27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 3: we have to toast. Yes, bro, you've been doing it.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: I mean you told you're one of the top tour

Speaker 3: You already got started before we started taping. I did

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Tell people at home, I thought.

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: They was lying. And yeah, this particular alcohol is stronger

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: than you think it would be, probably by about two

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and unbelievably smoother and milder by the same maybe thirty

35
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: percent then you could possibly expect. And unlike kanyaks the

36
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: world over, this one doesn't taste like wood at the end,

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn't taste like it's got artificial colors, and

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't taste like it's got artificial flavors.

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: Uh, it's a it's a fine product.

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: He's a connosour. You can tell he's a connoisance. He's

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: a Kangnac connoisseur. He understands the method that goes into

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: making Kanyac right.

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: Well. As a comedian, you get free drinks at the club,

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: so all comedians either turn out to be connoisseurs like

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: myself or straight up and down alcoholics like sixty percent

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: of Hollywood.

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: Well, thanks, thanks for stopping by the club. I understand

48
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: that you're very, very busy, and for you to take

49
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: time out of your busy schedule and stop in today,

50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: we really really appreciate here at Club Chasehaye. Thanks, thanks

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: for stopping back.

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: And I needed you to know why I came by.

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: I need you to tell us why people know.

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't go everywhere. I'm not interested in talking to

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: people unless it's like a Larry King or somebody of

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: an amazing ilk that I would actually want to go

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: talk to in real life. Okay, I don't do it

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: so I can sell product, and then I got things

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to sell, so let me come talk. You have a

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: great product here, and as a fan base, we love

61
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the attention that you spend on the guest. We love

62
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: how much work you've done, how well you know them,

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: how prepared you are, the same things that we liked

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: about you in football. You brought that on over to here,

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and that's why it resonates. And the reason I had

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: to come is because you've made a safe place for

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the truth to be told. You know what I mean.

68
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: And I have watched all of these low brown comedians

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: come here and disrespect you in your face and tell

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: you straight up lies. I'm talking about things that have

71
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: never been heard in all of black Hollywood. They feel

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: comfortable sitting here lying to you about it.

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: You gonna sit the record straight?

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You let Ricky Smiley sit here

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: and you said out that mouth you stole Friday after next,

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: the one I was in. I wish all all of

77
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: America fumbled event when that happened, And then he said

78
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: some stuff that we hadn't heard in one hundred years

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. You ain't say nothing. This man told you

80
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: he had Kat Williams role. He was gonna be money Mike,

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: and Kat Williams was gonna be was gonna mean the

82
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Now, let's three quick points. You mean in

83
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Hollywood they cast a five foot five black Santa Claus

84
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: that weigh one hundred and forty five pounds that's your story.

85
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: Your story is the Ricky Smile that couldn't even do

86
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: curse words because he had a Christian fan base, he

87
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: was gonna play the pimp. Why you didn't ask him?

88
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Why has he played a woman in more movies than

89
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: he's played a man?

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't know. He shouldn't be able.

91
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: You wouldn't let an athlete that been on steroids talk

92
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: about one of the greats. Ricky Smiley can't act because

93
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley can't act. He told you the story about

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: when the movie came out. Where did he say he

95
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: watched it at home? He wasn't he not the premiere?

96
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: You telling this man? You stole that ah so he

97
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: could get his name in the same sentence with a

98
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: great one. It is sad. He was just that bitter

99
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: when we were shooting it. He told everybody it should

100
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: have been my role, everybody on the scene. Why do

101
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: you think no cast member has ever said.

102
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: Anything he couldn't have played that role like you? I thought, he's.

103
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Sure no one. Why no, he was with KD. He

104
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: beat up ten Harry Crews. Why nobody know this story

105
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: you're talking about? In Hollywood? They switched off rolls. You

106
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: take this and he what So Ricky Smiley knows this,

107
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know why he would lose a child

108
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: and come on the air and start lying. That's why

109
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: people believe in rituals right there is because well why

110
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: would he lie? I don't know why liars lie. But

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you this. We auditioned in Los Angeles. Yes,

112
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: I was audition number two hundred and one. Two hundred

113
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: black comedians auditioned for the role of money Mike. With me,

114
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: you're saying all two hundred and one of us was

115
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: auditioning and you had already had the role and had

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: already shot the role in four days. The truth of

117
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: the matter is the Money Mike in the original script

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: got raped in the bathroom. And that's what Ricky Smiley

119
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: was okay with. Kat Williams had to take the risk

120
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: in front of the studios and the cast and the

121
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: powers that be in his very first movie and say, respectfully, humbly, guys.

122
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: If we're talking about anything else, I have no credibility

123
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and I have no pull. But we're talking about comedy

124
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: where I have all the credibility and all the pool.

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: The problem with Friday after Next is we're trying to

126
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: make a classic comedy, and this comedy involves a rape,

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and rape is never funny, no matter who it happens

128
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: to or what the circumstances are. If you would allow

129
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: me to allow us to do this movie without a

130
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: black man getting raped in it, I promise you that

131
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: it will be twice as funny as it would be

132
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: with him getting raped. So, considering that's the real story,

133
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: why would you bring up that story? Thirty five members

134
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: of the cast and crew have never brought up that

135
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley was gonna play money Mike. No one ever

136
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: saw him be put on a Santa Claus suit. We

137
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: got a wardrobe department. They made a Santa Clau suit

138
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: for me. Why that wasn't in the bloopers? And here's

139
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the other thing. Everything that money Mike said. Kat Williams wrote,

140
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: So what Ricky Smiley say on his you can't say

141
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: my lines? I wrote him. That's how I already ready

142
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna be funnier than you. What he

143
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: told everybody was, Kat Williams, don't nobody know who he is.

144
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio. I'm with Steven said, everybody know me.

145
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: That's what he told everybody that would listen to on

146
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: this set. That's the truth of the matter. He was

147
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: so egregious, not now then, he was so egregious that

148
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: in Hollywood has never heard this in one hundred years.

149
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: He was so egregious. I put in my contract that

150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I won't work with Ricky Smiley again unless he's in

151
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: a dress. Now, what was Ricky Smiley's next movie? Was

152
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: it First Sunday? Did he wear addressing it? You bet

153
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: he did. It's in my contract.

154
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: Why would you put that in your in your contract?

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: Cat, That's where he's the unbelievable actor. Him and Tyler

156
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Plarry can't play a man. Let's say their life. They

157
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: played good women. And I believe that the best actor

158
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: should be in the best role.

159
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: So that's why, because when we released that clip and

160
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: he said that, you responded because he said he was

161
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: supposed to play money Mike and you were supposed to

162
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: play Santa.

163
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Claus in our right lie. So that he knows is

164
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: a lie.

165
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: So why would he say it?

166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Because he's a liar. Nobody knows why liars lie. And

167
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: that's why I had to come on the program. Cedric

168
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: did the same thing. Cedric told you when you asked him,

169
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: did you steal Cat Williams joke? He said it don't

170
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: line up? Howard, don't line up? That I did it

171
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: on TV in twenty eighteen, you came to see me

172
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: at the Comedy Store do it in twenty nineteen, and

173
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: then did it on the Kings of Comedy, Like what

174
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: doesn't line up? This is a televised joke that Mark

175
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: Curry helped me punch up and get to the level

176
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: that it was the same Steve that went to go

177
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: everything Mark Curry had. Now Steve got a sitcom where

179
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: he the principal and he wear a suit and he

180
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: and then he gets this high top fade, making all

181
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: black men think he got the best lineup in the business.

182
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: And it's a man unit. Then you asked it, why

183
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: are you not a movie star? I didn't want to

184
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: be a movie star, Just the same micro that hated

185
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: on Bernie with this same thing. I didn't want to

186
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: be a movie star. No, you couldn't be a movie star.

187
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: There are thirty thousand new scripts in Hollywood every year.

188
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin black

189
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: dude that can't talk good old bakab it and look

190
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: like mister potato head. There ain't none you would have

191
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: to have range. I played a lot of characters, sixty

192
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: movie roles. I'm not playing Cat Williams in there.

193
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: I don't know care we might let you drink anymore

194
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: the way you you, I mean, we ain't even got.

195
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Im not fueled by alcol I've had a sip less

196
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: than you. The truth don't need motivation. I'm just saying

197
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't let these dudes lie. Cedric sitting here telling

198
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: you why he ain't a movie star, he already looked

199
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: like a wal risk. You didn't say nothing. He can't

200
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: even get his arms off his stomach sitting on Wow,

201
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a movie's what?

202
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: It's a situation.

203
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: We never wrote anything. Remember when Cedric the Entertainer starts,

204
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be singing, dancing and telling jokes.

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: That's why he's called the entertainer.

206
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: We found out he can't sing, can't dance, and doesn't

207
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: like the jobbles. He did four comedy specials. They're so bad,

208
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: Shanning they're not available on Netflix or to be Can

209
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: I say that again for the audience. They're so bad

210
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: that they're not available on Netflix or to be.

211
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: You don't think say has a good a good comedian.

212
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: The world doesn't think that, Sir, I have twelve comedy specials.

213
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: He has four specials that are not available on Netflix

214
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: or TV.

215
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: It seems to me, Kat that you had a lot

216
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: to get off your chest.

217
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: No, no, you wanted to say the record sty winners

218
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: are not allowed to allow losers to rewrite history. I

219
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: don't say any these things if my name is not

220
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: breached by these people on your platform, that if you

221
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: give them a liar a platform to lie, then I'm

222
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: not being messy by saying hold on that never happened.

223
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: It's untrue, and there are hundreds of witnesses for each

224
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: thing I'm saying.

225
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this, what are your relationship

226
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: with Steve Harvey, Ricky Smoley and said you did entertainer

227
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: as you sit here currently.

228
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: They for thirty years. They're a group. These aren't three

229
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: random guys. The way that Ricky's Smiley kept appearing at

230
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: all of my auditions is because of Stevens saying he

231
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: would tell anybody that listen, they got a gang on

232
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: that side. They know what it is, They know who

233
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: the gang is. Why earthquake not in movies because he's illiterate.

234
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: He can't read. And they found that out when they

235
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: gave him a show and put the cards in front

236
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: of him. Like, all of these dudes are co entwined

237
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: and they share secrets. And this is the age of truth,

238
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: and the truth doesn't need to be scared of the

239
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: fact that people tell lies. Cats on drugs? Where are

240
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: the stories? Why is there no story of anybody who

241
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: ever sold a drug to me, did a drug with me?

242
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: Was around me when I was inebriated. I got five daughters,

243
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: I got five sons. Why would we tell these ridiculous stories?

244
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Because this competition, you feel like, well, why comedy guys

245
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: can't just get along? Why didn't you get along with

246
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the other teams you were competing against if you're a

247
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: Denver Bronco or why you don't get along with the cowboys?

248
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: Something wrong with you?

249
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: But I don't disagree.

250
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what.

251
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: Comedian do you?

252
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: Did you play against the team? Yes, I've taken forty

253
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: six comedians with me on the road. Forty six. Okay,

254
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm not the comedian. You can give that to I

255
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,119
Speaker 1: only put on comedians that are funnier than me. Anybody

256
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: that ever told you differently was a fat Faison liar.

257
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: There's nobody like me in the business. Faison said that

258
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,119
Speaker 1: getting a Netflix special is easy. I have twelve specials.

259
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: Guess how many Faison got zero? So why is he

260
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: allowed to have conversations about real stand up people. We

261
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: do not let people who are on the juice discuss

262
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: real athletes. That's all. As a journalist, that's all. That's

263
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I don't have harbor any resentment to

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: any of these entities because I can't be jealous. I've

265
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: never seen them have anything that I ever wanted. If

266
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: you sign up for their program, you get a light skinned,

267
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: weird face wife that never do an interview. Listen in

268
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: twenty years, won't do an interview. Nobody's ever talked to her,

269
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: and that she's never been interviewed anywhere. And now understand,

270
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about one person. When I just told

271
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: you applies to seven people. How they all end up

272
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: with that, that's part of what you get. I came

273
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: in this business saying I was gonna expose When I

274
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: talked about Michael Jackson. When I talked about R. Kelly,

275
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: they canceled me for these things, because why would you

276
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: talk about another black dude. Race is not where the

277
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: line is drawn. It's God's side and the other side,

278
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: and we don't care nothing about the other side, period period.

279
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: All of these big deviance is all catching hell in

280
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. It's up for all of them. It

281
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: don't matter if you Diddy or whoever you is, TGJS,

282
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: any of them. Every all lies will be exposed, that's all.

283
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: And anyone who takes that the wrong way know why

284
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: they take it the wrong way. The truth is the

285
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: light and no more these amen, amen.

286
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: Kind of getting on there right after that, I don't

287
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: really kind of know where to go. Lit me one

288
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: more time, right We good now?

289
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Because the people want to know why would he get

290
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: black balled? Yoh? Because because because in thirty years I've

291
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: done nothing but collect information, knowledge and your secrets. So

292
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: if you and a man was in a corner doing

293
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: something you wasn't supposed to be doing, you tell it. No,

294
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: somebody come to tell me, Okay, I gather that, I

295
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: value that, I'll pay for that. Come tell me. I

296
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: know so many things I shouldn't know, and they all

297
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: know it. They all know it. Why because you don't

298
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: make me the villain, not the guy that raises black

299
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: children and ain't never done a hard drug in his life,

300
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: and don't have no stories of doing nobody dirty. And

301
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: they'll just go out in their lie. The industry doesn't

302
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: mess with Kat because you didn't show up for the studio.

303
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: No studios have ever said that. Look at my IMDb.

304
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: It will show you that no studio has ever lost

305
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: money with me on the script. How That's why I'm saying.

306
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: That's why I can't let Ricky Smiley say he was

307
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: supposed to play Money Mike because I wrote the words

308
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: for Money Mike. I designed the hair for Money Mike.

309
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: I collaborated with the wardrobe department and made out it's

310
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that no one in America would be

311
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: wearing what Money Mike was wearing. I told him to

312
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: go get the prowler. I then told him to paint

313
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: it purple. I told him, don't have an actor at

314
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: playing a pimp. We could get an actual pimp, Archbishop

315
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: Magic don Juan to play like. I did far too

316
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: much work for somebody to come years later and try

317
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: to tag along just for their own self agrandizement.

318
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: Why didn't Q set the Reconstrate? Terry Crews could have

319
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: set the record. Strate, Mike Ems could have set the record. Strate,

320
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: Why none of them set the Recordstration?

321
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: That's what you were supposed to ask him when he

322
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: told you those lies. That that one's right. But he's

323
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: telling you something no one's ever heard of. Nobody has

324
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: ever heard. Oh, Matt ben Affleck and Matt Damon was

325
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: in a movie and somebody said, y'all should switch rolls,

326
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: like this is a business.

327
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: But that's the thing can normally when people will give

328
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: you information, I'm thinking I'm hearing it for the first time,

329
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: and they're giving information no one else knows or I've

330
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: ever heard. So I'm taking him at faith value.

331
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: These are a lot. This is like Steve Harvey telling

332
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: people he used to be homeless. That's my story, that's

333
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: not his story. Steve Harvey wasn't never homeless. Mark Curry

334
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: was touring with him twenty five years ago. He was

335
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: making three thousand dollars a show in cash and doing

336
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: five shows a week. They just tell the stories. My

337
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: thanks to my wife. I'm where I am. You said

338
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: that about the first wife. You forget that you told

339
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: us it was her, then you went and married somebody

340
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: else that think like a man, like, what are you

341
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: talking about? They they think they can rewrite history. That guy.

342
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Tori did a beautiful special about the Comedy Store in

343
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: Fat Tuesday where he said that Steve and Cedric and

344
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart and Tiffany had his came through there and

345
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: made all lies. Steph and Cedric never performed at the

346
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Comedy Store at all. Tiffany was only seen at the

347
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: lab Factory in fifteen years in Hollywood. No One in

348
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Hollywood as a memory of going to a sold out

349
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him ever

350
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: getting a standing ovation at any comedy club. He already

351
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: had his deals when he got here. Have we heard

352
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: of a comedian that came to LA and in his

353
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: first year in LA he had his own sitcom on

354
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: network Television and had his own movie called Soul Plane

355
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: that he was leading. No, we've never heard of that

356
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: before that person or since that person. What do you

357
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: think a plant is? Maybe people don't understand the definitions

358
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: of these words. He just did his documentary with Chris

359
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: Rock where he shows you that his whole upbringing in

360
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: comedy was on the East Coast, So how simultaneously was

361
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: he here in Los Angeles doing the same thing. It

362
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: didn't happen. It didn't happen. And I hate to seem

363
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: like a petty individual for picking ap heart lies, but

364
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Jesse Smaw, they gonna keep lying until you say, we

365
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: don't believe you, like it's important in the checks and

366
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: balances of the universe that liars not get to make

367
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: complete narratives for themselves.

368
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: Are you not afraid about being blackballed? Again? These are

369
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: some power people?

370
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: Do you mean again? These people are not powerful. Satan

371
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: can't create anything that includes blessings for his people.

372
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 3: That's why.

373
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: Do you know what the number one job of somebody

374
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: that saw their soul in Hollywood is? It is to

375
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: act like it didn't happen. They all do the same job.

376
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: Why do you think Gary Owen can't cross over and

377
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: he already white and been in comedy for twenty five years.

378
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: If what I say ain't the case, it's a cabal,

379
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: it's a consortium. They rock with who they rock with,

380
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: and they don't with who they don't. But I'm not

381
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: scared of being the competition anymore than you were when

382
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: you lined up across from a superior team. Yeah, on paper,

383
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: they're a better team. They have all the assets and

384
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: resources that we don't. But let us get on the line,

385
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: boy boy, and see if that factors in.

386
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 4: I guarantee you it won't wow.

387
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: Because Shannon Sharp got to be a different person than

388
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: that other person, and he always was. That doesn't change

389
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: when I change teams. That remains the same. That's how

390
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: a legacy is built. So all of these shortcut takers.

391
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: I was, they've canceled me for talking about Harvey Weinstein

392
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: before the thing came out. But he offered to something

393
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: my penis in front of all my people at my agency.

394
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do? He did all of that.

395
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm the only black person on the script.

396
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: I get there, it's three other black guys on there.

397
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: Whoa huh? I told him, no, what y'all do? And

398
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: this is why when I walk in the room, heads

399
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: go down behind my back. I'm nothing. I'm just a

400
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: regular old comedian. That's better in jealous but in my face, no, no, no,

401
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: the king has walked in and they have to respect it,

402
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: only because I'm not taken the shortcuts. I've not been funded.

403
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: They pay you to not talk about things they don't

404
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: want you to talk about. They tell you that themselves.

405
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: I can't do that, cause Steve told you that he

406
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: stopped doing stand up because he has seven TV shows.

407
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: The only problem is when he stopped stand up, he

408
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: didn't have those seven TV shows. He stopped stand up

409
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: because he got in a comedy battle called the Championship

410
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: of Stand Up Comedy with one Cat Williams in Detroit

411
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: in front of ten thousand people and lost because Cat

412
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: Williams said he was actually bald and that was a

413
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: wig and I went in and that's why he couldn't

414
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: do stand up anymore. Imagine him coming to tell you

415
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: another story where he got so big and it was burning.

416
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Them's fault because they want to be movie stars. What

417
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: you called Ocean eleven to get that nigga's part? What

418
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: do you mean you didn't want to be a movie star?

419
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: So on the behalf of Bernie, I would have to

420
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: say what I have to say.

421
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: Have you ever been on tour with any of these guys?

422
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: Every guy I mentioned to you is not funny out

423
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: there in real life? No, No, Faison's never done his

424
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: own tour in thirty years. Steve Harvey don't do stand

425
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: up no more. Cedric doesn't write. I'm sorry he doesn't write.

426
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley has been playing the same old black woman forever, like,

427
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: you can't get a young fan base with that, Like

428
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be doing karaoke around the country to make

429
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: that work. And he is. But I'm a stand up comedian.

430
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: This is my nineteenth, one hundred city tour. I'm not

431
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: gonna have a conversation with these lazy bums that will

432
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: take a shortcut at any point. Yes, it's easier for

433
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: you to juice than to get in the gym, but

434
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: you don't get to bring that body in the here talking.

435
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 3: Crazy about how good you look.

436
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: What.

437
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: No, No, there's too many comics out there that are

438
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: put in their life on the line to tell these jokes. Man.

439
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get to your upbringing. We're gonna circle back

440
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 3: and we just I want to protect them real quick.

441
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: If you had said for the Kings of Comedy, it

442
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: was in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, but did you meet

443
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, because it came out in two thousands.

444
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: I just want to make no, no, no. So what I

445
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: meant to say was, remember he said I couldn't do

446
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: stand up anymore. I had seven TV shows. I said.

447
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: He didn't have any of those TV shows at the time.

448
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: Okay, eighteen twenty nineteen, but it came out in two thousand,

449
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: so I just want to make sure.

450
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, no, no no, what comes out in two thousand.

451
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: The original Kings of Comedy.

452
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: Right, my, I'm on BET's Comic View and they're using

453
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: this as the commercial in nineteen ninety eight.

454
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: That's why I'm saying yeah.

455
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: So if I yeah, so, if I said the date trong, yes,

456
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: So let's go clear though. Okay, you said yeah.

457
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: I had Cedric on here, and I asked him about

458
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: the joke stealing, and he said the timeline doesn't add up.

459
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Correct to your to that point, you say, right, So

460
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: he thought that I was just a no name comedian

461
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.

462
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: The issue was that I had already done this particular

463
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: joke on BT's Comic View twice. It had done so

464
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 1: well on BT's Comic View that they had made it

465
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: part of the commercial. So part of the commercial of

466
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: make sure you tune in the BT. Was you seeing

467
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: and me doing this joke? And this joke is one

468
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: of those jokes in comedy where you set it up

469
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: and it takes a little longer to set it up,

470
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: takes about three minutes, but then you're just hitting them

471
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: with jokes after that.

472
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: Because you don't have to set it up.

473
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: Mark Curry had already helped me work on this joke

474
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: because I thought it was good, because I was getting

475
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: a standing ovation on it. He had me go back

476
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: in the lab and helped me craft it to be

477
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: an even more powerful joke. So this is not just

478
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: a random joke. This is my very best joke, and

479
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: it's my last joke, and it's my closing joke. Okay,

480
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, I'm doing this joke. It's on Comic View.

481
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: Cedric comes to the comedy store, he watches me in

482
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the audience, he comes backstage, he tells me what a

483
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: great job I did and how much he loves the joke.

484
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: Two years later, he's doing that as his last joke

485
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: on the Kings of Comedy, and he's doing it verbatim.

486
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: He's just changed my car into a spaceship. Him and

487
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Steve had already apologized for me, so I gave him

488
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: a pass for a decade. Why would you sit here

489
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: and be like I talked to I saw cat thirty times.

490
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: The cat didn't do as I stand before you, Shannon,

491
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: I would a bust Cedric's stomach. There was nothing that

492
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: would have kept me from one of these in that

493
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: patch right there, Like, are you kidding me? Why would

494
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: you downplay me like that? Why did I give you

495
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: a pass if you were just gonna lie? And so

496
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like they're all a group, Cedric, Steve, Ricky,

497
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: They've been a group. Everybody knows that they've been aligned,

498
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: and there are these alliances in comedy, and if you

499
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: stand against them, then they sometimes have a problem. But

500
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: we don't let that change the content, because that's all

501
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: you know me for is that I'm quite likely to

502
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: in Dayton, Ohio. What was Cant Williams's upbringing? Life? Your

531
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: parents with Jehovah Witness. You were a prodigy, You were brilliant.

532
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 3: You talked to me that you got accepted a college

533
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: at seven years of age. You can read fluently at

534
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 3: three years of age. So having that kind of knowledge,

535
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 3: having that kind of of of of prodigy are so?

536
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: What was so? I mean with it? What was you upbringing?

537
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: How was it? How was life as Catwilliams crunk coming up?

538
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I I was often confused because I knew things and

539
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how I knew them. I knew things

540
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: that I felt like, I don't have a reason that

541
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: I know this, But I I loved to read. I

542
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: was voracious because they told me when I was young

543
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: that knowledge was powerful, that knowledge was power, and I

544
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: had studied powerful people, and I.

545
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: Really believe that.

546
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I immediately my next project was to read the whole

547
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: encyclopedia set. So when you're like six seven years old,

548
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: you read the whole encyclopedia set. You think you one

549
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: of the smartest people in the world, only to get

550
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: out in the world and find out you don't know anything.

551
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, So it was a it was a confusing time.

552
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, I had a childhood.

553
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: I was grown, but I at five years old, I

554
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: was in front of five ten thousand people given a

555
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: performance with a full suit and tie on, you know

556
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. So it hasn't it had? It came

557
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: full circle for my life. I knew that the applause

558
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: and the giving of information and laughs and truth to

559
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: people somehow benefited them and also benefited you. And yeah,

560
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: so when they would ask me what I wanted to be,

561
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: everything that I would say that I wanted to be

562
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: was something that didn't exist, and they would never give

563
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: me credit for it because I needed to say a

564
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: doctor or a lawyer.

565
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: But that's not what I wanted to be.

566
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: So your parents weren't as supportive as you would have hoped,

567
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: because you were wanting to be things when you got

568
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: older that they had no knowledge of or it didn't

569
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: exist at the time.

570
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't that. It was I'm saying, I'm I'm

571
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: almost one hundred years old, right, now. But if we

572
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: go outside right now, I can run a four to

573
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: three forty or or sub I can do a four

574
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: to one six.

575
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy John's crossed the street. We can order a sub

576
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: But oh, you've been on the submarine.

577
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: That what you saw, so so back then it was

578
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: even greater. So you got this guy that all the

579
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: coaches want to like, I don't do that. Hold on

580
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm five 't five in the fifth grade.

581
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: I've been this high as my whole life. Like there

582
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: was abortion of school where I was one of the

583
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: big dudes. Like it's as soon as everybody caught a

584
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: gross spurt, I was out of it. But I'm saying

585
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: I was a competitive individual. My father wasn't accurate, Like, like, no,

586
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I've been one hundred and forty five pounds my whole career.

587
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: That's why I never bothered when they said your cats

588
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: on drugs. I knew how you're going to prove that.

589
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: My body is a temple.

590
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: I've been the same size since I was teend.

591
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: Like what do you yeah, Like I haven't. I haven't

592
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: changed off this pivot foot. This has always been who

593
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: I was before stand up or anything. But it was

594
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: a it was an interesting childhood. I appreciate my parents,

595
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: even though I couldn't live within the religious frameworks so

596
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: what they had set up, But that was more not

597
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: wanting to live a double life and not want to

598
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: embarrass my family.

599
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, because I read were a

600
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: form of punishment for you is that they would take

601
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: books because you mentioned you were such a voracious reader,

602
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: and a form of punishment was when they would take

603
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 3: the books for because you could read fluently. You told

604
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: me how at like three or four years old, you

605
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: could read, read, read, not not just a little child's book,

606
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: but you could read read well.

607
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying when we when we go to Haiti to

608
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: do missionary work, understand that my mother and my father,

609
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: nobody that's there with us speaks French, and I mean

610
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: it speaks creole and reads French. So I'm in charge

611
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: of everything from the housing to the cars to the gardener,

612
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, So I'm not just reading. I'm reading

613
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: in multiple languages. I'm probably reading three thousand books a

614
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: year from the time that I'm eight years old to

615
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: the time that I'm twelve. No fiction books at all.

616
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm only reading nonfiction.

617
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 3: You could drive. At twelve, you received the full scholarship

618
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 3: to the National Science Academy in Dayton, Ohio. But you failed,

619
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 3: so you couldn't become so you would become ineligible. Why

620
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: did you want to take that opportunity.

621
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: I didn't see it as an opportunity. When I got

622
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: in there, all the students were wearing lab coats, and

623
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: it seemed very confined and restricted, and nobody seemed like

624
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: they were having fun. It just seemed like everybody was smart.

625
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: I didn't want that. That was That wasn't what I

626
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: was signing up for at all. And plus I thought

627
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: that I was Jesus was my big homie. So you

628
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: know how you get a story about a dude joined

629
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: the gang and get a big home. Like at this

630
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: particular point in my life, my thought is that the

631
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: Bible is the greatest book that's ever been written, that

632
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: it houses the truth, and that it gives you this

633
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: story of Jesus, and that I'm supposed to be like him.

634
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: So it's already in my head that as soon as

635
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: I get thirteen, I'm leaving you.

636
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 3: At thirteen, you the only like, okay, Mama moving out.

637
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: You moved from Ohio to Florida on your own. You

638
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: weren't afraid? I mean you like, did you?

639
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: Did you know?

640
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: So what were you going?

641
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: So?

642
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: What were you going to do when you got to Florida.

643
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Don't say I wasn't afraid. There's no such thing as

644
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: a human being of not being afraid. There are certain

645
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: human beings that understand that being afraid in no way

646
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: stops you from doing what you gotta do. Okay, So

647
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: I was afraid, but I couldn't be that afraid because

648
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: I knew what had happened with Jesus, I knew how

649
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: it worked out. I knew that I wasn't in the

650
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: wrong with how I was feeling, and I knew that

651
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: I didn't have any bad intentions in it. So I

652
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: trusted God that it would work out. Why Florida, Because

653
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: if you're raised in Ohio, the one thing on your

654
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: list is I'm gonna get away from snow, and I'm

655
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna get as far I want to go. Tell me

656
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: the place. I literally went to a truck stop and

657
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: I asked all the truck drivers where they was going.

658
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: And there was one guy going to California, and there

659
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: was one guy going to Florida. And they told me

660
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: how long it was gonna take. And so that's why

661
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: I ended up in Miami. Because how did you get

662
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: a bus me? No, I just told you I was

663
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: after truck stop I got in. I didn't hit you

664
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: like I got in the back of the dude eighteen wheeler,

665
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: me and my Rothwiler puppy and my suitcase. Yeah, because

666
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: I was. I probably had twenty five hundred dollars on

667
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: me like I like I was shoveling snow and cutting

668
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: grass like I always had a box full of money.

669
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: When did you make your decision that you were going

670
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: to leave Ohio and go somewhere and it ended up

671
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 3: being Florida? So but when did you know that you

672
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: were leaving dating Ohio going to Florida?

673
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: And my father and I his last interaction, somebody could

674
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: have not made it, and we both understood that was

675
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: all bad.

676
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: What was the disagreement about?

677
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: If you say that my family is very religious, let's

678
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: just say I'm not. So anything that I'm going to

679
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: do is not as gonna fall out of the guidelines, right,

680
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna let you tell me what I'm

681
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: going to be, even especially what you're saying is wrong.

682
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: I can't condone wrong. And if I find out that

683
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: something is wrong and I tell you what's wrong and

684
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: you don't back me, that's what it is.

685
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: Even as a young child, you were willing to tell

686
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: your parents that some of the things that you're saying

687
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: doesn't coincide to what I've been reading in the Bible.

688
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: No, no, very simply don't. Don't try to this fellowship

689
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: me for sexual accent. I'm a virgin. Sorry, God don't

690
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: make mistakes. You don't get two times to fuck me over.

691
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: What do you mean? You went to God and he

692
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: told y'all was guilty. You just lie on God so long.

693
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: That's it.

694
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 4: There's no conversation, deuces.

695
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: So that was that's when you made the decision. After

696
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: that conversation, right there, you say, no, I can't, I

697
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: can't live under this.

698
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't a conversation. It was an altercation. And the

699
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: altercation I love my father. My father loved me, but

700
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: we are two men at it that it'll never be

701
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: the same again. You can't sleep comfortably around me and

702
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't sleep comfortably around you.

703
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: How similar are you to your father?

704
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. He's a great man. I'm saying

705
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: because your butt heads, right, But I'm saying that generally

706
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: happens with a father's son dynamic. It was just that

707
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: religious relationships are always difficult in families.

708
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 4: They always are.

709
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: Before he got to the point because the dynamic he's father,

710
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: your son, before that dynamic, and you step up on

711
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 3: his level and you challenge him, you feed it was

712
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: best for you to leave.

713
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not being challenge I'm being beat

714
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: to death.

715
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 3: Oh he was abusive.

716
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I said we were in an altercation.

717
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 3: Uh, I see what you did that. I saw what

718
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: you did that. I sold you did that, cat, I

719
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: saw what you did. You was an altercation. You didn't

720
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 3: say you lost. You say you's an altercation.

721
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: I in no way gave you the impression that I

722
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: won anything. I'm the one leaving. I'm out of bounds.

723
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: This is his house, right Ye. Yeah, So as long

724
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: as I'm gonna be under his roofs, there are certain

725
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: things that I'm gonna have to do right. And the

726
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: only way that's gonna change is either this or that.

727
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: And I'm saying I had two younger brothers like I'm

728
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: not I'm not an unreasonable person. Like, I don't have

729
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: any mental issues whatsoever, despite what they lead people to believe.

730
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, I make good, pretty good decisions.

731
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: Were you not up? So how was their relationship with

732
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: your father? Were you not a to leave them?

733
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: Well, I asked, because it went all the way to

734
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: the actual department, so it was actually going to be something.

735
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: And when I asked them if they could just make

736
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: sure that my brothers didn't get separated and what have you,

737
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: they said they couldn't make those type of guarantees, that

738
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: they weren't really sure what would happen if this went down,

739
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: And so part of leaving was the hope that it

740
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: would be okay for them, because none of them experienced

741
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: what I experienced. I'm saying, I'm the oldest. It's a

742
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: lot riding on me. I'm supposed to at least religiously

743
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: hold down the family's name right at this household, you

744
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

745
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: How much older are you than the baby and the

746
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: knee baby?

747
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: Like a lot older? Like if I'm thirteen, Yeah, they're

748
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: five and.

749
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 4: In pampers.

750
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: Wow, you go to Florida, you tell the story. I've

751
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: heard you you homeless and somebody else told the story,

752
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 3: said they were homeless, and you said they hijacked your story. Now, hey,

753
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

754
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: At thirteen, I shouldn't have to tell you I'm homeless.

755
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm in Miami, Florida. I have no family members in Florida.

756
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't buy a house if I wanted to. I

757
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: couldn't get an apartment if I wanted to. I don't

758
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: have a credit history. Like this is not a stretch

759
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: for me to say that I'm homeless. I'm living in

760
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: a park in Coconut Grove. The park still exists to

761
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: this day. For eight hours a day, I would get

762
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: up and go to the library and study for eight

763
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: hours a day to increase my education. And then I

764
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: would leave out of there and go to the marina

765
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: and still car radios and make two thousand dollars almost daily,

766
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: like I had a routine.

767
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: So you and I could have played then Santa Oh,

768
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 3: thief in Santa Claus. You could have played it.

769
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: No, the Santa Claus wasn't a thief. The Santa Claus,

770
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: you can't tell me I read the script. Ricky Smiley

771
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: told you he didn't read the script. The Santa Claus

772
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: was a crackhead. He just had that outfit on. That's

773
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: what I couldn't have played, Okay, Like I couldn't have

774
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: played a black guy that got raped in the bathroom, right.

775
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 3: So any point in time did you like, Man, I

776
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 3: made a mistake. Man, I should have stayed my buddy

777
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: in Ohio. Man, because this is man, let's say what

778
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: I signed up for.

779
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: I didn't experience anything once I left home that I

780
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: hadn't signed up for. If anything had saved my life,

781
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: me being homeless for that small period of time allowed

782
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: me to see all of the people that were in

783
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: that situation and to see that these were lawyers and

784
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: doctors and creatures, and that these people were white and

785
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: black and Asian and Indian. And the only thing that

786
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: all of these homeless people had in in common was

787
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: they made a bad decision and aligned themselves with drugs.

788
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: And I interviewed them all what drug and guess what, Shannon.

789
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: Nobody had a great story. Nobody had a great story

790
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: of what meth had done for them, what crack had

791
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: done for them, with cocaine had done for them, where

792
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: heroin had done for them, with speed had done for them.

793
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: Nobody had them stories. Everybody's story was I had my

794
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: life together, and then I decided to do this dumb thing,

795
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: and I lost my wife, I lost my house, I

796
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: lost my cars, I lost my reputation, and I'm now

797
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: out here sucking penis in the woods. What talk about

798
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: scared straight, You ain't got to worry about me. If

799
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: that ain't weed or nicotine, you won't see me touching it.

800
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: I don't want no parts. I didnet seen what these

801
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: things can do to people. Anything that take over your

802
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: free will is the devil itself.

803
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about what your life would have

804
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: been had you stayed in Dayton, Ohio.

805
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: No, that's like asking somebody that's in the NBA for

806
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: fourteen years, like, what would have happened if you didn't

807
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: come to the NBA. Oh I shut her to think.

808
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was what I was made for. I

809
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: thought it was what I was built for. Anybody that

810
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: knows me will tell you that when they first met

811
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: Kat Williams, when I was Cat in the Hat, and

812
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: they tell these stories about how he changed his name. Look,

813
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is Disney sued me. Yeah,

814
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: I was Cat in the Hat. They sent me a

815
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: cease and desist letter. And I'm not even making twenty

816
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a year, and the mega company, any Disney,

817
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: has sent me a cease and desist, telling me I

818
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: can't use any variations of that name. Fine, I'm Kat Williams.

819
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: That's all that happened. I have been this same product

820
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: the entire time. They will tell you when they first

821
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: saw me doing stand up, I was just like this,

822
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: this is what I bring, this my style? When did it? When?

823
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: Did you know you was going you wanted? Were you

824
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: always funny? Did you always want to be a comedian?

825
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: Did you stumble on a comedianship?

826
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: No? I loved what they did, and so I studied them,

827
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: all of them. I studied all of the white comedians

828
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: because I wanted to know why is Monty Python funny?

829
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: Why is Don not so talented? I wanted to know

830
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: what is George Carlin's thing like where? So I studied

831
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 1: all of the comedy masters, regardless of the field, because

832
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: I loved to Like I didn't know that these people

833
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: were making a great living at doing this. I thought

834
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: this is just what they did. They tell jokes, they're

835
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: funny people. But I loved the craft, and that's why

836
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: when I got into the craft, I thought it was

837
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: my obligation to make sure that I kept writing new

838
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: materials so much that it forced these comedians to stop

839
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: doing the set they've been doing for ten years and

840
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: keep writing some new stuff. And I knew that if

841
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: I could get that to take on, that most of

842
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: these bombs would have to just quit comedy because they

843
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: can't keep up. They're not gonna keep writing an hour

844
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: worth of material. I've written an hour worth of material

845
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,479
Speaker 1: nineteen times. They're not gonna do it. Why because they're

846
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: not creative writers. They want to get somebody else to

847
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: have them write it and put it together.

848
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 3: So, if I'm listening to you, correct corregn if I'm wrong,

849
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 3: I think the best thing that ever happened with the

850
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 3: Internet because now they have to Like you said, you

851
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 3: could do a set and you do that, do that.

852
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: That's set in Kansas City. People ain't hurting in San Francisco,

853
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: people ain't hurting in Miami. They heard in Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta,

854
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 3: so forth, and so on. Now you do a set,

855
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 3: it's on the internet, somebody heard it. So you can't

856
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: do a set and look it make it last three

857
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 3: months four months.

858
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't allow the regular comic the ability to

859
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: grow is the real problem. Like the part of comedy

860
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: is me taking these jokes in January and by March

861
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: I've begun to craft this joke. It's not as simple

862
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: as it was when I wrote it. It was just

863
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: da da da da da. But now it has the

864
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: complexities of the fact that I'm having to deliver this

865
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: to a East Coast audience, a down South audience, a

866
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: Midwest audience, a Utah audience, a Colorado audience, And so

867
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: it begins to take on a different complexion because you're

868
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: having to deliver it to different people. Okay, and so

869
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: this is what sharpens your joke. You then take those

870
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: sharpened jokes that make it special, not you just randomly

871
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: take some. So it's a process. You don't allow them

872
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: to process. If the first time the guy did the joke,

873
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: now that's his joke and the joke is everywhere, that

874
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: just sets it up for people to steal.

875
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: So how many times must you tell a joke before

876
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 3: you master it?

877
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: How many times have you had to sleep with a

878
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: woman before you done with her? That's not fair. If

879
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: it's great, never if it ceases to have usefulness. So

880
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: it has been spoken, right.

881
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 3: I read that you was raised in Florida, you had

882
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 3: some help some ladies of the night.

883
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's not true. No, that whole story

884
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: doesn't take place in Florida. That story takes place in

885
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City.

886
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

887
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: So after I'm in Florida, I then join I try

888
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: to join the Marine Corps, and it won't accept me

889
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: because I'm too young, and I've lied and told them

890
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm sixteen and my family's moving down out. I don't

891
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: have my ID but it's coming, and so they let

892
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: me go to the boot camp. Blah blah blah. That's

893
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: not gonna work now, Okay, So I've learned that lesson.

894
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: So then I get this job selling stuff door to

895
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: door across the country, and so I've been to all

896
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: fifty states. Again, I'm thirty fourteen years old, so I

897
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: did that at While I'm doing that, one of the

898
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: places i'm at, I'm in Oklahoma, and I've decided I'm

899
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: gonna stay here because of meeting these ladies that.

900
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 4: You're talking about and that situation.

901
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know at the time why that's important in

902
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: my life, or why it's something I should be doing,

903
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: or any of that. But now later on. It certainly

904
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: helps me in formulating money. Mike for Friday after Next

905
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: and pimp named Slickback for the Boondocks.

906
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 3: Oklahoma. So San Francisco, Oklahoma, Sacramento. From Florida, you moved

907
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 3: to the West coast after so you traveling? When did

908
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 3: you set up shop on the West Coast?

909
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: So, I guess I'm uh eighteen or younger, and I

910
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: once I have my Once I have a child, I

911
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: realized that I can't. It's a lot of things that

912
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: I could use to make money that now is a

913
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: no go. So anything with street aspirations that I might

914
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: have thought about pursuing or being good at, I now

915
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: am a single parent and I got a redo these things.

916
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: So I need comedy to really work out for me.

917
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: And me and God go into extreme conversation where I'm

918
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: explaining to him that I'm a crash out dummy if

919
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: he don't send me a lifeline, like I need something I.

920
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 4: Can hold on to.

921
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: Before I had left Florida, I did stand up one

922
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: time because were trying to get in the club. I

923
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: didn't have ID, so I said I was a comedian.

924
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: They ended up having me do five minutes. I kept

925
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: that in my head that I had done that. When

926
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: we get to Oklahoma, they're having a competition for stand

927
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: up and if you win, you get to go out

928
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: on the road with Jeff Foxworthy and Dan Whitney who

929
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: is Larry the Cable Guy, and Richard Jenny and these

930
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: great comics. You get to open for him. And once

931
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: I did that, I realized, Okay, as a comedian, I'm

932
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: like way behind schedule out and started this too late.

933
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: All the funny guys are already funny and no names, Like,

934
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: how am I going to progress? So I realize that

935
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: I do better with a white audience than I do

936
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: with a black audience. And I'm not sure why that's occurrent,

937
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: but the white audience likes me more.

938
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 4: That's that's interesting.

939
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: So when I moved to Sacramento, it's because Sacramento has

940
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: a white and a black audience almost fifty to fifty.

941
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: That's almost the makeup of Sacramento. So I live in

942
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: Sacramento for two years until I get to the point

943
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: where I am equally as funny if the room is.

944
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 4: Black as I am if the room is white.

945
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: That's not enough. Now I need to be one of

946
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: the good ones when it comes to black comics. So

947
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: now I have to move to Oakland. And that's what

948
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: lands me in Oakland for three years. Once I have

949
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: dominated a male black comedy in Oakland to my liking,

950
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm prepared to go to Los Angeles.

951
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 4: Now, now I.

952
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: Know you can't throw me any curveballs if it's a

953
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: white audience, if it's a black audience, no matter what

954
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: they are, I'm prepared.

955
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 4: To deal with all of the audiences.

956
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 3: Do you write jokes according to the audience that you're

957
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 3: going to be in front of, or your joke universal?

958
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: Well, in the beginning, part of my framework is that

959
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm tailoring every show to this audience. Okay, And that's

960
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: how I was able to show my range and show

961
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: that I was better than my competitors, is that I'm

962
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: Kat Williams. But I was still doing clean comedy. So

963
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: I was still going to churches and doing forty five

964
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: minutes of stand up at the church with no curse words,

965
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: no sex, drug material, no none of that, just straight

966
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: stand up. And then I was doing everything else. Yeah,

967
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: that was the range. Is that where when in do

968
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: as the Romans do? So that's how I started. But

969
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: as you begin to get better, you begin to be

970
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: able to speak.

971
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 4: To your entire fan base.

972
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: And that's really what's been helpful is that I've been

973
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: having the same conversation with my fan base for twelve

974
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: comedy specials.

975
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 3: Is that what said Cat Williams Apart is your range

976
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 3: is that you can do a comedy do forty five

977
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 3: minutes from the church. I can go to a comedy

978
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 3: club in front of two fifty, or I can go

979
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 3: into arena with fifteen thousand. That's range because everybody can't

980
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 3: do that.

981
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: Cat, Well, if that's what range is called, then then yeah,

982
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: it's range. But I like the people I'm talking to.

983
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So it's not like it

984
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 1: can't be condescending because I'm talking to my white male friend.

985
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 4: When I'm telling that white joke.

986
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: Right when I'm talking about this joke about this black lady,

987
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: I know that black lady. That's who I'm talking to.

988
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm speaking to this fan base that I've

989
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: been speaking to from the beginning. I already told them

990
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: what I was on when I first came in. I

991
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: told them they was gonna come after me, they was

992
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna cancel me, they was going say terrible things about

993
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: me and try to mess my life up. I said

994
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: that coming in to stand up. I'm saying it.

995
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 3: Well, you knew it was gonna be.

996
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: It has to be. I know I'm going into the

997
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: belly of the beast. How could I be naive? I

998
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: know that I'm going into Satan's playground, But I'm trying

999
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: to be so good that you got to bring me

1000
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: in so close that I can see who's doing what

1001
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: and what's going on in there.

1002
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 3: In San Francisco, you joined the Nation.

1003
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 4: I was ever in San Francisco. I was in Oakland.

1004
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: You was an Oakland Did you join the nation? Is that?

1005
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Minister, honorable Minister far Con and I have an

1006
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: extremely close relationship. He refers to me as one of

1007
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: his sons. So yeah, I spent a particular period of time.

1008
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: Let me explain, because my particular background was already religious

1009
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: and super strict, right. I didn't find out about other

1010
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: religions by reading about them. I went to their religion.

1011
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to learn from Jewish people from outside.

1012
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: I want to be in a synagogue. I don't want

1013
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: to learn about Muslim people from I want to be

1014
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: in a mosque. I don't want to hear about the

1015
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: Baptist or the Pentecostal. I want to go to their church,

1016
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: let's see. And so that was the religious discovery that

1017
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: I was on through that period.

1018
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 4: In my life.

1019
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: When did you know you were funny?

1020
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: Probably about ten years ago. Ten years ago, yeah, about

1021
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: ten years So.

1022
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 3: You didn't think. So you didn't think as a child

1023
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 3: because obviously you said the very structured background, your family

1024
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 3: was very religious, so obviously you didn't get an opportunity.

1025
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, like I never did a talent show. I

1026
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: was never any any extracurricular activities. I was never in drama.

1027
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: I was never in band camp. I was never a

1028
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,439
Speaker 1: boy scout.

1029
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 3: You stay in school old enough to get for it

1030
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 3: because you dropped.

1031
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: You understand, you understand. So there was no like, I

1032
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't tolerate high school games. I didn't go

1033
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: to high school. Don't. I don't know how most of

1034
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: the games they think I play, I'm not even aware

1035
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: of them.

1036
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 3: But cap for you to get on stage. And like

1037
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 3: I said, a lot of people, like a lot of

1038
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 3: comedians that I had a few here, they're like, okay,

1039
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: you know I told Joe to get girls. I told

1040
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 3: Joe to you know, get people to laugh at someone else.

1041
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: But you It's like you say, you did comedy one

1042
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: time in Florida's Yeah, and you had this other opportunity

1043
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 3: like in Oklahoma that they were gonna take you out

1044
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 3: if you won the talent show, You're gonna go in

1045
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 3: the road with these these well known comedians.

1046
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: And I did.

1047
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying how in Florida at thirteen fourteen

1048
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 3: years of man, you like sixteen? I could do that.

1049
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: Well because I knew that there were a lot of

1050
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: other things I could do, Like when I looked at

1051
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: drug dealers, I thought I could do that. Yeah, But

1052
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean so right, and who doesn't like that? Right,

1053
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out I'm gonna make it, but

1054
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: now that I gotta do it on this side. But no,

1055
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: your question was when did I think I was funny?

1056
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: I never was my biggest fan. To this day, I'm

1057
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: not the biggest fan. I'm a fan of comedy. I

1058
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: like great comedians, like I like Chappelle, I like Patresa O'Neill,

1059
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: like I like the greats of comedy because I do

1060
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: like I like Ron White, I like Bill Enball, like

1061
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I know comics like people that did the craft. They

1062
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: raised me. I was torn with Steve Marmel and Richard

1063
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: Jenny and real journeyman. So my comedy upbringing was standard.

1064
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: I thought you had to work all night, every night,

1065
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: all around the country, and you had to write jokes,

1066
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and that you were trying to write jokes that other

1067
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: people weren't writing, and that your job was to be funnier.

1068
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: People that know me will tell you I've been on this.

1069
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: I had a list of all the black comedians that

1070
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: were more famous than me.

1071
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 4: There was three hundred of them on the.

1072
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: List, and I had to be able to cross them

1073
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: all out before I could make it to the next level.

1074
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Before I felt like I was funny enough to do that.

1075
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate what competition does for sports, and

1076
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: for my particular sport and comedy is a sports.

1077
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 3: What gave you the comedists that you could get on stage?

1078
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: You remember I was five years old on stage. Okay,

1079
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: that's but I was reiterating God's word at that point. Now,

1080
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I just have to make sure that the content is good.

1081
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: If the content is good, what part can I not do.

1082
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm a vessel. He's given me these gifts to be

1083
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: able to do certain things, so I just want to

1084
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: utilize them in my craft, that's all.

1085
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: Do you remember your first set? How about five ten minutes?

1086
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: No?

1087
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 4: No, I think three minutes, three.

1088
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Minutes standing ovation, bulls, some some.

1089
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Jeers, No, none of that. They they appallauded like I

1090
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: was a professional at it. But now looking back, I understand,

1091
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: because you got to understand, they were all thinking, he

1092
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: don't even look old enough to be in here, and

1093
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: we don't have any black guys that live in this town, right,

1094
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: where did he come from? And then he gets up

1095
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 1: there and for three minutes he talked about the fact

1096
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: that he is the entire black community, right, and he

1097
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: is as disappointed in them. It looked like they looking

1098
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: for where the rest of them is, and so is he,

1099
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: And that was his set. But I understood from that

1100
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: point that the truth is really the commodity and the

1101
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: fact that we are all individuals and all separate and

1102
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: all our own islands.

1103
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 4: But not in real life.

1104
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: In real life, it's only five or six different types

1105
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: of people, and you gonna see them everywhere that you go,

1106
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: and all, like all my enemies all look the same

1107
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: in the eyes, whether it's faise on wander Aria spears.

1108
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: They all look like and what you got to give sight?

1109
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 3: You think.

1110
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't rumor that, sir. Wander Sights and wander Smith

1111
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: are two separate people. And I.

1112
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Wander Sights amazing.

1113
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: I love Wanda, and I agree, I love that's my girl.

1114
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 3: But I remember on the radio. You went on the

1115
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 3: radio interview, if I'm not mistake that at right, and

1116
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 3: you came on there with seemingly good intention, and she

1117
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 3: attacked you.

1118
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that part. It was the fact that

1119
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: before I go in there, she has a conversation about Okay, now,

1120
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I just want to talk to you because you just

1121
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: wanted Emmy for the city of Atlanta and this isn't Atlanta,

1122
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: and they just want to hear about the Emmy and

1123
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: hear from you and to thank you for what you

1124
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: did putting the city on. And we won't talk about

1125
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: your kids, we won't talk about jail, no cases, we

1126
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: ain't gonna talk about none of that. And immediately gets

1127
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: in there and goes to opposite way. You can't flip

1128
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: up on me because you're an inferior comedian. I'm going

1129
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: to destroy you and I'm never gonna call you out

1130
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: of your name. I'm never gonna say anything disrespectful the

1131
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: people that look like you.

1132
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 4: It's a very thin line.

1133
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: I got a call, but this lady is trying to

1134
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: embarrass me in front of a largely homosexual fan base.

1135
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: That's why she got canceled. Gay people don't take it

1136
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: kindly that you would as a derogatory call me gay.

1137
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: Gay people don't feel like it's derogatory, So why are

1138
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: you trying to shame me with something in the community

1139
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't even belong in. There's no gay people saying

1140
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I belong over there or been over there, But I

1141
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: have no hatred of over there. And how dare you.

1142
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 3: You did though?

1143
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: Hey you did a numb on that's vegetary. No, you

1144
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: either believe in karma or you don't. Because I didn't

1145
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,959
Speaker 1: even know any of the stuff that she had done

1146
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: to my fellow comedians until afterwards. I just know she

1147
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: that it was a setup. And remember they they tried

1148
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: to kill me this same weekend, not in jokes, with

1149
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: a real gun, in my real face, on real camera. Understand,

1150
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: I'm losing my life for participating in something that goes

1151
01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: along with my.

1152
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 3: Job like this.

1153
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Two comedians, what do you mean, and the world was

1154
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: okay with it because it was me. Had that happened

1155
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: to anyone else, The world went crazy when Will Smack

1156
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: smacked Chris. This is a person pulling a whole gun

1157
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: on a comedian in the confines of their job. It's

1158
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: really a weird situation when they hate you that bad.

1159
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you felt she hated you at that moment

1160
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 3: because you mentioned that she said he was going to

1161
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 3: be very professional. All you want to enemy, congratulations, you

1162
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 3: put the city on you own for the city, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1163
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: And now did she mention anything about the Emmy on camera?

1164
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: I believe you saw the video and you know that

1165
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: none of that took place. See that. The issue is

1166
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that all the comedians have to come do these radio

1167
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: stations because you have to sell your tickets, and so

1168
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: that means you have to go to the radio. Yes,

1169
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't go to the radio station, and I don't

1170
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: make posts to sell tickets.

1171
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 4: I just don't. So you've not seen me. I haven't.

1172
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm not here in some subservient position where somebody sent

1173
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: me over.

1174
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm you hear out of the counts of your heart,

1175
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 3: you are no, No.

1176
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, in yes, situations, yeah, let's sure, Yeah and

1177
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: this person knew I wasn't there for that, or yeah, it's.

1178
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 3: But how hard because you have to understand she is

1179
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 3: a female, and so you have to be careful. You

1180
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 3: have to handle her with kid gloves.

1181
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 1: Sir, Sir, you want to go ahead and take that out.

1182
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: You don't want to be against equality.

1183
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 3: Dude, don't.

1184
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: What you just said was very unequal.

1185
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:49,919
Speaker 3: Sir.

1186
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: But you think maybe you've had enough for this because

1187
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: I think I just heard you saying that women are

1188
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: not equal as you be treated on each and they

1189
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: want to be treated me as a comedian.

1190
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 3: No, no, they want Listen, you understand, and I understand

1191
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 3: in certain situations they want to be treated equal, not

1192
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 3: all situations.

1193
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: And and what part of what you saw her get

1194
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: what part would have been different if she was a man.

1195
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,560
Speaker 1: It would have just been more vicious.

1196
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: That's my point.

1197
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: I took all the vicious and bent them a way

1198
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: because I didn't have any Plus, I understood, I'm not

1199
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: trying to offend black women with short hair. I'm not

1200
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: trying to offend heavyset women. I'm not trying to upset

1201
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: fellow comedians I'm not trying to do any of that,

1202
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: and I can't. I am qualified to be able to

1203
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: do none of that and still eviscerate you because I'm

1204
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: smart enough to know that I need to say that

1205
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you have gnarled fingers because I know you're living that

1206
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: education means you don't know what the word means, so

1207
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: you can't possibly respond to it. You're not sure of

1208
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the meaning. And I'm going to continue hitting you because

1209
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: this is what comedians do. You've been masquerating that you're

1210
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: a comedian.

1211
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 4: Too, and that's the fallacy.

1212
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: So nobody in boxing fights out of their weight class.

1213
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: If you're a one hundred and thirty pounder, you don't

1214
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: just show up with the one sixty pounders.

1215
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:28,759
Speaker 4: You stay in your weight class.

1216
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Is that what you wanted to do? That she was

1217
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 3: out of her league when it came to because.

1218
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do any of it. I know

1219
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: you didn't want it to do it, But.

1220
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 3: Once she took it there, did you feel that you

1221
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 3: had to go there? Oh you? You could have said, Wanda,

1222
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 3: I didn't come here for that. I just want to

1223
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 3: do the interview. I just want to talk about what happened.

1224
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh you misunderstand my job. My job is to be funny. Haha.

1225
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: My job is to be funny first. My first job

1226
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: is to be funny. My second job is to be respectful.

1227
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: My third job is to be immaculate and gaza strip it. Uh,

1228
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: that's non political. I'm saying. If you do it, you

1229
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: let a terrorist accidentally touch over here, and I won't

1230
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: stop burning you down until there ain't nothing left. It'll

1231
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: literally be rubble on top of rubble, and I'll still

1232
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:25,839
Speaker 1: be bombing. Why, Because that's why you should mind your business.

1233
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: This is what f around and find out is about.

1234
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 3: Right. Have you ever been boot capped?

1235
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, I have.

1236
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 3: What was that feeding like? Did it like want to

1237
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 3: give up? Because we don't? I mean because when you have.

1238
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how early it was in

1239
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 3: your career. Obviously it hadn't been in the I don't

1240
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 3: think it's in the last decade. You because you've been emaculate.

1241
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Have you ever dropped the past? I have, I've been,

1242
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, the little segment between everything is fine and

1243
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: I got it and then you noticing where it is now. Yeah,

1244
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: it's that the thing about as a comedian. The audience's

1245
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: opinion is the only opinion that matters, not you the writer,

1246
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: not none of that. And so I don't think any

1247
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: comedian has ever been booed unnecessarily either. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1248
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying. What what do they

1249
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: say when a guy shoots airball in the NBA? They

1250
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: say air ball and make sure everybody knows. But again,

1251
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: he still got to get back on d like the

1252
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: game didn't end. He don't get throw his hands up

1253
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: and sunk. That's supposed to be used as a learning experience.

1254
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Most comedians don't get booed enough. I mean, this is

1255
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: how you end up with a Michael Blackson who's a

1256
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: real African doing a fake African accent. Okay, this guy

1257
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: is mad at me. All I did was give him

1258
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: the best advice of his life. Remember he was wearing

1259
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: dirty this sheek, and I told him he needed to

1260
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: dress to be in the position that he's trying to

1261
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: say that he's in. And if you're the African King

1262
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: of comedy, sir, there's actually comedians in Africa doing comedy.

1263
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say that, you gotta go to Africa

1264
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: and get a school, dude. Everybody got you gotta put

1265
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: in some work. And these guys they take my advice,

1266
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: they change their whole persona, and then they hate me

1267
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: for it. And generally I'm just too big to comment

1268
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: or make a statement about it, or do a live

1269
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: or any of that. But when it gets to be

1270
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: a whole grouping of these guys, I gotta come and

1271
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: talk to Shannon. I gotta lay it down at the alter.

1272
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 3: You know every comedian this.

1273
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: This is the other side of Kirk Franklin, Prince, this

1274
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,360

1277
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Because that's not what you said. You said, I know

1278
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: every you know every comedian you're limiting me.

1279
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Oh, you watched every episode because you you know things.

1280
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 3: You know things.

1281
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: That That's always where I'm trying to come from, whether

1282
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: it's comedic or otherwise. That's why even if you see

01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: and talk to us. Nah, they respect that every time

1296
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 3: It's not a rhetorical question.

1297
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: It's a question that probably should have been asked to entertainer.

1298
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm asking you.

1299
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,080

1305
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: That's for certain. That's the difference. That's what these comics

1306
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: understand is that I'm not doing nothing for Cloud.

1307
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 4: I don't even recognize Cloud.

1308
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,720

1311
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,120

Speaker 1: I go in the building, he walk out. You've never

1313
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: seen us in the same building ever in twenty five years.

1314
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: Like it's like that. Why why? Because I'm really the product.

1315
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: It's not what you think. I am never under the

1316
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: influence of anything. I'm always in my right mind. I'm

1317
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: always a physical specimen. And when you see me, I'm

1318
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: much much bigger than you had thought. I have far

1319
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: less play in me than you would like, and I'm relentless.

1320

Speaker 3: Just I thought you was gonna say a thousand.

1332
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because this is literally every day. This

Speaker 3: mean that, I mean everybody talked me money might is

1383
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 3: how how did you come up with that? And says,

1384
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 3: you know what, this is how you should dress, This

1385
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 3: is how you should talk, this is how you should look,

1386
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 3: this is the kind of whipyeh ride, this is how

1387
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 3: we should talk.

1388
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: So if you'll remember that that was my first movie,

1389
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: just understand that what I did then I've done with

1390
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: every single role, whether it was an Emmy winning role

1391
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,560
Speaker 1: or whether it wasn't, whether I was playing somebody homeless,

1392
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: whether I was playing a dirty vagabond on Atlanta, or

1393
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: whether it was an eccentric guy in First Sunday. Regardless

1394
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: of what the role is, the first thing I do

1395
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: is erase me from it. Okay, So anything that I

1396
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: would naturally do, that's what I'm not gonna do because

1397
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm playing a different characters, right, So I then create

1398
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 1: this person based upon real life circumstances. So I don't

1399
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: have to wonder what a pimp thinks, cause I've been

1400
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 1: in that position for a little while. I also worked

1401
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,560
Speaker 1: manual labor for some time in my life, so I

1402
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: don't have a problem paying somebody that works. And I

1403
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: don't have a problem being a go getter, cause I'm

1404
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: a go getter. So I bring whatever I can to

1405
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 1: these characters. I was able to the first week that

1406
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: I got the script. There was a pimp guy that

1407
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: used to be a pimp, but he wasn't anymore. He

1408
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: was a rapper now and his name was Macminster, and

1409
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: he have been a pimp and was geting to be

1410
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: a rapper. And I had never done a movie before.

1411
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 4: I was a stand up.

1412
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: And I'm getting ready to do the movie, and so

1413
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: I was able to craft what a real pimp was

1414
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: like what was too much? I didn't want to be stereotypical.

1415
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: I did the research. I saw how many times people

1416
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: played pimps, and they were always it was always something

1417
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: weird about them. I guess, because it's a weird job,

1418
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I wanted somebody that

1419
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: didn't seem like none of that, that he really thought

1420
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: it was a business and treated it like that, and

1421
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: so you know those adding those levels to acting is

1422
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 1: what all actors do if they're not Steve or Cedric

1423
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,799
Speaker 1: or Ricky. Like you're trying to create a character.

1424
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 4: You don't.

1425
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: You can't just be Phason in every movie, like you're

1426
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: just gonna take your shirt off on every movie. Like,

1427
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,799
Speaker 1: why does it say that in your script?

1428
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 3: Man, let big warm leave, let him breathe, Cat, bigt

1429
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 3: let big warm breed call him out.

1430
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:21,839
Speaker 1: Now, you having an unnatural allegiance to losers.

1431
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 4: And it's not like.

1432
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 3: You, No, I ain't got no allegiance to the man.

1433
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 3: But you gotta admit the role that he played big work,

1434
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 3: I mean big Peram in Friday. Now you gotta get

1435
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 3: him credit for the role.

1436
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: Now come on, now, let me ask you a question. Yes,

1437
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: if what you're saying is correct, why wasn't here next

1438
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: Friday or Friday after next?

1439
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 3: I mean his role, I mean it wasn't good. Sorry,

1440
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 3: there was a lot of people that didn't that appeared

1441
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 3: in the first one that weren't in the second one.

1442
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: Cat, I'm just telling you why. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

1443
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: that it's a there's a news flash that there are

1444
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: reasons for things in the business. Yes, oh okay, well

1445
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 1: would you? Why would you? Why did you bitch? D lo?

1446
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: He had two points. What are you talking about? Shut up?

1447
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: But I like him. Nobody cares about that. That's not

1448
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. These are business conversations that deal

1449
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 1: with businessmen, right right. When you're good at something, you

1450
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: should regress. The guys that are not as good, they

1451
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: should fall down by the wayside. That's natural.

1452
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,759
Speaker 3: There were they so you believe, if your talent doesn't

1453
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 3: support it, you should fall by the wayside. And the

1454
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 3: guys that have the talent and they get elevated, they

1455
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:32,760
Speaker 3: should move.

1456
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: No, that's what water says. That's what the universe say.

1457
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: The universe say the levels. No, I don't not, I say,

1458
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 1: am I I'm nobody, But I'm working every day as

1459
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: if I think.

1460
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 4: That's what should happen, is how it should be.

1461
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: And I'm choosing comedians that also write and work hard

1462
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: and don't steal other people's material. And I'm making sure

1463
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:01,799
Speaker 1: that they all make three hundred thousand dollars a season,

1464
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 1: and I'm making sure that they're not ever signed to

1465
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,520
Speaker 1: me or my conglomerant.

1466
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 4: And that's why they're successful.

1467
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: No, you can work with me and still be an

1468
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: independent businessman, boss owner like you came in. I don't

1469
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: need you to be subservient to me. That's those other

1470
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: guys that make you pay dues.

1471
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 3: You said earlier that you rewrote a lot of what

1472
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 3: money might was to say and how he behaved. So

1473
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 3: they allowed you the freedom, the liberty to add lib.

1474
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 1: How much would they allow you to just make an

1475
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: interception if it didn'tbody talk about it? As a football player,

1476
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,600
Speaker 1: if the ball on your way, can you just grab it?

1477
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Can you make an interception anytime? Are you allowed to

1478
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 1: pick up any fumble? You can do any hustling? Right? Oh, okay,

1479
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 1: same here, same here.

1480
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 3: But here's the thing though, as an offensive player, they

1481
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 3: might make me add lib once I get a couple

1482
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 3: of years into my Really, they wouldn't let me add

1483
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 3: lib as a rookie. That was your first movie.

1484
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: I I told you the conversation in my first movie

1485
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: just because I'm I am committed to laughs. The only

1486
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: way I made it past those three hundred comedians. I

1487
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't tell you this. What it required is I had

1488
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: to watch all three hundred comedians ten times a piece.

1489
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: I watched your set ten times of you performing whoever

1490
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 1: you were, and then I counted how many laughs you

1491
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: got every time you did these amount of minutes. So

1492
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 1: if you told me this s comedian had told me

1493
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: he did thirty minutes, I could tell you that he

1494
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: got twenty six laughs in that thirty minutes because I

1495
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: had done the numbers on everybody. So I didn't just

1496
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: say I was funnier. I knew I was funnier than

1497
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: the comic you liked, and I could tell you how

1498
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: many jokes funnier I was, because that's how we judge

1499
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: stand up. You do fifteen minutes, I do fifteen minutes.

1500
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: How do I know I'm funnier than you Cause you

1501
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: got six las and I got sixteen. I'm almost three

1502
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: times better than you, low key boy boy. But I'm

1503
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: never gonna tell you the formula, so you gonna keep

1504
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: just going out there filling jokes. Not understand it that

1505
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: I psychologically the audience by ten years is convinced that

1506
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm funnier than you. They just don't know why, because

1507
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm putting out more content better.

1508
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 3: I had Terry Crews on here. He said. At the

1509
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 3: time that you did the movie, you were homeless, is

1510
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 3: that true?

1511
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 1: This was my situation. I five months prior to me

1512
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: getting this first audition for Friday after next, I got

1513
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: this baby's son. I'm holding him up above me. He

1514
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 1: grabs my little chain. He's playing with it, and he

1515
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,719
Speaker 1: accidentally drops it. It breaks out my front two teeth.

1516
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm in a situation now where when I go to

1517
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: the dentist, they telling me this's gonna cost thousands and

1518
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to fix this, right, They not telling

1519
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: me what it's gonna look like. I go get a

1520
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 1: estimate with no money evolved, find out what I need

1521
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: to do. They find out you got a tumor in

1522
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 1: your upper jaw, so we gonna have to do a

1523
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 1: whole surgery for you.

1524
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a hundred bands. I don't have it.

1525
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 4: I don't have it, and.

1526
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna have this check from this movie. So

1527
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: while I'm doing this movie, we live in this trailer.

1528
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 4: This where we live.

1529
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: So when they come to work at five in the morning,

1530
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: we already there. When they leave at night, we still there.

1531
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: We just double back because we understood that this is

1532
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: our one opportunity, and we have this opportunity to change

1533
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: our lives just like a young man going for the dreft.

1534
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: We can actually get in the league with this. There

1535
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: are thirty comedians on this cast. They're all magnificent. This

1536
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: is the holy grail of the situation. So yeah, I

1537
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: was able to make sure that because it wasn't just

1538
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 1: my first movie. It was KD. Albert's first movie. It

1539
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: was Terry Crew's first movie. I was the leader of

1540
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: this group, which meant that we did We didn't do

1541
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 1: their rehearsals they did rehearsal. We did our own rehearsals

1542
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: daily to make sure that we were at the level

1543
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 1: of professional actors, which is what made it so egregious

1544
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:42,719
Speaker 1: that guy say I was supposed to you were supposed

1545
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to what.

1546
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 3: Kendy did have a good part in the movie. Man

1547
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 3: Santa Claus was funny.

1548
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: Man the dude said the entire time we're filming, I

1549
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: can't play this role. They got a bandone over my

1550
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: nose and my mouth my thrown in, So yeah, tell

1551
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 1: your story. He's ten.

1552
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 3: Crews also said that you guys had a lot of

1553
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,560
Speaker 3: conversation that this was your opportunity and you needed to

1554
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 3: seize this moment.

1555
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 1: Terry had the benefit of having been in some very

1556
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: high profile situations already and took ls like he had

1557
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: been in the league, you know what I mean. He

1558
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: he had done pro wrestling, he had done a lot

1559
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: of things, he had been televised and some things that

1560
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 1: hadn't worked, and.

1561
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 4: This was just fortuitous for him.

1562
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: And now, you know what nobody has ever said in

1563
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: the whole industry in twenty years about, you know, the

1564
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 1: whole money might not getting raped in the bathroom, right,

1565
01:29:56,200 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: So I understood going in that There's no reason I

1566
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: lost every for a five year period, every single movie

1567
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been

1568
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: on my desk that all I had said was just

1569
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: can we take some of this step and fetch it

1570
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 1: shit out and then I can do it like it

1571
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: don't need to be overtly homosexual because I'm not homosexual, right,

1572
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't need that to be funny, right, And me

1573
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: saying that and them going oh, yeah, no problem, and

1574
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 1: then going to give it to this other guy and

1575
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 1: having him do it just like it was, and acting

1576
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: like I'm a bad person because I keep standing on

1577
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: my standard. But yeah, it's interesting, but I wouldn't change

1578
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: it for the world. Like again, I'm I'm on the

1579
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 1: winning these decisions.

1580
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 3: You know. Look, I've had Cube, I've talked to Cbe.

1581
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 3: A lot of people say Cube doesn't pay. What's your

1582
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 3: relationship with you? And what did that opportunity mean for you?

1583
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Well, the ungrateful bastards that would say anything about Q's payment,

1584
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 1: you shouldn't even talk to them anymore. Like you don't.

1585
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: You don't go to good Will. You don't go to

1586
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: a good will thrift store and go look at all

1587
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: this cheap, bad shit. Won't you shut up? Won't you

1588
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 1: shut up? You could have went to her mess. Why

1589
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: you didn't go to blind Ciaga? Why you didn't get

1590
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: a bow to the ball Maine? You want to have

1591
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: that conversation? What do you mean the independent black dude

1592
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: who's filming it partly out of his fucking pocket? What

1593
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: do you mean he didn't pay you enough? They wear

1594
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 1: those weird those that felt like they earned the opportunity

1595
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 1: because they were big.

1596
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 4: No, No, I understand that.

1597
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 3: Ain't a million dollar movie. I mean, how much did

1598
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 3: you expect you was gonna make?

1599
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Well? I made enough to get them teeth fixed, just

1600
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: like you did. Yeah, so it was no harm, no foul.

1601
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 1: I knew that I was gonna go from there, and

1602
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: there was no.

1603
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 3: You gonna turn it back with cat will you?

1604
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:10,679
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, I wrote it. What I'm saying,

1605
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if I did it, and I did a

1606
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 1: good job at it, you can thank me. I was involved, right,

1607
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna come later on and tell you I

1608
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 1: never even read the whole script. So how you know

1609
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 1: when Roes? What? What do you mean? You never read that? Like, like,

1610
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: these guys, whole job is to present something, unfortunately, and

1611
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm just not a presenter. If you asked me a question,

1612
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you the truth of how I went.

1613
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 3: Would you be willing to do another Friday.

1614
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:46,759
Speaker 1: Qube already asked me to write it? I was supposed

1615
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 1: to have been writing it. That's this is what these

1616
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: guys are mad about. Like we lost some great people

1617
01:32:55,360 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: before this movie could come out, regardless, and so yes,

1618
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: they're desperately needs to be one. But we miss John

1619
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: Witherspoon in a way that can't really be quantified.

1620
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 4: If I'm being honest with you.

1621
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: And the Chris Tucker that we got now is Epstein

1622
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 1: Ireland Chris Tucker or not Smoky who if I didn't

1623
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: know no better, I tell you he's the greatest. I

1624
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: don't get what you say. To be confident and not

1625
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 1: delusional is a real skill. Most of these confident people

1626
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: we see is really the lousion.

1627
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 3: Well you don't think, you don't think. They ask Chris

1628
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 3: Tucker to come back in the second in the in

1629
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 3: the second Friday, smoky, Smokey was all in smoky. There

1630
01:33:58,520 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 3: ain't no Friday without smoking.

1631
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 1: We all agree to that. And there's no next Friday

1632
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: without Friday. And there's no Friday after next.

1633
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 3: With us about the road because you said that, they don't.

1634
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 1: It's a Chris was allowed to make the decision at

1635
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: the time that this is happening. Kat Williams is known

1636
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,719
Speaker 1: for smoking weed. Willie Nelson is known for smoking weed.

1637
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Snoops known for smoking weed. But none of us is

1638
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 1: really known except will it. And I'm saying Chris Tucker

1639
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to be the poster child for smoking weed.

1640
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,600
Speaker 1: He don't smoke weed like that, right He in the

1641
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: church he Michael Jackson's best friend, Christmas. Michael Jackson called

1642
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 1: him Christmas. You ever met a man that, yeah, you

1643
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: a little nickname like that? Me? Neither must be the

1644
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 1: greatest man.

1645
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be able to get nobody back, or

1646
01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be able to get no mocalmedias.

1647
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 1: They all coming. Are you kidding? Hey?

1648
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 3: All the rest of the I'd have gotten was I.

1649
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Promise you, everybody trying to double back, you're gonna be

1650
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: to beat him off with a stick. You won't let him.

1651
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,759
Speaker 1: You're goomenough much as.

1652
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:24,480
Speaker 3: You're on Death Comedy Jam Comic View, what were those experiences?

1653
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Like?

1654
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 3: What do you what do you remember most about Death

1655
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 3: Comedy Jam and Comic View?

1656
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 1: Comic View was everything. Comic View was really the break

1657
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: and not Friday after Next, just because Comic View was

1658
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 1: just three thousand of your stand up peers and we

1659
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 1: just throw sets of all of them up there and

1660
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 1: we see who the audience likes, who do they like?

1661
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 1: And it was a great, wild, wild West time to

1662
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: be involved in comedy. And the same is true for

1663
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: death Jam because hip hop, you was a fad at

1664
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: one time, and hip hop ain't gonna last and why

1665
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: are you doing that? And that's how it was for

1666
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 1: blue comedy. If you were a comedian that cussed, you

1667
01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: were ridiculed by the mainstream Comedy Geist. That would be

1668
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 1: like me being on Joe Rogan. Joe don't want me

1669
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:23,599
Speaker 1: on there. I need to be on Shannon Joe. Joe

1670
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 1: got six comedians that never been funny. He want to

1671
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 1: push out. But that's really how it is. I'm so sorry.

1672
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm competitive. You an athlete?

1673
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? Yeah, I can tell you understand. Will there

1674
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 3: ever be another com you death comedy jam? Could that

1675
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 3: in today? Twenty four, twenty six? Could we see that again?

1676
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 1: They've already announced it. It's already going you didn't know, Yeah,

1677
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart purchased it, so he's now doing a comed

1678
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: view that captained at the same time that they gave

1679
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: DC Young Fly Hollywood Squares. Yeah, because they tell you

1680
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:04,559
Speaker 1: that there's no gatekeepers, but we keep seeing the same

1681
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: people open the gate. They didn't kend to open the game.

1682
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 1: Let Tiffany in, ain't he now opening it up? Don't

1683
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: such and such open the game? But what you mean,

1684
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 1: ain't no gatekeepers? There's one hundred gates out here? Would

1685
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 1: you everyone I've seen got a keeper?

1686
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 3: Would you have wanted to do comic view or death

1687
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,120
Speaker 3: Comedy Jam? Would you have wanted to be I.

1688
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: Think we just mentioned I did them both.

1689
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying he purchased the rights and refranchise it.

1690
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 1: Nope, they didn't offer it to me anyway, Like Comic

1691
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: View did a couple of disservices to comedy as well.

1692
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: So there were people like me that were out there

1693
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 1: getting two and three standing ovations in one set, and

1694
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 1: that wasn't good for television. So what they did was

1695
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 1: they started making everybody get a standing ovation, so they

1696
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: would tell the audience when they get off stage, everybody

1697
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: get up in chair. And so now the fact that

1698
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm the only one out there going to get standing

1699
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:12,240
Speaker 1: ovations is now making people think everybody get a standing ovation,

1700
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 1: and that's not how comedy is. So I understood why

1701
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: that couldn't go anymore because remember Ricky Smiley sat right

1702
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:22,640
Speaker 1: here and told you a story about how he performed

1703
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:26,360
Speaker 1: with Mike Epps and Cat Williams when he did a

1704
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Comic View, and to let him tell it, he was

1705
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 1: funnier than both My name lived there. You're talking about

1706
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 1: the special needs. That's good.

1707
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 3: That's a different That was a different time.

1708
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 1: Cat, No, it wasn't. It wasn't the time I was there.

1709
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: But I'm saying that time this time, same times. No,

1710
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, just like people that tell you the

1711
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 1: Egyptians they're not black, egypt is in Africa, folks. As

1712
01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: long as Egypt is in Africa, then as are African.

1713
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 3: Do you believe you could tell the same jokes today

1714
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 3: as when you started out? I mean edid Murphrai'd not

1715
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 3: telling those jokes, Richard prob wouldn't be able to tell

1716
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 3: those jokes in twenty twenty four that they told in

1717
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 3: the seventies, in the eighties.

1718
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 1: So they wouldn't have total But that's my point. They're

1719
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 1: not inferior people. No, if they were in this time,

1720
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: they would be going according to our time, just like

1721
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: then we were going according to that like. That's how

1722
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 1: it is in the world. There are words that we

1723
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:33,599
Speaker 1: can use for a while, and when we use them

1724
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: for a while, until somebody says that ain't a good word,

1725
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: we should stop saying that. Correct, that don't make people

1726
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: feel good, And we stopped saying the word, and we

1727
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 1: move on to another word. You can't say to our word.

1728
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: You can certainly say special needs, you can certainly say spectrums.

1729
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: You get there are things that you can say to

1730
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: get your point that don't have to hurt people, but

1731
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 1: you would know that if what you did was construct

1732
01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 1: the English language for a living, then you would understand

1733
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: that part.

1734
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 3: You financed your first stand up, you had twenty It

1735
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 3: cost you twenty two thousand, You had twenty five to

1736
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:14,040
Speaker 3: your name. Why did you decide to do that? You

1737
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 3: believe that much in.

1738
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,720
Speaker 1: Cat I believe that much in business and business the

1739
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,759
Speaker 1: goal is for you to become independent and be the boss,

1740
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 1: take the responsibility and also get the profit.

1741
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 3: Okay, that's all.

1742
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 1: How can I be looking for you to put me

1743
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 1: on if I wouldn't and if I can't show you

1744
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: what you missed out on, why would you believe me? Now?

1745
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 1: The fact that I was able to do it twelve

1746
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: times cool, That's the real thing. The part that I'm

1747
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: able to do it all across the country. The fact

1748
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 1: that every time I do a tour or special, you

1749
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:59,640
Speaker 1: think that's sponsored by somebody. Nobody did a good job. No, No,

1750
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 1: just the guy they're kicking around, just the one that

1751
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: might mentally not be all there. He's the one picking

1752
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,599
Speaker 1: the outfits, writing this guy's material, booking the shows, making

1753
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,560
Speaker 1: sure he gets there. He's the one hiring the other comedians,

1754
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 1: he's behalf. I knew that that's the end goal. So

1755
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 1: if that's the end goal, and I'm there when I start,

1756
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: why would I deviate from that? Remember I I I

1757
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 1: My goal was to get this far in Hollywood and

1758
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:36,879
Speaker 1: still have a virgin asshole and never had sucked the penis.

1759
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: That was my only goal. I didn't want to get

1760
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: with a white woman because I was scared she might

1761
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: have me running down the street like Jonathan. Not because

1762
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: I didn't like white women. I think white women are

1763
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 1: as great as any other women. But I'm not gonna

1764
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 1: act like I'm not scared of them. I have a

1765
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 1: reason to be scared. You could be King the Conqueror

1766
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,640
Speaker 1: and they could take your rebit ass down in two weekends.

1767
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: And that's the truth of the matter. So I say

1768
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 1: it away from that. And remember I told you the

1769
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,639
Speaker 1: drug story from when I'm in the park. Yeah, so

1770
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: these are just the things. I had all of those

1771
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: when I came in. I already was ready for that.

1772
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: That's what they don't like.

1773
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 3: I did not know. You're telling me and showing me

1774
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 3: a side of the business that I didn't know that

1775
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 3: you guys a man. The competition, the competitiveness.

1776
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 1: That's all business. I don't care if they're selling coke.

1777
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:38,719
Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe the things that Coca Cola says about PEPSI.

1778
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe the water conversations between the sani and

1779
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: liquid death. Like in all business, in all sport, competition

1780
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 1: is a driving force. I don't require anybody to be better?

1781
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: Who am I? I just require if you're a loser

1782
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 1: and you've taken shortcuts at every chance, and you've made

1783
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 1: sure that you didn't put anybody on that really had

1784
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 1: a work ethic and was a god fearing person and

1785
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:14,679
Speaker 1: you helped it. If that was never you, then don't

1786
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 1: act like that's you don't get out here now that

1787
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: you don't do stand up and start acting like, oh,

1788
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,719
Speaker 1: you're not sure why you don't do stand up no more?

1789
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: I heard you got run off. You better be careful.

1790
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: The nigga that run you off gonna show up and

1791
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: he gonna tell everybody, I mean what You're gonna be

1792
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:33,080
Speaker 1: able to say nothing? Why you think I speak with

1793
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: such clarity? I'm actually involved in each one of these

1794
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 1: stories I told you about, right right.

1795
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 3: The one comedian we've been sitting here doing this interview

1796
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 3: that you're holding very high regardless, Dave Chapelle. Dave Chapelle

1797
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 3: walked away from fifty million. You said it was more

01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 3: tell the story.

01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:57,640
Speaker 1: That's right, You don't know want you to tell You

1800
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: really are the best. You're proving it here today. As

1801
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 1: much as I'm proving it. You proven it.

1802
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 4: You proven it.

1803
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't the thing. It wasn't. People say that

1804
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: he lost fifty million dollars. No, No, that's not even

1805
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: close to what happened to this dude. And until you

1806
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: understand what happened to the dude, you don't understand what happened.

1807
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 1: Like no, not. They offered him fifty million, and he

1808
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:23,679
Speaker 1: turned it down. Who's gonna turn down fifty million? Now

1809
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:26,759
Speaker 1: I've had to turn down fifty million dollars four times,

1810
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 1: four times just to protect my integrity and that virgin hole.

01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: I had all of it. All I did was say,

1844
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: I want to punch it up so it's not offensive

1845
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:12,799
Speaker 1: to real niggas.

1846
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 4: And that's how I got in this position.

1847
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 3: I sure hope I have a club after this year.

1848
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be in the dimension that's never been the

1849
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: greatest thing floating, no way, in a in a whole

1850
01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:41,480
Speaker 1: different realm of business, Oprah coming next. Once I established

Speaker 1: God's people. Ain't that few?

1853
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 3: Prince you met?

1854
01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 4: Prince Prison was a friend of mine. He was a

1855
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 4: friend of mine.

1856
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 3: What was those conversations because he I mean, sometimes we

1857
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 3: don't really understand or appreciate someone until they're gone. I did.

1858
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:09,719
Speaker 3: I was a big prince man all this stuff because

1859
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 3: he could play all the instruments, he could sing, he

1860
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 3: could he was an entertainer. Yeah that could see and

1861
01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 3: what he wrote. I mean, who thinks of cherry moves?

1862
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,560
Speaker 3: Who thinks it snows in April? Who had a raspberry

1863
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 3: bearet or pink cashmere? The thing the purple rain, the

1864
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 3: things that he wrote about, like bro who mine goes there?

1865
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was.

1866
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 4: He was like any unlike anybody in the world.

1867
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 1: He was. He was just an amazing individual. I was

1868
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 1: able to meet him when I was twelve, and I

1869
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 1: knew him my entire life through all of his changes.

1870
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 1: I was able to assist him many times. If you

1871
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 1: go look at Prince's car collection, you'll see that Prince

1872
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 1: don't have not one cart Williams ain't got. He got

1873
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 1: the Prowler from Friday after next and now he got

1874
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: the same Bentley as me, like because we share certain things.

1875
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: Our connection was lyrics, musical lyrics, women and cars, and

1876
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 1: that's those are the areas where he trusted.

1877
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 4: My opinion on things.

1878
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:26,240
Speaker 1: And that's where I got to be helpful in his life.

1879
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: And he was helpful in mind in really all different

1880
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: types of ways, especially about the business as far as

1881
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 1: being a black man that was rich in this business

1882
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 1: at eighteen years old, had already did his first million

1883
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: dollar contract, had already broken records, was determined that he

1884
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: didn't want to be like anybody else. Was so great

1885
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: of a guitar player that black people just stopped caring

1886
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 1: about guitar, and he got left out on a limb

1887
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 1: and somehow still had to create his way out of that.

1888
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:59,639
Speaker 1: He was just really a one in a billion type person.

1889
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:00,720
Speaker 1: I look at it on.

1890
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 3: Now they're specials and the streaming, I don't know. I

1891
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 3: don't think there's as many that there's no DVDs now,

1892
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 3: So where are you on this? The streaming, the specials?

1893
01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean obviously you still tour, but how much do

1894
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 3: you focus on Okay, I'm a tour, say one hundred

1895
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 3: days or one hundred and fifty days, but I'm gonna

1896
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 3: do a special.

1897
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 1: Well, now that our relationship with Netflix is at the

1898
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:32,679
Speaker 1: eight figure mark?

1899
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:37,840
Speaker 3: Eight? How eight?

1900
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 1: How often you want to make them?

1901
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 3: You said eight? I mean like like five, six.

1902
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 1: Seven, eight, gotta be ten million to qualify. Yeah, So

1903
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,559
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, once you're at that level, I mean,

1904
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: what'd you do? I'd be willing to bet you say

1905
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: anytime you turn around, I'm gonna be doing another one.

1906
01:49:57,680 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you would say if you

1907
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: was any good, like I said, like I said, with

1908
01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 1: twelve comedy specials, why do I need to be in

1909
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 1: these conversations with these specialist people saying it ain't got

1910
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: no special You remember Steve ain't got no specials. You

1911
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 1: remember Ricky ain't got no special You remember fash ain't

1912
01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: got no what? So why do you are Yep? It

1913
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 1: was twenty minutes long. It were good too, though it

1914
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 1: was He's good, not it was good. Hey, he's good.

1915
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 1: Don't think because I said something a derogatory that I don't.

1916
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how to hate. Earthquake has consistently. I

1917
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:41,839
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's ever said quake wasn't funny. He probably

1918
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 1: never been booed. I don't think. I don't think he's

1919
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: ever given a bad performance. But but but his just

1920
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: due was overdue. He was in a whole different situation. Yeah,

1921
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: because he wasn't able to translate the stand up to

1922
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 1: the movie the TV. He took a hit. Most people

1923
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,720
Speaker 1: don't take a hit. They're just judged on their stand up.

1924
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I I even though it sounds like

1925
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people, I don't, that's not the case.

1926
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:19,439
Speaker 1: I am. I'm a proponent of all of us who

1927
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: are in this business, working hard, trying to make it.

1928
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:23,880
Speaker 3: When you got in a stand up, was crossing over,

1929
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 3: was doing TV, was doing movie was that? Was that

1930
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 3: a part of it? You're like, okay, I'm gonna do

1931
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 3: I'm doing stand up Okay, next next, the next progression is.

1932
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 1: TV movies throughout throughout the history of stand up, sir.

1933
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,639
Speaker 1: That's that's the goal for all of us. That's how

1934
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,679
Speaker 1: it goes. That's why when you hear these dudes talking about,

1935
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 1: oh I didn't want to be a movie star, you

1936
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: just know it's disingenuous, like we talking about dude, Yeah, old, no, Now,

1937
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do a game show. What you sure?

1938
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,679
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Because I thought you did Mark Curry's

1939
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 1: show over after he had just done hanging with mister Cooper.

1940
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 1: Why would you do all of that man stuff that

1941
01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 1: he did on his show on yours and then do

1942
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 1: the dude stand up when you go on the road

1943
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 1: and then you never put Mark Curry on your show

1944
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:20,679
Speaker 1: or nothing. Like. If you don't say anything, these dudes

1945
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 1: will run over you.

1946
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:23,759
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know how bullies operate.

1947
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 3: I do.

1948
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 1: If you don't stand up for yourself, there really is

1949
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: nothing they won't do.

1950
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 3: Right. You're a very generous man, cat you you were

1951
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 3: the sole sponsor of Melbourne Moore getting star in the

1952
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 3: Hollywood Walk of Fame. You you did all that on

1953
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:42,560
Speaker 3: your own. Why what do you have a personal relationship

1954
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 3: with Melbourne? No?

1955
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 4: No I.

1956
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: I understood that she was a black woman in a

1957
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 1: time where it mattered what you look like, and they

1958
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: had a certain thing that they needed you to look

1959
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: like and act like in order to be successful, and

1960
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:04,040
Speaker 1: she just never did that.

1961
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 4: She wasn't tall enough, she wasn't fine.

1962
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 1: They didn't like her look, they didn't like that her

1963
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 1: hair was natural, They talked crazy about her, and yet

1964
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:21,080
Speaker 1: she still made all of these achievements. And I'm like, understand,

1965
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm already in the Comedy Hall of Fame. I'm already

1966
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 1: going to heaven no matter what happens, if it ends

1967
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 1: in a second, I'm up there. So it gives me

1968
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:37,040
Speaker 1: the leeway to do some things that are simply because

1969
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. So the truth of

1970
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,320
Speaker 1: the matter is they wanted to give me a start, but.

1971
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 4: Please don't consider me. And this person been sitting.

1972
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: On this list this whole time, and just because they

1973
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,760
Speaker 1: ain't got enough money they can't get they just do

1974
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy. When do you start? That's hurtful? What if

1975
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:01,719
Speaker 1: somebody can't afford that flowers, you mean they don't get them.

1976
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 4: No, God dom operate like that.

1977
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:05,600
Speaker 1: He was saying, a dummy like me to come and

1978
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,879
Speaker 1: take care of that, just so that the right thing happens.

1979
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 1: That's how the universe works. But because remember, I don't

1980
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: what I'm not spending my money on. I'm not spending

1981
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:18,480
Speaker 1: my money on strippers. I ain't spending them on drugs.

1982
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 1: Like because if I go in, if I go in

1983
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,040
Speaker 1: to strip club, I'm only trying to get her out

1984
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:28,640
Speaker 1: of there. Yeah, I have no intention of her or

1985
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:31,960

Speaker 1: Where's the camera? I didn't write nothing, I said tonight.

2006
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 1: It's all been on these Q cards and keep reading them.

2007
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 1: Ask your next question.

2008
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 3: The Migos, do you have them get out of financial situation?

2009
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we ever as a nation can remember

2010
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:19,560
Speaker 1: a time that the Migos were financially unsuccessful. So for

2011
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: the record, I would assume that they've never needed Kat

2012
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: Williams financial assistance for anything. I'm sure that between QC,

2013
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 1: the label, and other things, they were taken care of.

2014
01:56:32,080 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 1: On the other hand, if I was given the opportunity

2015
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:37,160
Speaker 1: to help them what I help, of course I would.

2016
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: That's what I do. I'm I'm a pro black, non racist,

2017
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,600
Speaker 1: Like I really really love black people, but I don't

2018
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:49,280
Speaker 1: love them more than other people. I love everybody. I

2019
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: just I'm a black guy, and I try to stick

2020
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:57,320
Speaker 1: with that. But yeah, I'm not one of those pillow

2021
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:01,080
Speaker 1: talkers either. Like when I do something good, I'm really

2022
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 1: not doing it for the ground. It's not it's not

2023
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 1: for it's not for any of that. I'm just doing

2024
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 1: it because it's good to do.

2025
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 3: I appreciate that I've read. I don't know if this

2026
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 3: is true, but I did read that comedians on your

2027
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,440
Speaker 3: show say that women sometimes would bring them money and

2028
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 3: not say where it came from. Say that again, comedians

2029
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:28,240
Speaker 3: would say women would bring them money and not say

2030
01:57:28,240 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 3: where it came from.

2031
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 1: Right, So I'm not a feminist like a feminist would be,

2032
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 1: but I do believe that there are no there that

2033
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 1: in my camp, Like if I had thirty five people

2034
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:47,879
Speaker 1: in my camp, right, I believe that other than four jobs,

2035
01:57:48,160 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 1: I believe that a woman is better at any of

2036
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 1: them jobs than any man could be. Okay, so ten

2037
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: of these jobs no man can work because I'd rather

2038
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 1: a female be there. If I got a sme tell

2039
01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: anybody's breath, I want it to be hers.

2040
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 4: I don't want none of you, krusty.

2041
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is in a staffing issue, I'm

2042
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:13,360
Speaker 1: gonna have seventy five percent women just because I prefer them.

2043
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't prefer to hear two guys talking in the corner.

2044
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 1: I prefer to hear two ladies talking in the corner.

2045
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 4: I don't care what they're talking about. I just prefer that.

2046
01:58:21,600 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 1: So a lot of times I will utilize ladies to

2047
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: convey a message. If a comedian is doing a great

2048
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: job somewhere in the country, he just did a masterful set,

2049
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna pay him. They just clapping it, and

2050
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 1: I know he's broke as shit back there. Wouldn't it

2051
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 1: be nice if somebody just showed up and gave him

2052
01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: a little blessing and he didn't have to suck me

2053
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: off for it, And thanks, kat boy, I really needed it.

2054
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? If you was actually just

2055
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,560
Speaker 1: trying to help people, you would people know. That's how

2056
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,560
Speaker 1: I pay my tithes. If I got paid one hundred

2057
01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to be at your city, I'm gonna take

2058
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:09,760
Speaker 1: ten thousand of that and put it in your homeless

2059
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: area now because I got to, because you gave me

2060
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 1: a hundred racks to come to your little RinkyDink town.

2061
01:59:16,440 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: Who would I be to not pay my times back

2062
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,879
Speaker 1: to your town? That's how I got in this position.

2063
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:34,200
Speaker 3: Wow, you adopted seven kids. Why that's a lot of

2064
01:59:34,240 --> 01:59:36,840
Speaker 3: kids for a man that's as busy as you are,

2065
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 3: travels as much as you do on the road, as

2066
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 3: much as you are, spend a lot of time. Because

2067
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 3: you have to spend a lot. I mean, it's not easy.

2068
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean maybe it comes just so comes so natural

2069
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:48,680
Speaker 3: to you to put pen the paper and to write

2070
01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 3: things down and be able to go out there and

2071
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:57,040
Speaker 3: perform a set. But that's a lot of responsibility. Cat, right, right?

2072
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: But if there was a God, well would he think

2073
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 1: about you if you did that? I'm saying, let's just

2074
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: let's say, for example, that God is real, okay, and

2075
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 1: let's say he'd be looking at what you do. Yes, Well,

2076
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:15,840
Speaker 1: what he say if you did that?

2077
02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 3: He said that? Cat, That's that's a very that's a

2078
02:00:18,200 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 3: very congesture. That's very genous of you.

2079
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:26,920
Speaker 1: My whole life, since I was telling you, when I

2080
02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 1: was young and they was asking me what I wanted

2081
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:30,080
Speaker 1: to be, and nothing I wanted to be was what

2082
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to be God's friend. That's a weird thing.

2083
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 1: If you atheists, if you a thisist, I didn't even

2084
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 1: say nothing. But if you believe in God, and I

2085
02:00:40,400 --> 02:00:42,360
Speaker 1: tell you that I wanted to be God's friend and

2086
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to even go to Hollywood and still be

2087
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 1: God's friend. If I told you that that was my aim,

2088
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 1: you can understand where I'm at. Like I promise you

2089
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 1: no jealousy, no bitterness or none of that. I got

2090
02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:59,440
Speaker 1: exactly what I was trying to get. I haven't been

2091
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: shortened in anyway.

2092
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 3: I mean, seven eight kids single, you get married.

2093
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:12,000
Speaker 1: You remember the conversation where I was where it was me, yes,

2094
02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what was gonna happen to my

2095
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:16,440
Speaker 1: two little brothers, and it was just gonna be out there.

2096
02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:16,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

2097
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: So when it gone full circle and I'm one of

2098
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:25,080
Speaker 1: the I'm one of the richest men that ever lived.

2099
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't. I don't mean please don't

2100
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: look at my net worth. I saw my networth. I

2101
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 1: had that on me. I wan of God. What I'm

2102
02:01:43,080 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 1: saying is like I'm saying, my network is less than

2103
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:54,000
Speaker 1: my last Netflix. There you understand what I'm telling you,

2104
02:01:56,360 --> 02:02:03,520
Speaker 1: But I'm fine. Jesus was poor Jesus had nothing, So

2105
02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:05,200
Speaker 1: why don't we be mad? You say I don't have nothing.

2106
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:06,800
Speaker 3: They have the minute they have back then.

2107
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Okay, say it again.

2108
02:02:08,080 --> 02:02:09,480
Speaker 3: We got different minutes now.

2109
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Not more than gold. Gold was the amenity of that time.

2110
02:02:14,200 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 1: We still got gold. The coals still run it.

2111
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:21,680
Speaker 3: They have they gotta you could buy, you could buy ass.

2112
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 3: That's what they call it. A biblicult. Time they were cheap.

2113
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you really wanted to say, I'm saying,

2114
02:02:33,640 --> 02:02:37,160
Speaker 1: a color now is cheap. So back in the day,

2115
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,200
Speaker 1: I would get my girl a donkey. Today would get

2116
02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:41,880
Speaker 1: her a color now. But I'm saying whoever, I'm saying,

2117
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:47,280
Speaker 1: whoever and whatever it is I'm saying, I'm saying because

2118
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:49,760
Speaker 1: what we gonna do I done already told you. I'm

2119
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 1: want of the richest people that ever lived, only in

2120
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:54,960
Speaker 1: the fact that when I wake up in the morning,

2121
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 1: no matter where I am, I don't need nothing. Whatever

2122
02:02:58,240 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 1: I need is right around me. Whatever I don't have,

2123
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 1: it's only just because I don't have it. It's not

2124
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:08,440
Speaker 1: because I can't get it. All I gotta do is

2125
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 1: want it and it belongs to me. So because of that,

2126
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:14,360
Speaker 1: because I'm favored by God, like when I see people's

2127
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 1: wives and stuff, I don't even look at them, you

2128
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I don't want to look

2129
02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:21,760
Speaker 1: at nothing I don't want to have because I know

2130
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 1: how blessed I am. If I look at it, I

2131
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 1: got it. That's how did he be feeling.

2132
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 3: So you're not supposed to look at anything that you

2133
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:36,040
Speaker 3: don't want.

2134
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Not me personally, just because God has given me literally

2135
02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:44,680
Speaker 1: everything I ever even pump faked like I want.

2136
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 4: And that's the whole thing.

2137
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: That's that's the whole thing is I don't I don't

2138
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:52,040
Speaker 1: have a type of woman. Every woman that I ever

2139
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:55,360
Speaker 1: had as a type, I ended up getting her. Now

2140
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:59,240
Speaker 1: she's not the type anymore. Now I understand that every

2141
02:03:59,360 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 1: woman is one of one, Like you can't really have types.

2142
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:09,720
Speaker 1: M h what because see how you trying to ask

2143
02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:14,640
Speaker 1: you about marriage? Yeah you did. When you rewind the table,

2144
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 1: you let it out. You was like, so you ever

2145
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna get married? And then you took it back. It's okay,

2146
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,920
Speaker 1: it's okay. I wasn't known as a phonographic memory, are you.

2147
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm not against it. Like most people that are not married,

2148
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 1: it's because they're afraid of commitment. It's not that like that.

2149
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,840
Speaker 1: For me, it's just the whole time I wanted to

2150
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: be married, I had kids, so I had to try

2151
02:04:36,480 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 1: to fill my wife's place before she got there. So

2152
02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:41,840
Speaker 1: I've already got kids without a mother. But so now

2153
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 1: I gotta be doing laundry. I'm I'm washing dishes, I'm

2154
02:04:45,560 --> 02:04:48,920
Speaker 1: reading stories, I'm having a nurture. I'm having to do

2155
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:50,640
Speaker 1: all of this. And I got to the point where

2156
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I didn't need the wife. I'm doing it and we're

2157
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:59,120
Speaker 1: doing it, and I'm not replacing a woman in their lives.

2158
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm letting them see that that's just the only thing

2159
02:05:02,320 --> 02:05:05,920
Speaker 1: that we don't have. And it was easier for me

2160
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 1: to do that because you have to understand that all

2161
02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:13,560
Speaker 1: of the kids I'm raising at this point, they have fathers,

2162
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:16,320
Speaker 1: you see, they have a mother.

2163
02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:17,879
Speaker 3: You see.

2164
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm a different person I'm raising you, and so that

2165
02:05:22,240 --> 02:05:25,320
Speaker 1: needs to be done with the other respect for the

2166
02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:29,920
Speaker 1: others that put work in as well. So, yeah, I

2167
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 1: never had a problem getting married.

2168
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 3: What's one of the one things you try to teach

2169
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:37,800
Speaker 3: your kids.

2170
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't teach anybody anything that's over eighteen. I've done

2171
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:45,480
Speaker 1: the work I was going to do. But as kids,

2172
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 1: I really just tried to teach the things that can

2173
02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 1: be bought, your integrity, trying to live your life in

2174
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:59,520
Speaker 1: a way that you yourself could be proud of if

2175
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:05,040
Speaker 1: you had to look back on it. And I didn't

2176
02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 1: do very good at leading by example, but behind the scenes,

2177
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: I was that's never what I was pushing. They understood

2178
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:20,920
Speaker 1: that because of my stance, there was a certain thing

2179
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 1: that would come my way. And so accountability and responsibility

2180
02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:28,400
Speaker 1: is part of what you're teaching, is that you know,

2181
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,280
Speaker 1: even if you're doing the greatest thing in the world,

2182
02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:36,440
Speaker 1: there's this thing called no good deed Gods unpunished, Like

2183
02:06:36,520 --> 02:06:41,520
Speaker 1: there's a real Murphy's law. Like basically, in raising kids,

2184
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,920
Speaker 1: you're just trying to give them a better manual and

2185
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:49,480
Speaker 1: an outline of how life works. Then your parents gave you,

2186
02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, and so that's how I did it.

2187
02:06:57,760 --> 02:07:01,680
Speaker 3: How do you avoid toxic women? Give me? Give me?

2188
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:04,880
Speaker 3: I mean, because obviously you know you like women.

2189
02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I do, and I probably like toxic ones more than anybody.

2190
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 1: That's because them. Because toxic women are exciting, and that's

2191
02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:19,560
Speaker 1: just a fact. Part of toxicity is exciting. I'd rather

2192
02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 1: sky dive with her. But if you have toxic women.

2193
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Just understand that all monsters are feeding off of something,

2194
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: and if you find out what this toxic woman is

2195
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:37,680
Speaker 1: feeding off of, you can just begin to turn off

2196
02:07:37,720 --> 02:07:42,360
Speaker 1: her feeding points. And it drives a toxic person crazy

2197
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 1: and they'll get away from you. So whatever, if she's

2198
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:49,360
Speaker 1: truly toxic, there are certain things that she's doing that

2199
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 1: help fuel her toxicity. You're not noticing it, but it's

2200
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:55,960
Speaker 1: what it is. Why do you think she watches murder

2201
02:07:56,040 --> 02:07:58,360
Speaker 1: mystery as for she goes to sleep? Why is it

2202
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:02,800
Speaker 1: always the crime drama play and turn it off? Turn

2203
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:12,160
Speaker 1: it to cartoons. No, you don't get to what's she

2204
02:08:12,280 --> 02:08:16,080
Speaker 1: listening to? You gotta be listening to sexy Red. You're broke.

2205
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Toxic people are trying to get things. They're not being

2206
02:08:27,360 --> 02:08:31,000
Speaker 1: toxic for no reason. They're gaining something out of how

2207
02:08:31,040 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 1: they operate. That's why they operate like that, because they

2208
02:08:34,200 --> 02:08:36,600
Speaker 1: get something. As soon as you find that out, you'll

2209
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 1: be able to cut off what they get and they

2210
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:39,160
Speaker 1: will leave.

2211
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were married once?

2212
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Never? You were married never in life?

2213
02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:51,200
Speaker 3: So would you have a cohabitation agreement? Never?

2214
02:08:52,200 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 1: How How could I be a single parent and be married?

2215
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:57,360
Speaker 3: You could? But you know there are people that like,

2216
02:08:57,520 --> 02:08:59,200
Speaker 3: were married and then they get divorced and then they

2217
02:08:59,240 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 3: become single parents. That's how they wanted.

2218
02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a person who's never been married means he's

2219
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:07,200
Speaker 1: never been married.

2220
02:09:07,240 --> 02:09:10,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna take you word for it.

2221
02:09:11,080 --> 02:09:12,560
Speaker 1: Why would you need to take my word for it?

2222
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:12,960
Speaker 1: Hold on?

2223
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:13,320
Speaker 3: Hold on?

2224
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 1: If I had been married, woun't that somebody had said

2225
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:16,240
Speaker 1: who she was?

2226
02:09:16,640 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 3: No, it might have been a long time ago.

2227
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 1: No, I've never not been famous, sir. I've just I

2228
02:09:22,640 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 1: just I just worked a story out to you. I

2229
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,120
Speaker 1: don't have no end mysteries in my life. That was Jesus.

2230
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't have no parents in my life where it's

2231
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:34,640
Speaker 1: unaccounted for. No. No, No, that person that said that

2232
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:37,800
Speaker 1: was a liar. I got a case right now in La.

2233
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:40,880
Speaker 1: This lady says she was my assistant for fourteen years,

2234
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 1: and I heard her something like that, I never worked

2235
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: for me, not day in my life. Liars lie because

2236
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:51,520
Speaker 1: they want to, But people always say, why would they lie? No,

2237
02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:55,280
Speaker 1: there are several women have said they was married to me.

2238
02:09:55,560 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: It's just when it went to court they had to

2239
02:09:57,320 --> 02:10:01,280
Speaker 1: say I was married to him spiritually. You shut up?

2240
02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:04,920
Speaker 1: How you gonna be married to me? And my kids

2241
02:10:04,960 --> 02:10:09,280
Speaker 1: don't know. You answer me that, So do.

2242
02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:11,760
Speaker 3: You have a problem. Do you have a problem bringing

2243
02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:13,280
Speaker 3: women around your kids?

2244
02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 1: No, not then or now. I've always lived with several women,

2245
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:23,800
Speaker 1: like I'm.

2246
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:26,200
Speaker 3: Known several, like more than one.

2247
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I've already told you that I prefer the company of

2248
02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:32,760
Speaker 1: women company of men. So if I told you that

2249
02:10:32,840 --> 02:10:35,840
Speaker 1: me and a couple of dudes on my staff sometimes

2250
02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:40,000
Speaker 1: have to cohabitate, nobody finds a problem with that. Yeah,

2251
02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:43,800
Speaker 1: so it's me and three ladies cohabitating, because that's how

2252
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the business gets done. Like I don't want a chef

2253
02:10:48,280 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: that scratches his nuts for it, cause I don't like,

2254
02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,360
Speaker 1: no disrespect to these guys that go around with these

2255
02:10:56,480 --> 02:11:06,960
Speaker 1: large male only groupings. But that's not my episode of entourage.

2256
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:10,040
Speaker 3: You approached, You were approached by seven gunment. You robbed,

2257
02:11:10,360 --> 02:11:15,720
Speaker 3: shot in the thigh, said again, you robbed once? Correct? No,

2258
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:18,040
Speaker 3: you didn't get robbed. You didn't. You didn't get approached

2259
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:20,480
Speaker 3: by gunment, tried to get robbed. They didn't take anything.

2260
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:26,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't even the I wasn't even the target. I

2261
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:29,600
Speaker 1: wasn't even who they were talking to. And not because

2262
02:11:29,640 --> 02:11:32,440
Speaker 1: I say that, because if you look at what time

2263
02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:36,440
Speaker 1: period it is. I'm not even making five thousand a year,

2264
02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:42,720
Speaker 1: so robbing me wasn't mansw This is before Oklahoma. If

2265
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you talking about a terrible condition, they'd have been disappointed

2266
02:11:50,040 --> 02:11:50,880
Speaker 1: thinking they get some more.

2267
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 3: Eha.

2268
02:11:53,680 --> 02:11:58,640
Speaker 1: Look in three cities there is legendary that Kat Williams

2269
02:11:58,680 --> 02:12:03,160
Speaker 1: would walk down streets where his baby and a baby

2270
02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:05,440
Speaker 1: stroller with a diaper bag, with a gun in a

2271
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,480
Speaker 1: diaper bag. The only thing I need is a pass.

2272
02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:10,880

2276
02:12:24,040 --> 02:12:27,480
Speaker 1: to be something I'm not. You think I'm a blood,

2277
02:12:27,600 --> 02:12:31,560
Speaker 1: you think I'm a crip. I'm from Ohio, I'm a comedian,

02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be involved. Right, That's the difference.

2281
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:45,520

02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:56,920
Speaker 3: Theaed in Inglewood. I'm about to catch that.

2286
02:12:58,000 --> 02:12:59,680
Speaker 6: I thought you might say that I will catch that

2287
02:12:59,720 --> 02:13:02,480
Speaker 6: one right, because it's a homecoming for me because I

2288
02:13:02,520 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 6: lived on I lived on Hazel, so you know, people

2289
02:13:07,440 --> 02:13:08,360
Speaker 6: don't know I lived in.

2290
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:10,200
Speaker 4: The heart of Inglewood.

2291
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:13,800
Speaker 1: They saw me walk down Market Street with the babies.

2292
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm raising like they understood that. No, no, no, I was

2293
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:20,080
Speaker 1: really not pretending, Oh you want to be from the hood. No,

2294
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm living there on the street.

2295
02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:30,480
Speaker 3: What's your favorite city of the toury.

2296
02:13:27,720 --> 02:13:32,200
Speaker 1: The next one, sir? Yeah, that's the that's the real

2297
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:37,800
Speaker 1: beauty of travel, right. That's why most people don't have

2298
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:40,520
Speaker 1: the empathy and the sympathy that they need to have

2299
02:13:40,680 --> 02:13:43,600
Speaker 1: for other people. It's because they haven't seen other people.

2300
02:13:44,280 --> 02:13:46,920
Speaker 1: Like if you went to Ireland and you saw with

2301
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:49,600
Speaker 1: them people it was like and you went to Sweden

2302
02:13:49,640 --> 02:13:52,120
Speaker 1: and saw them people, it was like if you really

2303
02:13:52,160 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 1: went to Africa and you really saw what the people

2304
02:13:54,800 --> 02:13:57,120
Speaker 1: was like, you went to Hay, you went to Puerto Rico,

2305
02:13:57,160 --> 02:14:00,560
Speaker 1: if you really traveled across the country, you would see

2306
02:14:00,600 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 1: that all people is the same way. More people that's

2307
02:14:05,920 --> 02:14:10,760
Speaker 1: good than the fucked up individuals you see. And if

2308
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:14,960
Speaker 1: you understood that it would change everything. So I don't.

2309
02:14:15,200 --> 02:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't have any favorites in the world, just because

2310
02:14:20,200 --> 02:14:24,640
Speaker 1: every place is dealing with their own issues, their own troubles.

2311
02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:27,960
Speaker 1: All places look better than they actually are for the

2312
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:31,240
Speaker 1: people that live there. And it's always the difference between

2313
02:14:31,280 --> 02:14:34,400
Speaker 1: what it seems like and what it is like. People

2314
02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:37,680
Speaker 1: will tell you I went to Paris, I was there

2315
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:41,920
Speaker 1: the Eifful Tower, that you had been books and there,

2316
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:44,680
Speaker 1: her rints everywhere, and the food was terrible. Tell the

2317
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:45,400
Speaker 1: rest of it.

2318
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:48,680
Speaker 3: Don't tell some lemonship question when you go When you

2319
02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:50,320
Speaker 3: go to these cities to tour, do you make it

2320
02:14:50,360 --> 02:14:51,200
Speaker 3: a habit of getting out?

2321
02:14:52,320 --> 02:14:54,520
Speaker 1: That's how I built my reputation. It's also how I

2322
02:14:54,600 --> 02:14:57,920
Speaker 1: ended up in jail nineteen times, because when I come

2323
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:00,440
Speaker 1: to do a show, I'm really in your city. So

2324
02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:03,400
Speaker 1: whatever the strip clubs, I'm there, whatever the top bar is,

2325
02:15:03,480 --> 02:15:06,600
Speaker 1: I was there drinking, whatever the I was. You got

2326
02:15:06,600 --> 02:15:10,520
Speaker 1: a casino, how was at it? Like? What was it? Huh?

2327
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Because I'm at your city. This is how I'm learning

2328
02:15:15,080 --> 02:15:17,240
Speaker 1: your city, so that when I do my show, I

2329
02:15:17,280 --> 02:15:20,800
Speaker 1: can be talking about what I know, not what I think. Right,

2330
02:15:21,280 --> 02:15:23,760
Speaker 1: And so that was what I did at every city

2331
02:15:23,800 --> 02:15:26,080
Speaker 1: that I went to, the first fifteen minutes of my

2332
02:15:26,160 --> 02:15:29,800
Speaker 1: show is what it's like to be here. You see

2333
02:15:29,800 --> 02:15:33,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And so that was always a part

2334
02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:36,560
Speaker 1: of what kept my legend going to the point where

2335
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:40,680
Speaker 1: I can still be in these arenas without you ever

2336
02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:43,440
Speaker 1: seeing a poster with my picture on it, without you

2337
02:15:43,560 --> 02:15:47,560
Speaker 1: ever seeing a flyer, without you ever seeing a poster goes, Hey,

2338
02:15:47,600 --> 02:15:49,520
Speaker 1: it's Kat. Could y'all make sure y'all come out and

2339
02:15:49,520 --> 02:15:52,400
Speaker 1: come see me, because I'm gonna be in Would you

2340
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:58,040
Speaker 1: please come on now? I guess I really because we

2341
02:15:58,080 --> 02:16:02,880
Speaker 1: have a different respect. I know I'm coming, they know

2342
02:16:03,040 --> 02:16:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I know they gonna be there, and they

2343
02:16:06,680 --> 02:16:09,400
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna do the best job I can possibly do,

2344
02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:12,920
Speaker 1: And they know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, whatever

2345
02:16:13,120 --> 02:16:16,640
Speaker 1: hour he was doing when we last saw him, he

2346
02:16:16,680 --> 02:16:19,960
Speaker 1: won't be doing that hour when we see him this time.

2347
02:16:20,240 --> 02:16:24,520
Speaker 1: It's a whole new conversation. And because I've never strayed

2348
02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:27,960
Speaker 1: from that, they've never strayed from their part.

2349
02:16:28,320 --> 02:16:31,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking at some of the actors that you've been

2350
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:35,039
Speaker 3: on screen with, Q Tracy Morgan, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard

2351
02:16:35,560 --> 02:16:38,360
Speaker 3: days look Nick Cannon, I mean Tiffany, I mean bro

2352
02:16:39,160 --> 02:16:41,760
Speaker 3: who brings out the best in Cat william How does

2353
02:16:41,800 --> 02:16:44,560
Speaker 3: someone get the best out of Cat William Do you

2354
02:16:44,720 --> 02:16:48,039
Speaker 3: need a comedian? Do you need a serious actor? How

2355
02:16:48,080 --> 02:16:50,840
Speaker 3: do we get the absolute best out of Cat Williams

2356
02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:51,320
Speaker 3: on screen?

2357
02:16:54,520 --> 02:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Well? I would be disingenuous if I didn't remind us

2358
02:16:57,760 --> 02:17:03,560
Speaker 1: that that's never anybody's going Oh, it's never anybody's goal

2359
02:17:03,640 --> 02:17:05,800
Speaker 1: to create a great situation for me to do a

2360
02:17:05,840 --> 02:17:08,560
Speaker 1: good job. Why in a script, The way it works

2361
02:17:08,640 --> 02:17:11,160
Speaker 1: is the script is already there. This is a character

2362
02:17:11,240 --> 02:17:14,640
Speaker 1: in the script. If they give me the job, I

2363
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:20,240
Speaker 1: make it my job that this character here, this character here,

2364
02:17:21,760 --> 02:17:24,160
Speaker 1: has to be as big as this whole project. So

2365
02:17:24,240 --> 02:17:28,080
Speaker 1: if you don't even see the movie School Dance, I

2366
02:17:28,120 --> 02:17:31,120
Speaker 1: want you to remember Who's God damn white baby is this?

2367
02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:35,360
Speaker 1: And the only way that I can guarantee that you

2368
02:17:35,400 --> 02:17:38,199
Speaker 1: will remember my scene if you didn't remember a whole movie,

2369
02:17:38,320 --> 02:17:42,480
Speaker 1: is if I make sure that my scenes are that good,

2370
02:17:42,959 --> 02:17:47,440
Speaker 1: because that's what I watched. I watched great actors. You

2371
02:17:47,480 --> 02:17:51,120
Speaker 1: never saw the Narrow, you never saw Peshi, You never

2372
02:17:51,200 --> 02:17:53,920
Speaker 1: saw any of these dudes, and something you was like, nah,

2373
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't really believe it. You sure you're in the

2374
02:17:56,280 --> 02:18:01,440
Speaker 1: Great Gatsman, Like, no, like you believe that this dude

2375
02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Daniel is a hobbit. That's part of the Lord of

2376
02:18:05,879 --> 02:18:08,720
Speaker 1: the Rings, right, You see what I'm saying. And so

2377
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:12,680
Speaker 1: I it's having a respect for the craft that I'm doing.

2378
02:18:13,040 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 1: That means got trying to do the best job possible.

2379
02:18:16,959 --> 02:18:21,080
Speaker 3: What was it like working with Spike Lee doing Priceless?

2380
02:18:23,080 --> 02:18:25,760
Speaker 1: Spike Lee is everything that you said I was in

2381
02:18:25,840 --> 02:18:30,080
Speaker 1: my intro. He's just really an innovator and a groundbreaking,

2382
02:18:30,160 --> 02:18:36,760
Speaker 1: one of a kind dynamo. And I knew that they were,

2383
02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:41,879
Speaker 1: like they tried to sabotage me even then, Like as

2384
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:43,800
Speaker 1: soon as I said I wanted to get Spike Lee

2385
02:18:43,840 --> 02:18:45,760
Speaker 1: to direct it because that was the biggest thing I

2386
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:51,240
Speaker 1: could do, they immediately gave Spike to Jerrug Carmichael and

2387
02:18:51,360 --> 02:18:53,800
Speaker 1: had him do his special too at the Comedy Store,

2388
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:59,840
Speaker 1: and just to undermine Like, but I if there's one

2389
02:18:59,879 --> 02:19:02,240
Speaker 1: thing and you can take away from me as a person,

2390
02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:04,560
Speaker 1: whether you like me or you don't, if you take

2391
02:19:04,600 --> 02:19:07,360
Speaker 1: this from me, you will be a better person. If

2392
02:19:07,400 --> 02:19:10,320
Speaker 1: you decide today that you're gonna live every day like

2393
02:19:10,400 --> 02:19:14,320
Speaker 1: it's your last for real, which means have a conversation

2394
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:18,400
Speaker 1: with yourself every night that okay, that was it may

2395
02:19:18,440 --> 02:19:21,960
Speaker 1: not be no more after that, and really count yourself

2396
02:19:22,320 --> 02:19:25,240
Speaker 1: every day like this could have been it all right

2397
02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:28,240
Speaker 1: before I go to bed, this could be it? All right?

2398
02:19:28,440 --> 02:19:31,879
Speaker 1: How's that looking? If you can do that, it'll change

2399
02:19:31,879 --> 02:19:36,000
Speaker 1: your life. You really start making decisions and living your

2400
02:19:36,040 --> 02:19:38,560
Speaker 1: life like this all you got just this one day.

2401
02:19:39,320 --> 02:19:41,440
Speaker 1: But you could be a winner. You could be a

2402
02:19:41,440 --> 02:19:45,279
Speaker 1: winner on this day. It just it's just work ethic

2403
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:47,480
Speaker 1: and not the work ethic they talk about. They tell

2404
02:19:47,520 --> 02:19:50,320
Speaker 1: you work ethic where they do all these movies. I'm

2405
02:19:50,320 --> 02:19:54,520
Speaker 1: the hardest working man. No, everybody goes to work every day. Yeah,

2406
02:19:54,840 --> 02:19:56,960
Speaker 1: saying I'll go to work all the time. Everybody who

2407
02:19:57,040 --> 02:20:00,640
Speaker 1: works goes to work every day. Shut up, Shut up?

2408
02:20:00,720 --> 02:20:03,920
Speaker 1: You get what you think. I respect you more than

2409
02:20:03,920 --> 02:20:05,320
Speaker 1: my gardener. I don't.

2410
02:20:06,520 --> 02:20:08,240
Speaker 4: I don't he work every day.

2411
02:20:09,400 --> 02:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Raina Shine.

2412
02:20:10,760 --> 02:20:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this, but Taraji p

2413
02:20:12,800 --> 02:20:15,560
Speaker 3: Henson got extremely emotional the other day. She was given

2414
02:20:15,600 --> 02:20:21,800
Speaker 3: an interview, yes and saying that they're vastly underpaid. They

2415
02:20:21,800 --> 02:20:24,480
Speaker 3: say the math is not mathing. They get X amount

2416
02:20:24,480 --> 02:20:26,640
Speaker 3: of dollars by the time Uncle Sam get his cut,

2417
02:20:26,680 --> 02:20:28,920
Speaker 3: by the time the agency get their cut, and what

2418
02:20:29,080 --> 02:20:31,480
Speaker 3: you see they were supposed to get it's a fraction

2419
02:20:31,600 --> 02:20:33,840
Speaker 3: of that. Where do you come down on that cat?

2420
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:40,520
Speaker 1: It was the saddest thing ever, because imagine imagine being

2421
02:20:40,560 --> 02:20:43,800
Speaker 1: in your genre and your subniche, whatever it is. Imagine

2422
02:20:43,840 --> 02:20:47,200
Speaker 1: being in your lane. Imagine being one of the very

2423
02:20:47,400 --> 02:20:50,640
Speaker 1: top of your lane. That to the point where if

2424
02:20:50,640 --> 02:20:53,440
Speaker 1: they don't take you for the role, there's not three

2425
02:20:53,480 --> 02:20:56,240
Speaker 1: black actresses that they can say are bigger than you,

2426
02:20:56,360 --> 02:20:58,640
Speaker 1: that we're gonna give this to. Imagine you being at

2427
02:20:58,640 --> 02:21:03,640
Speaker 1: that point. I have to humble yourself and say they're

2428
02:21:03,680 --> 02:21:06,760
Speaker 1: not paying me, y'all, and they not making my pay

2429
02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:10,440
Speaker 1: go up because I'm doing better or nothing. It don't

2430
02:21:10,440 --> 02:21:12,840
Speaker 1: matter to them that I'm famous and people know me

2431
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:15,240
Speaker 1: or nothing. They want to pay me exactly what they

2432
02:21:15,320 --> 02:21:18,840
Speaker 1: paying the new girl. And I've been suffering under it

2433
02:21:18,920 --> 02:21:22,800
Speaker 1: for a decade now and just taking it. I've just

2434
02:21:22,840 --> 02:21:26,119
Speaker 1: been getting whooped. But I just gotta come say this

2435
02:21:26,200 --> 02:21:33,480
Speaker 1: is wrong. Ah, we should be ashamed. But this is

2436
02:21:33,520 --> 02:21:36,320
Speaker 1: a country where we don't pay the teachers, and then

2437
02:21:36,400 --> 02:21:39,280
Speaker 1: we say the kids is the most important thing. You

2438
02:21:39,320 --> 02:21:41,560
Speaker 1: can't have both of them. If you do that, we're

2439
02:21:41,600 --> 02:21:44,199
Speaker 1: gonna end up with a generation that can't read. Guess

2440
02:21:44,240 --> 02:21:48,160
Speaker 1: what Generation Z and A can't read? Why? Because who

2441
02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:50,480
Speaker 1: was giving them a book? We got lied bad or

2442
02:21:50,640 --> 02:21:54,640
Speaker 1: phone and now the letters don't mean there's no cursive writing.

2443
02:21:55,040 --> 02:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. So yeah, this is what period of

2444
02:21:58,320 --> 02:22:01,360
Speaker 1: time it's in. It's the period where the victims get

2445
02:22:01,360 --> 02:22:05,680
Speaker 1: to say they've been hurting me for a long time

2446
02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:08,400
Speaker 1: and I just ain't said nothing because I was trying

2447
02:22:08,400 --> 02:22:10,920
Speaker 1: to be strong and I didn't want to shame anybody.

2448
02:22:12,720 --> 02:22:15,480
Speaker 1: When our people call out for help, we gotta understand,

2449
02:22:15,879 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that, like we put

2450
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,480
Speaker 1: too much pressure on Tyler Perry, you know what I mean?

2451
02:22:21,680 --> 02:22:24,680
Speaker 1: He ain't putting nobody on the people that been in

2452
02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:27,080
Speaker 1: his productions. They not famous, all of them could walk

2453
02:22:27,120 --> 02:22:31,160
Speaker 1: through them all without security. Be what you're gonna be.

2454
02:22:31,200 --> 02:22:33,959
Speaker 1: But put your people on. If you a gay person

2455
02:22:33,959 --> 02:22:36,200
Speaker 1: and you in there, put some other gay people on.

2456
02:22:38,800 --> 02:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Put somebody on or don't be wondering why people keep

2457
02:22:43,520 --> 02:22:51,360
Speaker 1: saying gatekeepers, because clearly y'all keeping these gates clearly wild'n out.

2458
02:22:51,480 --> 02:22:53,520
Speaker 3: How difficult was it for Nick Kennen to get you

2459
02:22:53,600 --> 02:22:57,800
Speaker 3: on and what what was that? Really? What was that experience?

2460
02:22:57,920 --> 02:23:02,040
Speaker 1: Like I'd known Cannon since he was a teenager. He

2461
02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:05,840
Speaker 1: had to have his in the comedy club. If you're

2462
02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:08,240
Speaker 1: under age, you can't be in the regular club. You

2463
02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:10,720
Speaker 1: had to be in the kitchen. So I was the

2464
02:23:10,760 --> 02:23:13,680
Speaker 1: master of the kitchen every comedy place because I got

2465
02:23:13,720 --> 02:23:16,640
Speaker 1: a child, and my child is back here in this

2466
02:23:16,760 --> 02:23:19,840
Speaker 1: place while I go on stage. So I've known Nick

2467
02:23:19,879 --> 02:23:23,280
Speaker 1: Cannon since he was fourteen. Nick Cannon has never called

2468
02:23:23,320 --> 02:23:27,280
Speaker 1: and asked me to do one single thing, and I

2469
02:23:27,360 --> 02:23:30,000
Speaker 1: turned him down because I've known him since he was

2470
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:31,880
Speaker 1: a young black child in Hollywood.

2471
02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:32,400
Speaker 3: Wow.

2472
02:23:32,879 --> 02:23:38,040
Speaker 1: So what I did in while'n Out was to be

2473
02:23:38,160 --> 02:23:43,400
Speaker 1: his protector and to be his voice with hip hop.

2474
02:23:43,600 --> 02:23:45,640
Speaker 1: So the whole thing was the thing that he was

2475
02:23:45,640 --> 02:23:48,039
Speaker 1: trying to do had never been done before. You can't

2476
02:23:48,080 --> 02:23:51,800
Speaker 1: bring six comics in un lets six comics talk shit

2477
02:23:51,920 --> 02:23:54,879
Speaker 1: about six rappers because the six rappers will.

2478
02:23:54,760 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 4: Beat the six comics ass.

2479
02:23:56,959 --> 02:23:59,400
Speaker 1: You would have to have a comic that could actually

2480
02:23:59,480 --> 02:24:06,680
Speaker 1: stand him between and go, look, we comics, we gonna say, well,

2481
02:24:06,680 --> 02:24:10,000
Speaker 1: we gonna say, y'all gonna take it, and understand it's

2482
02:24:10,040 --> 02:24:12,800
Speaker 1: a joke. If you want to fight, we fight before

2483
02:24:12,840 --> 02:24:15,760
Speaker 1: the show, so you can go out there with your

2484
02:24:15,760 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 1: black eye. We're not gonna do it comedically. This is

2485
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:24,039
Speaker 1: what needed to take place in order to be for

2486
02:24:24,120 --> 02:24:26,680
Speaker 1: it to be successful, which is why it had already

2487
02:24:26,720 --> 02:24:29,640
Speaker 1: aired and didn't work, and then suddenly when it comes

2488
02:24:29,720 --> 02:24:33,760
Speaker 1: back with me, it suddenly works because respect has to

2489
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:36,879
Speaker 1: be in there as well. If you're trying to do

2490
02:24:36,920 --> 02:24:39,879
Speaker 1: it with Kevin Hart, you and him gonna get run over.

2491
02:24:41,040 --> 02:24:47,680
Speaker 1: You you're a teenager. He five too, Like, what's gonna happen?

2492
02:24:48,120 --> 02:24:50,240
Speaker 3: Who are some of your favorite young comedians?

2493
02:24:52,760 --> 02:24:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't I haven't seen a young comedian. I don't

2494
02:24:55,879 --> 02:24:59,680
Speaker 1: like if you name any of the young comedians. I'm

2495
02:24:59,720 --> 02:25:02,320
Speaker 1: aware of all of them, and they're all doing a

2496
02:25:02,360 --> 02:25:06,120
Speaker 1: great job. It doesn't matter if it's Country Wayne or

2497
02:25:06,240 --> 02:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Desi Banks. It doesn't matter if it's Carlos or Chico.

2498
02:25:10,240 --> 02:25:15,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's DC or just hilarious. It

2499
02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:18,920
Speaker 1: really doesn't. It really doesn't matter. Once we go to

2500
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:24,359
Speaker 1: the young part. The young comedians are dealing with things

2501
02:25:24,400 --> 02:25:28,280
Speaker 1: that we never dealt with, and so that gives them

2502
02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:32,879
Speaker 1: more benefits. But it also gives them more chances of failure,

2503
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:37,400
Speaker 1: so it's not easier for them. So yeah, I'm a

2504
02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:43,000
Speaker 1: big supporter of young comics. We have missed Pretty Ricky

2505
02:25:43,080 --> 02:25:49,400
Speaker 1: and Takarl Williams. I've taken twenty five black women on

2506
02:25:49,440 --> 02:25:50,119
Speaker 1: the road.

2507
02:25:50,160 --> 02:25:51,199
Speaker 4: In these tours.

2508
02:25:51,800 --> 02:25:56,000
Speaker 1: It's important to me that the young comic gets the

2509
02:25:56,160 --> 02:26:01,240
Speaker 1: benefits and the advantages of the big comics platform.

2510
02:26:01,640 --> 02:26:06,279
Speaker 3: Matt Rife, wild'n Out recently got canceled. You see Jonathan Major,

2511
02:26:06,560 --> 02:26:08,760
Speaker 3: what he went through. Marble dropped him as soon as

2512
02:26:08,760 --> 02:26:12,560
Speaker 3: they're guilty, the conviction came out, and you were telling

2513
02:26:12,600 --> 02:26:13,160
Speaker 3: the day you.

2514
02:26:13,120 --> 02:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Saw that black woman come get his charge cutting half,

2515
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:21,120
Speaker 1: thank you making good God, bless you coming to save

2516
02:26:21,360 --> 02:26:24,560
Speaker 1: that sleeve. If he'd had to be there by himself,

2517
02:26:24,560 --> 02:26:28,520
Speaker 1: he was getting awful, guilty, guilty gift she came in

2518
02:26:28,560 --> 02:26:30,760
Speaker 1: that was just so beautiful that to knock half of

2519
02:26:30,800 --> 02:26:33,120
Speaker 1: it off, bless It's hard.

2520
02:26:34,360 --> 02:26:37,280
Speaker 3: So Matt Rife, you know you know him from wildern Out,

2521
02:26:37,280 --> 02:26:39,560
Speaker 3: he gets canceled for a time, trying to tell.

2522
02:26:39,440 --> 02:26:41,680
Speaker 1: It, I never knew him from wilding Out, to be honest,

2523
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:46,240
Speaker 1: I came across him as a new comic. Okay, and yeah,

2524
02:26:46,400 --> 02:26:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm really just trying to see the comics judge where

2525
02:26:48,680 --> 02:26:49,480
Speaker 1: they are seed.

2526
02:26:49,800 --> 02:26:51,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, go ahead.

2527
02:26:51,840 --> 02:26:55,680
Speaker 3: So the canceling, Uh, what do you think about this

2528
02:26:55,760 --> 02:26:58,880
Speaker 3: cancel culture? You see the situation with Jonathan Major, I mean,

2529
02:26:58,920 --> 02:27:01,440
Speaker 3: for all sense and purposes, I don't know if maybe

2530
02:27:01,440 --> 02:27:04,440
Speaker 3: he can bounce back in a couple of years, but man,

2531
02:27:05,120 --> 02:27:07,560
Speaker 3: was he was hot. He was hot as he was cooking.

2532
02:27:07,840 --> 02:27:09,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you see him in Creed, He's in the

2533
02:27:09,480 --> 02:27:11,920
Speaker 3: Marble movies, and then just like that.

2534
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm a conspiracy theory, but I thought Kat Williams

2535
02:27:14,720 --> 02:27:19,760
Speaker 1: said anything time they make you into that position, part

2536
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:23,520
Speaker 1: of that contract is you do understand whenever we want

2537
02:27:23,560 --> 02:27:27,120
Speaker 1: to take you down, we can right. Part of giving

2538
02:27:27,160 --> 02:27:29,480
Speaker 1: you the world. First of all, they went around the

2539
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:32,199
Speaker 1: world for two years straight telling any women that would

2540
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:36,160
Speaker 1: listen that this was a good looking Negro says. When

Speaker 1: when did y'all start liking a big news And when

02:27:41,959 --> 02:27:44,480
Speaker 1: Win says, when they look like my daddy. When you

2544
02:27:44,480 --> 02:27:47,480
Speaker 1: start liking my daddy, you like black people's features like that.

2545
02:27:47,959 --> 02:27:51,640
Speaker 1: If this ugly nigga is good looking, then all niggas

2546
02:27:51,800 --> 02:27:55,560
Speaker 1: is good looking. Anytime you see them telling you something

2547
02:27:55,560 --> 02:27:58,560
Speaker 1: you can't believe, just understand it's a play and it

Speaker 1: somebody something, you know you not, No, you're not. Marvel

2551
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:11,280
Speaker 1: will cancel you. So you won't be allowed to read

2552
02:28:11,320 --> 02:28:16,520
Speaker 1: a comic book. What you talking about? Get out of here,

2553
02:28:17,120 --> 02:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Get out of here, ugly boy. Yeah, they love fooling

2554
02:28:21,720 --> 02:28:22,160
Speaker 1: the people.

2555
02:28:23,160 --> 02:28:25,360
Speaker 3: What's your relationship like with You'll? Now you're still close

2556
02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:28,840
Speaker 3: with sure? Have you spoken to him and you talked

2557
02:28:28,840 --> 02:28:29,480
Speaker 3: to him recently?

2558
02:28:29,920 --> 02:28:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2559
02:28:30,120 --> 02:28:35,160
Speaker 4: He's doing good. Yeah he's uh.

2560
02:28:35,120 --> 02:28:36,800
Speaker 3: Man, Well you a friend? You friend for life with

2561
02:28:37,160 --> 02:28:37,800
Speaker 3: Cat William.

2562
02:28:38,720 --> 02:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because the people that come to me are trying

2563
02:28:41,760 --> 02:28:45,480
Speaker 1: to better their life. They're not trying to continue doing

2564
02:28:45,560 --> 02:28:48,920
Speaker 1: what they have been doing. Okay, So when somebody comes

2565
02:28:48,959 --> 02:28:53,839
Speaker 1: to me, male or female, it is in the auspices

2566
02:28:53,879 --> 02:28:56,280
Speaker 1: that this is what I did, this is what I

2567
02:28:56,400 --> 02:28:58,160
Speaker 1: used to do, This ain't what I want to do

2568
02:28:58,240 --> 02:29:00,280
Speaker 1: no more, And I want to do something else. I'd

2569
02:29:00,360 --> 02:29:02,840
Speaker 1: like it to go a different way. Okay, that's what

2570
02:29:02,920 --> 02:29:06,000
Speaker 1: I offer. Yeah, So if you come to me under

2571
02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:10,120
Speaker 1: those auspices. Then my loyalty is life long. Why would

2572
02:29:10,120 --> 02:29:10,600
Speaker 1: it not be.

2573
02:29:12,879 --> 02:29:15,120
Speaker 3: Tory Lane? And Meg? What would your take on that?

2574
02:29:15,200 --> 02:29:16,840
Speaker 3: Because I know you you got to take on everything.

2575
02:29:16,879 --> 02:29:22,040
Speaker 1: I guess it's a difficult position because somebody's not going

2576
02:29:22,120 --> 02:29:24,480
Speaker 1: to tell the truth, and the truth has got to

2577
02:29:24,480 --> 02:29:28,039
Speaker 1: be told in all circumstances. The truth has got to

2578
02:29:28,080 --> 02:29:30,280
Speaker 1: be told. So if you don't want to say she

2579
02:29:30,440 --> 02:29:32,800
Speaker 1: shot her, then you shot her and that's the end

2580
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:33,119
Speaker 1: of that.

2581
02:29:37,320 --> 02:29:39,600
Speaker 3: You said you never have you ever spent time in jail?

2582
02:29:42,440 --> 02:29:43,560
Speaker 1: Thirty times.

2583
02:29:46,520 --> 02:29:48,640
Speaker 3: When you was in there? What was going through your mind? Can?

2584
02:29:48,720 --> 02:29:49,039
Speaker 3: What did?

2585
02:29:49,040 --> 02:29:49,200
Speaker 1: What?

2586
02:29:49,240 --> 02:29:51,960
Speaker 3: Did I mean? Some people like man have an opportunity

2587
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:53,520
Speaker 3: to reflect, and I was like, man, this ain't the

2588
02:29:53,560 --> 02:29:54,960
Speaker 3: place for me. I ain't coming back here.

2589
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:58,199
Speaker 1: When you so what I've never I've never been in jail,

2590
02:29:58,280 --> 02:30:02,080
Speaker 1: and it was my decision to be there. If it's

2591
02:30:02,200 --> 02:30:04,280
Speaker 1: dangerous to be in the hood and you have to

2592
02:30:04,360 --> 02:30:06,879
Speaker 1: have a gun on you for protection, and it's either

2593
02:30:07,440 --> 02:30:11,160
Speaker 1: be judged by six or I mean judge by twelve

2594
02:30:11,240 --> 02:30:13,959
Speaker 1: or carried by six. I'm always gonna have my heater

2595
02:30:14,080 --> 02:30:16,240
Speaker 1: on me. So if you wanna tell me that you're

2596
02:30:16,240 --> 02:30:18,879
Speaker 1: gonna pull me over fifteen times looking for it. I'm

2597
02:30:18,879 --> 02:30:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna tell you fifteen times, you're gonna find it. Unfortunately,

2598
02:30:23,720 --> 02:30:27,480
Speaker 1: I smoke cigarettes and weed. If you catch me fifteen times,

2599
02:30:28,440 --> 02:30:33,080
Speaker 1: fifteen times, I'm gonna have it on me. What do

2600
02:30:33,120 --> 02:30:36,240
Speaker 1: you think I'm in jail thinking, Oh, I don't fuck

2601
02:30:36,320 --> 02:30:41,720
Speaker 1: up now needs decisions. I'm not gonna protect my life

2602
02:30:41,720 --> 02:30:44,120
Speaker 1: at all. When I get out of here. Fuck it.

2603
02:30:44,240 --> 02:30:45,720
Speaker 1: Let them do what they want to do to me.

2604
02:30:46,040 --> 02:30:46,840
Speaker 4: No.

2605
02:30:46,840 --> 02:30:49,560
Speaker 1: No, When I'm in there, I'm fine, and I'm understanding

2606
02:30:49,600 --> 02:30:51,959
Speaker 1: that I'm put here for a reason, and the people

2607
02:30:52,040 --> 02:30:54,600
Speaker 1: that get joy off me being in here are really

2608
02:30:54,600 --> 02:30:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna look stupid because I'm finna be free because you

2609
02:30:57,520 --> 02:31:00,960
Speaker 1: gotta be setting this up. I'm never anywhere to get anything.

2610
02:31:01,480 --> 02:31:04,520
Speaker 1: You don't know. I just made three hundred thousand dollars

2611
02:31:04,520 --> 02:31:07,240
Speaker 1: in your city. That's why you think I might be

2612
02:31:07,360 --> 02:31:11,280
Speaker 1: out here as a ne'er. Do well? You think he's

2613
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:15,400
Speaker 1: smoking w Yeah, he's got a medical license for it.

2614
02:31:15,560 --> 02:31:19,360
Speaker 1: He needs it. It's his only medication. Do you mind

2615
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:23,320
Speaker 1: if he takes it? It helps him eat because he

2616
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:27,600
Speaker 1: does nineteen one hundred city tours flying across the line,

2617
02:31:27,840 --> 02:31:30,280
Speaker 1: and so he doesn't get hungry. On the regular. He

2618
02:31:30,320 --> 02:31:33,360
Speaker 1: doesn't get sleepy at night. He's gotta literally put hisself

2619
02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:36,400
Speaker 1: to sleep. He's really gotta make itself eat. So this

2620
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:39,480
Speaker 1: marijuana helps him do both of those things.

2621
02:31:41,800 --> 02:31:44,600
Speaker 3: May I want to help you sleep? Oh yeah?

2622
02:31:44,959 --> 02:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Because remember, as a comedian, what you're doing is against

2623
02:31:48,640 --> 02:31:52,680
Speaker 1: your natural timeline. Your natural timeline wouldn't be that you

2624
02:31:52,680 --> 02:31:56,080
Speaker 1: would start your work day at eight o'clock PM and

2625
02:31:56,120 --> 02:31:59,320
Speaker 1: then your work day is over at two thirty am.

2626
02:31:59,800 --> 02:32:03,160
Speaker 1: That's a weird yes, right, So to tell your body

2627
02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:06,280
Speaker 1: now that we're pumped up on endorphins, now let's go

2628
02:32:06,360 --> 02:32:07,240
Speaker 1: to sleep at three.

2629
02:32:08,440 --> 02:32:09,400
Speaker 4: It don't work like that.

2630
02:32:09,520 --> 02:32:12,080
Speaker 1: Your body has to try to get a whole new schedule.

2631
02:32:12,520 --> 02:32:15,440
Speaker 1: So you know, it suffered. But that's what works for me.

2632
02:32:15,640 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I consistently used it. I told people all across the country,

2633
02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:22,039
Speaker 1: don't worry. This will be legal in our country. As

2634
02:32:22,080 --> 02:32:24,720
Speaker 1: soon as they find out how to charge taxes for it.

2635
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:27,720
Speaker 1: We will be legal in this country. Do they view

2636
02:32:27,760 --> 02:32:31,040
Speaker 1: me as some sort of visionary for my forwards?

2637
02:32:31,120 --> 02:32:34,400
Speaker 4: LEA, noep, you and drugs?

2638
02:32:35,160 --> 02:32:35,920
Speaker 1: That what hurt?

2639
02:32:37,240 --> 02:32:39,520
Speaker 3: Cap? But how have you been? I mean, bro? Every

2640
02:32:39,520 --> 02:32:41,280
Speaker 3: time they try to put you down, they try to

2641
02:32:41,320 --> 02:32:44,320
Speaker 3: put you to the back, put you bounce up, you

2642
02:32:44,440 --> 02:32:46,800
Speaker 3: move right back to the front. Am you? I mean

2643
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:49,160
Speaker 3: you like a super Bowl. You just keep bouncing in

2644
02:32:49,200 --> 02:32:50,199
Speaker 3: and you bounce higher.

2645
02:32:51,959 --> 02:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Trampoline skin is something that you ask God for. When

2646
02:32:56,840 --> 02:33:01,760
Speaker 1: I watched you play football, you had it. There's some

2647
02:33:01,840 --> 02:33:08,800
Speaker 1: people that there's really no such thing as hitting shining

2648
02:33:08,920 --> 02:33:11,080
Speaker 1: Sharps so hard that he don't want to run the

2649
02:33:11,120 --> 02:33:14,480
Speaker 1: ball the next play. Right, absolutely, And if that's your

2650
02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:17,120
Speaker 1: only goal is to hit him so hard they he

2651
02:33:17,160 --> 02:33:20,200
Speaker 1: don't want to beat him no more. You just out

2652
02:33:20,240 --> 02:33:20,480
Speaker 1: of luck.

2653
02:33:20,600 --> 02:33:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're wasting your time.

2654
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:25,440
Speaker 1: There's your coach can't help you. There ain't no pep

2655
02:33:25,480 --> 02:33:29,080
Speaker 1: talk gonna help you. Don't matter about the uniform you chilling.

2656
02:33:29,240 --> 02:33:32,680
Speaker 1: None of that matters. If it ever gets to mono

2657
02:33:32,800 --> 02:33:35,640
Speaker 1: e mano, May the best man win. And if you've

2658
02:33:35,680 --> 02:33:38,160
Speaker 1: been living your entire life trying to be the best

2659
02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:41,560
Speaker 1: man that you can for yourself, then you should feel

2660
02:33:41,560 --> 02:33:43,040
Speaker 1: great about those odds.

2661
02:33:44,280 --> 02:33:47,280
Speaker 3: What do you think about Kanye Rant? What's going on

2662
02:33:47,320 --> 02:33:50,160
Speaker 3: with Kanye? From a distance, obviously I don't know how

2663
02:33:50,200 --> 02:33:51,720
Speaker 3: well you know Kanye. I don't know if you've been

2664
02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:55,040
Speaker 3: around Kanye. But from a distance, what are you suspects

2665
02:33:55,120 --> 02:33:55,480
Speaker 3: going on?

2666
02:33:58,400 --> 02:34:03,080
Speaker 1: I suspect that we're pretty awful people. If we say

2667
02:34:03,120 --> 02:34:06,800
Speaker 1: that somebody got a mental illness and then we watch

2668
02:34:06,879 --> 02:34:12,840
Speaker 1: what they do. If you say somebody got special needs,

2669
02:34:13,040 --> 02:34:15,440
Speaker 1: then why would you be watching them and holding them

2670
02:34:15,480 --> 02:34:21,240
Speaker 1: accountable like everybody else. Wouldn't you grade them on a

2671
02:34:21,320 --> 02:34:28,720
Speaker 1: curve when you go who this guy? Because I mean,

2672
02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:32,320
Speaker 1: what are we reacting to? What are we're reacting to?

2673
02:34:32,640 --> 02:34:35,520
Speaker 1: You're the one that put him in a position where

2674
02:34:35,560 --> 02:34:38,480
Speaker 1: he thought he was God and could call itself yeavils?

2675
02:34:38,920 --> 02:34:42,240
Speaker 1: And you're the one told the guy that writes musical

2676
02:34:42,360 --> 02:34:46,320
Speaker 1: lyrics that he was a genius. You're the one that's like,

2677
02:34:46,560 --> 02:34:50,080
Speaker 1: so what do you ain't expect? The guy married a whore?

2678
02:34:50,600 --> 02:34:50,840
Speaker 3: Like what?

2679
02:34:53,760 --> 02:34:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't mean it like that. I mean married her

2680
02:34:55,720 --> 02:35:00,400
Speaker 1: because she was one. Now he didn't know, he understood that,

2681
02:35:00,680 --> 02:35:05,200
Speaker 1: he wanted that, He corded that that's what he wanted.

2682
02:35:05,240 --> 02:35:05,760
Speaker 1: The basics.

2683
02:35:09,680 --> 02:35:11,440
Speaker 3: I know what you gonna say, don't you say a cat?

2684
02:35:12,000 --> 02:35:14,800
Speaker 3: Don't you say it?

2685
02:35:14,920 --> 02:35:17,120
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is not correct. How does she end

2686
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:18,160
Speaker 1: up with Pete Davidson?

2687
02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it happens all and what if.

2688
02:35:23,680 --> 02:35:26,240
Speaker 1: You weren't even good enough for Pete and he leaves you.

2689
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:31,160
Speaker 1: What do that mean? The product was No. I don't

2690
02:35:31,240 --> 02:35:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't support or villainize Kanye because I don't understand

2691
02:35:36,520 --> 02:35:40,480
Speaker 1: what it is we want from him. I don't know

2692
02:35:40,520 --> 02:35:42,680
Speaker 1: why we look at a basketball player and say he

2693
02:35:42,720 --> 02:35:47,040
Speaker 1: didn't score no hockey goals this whole season. He don't

2694
02:35:47,080 --> 02:35:56,199
Speaker 1: play hockey. Kanye, don't say nothing. I can't agree with Okay,

2695
02:35:57,560 --> 02:35:59,480
Speaker 1: he was the weird guy in the beginning with the

2696
02:35:59,520 --> 02:36:02,440
Speaker 1: pace sweaters. When we met him, like, what do you

2697
02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:07,039
Speaker 1: think moving to a beat of your own? Drup this

2698
02:36:07,040 --> 02:36:10,560
Speaker 1: This dude started a church and kept cussing. Nobody in

2699
02:36:10,720 --> 02:36:13,560
Speaker 1: black church said nothing. You would have thought all the

2700
02:36:13,640 --> 02:36:17,119
Speaker 1: pastors would have came. You can't be no gospel artists.

2701
02:36:17,520 --> 02:36:21,520
Speaker 1: You just said, fuck that bitch. Nobody said nothing because

2702
02:36:21,560 --> 02:36:26,039
Speaker 1: Tdj's over there with beat in it. Only the guy

2703
02:36:26,080 --> 02:36:29,400
Speaker 1: you had here has been upfront and honest and a

2704
02:36:29,440 --> 02:36:32,480
Speaker 1: man of God and humble and took the l's he

2705
02:36:32,600 --> 02:36:35,360
Speaker 1: had to take and didn't.

2706
02:36:34,840 --> 02:36:37,400
Speaker 3: I did see it was trending, though, but I ain't no,

2707
02:36:37,640 --> 02:36:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't don't, I ain't no way I care. I

2708
02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:44,320
Speaker 3: don't let me go to this question right here.

2709
02:36:44,600 --> 02:36:46,400
Speaker 1: All people that love the truth gotta be happy if

2710
02:36:46,440 --> 02:36:48,840
Speaker 1: the truth coming out and livees is getting exposed. That's

2711
02:36:48,879 --> 02:36:51,720
Speaker 1: just what time it is. Twenty twenty four, folks.

2712
02:36:51,360 --> 02:36:52,640
Speaker 3: Are you related to Luda?

2713
02:36:54,840 --> 02:36:58,520
Speaker 1: No? So there was a crossroads where we were both

2714
02:36:58,680 --> 02:37:03,160
Speaker 1: invited to an Illuminati thing and there had to be

2715
02:37:03,200 --> 02:37:06,120
Speaker 1: one or the other of us and decisions had to

2716
02:37:06,120 --> 02:37:08,600
Speaker 1: be made. So it was both of us, we were equal.

2717
02:37:09,400 --> 02:37:11,199
Speaker 1: One of us had to cut off all their hair

2718
02:37:11,879 --> 02:37:15,520
Speaker 1: and couldn't do the sideburned thing no more with the points.

2719
02:37:15,560 --> 02:37:18,560
Speaker 1: And the next person they said was going to get

2720
02:37:18,600 --> 02:37:21,640
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars because they were gonna pay him

2721
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:24,800
Speaker 1: ten million a movie to do twenty movies. And that's

2722
02:37:24,879 --> 02:37:28,520
Speaker 1: how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out

2723
02:37:28,520 --> 02:37:30,879
Speaker 1: to be ludicrous and the other person turned out to

2724
02:37:30,879 --> 02:37:34,560
Speaker 1: be Kat Williams. Now one person ended up with a

2725
02:37:34,640 --> 02:37:37,680
Speaker 1: light skinned, ugly faced wife. That's never done it. Remember

2726
02:37:37,720 --> 02:37:39,720
Speaker 1: I told you that If I say that it applied

2727
02:37:39,720 --> 02:37:43,760
Speaker 1: to seven pills, it's part of what they give you. Okay,

2728
02:37:44,040 --> 02:37:47,640
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. I'm not mad about it. How

2729
02:37:48,120 --> 02:37:54,600
Speaker 1: they give Sir fast infurious on his own what number

2730
02:37:54,680 --> 02:37:55,039
Speaker 1: right now?

2731
02:38:00,080 --> 02:38:03,280
Speaker 3: I might give me one more women look to say.

2732
02:38:04,720 --> 02:38:06,440
Speaker 4: That's what they all end up saying at the end

2733
02:38:06,440 --> 02:38:06,880
Speaker 4: of the day.

2734
02:38:08,040 --> 02:38:10,240
Speaker 1: Kevin told you it won't go wear no dress until

2735
02:38:10,240 --> 02:38:12,200
Speaker 1: they offered him to dress, and then he put it on.

2736
02:38:12,360 --> 02:38:15,039
Speaker 1: And what did he say after he wore I made

2737
02:38:15,040 --> 02:38:18,400
Speaker 1: my own decision, dug. But you didn't make it before

2738
02:38:18,440 --> 02:38:22,200
Speaker 1: they brought it up, did you? Okay? All right?

2739
02:38:22,760 --> 02:38:24,520
Speaker 3: You have a lot of politics.

2740
02:38:25,120 --> 02:38:28,359
Speaker 1: Never talk about it. I'm not that controversial.

2741
02:38:31,200 --> 02:38:32,360
Speaker 3: Where are we headed?

2742
02:38:32,400 --> 02:38:35,840
Speaker 1: Cat? This is sad. This. We've never been here before.

2743
02:38:36,800 --> 02:38:39,920
Speaker 1: We've never been at the point where neither option is

2744
02:38:39,959 --> 02:38:42,920
Speaker 1: good for us in real life. No, this is a

2745
02:38:42,920 --> 02:38:46,040
Speaker 1: different conversation. This is would you rather go back with

2746
02:38:46,120 --> 02:38:48,760
Speaker 1: your ex? Or would you rather go back with the

2747
02:38:48,800 --> 02:38:56,160
Speaker 1: person before them? Both bad options? Like one guy, one

2748
02:38:56,280 --> 02:39:00,879
Speaker 1: guy can barely put his sentences together, and the other

2749
02:39:00,959 --> 02:39:06,320
Speaker 1: guy will put sentences together from whatever he's read or

2750
02:39:06,360 --> 02:39:07,720
Speaker 1: whoever toldly like.

2751
02:39:08,680 --> 02:39:10,320
Speaker 3: But how do we do? How do we get here?

2752
02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:12,160
Speaker 3: How do we get here?

2753
02:39:12,480 --> 02:39:19,440
Speaker 1: All division divides, There's no way around that. All division divides. Politics.

2754
02:39:20,280 --> 02:39:23,080
Speaker 1: Even in the beginning, when our Constitution was drawing up

2755
02:39:23,400 --> 02:39:26,680
Speaker 1: the two parties was not what they had in mind.

2756
02:39:27,120 --> 02:39:30,200
Speaker 1: They always thought that it would be two main and

2757
02:39:30,320 --> 02:39:34,760
Speaker 1: another independent party. They always assume the independent party would

2758
02:39:34,760 --> 02:39:37,640
Speaker 1: be just as strong as the others.

2759
02:39:39,400 --> 02:39:40,920
Speaker 4: A lot of that just didn't happen.

2760
02:39:40,959 --> 02:39:45,680
Speaker 1: And that's what I've learned more from comedy is that

2761
02:39:46,040 --> 02:39:49,960
Speaker 1: Republicans laugh at the exact same thing that Democrats laugh at.

2762
02:39:52,200 --> 02:39:54,879
Speaker 1: As long as I'm talking to Democrats, I can make

2763
02:39:54,920 --> 02:39:57,959
Speaker 1: them laugh for one hour straight about what Republicans do.

2764
02:39:59,120 --> 02:40:01,679
Speaker 1: By the same token, I can go talk to Republicans

2765
02:40:01,720 --> 02:40:04,600
Speaker 1: for one whole hour and have them dying about this

2766
02:40:04,720 --> 02:40:08,280
Speaker 1: stuff that Democrats do. But at the end of the day,

2767
02:40:08,920 --> 02:40:12,200
Speaker 1: who does that? Yeah, your team got an offense and

2768
02:40:12,280 --> 02:40:16,119
Speaker 1: the defense. They're not supposed to be enemies. The enemy

2769
02:40:16,240 --> 02:40:22,560
Speaker 1: is the other side. Wow, you can't do politics like that. Nope,

2770
02:40:22,640 --> 02:40:24,320
Speaker 1: it's not good for the country man.

2771
02:40:24,400 --> 02:40:26,800
Speaker 3: You see this, Mark Zuckerberg building this two hundred and

2772
02:40:26,840 --> 02:40:28,000
Speaker 3: seventy million dollar bunker.

2773
02:40:28,959 --> 02:40:31,320
Speaker 1: If you have a billion dollars, we have learned that

2774
02:40:31,360 --> 02:40:33,959
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to do. When Eli

2775
02:40:34,040 --> 02:40:37,240
Speaker 1: Musk wants to send space things in space, he don't

2776
02:40:37,240 --> 02:40:41,440
Speaker 1: have to ask nobody's permission. Congress, don't meet Senate, don't

2777
02:40:41,440 --> 02:40:45,400
Speaker 1: meet no police department, gotta be warned. He don't need

2778
02:40:45,440 --> 02:40:48,640
Speaker 1: a permit, none of that. If you got a billion dollars,

2779
02:40:48,640 --> 02:40:50,000
Speaker 1: you do what you want to do, and then you

2780
02:40:50,080 --> 02:40:52,800
Speaker 1: tell them what you did, right, And that's how it goes.

2781
02:40:52,840 --> 02:40:54,800
Speaker 3: What he build you want to senty million dollar bunker?

2782
02:40:54,800 --> 02:40:56,199
Speaker 3: What do you know that we don't look at.

2783
02:40:58,080 --> 02:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un? I don't know what you don't know?

2784
02:41:03,360 --> 02:41:06,440
Speaker 1: Do you understand that people that are not very bright

2785
02:41:06,520 --> 02:41:10,480
Speaker 1: are in charge of nuclear bombs all across the country.

2786
02:41:12,200 --> 02:41:17,280
Speaker 1: That's what he knows. He knows that thirty percent of

2787
02:41:17,440 --> 02:41:23,039
Speaker 1: all weapons systems are running off regular Wi Fi. So

2788
02:41:23,120 --> 02:41:25,600
Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means if a solar flare

2789
02:41:25,840 --> 02:41:31,000
Speaker 1: or a meteor hits either one of those, literally a

2790
02:41:31,160 --> 02:41:35,920
Speaker 1: bomb can go off just because the system accidentally got

2791
02:41:35,959 --> 02:41:41,720
Speaker 1: turned off. Yeah, that's what he knows. The people that

2792
02:41:41,879 --> 02:41:44,960
Speaker 1: are in power know that the people that are running

2793
02:41:45,080 --> 02:41:52,440
Speaker 1: the most complicated and deadliest things on the planet are

2794
02:41:52,560 --> 02:41:56,200
Speaker 1: just an average idiot. And you know lots of idiots.

2795
02:41:56,520 --> 02:41:57,560
Speaker 4: I do, yep.

2796
02:41:57,760 --> 02:42:00,840
Speaker 1: And these people are not special Back in the day

2797
02:42:00,879 --> 02:42:04,360
Speaker 1: they were, Yeah, not today, not today.

2798
02:42:04,920 --> 02:42:07,000
Speaker 3: You say you smoke a little weed, Yeah, smoke with snoop.

2799
02:42:08,920 --> 02:42:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually a bigger smoker than's snoopy. He'll tell

2800
02:42:13,840 --> 02:42:16,280
Speaker 1: you that. But I don't, Like I don't mix anything

2801
02:42:16,320 --> 02:42:20,800
Speaker 1: with my weed. I just do weed, right, So no, yeah,

2802
02:42:20,840 --> 02:42:26,119
Speaker 1: nobody has minimum. Nobody, nobody has nobody. Nobody does twenty

2803
02:42:26,160 --> 02:42:29,360
Speaker 1: blunts to day like me for thirty years, like like

2804
02:42:29,480 --> 02:42:31,720
Speaker 1: I was the first person to have a weed roller,

2805
02:42:31,800 --> 02:42:34,680
Speaker 1: like somebody whose job it was, Like I haven't. I

2806
02:42:34,720 --> 02:42:39,640
Speaker 1: haven't rolled the blunt in twenty years. Probably Like if

2807
02:42:39,680 --> 02:42:44,040
Speaker 1: you go, I'm saying I prefer the saliva of lady.

2808
02:42:44,160 --> 02:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, understand what I'm saying. If for a blunt,

2809
02:42:47,680 --> 02:42:50,480
Speaker 1: it's necessary for it to get late, ye right, And

2810
02:42:50,560 --> 02:42:53,560
Speaker 1: so if you had spent twenty years smoking with dudes,

2811
02:42:54,360 --> 02:42:58,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot of male saliva that you would have

2812
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:04,080
Speaker 1: just accident lee ingested. I can't. I can't be this

2813
02:43:04,200 --> 02:43:09,160
Speaker 1: specimen on that. It takes uh the life of nice

2814
02:43:09,240 --> 02:43:12,720
Speaker 1: ladies on that. But yeah, I'm a yeah, that's all

2815
02:43:12,760 --> 02:43:13,800
Speaker 1: I do.

2816
02:43:13,800 --> 02:43:18,240
Speaker 3: Do you consider yourself a king of comedy?

2817
02:43:18,040 --> 02:43:23,039
Speaker 1: They consider that, like when after Bernie left them, same

2818
02:43:23,200 --> 02:43:26,320
Speaker 1: three guys I'm telling you about the kings, Yeah, right,

2819
02:43:26,440 --> 02:43:29,359
Speaker 1: because d L is the greatest know d L slander

2820
02:43:29,400 --> 02:43:33,840
Speaker 1: gets tolerated. But they came to me. I was supposed

2821
02:43:33,840 --> 02:43:36,480
Speaker 1: to be the fourth King. I got the offer. What happen?

2822
02:43:36,600 --> 02:43:40,080
Speaker 1: I turned it down? Why because you shit on Bernie

2823
02:43:41,720 --> 02:43:44,360
Speaker 1: and I know the truth. You think i'ma Let you

2824
02:43:44,360 --> 02:43:46,560
Speaker 1: shit on Bernie and then come get me, I'm the

2825
02:43:46,600 --> 02:43:51,480
Speaker 1: next king? Fuck you? Why because the whole time Bernie

2826
02:43:51,560 --> 02:43:53,640
Speaker 1: was here, you was acting like you was funnier than him.

2827
02:43:54,040 --> 02:43:55,880
Speaker 1: The reason you were supposed to go last is because

2828
02:43:55,920 --> 02:43:59,760
Speaker 1: it was your tour. Tell the truth. It was Theve's tour.

2829
02:44:00,640 --> 02:44:02,400
Speaker 1: Now he was gonna be called the King's Comedy. Was

2830
02:44:02,480 --> 02:44:05,880
Speaker 1: Stem's tour. These are the guys opening for him. Of

2831
02:44:05,920 --> 02:44:08,560
Speaker 1: course you got a close if it's your tour, that's

2832
02:44:08,600 --> 02:44:11,320
Speaker 1: why it was such a big deal. But you couldn't

2833
02:44:11,320 --> 02:44:14,680
Speaker 1: do it cause you can't beat the best. And until

2834
02:44:14,760 --> 02:44:18,480
Speaker 1: you humble on yourself, you will forever be kinged by

2835
02:44:18,520 --> 02:44:21,920
Speaker 1: the King. And because you finally did it, cause you

2836
02:44:21,920 --> 02:44:24,680
Speaker 1: didn't have no other choice. And now that he gone,

2837
02:44:24,800 --> 02:44:27,440
Speaker 1: you go ahead like he wanted to be a movie star.

2838
02:44:27,760 --> 02:44:31,880
Speaker 1: You stop it, You stop it. That man was funnier

2839
02:44:31,879 --> 02:44:34,320
Speaker 1: than all of y'all, and y'all thought y'all had one

2840
02:44:34,360 --> 02:44:35,120
Speaker 1: over on him.

2841
02:44:35,240 --> 02:44:37,640
Speaker 4: You thought he was black and ugly and you.

2842
02:44:37,680 --> 02:44:40,760
Speaker 1: Were good looking it. He couldn't make it cause you did,

2843
02:44:41,440 --> 02:44:44,560
Speaker 1: and that ain't the way comedy worked. The King is

2844
02:44:44,640 --> 02:44:51,120
Speaker 1: the funniest period every time, and that's why no audience

2845
02:44:51,200 --> 02:44:54,959
Speaker 1: member was ever swayed. It didn't matter where Bernie went.

2846
02:44:55,240 --> 02:44:57,440
Speaker 1: You think if Bernie went first, he wasn't the King.

2847
02:44:58,720 --> 02:45:02,240
Speaker 1: Get out of here, Get out of here, Get your

2848
02:45:02,320 --> 02:45:06,760
Speaker 1: ego out of this. You let the best be the best, right.

2849
02:45:07,000 --> 02:45:09,400
Speaker 3: Cant wait you ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming on, bro,

2850
02:45:09,440 --> 02:45:11,840
Speaker 3: I really appreciate that. Thanks for sharing them. Thank you

2851
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:14,959
Speaker 3: the stories setting the record straight. Now you know they're

2852
02:45:14,959 --> 02:45:15,760
Speaker 3: gonna double back.

2853
02:45:16,360 --> 02:45:20,840
Speaker 1: Impossible. Impossible only because if once you play this back,

2854
02:45:20,879 --> 02:45:24,080
Speaker 1: you'll realize I didn't say anything that made me look

2855
02:45:24,240 --> 02:45:27,840
Speaker 1: in a good light. I wasn't tearing down others to

2856
02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:33,240
Speaker 1: boost myself up. But I do have to acknowledge things

2857
02:45:33,280 --> 02:45:37,520
Speaker 1: that did not take place. Like we're very ingenuous if

2858
02:45:37,520 --> 02:45:39,840
Speaker 1: we say this is not a game and we don't

2859
02:45:39,920 --> 02:45:43,080
Speaker 1: play it, and people ain't in positions, and people don't

2860
02:45:43,120 --> 02:45:45,720
Speaker 1: have their favorites and they group and they click it.

2861
02:45:46,160 --> 02:45:50,600
Speaker 1: But that happens at all businesses. No, no, say what

2862
02:45:50,760 --> 02:45:53,520
Speaker 1: side you on, Say why you don't like the other side,

2863
02:45:54,120 --> 02:45:57,120
Speaker 1: then then get to the game. But in the game,

2864
02:45:57,440 --> 02:45:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm wiping the field with them to the point where

2865
02:45:59,760 --> 02:46:03,120
Speaker 1: they don't even compete anymore. So how you gonna let

2866
02:46:03,160 --> 02:46:06,680
Speaker 1: a dude that have been on the bench for fifteen years?

2867
02:46:08,600 --> 02:46:11,240
Speaker 7: I would have beat Jordan's lass. Shut up, Jordan is

2868
02:46:11,240 --> 02:46:15,080
Speaker 7: still alive. We'll calling Jordan right now. You can't beat

2869
02:46:15,120 --> 02:46:20,400
Speaker 7: him now, not then, you can't beat him.

2870
02:46:20,320 --> 02:46:24,920
Speaker 1: Now right Cat Williams Shinny Shark.

2871
02:46:26,560 --> 02:46:28,439
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, Bro, Appreciate you.

2872
02:46:29,680 --> 02:46:32,080
