0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everybody always say rap a Lot. I think that's

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>our only label too. You know, we have some other labels,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.920

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>But rap a Lot is the a staple. Absolutely, they

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.920

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 1>in prison. They was just I was the kid, the

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>kid on the back of the bus. And then when

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I was in prison, I was the same way. Oh

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.440

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>funny how you even gotta start doing the goal because

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.680

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.600

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't even have to name in the

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>grocer store. Just know it's a grocery store and she

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.200

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, what's the what's the saying fake it till you

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>make it.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that. When I was young, I don't

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>believe that.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it. Then because of the nice of

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the round table, she knew that knew that circle was fake.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just in there looking crazy. My daddy's sad, me pressed,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like this, my daddy bout this. That's your only excuse.

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>My daddy bout of prison.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>That was your first out of prison?

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was my first shot prison. A nice of

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the round table? How long person six yeads six?

0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>What did you do?

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I used to be a street pharmaceutical rept with very

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>from very front. Like they when you sell drugs, they

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>want you to have a jacket, go to like a

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>CVS or ride aid or somewhere. People come in with prescriptions.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, shortcutting it.

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 2>What kind of drug? Was it? Drug?

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately? Crack?

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>You said the age said? You said okay? Like that

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>was that?

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>That was just ahead of your time?

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Marijuana. You know, I got fouting us who went to

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>jail for marijuana is like and they and they knew

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it was wrong. They're like, man, this don't even make

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>no sense. It's a leaf. Now. What I did was

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>definitely wrong, you know, like with this and and I'm

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>still sad about what I did. If you look at

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>the epidemic now, you you realize that you you contributed

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>to this in some form of fashion from what you

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>were doing in the in the early late eighties, early nineties.

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And then the spin off of these drug induced children

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that came from the product of those people who you

0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>infected with that chemical.

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>You can play about the crack babies.

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this they this day spent off and these

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>kids take everything. You know, you know, generations, we had

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>certain things. You know, you had the heroin, then you

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>had weed, then you had cocaine, then you had cracked.

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>But these kids, a man put it on the table.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing all of it at once. Crush it up.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Just put in the ball ex heroin. Hey that's one.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>That's that's at noon. And I still I still got

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>weed and drank and I'm a snorting little thumb. I

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>made you. I don't know what I'm doing all day, Like, hey,

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>what it's called rolling? And I don't I don't want

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to do it. I don't want my kids doing it.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't want I don't want people doing it. The

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>fact that you only got six years back then. Is

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.079
<v Speaker 1>is because they were giving people football numbers. Who got

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>six years? Hid six? I had six on the I

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>did six on the fifteen. Wow, And I had a

0:09:51.920 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and a ten that ran concurrent. Said, so they

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>said you only got six. I said, g man, no,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 1>you mean somebody, no envy. I didn't know nobody. I

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>knew real Harris my attorney.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>First.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>When I first went in, it was a fair case

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and they spect to they come in, there were just

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you three hundred months. And in your mind

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>they stay like that, that yeah, three hundred months. And

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 1>in your mind you were like, Okay, three hundred months.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 1>That ain't that ain't nothing. But I know math, and

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, nah, nah, you know three hundred months twelve Nah.

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>We carried nah. They because they said it months wouldn't

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>sound like you can do it. Three hundred, three hundred

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>months out of it sound like days. But then when

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you do go to calculating. So then it got dropped

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>down the state right in the state. The lady came

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in and she was wild and the prosecute. She said, well,

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm recommending ninety nine years. This is when ninety nine years,

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 1>this is the thing heavy?

0:10:58.880 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>How much crack you got.

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 6>On?

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Not only but it was five keys, right, So the

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>thing is that Jesus I think is that I'm they're

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to let me in court because I'm gonna

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>say something. My attorney at he wasn't talking fast enough.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>He's like ninety nine years, And I said a very

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>derogatory word toward that later, and I asked her who

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>she thinks she caught. I'm like, man, I am nineteen.

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Who you think you caught? Ma'am? Esketball like, So we

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>come back to court again, got reset off. She's talking

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>about I think sixty years would be appropriate. Man again, ma'am, like,

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you want me to have a life as it is?

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.199

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>real hairs. He he would in there, did what he did,

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and he came back. He said, man, I almost got

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you ten. I said, I almost got to meet ten.

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>so you had to take fifteen, the lowest number. But

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.720

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I probably got to stopped somewhere I didn't remember, and

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, you know, I came to

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>get you out. And now they talking about can you

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>step on this side to get somebody? It's not exchange, yo,

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you for him? Now, I came to get it. We're

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>supposed to both be leaving together. He can't drop my

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>car and I don't. That's why I don't trust my license.

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's shaky sometimes, man. But that matt you can't

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>take that mattress. No, I slept, man. It was funny.

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to jail in a in a white area

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, okay. And at the time, I was

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a spokesman for a bail bonds company and the CUCA

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>wa I'm now. The slogan was, if you go to jail,

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll get you out. So it's no way in the

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>world I'm gonna stay in there. But the you gotta

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>make a phone call. Now. To make a phone call,

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get a bond first, right, So I said, okay,

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>let me see the judge. I can get a bond.

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>The man said, the judge is gone for the day.

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I said, but it's nine twenty a m. He's done

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>all the judging like he's done for today. Man. So

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I had to stay overnight to get a bond for

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>them to even come get me.

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>What time did the judge come in.

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is my thing. This is my thing in

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Bazouria County. I just wanted to let it be known

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Bassoura County. The man done at eight thirty and what

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>so you come on and he's early because the next

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>day I had to get one. They wake you up

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>at four thirty. You in there at five. He ruled

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody sitting in the room. He gone at a thirty,

0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so I had to wait till the next day to

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>get bonded out. I'm thinking nobody's gonna know me because

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's all white people, white and hispanic. I'm walking with

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.119
<v Speaker 1>a little mattress. And I was on this show on

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.880

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'm nineteen. I'm probably loud too, loud too, and

<v Speaker 1>for two weeks, waiting for two weeks, came back T

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>shirt and jeans, and I didn't write down what I

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 1>was doing because everybody was singing man. And I never

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>won at this bottle night because people hit you with

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the gospel songs. Even though I was I was good

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>gospel song man. I heard I sang. The dude he

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 1>was started rapping and was getting about to get booted

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and changed his song. In the middle of the song,

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 1>we started singing about Jesus, so like this, how you

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 1>spell relief? J U s you like? So I changed

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>my whole thing, went back up every week for about

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a month and a half to the people. As soon

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.199
<v Speaker 1>as I would get there. After that, people were like, yo, man,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going up tonight. Oh he's funny. So I ended

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.359
<v Speaker 1>up becoming the host of that same place that I

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>got booed and just joking Comedy Cafe and I was

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.479
<v Speaker 1>the host for like a year, and yeah, that's how

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:19.959
<v Speaker 1>it started.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember the joke that that got him, that

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 2>made you say, you know what, I can do this?

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I remember the jones that got him. It was

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>a dude. A dude tried to boo me that was

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>on a football team and I told him that he

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 1>was a he was a nose tackle. It wouldn't hike

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball because he liked the way the quarterback had

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 1>his hands on this ball.

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>He was the center. You mean he's the center.

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>H I was like, yo, he he, I don't feel

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 1>like it.

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember it was.

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>That's when I was doing jokes, you know, and not

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.919
<v Speaker 1>the stories. You know. So now it's it's a different thing.

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've really in a joke and maybe

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>ten years.

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 5>So, how did you turn into the storyteller comedian? Because

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 5>that's that a lot of that's hard for people to do,

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 5>Like it's hard, but it's hard.

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Deal deal. I'm I'm on the road with d L

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and he he told me, he said, yo, man, the

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>funniest you're gonna ever be in life is based on

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 1>how honest you want to be. And this was after

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>some people when I was writing jokes. I don't even

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>blame the people anymore, because I think that when you

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.680
<v Speaker 1>have writers, that writers under the pressure of turning in

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 1>something to another comic, and so they could see your

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:50.960
<v Speaker 1>show and then turn in, man, I don't have nothing

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. But if you try to get that check,

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>so you turn in somebody else's material to the person

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>who you turned it into has no idea that you

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that you just sought it somewhere, and so now are

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you a thief? So now I just I switched from

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>doing jokes to doing everything personally about me and if

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you would have to, and people still try to steal it.

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard because now you know, it's a lot

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>of comics that all of a sudden they went to jail,

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>but I went to prison. It's a different thing. Jailing

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in the jail, but prison is

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>two different things. So I would go up and people

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to doing jail stuff in front of me, I'm like,

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but you know that's not what I'm doing. I'm I'm

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>walking through my life from ten years old to now.

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 1>So it just happens to be the first comedy series

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of specials like these. All these specials are tied together.

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 1>So if you see three now, which came out Mother's Day,

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't go see you can't go see four without

0:22:56.760 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 1>seeing one and two and one is one is the

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is the masterpiece. But three is the best one to

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>me thus far that I that I see, and two

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 1>has a different, a different cachet to it because I

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>was showing a different skill set in the actual art

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 1>of it, because it's two faces to comedy. You know,

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it's having a tragedy. So in two my sister passed,

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and well it's late now, you know, you know, twenty years,

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen it all the time.

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Grief is not linear. I don't know how you're feeling

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>this morning about.

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>It, man, twenty years ago to say.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty years.

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Years, I don't know. Sorry, sorry, man, Well I'm man.

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>We've dealt with God's crazy, you know what I mean.

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>People racked them up about seven more, you can say, man,

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I can run them off.

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>After my sister, with my son, then it was my grandmother. Yeah,

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>we we had some hard ones, man. So that's why

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I heard about all of them, brother, That's why I

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 1>did loss, because that's one of the number one things

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in the black community that man, death runs through our

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 1>family a little harder than just a loss. It's like,

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>now you got to figure out how to bury them

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and and all this. Man, I don't I'm I don't

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 1>want not another gold fund. Don't send me not another

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 1>goal fund.

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 6>Me.

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's try to figure out what is the situation that

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we need to prepare for when it's inevitable, it's death

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna happen, we won't even talk about it, which

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>is hey, man, I think about death every single day,

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>every single day. So I live a better life than

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>most people because I know I don't have the time

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to be engaged in things that really I can't rectify.

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not gonna hold a grudge behind something

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>when I can get an apology or I can apologize,

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you know, my whole intent to come

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 1>up here because I was mad at you. Man, you

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 1>were saying my name wrong, and you did it twice too.

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 1>He was saying, Ali. I'm like, this man, know how

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 1>to say my name Ali? You know, talking about my

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>special with somebody. Yeah, I think it's name Ali. Al

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, and they send it to me break, I'm like,

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 1>he knows how to say Ali.

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 2>You know he knows because I kept hearing other people

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>say Ali was listening.

0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>To other people better. And I asked somebody call up

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>there and asked them who his favorite box is? Probably

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Muhammad Ali, just take the Muhammad out.

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Because when the first special came out, everybody I knew

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 3>was talking about that special, especially in the comedy world.

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>It was like, Yo, you gotta watch this due Alid.

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, nobody say that. Nobody nobody said you know

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ain't nobody saying nobody said that? You know,

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like Ali wrong, like he said there all. Look,

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know Charlote. I'm like Charlamage, don't like me.

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 1>When when I get up, when I finally get to

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the bad leading, I'm leading with man, why you're saying

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 1>my name? Then I forget. Then I left it alone.

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 4>It's like.

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. At least he mentioned me. That's all I had.

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 3>But that first special took off though. Did you did

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 3>you understand that it would do that or it was

0:26:58.200 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 3>just a risk? Come and throw this on YouTube and

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 3>see what man?

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was really good. And when I do

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a special, it takes a while for it to You know,

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I have recorded probably three or four specials before that

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>one and was like, no, it's not special. So Domino

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Effect the first one. I knew that it was. I

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>knew it. It's like the first album I put out

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>talk a loud saying something that's my reasonable doubt, you know.

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So I knew once I put this one out, I

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>knew it. I had that feeling about I was too

0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>excited about it, and it didn't have any flaws to it.

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:35.879
<v Speaker 1>And that's one thing when I look at something, I

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want it to have anything that somebody can grab

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>on to like. But but what about this? So when

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.680
<v Speaker 1>when that happened, and then somebody said, well, what's the

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>rest of the story, I said, what, like, what happened

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>after that? I said, you want to know?

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 4>So they oh, so you had never even planned to

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 4>make it to keep on going with a series.

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, somebody ad ask me about what happened after that,

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and I said, okay, Well I stopped at sixteen, so

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>let's do from sixteen to nineteen and then we get

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 1>we did the first, we did two, and then I said, yo,

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>let's finish up. How I even got incarcerated? People know

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I was there, but let's see how I got there.

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>And then we did three, and we recorded three and

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>four in DC at the same time, So we did

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 1>two shows on that Friday and two shows on that Saturday.

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So four comes out Father's Day. So we strategically put

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>one on Mother's Day, one on Father's Day, and four

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 1>is two hours long, you know, versus the one thirty

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>that I've been doing. And it's getting to the pinnacle

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of how what I went through I was inside and

0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 1>how did I get jovial to come out out and

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>want to pursue comedy. So after this series, we're going

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to start another series called in the Shadows, which is

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the walk with me doing stand up, getting being in

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a public in a public space, trying to be private

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>because I'm on parole, and on parole most people don't

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>realize parole people. We try to stay out the way

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>because we know anything can get us back incarcerated. So

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>now you're trying to fight for your innocens from a

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>disposition of being incarcerated. And incarceration is especially mass incarceration

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is it's crippling. A lot of it cripples a family

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's wear and tearing on a family. And it's

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>not just you. You know, people think that my mom

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>was locked up right with me, you know, and because

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm there and she's concerned about me every day. It's

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like when somebody go to jail. My mom, NICKI would

0:29:57.480 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>always say, why you always go get trade out of

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 1>jail when he locked up? I said, man, because something

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 1>can happen just by being in there. Is the oldest boy.

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Again, I mean.

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>The oldest boy, the oldest boy. You know, he's the

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>only one that's been in trouble thus far. You know,

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 1>hopefully nobody else is ever gets in trouble because my

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>oldest daughter, Jaden, she's a chef, she's she's the she's

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a spinoff version of me I'm talking about. Man, It's

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing like having somebody respect your daughter in the streets

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like they respect you. And they always hey, man, I

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>saw your daughter. Man, she's a g man like appreciate you.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You know you raised I raised a good one. But

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you know that that raising daughters, you also have this fear,

0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>this constant fear because you've been incoss rated.

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>And you know.

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 1>How people that's not really good navigate. And you know,

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I've sat down and I've talked to people who have

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>attacked women and you know, and did all these these

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>file things in the world. So when you out in

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the street, everything I see is a red flag. It's

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>just like you're like, man, you know, hey, listen, this

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>is a sign that triggers them, you know, but you

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>can't tell women. I'm I should be able to do yeah,

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>but but but you know, I should be able to

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>do too, But I don't go.

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And then you don't want to raise your kids out

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 2>of field. But it's kind of.

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Hard not to, kind of hard not to because everything,

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>everything that you've experienced, you know. Even with my sons, man,

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm very fearful of him having children out of

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 1>wed lock with people that that don't serve him. Well,

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I'm not that father who like would tell

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>my daughters this. No, I'm more on my son. A man,

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>keep your penis in your pans, bro, before you end

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 1>up in a situation that you can't get out of.

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Then some of these young men out here nowadays, man,

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they need some real talking to. I don't want to

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 1>hear about another young lady losing her life because her

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>brother didn't understand no, absolutely or she want to leave.

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a man and I have girls, and

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm and I'm I'm really concerned about the state of

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>mind these young men because I'm like, yo, man, what

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is your deal? But I understand, I know where it

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>comes from. I don't understand these situations, but I understand

0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't. They don't communicate enough. They on this machine

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:45.440

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that walk, what I'm saying. And just at a at

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a table with friends, you decide you fin to go

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>higher as somebody and they look at it. Look, look,

<v Speaker 3>Girls, Also, we didn't have a sense of entitlement because

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.560

0:42:46.520 --> 0:42:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't do the.

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said, yes, you know who's the somebody? N you know?

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm gonna say who the somebody is? And they

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:58.960
<v Speaker 1>said it. They I'm just I don't play them type

0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of games. I'm just a straight forward person. And in

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:06.920
<v Speaker 1>its business, this business, it's a lot of phony ballogneas

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>man that you can just tell me no, bro, I

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 1>got tough skin. I don't need the fake and shake,

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and so when you try to handle me like that,

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I get a little I get a little touchy. And

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one that I don't miss worth. If I

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>say I'm gonna do it, that's done. I'm not feel

0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't play a lot. I wish I

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.440
<v Speaker 1>could with people, but I just don't play a lot

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>with with the goofies. I just I can't do it.

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's a lot of them. It's a lot of

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:42.799
<v Speaker 1>people say say things and then act like they didn't

0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:46.359
<v Speaker 1>say it, or because you have more popularity, you can

0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:49.879
<v Speaker 1>throw something out there and people gravitate towards it. But man,

0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I always think about Benny Blanco. You the way you

0:43:55.480 --> 0:44:00.239
<v Speaker 1>handle people, that person is gonna eventually come back, you know,

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:03.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, and I tell people, Man Benny Banco

0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 1>from The Bronx man, that man just wanted to talk

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to him. So I don't even handle young comics like that.

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:13.319
<v Speaker 1>It's certain things I'm gonna tell you. I don't want

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you in the green room when I get there. It's

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not your green room. You know. It's a certain code

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to how I came up. I don't go in the

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:24.440
<v Speaker 1>green room in my home club. If you're the headliner,

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:28.760
<v Speaker 1>until you invite me into that green room, I'm outside.

0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Disrespect It's just a it's just a code. If I'm

0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the feature or the host, I'm not going in the

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 1>green room.

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Man, what if I'm on the show, We'll watch this

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Dick Gregory between each show. He used to sleep, just

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 1>like Damon Wayne's. They sleep in between each show. So

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna keep walking in out of the green room

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 1>while they're in their sleep.

0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Disrespectful, disrespectful.

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:54.359
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't it doesn't make sense. But it's so many

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>people think that they entitled to a space because you

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 1>was there at that club doing the open mic. That's

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the open mic is not the show, but it's it's levels.

0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's levels to all of it and then stand up.

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the barriers have gotten broken due to a

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:18.719
<v Speaker 1>combination of things. When people used to talk about the

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 1>internet comics, they are they taking our they taking our slots,

0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:31.440
<v Speaker 1>just not taking your slot. Way the people who were

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.280
<v Speaker 1>doing sketches, they weren't taking your slot. The comedy club,

0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 1>it was like this, we have a building. Yeah, we

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:45.239
<v Speaker 1>need people, people, we need people, just as can you

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>come on Wednesday and Thursdays. We have Faison Love on Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:53.360
<v Speaker 1>but we're going to make this money on Wednesday and Thursdays.

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And we had a magic show on Tuesday before you came.

0:45:57.800 --> 0:46:00.840
<v Speaker 1>And if I had defense, i had comedy defensive driving

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. I'm trying the doors open so we can

0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:09.399
<v Speaker 1>have a place to do comedy. You was looking people

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 1>was looking at them as skipping the line. No, it's

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:17.960
<v Speaker 1>no skipping the line. In his business. You can jump forward.

0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But then what make you have to come back? Mhm.

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Skill set When you first started, you know how to

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 1>do stand up. You on the screen. Now these people

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that you were that you were getting on the screen,

0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:38.360
<v Speaker 1>now these people right here, there's no added It's like

0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna hey, y'all. Y'all saw what I just did.

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to cut that and I'm gonna come back

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and say something different.

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:46.000
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Then then what happened was the internet guy started getting

0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:56.480
<v Speaker 1>success and then they start big dogging the stand up

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 1>experienced stand up saying oh, I'm I'm making my money

0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you have. But then pandemic happened. Now everybody got a

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>home with their self again because I can't my editor

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and my people not in here. I don't have nobody

0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to do these schedules with. Now. Now comics were Reign

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and Supreme doing that. We just cutting the camera on boom,

0:47:18.600 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 1>what's up baby, I'm here, you know. So that's how

0:47:21.560 --> 0:47:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it now. It's emerging. Now you haven't heard a beef

0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 1>about Internet versus traditional because now everybody's back. You had

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to go to the club and work. They had to

0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 1>come from behind the screen. Then people like me started

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:43.279
<v Speaker 1>using the screen to just promote that I'm gonna be

0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:45.879
<v Speaker 1>somewhere instead of just instead of shutting because I'm I'm

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.600
<v Speaker 1>old school. I'm yo, man, I've been doing standing up

0:47:48.600 --> 0:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty six years. I'm in the trenches. It's different for me,

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and now I have both. You know, now I have,

0:47:56.280 --> 0:47:58.600
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't trying to find out, trying to get

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:01.319
<v Speaker 1>on the way of the algorithm and all that. Now

0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:06.080
<v Speaker 1>pay somebody to do that. But the slapsticks and the

0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>the the shock comics. Now we're back to at least

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>with me, it's back to long form. People told me

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that what they told me they don't really listen to

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that much. They're not gonna watch the whole thing. So

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I started putting out longer than just an hour. He

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, Nah, this is what I want to hear.

0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Now you engaged in the story. If you watch Law

0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and Order, you watched John Wick, why you wouldn't watch

0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:38.719
<v Speaker 1>a series of something that's funny because my only skill

0:48:38.800 --> 0:48:41.200
<v Speaker 1>set is to tell stories the same way that I

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:44.880
<v Speaker 1>grew up hearing them. You know my uncle, that's how

0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:47.480
<v Speaker 1>they started a man, let me tell you about this

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:51.160
<v Speaker 1>big legging lady. I just met you, like big lady.

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Then you you my grandmother. She'll come in and tell

0:48:56.920 --> 0:48:59.520
<v Speaker 1>my aunts. You know. I tell stories just like people

0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 1>in your fan So it's not a it's not a

0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:06.880
<v Speaker 1>magic trick to it. I read books and I listened

0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to the ancestors how they did things, and I try

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to put that together and that's relatable.

0:49:14.360 --> 0:49:17.320
<v Speaker 5>And a lot of people don't have that though, like

0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:18.719
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying, a lot of it's not.

0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 5>It's not it's easy for people like you know, like

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:25.080
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the like internet comics, they don't know

0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:28.400
<v Speaker 5>how to keep people's attention like you can do that.

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:31.239
<v Speaker 5>You're a great storyteller, and like you said, you tell

0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:33.840
<v Speaker 5>it like your family member, like you know, just like

0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 5>people you know, people you grew up here and telling stories.

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 4>People don't know how to do that.

0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.239
<v Speaker 1>I get that's back, and that's when I'm sitting down

0:49:42.960 --> 0:49:45.440
<v Speaker 1>with when the last time you sat down and you

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 1>listen to a story from somebody in your family, like

0:49:48.160 --> 0:49:51.520
<v Speaker 1>an aunt or all the time? Love it? Yes, all

0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the time you got you had it. So if you

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:56.880
<v Speaker 1>were telling the story, you would probably do it the

0:49:57.000 --> 0:50:00.319
<v Speaker 1>same way that you've always seen it done. If people

0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:04.000
<v Speaker 1>have these disconnected families and they don't know a man,

0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:06.040
<v Speaker 1>when the last time you saw your aunt?

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:06.200
<v Speaker 6>What?

0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:12.800
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, nah, I can't wait for my cousins

0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to call me and say, man, let me tell you

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:18.319
<v Speaker 1>what your aunt did yesterday? You almost fell off a boat.

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.439
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna listen to the whole story. I'm gonna

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:23.920
<v Speaker 1>listen to the whole entire story because and then I'm calling.

0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Then I'm calling, oh see you out here falling off boat.

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't even wipe the car. We told you that

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 1>because I grew up with them, with the whole I

0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 1>never did nothing private in my family. If if I

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:41.840
<v Speaker 1>did it, my mother called everybody, and then everybody know,

0:50:42.760 --> 0:50:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean people that you didn't even think and you

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:49.320
<v Speaker 1>mind your own benness, your uncle. So you just around

0:50:49.360 --> 0:50:53.920
<v Speaker 1>here peeing in the bed. Hey, man, we are and

0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:56.279
<v Speaker 1>he man, we we out in the boat. That's what

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to talk about. Now, I'm just saying, your

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:07.600
<v Speaker 1>mama tell me you with every day and I'm saying,

0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you just just pissed through a mattress what you're doing.

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:13.839
<v Speaker 4>And these are still things that people are going through.

0:51:13.920 --> 0:51:16.240
<v Speaker 4>So it's relatable. It's gonna always be relatable. Family.

0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you understand my uncle right now? He don't care

0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing about no. Hey, remember when you used being what

0:51:25.000 --> 0:51:26.399
<v Speaker 1>you So you won't say that in front of my head,

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in front of my head, in front of my children.

0:51:32.000 --> 0:51:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You want to bring that up. I'm just that I

0:51:34.960 --> 0:51:39.719
<v Speaker 1>always went I can't say this.

0:51:39.920 --> 0:51:43.719
<v Speaker 3>Man, just dropped Domino Effect three on May twelfth, oh

0:51:43.880 --> 0:51:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Man and Domino Effect four sixteenth day.

<v Speaker 1>That's right now, I think I'm gonna blow up now

0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't finally got up here and.

0:51:52.960 --> 0:51:55.800
