Speaker 4: what you said that people might get be offended by it,
Speaker 4: just felt like it was coming from a good place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be all right. That's the problem, man. The
Speaker 3: comedy is just everybody is too sensitive right now. We
Speaker 3: need to get back to the nineties when comedians did
Speaker 3: what they did. Eddie Murphy Robbers still funny. I don't
Speaker 3: get offended that nothing. Eddie Murphy Delirious is funny. Fox
Speaker 3: Jamie Fox Martin Arni, those specials, Mark Curry, all of
Speaker 3: those specialist are still funny.
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 3: Are we just in a counsel culture? And on this one,
Speaker 3: I just say what the hell I want to say
Speaker 3: and just have fun with the audience. The audience that
Speaker 3: came out to see you, they say we want you,
Speaker 3: and that's what I gave them want.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want a young kid to watch Eddie Murphy
Speaker 4: Rod deliver, especially a young Remember the LGBTQ.
Speaker 1: You got to ease into that one. You can't just
Speaker 1: turn that one on now. But is that why it
Speaker 1: took you ten years to do another special? No, man,
Speaker 1: you know what happened.
Speaker 3: I got in the radio, got in and raising the kids.
Speaker 3: I was still performing on the weekend. You just have
Speaker 3: to give yourself some space, give yourself a cushion to
Speaker 3: have a balanced life. You know, do radio, you know,
Speaker 3: do shows or whatever. But then uh push the kids
Speaker 3: on the swing set and just have some fun and
Speaker 3: enjoyed life and sit on the beach a couple of
Speaker 3: a few weekends instead of shows on a Saturday, two
Speaker 3: shows on a Friday. And it ain't the shows, it's
Speaker 3: the end between shows. Just you know, the two hours,
Speaker 3: the two and a half, the three hour wait for
Speaker 3: you to go back on stage in between shows, sitting
Speaker 3: in a room with comedians and we run out of
Speaker 3: things to talk about and your voice gone, and it
Speaker 3: just that was kind of I just needed I just
Speaker 3: needed a cushion. So I didn't put pressure on myself
Speaker 3: to do another one. I just kept performing in David
Speaker 3: Talbert and Land Talbert. It's like, hey, man, you need
Speaker 3: to do another special. You haven't done one in years.
Speaker 3: I said, okay. We put it off and we was
Speaker 3: on the boat swimming with sharks. He said, man, excuse
Speaker 3: me my life. He said, I want to put some
Speaker 3: cinema on your zid like that you curse. I currently said,
Speaker 3: say I'm gonna put some cinema on your ship. I said, okay.
Speaker 3: He said, when you look at Eddie Murphy, raw, Eddie
Speaker 3: Murphy delirious, He said, I want to shoot your you know, say,
Speaker 3: you haven't been presented the right way. You did comedy
Speaker 3: specials on Comedy Central and on all these other shows.
Speaker 3: He said, but man, we got that. We got to
Speaker 3: do you right. So I was like, cool, and we
Speaker 3: did it. We shot it, did three shows, and uh,
Speaker 3: it was fun. I had a good time. If I
Speaker 3: had one critique, I just felt like I, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it just kind of felt like I had something to prove.
Speaker 3: And I think I should have just took a deep
Speaker 3: breath and just relaxed a little bit. When I go
Speaker 3: back and look at it, you know, you your own
Speaker 3: worst critic. You hear yourself on the radio, You're gonna
Speaker 3: turn the station. You ain't gonna sell and listen to you.
Speaker 3: I can't stand and listen to prove to you. Just
Speaker 3: felt like you just have something to prove, like you
Speaker 3: coming out like like that nigga come down.
Speaker 1: It was like a walking apark.
Speaker 6: He was like an uncle at a cookout like you.
Speaker 6: That's why I was gonna ask you, did you write anything?

Speaker 3: you know, you know, helping me out or whatever, giving me,
Speaker 3: you know, punching up the stuff, making it funny and
Speaker 3: performing it. You know, so when you perform the stuff.

Speaker 3: you even taking the time.
Speaker 1: Are they receptive?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 6: The comedian, well, I'm sorry, but she was because she
Speaker 6: did exactly what he because we were all on the
Speaker 6: same exactly what he told her to and she got
Speaker 6: a bigger response.
Speaker 3: Sure did yeah. And man, when she came off State, man,
Speaker 3: we jumping and hugging everybody, like what's going on? I said,
Speaker 3: we had made a critique and I said, hey, you

Speaker 1: Can you coach people when they not funny?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Hey, hey, just don't don't go back on now.
Speaker 1: You can't write jokes.

Speaker 3: to perform it or whatever. Are you just have to
Speaker 3: find that find that whatever that niche is and bill
Speaker 3: from there or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So is it okay for comedians to have writers?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, so because you know some people like now, I

Speaker 3: each other. Yeah, black people got to be air. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Doing the special in Birmingham make you too comfortable?
Speaker 3: Nah, okay, no, because I didn't even realize where I was.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, you know you in Birmingham, but you
Speaker 3: playing to the cameras. I'm playing to a national audience,
Speaker 3: like y'all sit here and do this show. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: see one hundred and twenty fifth Street, but you also
Speaker 3: see Highway to eighty on Birmingham in ninety five in Miami.
Speaker 3: When you on radio, you you see Baltimore. You see
Speaker 3: see people driving.
Speaker 1: On the toll way.
Speaker 3: Absolutely so yeah, you you playing to the cameras you got,
Speaker 3: you feel like you got something to prove because you
Speaker 3: haven't done one in a while. So and then we
Speaker 3: took about forty minutes off of it. I produced it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you say at the beginning, he was like,
Speaker 4: I'm about to be up here for two hours. At
Speaker 4: the beginning of the specially use I'm I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: up here for two hours.
Speaker 3: I got it all out. You know, I usually be
Speaker 3: trying to save jokes for the road.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man, I was like to hear it that, I'll figure
Speaker 3: that other part out. Let me just give it all.
Speaker 3: So I laid it all on the table.
Speaker 1: That editing process got to be stressful, man. To cut
Speaker 1: it down to an hour, Ye got a whole hour. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a lot of stuff in there, a lot
Speaker 3: of good stuff. I could take the leftover stuff that
Speaker 3: I didn't use and do a whole nother thirty minute specially. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I could, would you do that? Well, what we'll probably
Speaker 3: do is just take some I get some advice from y'all,
Speaker 3: because y'all good with stuff like that. I'll probably take
Speaker 3: some of those clips and lick them on the internet
Speaker 3: or whatever. But I owned the license and I take it,
Speaker 3: and I walked it over to Hulu. Kevin Hard was,
Speaker 3: you know, negotiating with him, and then Netflix said we
Speaker 3: like it. We'll give you a date for twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six because they already have comedians comedians lined up, and
Speaker 3: Hulu said we'll take it now. And then I thought
Speaker 3: that was cool because Bill Burr and then Roy Wood
Speaker 3: Junior did their you know, roy Wood and we come
Speaker 3: from the same station. We come from both come from Birmingham.
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, that's a nice fit. They
Speaker 3: doing comedy now. So they took it and here we are.
Speaker 2: What's success to you when it comes to that type
Speaker 2: of special or just getting it out?
Speaker 3: Is that just making sure that it's special. That's the thing.
Speaker 3: They called them specials. But the question becomes, you want
Speaker 3: it to be special. You wanted to be one that
Speaker 3: you and your mom gonna pull out on Thanksgiving like
Speaker 3: like this special right here. I believe that they're going
Speaker 3: to pull it out every Thanksgiving and every Christmas. We're
Speaker 3: going to sit down and watch the special. Not a
Speaker 3: lot of cussing, maybe one of two cuss words. You
Speaker 3: can watch it with your kids. They can get by
Speaker 3: that one or two cuss words that I use. And
Speaker 3: you know, every Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's gonna be something
Speaker 3: that people will watch, just like they watched Little Darryl
Speaker 3: and How You do that there with the Basic Good Charlemagne.
Speaker 3: I had that in there. We had to edit it
Speaker 3: out because I couldn't get ten percent, so we'm own
Speaker 3: ten percent of that song. We could not find them
Speaker 3: to pay him wowow or whatever. But the Thanksgiving in
Speaker 3: the Christmas part of it is my favorite. Tommy Davison
Speaker 3: facetiming yesterday, still laughing at one joke about the midget,
Speaker 3: and it just wiped him out. He went from we
Speaker 3: was at the Mbrov in Hollywood. Tommy Davison went from
Speaker 3: table to table repeating this joke while he was still
Speaker 3: showing on the screen. He wouldn't sit his ass down,
Speaker 3: and he was going from table to table just repeating
Speaker 3: a joke and I just sat back to Tommy.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of funny shit. I like, she call herself,
Speaker 1: try and push it. That is so true every uncle.
Speaker 3: Yeahl mamas don't play that. No white people say, oh
Speaker 3: my god, my daughter's gay.
Speaker 1: You know the black Mama's where Brianna?
Speaker 3: She's not calling herself liking pussing.
Speaker 1: That's how today ship though. So that's when you find
Speaker 1: out about that.
Speaker 3: All people missing because nobody asked you.
Speaker 1: We asked where it is. Why does she have to
Speaker 1: say them?
Speaker 3: Why can't you just say she's in the back room.
Speaker 3: Back then he's calling herself like yeah, Now that was
Speaker 3: the moment they hit the floor.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was funny.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you something about Hulu.
Speaker 4: Do you think the screaming platforms are changing the landscape
Speaker 4: and stand up comedians?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I don't. I don't know a lot about it.
Speaker 3: I'm still learning as I go because my you know,
Speaker 3: my agent, they have to kind of sit me down
Speaker 3: and explain to me how this stuff works because you
Speaker 3: think you shoot especially Okay, let's run it over to
Speaker 3: bet because that's what I'm used to, That's what I

Speaker 3: I just started feeling like I have a fan base.
Speaker 3: I have an audience that loved me and love what
Speaker 3: I do. And y'all don't ever forget this. Stick to
Speaker 3: what you do. You don't have to fit in with
Speaker 3: certain crowds and certain cultures and certain organizations. You don't
Speaker 3: have to fit in. Do what you do. Why did
Speaker 3: the people? Why do people come you? I don't care
Speaker 3: who's funny and how funny they are. You might not
Speaker 3: be as funny, do you. You know, God got you,
Speaker 3: brought you here for a reason. God, like these last
Speaker 3: two years have been the toughest two years of my life.
Speaker 3: I wrote my son's name and birthday on the wrist
Speaker 3: of my arm before I went on stage, because my
Speaker 3: son was a comedian, you know, and my son is
Speaker 3: on the special. So after I say good night or whatever,
Speaker 3: in the credits roll and you gonna see a clip
Speaker 3: of me and me and Brandon on stage and Brandon's
Speaker 3: standing there performing he you know, it shows about five
Speaker 3: minutes of his performance, you know, split screen with the
Speaker 3: credits on the other side. So what a great way
Speaker 3: to honor your son, you know, with us on stage
Speaker 3: together like we was. I had him on stage when
Speaker 3: he was seven years old, telling them Joes, and so
Speaker 3: I would take him on tour, have toys in the
Speaker 3: dressing room or whatever. I raised all my kids in
Speaker 3: the they can tell you what every dressing room look like.
Speaker 3: So it was a blessing to do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you always spoke about feeling brand in his
Speaker 4: presence during performances.
Speaker 1: So how does that spiritual connection your manifest on stage
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's almost like you're doing it for him,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, you're doing it for your son, now,
Speaker 3: my son or whatever. He had his favorite comedians, you know,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, your kids always want to grow
Speaker 3: up try to be different from you. I don't want
Speaker 3: to be like you. My son loved Eddie Griffin. My
Speaker 3: son loved roy Wood Junior and stuff, and uh you know, uh,
Speaker 3: he just had the different comedians that he liked or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: So, uh, he had a whole different style of doing comedy.
Speaker 3: His comedy was more yeah, kind of like thoughtful, a
Speaker 3: mix between roy Wood Junior and Little Real. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. That was that was his host.
Speaker 3: He had a lot more He was a lot more intelligent.
Speaker 4: So did the older comedians.
Speaker 3: He just yeah, yeah he knew, but he just had
Speaker 3: his had his own style you know, of performing whatever.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed him. I miss him, But these last two
Speaker 3: years was really really tough and uh uh, now I'm
Speaker 3: at home being a dad. You got to meet my twins. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're a lot of fun. I got some real daddy's girls.
Speaker 3: And God, just that was a blessing to my life.
Speaker 3: And I thank God gave me those twins as a
Speaker 3: distraction to my grief because I felt like I was dying.
Speaker 3: I felt like I was dying in science. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: felt like I feel like one of these mornings I
Speaker 3: was not gonna wake up. That's how bad it is.
Speaker 3: That's how hurt fun. You have a beautiful family, your babies, man,
Speaker 3: And I don't wish that on nobody. I don't wish
Speaker 3: that on my worst enemy. It's horrible, you know. So
Speaker 3: shout out to all the mothers, all the parents out
Speaker 3: there that had to bury your child and lost chime.
Speaker 3: Keep your kids in sports, keep them in athletics. The
Speaker 3: discipline and the structure matter. We got to learn to
Speaker 3: give kids more of what we had as opposed to
Speaker 3: what we did not have. That's what's ruining kids. If
Speaker 3: you like who you are, then give the kids what
Speaker 3: you had. You know what I'm saying. And I just
Speaker 3: wish everybody the best, and I hope all of y'all kids,
Speaker 3: it's a safe graduate college and going to be productive people.
Speaker 4: I agree with all of that, but I will say
Speaker 4: some of these kids need a little bit more than
