00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 5: Man.

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: Life is good. Uh, things are good, careers popping. So

14
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: I'm good man, I'm real good.

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 5: You know your name came up when recently when Kat

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 5: Williams did his interview with Shannon Shark. Yeah, well, I

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 5: want to talk about just that conversation period. What is

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 5: that conversation done for for for.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: Black comedy comedy? I don't think anything, because it wasn't

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: no jokes in it. Understand I'm in the joke telling business,

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So it didn't do anything

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: I think for comedy personally speaking. And man, him was cool,

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: so you know, I didn't. I didn't know where that

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: came from. Certain thing he said about me, half was true,

25
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: half was you know, it was a lie, you know,

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: but to each his own. I don't you know, man,

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: I don't even get into that part of it, because see,

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: I'm a type of person. If I have a problem

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: with you, Charla Mane, I'm gonna call you and man

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: the man and we even gonna talk it out. We're

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: gonna duke it out, but we're gonna handle it, man

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: to man. I don't talk behind people back. And that's

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: what social media is. If you go into a platform

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: and talk about a person without you addressing them yourself,

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: when you have opportunities to get in contact and let

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: them let it be known. So you know, I don't

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: get into that, you know what I mean. I let

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: him believe what you need to believe.

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: The reason I asked about what it did for black

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 5: comedy because I started seeing people having conversations about black

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 5: comedy and black comedians that I don't think they were

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: having before, such as I mean, like yourself or the

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: some Moors like it was just the whole death Comedy

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: jam era. It's like a whole great era of comedy, BT,

45
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: comic vith all of that stuff we grew up on.

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 5: I kind of feel like people had kind of not

47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 5: been discussing. But for whatever reason, that interview made everybody

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 5: start pulling up old clips and having the conversations again.

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: But it didn't move the needle to help us progress

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: as black comedians in the profession.

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, So you know what I mean.

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: It might do a little better for the people that

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: he talked for ticket sales, such as hisself, but that

54
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: levels back out, you know what I mean. But you

55
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: know it didn't help us as the juntas the totality

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: of us getting father getting through this door, of us

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: being appreciated for what we do unless you go onto

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: mainstream comedy clubs, us as black comedians, if we just

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: such as myself, pray k and just talk to my

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 3: constituous takes a long time to get through that and

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: help anything with that.

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: They never said nobody gets there.

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: Earth quake not funny.

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: You definitely said that, Yes, yeah, And I appreciate that

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: because it's the truth.

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: Now, I was gonna ask, you know, you said you

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: were cool or you thought you were cool. Now do

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: you people are saying he did that to sell tickets.

69
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Some people said he was just venting, or some people

70
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: it was just like it was just Allie just to

71
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: create the controversy rounding and you know what what it

72
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: just it's just weird. It just feel like it just

73
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: came out of nowhere.

74
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what is the motivation on it

75
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: on it. I of been in this business for thirty years.

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: We as comedians have never did that type of thing

77
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: ever before.

78
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: We're not rappers. We don't have beefs.

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: You have a disagreement with a comic, they usually we

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: take it with the individual and handle it as such

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: outside of just you know, doing that thing was the

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: first time ever seeing it done. But we're on a

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: new age now, you know what I mean, It's a

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: different nation. And I don't know what the motivation of

85
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: the brother is. I when I first ran into Caddy,

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: he was the most phenomenal doing things that have never

87
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: been done in here. He was selling out Madison Square

88
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: Garden type arenas on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and that was

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: never I was coming into Oakland.

90
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: They was like, you know, cat gonna be here. I said,

91
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: what I just got here?

92
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do? He at this Friday? No,

93
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: he Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with the Warriors player. I was like,

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: oh my God. And then you know his acting skills

95
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: was on top because he was on Hill Street Blues

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: doing the things. So I have always admired you know,

97
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: his his his work and what it is. But see,

98
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: I'm I don't get into all that because I'm in

99
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: the joke telling business, and as long as we talking

100
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: about jokes, I do only that's the only thing that

101
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: I am into.

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: I ain't in the pimp game. I ain't in the

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: drug game, ain't and then none of that.

104
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: I'm into the joke. So if you have anything to

105
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: say to me or anything to see me, it should

106
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: be right there in that category because that's the only

107
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: thing that I am involved in the public platf form

108
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: of it.

109
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: So the rest of that ship he can keep.

110
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: Why he said you can't read, Where did that come from?

111
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

112
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean you y'all letting terresta rut there. First of all,

113
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: it's a lie because I couldn't. I used to be

114
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: a w b let radio radio, and everybody in radio

115
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: wants to be like y'all and be syndicated. But if

116
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: you're not syndicated and you just got one goddamn station,

117
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: the only way you get some money off live.

118
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Reads in traffic and the rest of them. So it

119
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: came to that and another thing.

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: Ninth grade, I was picked to go to Georgetown and

121
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: the upper Bound program. The only reason I didn't make

122
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: open Brown program is when they took me on the tour.

123
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: They let me taste a fresh doughnut for the first time.

124
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: And I ate it. I'm like, oh my god, fresh

125
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: wheeze oie juice.

126
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: And I said, you can have all these that. Yeah,

127
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: I said, y'all keep on walking Around'm gonna stay right

128
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: here of these donuts because I'm used to eating the

129
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: Hostess donuts at the little past but I never had

130
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: like a Dunken one.

131
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this is delicious. So yeah,

132
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I was.

133
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: Upper Bound program to be picked out of Georgetown to

134
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: go to Georgetown in the ninth grade.

135
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

136
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: Also in the military as an air traffic controller, could

137
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: have been air cock controller. But I wanted to get

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: off my mother house. I said, what job can I

139
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: leave today? To leave her houses? You can be a

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: traffic troller. You can come back in six months and leave.

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: I said, now I need to leave today. What you

142
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 3: got they said, loaded nuclear weapons?

143
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: I said, I take it used the load nuclear weapon.

144
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: Man, I dropped while I'm trying to see two live

145
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: crew man, no real talk boxed down air force face. Yeah,

146
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: trying to see two live crew. When when Luke first

147
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: came out, we dropped that because you have to change

148
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 3: the ordinance, the disguise from the rush.

149
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 1: You dropped the bombs. He can get out to the club.

150
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: No. I told him, Mommy, I wanted to go see

151
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: Luke Friday. They put me on the schedule. I had

152
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: already said I'm not going. So they say, go out there,

153
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: change the ordinance and then you can leave. Of course,

154
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: I've been doing this for ten years. I'm like, all right,

155
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: we don't need this. I put it up and we

156
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: tell the moves, the racket and everything. We ain't put

157
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: all the grease fitting the can down.

158
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,840

00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Yes, why they call you broken that?

166
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: That's what happened when you drop a nuke on the

Speaker 3: in the country, it's called it broken arrow. When it's

Speaker 4: But the new clearly didn't go off.

177
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: No, nuclear weapons are some of the most safest ordinances

178
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: that you got. Conventionals are more different because they got

179
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720

180
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,480

Speaker 3: then they came and got me. Basic commander came and

189
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: then they took us to the UH to the hospital

00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: was the concert.

00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: I started checking all the things on the checklist, so

206
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: I said, I did all myself, So it had to

207
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: be something wrong with the with the rack and everything else.

208
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,559

00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: getting caught Marshall or Auticle fifteen for getting put out.

210
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,079

Speaker 1: Cat Whim is a liar too. The play I want

233
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: to do I want to ask you about.

234
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: You know, one thing that's been coming up recently is

235
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: comedians stealing jokes. True now, it seems like that would

236
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: seem kind of something that's normal because you know, if

237
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: you're talking about it car or you're talking about black

238
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: versus white, it seems like a lot of it.

239
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: So has that happened to you?

240
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: I've been robbed more than any comedian on earth I have.

241
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: I have friends that have taken my jokes. I have

242
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: friends that have called me and told me they have

243
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: taken my jokes. I write another one.

244
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. This is what I's thin

245
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: on to do. It happens.

246
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: That's why I do not look at other comedians perform,

247
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: because I don't physically write. I mentally write. So I

248
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: don't want to be contaminated with the thought. You could

249
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: sit here and see another comedian tell a joke and

250
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: subconsciously does it be into you.

251
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Then you could sit here and.

252
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: Get on stage and riff and come up with and

253
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: think you came up with it, but you previously saw

254
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: somebody else do it.

255
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: That's what happened.

256
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,479
Speaker 3: Sometimes we all it's only certain many subjects that is discovered.

257
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: This is your version of oj Trout, this is your

258
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 3: version of Trump, this is your version of Joe Biden.

259
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

260
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: So the shit happens me my I just continue, you know,

261
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: I just replenish as they diminish, and I just keep

262
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: on going with it. And the way I keep myself

263
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: from even for that ever happening to me. I don't

264
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: watch other comedians I've heard.

265
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: I've heard people say that I found that video with

266
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: a Bernie Mac very interesting because Bernie Mack was like,

267
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 5: people are going to take your jokes. Don't say your

268
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 5: jokes around other comedians, especially the younger ones when the

269
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: veterans are.

270
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Around, well veteran and the rest of them.

271
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: But see, it's beautiful with me is and I'm blessed

272
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: that I don't have to go to a club to

273
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: work a joke out.

274
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.

275
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: I can, I can mentally see this is gonna work,

276
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: and I can I can apply it to my regular

277
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: show as I'm doing it, take one out, put a

278
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: new one there, and continue to make the rotation go.

279
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: Certain comedians don't have that process. They have to actually

280
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: write it down and then try it on the stage.

281
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: And then you have comedians.

282
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: In the back, Oh, I like that, and then they'll

283
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: give you the thought pattern. They would give you their

284
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: version of that thought pattern. This is what I would

285
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: have said, if I thought of that, you know that's

286
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: still in two. So you know they sit there, but

287
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: you just it's occupational hazard.

288
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: But you don't got to.

289
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: Work yourself out in a comedy club. So has you

290
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: ever have you ever tried a joke and it didn't work?

291
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: Because I see every it seems like comedians do that,

292
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: Like they'll go to a communiant spot at two in

293
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: the morning, go for ten minutes to see if Joe

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: working and keep it moving.

295
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: So you don't do that. No, ill work it out,

296
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: and I work it out in my set. But see

297
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: I don't dolongated jokes, so I'm quicker with it.

298
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: So I have to come up with more.

299
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: Radio in you.

300
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to be quick because it got to

301
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: be there in there. You don't have that long. You

302
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: got to get it, get it, get it. So if

303
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: that don't work, I'm already to the next one. And

304
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: what made you give a radio? The reason I gave

305
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: up radio wasn't no way of being like y'all. I

306
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: wanted to be syndicated. And when I first got into

307
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: the business to come to New York, Steve Harvey in

308
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: the morning, right quake.

309
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: In the evening. You know, what I mean.

310
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to be syndicated the whole way because that's

311
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: what I wanted.

312
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: And then they got bought out. And once they got bought.

313
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: Out, you know, I went to the president and was like, hey, man,

314
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: what's up with me, you know, with my show? And

315
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: they had no aspirations for me being syndicated. I said,

316
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: I come to New York just to be on the

317
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: radio at one station. So that was the end of that.

318
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: I said, well, I'm going back to Los Angeles, and

319
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: that's what it came. It balled down to it. I

320
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: really syndication is what I've wanted, and once that was

321
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: no longer obtainable of being there, it was time to

322
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: move on. And then, you know, the business is you

323
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: can do if you can get one person that can

324
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: work the board and be the air personality at the

325
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: same time, you can go in and kick the air

326
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: personality to the side because I wasn't working the board

327
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: or nothing, you know what I mean. So that's how

328
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: they worked out creative outlet for you very much. So,

329
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I have my own radio show now. We're

330
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: number one on Serious XM's a Quake's House on Kevin

331
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: Harston Lafo Love Radio. So we we're in our sixth

332
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: season there, so I'm still in the radio and we

333
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: don't do nothing but tell jokes. Yeah Quake's House. So

334
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: what we did was, uh, it's like the view with comics.

335
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: We just sit around and do topics and let the

336
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: comics riff.

337
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: Have comedy always been this competitive, at least behind the scenes.

338
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, as you have aspiration, people hate on it.

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: But comedy speaks for itself.

340
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: See, you can step on that stage and have all

341
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: the accolades you want. That gives you the first five minutes,

342
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: but after that you gotta be funny. So I don't

343
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: care if you got a TV show or not. If

344
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: this dude don't have no TV show and he fun

345
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: he gonna blow you off the stage. So the competitiveness

346
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: of it is being funny, and you know that's it

347
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: speaks for itself.

348
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: What's the science of comedy? Man?

349
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: And the reason I ask you particularly because people always

350
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: say you are most comedians' favorite comedians, So it's to me,

351
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: it's not just about being funny, because if you're that's

352
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: funny right in a classroom, off on the radio, But

353
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: to hit that stage, it don't translate.

354
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: And that's the key word I was gonna say. It

355
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: has to translate.

356
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: You have to make people do something they can't make

357
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: theyself do and just laugh and relate to them from

358
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: no matter what the background. And it must be sophisticated

359
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: enough that it's not a knock knock joke, but not

360
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: too complicated that you alienate the audience.

361
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: So that's the sweet spot of it, you know what

362
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean.

363
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: And me personally, I'm allergic to the quiet, So I

364
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: have to keep going raptifire, you know. And I would

365
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: hate to be like some comedians that write along joke

366
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: and then have a punchline at the end, because my

367
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: fear of it is post they don't get it, then.

368
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: You're losing the audience, you know what I mean.

369
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: But if you raptify quick with quick ones, job ones

370
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: ain't going. It's the way of success and that's the

371
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: key of it being relatable.

372
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 5: You think the d m V area gets the credit

373
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: it deserves for being a comedy hotspot.

374
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: No, we have something of the great Martin Uh, Dave Me,

375
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 3: Tommy Davis and Tony Woods.

376
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: Uh, it's a lot of Donelle.

377
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: No, you can't donell You know these are my we

378
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: we are in there. We're in DC. Is is a

379
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: hard market. It's compared to like New York. You they

380
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: don't give you nothing in DC. If you ain't funny,

381
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: then they're gonna let you know right there and then

382
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: they're wait until you succeed before they give your accolades too.

383
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: Was your come up? Your come up with mostly East

384
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: Coast or No? My come up was down in Atlanta.

385
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: See once I got out the military because I left

386
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: that because the war broke out. I said, I don't

387
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: mind practicing for the war, y'all fight. I joined the military

388
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: to get out of my mother house. I could have

389
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 3: stayed in DC to get shot at fuck this, he's

390
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 3: fighting for rig then fight over some oil and I don't.

391
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: Even have a call.

392
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: You better put somebody else out on him to send

393
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: an exon over in the Middle East.

394
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: So how do you just get out? Hey? Man?

395
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: My time was up, man, and I couldn't get out

396
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: what I wanted to because they have this stuff called

397
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: stop loss. Because in your contract, which is about two

398
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: hundred pages somewhere deep in there, if you a central employee,

399
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: aessential job in the military, you have to stay in

400
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: wartime situation, and of course if you're.

401
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: A bombloader, you that. So they wanted to send me overseas.

402
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: I said, man, I ain't going over there. So I

403
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: did everything not to go over seas.

404
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: So soon as they uplifted and took off the stop

405
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: loss let me out.

406
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I turned on CNN.

407
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: Couldn't go back to d C because it wasn't no

408
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: feederal you know, I ain't want to go to illegal pharmaceuticals.

409
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: So I said, where I'm gonna go?

410
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: I turned on CNN, and you know, they had one

411
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: of those stage the blessed places, you know, the surveys

412
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: for black men to prosper well, and the number.

413
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: One city was Atlanta. I said, well, got that.

414
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: Here I came and I grabbed four of my dudes

415
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: who was also in the military, and say let's go

416
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: to Atlanta. And I tried to get on stage there

417
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 3: to try it out. See, this is no epiphany for me.

418
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: This is the this my career is making the best

419
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 3: decision that day. Try to tell a joke, and no

420
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 3: better decision has came. So I never had the other

421
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: things my other peers have they seen, they got these

422
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: great stories. No this, I tried this and then nothing

423
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: better came along, and I tried to get on stage

424
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, and they had the Comedy Act theater there,

425
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: but the owner would never let me get on.

426
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Why I don't know. And then he.

427
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 3: Promised me one time that I was gonna be on,

428
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: you know, and I told all the women, I'm gonna

429
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: actually be on the stage, you know, because you tell

430
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: any black women in Atlanta back and then you're a comedian.

431
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: Have you been at the comedy act? Like now I'm

432
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: doing a little white club down in Florida, and alright,

433
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: tell me when you get on comment get on comedy

434
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: act there. So he told me I was gonna be on.

435
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: It open enough for Paul Mortey, told the chicks to.

436
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: Come see me. When I got there, he told me,

437
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: now I don't had nobody.

438
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: I didn't tell you that, so you know, I called

439
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: my mother and I was like, yo, this said I

440
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: could be on and he can't. And she like, I

441
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 3: told you. You can't get mad at nobody that don't

442
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: let you ride your bike. You either get your own

443
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: bike or don't ride at all. I say, momahammed, get

444
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: my own club. Ain't got no money. I just moved

445
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: to Atlanta and said, well, then don't call me and

446
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: complain about it. That's her, that's the love that my mother.

447
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: She don't pick you up when you fall. She's like,

448
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: get up, get your crying, get your ass up. Stop

449
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: all that crime. And she she raised men. So that's

450
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: what I did. I owned up my own comedy club,

451
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 3: and I got some investors and we opened up Uptown

452
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: Comedy Corner.

453
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 4: And now you.

454
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 5: Found like you skipped a big step just now. Ever quick,

455
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 5: how are you going from having no money?

456
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, what I did was I hooked up with It

457
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: was this dude named Garry Abdu.

458
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: He was.

459
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: Opening, He had little one nighters, and I say, what

460
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: you need to do. We need to do a black

461
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: comedy club. So I took him to the Comedy act

462
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: and showed all the bad.

463
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: Business that they was doing.

464
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: They had four hundred seats with two waitress, no food,

465
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: no nothing, and they browned the same comedians every week.

466
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: So it was Ted coppinha and Joe Tory and they'd

467
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: be there for the whole month. I said, if we

468
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 3: bring in, we go to a better place, bring some

469
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: food in, bringing with the class, we can do it.

470
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: So he went to go look for investors and I

471
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 3: went to go get investors.

472
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: I went to Dion all the athletes.

473
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd be in Mexican. Yeah, boy, that's good out there.

474
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: Call us people up there, shoot me down. But Gary

475
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: went and found the number one plastic surgeon in Atlanta,

476
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: and he gave us ten thousand dollars. Say if you

477
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: could flip this ten thousand, make some money, y'all and

478
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: come back. So we went down to Birmingham, and that's

479
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: how we discovered Ricky Smiley. And I seen Ricky all like,

480
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: hey man, we're gonna do this. So it was me,

481
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: Ricky and him and we flipped the money in Birmingham

482
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: and brung it back and then he gave us a

483
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: half a million dollars to do the club.

484
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: So you discovered Ricky I could just in the comedy club.

485
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: Well, we discovered Ricky wanted to be a comedian, but

486
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: at that time he was in church playing the organ.

487
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: And so I said, man, we're gonna open up a club.

488
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: And we sat around and sit there and me and

489
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: him Gary opened up. We got the club opening up,

490
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: and then we opened up three more.

491
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

492
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we gave you ten thousand. That was the

493
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: test to see if you were gonna come back with it.

494
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: Y'all came back where you get five hundred dollars.

495
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: Gave us five hundred thousand and found a place, and

496
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: we called it Uptown, you know. And that's why we

497
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: cut uptown because they was downtown.

498
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: They was down there and they're.

499
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: The bad part of town, and so we called it

500
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: uptown and the rest of them was history another. And

501
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: what they did was they told all the black comedians,

502
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: if you work in his club, you can't work in mine.

503
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: So that's how it became great because I had to

504
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 3: do all the time myself because none of the black

505
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 3: comics would do it.

506
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: And that's what it was. A blessing and a curse

507
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: at the same time.

508
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: Was Comic View a big break.

509
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: My totality of my career or just at that point

510
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: at that time, Comicview, Comicview was my big break. That's

511
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: where everybody and I could tell Quake fans when they

512
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 3: come say I want to put your air and your

513
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: mama name, you know, when I know that, and I

514
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: mean they was original Quake fans.

515
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: How do you feel about them bringing back Comic View?

516
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: Think it was great. I was there when they was

517
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: filming with Mike and keV. Any platform that allowed the

518
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: gendre to expread and give opportunities, I'm all for and

519
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: I participated, and I have done that my whole career

520
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: with my radio show and me doing the club and

521
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: everything else to expand it because it's a great ot form.

522
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: It's you know, I don't there's ventually all that's going

523
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: on now is not what the job description of.

524
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: We bring joy and sit here and make people laugh.

525
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: What do you think happened to comedy at one time?

526
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: Because at one time you would see the comic view,

527
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: you see the deaf comedy Jim. It was all over TV.

528
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 2: It was fun, it was cultural, and then there was

529
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: a time where it just went away. What do you

530
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 2: think that was? Now I'm seeing it's I think Netflix

531
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: is doing a good job of bringing comedians out that

532
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: people haven't seen or heard or given them specials. So

533
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: what do you think was that moment where comedy kind

534
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: of died for a little.

535
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's always been a vehicle for the others,

536
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 3: now not for us. I think, you know, we haven't

537
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: invested in ourselves. Certain people get in the door and

538
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 3: they just don't give back, and they forget how they

539
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: got there, you know what I mean, and.

540
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Provide opportunities for other people.

541
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: And you know I mean, I'm glad cav grow comic

542
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: view back, and I wish somebody else bring death jam

543
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: back because these are the times that we're about to

544
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: go into. We need that voice from a comedian to

545
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: put laughter to this sorrow that's coming.

546
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: I don't think people want to take the risk.

547
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 5: Like you know, when I talk to a lot of

548
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 5: comedians that I admire, like the first thing they say, like, man,

549
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 5: ain't going on TV with my shit because they still

550
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 5: want to talk the way they talk on stage. They

551
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: don't want to bring that to television and then risk

552
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 5: everybody on Twitter. Oh you cancel him and cancel her

553
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 5: taking a sponsorship.

554
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 3: You know the cancel part of If you true into

555
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 3: your conviction and you're standing on that foundation, it should

556
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: be cool.

557
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

558
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 3: When you just going out to be controversy for the

559
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: fact of controversial, I think it is explain your point,

560
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 3: explain where you're coming from, and if it's true. I

561
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: personally feel, if it's route and within your belief then

562
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: something just like your jokes and you don't find an

563
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: audience that agree with you, and you're gonna find audience

564
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: that don't. That's what I feel the whole time of it,

565
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: and the thought about it is you don't have to

566
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 3: go on stage executive producer. Give it up to the

567
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 3: next up and coming and give them a shine, you

568
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean. You don't have to be put

569
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: your name on it. You can walk in there and

570
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: they say, he quake. You know, we want to do

571
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: three movies.

572
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: I ain't.

573
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: I want to do three movies, but I also want

574
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: to do this comedy show. And I got this young

575
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: comedian that I want to host it off of. How

576
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: much is gonna call the what's the budget would you

577
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: give me for that? And I'll make it work on

578
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: that for the opportunity because there's so many different platforms

579
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: that you can give for the younger comedian to get on,

580
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: get on too, and get on. And I think Kevis

581
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: did a great job on that too, because he was

582
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 3: putting on special with different people. There's certain people that

583
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: gives opportunities to other people, and certain people get through

584
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: the door and lock the motherfucker short and say, ain't

585
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: nobody else outside?

586
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: Was it true? I mean, David, that for you two though.

587
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: Yes, he did me my biggest break in my career.

588
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: Really, the Netflix Standard special.

589
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, really changed my life. Really? Oh yeah, I mean,

590
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean he was the only one.

591
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: All the rest of them say he's funny, great now,

592
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: but he was the only one to bring in in

593
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 3: and say, I this man is who it is and

594
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: stood on it and didn't you know it's easy to

595
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: put somebody on that you know don't have the possibility

596
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 3: to be even with you or surpassed you.

597
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: You know, but it's hard when you say this man is.

598
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: Equally as talling him or might even better, and I'm

599
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 3: gonna give it to him, like somebody else gave a

600
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: shot to me, and very few of them does that.

601
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: And Dave gave that to me. Matter of fact, where

602
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: go to do another one? Because of him? Next Flix's

603
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: came and gave me an offer for a new one

604
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna do this year.

605
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: Why did that conversation with you and Dave?

606
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: Was it you had a greater you wanted to do

607
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: a Netflix special or he reached out to you? How

608
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: did that conversation happen?

609
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: He called me, I really thought he was punking me.

610
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: I thought it was a punk because yah, I thought

611
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 3: it was a prank. And they called me up and

612
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: they said, Dave Chappelle wants permission to get your number

613
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: because he wants to call you my agent call because

614
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: he wants to produce your special.

615
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, and then hey man, I got you. We're

616
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it.

617
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, man, And it was the

618
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: rest of it was Stan Lathan, you know what I'm saying,

619
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: and the whole team he has, you know, how's to

620
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: shoot it. And it changed my life and I knew

621
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: this was a career defining opportunity and I addressed it

622
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: as such.

623
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I was that serious with it.

624
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: How did they change your life?

625
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: Like? What changed my life? Out?

626
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 4: International profile?

00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,080

Speaker 3: DC was amazing. Liverpool, we went to so many different

00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: London and all the rest of it.

633
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:00,880

00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm a king. I don't pay for the

647
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: Man was the one time thing. Oh yeah, we did

648
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 3: it one time, Kim is. But Kim did more for

649
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: me than anything. When I first had my biggest break

650
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: put for that time my TV show on ABC, and

651
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: Kim came and helped me navigate through that because it

652
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: was I had a lot of people around me that wasn't.

653
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Good for me.

654
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: And she came in and showed me how to do

655
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: TV and reiterated what I know now is you know

656
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm not an actor.

657
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm a movie star. And there's a difference.

658
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: What's the difference?

659
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: Ed told me this, and now I understand it. An

660
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: actor Eddie Murphy Ed, He said, a movie star is

661
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: a person that already has the content. An actor is

662
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: a person you have to give the content to see

663
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, we're walking content. So when you tell

664
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: me something to read, which I do. I would say,

665
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: that's that's not how I would say it. I would

666
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: say it like this. And I know the best way

667
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: to say this because I'm in the front line saying

668
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: this to.

669
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: People every day. An actor will sit here.

670
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: Just interpret and say, Okay, I'm going to digest what

671
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: you say and formulated to your specification, so it to

672
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: be said the way you written.

673
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: You wrote it, and that's where it was. I wouldn't

674
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: talk like this.

675
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: So if you have people that's not they give you

676
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: a show in your image based upon what you'll say,

677
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: say we're going to do a show about earthquake, about

678
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: your life, and then you got people that don't know

679
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: nothing about your life, right, and you say this is

680
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: how you say it, and you don't have the authority

681
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: to change that. Writers you know and the way is written,

682
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: then you'll struggle with that part of it. So you

683
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: have to say forget it. And she was the one

684
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: that on the set while I was filming my pilot

685
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: for ABC, pulled me to the side and say say

686
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: how you want to say this show show? And once

687
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: she and she empowered me with that, it took off,

688
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: but it didn't get picked up man.

689
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 5: That's the only threat to what you said. When I

690
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 5: think about Eddie Murphy, I think about him in a

691
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was Beverly Hills cop for

692
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 5: forty dollars, one of them roles wasn't for him. It

693
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 5: was Syvester Stallone or somebody right, and just him being him,

694
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 5: he went in there and did it. It is like,

695
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 5: now you think about it, it's like, oh, that is okay,

696
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 5: I get that.

697
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at it. Always Kris Tucker played Chris Tucker.

698
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: When you get Kevin.

699
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: Every comedian who had the biggest movies, they was playing

700
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: themselves in that fictitious role.

701
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: You allow him?

702
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 3: Why hire him for what you the reason you picked him.

703
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: You didn't pick him because he's an actor. You didn't

704
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: go to none of these schools, Julia Harvard, none of

705
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: these theaters. You picked him because he's an individual talent.

706
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: So why would you bring him in then put him

707
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: in this square? It just never made sense.

708
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: And some of the biggest stars has always been comedians,

709
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: but they always been themselves and the saddler all of

710
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: them they played themselves else So they are movie stars,

711
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: they're not actors. You put them in a position. How

712
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: would ice Q be in this situation? How would Kevin

713
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: Hart be in this situation? You know what I mean,

714
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: That's how it is. And if you don't have the

715
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: power or you don't have the management of the team,

716
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: too way to structure your deal with the flexibility you know,

717
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: you know, you sit there and then they changes all

718
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: the way through because they'll give you a deal and

719
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: you'll pitch the show to them and they say they

720
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: love it, and by the time they finish writing it,

721
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: the show ain't nothing, but you pitched it to and

722
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: then it fails. You're like, I never wanted a gate

723
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: dog that flew around, you know what I mean? If

724
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: you can get the gate doll, that'll really set it off.

725
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: I see it. Yeah, that flies around.

726
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: You know.

727
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: A conversation that that always comes up is black comedians

728
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: wearing a dress?

729
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: True? Why and what's your thoughts on it?

730
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: It's hard when white dudes Malloy ain't said it's so personally.

731
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: When white dudes do it, man, they're genius. When we

732
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: do it, it's has something to do with our manhood.

733
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's art. If it's a hit and

734
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: it's funny. White Chicks was great, Big Mama House was great,

735
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? I know Marty, Marty is

736
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: one of the manni is Man's Man's.

737
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: There is Nary Johnson basketball player, Grandmama.

738
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 3: My Mama, Flip Wilson, Gerald Deane, you understand, Bigger Killer,

739
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: kill you, the whole nine. And so it's just another,

740
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, another way to take shots at people that

741
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: they want to And what's heartbreaking for me is as

742
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: younger comedians that's taking these shots and at the people

743
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: that paved the way for them, and it's sick.

744
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 5: Now, well, I think a lot of times two people

745
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 5: use those things to justify why they're not where they

746
00:34:59,320 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 5: want to.

747
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: Be exactly exactly, And I strongly believe that to the

748
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 3: core of my heart, because you need something to tell

749
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 3: yourself so you can go to sleep at night.

750
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm not there.

751
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: It has to be you so loud, you taking it

752
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 3: to the face, and everybody sold out who had a

753
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 3: TV show.

754
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: That means there is no God. There is no God.

755
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: If God has destined me to be a network television star,

756
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: you're telling me that the forces in the gatekeeper are

757
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: far stronger than my God. That's what you're telling me,

758
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: because so none of us can have a television show

759
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 3: hit TV show without taking it to the face.

760
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: Taking it to the face.

761
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 5: You know what's so crazy, though, But when you watch

762
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: these shows that we like, right Cavi It with Cosby Show, Martin,

763
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: Family Matter, A Different World, and Living Single, they.

764
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: Were great shows exactly.

765
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 5: The people are talented, yes, and most of these people

766
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 5: still are doing what they doing now. They still have

767
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 5: some type of success.

768
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 3: Exactly, And that's what it is because it takes a

769
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 3: long time to get there. Do you know how hard

770
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: it is to have a hit TV show? Of course

771
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 3: you understand what I'm saying, just to they just don't

772
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: get ease away. These ain't It's like hitting a lottery.

773
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 3: It is like hitting the lottery the chances that you're

774
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 3: going to get a TV show. First of all, get

775
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: the deal that they pick you out of all the

776
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: other comedians out here. Then you get a good a

777
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: great enough team around. And then at first y'all come

778
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: together to get the chemistry and they translate, and then

779
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: you don't have no executives saying well and then do this,

780
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 3: let me catch before he got a chance to get

781
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: on his legs. You know what I mean to go

782
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: to go to go. Man, you got a better chance

783
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: hitting a lottery in having a hit TV show.

784
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,000

Speaker 4: By the way, it's hard to even sell one.

00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 5: True, it's hard to get it green lit, thank you,

788
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,200

Speaker 3: For the first three years, you're on pins and needles.

792
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: You don't get comfortable till the fourth or maybe the fifth.

793
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,080

812
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: just where it is now. You gotta formulate a good

813
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 3: team casting out. I mean, Martin did it. He had Gina, Yeah,

814
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 3: Pam did was seasonal actress that he could lean on

815
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 3: to learn it. Why the time they carry it? And

816
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: it was it was a it's beautiful. You just hope

817
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,759

Speaker 1: Up for you too.

819
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 4: You know.

820
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: Every comedian comes always asked, do you remember your best show?

821
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: In your worst show? Best show?

822
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: My Next Fix special was my best show because what

823
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: it turned out to be my worst show was North

824
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: Carolina AT and T because it it's hard for me

825
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 3: to tell jokes to people that never had a job.

826
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: College.

827
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, college, Yeah, it's hard to relate to that.

828
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: Type of you know, so that was my worst show.

829
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

830
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: Do you care about making a transition from stand up

831
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 4: to TV?

832
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: And it's at not AT and T A and T

833
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: A and t okay at and T an T. Yes

834
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: and no.

835
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: I don't think commercial success defined if you're great or

836
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: not as a stand up comedian or made it or not?

837
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: Uh? The yes part. I want that money. I want that.

838
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 3: Success of the financial security that comes along with it

839
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: and the comfortability of being home Monday through Friday, stepping

840
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: on a on a on the stage and doing my

841
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 3: product and then coming back home. The road is good,

842
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: but it's tiresome, you know what I mean. The money

843
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: is great, but it's tiresome at this point, and been

844
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: doing it over thirty something years, I am coming to

845
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: this point. How do I make as much money as

846
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 3: I can this next five years and get.

847
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: The hell out?

848
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 4: Nay, talk to this about this.

849
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 5: This between being broken in debt because you said at

850
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 5: one point you were in the whole for three million.

851
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

852
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: Man, see being broke that means you just ain't got

853
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: no money. And that means even if you got some money,

854
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 3: I get it to somebody else.

855
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: We understand what I'm saying. That's the difference on it.

856
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: And I was in depth because I was playing the

857
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: game a lot of entertainers do. When I blow. I

858
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 3: would take care of Uncle Sam during that time, and

859
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 3: it never came, you know what I mean? And Uncle

860
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: Sam don't play, so now you know it didn't come

861
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: to fruition on that point of blowing at that point.

862
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 3: So now I just put the money to the side

863
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: and know them. You know, around April, I'm gonna get

864
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: molested financially.

865
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: My Uncle Sam comes. Uncle Sam come, Oh, he comes,

866
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: and they average up. They don't average up, they average up.

867
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 3: And they let you. And see the thing about Uncle

868
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: Sam so good about it. He a sleeper sale. He

869
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 3: allows you not to pay him until you fall off

870
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 3: and he comes. See, and it's not the money that

871
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: you owe him that gets you.

872
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: It's the penoties. And yeah, it's usually more than the principles.

873
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 3: So the best thing is so I'm like, okay, once

874
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: it took me to get out. It took me about

875
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 3: six years to get to get out of ol. Uncle Yeah,

876
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: the three million dollars Jesus Christ got all of it

877
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: on there.

878
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: You know.

879
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: Think you about it now, I feel like they'll scratch

880
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 4: you out a little bit.

881
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 3: No, I mean yeah, I mean That's why I'm an independent.

882
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: I don't believe that. I don't believe that taxation. You

883
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: should not have to give forty percent of anything to anybody.

884
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: If I gave forty percent of my forty percent out

885
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: of every dollar to alcohol hall, I'd be an alcoholic.

886
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 3: If I gave forty percent of my dollar to drugs,

887
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: I'd be a drug addict. So why is it cool

888
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 3: for the government to get.

889
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 5: Forty And by the way, I wouldn't have no problem

890
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 5: with it if I saw that money actually going to

891
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 5: our communities. True, if I saw it going to our communities,

892
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 5: and you know, our schools was better and true, people

893
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 5: could afford better housing because whatever it is, if people

894
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 5: had free health care, I would have no problem.

895
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: Trump problem with it.

896
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna tell you why.

897
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 2: Because there's so many billionaires and millionaires that pay no taxes, right, true,

898
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: and they let them slide. And these are companies that

899
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: had generational wealth, white companies that had this for twenty

900
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: thirty years haven't paid taxes. When you look at Donald Trump,

901
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump says he paid you know, ten dollars

902
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: in tax for the year. True, and then you look

903
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 2: at yourself. But then you see what Donald Trump is worth,

904
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: you say, ain't no goddamn.

905
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: Way, ain't no god that.

906
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 3: And on that part of it, I wouldn't have no

907
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 3: problem doing all that too.

908
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: If I utilize some of the things.

909
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: If I ain't got no kids, I shouldn't be paying

910
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 3: no goddamn public school money.

911
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: I ain't got no kid in public school. And if

912
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: my kids it is in private school, playing for public school.

913
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Certain services, if I'm not

914
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: utilizing them, I shouldn't have to pay for them, you

915
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And that's what I think they

916
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 3: should break it down just as simple. In the United States,

917
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: the American dream is free. Only thing the government gonna

918
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 3: take care of your health care and your education. Other

919
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 3: than that you on your own.

920
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 5: I thought about that too in regard to like, you

921
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 5: know when people talk about reparations, just like yo, if

922
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 5: you make a certain amount of money, just don't tax me.

923
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 4: Exactly, don't take me.

924
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 5: I'm saying if you're a black person, that make a

925
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 5: certain about not first white people all the time. I'm saying,

926
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 5: if if you're black and you don't have a certain

927
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 5: amount of money, yes you give them reparation. But if

928
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 5: you're black and you make a certain amount of money,

929
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 5: just don't.

930
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: Don't tax me. I'm with that. That's a great ass idea.

931
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you still consider yourself a Republican?

932
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: No, I'm an independent me and Sheryl Underwood used to

933
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: be the only comedians back in the day that was Republican.

934
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: But now since the Republicans has been hijacked by the MAGA,

935
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: I had to tap the fuck out.

936
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 4: I tell folks that all the time. I said, if.

937
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 5: Even though I feel like Republicans have always been the

938
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: party of white supremacy, but if traditional conservative values came

939
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 5: back as opposed to this MAGA stuff, I think right

940
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 5: now people are looking for something different so bad that

941
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 5: you see a lot more black and brown people going

942
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 5: to be Republican.

943
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if you really look at it, black people

944
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 3: are we are the most conservative people. We believe in God,

945
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 3: we believe in less government, which is the police, you understand,

946
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: and we believe in personal responsibility even than some of

947
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: us don't. So that's that used to be the doctrine

948
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: for the Republican Party back in the day when I

949
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 3: was in the military and strong military, which they gave

950
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 3: us a raise all the time.

951
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: So that would make me a Republican back in the day.

952
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel I'm an independent too. I can't.

953
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 5: I just I feel like both parties are full of shit,

954
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 5: but one but clearly what we're seeing on the Republican

955
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 5: side right now, that's something we ain't ever seen before.

956
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 4: Oh he got fashion a day.

Speaker 5: I feel like that's I'm David in some days I'm like, man,
