Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning.
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 3: Everybody is the j Envy Jess, Hilarys, Charlamagne, the God.
Speaker 3: We are the breakfast Club law on the Rosa Philiny
Speaker 3: for just we got a special guests in.
Speaker 2: The belt of a legend. God damn it, brother, Mike.
Speaker 2: I'm serious, Mike, I don't want them introducing you no
Speaker 2: more if they ain't putting legends on your motherfucking egge.
Speaker 2: Well we got the legends.
Speaker 1: Hold.
Speaker 4: You got to get to be a legend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got. I'm getting there.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's about age, It's about what you've
Speaker 2: done in the game. But you've done yet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks, man, I appreciate. I appreciate that, you know, compliment.
Speaker 6: You don't feel like legendary status, so you don't feel
Speaker 6: it like I paved the way like I'm here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, I try to use
Speaker 5: those words, you know, the right way, legend and all
Speaker 5: of that stuff. But I do feel like, you know,
Speaker 5: I put a lot of young comics on. You know,
Speaker 5: they don't they don't give me no problems for it,
Speaker 5: though they act like they don't know me after they
Speaker 5: get on.
Speaker 3: But Mike, he always supported us early on. He actually
Speaker 3: did our first skit with the Breakfast Club. Remember the
Speaker 3: first kid that was the first kit was with with
Speaker 3: you and you did.
Speaker 1: That for us.
Speaker 2: And he used to put money in my pocket because
Speaker 2: you used to do the April Fools commember. He's always
Speaker 2: at the garden.
Speaker 5: Yeah man, so yeah man, And and it feels good
Speaker 5: to be able to, you know what I mean, turn
Speaker 5: on the young comics, put them on, because I was
Speaker 5: once one at one time. I mean I used to
Speaker 5: be staying on the stage trying to get on open
Speaker 5: up for Steve Harvey and uh D l Heagley.
Speaker 2: So you know they hate on you.
Speaker 5: No okay, no, no, no, no no. They never hated
Speaker 5: on me, but you could tell though. You know, when
Speaker 5: you're an older comic or you're an older artist and
Speaker 5: somebody new come on, you know, it takes time for
Speaker 5: them to be like, Okay, this dude is cool, you know,
Speaker 5: or I can work with him. You know, you don't
Speaker 5: know how a person's gonna turn out.
Speaker 2: So I shouldn't even have said hate, because sometimes I
Speaker 2: think that people don't realize how much of a fraternity
Speaker 2: comedy is, and they want to see you earn your
Speaker 2: dudes before.
Speaker 1: They they do. That's right, But nowadays it's different.
Speaker 5: Man. You know, artists are getting they just do a
Speaker 5: little quicker than we did. We had to really work
Speaker 5: for that ship. We had to go hit them stages.
Speaker 5: And now they got the social media thing, which is
Speaker 5: good and bad because you're getting opportunities premature of you
Speaker 5: working for it, so it could be tricky.
Speaker 3: Do you respect that or you you you feel like
Speaker 3: they should get their dudes first to hit them clubs.
Speaker 5: Well, I respect the fact that they It's still a hustle, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, to be able to be on the internet.
Speaker 1: I still ain't figured that ship out.
Speaker 5: I still ain't figured out how to really get the
Speaker 5: money off the internet like these young like they on
Speaker 5: Snapchat and all this shit. I really haven't figured it out.
Speaker 5: But I respect that because that's the new hustle. But
Speaker 5: like I said, when it's when it's time for you
Speaker 5: to get an opportunity and show and prove you ain't
Speaker 5: really been in the gym.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you you you.
Speaker 5: Know, you got you got muscles, but they didn't come
Speaker 5: from the gym.
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, they don't know how to
Speaker 2: get money on stage. They don't get they don't know
Speaker 2: how to get money in the TV world. They don't
Speaker 2: know how to get money in the world.
Speaker 5: That's right, and it takes and that that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: This levels to the ship and you got to keep on,
Speaker 5: you know. And I always say I tell people, man,
Speaker 5: you know, you might have a lot, you might know
Speaker 5: a lot, and it's you know, it's somebody looking at
Speaker 5: you like you don't know ship and have a lot either.
Speaker 1: For everybody that got a billion dollars Bill Gates and
Speaker 1: them they pay that shit in taxes.
Speaker 5: They're looking at some black dude like, if you don't
Speaker 5: get your little point you were right?
Speaker 3: Now, do you like going out on tour with so
Speaker 3: many comedians? Do you enjoy if you do?
Speaker 5: Well, you know what envy I I'm hosting this tour.
Speaker 5: So these are all young comics that's coming up.
Speaker 1: He didn't start with me, though, no he didn't.
Speaker 5: He's young to me because he you know, he came
Speaker 5: up after me. But for the most part, all of
Speaker 5: them are young comics that's trying to get to the
Speaker 5: next level, which is film and television and whatever that is.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's cool man, you know, I'm secure for
Speaker 5: myself and I'm secure with my comedy act. I go
Speaker 5: on tour with anybody all today, all day, I tell him,
Speaker 5: I tell him all. I had Bubba Dove yesterday, just
Speaker 5: telling him. Man, it's good how you're transitioning. It's good
Speaker 5: that you're able to transition. Some comics can't do it.
Speaker 5: Just make sure that you keep focusing on the next
Speaker 5: level while you on one level, while you're doing stand
Speaker 5: up up, make sure you position yourself so that when
Speaker 5: you get an acting opportunity, you can.
Speaker 1: Act, because that's what happens a lot of times.
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of them blow up. Then
Speaker 5: they get a movie opportunity and can't act. So why
Speaker 5: are you doing stand up and you coming up? Go
Speaker 5: to some acting classes, man, watch movies. Start positioning yourself
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 6: I think me and Jess were talking about this before,
Speaker 6: and I was telling her like like the way that,
Speaker 6: like even with Martin, he brings her on his like
Speaker 6: you know, different stages. I think that two way street
Speaker 6: that you're talking about is really important because they're teaching
Speaker 6: you while you're teaching them, especially because like I feel
Speaker 6: like sometimes comedians who come up the way you come
Speaker 6: up when they shut out like the just hilarious is
Speaker 6: the Desie Banks or whatever. You get so behind the
Speaker 6: times that it just doesn't come off well a lot
Speaker 6: of times.
Speaker 4: And I think for.
Speaker 6: You guys and what you do, you're trying to figure
Speaker 6: out social media. If it doesn't come off well, then
Speaker 6: fans kind of start to look at you a little differently.
Speaker 6: You got to battle so many different things because they
Speaker 6: don't Yeah, it's what's here right now.
Speaker 4: So the fact that you're getting that.
Speaker 1: On Instagram, like, you can't get around that because you
Speaker 1: who are to.
Speaker 2: Watch about it's not just older?
Speaker 4: You know, Listen when you said wasn't young? I looked
Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 6: I thought he was way younger. He's forty seven.
Speaker 2: Was younger?
Speaker 6: I thought, was like not too. I thought he was
Speaker 6: like maybe forty.
Speaker 4: He gives young energy.
Speaker 6: But I'm saying I just think that it's dope to
Speaker 6: see people embracing it because they be hating, like a
Speaker 6: lot of the old his be hating.
Speaker 4: And it's crazy because.
Speaker 2: What just oldad that word around a lot with that.
Speaker 6: Why are you upset about being called older? That's a
Speaker 6: gift to age and to have what you had.
Speaker 2: Not it's just how you said, Well, I don't mean.
Speaker 4: I don't mean in no way. What I'm saying to
Speaker 4: you is is that I know what you mean.
Speaker 6: I think it's fire to see you doing it, because
Speaker 6: a lot of people don't and you're not about it.
Speaker 5: A lot of older guys I don't know how to
Speaker 5: you know, they don't really don't know how to embrace that.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: But like I said, man, that's what we're supposed to do.
Speaker 5: We got to keep on given, handing it down, handing
Speaker 5: it down to each other, because I'm gonna be in
Speaker 5: a position one day I'm gonna need one of the
Speaker 5: young dudes to.
Speaker 1: Put me in.
Speaker 5: That's what Red Fox and Eddie Murphy put Red Fox in.
Speaker 5: He looked out for Red Fox, gave him. Yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 5: Now let's get message. What you want to ask me.
Speaker 2: Exactly what Kevin hart tigned going to be the entertainment
Speaker 2: is all for the pacers and fever. You are from Indiana,
Speaker 2: like you super famous from Indiana, right, and then built
Speaker 2: the whole community in Indiana. How did that make you
Speaker 2: feel that they didn't call you for that?
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I thought about it.
Speaker 5: I was I was the ambassador for the man's uh
Speaker 5: All Star in Indiana this past All Star.
Speaker 1: And keV should have called me if he was in Indianapolis.
Speaker 5: Because I definitely called him when I was in Philly,

Speaker 1: I'm the only fan they got.
Speaker 5: Outside outside of the outside of India, outside.
Speaker 1: Of what they fans are in that city, you know.
Speaker 5: So you know, hey, man, it's it's politics and then
Speaker 5: and and a lot of times people that are not
Speaker 5: in a business like people are not in comedy, people
Speaker 5: are not in the rap game that run entities.
Speaker 1: They don't know they think they think me and.
Speaker 5: Kevin sitting in the backyard drinking iced tea together, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So you really can't get upset
Speaker 5: about it, but it's.
Speaker 1: Enough for everybody, man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Kevin, he put it, he put on, He put on
Speaker 5: enough young comics and people.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't get slighted about that. Man. It's cool.

Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. We me and Kevin
Speaker 5: talk man. And again, man, I'm everything I do now.

Speaker 5: old to talk shit, too old to be broke. I'm
Speaker 5: too old for all of that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2: And you know, but I know you're gonna reach out
Speaker 2: for you to do something when he put that together.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, well that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5: that that's what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: The white boys do it.
Speaker 5: They You already look up, all them white boys be
Speaker 5: together doing movies and television together. While we can't do it,
Speaker 5: but we do like the black people do.
Speaker 1: Like we love fussing with each other too. That shit
Speaker 1: is fun.
Speaker 5: Who oh shit, I guess it's systematically, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. We cannot get away from race, We cannot
Speaker 5: get away from slavery. It's just keep on. It's just
Speaker 5: a thin line of that shit still in the community.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: And if you match it up to back end slavery,
Speaker 5: it's still the same. You know, they used to take
Speaker 5: one brother, one brother and put some clothes on it
Speaker 5: and have him sitting on the porch with a lemonade
Speaker 5: looking at the rest of the dudes out there in
Speaker 5: the field.
Speaker 1: They still doing that ship and we still forgetting it.

Speaker 1: And you see them brothers out there in the field,
Speaker 1: they ain't got nothing. You got to sneak out the

Speaker 5: And if you the man, if you the man, you
Speaker 5: can't be afraid to be standing next to another black

Speaker 5: hayten shit too. If you the man and the people
Speaker 5: the powers that be. It's paying you and making you
Speaker 5: who you are. If you not and you don't want

Speaker 4: Okay, So thang, the I mentioned all the smoke.
Speaker 6: You had to come up with the apology after sitting
Speaker 6: on all the smoke, and you talked about learning how
Speaker 6: to finally get to it's white. Yeah, when you said
Speaker 6: down all all the smoke podcasts with my Barnes, because
Speaker 6: even you said that you were you wanted to get
Speaker 6: to a point where you were treating women one hundred
Speaker 6: percent right or something like that. And I think people
Speaker 6: took it the wrong way because you've been with your
Speaker 6: wife for a while. I saw y'all at NAACP Image
Speaker 6: Awards looked amazing. But does that even come back up
Speaker 6: in conversation with your relationship or how does she handle
Speaker 6: you been able to joke like you just did about
Speaker 6: things now that that has happened.
Speaker 5: No, my wife's a grown ass woman. She's she's she's
Speaker 5: the truth. My wife is the truth, and she's a
Speaker 5: grown woman.
Speaker 1: She don't pay attention to none of that Patty ship
Speaker 1: not Patty. She ain't. She ain't no little girl.
Speaker 5: So yeah, she can decipe from when I'm saying something
Speaker 5: that that I might not have meant.
Speaker 1: The right way or whatever.
Speaker 5: She know when I'm talking ship and when i'm you know,
Speaker 5: she know me. So I didn't say nothing to really
Speaker 5: offend nobody, you know, But it is the truth.
Speaker 1: It takes me in a long time to get the
Speaker 1: ship together.
Speaker 5: And every woman that's with a man, it's got to
Speaker 5: be a little bit more patient than we are with
Speaker 5: them because it takes a while. It takes a while
Speaker 5: for a man to you know, get her ship together.
Speaker 5: It's I mean, we we got were fighting up against
Speaker 5: so much temptation.
Speaker 1: It's like, damn, it's like, whoa. You gotta be a.
Speaker 5: Certain kind of guy to really survive and navigate through
Speaker 5: the world.
Speaker 1: Charlamae.
Speaker 2: We was just talking about Whoopi Goldberg the other day.
Speaker 1: Is that what you want?

Speaker 1: Yeah, because this is what I came to promote, this tour.
Speaker 2: This tour we didn't want, we want this tour.
Speaker 1: I came to.
Speaker 5: Promote this man because we got some young, bad comedians.
Speaker 5: And if you're in a city and you ain't seen
Speaker 5: this tour, I mean probably a lot of y'all probably
Speaker 5: seen wilding out you know them a little.
Speaker 1: It's all right, wilding out, you know, don't shock and
Speaker 1: wilding out.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, they do a tour, but you'll do
Speaker 5: to Cannon and there they're doing a tour, but we
Speaker 5: do it. This tour right here is this is the
Speaker 5: best young comics coming up in the game right now.
Speaker 2: How did it become like a staple tour? Because, like
Speaker 2: I remember, it started a few years ago. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: like every year since y'all been doing this. So how
Speaker 2: did it become like a staple tour?
Speaker 5: Well, shout out to my man Blake Man promoter out
Speaker 5: of Chicago. This young brother has been promoting for a
Speaker 5: long time.
Speaker 1: He does a great job.
Speaker 5: He started out before I started, Before I came along,
Speaker 5: he had d Ray. He was doing like d Ray
Speaker 5: so many other shoes shows in Chicago for New Year's Eve,
Speaker 5: and they were selling out sometime two and three shows, man,
Speaker 5: ten twenty thousand people. So when he put this tour together,
Speaker 5: you know, I came along and like I said, Man,
Speaker 5: we come on, man. You got Country Wayne, you got
Speaker 5: Little Duval, you got Corey Holcomb, you got Tony Roberts,
Speaker 5: you got.
Speaker 1: Bubba dubb Manjo.
Speaker 5: Man, these tell me any young comics is better than
Speaker 5: these young dudes.
Speaker 1: These young dudes O G is in the now.
Speaker 2: Corey is o G. See, I don't think nobody's funnier
Speaker 2: than a lot of the o G. Like Corey is
Speaker 2: one of the funniest world to me.
Speaker 1: Wrong, Yeah, he gonna say what he want to say,
Speaker 1: how you want to say it. He don't care. And
Speaker 1: and and that's the great thing.
Speaker 5: We it's a nucleus of young dudes, and we throw
Speaker 5: in a couple of old guys in there.
Speaker 1: But it's still a young, happy hopping tour, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So this tour is good. Man. We
Speaker 1: was in Brooklyn last night.
Speaker 5: They messed around and put us today after the fight,
Speaker 5: so we didn't get the crowd. Last year we did
Speaker 5: ten thousand people in plays and this year we only
Speaker 5: did about four thousand.
Speaker 1: But you know, the fight. The fight kind of messed
Speaker 1: us up. But this tour, it was weird.
Speaker 2: It was on a Sunday. I didn't even know y'all
Speaker 2: was in time.
Speaker 3: We thought you were coming up here to promote God.
Speaker 2: Because I don't even know. I didn't even know I
Speaker 2: was gonna go.
Speaker 3: But then we wasn't gonna go.
Speaker 2: Comedy show, Yeah, out all the time show. I was
Speaker 2: gonna ask, how do you how do you.
Speaker 3: Well, what's the worst show that you see? And how
Speaker 3: do you talk to a comedian about getting booed? The
Speaker 3: reason I asked Charlamagne toast all the time ain't nothing
Speaker 3: funny in the comedian being booed.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Then over the weekend, I happen to turn on and
Speaker 3: I see a good friend Donelle getting booed. So how
Speaker 3: do you talk to a comedian after that?
Speaker 2: What do you tell them?
Speaker 1: Big brother advice?
Speaker 5: You know, every show is different, man, you know, but
Speaker 5: getting booed as a comic, that's a tough one. That's
Speaker 5: a tough one because it's a reevaluation of who you
Speaker 5: are and what you do. And don't be no older
Speaker 5: like Downell, he's too goddamn old to get booed.
Speaker 2: Record, I do want to get you a comic.
Speaker 1: He was judging, okay, judging, and.
Speaker 2: One of them white boy groo and boy wasn't feeling Lord,
Speaker 2: he didn't gotna know. I was trying to because I
Speaker 2: ain't texted BT it get mad that you mentioned that
Speaker 2: right now? He was hoping that with the white people.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you know what.
Speaker 5: Every day is a different day, man, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean? And some days you're gonna have your jokes
Speaker 5: are gonna work. I could do a joke one night
Speaker 5: and it blows. It's kills in Detroit, and then I
Speaker 5: go to Brooklyn the next night, and it ain't popping,
Speaker 5: but it's just different energy.
Speaker 1: You know, different cities, different energy. But if you do
