19
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: on those people that put the butter on the bread

20
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: directly or on the pan? No? I put it on

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: the bread, you spread it across the bread, and you

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: make sure. See when when I was broke, you know,

23
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have individual slices of cheese like that government cheese.

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Had to have a knife a jackhammer to get it off.

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: And it took like this playing right here. This ain't

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna do it nine thousand degrees to milk it, you know,

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: to get it to milt. You know, I'm fresh on it.

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: But now I have money, you know, I see you

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: got the individual slice of cheese, the American cheese. Do

30
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: you still eat American cheese or do you get the

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: real cheese down? No, I eat that. I don't like

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: the real cheese. I didn't know that wasn't real cheese.

33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: So please do not tell me that's not real cheese.

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: I just found that out when I was pregnant. Well,

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: please don't tell me it's real cheese. To me, Me

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: and that cheese ain't never had no problems. We ain't

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna have no problem out to leave in your show. Okay, okay,

38
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: why don't you get started making the classic of all classics? Well,

39
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: first thing you have to do when you're doing you

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: got to get the bread right there. And you lay

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: it on there. You get this head with the buttom

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: and you have to come on through here and you

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: have to run it all the way across is evenly. See,

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: some people just put it right here. Then when you

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: eat your grilled cheese, you're sitting there, you gotta spack

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: of butter on there. Cholesterol, hot, blood pressure a lot,

47
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: but that's not a lot of people die stroke right there.

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: So you want to make sure spread it all the

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: way across, just like if it was mayonnaise when you

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: go out to restaurants. So you want those people that

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, you get the butter and you slather it

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: on the bread when they bring it to the table. No,

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I like to do it the same way I'm doing

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: right here. It's like a woman. You want to make

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: it even. You know, you put it all over. You

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: don't want to just give it just a piece of it.

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: If you wanted to have all of it. That what

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing about. And then you throw this down here

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: by yourself. You just put it on a pan. Okay,

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: let me stop back back thinking to mind your business.

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Let me get all up in your business. What was

62
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: going on at the time when you were eating drilled

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: cheese sandwiches because you had to. At what point in

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: my life when I was young my mother didn't cook?

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Is it this one? O? Um? I see I was.

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I was staying out your business. You wasn't. You just

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: had to tell me I turn on the wrong eye

68
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: and I would took you to rest. Um. Younger life

69
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: when I ate girl cheese is my mother worked a lot.

70
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: So this was the only dish that I could cook

71
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: for myself. Now that that in centiment to sliding underneath

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: the baller put two uh butter on a cinnamon on it. Anyway, Um,

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: as I got older to eat it quick meal, give

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: you what you need real good. Don't take the time

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: that you have more money, are you the type that's

83
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440

00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities, they'll they'll switch to vegan or you know, no,

85
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: I think I believe in moderation. I think anything of

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: too much is bad for you. I don't eat any fries,

87
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: fried food, any of it. Um. I try to stay

93
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: As a comic, do you feel like there's pressure on image? No,

94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I think you're juice. Your jokes is the

00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: women are I believe they are black women. My favorite

108
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: thing God has ever put on this earth. I think

109
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: women are my number one and perily black women. I

110
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: really write my jokes to them. Yeah, quite honest with

111
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: So when you first got your start, so you you

112
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: you grew up in in I would say you're saying

113
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: like a low income household four right, We weren't pour

114
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: We just I had a mother and father which you

115
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: know raised man. We was right now you will say

116
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: lower middle class. You know what I mean. We never

117
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: missed for anything or um wanted anything. But we had

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: to planet. But no spontaneous ship like it's going vacation

119
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: at save up for it, that type of thing. See

120
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: what you're looking for now and let it brown a

121
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: little bits it brown right there, put the cheese on

122
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: top of it, butter the other one on there. Didn't

123
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: put that pressure on that. So why comedy, Like what

124
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: was going on where you transitioned to comedy or was

125
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: it like a couple of pivots and landing into comedy. No.

126
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: I was in the military for nine years, and I

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: wanted to do twenty years. But the war broke out

128
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, I on mined on mind

129
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: practicing for war, but you'll talk about fighting for real.

130
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: I ain't your real soldier. You need to joined this

131
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to get out of my motherhouse. Becauld have stayed and

132
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: they see to get shot at. So I had to

133
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: make a decision, you know, his true story. And I

134
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: turn on CNN. I remember like it was yesterday. And

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: you know how they always do the pole where is

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: the best city for black men to be for the best,

137
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, the those opportunities for him to prosper in

138
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the corporate world and anything, And they say Atlanta, Georgia.

139
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: And I've never been Atlanta, Georgia. I say that's where

140
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm going. So I got three of my friends who

141
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: also did mony fight in the war, say, man, we're

142
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta. And we moved to Atlanta, all four

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of us, and shared the two bad room apartment and

144
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: each one of them went to find different jobs. And

145
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: I went out and tried comedy while I was still

146
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: collecting my unemployment from on Sam And uh, when did

147
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: you actually get that inkling that you wanted to do?

148
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: It though it was deep. See I'm not and see

149
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: for me, I don't make plans and stuff. So it

150
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: wasn't no epiphany this is what I want to do.

151
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: It was more of this is the best decision. I

152
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: tell young people all ain't I don't get the pressure

153
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: of what you should do, just put down what you

154
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: shouldn't do. I knew what I wasn't gonna do. I

155
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: an't gonna go to jail. I ain't gonna see I

156
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: no sell No, I wasn't gonna do this. Now everything

157
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: is open. So to get to answer your question is

158
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: comedy was the best decision that day, and a better

159
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: decision hasn't came this way. So it ended up being

160
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: my destiny or would you say your destiny my destiny?

161
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: When you're that as talent as you are, Well, I

162
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: guess what's the difference between purpose and destiny? Because I

163
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: would look at someone like you and be like, wow,

164
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: you found your purpose like you are. You know what

165
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, I'm different with that. I knew

166
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: I was going to be successful anything that anything, once

167
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: I decided what I wanted to do. But comedy is

168
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: one of the hardest, It would say it's not only

169
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: the hardest, but I would imagine you failed quite a

170
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: few times before you were good from the job. From

171
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: day one. You never had a bomb. You never had

172
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: a bomb. I had one hiccup, and this because it

173
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: was emotional. A good friend of my rest in peace. UM.

174
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: He portrayed me at the highest level, and I told

175
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: my agents and everything. Did not let him be on

176
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: none of my shows, No nothing, We don't have nothing.

177
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: And for some reason he was on my show and

178
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: UM who was at North Carolina and ten teams at college,

179
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: UM show and and I had just seen him, and

180
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him since the time that he did

181
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: what it is and it threw off all everything. See,

182
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't write, I don't have a set set. A

183
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: lot of comedians have a set set. I go up

184
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: there and it comes to me, and I followed where

185
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: it takes me and right there, that was one of

186
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: the times that it just didn't come and it was

187
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: it was frustrating, but I waver it through it. But

188
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: the bomb part, Wait a minute, are you still like that?

189
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: You still do your sets like that where you don't

190
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: so when we watch you on Netflix or what have you,

191
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: it's not like a pre I already knew what I

192
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, but it's never UM choreograph. Each

193
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: is to say this, this and this. It's a lot.

194
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: That's why I never watched my UM specials because I

195
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: always know I can come back like damn, I forgot

196
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: to do this. And I finally watched my legendary spot

197
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: um Um legendary special that was done by Dave Chappelle,

198
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, damn, I forgot to put in

199
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: on January six, when I was back back, been like

200
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm i'd be like John walking the back back. I

201
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: forgot all that part. It was a lot of partsitive forget.

202
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: I forgot. You didn't have to do like two different tapings.

203
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: I would assume we had to do too, right, I

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: did too, but it was two different days. One of

205
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: the day well, and Dave said that we did the

206
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: first one and he said, we don't even have to

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: do the second. We got it in one take quick, Yeah,

208
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: and we was there. We got that looks good. Then

00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: um it was called the Comedy Act Theater. It was historic.

233
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: girl to come she came in anything at the show.

234
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: I go up to the owner. I say, man, when

235
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: what time am I going? He said, you were't working

236
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: here there? I said, you said I was gonna work it.

237
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't let nobody open up for Paul Paul and

238
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: I said you did say it. I said, I didn't

239
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: say it. In this comedian who was a good friend

240
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: of mine, stood up to him, say you did tell

241
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: him that his name was Sherman. Golden said, I think

242
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: you did tell him that. So um, he said, I

243
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: didn't tell us. The girl say, see how knew he

244
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: was lying? You know, damn comedian. So I said, that's

245
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: all right. So I called my mother and told her

246
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: what happens to this and this? And my mother that

247
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: she always do get me tough love. She said, why

248
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: are you upset? Whatever I told you? You can told

249
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: you when you're a little boy, you can't get mad

250
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: at a kid that don't let you ride their bike,

251
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: even if they promised you. So why you beat up

252
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: the other boy from not letting them ride your bike?

253
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: You even get your own comedy club or go somewhere

254
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: else somebody else. And that was motivated me to open

255
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: my own company club. I opened up Uptown Comedy Corner

256
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: and closed his club. That's crazy. I was wondering. I

257
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you when when did the comedy club.

258
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: I was motivated to the point that I had nowhere

259
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: in Atlanta to perform and he had the only club,

260
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: and he jerked me around, and I thought I was

261
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna get some sympathy from my mother, and she gave

262
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: me real hard love, like get your own. And that's

263
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: where I happened. And and I in turn, when you

264
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: got my club and called it Uptown Comedy. Yeah, I'm

265
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: still here today. I mean, I don't know no longer

266
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: on a part of it, but shout out to you uptown.

267
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: So but now you go from a comic on stage

268
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: to do in the business. And I'm sure there hasn't

269
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: been like a world one of education that you had

270
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: to pick up or how how did that whole trans well.

271
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: To be honest with you again, I try to tell people,

272
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: which you might look as as a slight or a dish,

273
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: could be the best blessing God that ever gave you

274
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: for me opening up my own club comedy act being

275
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: so strong. He told every comedian in the line of

276
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: black comedian if you work his club, you'll never work

277
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: my club. You can't work your black ball And you

278
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: know you got the biggest club, Minarge open up for

279
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: the first time. So what they did was I had

280
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: to do all the time and didn't have other comedians there.

281
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: When he said that, oh, that's still the rule for

282
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of comedians comedy clubs. You should do that

283
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: all the time. You work and prov you can't work

284
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: the funny Bone, you work comedy store, you can't work

285
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yes, it's it's always because they

286
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: feel it's the competition. So if they're sitting hire, if

287
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: you go over there, pick what's out, and comedians like,

288
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: we just want to work. So they boy caught you

289
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: and they'll tell you right now, if you worked this

290
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: one club, you couldn't worked out and you know that

291
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: was the rule. So they wouldn't come work my club because, um,

292
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to be, you know, excommunicated from here.

293
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: In l a comedy act, you gotta understand, Robin Hurd

294
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: was high the Tories. It was it was the staple

295
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm Brandon club. So now you end up doing most

296
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: of your stand up and owning the club exactly. So

297
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: and nobody wouldn't do it. That's why me and Steve

298
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Harvey is so tight. Called Steve because we was friends.

299
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: I said, none of these mothers would do my club,

300
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: and this and this and that. He said, fun, then

301
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: I do it, and he called me and he came.

302
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: And once he came, he was hosting showtime at the

303
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: follow at the time, and he did My club sold

304
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: him out. Everybody came to see him, but discovered me.

305
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: So from that point on, we was. We was rolling

306
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: and plus we was better. We was uptown. We had food,

307
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: we had that balet service. He was downtown and a

308
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: bad part of town, which was midtown when people are

309
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: breaking in the car. That's why I called my um

310
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: My Club uptown because at that particular time, black people

311
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: wasn't going on to Buckhead. It was staying away from Buckhead.

312
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: It was kind of like Cobb County and Marietta. Now

313
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: that's black people. I've just left Atlanta there there and then.

314
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: But back then, that's when them cocaine and people like

315
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: hit the line, don't bring your black heads up here.

316
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 1: It was Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, and um they told him

317
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: they can't. And I was from Washington, d C. Over

318
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: the hell you say we can't come up here, I'm

319
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: coming up here. So I went on and put my

320
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: club up there and called an uptown comedy Corner. How

321
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: did you finance everything? Well, you know what happened is

322
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: I had this partner, his name was Gary. He was

323
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: doing like um he was. He was doing one nighters

324
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: and one night is is just where you just have

325
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: comedy that night. He was doing them in like Taco

326
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: Max and little Speakeasies and shon. So I said, man,

327
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: we need to open up a club. And he was

328
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: like the club and like hen a black comic. So

329
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: I took him down to the comedy act and said,

330
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: look at this. They got four other people in here,

331
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: two waitresses, no food service, and bad and they used

332
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: the same comics for the whole months. If you see

333
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: this motherfucker this Friday and thurtaty, you don't see the

334

Speaker 1: same act next Friday and hurdy and which is against

335
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: the law in being comedy. So he um he said,

336
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: I ain't beat. So he we both went out and

337
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: tried to get some people to um finance the club.

338
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Of course, I went to all my brothers who's in basketball,

339
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: like Dion. I mean sports athletes like Dion and all

Speaker 1: gave us a half a million dollars to start the club.

349
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: First before he gave us the half a million dow,

354
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: We went down to Birmingham to do a one night

355
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,800

363
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: a half a million hours. And why didn't you guys

364
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: have the Steve Harvey connect at the time. Well, Steve

365
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: wasn't Steve at that part. That was because it was

366
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: before the club. It was he was doing Apollo and everything.

367
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: And plus his manager, Christo Petta, who owned a comedy

368
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: club itself, was it was. It was we could say

369
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: he was our counselor he was our consultant, told us

370
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: where to get the stuff at, how to run a

371
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: club and all that. We know, all the in the

372
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: nuance arounding the club. And he managed Steve at the

373
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: same time. And you know, once we got on our

374
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: feet and everything, we called Steve up and Steve came

375
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: in there for us and we turned it in and

376
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: from that one club, we made it out of Ti

377
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: about four to in Atlanta at one x is No.

378
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Three in Alana, and one in Texas Downars Texas. Wow,

379
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: that's yeah. We was the first ones to ever do

380
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: one nighters for comedy for Black comics. Thank you flavor

381
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: the man. We was the first one down South to

382
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: actually say for tonight, it's gonna be a comedy show here,

383
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: not doing comedy between dancing and everything. Actually tonight is

384
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: a comedy night. Now, most comedy clubs don't. They make

385
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: their money off like alcohol too. Well, the double in it.

386
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: It all depends on how you um um structure to

387
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: deal a person of my status. If you know, looking

388
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: at it, you they probably asked for a guarantee of

389
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: a certain amount of money and a percentage of the board,

390
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: the percentage of the door eighty minus expenses, what I'm saying,

391
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: and then the liquor and the food is the clubs,

392
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: that's how they make their mine. So what did you

393
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: guys have to get a liqualizers? Of course, and that

394
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: wasn't hard to do. So much money. Well, that wasn't

395
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: hard to do because they was white. It would have

396
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: been harder to do for me if I did it,

397
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because the surgeon was like,

398
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: well the surgeon was white, and my partner was what

399
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Gary, he's white too. I was the

400
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: only chip in the cookie of this. So I was

401
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: the only black person bringing to a black um telling

402
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: it was a substitutent. I mean that wanted to see

403
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: black comedy, but I couldn't get nobody black to see it.

404
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: But then, you know, and let me be the callust.

405
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: So I was the phase of the company. I was one.

406
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm in the streets tell him that I'm doing, and

407
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what it needed to do. You gotta understand,

408
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: this is the time Chris Tucker had just started, you know.

409
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: Um Bernie had just was just hitting too, you know.

410
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: So we had everybody every comedian you ever grace no

411
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: stage at my club. My problem, my problem. So we

412
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: and everybody every comedian you ever grace at my stage

413
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: at my club. It was in the nineties. You got

414
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: under stand. That's when TLC and Goodie mob uh Ludicrous

415
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: was on the radio. Stidn't being a rapper? Um it

416
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: was Atlanta when Atlanta was Atlanta. Yeah, And I was

417
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: from out of town and so an opportunity and cashed

418
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: in on. Now, how did you end up staying passionate

419
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: about comedy while becoming like this, like impressive entrepreneur, Like,

420
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: how was it not distracting? Well, it really wasn't, because

421
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't my aspect of the game. I personally, I

422
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: wasn't looking at it the entrepreneurship of it. I was

423
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: looking I finally got a place of opportunity to perform

424
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: and validate to was one of my biggest um hells

425
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: in life. Women black women. Yeah, I am a comedian

426
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: poaching here, I am, you know what I mean. So

427
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: the entrepreneur part of it, and never even I was

428
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: too young to even see that aspect of it, you know,

429
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I was really ignorant to the fact of it. Was

430
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: like I got my own comedy club. I just got

431
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: out the military and then I got a club and

432
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: a hot city that that's bumping. I mean, it's beautiful

433
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: with nothing but us and they party the six in

434
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: the morning. You go over to Dominiques Club, Stay did

435
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: the four, go to Magic City, stay to five, didn't

436
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: go to one twelve, Stay there to eight in the morning.

437
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: And then it was just coming up with this Southern

438
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: music stylistic and big Boy and Andre through thousands tills

439
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: c it was. And you a major player when all

440
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: that ship is happening right there, you got money in

441
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: your pocket. And I never had to stand in on

442
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: line and get in the club and had the highest

443
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: one when Alexis, when Alexis first came out, had two

444
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: of them and living in Buckhead and the penthouse. So

445
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: the entrepreneur part of it, the business I didn't even see.

446
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: I was like ship rock and roll. I'm living all

447
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: that rest that my money packed him. You know, you're

448
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: looking at your partner and you get that in you

449
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: stayed behind the scene. I'll be the front man, and

450
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: we got a partnership. We're gonna get Dr Tom back

451
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: his money. And it spanned on and keep on going,

452
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what it was. When did you

453
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: realize that you had officially arrived, Like was there a

454
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: pivotal moment where you were like, I'm in this game.

455
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm in it. Um. I was at Steve Harvey's club

456
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: because he had his own club after you, after you,

457
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: I want minds first, and then he had his. I

458
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: think that's how I went correctly. But his was huge.

459
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: He held about fourift people mines on him, about two

460
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: n He had his own and it was in Dallas.

461
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: So I did for him what he did for me.

462
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: I came to performing his club and it was all

463
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: love at this point, no no competitive, no part of

464
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: me was like, oh, now he's opening club after I

465
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: opened the club. I'm just trying to understand. But you don't,

466
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: you know, you don't even see that when you're in

467
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: the midst of having a great time one thing about

468
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: to be a hater, you have to pay attention. I'm

469
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: not paying attention, you know what I mean. I don't.

470
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't have no time to be looking at what

471
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: you're doing trying to get what I'm doing. To to

472
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: hate on somebody, you must pay attention to what they're doing,

473
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: you know. So that's not me. So I'm in the

474
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: me what I'm doing. I came out of the military

475
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: of you know, represent the United States, and now I

476
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: have self proclaimed but for myself of my name, enabled

477
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: into the greatest city and found a hustle, to be

478
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: quite honest with you, that was paying a lot of

479
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: money that I I was born with. I didn't have

480
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: to work at. I didn't have to just it was

481
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: they was paying me for being me. So when we

482
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: first get that, like, all right, So I didn't know

483
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: what my talent was until I went to Steve's club,

484
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: and then I learned the business of the game. Because

485
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: you get on stage based upon your credits. This man

486
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,560

504
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey has been Steve Harvey since day one. He

505

506
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: go last, he go last. So we're sitting back all

507
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: together comedians doing say, man, you really want to go

508
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: to talk to him? You know I'm who I am.

509
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: You might want to go up and tell him. You

510
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: know that I should hosted. You don't want that, I said, Man,

511
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling her nothing. And you know he said that

512
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: to me, the one that wasn't. Yeah, what he was

513
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: saying was, I'm gonna make it easier for you. You

514
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: should go ahead and go because if you go behind me,

515
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hell for you. You know, you're gonna

516
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: get boozed and it's gonna be an ass whoop. And

517
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: that's that's that's what you're don't know. So as leg yeah, yeah,

518
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: they're still a lot of community. If you put communities together,

519
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: we already know who's supposed to go in, and if

520
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: we see somebody with inferior talent behind, we look at

521
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: him saying, hey, you better say something. But if you

522
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: don't want to say thatthing going out there, because see,

523
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: all the credits you have don't matter. When you hit

524
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: that stage. You get the employer and you get the

525
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: patience for the first five minutes, but after that you

526
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: gotta bring that work, and it's right there where you

527
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: differentially between who's funny and who has titles, who's a

528
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: movie star but used to be a comic, who's the

529
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: TV star who used to be a comic, you know,

530
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: but who still is funny today? So the equalizer on

531
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: the stag, on the on the stage and speak for itself.

532
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: And that's what I was saying to him. I said, listen, man,

533
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: I ain't saying nothing. You heard what he said. If

534
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: you don't like where it is, then you go up

535
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: there and tell him. And he said, you know how

536
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: black people say I hate, then see when they tell

537
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: you I hain Then I mean, I gave your warning.

538
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: You're about to get it. So as a comedian, you

539
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: can sit back. I'm sitting in the back of the

540
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: room and just looking and I mean, this motherfucker putting

541
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: emphasis on every joke. Hey, you can tell a boy,

542
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: he well, you could think the cameras is on like this,

543
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: this is only wanted the documentary. I just looked at

544
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: him and said that ain't that ain't gonna be enough.

545
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: So I hit him on Wins and hit him on

546
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Thursday and hit him on by Friday. He came around

547
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: the saying goddamn conclusions. He was like, man, who are you?

548
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: Who aren't you? And me and Steve still talk about

549
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: that to the day, but I'm gonna tell me who.

550
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: Steve has given me that type of UM reinforcement encouragement

551
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: a lot in my career. So that's when I knew.

552
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, okay, I can really do this. This

553
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: is an option if I want to go down this row.

554
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: I got this. I'm not saying that's where I want

555
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: to know. That's why I when you know Chris, Chris

Speaker 1: if that's what I wanted to do, you know what

570
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean. So I just kept on playing. And then

571
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: as I started seeing when I had Steve in my

572
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,440

596
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: never had to go to college. Soon as he was born,

597
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: he was destined as the chosen one. He was in

598
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: there from fourteen fifteen and they he was here. So

599
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know nothing that much about him or know

600
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: anything about it. Like I told you, I was in

601
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: my own world, having a good time in Atlanta. But

602
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,759

00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: And I said, well, you know how much we're paying him?

00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 1: you know today now we need to call these coon something.

640
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: We gotta get something to ruggatory. They're having the biggest Tommy.

00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: I gotta no goodness, no good don't you don't flow

642
00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: off the tongue. Backstabbers, backslibbers, you know, put it in

00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: the center centers. Get off of my port, you back stammer.

00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: nigger rolls off the tomb. Get on you, nigger nigga.

646
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: I grabbed a bott of champagne, said that boy is great,

647
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: and it was a respect of the intellect of the joke.

648
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: And that's what I try to write. It's serious, but

649
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: you make it funny, but it's sister. Lets you know,

650
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: how did they come up with that? And look how

651
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: you put it in a community away so you can

652
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: digest it without being offended by and it's a beautiful

653
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: craftic when you're able to put that together. He was

654
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: doing that at an early age and he told me

655
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: that was the first time that he had worked a

656
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: joke out or told that joke was at my club,

657
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's still one of the best

658
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: jokes having And you got to say that, Oh, Billy Bob,

659
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: how does it feel now having the Dave Chappelle Presents

660
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: on Netflix? It was career to find it career changing

661
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: And you're not understand my number one constituents who support

662
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: me as my people, and the support is there's no

663
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: words to even tell my gratitude for it. But professionally,

664
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: on the point is when you don't do mainstreams rooms

665
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: such as catcherizing, Star, comedy seller, comedy store, the people

666
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: who can elevate your career at a higher level don't

667
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: come where I tell my jokes at. Yeah. See, I

668
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: my constituents, my people, so I go where there we're

669
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: there they have and I entertained them well. But unfortunately

670
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: they don't have no TV shows, they don't have no

671
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: movie deals. So you just have to accept that, you

672
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean? If you notice most of our stars,

673
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: you never seen them mother us until they was presented

674
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: to you in the show. So only your bernies and

675
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: the means and anything you've seen us come through your

676
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: neighborhood to get to that platform. Is that why you did?

677
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: Everybody hates Christ and all those guys, and no, I

678
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: just took advantage of the opportunity that was given to me.

679
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: Chris put me on the show, and he presented the

680
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: opportunity and he shared the plate which they knew he

681
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: was great, and he said, hey man, I know somebody

682
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: y'all might not have heard of him telling he's great.

683
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: Put him on. And that's the same thing they've done

684
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: for it. Because if you're not in that circle, like

685
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: I said, but forming in front of them, or have

686
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: somebody in the room to say, hey man, this is

687
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: motherfucker's funny and they believe in it, you could be

688
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: as funny as the fun you want to be. You

689
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: still ain't gonna get a shot on ABC. None of

690
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: the major curious because we don't own anything. Even when

691
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: we own BT, we didn't own by or even when

692
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: we're like running it and we're not, we're not running.

693
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: They're still not a student, not the game. They still

694
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: don't you know, they put BT up like comic. We

695
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: don't give our opportunity for you know, the comedians in

696
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: our community, but you still pick the motherfucker's who came

697
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: up outside of our committee. Don't disrespect to them because

698
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: you don't go down and go down to Compton to

699
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: find out who's performing at the club down and Compton.

700
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: That's killing you know what I mean? Why do you

701
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: think that is um job security? Faith afraid to um

702
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: make the wrong move because your decision you make with

703
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: the opportunity you for. So to be a decision maker,

704
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: you need to go with something definite, safe, that's safe

705
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: yours and plus, to be quite honest, you don't have

706
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: the authority to give a shot to somebody else on

707
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: that you need. You have to bring a name person

708
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: for them to give you the okay you can do it.

709
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Do you think that's why it seems like that Steve Harvey,

710
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: the Dave Chappelle is there. I feel like all those

711
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: comics of that genre, and it could be just that

712
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: they all kind of came up at the same area.

713
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,479
Speaker 1: But from an outsider, it looks like they you guys

714
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: all stick together and support each other and pull like

715
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: if if someone's not being recognized, you kind of like

716
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: pull them over the fence. Like now that they're out

717
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: the hole, they're you know, they're like, I'm gonna throw

718
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: you a line. You deserve it, you earned it, but

719
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw you the line since these other people

720
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: can't see it. Well. Most great comedians understand. One thing

721
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: only different between each great comedian is that one great

722
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: comedian got an opportunity and then cashed in on it.

723
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: There's so many difference. Once you get to the opportunity

724
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: and you cash in on it's more opportunity to come in,

725
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: and if you're not egocentric and you're not sitting there

726
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: worrying about it, you say, hey, man, this man is

727
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: just as great as me. Y'all need to check him out.

728
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: And those people down that opportunity thinking you're all great,

729
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: because like, hey, what about him? See him and you

730
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel about giving him an opportunity that you struck

731
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: so hard to get, Gonna keep you from getting more

732
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: opportunity again that that I mean that you're gonna get.

733
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: And that's why most great comedians and the people that

734
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: you speak to d L. S or Steve Harvey, your

735
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: Bernie is your centric at the time, Chris rock Um,

736
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: Dave calv they don't mind giving it to it because

737
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: they understand once they was giving that opportunity. You know,

738
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: people are say, what was your big break? It ain't

739
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: calling big break? When was your great When did you

740
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: get an opportunity and you cashed in on it? That's

741
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: what it is, ain't it ain't No fucking thing is

742
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: a big break? What an opportunity came in and your cash?

743
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: Then on Jordan's Game for six three g he appathy

744
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: took the shot, he made the shot. The whole world

745
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: was there to see it. He submitted, Wow, that's that's

746
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: a great way to look at it. Actually, it's the

747
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: only way to look at I mean, because it's honestly,

748
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: because you're dealing with something that's subjective. What's funny to

749
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: you might not be funny to me. So I had

750
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: always people come to me that quick, why ain't you

751
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: never you don't want no TV show, You ain't got

752
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: no movies. I said, ain't like I turned the ship down.

753
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: I just hadn't had the opportunity to cash in on it.

754
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: And that's all it is. Do you write for shows ever? Oh,

755
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: is there a reason why you're against it? Because you

756
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: just said no, Like you're adamant too much time in

757
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: writing for somebody else for yourself every day? Is it

758
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: like if I had to be like a fly on

780
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: the news, watch what's going on, going on, and then

781
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: formulate my opinion based on the information I get. Like

00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: the joke of January six, watched it first thing, I'm like, boy,

Speaker 1: a step up because I'd have been like pat shooting man,

786
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,879

788
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: sitting down now side form it and you take that

789
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: and you run with it, and you just add other

790
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: stuff to that initial thought. Now side formulated, and once

791
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: the thought has evaporated, you go to the next story.

792
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: When do you retire a joke? When do you say,

793
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: you know what, fine? The world can have it? Um

794
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: min as always of it? Because I get tired of

795
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: saying it. And plus other stuff that happened. Yeah, Like,

796
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: so I know you have a lot of shows coming out.

797
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: Another plug um during everything with donniell Rolins get comes

798
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: see us. I want to come to your show. And

799
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: so of course I was asking. I was asking the

800
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: earthquake before we were taping. I was I was like,

801
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, are you gonna say the same jokes? Because

802
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: a lot of comedians they say the same jokes, you know,

803
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: while they're working it out before they go to take

804
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you know, if I were to go

805
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: to your show, what am I going to see? Am

806
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: I going to see the same material that I have seen?

807
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: And your response was no, that's blasphemy. Yeah. The rule is,

808
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of comedians they know

809
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: whose is. Once you put it on TV, it's gone.

810
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: So you can't do it live. You don't suppose to

811
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: do a lot. You might say something from it or

812
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: very o that for some people that want to hear it.

813
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: On that point, but the totality of the set should

814
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: never be we ever be done again. So if if

815
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: you see comedians say a joke on video when you

816
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: go to the club, you shouldn't expect to see that

817
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: same job. I agree with that. No, No, that's the rule.

818
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: That's the rule. That's the rule. What are some comments

819
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: that you sold that number two years so we're not

820
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: singers can't come back? And do you know you're not

821
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: being honest that you can't go around and senior first hit.

822
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: Once you release it, it's gone. For me, I had

823
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: always replace them every year because I was going to

824
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: the same city every year. And they're not gonna pay

825
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: you another forty dollars for the forty dollars they paid

826
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: for the jump the phone. And if you don't have

827
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 1: TV movies, which I didn't have, and you're just getting

828
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: your your crowd and your audience, your constituents coming off

829
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: a word of mouth, you have to not only satisfy

830
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: the people who coming to see you again and raise

831
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: their expectation, but also meet the expectation of people who

832
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: they referred you to to tell you come see them,

833
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: so you don't have the luxury and say, girl, you

834
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: know him. You know he was in Frinday. Yeah, girl,

835
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: you know he's in Blackish. You don't get none of that. Yeah,

836
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: he's funny, and you gotta be funny. And black people

837
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: the hardest people to make laugh and coming that moment

838
00:48:54,280 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: just make me laugh the ship I can been doing

839
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: you over here with this bullshit that I could have

840
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: wrote this bullshit? Who are some of your favorite up

841
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: and comers that no one knows that you've been peeping? Oh,

842
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: let's give let's give the up and comers some love.

843
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: Let's see who you got who got your eye on

844
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: that we should be looking out for. I'm bad, that's

845
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: a bad question for me. I don't watch the comedians.

846
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: You don't what about your friends when I when we

847
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: work together, But when you're in the club, have you

848
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: gone out and seen somebody on stage where you're like okay?

849
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: Or you just hang out in the bath room. No.

850
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: The only reason why, I mean, I'll hang sometime, but

851
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: I hear a little bit and go because see, I

852
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: don't write. So when you're on right and you're coming

853
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: off of your head, you want to keep your thoughts pure.

854
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to hear somebody else and watch theirs

855
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: and then's I constantly think you came up with it.

856
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: So the way to keep it that way from me

857
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: is I don't listen to nobody. That's so every joke

858
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: to come out of me came out of me. There's

859
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: no way I could have because I don't. I don't listen.

860
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: I feel like you're the jay Z rap. You know

861
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: you hear how jay Z like wraps in he doesn't

862
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: write his stuff. That's how you are, Yeah, the same way.

863
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: When I heard that from like Damn, that's that's why

864
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, I said, we come to the same formally

865
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: to get our product by saying manufacturing way to come

866
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: to release talent. And it has always been that way

867
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: for me. I have never I tried it when I

868
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: first got into comedy, writing it down and rehearsing it

869
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: and to think about a joke. For me, it's not

870
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be. I just had to let it flow. So

871
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: you don't have to practice practice practice, I know, you know.

872
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: What I have to do is just be the best

873
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: of me and then take one take quick. But what

874
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: it is is like when I was doing for my

875
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: legendary show, I mean taping, I just said, I let's

876
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: let's let's just get shot and then give me what

877
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: day I'm be there and I'm gonna be my shoppers

878
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: and then I deal with the result. What I do,

879
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: it's not I don't I don't try to sicco certain

880
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: perfection on what they that is not what I just

881
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: try to be the best I can, the funniest I can,

882
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: and then you tape it and I deal with the

883
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: results of that. After being in this game a long time,

884
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: do you see it as work? No? I mean, like,

885
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: are there moments where you're like, oh, I gotta go

886
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: on the road, because of course, I mean it's the

887

889
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: like I was one time. I was feeling that way,

890
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: and then I've seen this homeless dude. I swear that

00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: looked at him and I seen him, and then it

896
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,120

00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: to throw me off, and then I'll be talking about

913
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: that all night. So I already know is so I

00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: have to I have to keep it still sanitized. I

915
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: have to keep my my mood great and when it

916
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: needs to be. And that's why I'm talking on the

917
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: phone four hours before a show. So I don't want

918
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: you to mess with my my point of view. Yeah,

919
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: I could get protecting that mind space, especially if you're

920
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: not writing, and you have to protect that energy. You

921
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: don't want anything to put like you don't want to

922
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: get in a fight or argument with someone right before

923
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: you go, Oh, I didn't when I was married, man,

924
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: and I'll be up there talking nothing about the marriage

925
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: the whole So I'm like, damn, I don't see the

926
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: light come on because of light indicate you that did

927
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: your time? Like damn, its minutes the whole moment. It's

928
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: been killing, but the whole thing. And I say to myself,

929
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: that ain't even what I wanted to talk about. And

930
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: then I even though even though it killed, they killed,

931
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: But then I gotta find that point of view again,

932
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I gotta I gotta will

933
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: I was talking about what's that? What else it? Oh yeah, okay,

934
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: okay okay, And that's why I take all my shows too.

935
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, um yeah, so I protected that over the years,

936
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: have learned to do that, and it's now it's definitely

937
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't talk to nobody because there's big states now yesterday, prices,

938

00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: to that guy that didn't put you up in the club. Yeah,

941
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: they're doing a documentary. Asked me to be in it.

942
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: Are you serious? I don't say no. I tell anybody,

943
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: I'll do anything for you as long as you tell

944
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: the facts. As long as you tell the truth, I'll

945
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: be a part of your documentary. Say you're the one

946
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: they turned quite down and he went and got them,

947
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: and I'm being your documentary. Tell the fucking truth. And

948
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: are they going to be able to say that you

949
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: shut down their club? And I don't know what they say,

950
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: but tell the truth. Just whatever I tell that for

951
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: any like women, anybody that's in my life, I'll be.

952
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: I will participate and your what it, your your book,

953
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: your movie, anything that I came because I am never

954
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: been ashamed of anything I have done. And I don't

955
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: know why what I've done, what I've done and the

956
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: things I have done, I had the reason to do it,

957
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: and I'm good with it, and everybody else can make

958
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: their decision. And I'm the type of person to be

959
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: quite honest with you. Nobody's opinions matters to me but God.

960
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: And so if me and him cool with it, who

961
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: the funk are you? So I don't, I don't. I

962
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: don't get caught up in that. And so when he

963
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: came with me and asked me to be in there.

964
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: I said sure, and I told him the same thing.

965
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: I said, down and tell the truth. Long as you

966
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: tell the truth. Now, now at blows it off. Say

967
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: what you did? And you is? You know you was?

968
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: The mother said quite couldn't in there, and and it

969
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: was a good move because it had you not did that,

970
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have got my own club. So I'm not

971
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: mad at you. Not only I'm not manage you. I

972
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: would never be managed you because you don't determine my

973
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: futures even with by not letting me perform in your club.

974
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: How dare I think something that you did to me

975
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: will mark me in my life? You ain't shit, So

976
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm not that dude. One thing I noticed about comics,

977
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: and this could be an observation that could be totally

978
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: wrong with, but some people will say, well, comics are

979
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: Maybe some people say comics are sad on the inside

980
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think the common denominator from what I've

981
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: seen close up to knowing some being married to one,

982
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: having a brother, this one meeting you guys, I feel

983
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: like comics are honest. I feel like they love the truth,

984
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: like they thrive very well in the truth. I mean,

985
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: they put a sarcastic twist, but I feel like, for

986
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: some strange reason, they are able to handle the truth

987
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,959
Speaker 1: on a significant level, whereas the rest of the world

988
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: like how You're like, I just want the truth? Do

989
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: you do you feel like that? I mean, some people

990
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: call self dedication and you know that what it truly is.

991
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: We acknowledge what it is, and we said, that's why

992
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: I said, these ain't jokes. From people be laughing at

993
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: the stuff I said, I'd be like, these ain't jokes.

994
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: But comics are some of the most hurt people in

995
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: the world, and a lot of no they are. Is

996
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: it because they're dealing in truth, well, dealing with there.

997
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: What I personally feel is they're dealing with their shortcomings

998
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: and their paying and they're sharing it. And the best

999
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: way it's didn't laying on the couch telling one person

1000
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: and being charged a hundred dollars an hour. They were

1001
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: ever stand on the stage and tell all y'all, charge

1002
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: y'all a hundred dollars an hour. Wow, that's interesting. That's

1003
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: a good way to look at it makes sense. Yeah,

1004
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: lay on this couch another person who don't know you

1005
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: read some books using your generosity, I mean generalization of

1006
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: what do you think you is? What the diagnosed? Or

1007
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: stand on that motherfucker and let it all. Y'all say

1008
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: hear it? And I sit there and I reanalyzed it myself.

1009
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: I ain't get paid for it. That's just our point

1010
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: of view on it. I don't you know, I know

1011
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: this mother a PhD. But ship, we'll make him smarty.

1012
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: Don't know me, motherfucker. You don't know what it is

1013
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: to have your brother do this to your brother, do

1014
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: this to me speculating, Well, let me get all these people,

1015
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: let them here and laugh at it. We're laugh at

1016
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: my ship together, and I get paid for free drinks

1017
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: and food. I remever take this one with that one.

1018
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: And if I need medication, who got the cocaine? Got

1019
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: the practice action? Because we find our own the liquor

1020
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. And um what I'm saying

1021
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: is to um medicate. You know, I don't demons like

1022
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: everybody else, so self prescribed. We don't go to the

1023
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: doctor and go to CVS. We go see old Lego

1024
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: in the bag with the ball. Yeah, I mean that

1025
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: that that kind of sucks over. Yeah, that's life. I

1026
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: mean a lot of my funers ain't going with this.

1027
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: Just say they suppress it, camouflage, they deny it. Then

1028
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: you want to choking you at three o'clock in the morning,

1029
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: well before we close out out the stage, tod you,

1030
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna choke it out and get on my net um.

1031
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: What advice would you give to any comics trying to

1032
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: get in the game, Be original and work anywhere that

1033
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: you can work. You mean in comedy or like burking, No,

1034
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: in comedy. Like for me, I used to go to bands,

1035
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, they had live bands, you know, band take

1036
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: a break. I used to go to the the bar

1037
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: like hey man with a band, take a prey. I

1038
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: tell these jokes and entertain them, and it's changed for

1039
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: fifty dollars something to drink this and and that's what

1040
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I do. So it gave me more stage, more different

1041
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: than different crowds, different formers, different lists, and that I

1042
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: got a drink, got fifty dollars every back. Then all

1043
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: the hotels had bands and ship like that, you know,

1044
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: a little them sing and all that, Hello, We'll take

1045
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: a break to be right back with you. I go

1046
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: in there and saying, let me do it. That's how

1047
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I did it. That's what I tell him. Anywhere, that

1048
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: you can stand on stage and develop your craft among

1049
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: people who don't that you will never come in in

1050
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: there or in that life without you being on that stage.

1051
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: That's the best one because you'll find out your talent

1052
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: is universal and it could be you can go anywhere.

1053
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: That's brilliant advice. I'm sure a lot of comics would

1054
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: not think to do that. Well, they don't want to worry. See,

1055
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm a thirty knight. I'm a thirty year overnight sensation.

1056
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Overnight success in thirty years.

1057
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a long time. Thirty years. I mean you're thirty eight.

1058
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was eight when I did it, you

1059
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I was gonna spend these thirty

1060
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: years doing something, So why not this? You know what

1061
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean? The person told me a long time ago.

1062
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: My mom used to say so. The friends said, uh, well,

1063
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna go get my low degree time I

1064
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: get finished. And I had the sixty five and my

1065
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: mother said, well, how old would you be without it?

1066
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Your mom's dope. She said, well, ain't it better to

1067
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: be sixty five with it than without it? Because you're

1068
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna be sixty five periods shout out. So she was like,

1069
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: what you mean too late? It is never too late

1070
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: or it took too long. This was gonna be the

1071
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: time anywhere. This is what she was doing in the

1072
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: time that God has giving you. So I never ever

1073
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: looked at it was too late. And the greatest thing

1074
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: about it, I always knew. The money never go down.

1075
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Uh they supposed to. We started at free. No, whatever,

1076
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: they can get the next dude who the top monther

1077
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: get mold than that. That's how it works. It works

1078
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: that way and entertainment, so the money go down. So

1079
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: you have to be honest with yourself and see them

1080
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: and say, hey, am I'm not as funny as they are.

1081
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: And if you feel you all and you just be

1082
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: cool too, they come to your name till it's your turn.

1083
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: They call the eaves. But what if someone doesn't feel

1084
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: like they're amongst the great yet, like they're just starting

1085
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: out there? Like media, you know, you don't have to

1086
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: be great. You just have to be confident and your

1087
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: greatness it's not um validated by commercial success such as

1088
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: TV show, movies and Arenas I tell the comedians all

1089
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: the time, quality is not quantity. Quality is not quantity.

1090
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: In other words, just because one got ten thousand people

1091
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: don't mean it's a better comment than me and my

1092
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: three other people. Yeah, I'm just as funny as this mother.

1093
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: It's just more people know about him than I do,

1094
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: so I never look at him. You know, you know,

1095
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: quantity is not quality. Just because you can bring thirty

1096
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: thou people to come and see you don't mean you're

1097
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: a better coming for me that I can only bring

1098
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: three hundred. Yeah, that's true. It's just that you got

1099
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a better way of getting out to the people to

1100
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: let them know you, to come see you, to see that.

1101
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: And if we look deep in it, somewhere along the line,

1102
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: you had an opportunity that you cast in which opportunity

1103
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. That didn't give me on the high level

1104
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: for them to see that I too have the same

1105
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: qualities that you have to justify the same quantity. You know,

1106
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: quality of people to come and see me. So you

1107
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: keep your quality up and eventually you'll get the quality

1108
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: it ac come and and and the best advice I

1109
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: can give you, this ain't the reason you get in

1110
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: the game. To be a comedian is your first thing.

1111
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I just want to make people laugh. And if you

1112
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: achieve that, then you are all that. You said that reason,

1113
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: that's the only reason laugh. That's what the community is.

1114
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you laugh. The money comes along with it.

1115
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: I have friends all the time. I tell them, if

1116
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: you put as much time as you do and the

1117
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: women as you put in your jokes, you will be

1118
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: a star. Women are the result of the joke, not

1119
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: the motivation for the joke. So a lot of communities

1120
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: get on stage just to get the women. No, you

1121
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: get on stage to be funny. The result of being

1122
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: funny equals the woman. You don't get up there, let

1123
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: me be funny, so the woman come get you. And

1124
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: most of them comedians never win because they lose when

1125
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: I say the essence of it, just to be funny,

1126
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: when you're just sitting in your bathroom with them, with

1127
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: your tooth for us telling the joke and the murdering,

1128
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: sitting down and you were just waiting at that point

1129
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: for it to be funny. I drove from my house

1130
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: all the way down to this club, put my name

1131
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: on the list, waiting, you know, saying you're joking your

1132
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: mind a thousand times. It's gonna work. And this is

1133
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: how it gonna be and you get up there and

1134
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: they work this ship right. Then one minute turned to

1135
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: two minutes. That's what you're in for ever return for

1136
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: doing that at a higher level, then all the other

1137
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 1: actually all other things come not right first. Man, I

1138
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: gotta be a comic, so I can't get me a

1139
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: te huge in them, and those usually fizzle on down. Wow. Wow,

1140
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: you're deep. Legends are deep. Well, thank you so much
