And 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.560 if you've been around a long time, you know you're 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.880 going to get ten minutes in this game. So you 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.480 got to capitalize off this because next week it'll be 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.000 something else. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.600 Yep, for sure, next week something he's had a choke hold. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.640 The first couple of weeks, a couple of weeks after 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.000 New Year, you know, Puffy happy you Uffy's happy, Yeah, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.640 because we're not talking about him no more. A lot 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.760 of people are happy, yeah, everybody. Nobody's happy, yeah, Joe, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.360 but everybody's talking about something else. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.480 So it's it's it's a good moment now for sure. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.440 When you saw the interview, because I don't know if 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.680 you watched all of it, because I didn't watch any 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:51.920 of it. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.120 So what I did was I talked to different people, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.960 and I saw different clips, and I was able to 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.440 segue and put my own to lots two and a 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.400 half hours to that. So I did my own thing 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.400 on it. But when at first I had one opinion, 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.680 what was that first to other opinion was I felt 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:16.480 I didn't like Shannon shop allowing Kat to talk about 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.720 everybody because as a man, I felt like, yo, we 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.639 don't do that on this show, he's supposed to stop him. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:23.040 As a man. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.760 That's how I moved, But then someone told me no, 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.399 te those people went on those shows prior to him coming. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.920 Which is almost why he wanted to go. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.400 On exactly, and they talked about him, and that's what 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:35.959 it started. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.000 So then they got what they deserved. Yeah, it was 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.280 kind of like fair game at yeah point. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.560 Yeah, absolutely, And I'm here to defend myself and retort 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.800 everything that I've been said on the same platform. So 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.040 when I saw that, I respected that and I left 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:48.639 it that way. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.440 How much of what Kat was saying, would you say, 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.680 is you know, entertainment inflated? 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.320 And how much of it? 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.280 Because I feel like that there was there was enough 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.120 truth in there for people to get to talking. I 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.280 feel like there was also certain stuff, like I would. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.760 Say ninety nine percent, well if it was inflated, right, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.359 especially the running the running the forty eight, because I 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:09.799 think I talked about it on the stay talking about 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.799 it because what I used to run track, right, I 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.320 used to run track like you know, and and if 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.520 people don't know something, well you run the track at 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.680 seasign out here, I sure was, Yeah, and I was 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.640 on my way to the Olympic trials when I was 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.760 out here. Wow, And the thing about track and people 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.240 don't know it. You believe almost anything. And I tell 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.639 people Cat said he could run a four to four 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.160 at fifty years old. And I said, Deion Sanders, who 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.560 was one of the fastest peop in the world, ran 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.520 a four to one when he was twenty something years old, right, 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.440 And Cat said he ran that fast with sweats on 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.080 as a fifty year old man. As a fifty old man, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.000 you just don't add up. So I put twenty thousand 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.680 on the bed out there the race, Cat, Now, it's 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.120 not going to be a fast race, but you'll win. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.040 I'll win. It's not gonna be a fast race. If 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.760 people are saying four to four is fast, me and 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.120 Cat literally we can probably run a forty your dash 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:11.040 and seven seven six ' nine, maybe seven to three several. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.480 That's my prediction. And you haven't a good with the expert. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.520 So I don't know here because I'm sixty three years old. 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.440 So in sixty three you're not running a four something. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.640 It's impossible. Or at fifty or fifty I'm not sure 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.800 you sained Bolt. Maybe when you say boats fifty maybe 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.960 maybe maybe maybe, Yeah, it's fifty six years old. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.560 You ain't run an fs. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.680 Talk about a few of the things you were saying 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.159 on stage that I was that I one of the 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.239 things I wanted to talk to you about because something 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.200 that i'd heard. I've been hearing a lot more people 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:50.080 who are more I guess, financially literate than me. Okay, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.159 talk about how to leverage life insurance? 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.159 Good question, ma, man. Well, the insurance game. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.240 Is really because I'm very confused about it, but I've 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.039 heard it so many times and people who I know 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.080 they're like, yeah, you know, you can get tax free money. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.720 Like so it's a lot of levels of the tax right. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.200 So let's take whole life insurance. Whole life insurance. If 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.400 you created a policy, you call you whoever your agent is, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.840 your stay farm, and you say, hey, I want to 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.480 open up a whole life insurance policy. Let's just take 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.360 a hundred thousand, you put one hundred thousand in and 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.320 over of course the time that money will grow so 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.840 fast that you become your own bank. So let's say 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.120 now you want to get a hundred thousand, and so 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.120 you got two eighty thousand, but you want to take 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:36.159 seventy five thousand out to buy car, put business and 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.240 business whatever. You can do that and they won't tax 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.920 you on the money. What they do is you'll still 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.600 pay what you're paying on that policy, but when you 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.680 die it comes out, they take it off the top. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.680 Oh so you're almost like borrowing from yourself after you die, exactly, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.640 but it's tax free exactly. That's whole life insurance and 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.760 they and these are things I think they should teach 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:00.920 you school. 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.200 Right, yeah, because at any given time, if an emergency happens, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.719 or you have a business opportunity present itself, and you 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.280 might think to yourself, well I don't have it. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.960 You don't have it. But if you had this. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.800 So let's say you get one hundred thousand dollars insurance 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.720 policy life insurance policy and. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.919 You want to take five thousand hours ten thousand, you 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.000 don't have to pay that back. They they'll take it 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.960 when you when you die, as long as you keep 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.839 paying your powerty. You got to keep paying the policy. Ye, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.520 you got people came in the policy. But you can 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.760 do that. Do people like can you have multiple multiple 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:29.440 life insurance pops? 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:30.440 Yeah? Yeah, for sure. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.159 Some of you like Derek Jeter has the policy on 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.000 everybody and his family. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.919 I mean, I feel like, I feel like when you 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.920 hear that out loud, it sounds bad as bad why. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.040 Yes, right, But it's smart. And people are afraid to 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.440 take that insurance good, especially some men. If your wife 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.000 or a daughters and dad, we should take out insurance. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.080 Some people say no because you don't want to make 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.000 the other person rich. You don't want the other person. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.960 That's the mindset of most people. But in the actuality, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.479 people afraid to create a legacy have to have a 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.960 legacy to and that's one of the best ways insurance 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.479 to do that if you have, But then structure it too, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.680 because when you get free money, you're. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.440 Gonna run through it. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.360 Yeah, I mean I think that that's that's why most 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.240 people they turn eighteen, they get a credit card. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:15.880 Exactly. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.160 If you leave anybody any money and they didn't work 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.920 for it, unless they have true discipline or very very frugal, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.400 they running through it, yo, because they never had that 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.960 kind of money at one time. Yeah. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.600 Because I know some people will set up like a 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.840 trust to pay out your family once you're right, yeah, 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.520 you're a certain amount, or you got to do something 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:36.960 like you got to go to school, you got to 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.360 get a degree, and you're going to get this payment exactly. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.080 You have to structure it. But I know people that 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.560 got millions and ran through it in a couple of years. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:46.080 It's crazy. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.960 One of my female friends and she inherited one point 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.760 two million less than a year and a half. It 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.280 was going, you know how. He answer was, I had 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.200 a good time. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.840 But now what exactly? 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.240 And I'm glad you brought that up because the world 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.640 needs to hear this, you know. And then you got 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.679 a thing called term life insurance. And term life insurance 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.280 is like about nine years, you know, but you pay 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.840 on it every month. It's protection you want to be. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.880 You want no man should be walking the street without 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.000 some sort of insurance just in case you die. You 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.320 don't want to put that burden on your family, you know. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.400 So you have term life insurance. But the clever thing 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.840 about term life insurance is after nine years, they give 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.120 you every dime back of like a saving's account, and 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.160 that's called surrender you. They'll send you something in the 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.319 mail because you're alive. Yeah, they have, they have. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.360 They send us in the mails that you could surrender 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:40.760 your account. And then sending. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.440 You could fill out the farms, they send you back 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.320 all that money every time. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:47.640 Can you borrow against the term? 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.400 But that's just something that is instead of you putting 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.640 does it grow in. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.800 That it doesn't grow, but you're protective. But imagine years, 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:56.880 nine years you put. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:57.240 Something in there. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.280 And also that money isn't it's yours. If you don't die, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:02.520 you're getting it back. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.079 Yes, and if you don't want to be insured anymore. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.600 Right, So let's say six years in you're like, you 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:09.840 know what, I'm good, I need my money back. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.440 No, no, no, that can't won't do it that well, Ok, 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.000 they'll tell you when it's time to serve. They want 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.880 you to serve into you account. You can't tell them. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.240 You can't say I got this money here. It's not 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:19.680 a bad idea to do a version of both. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.880 Yes. Yes. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.320 So the insurance thing, and you want to have burial 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.120 insurance is that for when you pass? Yes, because it's 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.600 one thing. There's life assurance and you get Bury insurance. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.920 Bury insurance is strictly for the funeral, right, but then 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.040 you let the people you love. You could take that 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.640 or you could take the money out of the life 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.120 insurance policy and pay for the burial. My kids is 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.720 all set up, you know, I got my stuff. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.600 That one. I'm not having the funeral, so I'm getting cremated. Boom. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.280 I don't want to even a service. So you've already 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.440 thought about all that. Yeah, mostly the our people don't 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.720 know your grandparents. At least people I know have their 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.400 whole funeral and everything se that. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.640 So for you, you'd rather be premated and then have 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:03.880 your bread. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.120 Is either either cremation or I want my I want 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.360 my ashes to become a tree. Oh yeah, or you 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.559 put my whole body. 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.080 In the ground. And this this thing. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.960 I forgot what my daughter said, and I could grow 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.480 as a tree. And if you're in a certain place. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.240 So I'm gonna do something unique and different. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.880 But I feel like a funeral is like a vain 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.240 thing to think about having because you're not there. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:28.079 You're not there. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.319 But you know who did it the best in my lifetime, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.840 Queen Elizabeth m hmm. It was on TV. Yeah, you 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.480 saw how heffy you know it was. Did you even 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:37.880 look at it? 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.320 I saw some of it. Listen to me. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.240 It was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.160 It was masterful. 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.440 I think that funerals help families grieve. That's true because 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.360 it brings everyone together, and you know it helps. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:52.880 And let me tell you how I look at it. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.839 I lost my mother, my dad, all my brothers who 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.400 I was forty. I've been to so many funeral as 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:03.680 you to drive your head crazy as I've gone through life. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.440 You know, people invest in a lot of things, right, 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.040 People invest in gasoline, tesla, stock and all that. I 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.760 want people to invest in their time. Time is the 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.000 most precious commodity that you have that's taking for granted. Sure, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.480 and when I passed, I'm giving the world a gift. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.000 What I'm saying to you, don't come to my feral 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:30.400 this time that you have. Continue doing what you're doing. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.760 Just take a moment to say T to the MFK 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.320 and keep it moving because I don't. I'm not saying 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.119 that I want to waste your time. I just understand 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.720 how powerful time is. And that's my gift to the people. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:49.280 I want them to really take their time seriously because 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.480 could you imagine everybody. 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.440 Had a dollar for it all. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.200 The time that they wasted it is crazy and the 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.040 amount of things that we can waste our time on 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.480 now is greater than ever. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.439 Yes, Because there's a terminology most people don't use called 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.560 time wasters. We all have met them people in our 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.400 life wasting your time, and we always met somebody that 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:10.319 was a time waster. 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.360 It's crazy someone who doesn't respect your Yes, yeah, it happens. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:15.720 Yeah, I got a few of those people. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.240 So when I do business on the phone, what I 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.319 do is for someone who someone is talking to me 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.480 about doing a show. Yo, before we hang up the phone, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.600 you gotta send me two to five thousand dollars. That 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.440 way I know you're serious. You're not getting off the 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.360 phone with me, and I picked up that call and 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.679 you going about your business. You decide you're going to 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.160 do something else because you wasted my time. And it 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.720 also makes sure that when people reach out to me, 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.520 they are prepared. What it is a lot of men, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.520 a lot of people don't know they're not prepared. When 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.679 they call you, they'll say, oh, i'm thinking about No, 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.000 I'm not the person you think about. When you called me, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.760 you should have been known what you're doing. We're doing this, 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.480 we're not doing Yeah, yeah, don't play with me. Do 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.720 your homework and then call me right then, do your homework. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.200 Didn't call me. Yeah, I'm too busy and I stay booked. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.800 Well, I was going to say, you mentioned this on stage. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.719 Obviously you did the ice House for the first time ever. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.680 Yeah, first time ever, which it's a legendary comedy venue. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.599 It's been opened sixty some odd years. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.920 But you were kind of you gave us a peek 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.520 a bit into like the business side of your deal. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.880 You get a ninety you get ninety percent. 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:19.959 Of the door. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.480 I get ninety, which I think because coming from the 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.679 music world, we just think of an artist. They get booked, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.200 they get their money, they get their back end, then 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.040 they leave however the show does. However the show does. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.440 But you you're structuring it to where you're the promoter. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:35.800 I'm actually the promoter. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:36.240 Yep. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.280 I'll put up the money. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.200 Hey, their venue is going to make their ten percent, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.600 and then they're going to make their food and their 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:41.480 liquor and all that. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.600 Yep, exactly. But you're going to be able to get 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.240 your ticket, be able to get my money back that 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.200 I spent to put in for advertising. And I've always 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.240 been that way. So when I see is that pretty common? 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:52.520 No? 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:58.120 Okay, most honest feel I think in the music industry, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.440 you got to have an agent because the book and venue. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.880 But in comedy you need people to help you. It's 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.280 just that me. You know, me and my son. You 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.600 know how we move. So I'm just a guy who 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.160 over the years made relationships. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.080 I mean, you can call most of these club owners 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.560 at this point, oh yeah, easily. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.840 And that's exactly what I do. And I booked myself 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.000 years in advance, like literally right now, I'm booked for 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.680 the next ten years. That's crazy, that's insane. I've been 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.320 like that my whole career. I always always got to 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.120 know what I'm doing next year. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.440 I feel like watching you because I feel like we 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:37.720 get so much of you through podcasts. Yes, but I 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.240 feel like you have to have a special on Netflix. 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.120 So it's coming because by watching you, brother, like I've 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.320 seen everybody live. I'm a comedy nerd, so I'll go 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.840 to the store and if one of my if a 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.520 comedians in town that I like, I'll pay and I'll 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.120 go watch it right now. But watching you live, I 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.080 was like, Yo, this is like as much as it's hilarious, 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.320 and I'm crying out of my eyes, I like left 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.720 with like, I like how you you finished? But then 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.400 you said, everyone hang out for another ten minutes so 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.160 I can give you guys some game, cause you exactly 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.160 you would hit your liker your last joke, but you 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.320 were like, we're gonna hang out. But it was very 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.280 much like kind of like it was like it was 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.640 like a mixture of like, you know, life coaching and 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:18.640 a stand up and I. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:20.200 Love that feeling. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.880 And when anybody sees me, that's exactly what they take. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.000 My high school coach, who loves everybody from Red Fox 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.320 down to Daves Chappelle, he said, he saw my who 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.640 raised you special? He said, TK, I've seen them all. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.960 There's nobody like you. So I took the long round. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.440 Since I'm I'm doing Netflix because of people like yourself 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.720 and them Spin. I have my own network or tk 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.240 dot network, and I have my own specual. I don't 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.480 have Many's Kat Williams, but I have my own specials. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.480 Then my own thing did very very well, and I'm 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.160 gonna I'm gonna do Netflix and I'm working on it now. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.400 Like my deal with Live Nation is set up. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.360 Told me to do my Netflix special and when I 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.840 do my netflace, I'm going to do something really unique. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:07.840 My goal now is to. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.760 I never did any of ice cubes movies, but I 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.800 want ice Cube the direct mom because I started with 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.400 n Wa. I want to use Baby because he took 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.360 me on the Cash Money rough Rider Tour. I want 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.640 to use Doctor Dre as one of the producers. I'm 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.360 going to give all them a check because I came 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.240 up through hip hop. I didn't come up like the 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.040 Chris Rocks and the Kevin's. You were working out on 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.760 stage in front of a hip hop crowd, right, I 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.160 was in front of a hip hop crowd twenty thousand 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.840 and thirty thousand in the nineties when we was at 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.240 when hip hop was at the top of the game. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:49.840 And when I do this Netflix special, I wanted to 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.600 be so unique. It's so amazing that it has the 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.280 same effect of what you just said that when you 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.840 lead there or when you watch it, you go, what 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.240 did I just witness? And I don't have to do 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.480 nothing special. All I gotta do is just be me 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.200 and that's what's going to come across. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.000 Yeah, it's crazy too, because I feel like nowadays more 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.120 people are trying to do comedy than ever because it's 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.000 so easy to get access to Like I could do 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.320 a bit and it might not work if I'm doing 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.399 it at an open mic, but if I record it 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.879 and I make it reel out of it with captions, 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.879 it might work online, which is happening a lot. But 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.040 I feel like the number one thing is the same 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:34.280 thing with music is the stage presence, your delivery. Like 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.920 you had a guy open for you who I thought 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.440 was okay, but the host that was hosting your show 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.640 was so good. Yes, And what was different about him 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.400 than the other guy was I just felt like the 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.679 presence of like like he could have said anything, I 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:48.200 would have laughed. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:49.960 Right, That makes sense, right, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:50.720 he was hilarious. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.159 Delivery presence, but like to me, that's kind of like 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.840 for you, it's like like you command that stage man. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.000 Yeah, that's and that's one thing I do know I 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.920 have I have on what they call stage for Yeah, yeah, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.560 I definitely have that. So I love it coming through 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.920
