Speaker 1: the city. Thank you, thank you, sir, thank you, Yes, sir, sir.
Speaker 1: Stay out of the potholes. The potholes that's that on
Speaker 1: the streets. That's gonna be in the Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of places, Oh potholes. Yeah. No, my audience is, uh,
Speaker 1: I have a couple. I've been married twent twent in
Speaker 1: three years. I tend to attract people who have a
Speaker 1: little invested time together. So that's that's usually. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't get the pot if some potholes out there.
Speaker 1: It is, yeah, it always is, But I don't get
Speaker 1: I get them coming together most of the time. And
Speaker 1: you don't have too much ruggets at your shoves, not
Speaker 1: a lot. Every once and then they're like, oh this
Speaker 1: is something, this is this is this is a little
Speaker 1: different you got. I'm a storytell I'm from the classic.
Speaker 1: I'm a classic stand up. Ain't ain't uh this generation?
Speaker 1: I'm generation. Yeah, I'm staying. Mike stays. Yeah, So you
Speaker 1: gotta stay you know, in the way, see what you
Speaker 1: don't stay right now? So is that you gotta say
Speaker 1: you gotta stay connected. It's a connection. Yeah, in your opinion,
Speaker 1: who is the greatest comedian of all times. Wow, I
Speaker 1: see that's a that's a loaded question. The bro the
Speaker 1: greatest comedian all time, and my book is Richard. Go ahead, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know because comedy is subjective, so you can't
Speaker 1: you can't say one person was the greatest about that.
Speaker 1: He was the most controversial, the most uh talking about
Speaker 1: the most historical value whatever. Richard got all that. But
Speaker 1: I think dying. Yeah, he's the bar of especially even
Speaker 1: and the girls pross color lines too. He's just the bob.
Speaker 1: But that's what a comedian po to do. But because
Speaker 1: he was dead and that this time, everybody else stick
Speaker 1: to a formula, and Richard came along and told you
Speaker 1: about his life and he was actually living that life.
Speaker 1: So you've seen folks. So he came with a different style.
Speaker 1: So I think anytime you come with a different style,
Speaker 1: people naturally gravitate to that style and then you have
Speaker 1: a lot of what it's called cloning. H Well, who
Speaker 1: is your favorite comedian all time? My favorite comedian of
Speaker 1: all time is probably I got Richard is one of them. Uh,
Speaker 1: George Calling is one of them. I like Gallagher too.
Speaker 1: It's pretty weird that the Wilder Malon. Guy, that's a laye.
Speaker 1: That's what comedists ject. Whoever on bust Water. I like,
Speaker 1: uh Da Chappelle's is great, Chris Rock is great. So
Speaker 1: it's just like we we have targument about uh basketball
Speaker 1: players or football eras. It's just it's just eras of
Speaker 1: of what we call greatness and and in communists that
Speaker 1: what I say subjected. So I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: I have a who I think the greatest all the
Speaker 1: time and who I think? Uh. I like to look
Speaker 1: at it like boxing raps, like top five, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have a top five mount rushmo. Yeah. So Richard Eddie
Speaker 1: Edie first come out in leather and then they're like,
Speaker 1: oh you know what made when you got that leather on?
Speaker 1: So Eddie was a different beast and he and he
Speaker 1: didn't even get to develop all that because movies and
Speaker 1: everything he took him away. Yeah, but that man was
Speaker 1: walking around them, how the leather types. I'm mad for that.
Speaker 1: But we're good. We all right, we alright, well we're
Speaker 1: good and nobody never, nobody has never seen that before,
Speaker 1: like what is this? And then so Eddie too, Uh
Speaker 1: we got Colling on there and we got Bill Cobby
Speaker 1: on that out Bill Cobby. Outside of what Bill I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, he clif hostable I'm talking about. I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: Uh Bill Cosby himself stand up. Just go back and
Speaker 1: watch Billcocks himself talking about his family. Different. He had
Speaker 1: a different style. So it's he's on the matter regards
Speaker 1: of what he did on the back end, all well,
Speaker 1: thank you. And then he was acquitted for that ship
Speaker 1: like we was and the cold have been sealed, so
Speaker 1: that's getting into her nothing. But he wasn't well just
Speaker 1: for uh factuality, he wasn't acquitted. He wasn't acquitted. The
Speaker 1: charges were thrown out. Okay, so yeah, so he was drawing.
Speaker 1: I'm talking strictly comedic talent and opening was the first,
Speaker 1: uh go back to ASPA. He made the stunt people
Speaker 1: Hollywood to do stunts. So he opened that whole lane
Speaker 1: for people to get work because it went no stunt
Speaker 1: man getting work like that. Bill Cobba did that. So
Speaker 1: Big Big Guy was a great stand up and great
Speaker 1: But I don't know about the stuff, but on and
Speaker 1: and five it is probably yeah, who Uh, I don't
Speaker 1: want I don't want to lead the ladies out. I
Speaker 1: don't want to lead the ladies out. Uh, who I
Speaker 1: think is a great one of the sack is a
Speaker 1: great lady comedian. You know who I think is like
Speaker 1: it is a lot of great ones out there. But
Speaker 1: when I when I bar for bar joke per minute?
Speaker 1: Uh huh Underwood. Oh oh yeah, Now I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know the new Share but yeah pocketbook Karen Share. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she was the first, So I don't know what
Speaker 1: she is now. Black black black. And she was a Republican. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she had she had a whole another thing. Is it
Speaker 1: a problem that she's a Republican? Oh no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that was a different hook. Uh no, Your
Speaker 1: your affiliation is your affiliation. But you know, you know
Speaker 1: black Volte is like we we were boring into, uh
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, and then you're like, what you gotta
Speaker 1: figure out what party you were? But you gotta figure
Speaker 1: out man. Yeah, So that that that that I always
Speaker 1: thought you'd be who you be, You're thing you ain't
Speaker 1: gotta you ain't gotta you gotta follow the cattle that
Speaker 1: called all the cats democrats democrats. H Well, I'm independent,
Speaker 1: I mean, but I probably not voted. Mo. Well, I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna get into there. But yeah, thing and and
Speaker 1: and and and will you don't have to agree with
Speaker 1: me on this, man, because we hardly ever agree on ship.
Speaker 1: But I think that this next primary and and and
Speaker 1: the next uh major election we have, I think all
Speaker 1: Democrats hold back their votes and don't vote ship until
Speaker 1: we start seeing something. Stop stop, stop giving your fucking
Speaker 1: votes away, for these clowns are coming there and sitting
Speaker 1: just just just coming for photo option. You know, like
Speaker 1: like I'm sick of that ship. We had a great
Speaker 1: movement with that this last time. Yeah, but we're not
Speaker 1: getting nothing. But no, no, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We had a great we had a strong movement. I
Speaker 1: was saying, I'm gonna hold my vote, hold my vote,
Speaker 1: hold my vote. Even me, I was on some hold
Speaker 1: my vote until like the last month in two and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm tired of looking at Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: ugly ass face. I'm tired of here in his mouth.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted him to be done with him.
Speaker 1: And I knew I didn't. I didn't expect much from
Speaker 1: from Biden. I'm straight up, I didn't expect much from him,
Speaker 1: but I just felt like, man, we across that bridge
Speaker 1: when we get that, and we have and we are there.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, I feel exactly like you feel, Bro.
Speaker 1: I feel like we have to hold that vote. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: what is the incentive for them to do right by us? Nothing?
Speaker 1: They have none. And I know that's hard for somebody,
Speaker 1: some people out there to even found him, but man,
Speaker 1: we really do we We ain't getting nothing, man, these people.
Speaker 1: I mean, if not for the black vote, then the
Speaker 1: Democrats don't win. So they win and they get in
Speaker 1: and what do they do spit in our face with
Speaker 1: this Asian hate? Bill, Man, I ain't got nothing against
Speaker 1: Asian people, Bro. Everybody should everybody should be protected. But
Speaker 1: we have been the least protected, bro in this country.
Speaker 1: And we've given more to this country than any other
Speaker 1: race of people period, including white people. Black people built
Speaker 1: this country. Nobody else built this country. We built this country.
Speaker 1: So we deserve just as much, if not more, prosperity
Speaker 1: than anybody. I agree with you on on on that,
Speaker 1: will Uh. I don't agree with the the whole year
Speaker 1: vote because it's is you still gotta have somebody, somebody
Speaker 1: in the room who who at least you feel has
Speaker 1: your interests until you get your interests met, So you
Speaker 1: still have if we know, we know once that maybe
Speaker 1: ain't got none of your interests in in mind. You
Speaker 1: you have seen something you have The Republicans probably have
Speaker 1: more of your interests in mind than you think. But
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. But I'm saying resulting the
Speaker 1: proof is in the pudding. So if if if your life,
Speaker 1: I always say politics is your life, your personal life
Speaker 1: has to change with God's who in office. If your
Speaker 1: life don't change, it's still you still gotta do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do. You can never just look to politicians
Speaker 1: to change your life. Regardless of who in office, you
Speaker 1: still gotta get up very moaning whatever your uh profession,
Speaker 1: hustle deal, whatever you got, the you got the move
Speaker 1: that needle on your own, and then you wouldn't be
Speaker 1: Reilly against the system as much. You know, you know
Speaker 1: it's systematic things in place to keep us down on
Speaker 1: black people down, or Asian down or what I mean.
Speaker 1: We had a rock I mean in office, we did.
Speaker 1: We did, and we say, okay, we'll approached racial world,
Speaker 1: but we we're never gonna be po racist. So we
Speaker 1: we're dealing with the race thing period, each and every
Speaker 1: day and now we they're listening. But it's progress. It
Speaker 1: is a slow they some someone listening. They're listening. In
Speaker 1: my company, I tract white people, black people, Asian people,
Speaker 1: So I had to make all this like like I
Speaker 1: started comedy with with black people, Urban all the way.
Speaker 1: Then I groot audience, did a show called that Come
Speaker 1: Standing now as America Season Nate That Come Standing. So no, no,
Speaker 1: it's just it just introduced your your voice, your comedy
Speaker 1: to a bigger audience. But what I have found in
Speaker 1: that journey too, everybody has agreements, everybody has something that
Speaker 1: they and whoever we you rap, rampumps, you got a voice,
Speaker 1: You got a voice, I got a voice. So is
Speaker 1: how we use our voice to motivate r P well
Speaker 1: the people who because you can be a messenger the
Speaker 1: people I can't reach. You can be a message to
Speaker 1: people I can't reach. So we're all a different messenges.
Speaker 1: We just we want the same thing. We won't fair, quality, equality,
Speaker 1: we won't. We want to empowerment, we won't take you
Speaker 1: off and want to raise our kids, want kids to
Speaker 1: have a better all those things, all those things. We
Speaker 1: all want the same thing, but we can never get it.
Speaker 1: You can get it. You can get it with force.
Speaker 1: But you still gotta have a voice in the room
Speaker 1: who has your best and that and that's what we're saying.
Speaker 1: We don't have a voice in the room that has
Speaker 1: our best. But but we're going to buy a face
Speaker 1: because we was just gonna go buy the face. About faces,
Speaker 1: it's about party, it's about whoever. I think it's a person,
Speaker 1: the face, the face is not being represented properly. I
Speaker 1: agree with you, anyone the Democrat, let me say this something.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be done with it. The Democrats, white, black,
Speaker 1: you know exactly what the problem is with with us.
Speaker 1: And they're not saying ship. They're not doing ship, and
Speaker 1: they don't deserve my vote. Period. I take my chances
Speaker 1: with a Republican. No, I take my chance with none
Speaker 1: of their asses. I'm not I wouldn't give it away
Speaker 1: to any one of them. It's like we listen when
Speaker 1: you talk to if you don't vote, you say, if
Speaker 1: you don't vote, we gave it away. So if you
Speaker 1: give it so, if you so, if you give it
Speaker 1: to somebody who don't do ship for you didn't you
Speaker 1: didn't give it away. I feel, you know what the
Speaker 1: they don't do ship for us. They don't do ship
Speaker 1: with us in mind at all, at least at least
Speaker 1: a Republican cut of taxes. Depending on what your bracket is,
Speaker 1: you do. But the majority of black people die. Okay,
Speaker 1: and wena have you gotta have somebody that like you
Speaker 1: got you you considered successful, so you gotta have somebody
Speaker 1: to be successful for other kids and coming along to
Speaker 1: be able to emulate. That said, you've got certain principles
Speaker 1: that these are some principles to success. So if you
Speaker 1: can go back and tdse kids the next generate, these
Speaker 1: are some principles young man, young lady that you can
Speaker 1: you to better your life. Don't don't worry about what's
Speaker 1: going on over there. This and knowing, knowing where you
Speaker 1: come from. You, I'm sure you got gang of people
Speaker 1: in my family. I first want to do comma, any
Speaker 1: kind of entertainment. Now, I got rappers, I got book writers,
Speaker 1: I got shelves, I got all kinds of different artistic expression.
Speaker 1: People had locked up because they've seen one person do it.
Speaker 1: So even if we we progress is always slow. So
Speaker 1: it was progress. Progress is not always slow. Progress. Progress
Speaker 1: Uh happens overnight when those who are in power wanted
Speaker 1: to happen overnight, when they wanted to happen immediately. It
Speaker 1: happens to media when it comes when it comes to us,
Speaker 1: when when when it comes to us, They're always talking
Speaker 1: about progress as progress is slow, progress is slow. No
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no no no. Uh if if somebody
Speaker 1: was let's say, somebody put their hands on your sister,
Speaker 1: your mama, Uh, it's progress slow. When when you when
Speaker 1: you hold on, when you get ready to get at
Speaker 1: their ass, is that probably are you're gonna be like
Speaker 1: when you know, I can't do it right now. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't get at you right now because because because
Speaker 1: progress is slow, uh, you know it's gonna be slow.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm gonna wait for about five years and
Speaker 1: then I come see you. Okay, but see, but that's
Speaker 1: still I'm probably gonna respond because I was gonna be
Speaker 1: an emotional decision because I'm passionate most of the decisions
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm gonna be passionate about my mama
Speaker 1: and sisters. So until we find a person who about
Speaker 1: the black people are passionate about getting that progress, we
Speaker 1: we we we can't I always say, we're energy, we're
Speaker 1: trained for any so we all know what we need.
Speaker 1: You you could speak what I'm saying. I'm passionate about
Speaker 1: more people, right, So I'm not. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at any other people. I love everybody. But the
Speaker 1: further the older I get, and the further we come
Speaker 1: along in this country that we live in, man, I
Speaker 1: realized how far we are behind everybody else. Well, y'all
Speaker 1: you know we we we we gave you all ence,
Speaker 1: and we gave you'll give me all my ship, give
Speaker 1: me all my ship at one time when the fun
Speaker 1: is you spoon feeding me. I get that. I deal
Speaker 1: with that. This's and doing in entertainment. We all deal
Speaker 1: with that. Like worth you're talking about is different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's talk about worth, he's talk about work. You mentioned
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier about you know how you grew your
Speaker 1: audience and now you have a mixed audience, right, you
Speaker 1: know you have a lot of white fans. But what
Speaker 1: we do too, we have a we have a we
Speaker 1: have a large a large portion of our fan base
Speaker 1: is white. But that don't stop us from expressing ourselves
Speaker 1: and ride and speaking on the truth and what's going
Speaker 1: on and and the fans that are real fans. And
Speaker 1: we got some fair weather fans who who are out
Speaker 1: there just like everybody else. They just fans of the music.
Speaker 1: They like the music, they stick to the music. Shut up,
Speaker 1: shut up, and wrap. You know, we got those types.
Speaker 1: But but but the fans that we funk with for real,
Speaker 1: they understand, they understand what's happening, and they support what
Speaker 1: we said, what we got to say. Now, we're never
Speaker 1: gonna get to a point to where where we are
Speaker 1: going to be silent so a fan can be comfortable.
Speaker 1: You know, We're not gonna be I I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: be silent about you know, uh, somebody doing wrong to me,
Speaker 1: a wrong in my people. And I'm gonna be silent
Speaker 1: just because I got some fans over here that's buying
Speaker 1: my records that don't look like me. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm never gonna be like. I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: be a dude. Well, I got white fans to what
Speaker 1: Republicans buy my records too. So you said I never,
Speaker 1: I never, I never, I never, I'll never, I'll never.
Speaker 1: I'll never compromise my integrity. You know, I'll never compromise
Speaker 1: my manhood to to to to appease someone who is
Speaker 1: uh anybody, especially somebody, but especially somebody who uh is
Speaker 1: insensitive to pain and struggle and and and people being
Speaker 1: done wrong. See, we got that's a white kid by
Speaker 1: the name a Hunt of Britain who was who was
Speaker 1: murdered recently in Arkansas and um by the police. The
Speaker 1: police gonna dude down. The dude had an issue with
Speaker 1: his truck. He get of his truck. Uh, he had
Speaker 1: a transmission issue with his truck. And he has some
Speaker 1: anti freeze in the back of the truck and he
Speaker 1: the policeman pulled him over. He get out the truck
Speaker 1: and reach the grat anti freeze. Police gun them down. Now,
Speaker 1: all these times, all these murders with black people getting killed,
Speaker 1: many of these people in this rural community, this rural
Speaker 1: Arkansas community, never spoke out against police brutality, never once
Speaker 1: road for the victim. They were always apologizing for the
Speaker 1: police and being very understanding. They was screaming back the
Speaker 1: blue back, the blue Blue Lives Matter. Were not at
Speaker 1: the white boy get killed. Now, it's justice, justice for hunters,
Speaker 1: justice for hunters. See, people A lot of times oftentimes
Speaker 1: people don't feel anything. They don't feel empathy for other
Speaker 1: human beings until they knock on their door. Um, when
Speaker 1: i'm bullets show up and there family members are their
Speaker 1: loved one's body. Then all of a sudden, oh not
Speaker 1: as person. Now we care you see. But what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen is that they're gonna settle out of court. They're
Speaker 1: gonna write a family big check. More than likely the
Speaker 1: cop ain't gonna go to jail because if he does,
Speaker 1: as a set of presidents, they don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1: So unlikely cop gonna go to jail, and then after
Speaker 1: that it's gonna they're gonna be right back to normal.
Speaker 1: Because we live in the type of society where people
Speaker 1: just don't care about other people. We don't. We don't.
Speaker 1: We don't love our neighbors. We don't love our neighbors children,
Speaker 1: we don't. Well, that's that's getting into uh well we
Speaker 1: that little device right here has changed how society. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's like you used to see something going down. Hey,
Speaker 1: let me, y'all stop that, y'all break that now is
Speaker 1: let me get the footage. So now everything everybody has
Speaker 1: become monetized. Sea. So we were actually living in capitalistic times.
Speaker 1: So if I can capitalize, not me personally, but people
Speaker 1: look at you as as product now, not as a
Speaker 1: hearing being. So if I'm gonna help you, how's that
Speaker 1: gonna help me? That's how people are looking at stuff.
Speaker 1: They're not They're not looking at it as humanity. So
Speaker 1: I always say, uh, white people can't can't be the
Speaker 1: more police because of history. You can't be the more police.
Speaker 1: And and they just know that they can't be because
Speaker 1: the morality portion of it. You know, some stuff being
Speaker 1: done so you can dave me. So we we are
Speaker 1: the loving people. I know that. But like they got
Speaker 1: some here, we are the sunden people. We're very we're
Speaker 1: very enlightened. Like you said, we don't room feed me. No,
Speaker 1: we want we want the whole meal. But they like
Speaker 1: they who being whoever you want day to be the
Speaker 1: power to be. They like to control how the food
Speaker 1: is being fed. Give you something, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: give you the whole the whole play, because I gotta
Speaker 1: stay in control of how you move or how you
Speaker 1: you can. You got your voice, but I still had
Speaker 1: to control certain things. That's like me, I should be
Speaker 1: booked all the time because there's enough audience for that.
Speaker 1: But dinner with agency and managing the people, well, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's always gonna be some obstruction along the way
Speaker 1: to you getting where you're gonna do. But as long
Speaker 1: as you keep in mind, oh I know where pol,
Speaker 1: I know where poled to be, I know where to
Speaker 1: look like. You just gotta keep running your race. And
Speaker 1: that's how we're doing. And that's why we were endurance people.
Speaker 1: That's why we got great endurance. So why we're very
Speaker 1: athletic because God knew it. Whoever you call your God,
Speaker 1: he knew. Hey, didn't y'all have. Y'all have a fight
Speaker 1: for everything that you get. But you're gonna get it,
Speaker 1: but it might not be in your time. It might
Speaker 1: have me and my time might have be in your
Speaker 1: time ranged if resh slows. So we're planning to seed.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna eat all DC. My little kid planning
Speaker 1: some seeds. He he didn't get to see all the
Speaker 1: fruit of the seeds. But we're eating off those fruit.
Speaker 1: And this we're gonna plans most seeds. Somebody gonna eat
Speaker 1: about fruit. But we're not gonna get all the fruit
Speaker 1: in our generations. But we can reil on it. We
Speaker 1: can reil on it because we can. Hey dude, no no,
Speaker 1: not gonna don't No no, they might not own it,
Speaker 1: but next generate the generated come high, they names gad boys.
Speaker 1: Reloged podcast will be right back after the poet. Let's
Speaker 1: go back to the shows. Let's go back to your
Speaker 1: to your performances. I do wonder why I don't see
Speaker 1: more of rod Man out there on the road or
Speaker 1: on TV doing shows and stuff like that. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you've you've done The Bad Boys of Comedy, and you've
Speaker 1: done the Last Comic Standing, and you know, you've you've
Speaker 1: done a number of TV shows and you've even done
Speaker 1: what's that movie you did with that Adams Funny People,
Speaker 1: The Funny People. You know, I'm thinking, like any moment,
Speaker 1: this dude is shoo like Spanish fear so so like
Speaker 1: what the when? Like? How frustrating is that to know, man,
Speaker 1: that you have the talent and you keep running into
Speaker 1: the stumbling blocks? Uh? Is I always look at as
Speaker 1: part of my It's part of my journey. It's not
Speaker 1: it's not new that it happened to me in any
Speaker 1: comment I talked to, Uh that came before me? Oh
Speaker 1: that ain't new they're gonna they're gonna do that. Oh
Speaker 1: they did that, They're gonna do that. So it's all
Speaker 1: a part of the growth process. Would you say it's
Speaker 1: agent or management? Huh? Management, It could be any anybody.
Speaker 1: It don't matter what title. But you don't you don't
Speaker 1: never h It's like the lite order T I s A.
Speaker 1: It is wrapped. You find friends and folds when people
Speaker 1: get into you, So you don't. You don't you as
Speaker 1: you go, you have your chill leaders, and then you
Speaker 1: also have people who like try to slow that process
Speaker 1: down because whatever they're going through, whatever fear they have
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get ahead of them or whatever. So
Speaker 1: you have those people who want to, as they say,
Speaker 1: piss on your five sometimes. And how do you when
Speaker 1: this is happening, how do you keep your spirits up
Speaker 1: and maintain God? Man, I pray. I come from a
Speaker 1: praying family, So you gotta you gotta pray, and you
Speaker 1: gotta uh, you gotta believe in your original vision for yourself.
Speaker 1: So I I try to take care of me first.
Speaker 1: If I can take care of me, and I and
Speaker 1: I spread a little a little joy, a little funny,
Speaker 1: then I did my part for this I understand commonly
Speaker 1: music it's a ministry. This is how this is how
Speaker 1: many preachers preach, they do their thing. I made people laugh,
Speaker 1: that's medicine. Music made people joy. Take you to a
Speaker 1: place that's medicine. So it's our medicine. It's just sometimes
Speaker 1: people don't want to give you to bid and do
Speaker 1: your medicine in. But you know where you're medicine pops
Speaker 1: to be distributed. It's just you gotta keep you gotta
Speaker 1: keep plugging away and doing your thing. And that's that's
Speaker 1: that's how I look at it is, uh, whatever, whatever
Speaker 1: obstacles I face or whatever things, that's that's having me grow.
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's refining me. And it ain't never.
Speaker 1: It ain't never nice when it's happening, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: because I'm how does fish freezing just do boo boo boo.
Speaker 1: But you had I said let's go do way. People
Speaker 1: said let's go to west and now we need to
Speaker 1: go that way. You said let go I said you
Speaker 1: go the way, but not do not do you believe
Speaker 1: that when you were saying going this way, do you
Speaker 1: believe that your way was the wrong way? Right way?
Speaker 1: You believe you. But I'm but I'm saying, do you
Speaker 1: believe that now? Even now you believe your your way
Speaker 1: was the right way, right, So so you don't believe
Speaker 1: that what happened. So what I'm trying to get to
Speaker 1: is that at no point had did your did your
Speaker 1: work ethic slow down? That never slowed slow down? If
Speaker 1: that didn't contribute to anything as far as like your
Speaker 1: work ethic or your ethic or your attitude toward toward
Speaker 1: the industry. M I think we all get some get
Speaker 1: some nicks and some scars along the way, Like I
Speaker 1: appreciate that, But but did they ever break your spirit
Speaker 1: enough to make you say, I'm not I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pump the brakes on this for a while. Okay. Uh
Speaker 1: it made me hungry or and it made me and
Speaker 1: it made me look at the mirror, check myself and say, okay,
Speaker 1: what can I do better? Okay? So so you got
Speaker 1: so you just got some blockers out there. It's some
Speaker 1: blockers out there on you. I don't but I have
Speaker 1: no name, no face, But I always say it started
Speaker 1: man in the mirror, So I gotta make some lift,
Speaker 1: not right, So yeah, I always go back to source
Speaker 1: me gud and say, okay, what can I do to
Speaker 1: better men and learn from those things that I made them?
Speaker 1: I made it might be me, So I'm never I'm
Speaker 1: not was saying somebody else is outside of me, because
Speaker 1: everything aspos inside of me, right, I just gotta I
Speaker 1: just gotta unlock it. So whatever whatever like you say,
Speaker 1: should code do, uh, you have to unlock those things.
Speaker 1: Like I know, I put to be a bigger voice
Speaker 1: and do, but I gotta I gotta be a lot
Speaker 1: to to do those things. So it's it's I think
Speaker 1: it's got a lot to do with management an agent stuff.
Speaker 1: Well that that's a whole yeah, because put you in
Speaker 1: different different in front of different people, and they don't
Speaker 1: know and sometimes they don't know yes, and sometimes they
Speaker 1: don't know what they have. So sometimes they judge black
Speaker 1: talent sometimes or group us all together and say, okay,
Speaker 1: you're this kind of talent, couse and we all got
Speaker 1: on a hat, we this kind of talent though, we
Speaker 1: all got a tattoo. We did kind of talent though.
Speaker 1: So it's not if you can't you can't box talent in.
Speaker 1: You just always say let the people decide. So who
Speaker 1: those who pot to hear my boys. They're gonna respond
Speaker 1: of my boys, So correct me if I'm wrong. So
Speaker 1: after you won last Comic Standard, that was a huge platform.
Speaker 1: That was time, it was time to go. Okay, So
Speaker 1: do you believe that perhaps you know, the people who
Speaker 1: was supposed to be picking up the phone making cars
Speaker 1: was sitting back waiting on the phone the ring. Yes, okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they said, we don't. We don't want him to we
Speaker 1: don't want him to have that like that, because it
Speaker 1: was it was, it was powerful, I mean, and it's
Speaker 1: still it's still powerful because a guy like me. Oh,
Speaker 1: I always say boring into poverty, but I've been able
Speaker 1: to grow it and attract the larger, larger audience of
Speaker 1: people who appreciate what I do. And sometimes if you
Speaker 1: can't control that, sometimes you say just kill it, try
Speaker 1: to kill it or whatever it is. But you don't
Speaker 1: like you know, when I come to Houston, I'm doing
Speaker 1: a whole weekend again one night. I appreciate it, but
Speaker 1: I know I'm a weekend guy. I'm I'm a monkey guy.
Speaker 1: Put me on the monkey here. Let me let me
Speaker 1: build that weekend out. Well, Well, you know, it's been
Speaker 1: it's been a minute since everybody's seen, and so they
Speaker 1: they they're trying to they're a little scared to see,
Speaker 1: trying to see what's happening. Well, the thing about the
Speaker 1: thing about it is that like you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're in the same space. So anytime that you've been
Speaker 1: off the scene for a while, the promoters don't really know.
Speaker 1: Even it doesn't matter how much success you've had in
Speaker 1: the past, the promoters don't really know what the crowd
Speaker 1: reaction is going to be. So sometimes instead of them saying, okay, man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go all out on this tour, we're gonna
Speaker 1: just just roll Werena, We're gonna run it all. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna book the standard. You know, Thursday through Sunday.
Speaker 1: We're gonna run it Thursday Sunday, two shows a week.
Speaker 1: You know, if it gets hot, we're gonna run three
Speaker 1: shows a night. You know, understanding, stay two shows a
Speaker 1: day in instead of you instead of two, we're gonna
Speaker 1: do three shows. Right. So, uh So, if you've been
Speaker 1: out the mix in a while and the analytics are
Speaker 1: not there, that they're going they're going about current analytics
Speaker 1: and they're going, like, you know what, instead of doing
Speaker 1: it like that. We're gonna do it like this, similar
Speaker 1: to what happened with Monique, right. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: analytics sometimes can be uh controlled to on that. Well,
Speaker 1: I only get in the money moga on deal. I
Speaker 1: I don't have that deal because I have relationships where
Speaker 1: it is good. It's just coming to what what makes sense.
Speaker 1: So it's always it's always uh, I can work with anybody, anybody,
Speaker 1: I have no problem, but it has to make sense
Speaker 1: for everybody. So we gotta we gotta path. You can't
Speaker 1: say let me get did much of the path and
Speaker 1: then just say here, peaceful you. We had to get
Speaker 1: this past, say okay, well let's see how we want
Speaker 1: invide up. I won't everybody eat, but I also want too.
Speaker 1: So sometimes data analytics all that, Oh that's going to play.
Speaker 1: But sometimes those sometimes those are not the true Because
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm in the I always say, sometimes you
Speaker 1: a man, they're not on the road with you, so
Speaker 1: they don't see the people, see they're actual you. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the people they don't see the see the crowd. But
Speaker 1: if I'm in Houston, I've been there with people, are
Speaker 1: we can get the vibe, been around and see it
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm feeling the vibe of the city.
Speaker 1: So it's always I'm on the ground a little a
Speaker 1: little bit different. So I can I can go back
Speaker 1: and say, well, this is what's really happening. I know
Speaker 1: you got this these in front of you, but I
Speaker 1: was there these what this is what really happened. So
Speaker 1: you can do you can do sometimes with you can
Speaker 1: you can create a narrative, as they say, So sometimes
Speaker 1: a narrative get created on you. But you're like that
Speaker 1: ain't that ain't that ain't the truth. So it's like
Speaker 1: you were saying, trying the big lie. So sometimes in
Speaker 1: the entertainment there's a big lie that goes on and
Speaker 1: you're like, that ain't the truth. So you the you
Speaker 1: have to fight for your truth. You said you grew
Speaker 1: up in poverty and right uh uh high school because
Speaker 1: viller Ica is only like forty minutes away from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but that's when you're in the country. That's
Speaker 1: that's far Atlanta is, that's that's the city. And you
Speaker 1: got so you come from a city with fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: population and you move on to Atlanta. That's got teammates
Speaker 1: always yeah, it's uh yeah, So I've been in a
Speaker 1: different locale location, so so yeah, but I still keep
Speaker 1: that small time mentality. It's still about family relationship, uh,
Speaker 1: bunding experiences and things like that. So I still I
Speaker 1: still understand those principles that go into how far I
Speaker 1: can go and I'm always gonna have support. How how
Speaker 1: was that support system when you were growing up? Like
Speaker 1: what kind of household did you grow up in? Uh? Uh,
Speaker 1: single parents, but uh has step dad, but you know,
Speaker 1: if some abuse go home, So it was it was,
Speaker 1: it was we had something. We had some domestic violence
Speaker 1: issues and Staddy we did one two times, but he
Speaker 1: met with two brothers, me and my sister. My mama
Speaker 1: had folk ki is you know? And where are you
Speaker 1: in that line? Third, I'm the last son. Then my sisters.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we were eight years apart though, so so
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so you know, and uh so we we
Speaker 1: moved her Like I went to three elementary schools, so
Speaker 1: we moved a lot. But because my mama was dealing
Speaker 1: with one to three, I went to three too. I
Speaker 1: went to four. See, and man, we moved. So so
Speaker 1: sometimes you realize, oh, making friends because you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how long I'm gonna be here. So those
Speaker 1: things catching the duthood too. So I always found myself
Speaker 1: leaving you can kind of school. Yeah, I went to
Speaker 1: one middle school and one yeah, but the element school.
Speaker 1: I moved around a lot of yeah yeah so but
Speaker 1: but I realized that with my mama moving from these
Speaker 1: uh away from these abusive men. So so we uh
Speaker 1: so I do advocate for uh moms and single moms
Speaker 1: and and and uh you know, raising raising your kids
Speaker 1: the best way you know, you know, and we we
Speaker 1: gotta have the fathers in the house. So but sometimes
Speaker 1: as a as a black man, we we we have
Speaker 1: not learned to love our sisters uh properly, and that
Speaker 1: that takes that takes time to progressive. Well, I think
Speaker 1: it's important that just to say, as as men, we
Speaker 1: haven't learned to love women properly, because you know, black
Speaker 1: men do not have uh does not have uh you know,
Speaker 1: lack of love on lock. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: we don't we we're not we don't have a corner.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, we don't have we don't
Speaker 1: have the market corner. You can look at these other
Speaker 1: other uh, these other groups and stuff, and you see
Speaker 1: just as much as domestic violence going on in their groups.
Speaker 1: Snap snap yeah yeah yeah, everdly somebody else don't know
Speaker 1: how ye just go. We won't put a put a
Speaker 1: race on the thing. It starts with with loving yourself
Speaker 1: how I love you, and then you you'll be able
Speaker 1: to branch off and love other people. That's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know that's because that that's what That's what
Speaker 1: happened with me. Man. I when I, once I learned
Speaker 1: to love myself, I actually started making sure that my
Speaker 1: my actions were indicative of the outcome that I wanted.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know, yeah, I mean I wanted.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, once I learned, I stopped bullying
Speaker 1: people time because you just you got sad, you got both.
Speaker 1: I remember I used to call Willie on the phone.
Speaker 1: I just called Willie. I say, Willie, what what's something?
Speaker 1: When your head it was young, the way you want
Speaker 1: me Tommy ready to go to the club and say
Speaker 1: what you going to the club for? Say so I
Speaker 1: can fight? So here was that dude that turned the
Speaker 1: club back? I'm just saying that I was, but I
Speaker 1: was over that by that by that time, I want
Speaker 1: to see, I got to a point to where where
Speaker 1: I just realized that man like life is too short
Speaker 1: for all of that. Man like people. Life is short,
Speaker 1: and it can be shorter if you if you're a bully,
Speaker 1: you know, because somebody will get you. You know that
Speaker 1: come into place of love. If you're coming to place
Speaker 1: I'll come in in the rod his peace. I gotta,
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta. I was saying, I gotta bring
Speaker 1: my peace. I can't coming to your stone if you
Speaker 1: bring the storm. But sometimes people want to braining getting
Speaker 1: but the storm. And I learned it's JUSI a uh
Speaker 1: something that triggers that. So uh, if you if you heard,
Speaker 1: like brand said, if you're heard in in somebody, you
Speaker 1: you might mean sometimes we don't have a bird bit
Speaker 1: of the words to put what what that? What that is?
Speaker 1: Like I just told you when the three element school
Speaker 1: do you start kind of what damn? I element school too?
Speaker 1: So that that does have an effect on who you are.
Speaker 1: And if you don't deal with those things alone the way,
Speaker 1: So you gotta deal with your relationship with your brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters and why that happened like that? How was
Speaker 1: your like he was left me? How you so my
Speaker 1: family big overall family, But uh, mostly immediate families with
Speaker 1: stay we we we used to have family union, but
Speaker 1: they were sporadic. They didn't happen every year. So that
Speaker 1: that hasn't the fact with where other people were like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all have family you get teachers there, you want teachers
Speaker 1: there year. You might get a teacher every two year.
Speaker 1: So it's just how your famish. Yeah, so's it's high.
Speaker 1: It's high set up. But those things has an effect
Speaker 1: as you get becoming adults. I was a sports play boys,
Speaker 1: but I remember my mom didn't come to the game,
Speaker 1: like we felt she should come to the game. The
Speaker 1: same problem. I had the same problem. Yeah, so let
Speaker 1: my way I got Yeah, she said I was that work,
Speaker 1: but like you know, you look at me like what
Speaker 1: I scold this, I need you to. I ran tout down,
Speaker 1: I'll be at the next one. But that oh yeah
Speaker 1: I'm not. Yeah yeah, I got laughed. That little point
Speaker 1: guard you know had Yeah, it's a difference that now
Speaker 1: I had a football was breaking on dudes when you
Speaker 1: was scoring point I was no. I just hey, I
Speaker 1: had my own yeah little thing, but now I wanted
Speaker 1: to try. I was. I was more fundamentally, but I
Speaker 1: always had a little flair. Look look I'm on no,
Speaker 1: look you're on the court. I'm okay, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I get over here. So you know here fundamental, so fundamental.
Speaker 1: So you learned sometimes you can be too flashy, you
Speaker 1: go down yea. Yeah. Just make the simple chest paths
Speaker 1: or the simple bound path. Just catch it with both heads, sir.
Speaker 1: So those things. Man. You know, I was just thinking
Speaker 1: about that domestic violence issue and when Brad said, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta love yourself first. It all, it all starts
Speaker 1: with loving yourself first, and then you you have an
Speaker 1: idea of how to love others. And I think when
Speaker 1: you get into a relationship with a woman, I think
Speaker 1: it's important that you're not just love that woman, but
Speaker 1: you love her family. Yes, and this, this is, this
Speaker 1: is this goes beyond what many people today think because
Speaker 1: a lot of times today people don't they think they
Speaker 1: got this. It's us against the world, it's it's me
Speaker 1: and you were budding Clyde and I don't like your
Speaker 1: mama and I don't you don't like my dad and
Speaker 1: you don't like that's a problem, that's very Those type
Speaker 1: of relationships are problematic. Uh, you show me a family
Speaker 1: you show me a dude and a girl that's in
Speaker 1: a relationship where the chick don't like his parents or
Speaker 1: in family, and he don't like her family. They it's
Speaker 1: always it's toxic. It's very toxic. And when you when
Speaker 1: you learn to love a woman's family, uh, you are
Speaker 1: least likely even when you are, you know, being emotional
Speaker 1: or whatever, you're least likely to harm that woman in
Speaker 1: any kind of way because it ain't about you being
Speaker 1: afraid of her family. Now because some dudes like I
Speaker 1: ain't scared of your family. Boom boom boom. You know
Speaker 1: what it's like. No, I love a family. I don't
Speaker 1: want to calls harm to them, even though but what
Speaker 1: you did, I don't want to hurt her. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do this to her because I don't want to
Speaker 1: hurt her mother. I don't want to hurt her father.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt her sister. I don't want
Speaker 1: to her a brother. You see, and and and so
Speaker 1: so to. For me, there's no way that I would
Speaker 1: be in a relationship with a woman if I if
Speaker 1: I can't see myself love it on a family. Well,
Speaker 1: I call that adding value. So if I'm not adding
Speaker 1: value to your life. I'm subtracted from you, so please
Speaker 1: leave me because I'm not no good for you. So
Speaker 1: if I go to the attitude, I'm coming in and
Speaker 1: add value to your life, your brother, your sister, and
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you don't receive it, and that's
Speaker 1: on you. But I'm here to add value. But sometimes woman, man,
Speaker 1: you're not ready to receive that. Let me go back
Speaker 1: to plan to see you. If it don't work out,
Speaker 1: I planned to see I came in love. I came
Speaker 1: to make this happen. Love your family, whatever. Sometimes that
Speaker 1: just you're not the person for them for this season,
Speaker 1: a reason or whatever it is. You gotta move up.
Speaker 1: But if, if, if you're the right person that value
Speaker 1: you add, they're gonna be so you we're we're pouring
Speaker 1: into each other time you're pouring me. Right now, he
Speaker 1: pointed me, I'm poor. Were pouring into each other. Now,
Speaker 1: if if it's toxic as pausing, I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: use that. But if it's something in love and good
Speaker 1: and they're gonna help to grow, they will. We'll see
Speaker 1: the results of that. So you you always see the
Speaker 1: results of what you what you pull into your children,
Speaker 1: your family all you see the results. He's like, if
Speaker 1: you're the problem, you had to remove yourself. But sometimes
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't have those mechanisms, so we lash out.
Speaker 1: We don't have those COVID up. So we go to
Speaker 1: the bottle, We smoke a little bitter, we probably a
Speaker 1: little bit. And then now you're on another road. Now
Speaker 1: because now you ain't. Now you ain't even you don't
Speaker 1: even send them who you need to be to deal
Speaker 1: with whatever it is that's in front of you. Because
Speaker 1: I've seen that with my step that he go to
Speaker 1: that ere J, then he turned into a whole another
Speaker 1: person when you get on the n J. But when
Speaker 1: he on the night he's driving white walls. What do
Speaker 1: you think that made him become an alcoholic? Wait? Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: what if he didn't say it was an alcohol If
Speaker 1: if he went to that J and he went to
Speaker 1: that e n J sound like you said he was
Speaker 1: saying he went to that say, I say people turn
Speaker 1: into different people when something when at all. Sometimes that
Speaker 1: all would take you to another place. And then you
Speaker 1: know what he said, you might I can't agree with
Speaker 1: if you if you use, if you use any mind
Speaker 1: mind altering substance, and you can't control yourself. Your ass
Speaker 1: is an attic. It's something that I thank your mother
Speaker 1: just overdid it. So he overdid it, and how many
Speaker 1: how many times did he overdo it? I mean something,
Speaker 1: he just got fun up. Now. Yeah, he would drink
Speaker 1: and then he would get Well, you ain't never just
Speaker 1: said it's a joke. He never just said my stepdad.
Speaker 1: You ain't never just saiding to creer with man, and
Speaker 1: you'd be like, ain't when we ain't got ship to do,
Speaker 1: let's just go get sucked up. Yeah, man, say that.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I said what you lose control
Speaker 1: of yourself. No, it's not easy for me. Well ship, Well,
Speaker 1: you ain't never got drunk. I ain't sun motherfuck. I
Speaker 1: ain't never did that. It's not a habit broke. It's
Speaker 1: not even get it want. It's not it's not a hap.
Speaker 1: It's not a habit for me getting it getting drunk
Speaker 1: and going to whoop the mask. It's not a hand.
Speaker 1: It's never been sound man or some ship. But it's
Speaker 1: never been having that. I was not drunk. You're like
Speaker 1: an old married couple. I was not drunk. I was drunk.
Speaker 1: Now you do what constituted what in your mind? What
Speaker 1: constituted me being drunk? That motherfucking bottle empty in the
Speaker 1: dressing room constituted that. So so, if you drink so you,
Speaker 1: so you, if you drank a bottle, you drunk. That's
Speaker 1: what you're saying. If you drink a bottle of beer,
Speaker 1: you're drunk. I'm not gonna drink a little beer. You
Speaker 1: ain't gonna drinking or not. But you was drinking the
Speaker 1: ship out of the old English Just back, old english man,
Speaker 1: just down and man, yeah small look, yeah, I get it. Though,
Speaker 1: let me say again, this guy is incorrigible by say, man,
Speaker 1: how is it? How do you use your comedy uh?
Speaker 1: I guess uh expressions to translate into the to the
Speaker 1: film world. You know, like does it help at all?
Speaker 1: Just your stand up your stand up routines? You know,
Speaker 1: you think, like, let's go back to I'm a classic
Speaker 1: stand up so you you you you you think that's

Speaker 1: what this is what's on my mind right now. This. Yeah,

Speaker 1: like I believe so much in myself until I'm willing
Speaker 1: to go to every spot in this country on a

Speaker 1: in the seat. You ever feel like that? I do that,
Speaker 1: You do that, That's how you do it? Okay? Cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just running behind with you. Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1: you know, why would anybody else bet on you if
Speaker 1: you won't If you won't bet on yourself. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: always believe that. And then that, but you run into
Speaker 1: you run into issues with I just thought Jay Leno
Speaker 1: the other day and uh damn Jay Leno. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you said talk show and then that popped in
Speaker 1: my head. So I was at a club and he
Speaker 1: was going up and then he said he was telling
Speaker 1: his experiend by getting the Tonight show. And he said
Speaker 1: he said was when Johnny Carson left, it was eight
Speaker 1: of them and going up doing guests, whole spots. He said,
Speaker 1: everybody else was making twenty five thousand dollars when they guess,
Speaker 1: so he was making scale five hundred and one dollars.
Speaker 1: But but the people, all the people were represent by
Speaker 1: one agency, one management come, I won't say the name.
Speaker 1: And then they came to him said well, you need
Speaker 1: to get on board because everybody else making this and
Speaker 1: you're messing up, saying you need to be making this too.
Speaker 1: He said, no, I'm cool with a fighting one. So
Speaker 1: long story short, he said, got down to picking the
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the next over and they said, well
Speaker 1: we could save money, and this is my money. We
Speaker 1: picked this guy he said that ended up leaving the
Speaker 1: thirty million. Now, yeah, that's a beautiful story. So he
Speaker 1: was just saying, I always played the play the long play.
Speaker 1: You just tell me play long. It'll be fine. Play
Speaker 1: back in a lot of people would would today especially
Speaker 1: would pass that deal up because they already think that
Speaker 1: everybody rich already. I don't know how everybody got rich
Speaker 1: about rich? I did everybody get rich? Like? Did I
Speaker 1: miss the rich? Yeah? Like every every time I soaund
Speaker 1: like people talk on money now they think yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: then some money doesn't even talk to the right. So
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a different generated. But you
Speaker 1: stand that's there that generation. My daughter said that, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's yeah, y'all. So when you know you're getting
Speaker 1: grown like that don't make sense. No, I'm I'm funking.
Speaker 1: People put money in crown you all your back. They
Speaker 1: didn't just put the money out. That voice reloaded podcast
Speaker 1: will be right back after the Do you think it's
Speaker 1: fair that you've been categorized as a hood comedian. I've
Speaker 1: never been categorizing hood commedie. Okay, you never never. I'm
Speaker 1: saying this this, This is what I mean. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about in your appearance, the appearance. See, you got the cap,
Speaker 1: you got hold on, hold on, you got the cap,
Speaker 1: You got the sun classes on in this dark as room,
Speaker 1: you know, and you got the hood vernacular. Man, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I personally don't see nothing wrong with when I say.
Speaker 1: When I say a hood comedian, I ain't saying that
Speaker 1: you only represent the hood or you can only appeal
Speaker 1: to the hood. I'm talking about as far as your swag.
Speaker 1: You got a hood comedian type swag. Yeah, with with
Speaker 1: with that, with that cap, those lokes, Well that's the
Speaker 1: way this go branding. And I always have war cap.

Speaker 1: about it's the lokes. It's the loakes more than anything
Speaker 1: but the loakes, the dog lokes and the and the
Speaker 1: and the and and the cap. But this is my
Speaker 1: every day walk around. So but when I get on stage,
Speaker 1: I get I get clean, and but I still have
Speaker 1: the cap because that's that's like lines in here blanket
Speaker 1: that my see I see for me, listen what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not offended. I like No, I like
Speaker 1: it what I like it because it's it's a different lane,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I feel I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like people would gravitate towards that lane more than
Speaker 1: a lot of other lanes because a lot of guys
Speaker 1: are trying to assimilate. They're trying to they're trying to
Speaker 1: cater to all these different audiences and ship and I
Speaker 1: just feel like, when you get in your lane and
Speaker 1: just do your thing, if you're talented, people gonna funk
Speaker 1: with you. These other people you ain't gotta cross over,
Speaker 1: they're gonna cross over to you that I uh, I labeled.

Speaker 1: eat to feel good, but actually eat that depending on
Speaker 1: what we eat, and that ain't always gonna make a
Speaker 1: feel good. That's gonna make her feel worse. And then
Speaker 1: we get slugged, and then we get tired, then we
Speaker 1: get sick. Then it is sick. It's the food Drug Administration.

Speaker 1: they're gonna lame it down. So I can't have the
Speaker 1: energy that I'm gonna need to coom to what that.
Speaker 1: So it's disciplines. So I just look at everything. It's
Speaker 1: it's disciplines. And once you can discipline yourself, therefore you
Speaker 1: can just know other and others say, oh, okay, that's
Speaker 1: what that's what I should be doing. Yeah you ever

Speaker 1: I was talking about the Supergo. Now I see the stuff,
Speaker 1: but I always eat a lot of positive but uh
Speaker 1: uh no, I started the The trigger was up death
Speaker 1: Cham when I seen comedians that looked like me from
Speaker 1: Well and Franz Kryt Tug and Monty Lawns and Burning
Speaker 1: mag and all. And I always knew I uh like,
Speaker 1: I used to write a little different funny and stuff
Speaker 1: down and and uh, I didn't know what that was.
Speaker 1: And I say funny stuff and they were like, well,
Speaker 1: you need be a comedian. It was a comedian, I don't.
Speaker 1: I knew Bill cott Ridge proud of that. But I
Speaker 1: know the outlet to and I remember I go back
Speaker 1: to me date myself a little bit, to the Yellow Pages,
Speaker 1: and they used to throw the Yellow Pages on your
Speaker 1: poech and we had the Yellow Pages. And I went
Speaker 1: through the Yellow Pages and I've seen Uptown Comedy Club
Speaker 1: in Buckhead in Atlanta, and uh, I went uh and
Speaker 1: signed up for open mic and uh that was the
Speaker 1: earthquake was hosted, and that was that was starting other
Speaker 1: than ninety five. But before you did that, well, there
Speaker 1: are people in the neighborhood or in your house saying, man,
Speaker 1: you should be in comedy. You're like a comedian, but
Speaker 1: they didn't know. They didn't know really what that was either.
Speaker 1: But you do in the neighborhood or at home, cracking
Speaker 1: jokes all the time and ranking on people. I was.
Speaker 1: I always had a a smart mouth. Smart mouth, but
Speaker 1: really that just means you're you're conscious. But I didn't
Speaker 1: know what it was. So smart, that boy smart. My
Speaker 1: mom was that smart. That smart mouth, So really you
Speaker 1: have it because I always had something to say. You're
Speaker 1: gonna say something right a wrong, in different I'm gonna

Speaker 1: because I was uh too young to be in the
Speaker 1: club and they say they elude, they lookal license. Then

Speaker 1: but some people don't. Don't don't believe that you got
Speaker 1: people on this side shots and people do no shots,
Speaker 1: So that that whole thing if I cannot get that
Speaker 1: ship over again in life, I take a shot of year.
Speaker 1: Want to take that? Yeah, but you take a shot
Speaker 1: a day. Yeah. If I answer two shots today, all

Speaker 1: in you. Holistic, you wouldn't have gotten the show. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I got the shot called Abraham, told him get a
Speaker 1: shot in the name Abraham. So yeah, I was getting
Speaker 1: the shot to Abraham. Came two times. I said, ain't
Speaker 1: number got right there? So I got go and get
Speaker 1: a shot because I'm out in these I'm out in
Speaker 1: the people people be and I believe I don't want
Speaker 1: people talking clothes no more. I believe that should have
Speaker 1: been in a thing. Ask and six. I like the mask, man,
Speaker 1: I like mask. I think it's a mask. Mandate is
Speaker 1: great for me. I think that's great because when you
Speaker 1: look at the mask thing. Uh, this was like the
Speaker 1: first this this flu season was the first time that
Speaker 1: you could actually go to a drug store and see
Speaker 1: them fully stopped. All of the medicines, the cold remedies
Speaker 1: and stuff was fully stocked, which tells you that wasn't
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people that was having codes and
Speaker 1: experiencing flu symptoms. But I always say the corona replaced
Speaker 1: the flu. Dr Willie, leave it up to Dr Willie.
Speaker 1: I'm done, man, I'm finished. The doctor. I said, the
Speaker 1: flu wasn't selling. I'm they used to, so they had
Speaker 1: to come up with a new thing. And then the
Speaker 1: Corona is the new thing. That ain't know, that ship
Speaker 1: as old as hell, you say, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: but they went just know when when when when cousin over? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah they yeah, And then then you got you got
Speaker 1: enough screening. Then they saying that. But it's about just
Speaker 1: putting your mask back on. They know society is open,
Speaker 1: but they want you to. But tex in Florida, you know,
Speaker 1: all the Republican states. Yeah, y'all don't you don't have
Speaker 1: a mask? Man? Yeah, yeah, man, yeah, I've been so
Speaker 1: like no so, but it's it's just that's a that's
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a it's just talk about nothing
Speaker 1: but the money. It's your body. But that they're gonna
Speaker 1: keep trying to pump this and they ain't got their
Speaker 1: number yet of how many people they need to get
Speaker 1: this shot. So that's why it's still it's still sales
Speaker 1: and capitalism and we need the many people to get
Speaker 1: this shot for we can move on to the neck thing.
Speaker 1: So it's still it's still that. That's why they all Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's fair, you know America, we were self fair. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's your next move? Man? Like as far us like,
Speaker 1: I know you can't. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not. I'm
