71
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,440

73
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: just be everywhere with them.

74
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: Man.

75
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 5: But at one point in time, you were heavier, you

76
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: lost the weight, and then you you rebound it and got.

77
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: It back some somehow it came back. I don't know

78
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: way it came from. So so why did you who

79
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: the wait to start with just just doing See? Can

80
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: I do it? See if you do? And I'm gonna

81
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: do it again, I'm gonna do it again. I'm doing

82
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: it now, man, I am for real. I just got

83
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: to cut out, you know, the snickers and and the

84
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: hershes with almonds.

85
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: But other than that.

86
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: But I'm not a.

87
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: Junk eater that much. I love vegetables.

88
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: I tried vegan. It didn't work, man, it's so much

89
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: sugar and vegan. You be eating that vegan food. Either

90
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: they eat chicken that it tastes like chicken.

91
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: No, it don't.

92
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: It do not taste like chicken. It tastes like some

93
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 2: fruit with some sugar on it, you know what I'm saying.

94
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: And you done Friday and try to make it look

95
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: like chicken. So you just got to do the right thing,

96
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: you know, eat the vegetables. You gotta eat your salads,

97
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: and then you gotta be careful with salad dressings because

98
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: most salad dressings is full of sugar. You gotta use

99
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: the low calorie. I had to learn all that, you know,

100
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: because the only thing black people is French dressing. That's all.

101
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: We had our French.

102
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: We didn't know that about no blue cheese, that French dress,

103
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: and it got more sugar. It's like ketchup. They got

104
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: more sugar in anything. So you have to learn these

105
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: things as you go along on how the most important

106
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: thing going to the doctor, and then the doctor will

107
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: educate you.

108
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Look, we need to cut this act right because I go.

109
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't like to go, but I go.

110
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: I do. I don't like to go, but I go.

111
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: So you go to the doctor and the doctor says, Bruce,

112
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you're love to have your side.

113
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: We need you to lose fifty We need you to

425
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360

430
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: when I went on stage that first time, I knew

431
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,920

Speaker 2: if you ever see me waving, I'm waving at you, right.

440
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: But you can't let people dictate your life. You can't.

441
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,680

00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: That was the hot man?

456
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: I mean? And I thought about it all night, you know,

00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: when you get that first laugh, And I got home like,

458

463
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: what people laugh at in the hardest. So I know

464
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: how to go with the truck and take my voice

465
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: upright right right, and.

466
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I look at and listen to it. And so I

467
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: used to let this lady at a convenience to listen to.

468
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: Her name was Carol.

469
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: She's up north. She said you're funny, and she was

470
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: a white lady and she said you're very funny. And

471
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: she said, I like the joke about such ship, but

472
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: do this. Do that. She was helping me, and every

473
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: time I go down on stage every week. Everybody said, man,

474
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: what you got a joke machine at home? I said, no, man,

475
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: I'm just reviewing everything I do to try to make

476
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: it better, right and better, you know, And it's worked out, man,

477
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: And things just started happening. Things just started happening, man,

478
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: and it's been really good for me.

479
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: So cadence is to set off the cadence in which

480
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 5: you get ready to deliver. You raise your voice, melt,

481
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 5: and then you fail, kill them and see people got

482
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 5: down on stage. You deliver in your character, and it's

483
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 5: just how you deliver a joke.

484
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 2: I can tell a joke right here, and I can say, like, man,

485
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: you need your ass kick people are having I said,

486
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: but if you get you need your ass get.

487
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: So if I put that emphasis on it, people, oh

00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: learn that, you got to be on stage. You got

492
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,800

590
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: you're from the South.

591
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking.

592
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of racism, and racism is stupid, you know.

593
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: I remember I went to buy a bus one time.

594
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: Look at the bus. My white guys, well, you know,

595
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: I don't have the key to the bus. I said,

596
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: what your calls helm you this is your lot. He

597
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: did not want to show it to it, you know

598
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But right then I knew, you know,

599
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: we need to go on the exit and go some one.

600
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue with this dude because he's stupid.

601
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Racism is nothing that's in you.

602
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: It's something that's taught to you. You and it's nothing

603
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: like when I was in restaurant years ago, just real quick,

604
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: I had a manager named Jared Fowler. He had had

605
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: like the old Ridge balls, Jeorde ash members on the jacket,

606
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: cowboy boots. You know that he had a little son,

607
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: him and my son was the same age. And he

608
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: was a white guy. And his son and my son

609
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: got along so well, right, and they didn't see color.

610
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: They saw two friends. So his son get home one

611
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: night and say, Daddy, can ask you something. He said, Antoine,

612
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: Antoine is my son. He says, that my cousin. Because

613
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: he didn't know, right, but he knew they got along.

614
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: He said, No, that's not your cousin, that your soul brother.

615
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

616
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: And because we need to Twitt quit teaching our kids

617
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: this racism, because when they grow up, they learn the truth, right,

618
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. That's why you can get

619
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: a white ben and a black baby right now. Put

625
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: So people are people, you just got people got to

626
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: understand it's bad and good in every race of people.

627
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 5: So where are you on them? Because a lot there

628
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 5: have been a lot about jokes stealing. Oh my god,

629
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 5: I see it all the time.

630
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: If I if somebody steal someone's joke and I see them,

631
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 2: I know who they got it from. That's that's how

632
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: long I've been in the business. That's how I Sometimes

633
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: I have to remind comedians of their jokes. They ain't

634
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: did it a long time, like Arnie's Jay Funny jump Around.

635
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: I said, you don't do that joke by saying he said, man,

636
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: I forgot about that joke like that. I said, start

637
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: back doing it. It's funny, right, you know.

638
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.

639
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: Because he used to do a joke about somebody smelling

640
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: real bad, right you know, and like, damn, what the

641
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: fuck you didn't watch your hand, you know what I'm saying.

642
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: And then he saw and uh, he went and did it.

643
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: He did all racist people. He did like a red nag,

644
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: then he did a Spanish dude. Then he did an

645
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: African dude, and he said, it's it you, but it's

646
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: just me, you know, because right he didn't know what

647
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: you wanted him to stay and he brought that back.

648
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: And it's funny because a lot of comedians they get

649
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: they get tired of the joke, but everybody hadn't sold

650
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 2: the joke, right, you know what I mean, So they

651
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: just need to keep doing it.

652
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 5: And what about now, though, Bruce, you used to tell

653
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 5: a joke and you could tell that joke down there

654
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 5: for a year, yes, because there was no social media,

655
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 5: and they only saw you when you came to that town.

656
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 5: So now with social media, you basically gotta puitch flip

657
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 5: that joke weekly because everybody is take they take your

658
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: said when you come there, and the internet is gonna

659
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 5: pick up everything.

660
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: So you know that joke last week, get a new joke,

661
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: and it's crazy.

662
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: It could be that one person Ye just say I

663
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: heard that before and it's not the same joke, It's

664
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: just something that was similar to it, right, and they

665
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, he did say that before. They just

666
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: jump on the ran way, right. But the thing with

667
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: social medias with these new comedians, what I want to

668
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: encourage them to do. I know you funny on the

669
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: internet and everything, but have more than you see on

670
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: social media. Have more than that five minutes, right, because

671
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: when people come out and see you, they want to

672
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: see thirty five forty minutes, and a lot of comedians

673
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: they can do thirty five to forty minutes, But are

674
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: you funny that whole entire time? Right?

675
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.

676
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: So a lot of them have got on them, like

677
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: like Country Wayne, he started out and he's doing very well, right,

678
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: and this show is very good, and I'm proud of it.

679
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: But a lot of them just got that ten minutes right.

680
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: And that's that when you come out and seeing you like,

681
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: is it on social media?

682
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: Way a minute?

683
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: What?

684
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: But we spend money for.

685
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 2: This, right, you know, so we just got to keep creating.

686
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: You know, your dude is watching new I knew. I know, comedian,

687
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: he'll read the paper before you do the show. Here,

688
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: read the paper and just do everything. He just reading

689
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: paper every time. That's how great he was, you know.

690
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: And I worked with some of the greats, with the

691
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: Ray Moore, you know, and a lot of young people

692
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: don't know abody that you know, Bernie Mackett, Bernie oh

693
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: my god. Ronaldo Ray, who was my mentor on BT Comedy,

694
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: help me do a lot.

695
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: You know.

696
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: I do a joke. Ronaldo said, look when you go

697
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: ahead there, he said, turn your body to the right

698
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: a little bit. He said, look that way and tell

699
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: the joke. And I swear it worked every time, every time.

700
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: That's how great he was. And so it's good to

701
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: experience his experience. Ronaldo Ray and John Willerspoon grabbed me

702
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: up under their wing and he took me because they

703
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: saw something in me. And that's what I do I

704
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: you know, I get comedians and keep him encouraged. Because

705
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: we people got to understand, especially to parents. You all

706
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: have got to saying certain things to your kids because

707
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: you you're questioning their dreams. You know, you qustion that spirit.

708
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: Like said, it's gonna be a doctor, but it's gonna

709
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: be a lawyer. I knew I wasn't gonna be no doctor.

710

00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: But I knew that.

715
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: But quit telling these kids what they can't do.

716
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 5: That's what they want you to be. You know, somebody

780
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: all the way around the stage, and then it was

781
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: the tables and stuff. But she kept talking out loud, so.

782
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: You can hear a while you stay.

788
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: I called her a bitch, and I didn't because I

797
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: kind of gave my cruel seat.

798
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: I said, get out of here because she just kept

799
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: talking and I had to just get out of that.

800
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: But like I apologized to I said, I'm gonna give

Speaker 2: Will Smith would have never ran up on trick Daddy

815
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: like that.

816
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: If trick Daddy was saying the same thing, said the same,

817
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: he didn't. He hesitated.

818
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: So you you don't run up on no food trick

819
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: Daddy on the chair. He could have ran up on

00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: me or you like that now.

821
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,880

825
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: he kept it professional, right, But I bet something in

826
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: his mind was like you lost your in mind, right,

827
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And Will, when Will slapped it,

828
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: he went across. He didn't go like it was from

829
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: the shoulders all the way to the floor.

830
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

831
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,760

00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: had been a fighting that I'm gonna tell you how

833
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: to put him in a to put him in a sleephole.

834
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: And if I got that second win, he'd went out.

835
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: You can't do a man like They could have handled

836
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: that in a better way, I believe it. And actually

837
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: I thought Will was coming up to joke with him

838
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: the way it looked. It looked like he was gonna

839
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: come up with joke with him, because and then because

840
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: Chris said, here come.

00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Richard like that.

842
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he thought he was joking, right, and we'll

00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: po copt him, right, you know what I'm saying. And

844
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: he apologized later. But and I never met Will, don't

845
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: get me wrong. And only thing I've heard about Will

846
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: was great things. I've heard great things about it. But

847
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: when I saw that, whooo, even the white people are like,

848
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: oh no, we don't do that at the Oska. You

849
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And you lost a lot of

850
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: money behind it. Of course he lost a lot of

851
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: right behind it. But I had to come back that

852
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: suit player, you know, if I had took seat on.

853
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: So you don't worry about it. So you don't worry

854
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 5: about it anymore, because, like I said, you do chop

855
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: it up with the crowd. You would get on what

856
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 5: people wearing, what their hair looked like, what the shoes

857
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 5: looked like. So you don't worry about that. No, not

858
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 5: at all, not at all bad. See there's comic view.

859
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 5: Yeah you know I was the host coming year.

860
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: But see what is that way you say? That's what

861
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: really put.

862
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: Bruce Bruce into the statis comic grew broke the ice

863
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: for me. And then the thing was, I was I

864
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: supposed to got it years before. See I say this

865
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: all the time. Everything is done in divine order. I

866
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: was supposed to did it like seven years before. I

867
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: didn't get it. I was upset about it, but I say,

868
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna keep it moving. The year

869
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: that I got it was the best year. It was

870
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: the best ratings. I made more money than anybody on

871
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: that show. They gave me money for my clothes to

872
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: be made, which they have never did right, And it

873
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: was the best year. And then Ronaldo Ray was was

874
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: like the best coach I ever had in my life too,

875
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: to guide me and do a lot of things.

876
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: And it broke the ice.

877
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: And I know for after I did that, for the

878
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: next ten years, I was doing nothing but sellouts from

879
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: Comic View. And then the next year they came back

880
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: with the Colliente and I was the party guard in

881
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: New Orleans and with Colliente and it wasn't going so well,

882
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: and they called me back to do it again. And

883
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: I did that, and I say, where's Renaldo Ray And

884
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: they say, you want him? I said yes, And the

885
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: next day he was getting out the car he said,

886
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: I appreciate you bringing me back. And it did well,

887
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: and then I did BT coming to the stage when

888
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 2: I hosted that when the new comedian was being introduced

889
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: and I host that show. They did well, so bt was.

890
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: I got to give them thumbs up even for my career,

891
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: even if they never do nothing with me ever. Again,

892
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: I give them my aid because they put me on

893
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: the mapp.

894
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 5: Do you think something like that would would rate again?

895
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 5: Could they do something like a deaf comedy jam with

896
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 5: comic view? Absolutely absolutely, and I think it'll work too.

897
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: I think of the word. But the comedians gonna have

898
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: to bring their a game, right.

899
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: They can't. They can't do all this crazy. See, comedians

900
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: do a lot of things now that you have to see.

901
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: Back in the day when we was coming up, we listened, right.

902
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: We used to listen to che We listened to Bill Colls.

903
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: We listened to Red Fox Kids and I'm in the hood.

904
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: Kids thought I was crazy because I used to listen

905
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: to Milton Borough because I Milton was quick, he was witty,

906
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: and he'll sit there like he'll just laugh and laugh

907
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: and on the road store. Then when it's time for

908
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: him the roads, right, he will bring the noise. Is it?

909
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: Now?

910
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: You look at a lot of comedians now, a lot

911
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: of they're are skit based. Yeah, yeah, you the old comedian.

912
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: You guys don't really do skits now, you just you

913
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: just you just bring it.

914
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: From from the top.

915
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna make it funny, man, just like I do

916
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: a joke about when they give away food at them

917
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: all on two pic. Yeah, right, and I keep walking

918
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: past the lady. You know I did it, walk past

919
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: about twelve times. She said him.

920
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: You been here as the lady.

921
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: Shut up? The food is free, right, you know, you

922
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: giving the food the wave doesn't matter who gets it right.

923
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: But people couldn't relate to that because they know every

924
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: time you and them all they got the little bourbon

925
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: chicken up right. And I just walked by and then

926
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: came to making a different face like I'm somebody else,

927
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: making a different face like somebody else. They said, you've

928
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: been here, don't worry about it. It's fool's free. So

929

1090
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: The way he could tell a story.

1091
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 5: His monologue Saturday Night Live might have been the greatest

1092
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 5: monologue I had ever seen on that show.

1093
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: And they was trying to barcot him like he was.

1094
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: He did some I think he did a joke on

1095
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: the on the was it was it the gay crew

1096
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: of yeah? Yeah?

1097
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, we don't want him on that show.

1098
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: And then he went on that and just ripped it.

1099
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: He did.

1100
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: He lets nothing bother him.

1101
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, if he do, he never let us because they

1102
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 5: can't take anything that's important from it, not at all.

1103
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 5: Because he walked away, like you said, he walked away

1104
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 5: from fifty million. And if he does the show, he's

1105
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 5: gonna sell out in five minutes anyway. So everything that

1106
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 5: you could possibly take, you could take, Hollywood, he don't

1107
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 5: want it.

1108
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: That's right, he had it.

1109
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: He need walked away from him. He walked away from

1110
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: fifty million, but he also had fifty million in the.

1111
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 2: Bank, so he eased to come back. If you got

1112
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: fifty million, you could be like, you know what, fuck this?

1113
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1114
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: And he was just winning, regroup and got itself together, right.

1115
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: But it's just like Lebron James. I met Lebron when

1116
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 2: he was seventeen in high school. But if something is

1117
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: bothering Lebron, you don't know it. He never shows it.

1118
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: He does it. I'm sure at home, Yeah, I'm sure

1119
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: at home his wife see him break down and why

1120
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: why why? But in the public, Lebron don't even he

1121
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 2: don't even phase it. And I'm a Lebron j Ain't fan,

1122
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: die hard me too, die Hard Meal. They gonna talk

1123
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,959
Speaker 2: about him and the fog. He played the whole forty

1124
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: eight minutes and hit forty points. He can't do it

1125
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 2: by himself, right, he he just didn't show up. I

1126
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: think he needs trimmed little bit. If he trimmed thatever

1127
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 2: just a little bit, just a little bit, that he

1128
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: could separate it his eyes open. I hope we don't

1129
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 2: get very back then I won't see this.

1130

Speaker 2: I think so. That's a very good court. I think

00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: so because people think you can't do it, but you
