Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, living at home with my folks?
Speaker 3: I ate good, yes they I'm talking about a meal every.
Speaker 1: Day, but like three meals a day.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say like that. It just was decent meal.
Speaker 2: It was a full meal.
Speaker 1: Did you grow a poor two pair of household?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't poor, but I wouldn't rich.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like middle class family for.
Speaker 3: My neighborhood, I guess because my mom was a teacher.
Speaker 3: She taught second grade for like twenty years, and then
Speaker 3: she became assistant principal for like fifteen. My dad was
Speaker 3: a fireman and a paramedic. So we was cool, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But it was it was five kids,
Speaker 3: so you know, yeah, so you know it's we weren't poor,
Speaker 3: but you just don't get every damn thing.
Speaker 2: You won't you're not spoiled or whatever.
Speaker 3: But I did not miss anything. I didn't land for anything.
Speaker 3: So you know, I don't have one of those poor
Speaker 3: ass stores. You know, my lights was on, we had washing,
Speaker 3: dry your cable, own room.
Speaker 1: Get your own room. Kid. You didn't have to share.
Speaker 3: Nobody, no, I'm telling you. But okay, well, two of
Speaker 3: the kids wasn't in the house. My mama had a
Speaker 3: son and my dad had a son before they got together.
Speaker 3: So my dad's son was with his mom, and my
Speaker 3: mama's oldest son was gone.
Speaker 2: He was grown like he was.
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah that's okay, you got yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just three of us in the house. Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, no, I was we you know,
Speaker 3: it's good. My mom and dad are still together thirty
Speaker 3: seven years to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now let's go back to Okay, you're on
Speaker 1: your own getting the meals every day.
Speaker 2: That's when I moved to Atlanta, to pursue my comedy career.
Speaker 1: And where are you from?
Speaker 3: Originally I'm from the Solda, Georgia. It's like two and
Speaker 3: a half hours south of Atlanta. Okay, so that's when.
Speaker 2: I started the struggle meals, you know, where you're on
Speaker 2: the budget and ship like that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was cooking anything then that that you
Speaker 3: could just throw in some hot grease or in the oven. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's where the chicken came from. As you can
Speaker 3: see it, it's still thawing out. This is the tys
Speaker 3: uh Tyson chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's pre cooked, so all you have to
Speaker 1: do is really heat it up. I try to, I
Speaker 1: try to.
Speaker 2: See why do you answered your own question?
Speaker 1: So you were pursuing comedy. Yes, where did this stuff
Speaker 1: for comedy come from?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, to be honest, I've been infatuated with
Speaker 3: comedy my whole life, but I never wanted to do it.
Speaker 3: It was never If you asked anybody that knew me
Speaker 3: growing up, they would never tell you that I said
Speaker 3: I wanted to be a comedian. Now, if you was
Speaker 3: paying attention, you may say, okay, that was something I
Speaker 3: see it. Because I've always been obsessed with I never
Speaker 3: wanted to watch anything else.
Speaker 2: I never cared about anything else.
Speaker 3: Well, I take that back. I was obsessed with it
Speaker 3: as a kid, but when I found out that it
Speaker 3: was actually medicine, that's when I became infatuated with it.
Speaker 2: It heals you, and it.
Speaker 3: It saved me from a lot because I had a
Speaker 3: real dark childhood and.
Speaker 2: It saved me. You know what I'm saying, it was,
Speaker 2: it healed me. It was so when I saw what
Speaker 2: it could do for me and what it could do
Speaker 2: for my dad.
Speaker 1: Can you said you had a dark charleshood?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: I had a Okay, Well I was bullied a lot
Speaker 3: in school, not beat up, just you know, picked on
Speaker 3: because of you know, I didn't I wasn't like all
Speaker 3: the other kids. I was always different. I just I
Speaker 3: carried myself different. I moved different. And then you know
Speaker 3: what your mama being the teacher and stuff. At school,
Speaker 3: it's just you know, they just find shit to pick
Speaker 3: on you about. So that was one thing that my
Speaker 3: daddy was really really, really really hard on me growing up.
Speaker 3: Marine just you know, so I was dark a lot,
Speaker 3: But when I saw comedy made him a nicer person.
Speaker 2: I used to go out and find it just to
Speaker 2: keep him from whipping my ass.
Speaker 1: You would go out and find the tapes or DVDs whatever.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I wasn't studying it because still at that moment, I
Speaker 3: didn't want to be a comedian.
Speaker 1: But you were finding the content to give to.
Speaker 3: Him to play, just to get him in a better mood,
Speaker 3: because he had so much on him. He was just
Speaker 3: always just this mean, mad person, and comedy was the
Speaker 3: only thing that took him.
Speaker 2: Out of that.
Speaker 3: That was the only thing that took him out of that,
Speaker 3: that made him the person that we wanted to be around,
Speaker 3: made him, made him smile, made him laugh.
Speaker 2: And that's something we didn't get to see.
Speaker 1: Did everyone else catch on to that secret medicine or
Speaker 1: was it just you and you didn't share it with
Speaker 1: the whole house? Like yo, if we get a bunch
Speaker 1: of comedy around him in a better.
Speaker 2: Mood, it was nothing that I had to share.
Speaker 3: It was just I think everybody just pretty much called
Speaker 3: on because it was very obvious, like what makes my
Speaker 3: daddy happy or what.
Speaker 2: Makes him laugh?
Speaker 3: So first I would just pay attention to who made
Speaker 3: him laugh, and then I would try to go out
Speaker 3: and find comedians that would make him laugh, like RNASJ.
Speaker 3: He won't make it through a whole RNASSJ set because
Speaker 3: he's gonna die. He loves RNAs J and a lot
Speaker 3: of the people who's on Coming View. So whatever Coming
Speaker 3: View used to come on, I would go back in
Speaker 3: his room and watch it with him and kind of
Speaker 3: take notes of whatever comedians made him laugh, and then
Speaker 3: I'll go out and try to find like whatever they
Speaker 3: was on, like if I catch them on the cover
Speaker 3: of a DVD, or I'll look him up on the
Speaker 3: internet and see what type of show that might be on.
Speaker 3: And that's when my love for comedy just really skyrocket,
Speaker 3: because not only is he watching it, I'm watching it too,
Speaker 3: And it was.
Speaker 1: Just did it become like a bonding experience between.
Speaker 3: The Bose view, Yes, because he, to be honest, he
Speaker 3: introduced me to comedy. Like part of me believe he
Speaker 3: wished he could have been the comedian. He just didn't
Speaker 3: do it because my dad had to go to prison.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, like three years old. He
Speaker 3: was a police officer and he wasn't the most on
Speaker 3: his police officers.
Speaker 1: So very much, so.
Speaker 3: Very very much so. But in fact, since you brought
Speaker 3: up training day. His partner was a white guy who
Speaker 3: rolled over on him. He got caught doing whatever they
Speaker 3: were doing, so they gave him chances, you know, say
Speaker 3: he did it and gave him immunity. So my dad
Speaker 3: had to go away for a little while. He came
Speaker 3: home and we came home. He he was on some
Speaker 3: other type of comedy like I like again, I was
Speaker 3: always obsessed with it as a kid. So before him
Speaker 3: introducing me to the raw comedy, I was looking at
Speaker 3: stuff like mister Bean and Samford and not Sanford and
Speaker 3: Son because it's difference. Like I would look at whatever
Speaker 3: my grandma would watch. When he came home, he put
Speaker 3: me on the Dolomite, you know, Rudy ray Moore, he
Speaker 3: put me on Burnie. He put me on the Red
Speaker 3: Fox albums and not just him on TV and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. That's when I saw it was a different
Speaker 3: Eddie Murphy other than you know, Beverly Hill Cops three
Speaker 3: or whatever. That's when I saw the you know, first
Speaker 3: two Beverly Hill Cops, Trading Places.
Speaker 2: Forty eight hours and stuff like that. And then that's.
Speaker 3: When, like I said, that's when I really just fell
Speaker 3: in love with comedy for real, that's all I ever
Speaker 3: wanted to watch. That's all that ever intrigued me, to
Speaker 3: be honest. Okay, but yeah too some all of that
Speaker 3: up it was medicine.
Speaker 1: Okay. So then you move out on your own? Is
Speaker 1: this after high school? After?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a while after high school because up
Speaker 3: until my senior year in high school, I wanted to
Speaker 3: be an attorney.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do nothing because I don't like attention.
Speaker 2: I'm shy. I'd just rather be in the background. I
Speaker 2: wanted money. I know that.
Speaker 3: I always knew I was gonna do something, even as
Speaker 3: a kid. I knew I was gonna do something on
Speaker 3: a grand scale. I just didn't know what it was.
Speaker 3: So it was like we had a senior project. I
Speaker 3: don't know if everybody do it, but at my school
Speaker 3: we had a senior project. And doing the senior project,
Speaker 3: you had to I think like at the end of it,
Speaker 3: you go into the library and apply for colleges or
Speaker 3: something like that. And it was my turn to do it.
Speaker 3: And we're sitting in front of the computer and the like,
Speaker 3: choose three schools that you're interested in going to, and
Speaker 3: I did not have one. I want to be a lawyer,
Speaker 3: but I don't want to go to school, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm tired of it, like for real, like I'm tired
Speaker 3: of school. I don't feel it anymore. And I'm the
Speaker 3: type of person I'm not gonna waste time. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna waste money. So I'm like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: not going. And all the teachers was like, you think
Speaker 3: your mama gonna allow that because they knew her, they
Speaker 3: co worked or whatever, and right at this moment, she's
Speaker 3: an assistant principal, right, So.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I really don't give a fuck.
Speaker 3: It is what it is, So you know, I it
Speaker 3: wasn't a conversation that I was just ready to have
Speaker 3: with my parents. And by that time, anyway, I wasn't
Speaker 3: even staying in my parents' house anymore. I had moved
Speaker 3: out with my grandma because me and my dad just
Speaker 3: wasn't getting along, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 3: didn't really care what anybody thought.
Speaker 1: It was. To deliver the I'm not going to college
Speaker 1: news from the grandma's.
Speaker 3: House too, well, I would have delivered it from anywhere,
Speaker 3: because you can't make me go. But my daddy wanted
Speaker 3: me to go in the Marines anyway, because.
Speaker 2: That's what he needed.
Speaker 3: But I felt like I've been living with him all
Speaker 3: these years. I've been in the Marines, so ain't it
Speaker 3: needed me going.
Speaker 2: My mama?
Speaker 3: Surprisingly, she was like, school ain't for everybody, okay, but
Speaker 3: you gotta do something.
Speaker 2: But it was you know.
Speaker 3: I've watched her get her master's and and you know,
Speaker 3: leadership degree and stuff like that, and I just knew
Speaker 3: she was gonna be like, oh, I wanted you to
Speaker 3: go to school. I had so many plans, but nah,
Speaker 3: she was like, do something, so I ain't gonna lie it.
Speaker 3: I got out of school two thousand and six. I
Speaker 3: didn't move to Atlanta and start pursuing my dream until
Speaker 3: two thousand and twelve. I just used that time to
Speaker 3: find myself because I didn't really didn't know who I was.
Speaker 2: I really still don't.
Speaker 1: But and in that time, were you working regular jobs?
Speaker 2: I worked maybe three regular jobs before I figured that
Speaker 2: I was not a good employee.
Speaker 3: I worked at a cell phone company that's back when
Speaker 3: Sprint and Next Tail.
Speaker 2: Had the churchs Remember that, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I worked there for a little while and then it
Speaker 3: went out of business because it was at in the mall.
Speaker 3: So that store went out of business and I just
Speaker 3: was like fuck it. I went and got a job
Speaker 3: at Dealers in the mall and I was selling men
Speaker 3: and women fragrances in the mall, and that's what my
Speaker 3: love for fragrances, you know, kind of took off also.
Speaker 3: But I worked there and after Dealers, that was it.
Speaker 3: And that's when I really.
Speaker 1: Began to kind of make a choice.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, somewhat, I started doing other ship. That's
Speaker 3: when I you know, kind of dabbled in the streets
Speaker 3: a little bit. Well I wasn't selling cologne in the
Speaker 3: streets then, but no, yeah, I ended up catching some charges.
Speaker 2: I beat the charges, and.
Speaker 3: That's when I just, you know, it's like it's I
Speaker 3: know what I need to do now because I wasn't
Speaker 3: good at nothing else.
Speaker 1: And what what did you what was that decision? Comedy?
Speaker 2: Yes, because it was I wasn't good at nothing else.
Speaker 3: It was just like I could not eat without thinking
Speaker 3: about comedy. I could sleep without thinking about coming it.
Speaker 3: It was just that was it. It had become my life.
Speaker 3: It had taken over. So I knew I had to
Speaker 3: do it because it was like I really believe in God, like,
Speaker 3: I'm a firm believer. So I knew, like I heard it,
Speaker 3: I knew it was a conversation. I knew he was
Speaker 3: talking to me like you go and do it, Go
Speaker 3: and do it. But I just was trying to do
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do and I ended up getting
Speaker 3: in trouble. I beat those charges.
Speaker 1: And that's when you made the decision.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was like I made a deal with God.
Speaker 3: I was like, you get me out of this. I
Speaker 3: go and do what you want me to do, okay,
Speaker 3: And he got me out of it. So I knew
Speaker 3: not to play with it. You know, that's one person
Speaker 3: you don't want to renig on the bed with. So
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go and do it.
Speaker 3: And it's the only thing that has ever worked out
Speaker 3: effortlessly to be honest.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you start, well, first of all, I'm going
Speaker 1: to pretend like I'm guy. Start cooking the chicken. Please start.
Speaker 2: You get me in a conversation. I go talking all
Speaker 2: goddamn y chicken. Yeah, because I was about to say,
Speaker 2: you know, I just used to put mine in the oven.
Speaker 2: I never just this is fancy to me. I don't
Speaker 2: have to didn't I didn't have time for all of this.
Speaker 3: I just used to want to put mine in the oven,
Speaker 3: go back to my blunt and watch TV.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, look you're using the butter knife and everything.
Speaker 1: Use one of those. Uh, I'm I'm gonna stay out
Speaker 1: out the kitchen.
Speaker 2: And just hey, I was about to say, who cooking
Speaker 2: this chicken meal? You? I'm fucking this cat? You hold
Speaker 2: a tail.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you start off in comedy and you said
Speaker 1: it was effortless, as in, like your first time going.
Speaker 3: Up, it was great, yes, and that was I couldn't
Speaker 3: get that laughter out of my head and I knew, okay,
Speaker 3: that's what I want to do for the rest of
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: So you got the laughter going, but did how was
Speaker 1: the money going with the laughter?
Speaker 2: The first show?
Speaker 3: It was good because I was still standing avon, but
Speaker 3: you're still I still I.
Speaker 1: Was talking about how was the comedy laughter in the
Speaker 1: comedy money.
Speaker 3: Not that I wasn't making comedy money when I first.
Speaker 3: I didn't make any money until ten years.
Speaker 1: Okay, ten years, no money, no money.
Speaker 3: Everything is you get paid in exposure or favors and ship.
Speaker 2: I didn't make no money for ten years.
Speaker 1: Okay, And during that ten years, what are the your
Speaker 1: group around you saying at that time, what do you mean.
Speaker 3: What group like the group of comedians, I mean few.
Speaker 3: You had some that was encouraging. Of course, you had
Speaker 3: some that would tell you, all, you need to go
Speaker 3: to the military, or you need to get a job
Speaker 3: or get a you know, learn a trade or some
Speaker 3: ship like that. Now those are the same ones that,
Speaker 3: God damn it, I knew you can do.
Speaker 2: It, and I'd be like, you do that, yeah, because
Speaker 2: you don't want you don't want me to reply.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So during those ten years, are you still
Speaker 1: selling Avon?
Speaker 2: No? Hell now, because I caught charges trying to sell Avon.
Speaker 1: And your first comedy show.
Speaker 3: I did my first comedy show at home. I didn't
Speaker 3: do it in Atlanta because he's forced to get on stage.
Speaker 3: Because people in my neighborhood they knew I was funny,
Speaker 3: and they knew I.
Speaker 2: Wanted to do it, so.
Speaker 3: They put a show together because they knew I wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna leave the streets so long to go do it.
Speaker 3: I was the fast money. Is that That's all I
Speaker 3: really gave a damn about.
Speaker 2: Wasn't money.
Speaker 3: So it was a guy who I'm actually related to
Speaker 3: he was. He was in a military and he was
Speaker 3: doing something up here in Atlanta. He ended up going
Speaker 3: to uptown when it was on Marieta Street, and that's
Speaker 3: when Cato was hosting like every Thursday night or every
Speaker 3: weekend or something like that. He got Cat up to
Speaker 3: come to our hometown to do a show. So he
Speaker 3: was like, I'm gonna put you on it, but they
Speaker 3: gonna do the rest of the show. So in order
Speaker 3: to get people to buy the tickets, he put me
Speaker 3: on the show. Okay, So he was like, you know,
Speaker 3: we're just gonna give you, you know, five ten minutes
Speaker 3: to go up front and then you know, that's it.
Speaker 3: So I got my set together. I did not like
Speaker 3: the first set at all. It just was horrible to me,
Speaker 3: and I started looking at interviews my favorite comedians and
Speaker 3: all of them said the same thing, be relatable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just went back to the drawing board.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: And the first when I got on stage and delivered it,
Speaker 3: I fucked around and said a joke twice, but it
Speaker 3: was everything else was good, and I knew then all right, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gone.
Speaker 1: Okay, So ten years you're in the game doing comedy
Speaker 1: at what point do you start making money. When does
Speaker 1: the transition happen.
Speaker 3: Like twenty seventeen, that's when I started doing just like
Speaker 3: rant videos.
Speaker 2: I was ranting about whatever would annoy me.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you know, the videos a go viral and
Speaker 3: you'll get a few slick ass comedians who are headlined
Speaker 3: and thinking that, Okay, if I get a viral person,
Speaker 3: I can throw them on the show and the tickets
Speaker 3: or sale or whatever.
Speaker 2: And it don't work like that in the beginning. Anyway.
Speaker 2: You got to really create a fan base, so.
Speaker 1: You start going viral off.
Speaker 2: These yes, just ranting about whatever would annoy me, and
Speaker 2: it it worked.
Speaker 3: But I mean that's where I started to build a
Speaker 3: fan base. When I started doing the my six hundred
Speaker 3: Pound Life videos.
Speaker 1: That's when it just skyrocketing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know why people like that shit.
Speaker 3: It was nothing that I planned to do.
Speaker 1: Sell the backstorround. How you got to the six hundred Pound.
Speaker 3: Life COVID when it shut everything down and comedians couldn't
Speaker 3: get out and do comedy, we just it was just
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: It was almost like sexual frustration. Now you can kind
Speaker 2: of duck off somewhere and relieve your sexual frustration. But
Speaker 2: you that that that comedy itch.
Speaker 3: You can't do it if you have a nice following
Speaker 3: and you can go live on social media that kind
Speaker 3: of like amn, like or jail, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Temporarily relieve it, but if you really just gotta get
Speaker 3: it off you, you gotta do something more.
Speaker 2: So again, I had started to rent.
Speaker 3: I would just sit in my car and smoke and
Speaker 3: just talk to the camera, just go live with you know,
Speaker 3: with my followers. But I ended up one night I
Speaker 3: was I was actually getting ready.
Speaker 2: To do that. I was rolling up a blunt.
Speaker 3: I was about to go outside and go in the
Speaker 3: car and do my video. Well, my godson was with
Speaker 3: me because they was out of school. He was already
Speaker 3: like familiar with the show My six hundred Pound Life,
Speaker 3: so he was watching it. So it caught my attention
Speaker 3: some type of way. I don't even remember, but I'm
Speaker 3: looking at it and I'm giving my a disopinion about it,
Speaker 3: not even knowing that he, you know, live or whatever
Speaker 3: he was doing. So the video that he did ended
Speaker 3: up getting like thirty thousand views within a day or two.
Speaker 3: He don't even have any following or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So I was like, I would have tried on my
Speaker 3: own shit just to see where it goes. So the
Speaker 3: first time I did it, he got like a million
Speaker 3: views in a day and a half, but it's probably
Speaker 3: thirty hours, to be honest, it's even a day and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 1: So so the light bulb went off.
Speaker 2: I mean it was yeah, it was more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can say that, because it was like, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna do it now to take advantage of this shutdown,
Speaker 3: you know, because everybody's just tired of that. Everybody has
Speaker 3: binge watched everything that nobody's mai paying attention to TV,
Speaker 3: so it's whatever's on the phone. And that's when a
Speaker 3: lot of people, you know, really popped off during COVID
Speaker 3: time because everybody was just looking at social media and
Speaker 3: shit like that. So yeah, I was just like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna take advantage of it while we're just
Speaker 3: sitting here, you know, stuck.
Speaker 2: In the house.
Speaker 3: And then it became a demand like I would go
Speaker 3: live just to go live, and then you would see
Speaker 3: people in the comments saying, oh, we thought you were
Speaker 3: watching TV or I'm like, well fuck me, then I
Speaker 3: don't you know, I don't matter you want me yelling
Speaker 3: at the TV, so that's all they want. When I
Speaker 3: really saw how crazy it was, I sold like five
Speaker 3: hundred tickets in Birmingham just so people can come and
Speaker 3: watch me yell at that shit.
Speaker 2: They don't give a damn. I would do an hour
Speaker 2: and a half of stand up on stage. They love it.
Speaker 2: But that six hundred pound life, Oh that's what they're
Speaker 2: come for.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Does that still shocking to this day?
Speaker 2: Yes? I am yes.
Speaker 1: Is it a little frustrating because you have this comedy
Speaker 1: that but then you have this like accidental hyper niche.
Speaker 2: It is to a certain extent because.
Speaker 3: It's more to me than that, and it was never
Speaker 3: supposed to just beat that. I don't want nobody thinking that,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm really that mean person who you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, but it is what it is. I
Speaker 3: just don't want to be stuck doing that. I want
Speaker 3: to be putting right. Yeah, I don't want to just
Speaker 3: be doing gathering at the TV or doing six hundred
Speaker 3: pound life content because like I say, again, it's more
Speaker 3: to me than that. But if that's what gonna keep
Speaker 3: those tickets, I will yell at that motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: That I need.
Speaker 1: Does it start to feel like work after a while.
Speaker 3: Nah, it's fun because I, like I said, I never
Speaker 3: really just worked before. I've had a few jobs. I
Speaker 3: don't I don't do anything that feels like work. I
Speaker 3: don't scratch unless I itch now, don't dance unless I
Speaker 3: like to beat.
Speaker 2: So I'll go it.
Speaker 1: Out, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I ended up selling Avon.
Speaker 1: So you ended up going back to selling Avon.
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about back then.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it really didn't matter, Like I didn't
Speaker 3: have to you know what I'm saying, keep working.
Speaker 2: I just chose to do that because I'm not a
Speaker 2: good employee. I don't want to feel like I'm working.
Speaker 2: I don't want to answer to anybody.
Speaker 1: So so now your income is mainly off of just
Speaker 1: comedy and the reviews of these shows.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I would like for you to say that again,
Speaker 3: that is where my income come.
Speaker 1: Why you saying that, like you're still.
Speaker 2: But no, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even have the desire to do anything else,
Speaker 3: to be honest, I'm too scared now. It's like when
Speaker 3: I beat those charges, it was like the judge just
Speaker 3: took my nuts and pride to he was.
Speaker 2: Like, give me them.
Speaker 3: You don't need them anymore because I'm not doing that ship.
Speaker 3: They took me through the wire. I went all the
Speaker 3: way to the end. I've seen people cop please, I've
Speaker 3: seen people tell on people and everything to dodge the
Speaker 3: type of ship I was on. But it was just
Speaker 3: this belief I had, like I ain't going to jail.
Speaker 1: But you didn't get to experience, not one day.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: When I first caught the charges, yeah, get jail. I
Speaker 3: had Okay, all right, fuck, it's public record.
Speaker 2: I had possessional cocaine.
Speaker 1: I love anytime someone says, fuck it, let's go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's I had possessional cocaine, possessional
Speaker 3: fire aggravator, Salt'm the police officer, attempted to elude obstructional
Speaker 3: officer Tampa with evidence, abandonment of a dangerous drug.
Speaker 2: And was that seven or eight? Because I think I
Speaker 2: had eight.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot out have been scared, Okay,
Speaker 1: making deals with Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you that that I didn't
Speaker 3: know what I did was gonna give me all those charges.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking because I got yes, trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of the evidence.
Speaker 2: That's when I.
Speaker 3: Learned that you can get one charge and get too
Speaker 3: because obstruction of officers.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you edit officer, what is obstruction of.
Speaker 3: No obstruction officer anytime you are obstructing them from doing
Speaker 3: their job, like if you lie to them. But no,
Speaker 3: I ran from him. I pulled off, Yeah, because I
Speaker 3: had a.
Speaker 1: You had a gun on you too, right.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, everybody know cocaine and drugs don't mix. The
Speaker 2: cocaine and guns don't mix. You got you can get one,
Speaker 2: but you wonn't getting both of them off me. So
Speaker 2: he wanted both. So I drove off with his ass
Speaker 2: hanging in my window.
Speaker 1: And that's how I get that hanging in your window.
Speaker 2: Yes, hanging in the window. I will get the damn.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say you were driving
Speaker 1: and try to chuck it.
Speaker 3: Out, and then I beat these charges. There's no double jebbidy.
Speaker 3: I can tell you the story. He pulled me over,
Speaker 3: but he already had some file ship on his mind
Speaker 3: because he knew I sold dope. So he just figured, oh,
Speaker 3: got your answer to pull you over to day and
Speaker 3: see what you got on you. So when he pulled
Speaker 3: me over, he kind of like he didn't come all
Speaker 3: the way up on my car, and he kind of
Speaker 3: turned his car to the right a little bit so
Speaker 3: the camera wouldn't get everything. I didn't know that until
Speaker 3: I saw the dance camp when my lawyer got to Discovery.
Speaker 3: But anyway, he walked up to my car and he
Speaker 3: cut his recorder off coming up to my car, so
Speaker 3: he came up straight to my car. He's like, what
Speaker 3: a gun is with a dope at and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I got a gun or two in Hire, but I
Speaker 3: don't know about because it was legal. I had a
Speaker 3: legal gun, but the cocaine ain't legal, So of course
Speaker 3: I admit to the gun. So he was like, he said,
Speaker 3: I had one of my guns between my seat and
Speaker 3: my emergency break. I used to always keep one right
Speaker 3: there in case I can grab right here, and I
Speaker 3: had one of my door because I had to grab
Speaker 3: over there. So he was like, for my safety, stick
Speaker 3: your hands out of the window so I can reach
Speaker 3: in and get the gun.
Speaker 2: So, Risks, you see how small my shit is.
Speaker 3: I stick both my wrists out the window like this
Speaker 3: so he can get the gun. No, lie, He put
Speaker 3: one hand around both my wrists and he leaned in
Speaker 3: and he grabbed my gun from between the seat and
Speaker 3: he put it on top of my car.
Speaker 2: This point, my sun roof is open because it's a
Speaker 2: sunny day. I'm just riding. But all right, go back? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: not then, not then.
Speaker 3: So so he was like when he looked when he
Speaker 3: reached in to get the gun, he had, well, then
Speaker 3: you go back a little bit more. When he first
Speaker 3: pulled me over, I was so nervous. I took the
Speaker 3: dope and put it in my pocket. At this point,
Speaker 3: them slim tight ass five O one levives were popular,
Speaker 3: and when I pulled my hand out of my pocket
Speaker 3: about that much of the plastic came out too. So
Speaker 3: when he reached in to get the gun, he saw
Speaker 3: the shit because I'm turned like this, So he sees
Speaker 3: the plastic hanging out of my pocket, but he don't
Speaker 3: see the dope because all of it is in my pocket.
Speaker 3: He see the plastic, so he like he come out
Speaker 3: sniffing hard as fuck. So he was like, is that
Speaker 3: marijuana hanging out of your pocket? Still holding my wrists
Speaker 3: start to look.
Speaker 1: I be damn, you didn't say that.
Speaker 3: Yes I did to myself, yes I did. So he
Speaker 3: was like, he says that marijuana hanging out your pocket.
Speaker 3: I said, no, it ain't marijuana. He said, what is?
Speaker 3: I said, bir and you let me out? I jake
Speaker 3: you everything.
Speaker 2: Just let me know. I went to run so I
Speaker 2: can get rid of it.
Speaker 3: But I'm in the middle of no fucking where. I
Speaker 3: mean nowhere, cotton feels and everything on the side. If
Speaker 3: I run, I ain't going nowhere. I just want to
Speaker 3: get this ship off of me. So he was like,
Speaker 3: I can't let you do that. So at this moment,
Speaker 3: and this is a true store, I don't give a
Speaker 3: fuck when nobody say.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: So you didn't tell him that there was a second gun.
Speaker 2: It wasn't his business. He'll find that if he would
Speaker 2: have let me get out, But that we have to
Speaker 2: get to that.
Speaker 3: So I know everybody have seen these movies where God
Speaker 3: just come in at the last minute and it's like
Speaker 3: he just opened the sky and the sun shine down
Speaker 3: on some ship. On my mama, I fucking I promise you,
Speaker 3: I swear to God. This is what happened when he
Speaker 3: telling me he can't let me out. It's like God
Speaker 3: made the sun shine even brighter through my sun and.
Speaker 2: Shine on my gear shield.
Speaker 3: I was so on my gearshift to get I was
Speaker 3: so goddamn nervous when he pulled me over. I never
Speaker 3: put my car in part. I'm sitting there with both
Speaker 3: feet on the damn break.
Speaker 2: Oh no, this real shit.
Speaker 3: So he's standing out his hand on my hand telling
Speaker 3: me he want this cocaine, and both of my feet
Speaker 3: on the break, and it's been still in.
Speaker 1: Dry and wait wait, wait, and his head still in
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 2: Right he should have got up. So what happened?
Speaker 3: Well, he had a chance to move though, because we
Speaker 3: was in the grass and I had an Audi a
Speaker 3: four back then the front wheel drive, so it's spinning
Speaker 3: in the grass.
Speaker 2: He said, what you're doing? Say you better move. He's
Speaker 2: still front of Hold my shit.
Speaker 3: I took my knee and got the wheel in the
Speaker 3: front wheel and on that pavement and slump that motherfucker again.
Speaker 2: I see you.
Speaker 3: So he jumps back, runs to his car. Mind you,
Speaker 3: I told you he parked back a little because he
Speaker 3: was on some bullshit, so he had a little bit
Speaker 3: to run back.
Speaker 2: I'm already around the curve.
Speaker 3: I bite the top off the plastic and pour the
Speaker 3: dope out, and then I get up the road a
Speaker 3: little bit more and drop the bag because you might
Speaker 3: a wall.
Speaker 2: Just keep the dope if you're gonna throw the dope
Speaker 2: out in the goddamn bad.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you're think it's smart, but no, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's all gone. I ain't that fucking smart. That's how
Speaker 3: I know. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: I would have thought that far, but go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I wasn't thinking that far. My heart beating fast as fuck.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3: When I finally get rid of the dope and the
Speaker 3: gun rolled down my fucking windshield and off the damn.
Speaker 2: Car, I'm like, nigga, you're running from the police.
Speaker 3: And at that moment when I said that, I saw
Speaker 3: police coming in front of me, his ass was behind
Speaker 3: me and his side rode come and the police in
Speaker 3: front of me was from a whole another county. So
Speaker 3: I know I'm not going to cross this yet, So
Speaker 3: I just pull over and get out the car because
Speaker 3: I got the dope of me not whatever. We can
Speaker 3: take this templally one of them, so I can take
Speaker 3: this attempting to you, lou and whatever. Just give me
Speaker 3: that shit. That's what I'm thinking. So when I got
Speaker 3: out of the car with I do what I see.
Speaker 2: People do on TV. I get on my knees and
Speaker 2: hold my handle. He said, get on the grind. Said
Speaker 2: I'm on the ground. He said, lay on your Stoma said,
Speaker 2: all right, don't shoot me. So he came up. He
Speaker 2: hopped on my back. He put me a handcus he
Speaker 2: just ripped it through my pocket. He said, where is it?
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know what you're talking about. He said,
Speaker 3: where is that plastic? I said, may have no guydamn plastic.
Speaker 3: He said, why did you run? I said, because you
Speaker 3: were trying to choke me. So that moment I did
Speaker 3: not know. He cut his recorder off and he did
Speaker 3: not get it on camera. That's just me saying shit.
Speaker 3: So the other cops that's coming behind us, they pick
Speaker 3: up my gun that fell out the car.
Speaker 2: And the cops that was in front of us, they
Speaker 2: pulled up, asked everything all right or whatever because it's
Speaker 2: out there jerseydiction anywhere. They were just gonna cut me
Speaker 2: off or take over if I crossed over into the count.
Speaker 2: So they turned on and went out. They wait went
Speaker 2: on about their way or whatever.
Speaker 3: The dude who's coming from the side, he went back
Speaker 3: to look for the dope. And the guy who bought
Speaker 3: my gun. He went back to look for the dope. Now,
Speaker 3: mind you, I told you I pulled it out of
Speaker 3: the bag.
Speaker 2: It was one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was over it. So what happened was they
Speaker 3: went back. They came back and said the only thing
Speaker 3: we found was a gun. There's no dope on the road.
Speaker 3: No marijuanda, no cocainet.
Speaker 2: No nothing. Okay, cool, thinking that's it, buddy, take me
Speaker 2: to jail. He charged me with.
Speaker 3: Not then no, he charged me at that moment it
Speaker 3: was attempting to elude obstructional officer. Aggravator saw on the
Speaker 3: officer because he was hanging out of my window when
Speaker 3: I drove off.
Speaker 2: I did not know that shit.
Speaker 3: Anytime you put somebody's life in danger, any of it,
Speaker 3: that's aggravator. So they gave me that shit. I think
Speaker 3: that was it at that moment. So he booked me.
Speaker 3: They booked me at the station. An hour later, while
Speaker 3: I'm still in intake, he calls back up to the
Speaker 3: jail and say add possession of cocaine. He goes back
Speaker 3: to the scene and pick up the bag and it
Speaker 3: still had some crumbs in it. But they had to
Speaker 3: add the charges because he said it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's no.
Speaker 3: You can't prove that it was lying, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So they added the charges. So when they
Speaker 3: added the cocaine charges, I bunned out from just possession
Speaker 3: of cocaine or whatever. He gets back to the jail
Speaker 3: with the chief of police and decides, oh, we can
Speaker 3: charge him with a lot more. So that's when they
Speaker 3: add the abandonment of the dangerous drug.
Speaker 2: Tamping.
Speaker 1: That when you start doing your deals with Jesus.
Speaker 2: Sort of kind of.
Speaker 3: Because I had to go back to jail, I had
Speaker 3: to turn myself in the bun out on the new charges.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, y'all fucking with me. They took my car,
Speaker 3: I had an all. They took that. They took my cash,
Speaker 3: They took both of the guns I had. They took
Speaker 3: my pepper spray, they took my baton, they took my knife.
Speaker 1: A lot of weapons.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you come between me and my EVA. You're
Speaker 2: gonna see what but nah? Yeah, but no. So when
Speaker 2: it was time to go to well, of course it
Speaker 2: used to bother me a little bit, but I didn't
Speaker 2: really for some reason. I don't know why, because I
Speaker 2: worry about everything.
Speaker 3: I'm always worrying about something, but that didn't really bother me.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it did not bother me up
Speaker 2: until I went to court.
Speaker 3: I used to say all the time people used to
Speaker 3: ask me about I don't care about that ship, and
Speaker 3: they used to get mad.
Speaker 2: Like, nigga, you can go to jail for a long
Speaker 2: time about this ship. And I was like, I'm.
Speaker 3: Not tripping because I didn't really I wasn't really focusing
Speaker 3: on it. So when I hire up my attorney, he
Speaker 3: was like, we're gonna ask for a speedy trial. I said,
Speaker 3: for what he was like, because we're not gonna get
Speaker 3: him trying to build a case. It was like, this
Speaker 3: is bullshit. So he said, let's just go ahead and
Speaker 3: do it. So I ended up going. I got arrested
Speaker 3: December eighteen, twenty eleven. I went to court July six
Speaker 3: no July sixteenth, twenty twelve, so it was like with
Speaker 3: six seven months or some shit like that. So the
Speaker 3: first day I went to court, it was supposed to
Speaker 3: be like one day, but.
Speaker 2: They was on some bullshit. Now, mind you, I told
Speaker 2: you I threw the dope out the window.
Speaker 3: So the judge was like, after the first recess for
Speaker 3: the first day, he was like, I, before we bring
Speaker 3: the jury in, I've heard y'all mentioned cocaine, cocaine, cocaine,
Speaker 3: but I don't see any on the table.
Speaker 2: Where is it.
Speaker 3: So the DA was like, y'all or it's at the
Speaker 3: crime lab or something like that. So he was like,
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, if y'all don't have it in
Speaker 3: here tomorrow, I'm gonna throw the cocaine out.
Speaker 1: I'm nice.
Speaker 2: Bullshit. They come in there the next day with a
Speaker 2: half a ball half eight ball cocaine.
Speaker 1: So that's temper. That's tampering on their side, right, it's.
Speaker 3: Doing whatever the fuck they want to do. They tried. Now,
Speaker 3: mind you, I had cracked. I had cracked cocaine. They
Speaker 3: come in with powder cocaine. My stupid ass. When I
Speaker 3: see them coming out of that ship.
Speaker 2: I look at my something.
Speaker 1: You said I had cracked, not coke.
Speaker 2: You better damn no, I did. I told him, I said,
Speaker 2: look at I had crack. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: fuck that is. He said, you didn't have nothing, because
Speaker 2: I said, I'm just letting you know what to damn
Speaker 2: tell them.
Speaker 1: So you said you don't let him know what to
Speaker 1: tell them.
Speaker 2: That how to fight. Let them. I told you what happened.
Speaker 3: So what fucked them up was they had that little
Speaker 3: amount and they tried to point on the dash cam
Speaker 3: where they thought the cocaine was when they was pursuing me,
Speaker 3: and the judge was like, that's not the same.
Speaker 2: So then they wanted to offer me a plea.
Speaker 3: Bark and I knew then, like, okay, I got you, motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: They offered me I think it was five serve two.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? They offered me two years in jail.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they give me five years and I served two
Speaker 3: and then like three on parole, a probation or some
Speaker 3: ship like that. I'm like, fuck, no, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3: I told my lawyer that because he came to me
Speaker 3: and told me to jail. So when he went and
Speaker 3: told him, I turned it down.
Speaker 2: He can't. They offered him another one. I even heard
Speaker 2: the DA say, well, he's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be an old man when you get out, and I'm like, well, bitch,
Speaker 3: you'll be dead. Well, so he said all right, we'll
Speaker 3: drop the cocaine and still giving five serve two.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, well, what the fuck is the difference? Then?
Speaker 3: Okay, y'all gotta work. We're gonna go for so my brother,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, you might want to take it. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm not sending myself to jail. If I go to jail,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be all and nothing, and the judge is
Speaker 3: gonna send me. I'm not gonna sign up to send
Speaker 3: myself to jail because I really did not see myself
Speaker 3: going to jail.
Speaker 2: I didn't believe that shit.
Speaker 1: It was everything that you had done, you didn't see
Speaker 1: it's gonna I'm just.
Speaker 3: I didn't everything that I did. I didn't not see
Speaker 3: myself going to jail. And I was guilty of all
Speaker 3: that shit, but I just didn't see myself going to jail.
Speaker 3: What really really helped me out is him doing the
Speaker 3: stupid shit that he did. I had never been arrested
Speaker 3: for any of that ship before, and he had just
Speaker 3: gotten fired from the County sheriff Department for doing some
Speaker 3: racist shit. Oh yeah, he shot off his own police
Speaker 3: card and said a black dude did it, and then
Speaker 3: he shot at the black dude, so they fired.
Speaker 1: Also, looks like he tampers with evidence a lot.
Speaker 2: Ye, well nod.
Speaker 3: He didn't bring the cocaine in the courthouse, the district attorney,
Speaker 3: and the whole prosecution.
Speaker 2: They did that shit. Yeah, because it was no way.
Speaker 3: We left court at like four or five that evening,
Speaker 3: and we lived two and a half three hours south
Speaker 3: of Atlanta at that time, the crime laud was closed.
Speaker 3: The way you went there that evening or that morning
Speaker 3: the next morning and got back with the cocaine in order,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, to present it to the
Speaker 3: jury or whatever. So you know, when I was telling
Speaker 3: him that, he was like, I got it, you know,
Speaker 3: like I got I got it.
Speaker 2: So he got up and said the ship. But you
Speaker 2: know I was.
Speaker 3: That's when I got scared, Like, okay, now y'all playing
Speaker 3: because it was no cocaine in the courtroom.
Speaker 2: They ran over that shit.
Speaker 1: Come behind me, silly, Okay, So you're gonna feed me
Speaker 1: today in this lifetime before.
Speaker 2: The interviews, if you let me get to that you
Speaker 2: are are.
