You can't just 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.440 turn that one on now. But is that why it 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.840 took you ten years to do another special? No, man, 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.080 you know what happened. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.679 I got in the radio, got in and raising the kids. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.400 I was still performing on the weekend. You just have 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.400 to give yourself some space, give yourself a cushion to 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.280 have a balanced life.

And it ain't the shows, it's 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.440 the end between shows. Just you know, the two hours, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.919 the two and a half, the three hour wait for 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.680 you to go back on stage in between shows, sitting 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.840 in a room with comedians and we run out of 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.799 things to talk about and your voice gone, and it 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.440 just that was kind of I just needed I just 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.359 needed a cushion. So I didn't put pressure on myself 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.720 to do another one. I just kept performing in David 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.800 Talbert and Land Talbert. It's like, hey, man, you need 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.440 to do another special. You haven't done one in years. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.519 I said, okay.

I'm playing to a national audience, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.480 like y'all sit here and do this show. Yeah, you 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.680 see one hundred and twenty fifth Street, but you also 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.520 see Highway to eighty on Birmingham in ninety five in Miami. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.960 When you on radio, you you see Baltimore. You see 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.880 see people driving. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.960 On the toll way. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.200 Absolutely so yeah, you you playing to the cameras you got, 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.120 you feel like you got something to prove because you 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.440 haven't done one in a while. So and then we 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.760 took about forty minutes off of it. I produced it. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.680 Yeah, so you say at the beginning, he was like, 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.600 I'm about to be up here for two hours. At 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.400 the beginning of the specially use I'm I'm gonna be 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.160 up here for two hours. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.120 I got it all out. You know, I usually be 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.480 trying to save jokes for the road. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:12.880 Yeah. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.760 Man, I was like to hear it that, I'll figure 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.520 that other part out. Let me just give it all. 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.040 So I laid it all on the table. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.520 That editing process got to be stressful, man. To cut 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.880 it down to an hour, Ye got a whole hour. Yeah. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.680 It was a lot of stuff in there, a lot 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.960 of good stuff. I could take the leftover stuff that 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.160 I didn't use and do a whole nother thirty minute specially. Yeah, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.000 I could, would you do that? Well, what we'll probably 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.000 do is just take some I get some advice from y'all, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.840 because y'all good with stuff like that. I'll probably take 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.840 some of those clips and lick them on the internet 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.640 or whatever. But I owned the license and I take it, 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.960 and I walked it over to Hulu. Kevin Hard was, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.640 you know, negotiating with him, and then Netflix said we 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.440 like it. We'll give you a date for twenty twenty 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.000 six because they already have comedians comedians lined up, and 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.480 Hulu said we'll take it now. And then I thought 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.920 that was cool because Bill Burr and then Roy Wood 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.640 Junior did their you know, roy Wood and we come 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.400 from the same station. We come from both come from Birmingham. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.600 And I was like, well, that's a nice fit. They 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.000 doing comedy now. So they took it and here we are. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.200 What's success to you when it comes to that type 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.320 of special or just getting it out? 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:24.120 Is that just making sure that it's special. That's the thing. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.120 They called them specials. But the question becomes, you want 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.160 it to be special. You wanted to be one that 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.480 you and your mom gonna pull out on Thanksgiving like 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.880 like this special right here. I believe that they're going 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.760 to pull it out every Thanksgiving and every Christmas. We're 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.320 going to sit down and watch the special. Not a 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.680 lot of cussing, maybe one of two cuss words. You 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.680 can watch it with your kids. They can get by 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.640 that one or two cuss words that I use. And 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.200 you know, every Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's gonna be something 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.480 that people will watch, just like they watched Little Darryl 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.640 and How You do that there with the Basic Good Charlemagne. 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.640 I had that in there. We had to edit it 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.640 out because I couldn't get ten percent, so we'm own 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.479 ten percent of that song. We could not find them 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.760 to pay him wowow or whatever. But the Thanksgiving in 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.560 the Christmas part of it is my favorite. Tommy Davison 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.280 facetiming yesterday, still laughing at one joke about the midget, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:21.080 and it just wiped him out. He went from we 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.480 was at the Mbrov in Hollywood. Tommy Davison went from 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.960 table to table repeating this joke while he was still 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.000 showing on the screen. He wouldn't sit his ass down, 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.960 and he was going from table to table just repeating 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.240 a joke and I just sat back to Tommy. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.639 It's a lot of funny shit. I like, she call herself, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:47.600 try and push it. That is so true every uncle. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.199 Yeahl mamas don't play that. No white people say, oh 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.680 my god, my daughter's gay. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.960 You know the black Mama's where Brianna? 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.600 She's not calling herself liking pussing. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.359 That's how today ship though. So that's when you find 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:04.919 out about that. 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.399 All people missing because nobody asked you. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.119 We asked where it is. Why does she have to 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:14.479 say them? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.200
