know, because

1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Dave was able to, like you know, start off as

1:20:29.240 --> 1:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>mainstream and was able to capture every audience. Yes, and

1:20:33.760 --> 1:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>now he's the top dog. Yes, you know. So I

1:20:39.120 --> 1:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>put him there as what we at for four that's it,

1:20:41.920 --> 1:20:45.439
<v Speaker 1>that's all you get. He's top twelve, top five. No, No,

1:20:45.840 --> 1:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>my boy has four faces on it. That's it. Okay,

1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That's top fourth. Because I was gonna be

1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:56.040
<v Speaker 1>fit who Michael Blackson. Here's a man had come from

1:20:56.080 --> 1:20:59.599
<v Speaker 1>a whole different continent and man and made a name

1:20:59.600 --> 1:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>for himself in comedy. The first man from the whole

1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:06.120
<v Speaker 1>continent of Africa to be known America as a comedian

1:21:07.040 --> 1:21:09.120

1:21:09.360 --> 1:21:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and I did it. Give credit. I'm not gonna be

1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:15.200
