Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.

30
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 5: I truly believe I've always been one of the most

31
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 5: misunderstood catching the game because I don't walk around, you know,

32
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 5: pulling a Magic Johnson smiling from temple to temple. So

33
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 5: because I got a you know, a straight, a kind

34
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 5: of certain exterior, there's that, and then people see me

35
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 5: in interviews and based off things I say, Apparently truth

36
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 5: is the new hate, you know, Opinionated is the new bitter,

37
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I'm just honest about what

38
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 5: I you know, how I feel about things I speak at,

39
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 5: how I see it, how I feel it, and people

40
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 5: misconstrued that shit for hate, which is ridiculous because I just.

41
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Come from an era where you know, you speak your mind.

42
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: You think you've ever been understood. Was there a point

43
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: where you were and then something happened and people just

44
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: started misunderstanding you or you think it was like that

45
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 3: from the beginning.

46
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: I just think it was like that from the beginning,

47
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, And especially now because of

48
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 5: this social media age we live in where you got

49
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 5: to push it fire everything. Like I said, when you honest,

50
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 5: that just gets misconstrued. And just because I don't necessarily

51
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: go with the grain of the opinion that you like

52
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 5: that's viewed as hate. You know, It's like why I

53
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: got to always flow with the traffic, you know what

54
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: I mean. If I don't feel it, I don't feel it.

55
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: So that makes sense.

56
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: I think that in the fact that you so try

57
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: to state area in New York and New Jersey from

58
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: from the from the beginning, I think that's that's part

59
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: of it too.

60
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Bias as fun. But I admit it. I admit it.

61
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. People go, man, you you're

00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 5: two of the pieces of advice, and, like I said,

161
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: my mouth is my biggest power, my biggest detriment. I

162
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 5: say a lot of shit that I think sometimes turns

163
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: people off. And again, if they don't know me in depth,

164
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 5: they take it for face value and they think, oh,

165
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 5: he's this way. But you know, again, if you took

166
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 5: time to really hang out with me and do some

167
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: self investigation, yeah, there's certain parts that I'm gonna commit to.

168
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 5: But I'm more than that than what you just see

169
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: in an interview. So, you know, the politics for me

170
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: has been trying to figure out how to navigate through

171
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: this mind fuck of what you say and what you

172
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: don't say.

173
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: You know, so you don't hold your tongue. So do

174
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: you ever get to a point where it's like you

175
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: scared of saying things now? Because usually some some of

176
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: the stuff that when we go to your shoes you

177
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: would say off the wall is it was funny, but

178
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: now that that awful?

179
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Well stand up I'm gonna always be that. I'm not

180
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: changing that.

181
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: But in terms of interviews, not that I'm I won't.

182
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 5: I don't like the word scared, but I'm gonna be

183
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: more strategic and how I say what I want to say,

184
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: you know, because there's a way to say everything, and

185
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 5: it's comics. You know, that's the brilliance of what we

186
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: do is to put that make shit smell like roses

187
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: if we choose to do that.

188
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm probably trying to think a little

189
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: bit more.

190
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: Is that because you don't maybe want to make sure

191
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: that you're not canceled and you're not on what I can't.

192
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: Really cancel you when you got the stage. I don't

193
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: think standom comedians can never be canceled.

194
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, in terms of stand up, no, But then you

195
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: know film and television where sometimes the bigger, easier money

196
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 5: is to be made that can be taken away from you.

197
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: But you know, this is why I love Dave Chappelle

198
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 5: so much. I don't want to jinx it, and I

199
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: don't think I am. But I think he's uncancellable, you know,

200
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 5: because he's such a force to be reckoned with.

201
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: Something you said does not make a lot of things though,

202
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: because the older you get as a comedian, do you

203
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: still want to be toring every weekend? Do you want

204
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: that to be the way you make money? Would you

205
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: rather be able to do something easier or like a

206
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: TV show?

207
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you enjoy it, if you enjoy it,

208
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: but you know there's levels to this. So if you

209
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: at the level where you know, instead of grinding out,

210
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 5: you know, three nights, six seven shows, you do a

211
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: theater for one night and instead of commercial you fly

212
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 5: in private, I don't think that ever gets old, you know.

213
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: So it's it's trying to figure out a way to

214
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 5: lessen the grind, you know, like I just started doing

215
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 5: data is now for the longest I've always done clubs.

216
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: But you know, between the date of the Garden, I

217
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 5: just sold out Toronto. I just sold out Boston at

218
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 5: the wilbur So. I'm you know, I'm slowly trying to

219
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 5: get to that point, you.

220
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: Know, doing the Hulu theater on the May eighteenth. A

221
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: lot of people know you from Mad TV, and I

222
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: always wondered because comedians, whenever they get it, enounce to

223
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: be like from comic view from death comedy jam. I'm like,

224
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: does that still matter when people still remember those things?

225
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: Not not? If not?

226
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: If not, if you, if your position is solidified, like

227
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: I'll go places in the in the in the person

228
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 5: will asks me, he whis your credits?

229
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Just say Harry Spizz.

230
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

231
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Everybody here knows who the fuck I am? What the

232
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: so they need to know? Hey, I've done they know already.

233
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: I might have been watching you on Black TV for

234
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: the last ten I might be twenty five.

235
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, right right, right, right right?

236
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: Why do you think shows like mad TV, sketch shows

237
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: like that didn't have the longevity of like SNL.

238
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: Well, you know, other than SNL, Mad TV was the

239
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: only sketch show to have that kind of longevity. But

240
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: you know, listen, Saturday Night Live is the bully on

241
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: the block, always has been. Maybe if the powers that

242
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 5: be had kind of supported us more like like even

243
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: Fox didn't really support us like we we had some

244
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 5: of the biggest names in music, Wu Tang, Gwen Stefani, Missy,

245
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: and our lead into the show was the news. So

246
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: when they would finish their segment, they would just go,

247
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: all right, now stay tuned for mad TV, wouldn't it

248
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: Who's on the show During summer Fox's biggest hits, they

249
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: would never promote us.

250
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: No teas, no no tease, no nothing. So we we

251
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: just we never really got the support that we deserved.

252
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: Why, I don't know, I don't know. It just it was.

253
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: It was weird, man. You know, we were like the

254
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: bastard step child, uh to Fox on our own network.

255
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy that when you realize this is Hollywood,

256
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: think game for me because I'm being here cursing everybody

257
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: out curse.

258
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 5: No I you know, no, I mean listen, it's it's

259
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 5: part of what goes through the journey. So you know,

260
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 5: always said, I don't really know how this is gonna

261
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: end for me. But uh, as much as I want

262
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: to sometimes get discouraged, I'm not gonna quit. You know,

263
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: I'll die before I quit, or it may kill me.

264
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: But either way, man, I'm in it, you know, because

265
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 5: here it's funny, I just put as much as I complain,

266
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 5: it's not until you step back sometimes and you put

267
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 5: shit in perspective where you go, I have reason to complain,

268
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: But then I look back and go my life versus

269
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 5: the regular joes.

270
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: This is still fantastic.

271
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, the kind of money I'm making one weekend, and

272
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 5: you know, I don't have a boss. I can sleep

273
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: in all day if I want, don't have to answer

274
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 5: to nobody.

275
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: What's better than that?

276
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 7: And I said that to you, And then now we're here.

277
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 6: I.

278
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 5: Know you.

279
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: Like, what did you want? Like before before you took

280
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: a step back to look and appreciate what you have?

281
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: What did you want? You know?

282
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: I think that and I and this is one of

283
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: those moments WHI I'll say I I I hope people

284
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: don't think that I'm being arrogant when I say this,

285
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: but I think based on my skill level, I should

286
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 5: be getting as just as much or I'll say just

287
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: as much as Kevin Hard or you know, Mike Apps.

288
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 5: But again I will take responsibility for why I'm not

289
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 5: because again I I don't I step different.

290
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: You know, Uh, was there a particular step that you

291
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: know that.

292
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: Damn that you stepped on.

293
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: A case.

294
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I probably shouldn't said what I said

295
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: about Jordan Peel, and you know, and and and uh

296
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 5: even at one point, I remember Kevin was on here

297
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 5: talking about the beef with me and him and EPs

298
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: and uh yeah. You know, listen, man, when you young

299
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 5: and you brash, and you're in New Yorker and you're

300
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 5: an alpha dog, you you your ego. We want the

301
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: beach chess, you know, and that's always who I've been.

302
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 5: So now that I'm forty nine and I'm looking back,

303
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, maybe I shouldn't.

304
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 4: Have you did the Cat Williams before Cat Williams?

305
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: Probably yes, yes, so you know, but like I said,

306
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 5: as long as I got air in my lungs and a.

307
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: Shot, I got a shot.

308
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Have you ever spoke to those individuals that you know

309
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: you might have went at what.

310
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: You said about Jordan Peel?

311
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there was a segment where Vlad had

312
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 5: showed an interview where Russell's Simmons had described them and

313
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: basically said, Hollywood didn't pick them niggas such and such

314
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 5: and such and this is how they and I was

315
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: saying based on my experience with them, it's like especially

316
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: it would fuck me up. Was when they were with mad,

317
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: especially Jordan's Kekan, you could always see what it was

318
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 5: talent wise, but Jordan was so quiet and he didn't

319
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: really bring it like that, so I didn't know that

320
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 5: really his superpower was writing and directing.

321
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: And I just said that, you know, listen, I said, yes.

322
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: They are black men. Yeah, black by pigmentation. But you know,

323
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 5: just because we got this skin tone, don't always make

324
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: you what this skin tone is. And they were very

325
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 5: I don't even know white wash, but they just you know,

326
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 5: the difference between just because you're a black man, your brother,

327
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

328
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: They didn't really have a lot of brother ship to them.

329
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 5: And then I'm like they both married the white women

330
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 5: and they carried themselves certain way. And but listen, was it.

331
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: This is an observation that happens to exist. I know

332
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: a lot of people in the comments are go, what

333
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 5: defines black. Let's not play that game. We know what

334
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 5: defines It's a rhythm, it's a culture, it's feel, it's

335
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: a walk, it's a sound.

336
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: But it's a difference between somebody that grew up in

337
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: the hood and somebody grew up in the suburbs.

338
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: They're still black, but they got a different I say.

339
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: All the time, I'm a Huxtable nigger. I ain't a

340
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: good times nigga, you know. I know there's a difference.

341
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 5: But even the Huxtable niggas, you could tell all legitd

342
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: niggas are doing.

343
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: The jazz hands got.

344
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: Evans was just as authentic as the Huxtables. But we

345
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: know these niggas out there, and I'm gonna say one now,

346
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 5: and and you had them on your show. I can't

347
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: stand Larry Elders. I can't stand that coon ass nigga.

348
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: I can't stand Kansas Owens, you know. And I love

349
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 5: when Dave Chappelle referred to her as a brilliant idiot.

350
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Because that's just what it is. Yeah, I know too.

351
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: She's articulate, she's intelligent, but use the wrong way, you

352
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Just just just like you, you're

353
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: intelligently dangerous.

354
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: So you know.

355
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 5: And and I don't care what Larry Elder says. I've

356
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 5: seen enough shit on him, read enough shit on him

357
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: to where I go. Nigga, Please, that's one of the

358
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: most tap dancing it's ass kissing niggas in the game.

359
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: Stop it, you know, get the fuck out of here.

360
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: So now you see I'm trying. You pulled me.

361
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Back here, trying to watch myself. Goddamn it, the natural

362
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: shit has happened.

363
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: I've never seen that with Kean Peel though. Well maybe,

364
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: but probably they don't discuss politics. I don't know.

365
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think they have to discuss politics. But again,

366
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: and I know to the people that will sit here

367
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: and go, I'm tired of black people trying to define blackness.

368
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 5: Let's not play this game. You know, when you hang

369
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: around somebody and you talk to him and there's a

370
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: vibe and an energy, you know what that is. I'm

371
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 5: just simply saying they never gave off that energy. And

372
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: that was my observation. Whether one is to agree with

373
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: it or not, that's neither here nor there. It's funny

374
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 5: about that people. There was a point where people felt

375
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: like that about Dave.

376
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Early early, early on.

377
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: And you know what, when I heard that, that was

378
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 5: only because Dave had, like a lot of black comedians,

379
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 5: Dave's route was more rooted in like doing stuff that

380
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: white people saw that black people didn't really see. But

381
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: once Dave did the Chappelle Show, niggas came late to

382
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 5: the Dave party.

383
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Dave was always that.

384
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 5: Nigga but black for instance, like Martin shoe Martin, that's

385
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 5: that's biblical in the Yeah, that shit was biblical, right.

386
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: They didn't have that accessibility to black people the way

387
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: Martin did. But Dave was always a thousand percent nigga.

388
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: And then once Chappelle show came out, niggas went, oh, well,

389
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 5: waited nigga right here. Now they late to the party.

390
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: But real comics and real niggas know Dave've always been that.

391
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 7: So yeah, what so Comic View then and now I

392
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 7: never did come with you know what I'm saying. You

393
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 7: watched it, like, how do you feel about it being rebooted?

394
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: And how the same way I felt about Death Jam

395
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: being rebooked. Yeah, like you know that, and that.

396
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 5: Was something the explosion. And obviously Death Jam came before

397
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: Comic View. And I tell people this all the time.

398
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: What made Death Jam so explosive and it was it

399
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 5: was inevitable, was because prior to Death Jam, Hollywood only

400
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: allowed one nigga for a decade, you know, Gregory in

401
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: the sixties, prior in the seventies, Eddie in the eighties,

402
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 5: and black talent had always been out there, we just

403
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: weren't allowed to shine like that. So once America got

404
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 5: a chance to see a thousand niggas at once, it

405
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 5: was an explosion. Then followed behind that Comicview, but the

406
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 5: genies out the bottle now, so I don't.

407
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: Know how you captured that.

408
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 5: What was special then now on TV on TV, and

409
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: now you got this thing which is a thousand other options,

410
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: you know, and and you know when you did death

411
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 5: Jam or Comicview, you got on there because you earned

412
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: your stripes. It was talented. Now everybody with this platform

413
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 5: is a comedian. And I'm just like, damn like this

414
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 5: one nigga on on on Instagra, on social media, the

415
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 5: nigga that pulls the cereal on his head and the

416
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 5: milk in the walmart.

417
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Have you seen this? He needs like a pep coach.

418
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 5: Like he goes in the Walmart and opens a whole

419
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 5: box of cereal and dumps the entire thing of cereal

420
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 5: and milk all over his body a mask. Well, he's

421
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: trying to get your attention. But while he does it,

422
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 5: he's telling you believe in yourself. What anybody tells you,

423
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 5: believe in yourself, you.

424
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: Can do it.

425
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 5: And meanwhile, in the background, you got all these people

426
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 5: in the store like, what is this nigga doing? And

427
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 5: in the comments, people are going, yo, man, look past

428
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: the milk and the message.

429
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: And he had a message. And I'm going, who the fuck, nigga.

430
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 5: If somebody's gotta clean that got to clean that, that's

431
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 5: not funny. And I said, nigga, if you really want

432
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 5: to be impactful with that same energy and that same practice,

433
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 5: do that at a police station. Yeah, go into cops,

434
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: NI believe in his house, put the cereal in the milk.

435
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 5: Do that ship at the at the police station. And

436
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 5: the people are saying, this is good. Not even come

437
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 5: to your house and do that shit in your living

438
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 5: room to clean up cereal and milk.

439
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: I want to ask you something about the nineties, man,

440
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: because growing up in the nineties, it felt like people

441
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: were not as sensitive as they are now. And I'm

442
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: not even talking about like it was a great eraror like,

443
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: and it felt like artistically people could do things like

444
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: we talk about men on film and I've seen people

445
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: give you, you know, flack for sketches that you've done

446
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: and I'm like, but that's how things were back then.

447
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: You're judging things on this era. Back then that was normal, right,

448
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: So it's like, what do you think happened? Even the

449
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: black men wearing dresses and all of that.

450
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, again social media, because everybody's got a voice. Everybody

451
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: believes it because they have a voice station be heard,

452
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 5: they're special. And the fact is everybody ain't special. Some

453
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: people are fucking dumb. Most people are dumb. Most people

454
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 5: don't have talent. Most people, you know, they be quiet,

455
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: you know, And everybody's got a chance now and because

456
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 5: of that, we have to protect and respect everybody's feelings

457
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 5: and thoughts. So it's taken away from the purity of

458
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: being able to just keep what's special special. You know,

459
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: it's oversaturated. You know, it's horrible.

460
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: Where did that come from? Though? Like, where did that pivot?

461
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: Where did that shift happen to? Where like the things

462
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: that were being done in the nineties that were just funny.

463
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: I guess when did that become like a thing where

464
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: that black man sold out if he were addressed to

465
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: get on you know, I don't know where This boogeyman

466
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: theory has always existed within the black community about men

467
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: in dresses when men in drag has always been a

468
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: staple in comedy from day one, and my whole thing

469
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: was listen man. Again, Let's let's have it in perspective.

470
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: First of all, that is a comedic thing.

471
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 5: And when you look at all the prominent black men

472
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 5: in Hollywood, both comedians and dramatic actors, we have far

473
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: more black men not in dresses than we do. And

474
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 5: when you look at I could go down list of Denzel,

475
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 5: Sam Jackson, Van Raims, fucking Wesley Snipes, and it's like

476
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: we've played everything from lawyers, the judges, to cops, the superheroes,

477
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 5: loving fathers, loving husbands, everything under the sun. How many

478
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 5: of those have been in dresses. None of the dramatic actors.

479
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I know Wesley did Touwongfu, but other than that, yeah, Denzel,

480
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: this person that they ain't never been in the dress.

481
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 5: But even the comedians who have, let's not play this game.

482
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 5: It's like, if you're gonna tell me on one end,

483
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: it's the mean black man. And that's some bullshit. So

484
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 5: we now taken the glory away from Jamie Fox Oscar

485
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 5: Winners singer, one of the best actors in the game,

486
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: because y'all loved him when he was Wanda you Love

487
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 5: Martin when it was Biblical Mama Paine, the Big Mama series.

488
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 5: So do we take the legend of Flip Wilson and

489
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 5: throw that away when he was on a show at

490
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 5: a time when black people weren't on TV and he

491
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 5: gave us a platform where we couldn't be seen. Do

492
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: we take the iconic status away from Eddie Murphy? You

493
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: know the clumps Mama Clump resbuseitsche bryor the greatest comedian

494
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 5: of all time as the Maid and the toy. So

495
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: come on, man, let's not do that. And if any

496
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 5: of these niggas came to your city to perform, you

497
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 5: ain't buying tickets going you going, so stop it, man.

498
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 3: And everybody you named this is like top tier legendary talent. Yes,

499
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: like that person would have made it regardless, Yes, yes,

500
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: and again in perspective, you've seen them in a dress

501
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: maybe here once or there twice.

502
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: In a movie.

503
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: Look at their body of work. Most of it is

504
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: not in a dress. So as long as the scales

505
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 5: tip a certain way, yo, we can have a little

506
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 5: bit of that for comedic purposes. You know, Tyler Perry.

507
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: Motherfucker's a Juggernauts, got.

508
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 5: A whole studio, helps to employ a lot of black folks,

509
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 5: And now we're gonna deny ourselves a piece of a

510
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: potential pie because he wore a dress.

511
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: It made him who he is.

512
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 5: Now he can use that money to funnel back into

513
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 5: our communities and build us up.

514
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: So what are we fighting?

515
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: Right?

516
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's fucking ridiculous to me.

517
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: Our stand up specials? How do you make stand up

518
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: special special?

519
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Nowadays?

520
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 5: I just think it starts with the talent. If the

521
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 5: talent is special, the rest takes care of itself. So,

522
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 5: like I like that great quote by jay Z I

523
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 5: forget the uh the documentary when he performed at the Garden,

524
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 5: the back to the backstage, Yeah, and he said, uh,

525
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 5: just getting the boofly they throw a crack at guard

526
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 5: and so you know, get on stage, do what you do,

527
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 5: and that's gonna take care of everything else. He gave

528
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 5: you the talent, so you know, use it.

529
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

530
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 7: I also say, what makes some special is not giving

531
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 7: him out that just anybody.

532
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You don't give It's.

533
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 7: Like because I like I like, I do like raw comedy,

534
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 7: I do like styles from like back in the day, Like,

535
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 7: you know, I do like that, but when it seems

536
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 7: like it's too commercial, like for instance, that last piece

537
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 7: of that third piece of advice that you said Chris

538
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 7: gave me trying not to pisch white people. If you

539
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 7: can actually see that in a lot of black specials

540
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 7: when they trying and tiptoe around stuff.

541
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't.

542
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 7: I don't like that because then it doesn't allow you

543
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 7: to be creative. And then what doesn't piss And it's

544
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 7: not even just white people, it's all these different you know, communities.

545
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 7: Now everything is so since everybody's so sensitive, it's like,

546
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 7: because I really, at one point, like I really really

547
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 7: want it like a special and I'm not saying I

548
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 7: don't now, but it's like, Yo.

549
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: You wanted to be special.

550
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 7: I wanted to be special, and I don't want to

551
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 7: water myself down just to get that.

552
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Well, I think number one, I don't think you have to.

553
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 5: You know, I think part of what makes it special

554
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 5: too is you ain't got to pump out five specials

555
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 5: in a month.

556
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many of these dudes.

557
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 5: On Netflix who got like DDN, you just have one,

558
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: they got another one, And I'm like Jada cooking the

559
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 5: bird up. Slow cook it, slow man, you know. Uh,

560
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 5: And again this is the genius of Dave. Though of

561
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 5: all the specials he put out, the only one I

562
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 5: really didn't like a lot was the one in the

563
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: Belly Room. But all these other ones, I can't remember

564
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 5: the name, but he did it at the comedy Store,

565
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 5: but it was just him in the belly room.

566
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: But all the other ones, uh, were potent.

567
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: But Dave's a potent motherfucker. But there's so many of

568
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: these dudes who might not be as potent. But because

569
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 5: the opportunity is there, or the money is there, they want.

570
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: To put out these specials, you know.

571
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: And I'm just like I would rather I would say,

572
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 5: you know, put out fewer and make sure that the

573
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 5: ones you put out of fire.

574
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh but I think they follow with Dave because Dave

575
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: puts out a couple of specials.

576
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: But Dave, like you said, it's funny.

577
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 5: But Dave's Dave, and I ain't a whole lot of motherfuckers?

578
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: Can can you know?

579
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 1: Rock like that?

580
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 5: You know, if he was still alive, I said, the

581
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 5: only comic who could rival Dave is Patrise. So if

582
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 5: Patrice hadn't passed or I.

583
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: Mean I ran into him. I didn't see him on stage,

584
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 3: like I knew him from like he used to be

585
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: on that Vage one show all the time, and like

586
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 3: I would hear him.

587
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

588
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 5: You saw specials though, right in the room, not in

589
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 5: not in full, oh god, elephant in the room, his

590
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: album Mister p even his half hour Comedy Central special.

591
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: That motherfucker was a monster. I mean, he liked Dave.

592
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 5: You're gonna say, what the fuck he's gonna say, You're

593
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: not diluting his comedy cocaine.

594
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: It's pure that what I'm saying. One I remember him saying,

595
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: I forgot what radio show he was. He was like,

596
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: one day we're all gonna be working for Patriai. Yeah.

597
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 5: There are three great quotes about three legendary comics that

598
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: that I think is the credo that we live by. Uh.

599
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: George Carlin said, Dave Chappelle said, you don't know what

600
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: the line is in comedy until you cross it. Dave said,

601
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 5: George said, you should know where the line is in

602
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 5: comedy and deliberately cross it. And then Patrice said, good

603
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 5: comedy leaves half the audience laughing the other half horrified.

604
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 5: I think those are both three lines we got to

605
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 5: live by, you know, as crazy as Roseanne barr is.

606
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: I remember I read this one book and I can't

607
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 5: remember exactly how she said it, but to paraphrase, she

608
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: was just like, it is our job and duty to

609
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 5: say what the fuck we feel, especially when we know

610
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 5: this is a platform where we're supposed to be allowed

611
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: to do that, and people live vicariously through us, which

612
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: is why they love comics, because we say what they

613
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 5: think and what they feel but they can't. So if

614
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 5: that is an escape that people must have, which it is,

615
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: we got to do our job.

616
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: Man.

617
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 5: You know, by the way, I just wanted to always

618
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 5: tell you you got some of the most gorgeous lips

619
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 5: I've ever seen.

620
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, I appreciate that.

621
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 5: Man.

622
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: You are a guy. I very am. Really, I'm a

623
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,639

00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 5: I'd be a dead.

631
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't know enough.

632
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 5: And as a woman, I would think that if I'm

633
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: trying to do that, your pussy would dry up.

634
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: You know you're supposed to say to get me wet.

Speaker 5: to be like like we would go to you would see.

639
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: I think I think Dave, especially with that special we

640
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: did about the whole transgender thing, because that was all

641
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 5: about the trend. He can lead the way, but in

642
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: order for that to work, all the other big comics

643
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: got to get behind that movement. He can't be a

644
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: solo dude trying to push us forward. But if the

645
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: bill Birds and the Sarah Silverman's and and Kevin Hart's

646
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: and the mic Apps, if everybody said fun this within

647
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 5: the comic community, we bringing it back of this. No

648
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 5: Burt duns, I'm saying. But more than him. You know,

649
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: Mark couldn't be out there with just him and Reverend Abernathy.

650
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 5: You need all the niggas behind that.

651
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: You got the guy like Andrew Schultz. Now, don't give.

652
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Me Jolts is a beast.

653
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: You know, Schultz is a beast, the Shane Gillis is

654
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: of the world. Right, don't know that those guys give

655
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: a fuck. I mean they're white, but right, they don't

656
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: give it. That also is a key factor that I

657
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: think those don't give a fuck.

658
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 5: Calos Miller yeh yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, that there's

659
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 5: a small group. Uh, but I'm just saying it's the masses.

660
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 5: I feel like that's something we all got to get behind,

661
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: even if you're not that kind of comic in the

662
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: name of what we do in this community, how could

663
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 5: you not support it.

664
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: You haven't done a specially since what twenty sixteen.

00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Flex won't fuck with me.

668
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: Is there a reason they have? They told you a reason?

669
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 5: Just you know again, you know, one thing about Hollywood

670
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 5: is uh And this is why I say, you know,

671
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 5: no one does self investigation.

672
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: This ship is very high school. You know, clicks, just clicks.

673
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: You know, the gods sit with the gods, the preps, preps,

674

00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 5: me holler at you, let me let me feel you

677
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 5: out myself and then they can go Listen. I don't

678
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: know what experiences those people had, but the vibe I'm getting, Yo,

679
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 5: you're cool.

680
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Mo fucker. No one does that, and how they go

681
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: off for what they hear.

682
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also a dig riding business though.

683
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: Well, ditch sucking and ride.

684
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

685
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: So when you sell out the Hulu theaters and you

686
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: keep doing these theaters, they'll be knocking at.

687
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: You out and that's listen. I listen.

688
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck how it happens, whether I

689
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: if I can't get through the front, whether I got

690
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 5: to go around over under. As long as i'm the

691
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 5: roads in the concrete, then I've done my job. So

692
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 5: my path and my journey may definitely take longer and

693
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: be harder, but that don't make it all worth it.

694
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Once I do what I need to do, get to

695
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: where I need to get.

696
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: I respect the fact that you got such self awareness

697
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: because a lot of people forty nine years old, they

698
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 3: still be holding on to it's that person's fault and

699
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: that person listen.

700
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: Let's not get it misconstrued. Some of the shit in

701
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: this game can can cause you to you know, but

702
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 5: I have done some things that I regret. I have

703
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 5: done some things. Maybe I suldn't, but it don't take

704
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 5: away from the fact that there's still the politics of this.

705
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 5: There's still the racism of show business. And maybe and

706
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 5: listen again, I started when I was fourteen. I was

707
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 5: in Hollywood and was doing Mad TV at twenty two,

708

Speaker 5: see all of this.

714
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: This business is that'll fuck you up. If you ain't ready,

715
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: you're supposed to lose your mind.

716
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 5: They should have a contract. He's going to lose his

00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 5: to me. I'm the most successful, you know, richest person

719
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 5: in my family. So who prepped me for this? Nobody

720
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 5: prepped me and said, hey, I remember Norm Nixon used

721
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: to be my manager. He was my first manager when

722
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 5: I moved out to LA and I remember he took

723
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 5: me to Miami and I was probably like, you know,

724
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 5: eighteen and I ain't had no money on me, knowing

00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: let me get ten dollars.

728
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: He goes, WHOA.

729
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 5: As a man, you don't ever leave your house without money.

730
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 5: My father didn't teach me that, but Norm did.

731
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: So it was like again, I had nobody to pull my.

732
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 5: Coketail and go, hey, hey, you you were in Hollywood

733
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: and you black don't. So I'm doing everything for the

734
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 5: first time on my own. So yeah, I made some mistakes,

735
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, but it is.

736
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: What it is. Have you ever apologized to anybody? Oh

737
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 3: of course, yeah, like Kevin or any of those guy

738
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: behind it.

739
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 5: Not Kevin, but Apion and Pharaoh. I said, I said, look, man,

740
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 5: if I came off a certain way or made y'all

741
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 5: feel a certain way based off of maybe something I

742
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 5: didn't say, that I should have said my bad, like

743
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 5: I learned with Tony when I messed with him for

744
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 5: the first time, I said, Tony, I'm gonna be honest

745
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 5: with you. Man. I'm surprised you even had me on

746
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 5: because for a long time I didn't even think you

747
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 5: liked me, and he goes, dude, I'm gonna be honest

748
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: with you, it's not that I didn't like you, matter

749
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 5: of fact. And he brought up this story that I

750
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 5: didn't remember. He goes, we did a gig in Seattle

751
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 5: one time, me and you and I forget the other

752
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: name of the comic. He goes, we all sitting in

753
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 5: a limo and the whole time I wanted to talk

754
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 5: to you, and I'm like, oh shit, that's Harry Spears.

755
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 5: And I said, I never knew you had that kind

756
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: of respect for me or even liked me, because and

757
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: we're two New York niggas, so Tony's got his bravado too.

758
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 5: But Tony said, dude, I always was a fan, but

759
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 5: you always looked so stand offish, and you didn't smile,

760
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 5: you didn't really talk to people. Maybe if you saw him,

761
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: you did that, and that was it. So I kind

762
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: of just thought you was like most people use that

763
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 5: asshole and there was nothing he was basing that off.

764
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 5: Like I said something to him. I disrespected them. But

765
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 5: that's always been who I've been. I've always just been.

766
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 5: When I'm not on stage, I'm quiet, man, I'm very

767
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 5: reserved unless I really know you, and then if I

768
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 5: know you, we could, you know, turn it up.

769
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just I don't say much.

770
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 4: I've always been like that as long as it's always

771
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 4: been like the.

772
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: Issue with Avion, like the whole sketch thing.

773
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 5: No, I just, I just I just again said, because

774
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 5: I think in passing I would see a peon and

775
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 5: Pharaoh and I would just kind of like.

776
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: That's it.

777
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 3: Did you have a King of New York mentality like

Speaker 3: up a little bit right and let me.

809
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 5: And it's funny because talking about perception, and I got

810
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 5: to ask you because early on, especially the first time

811
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 5: I did the Breakfast Club, there was always this pre warning, yo, man,

812
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 5: careful Charlamagne, Charlamagne, try to purposely say things to So

813
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 5: the first time I came here, I was talking and

814
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 5: I was just when try to.

815
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: And you never did because I don't do that.

816
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 5: And now on the second time, I'm going, well, he's older,

817
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 5: I'm older, and I'm still not sensing this perception that

818
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 5: you this dude who's gonna purposely.

819
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: Try to It's never been there, like I think like

820
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: you in a lot of ways, just like honesty, I'm

821
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 3: asking honest question right, people react how they want to

822
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: react to it, but I'm never in purposely like all

823
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 3: my disrespect this person, I almost say something to get

824
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 3: this person called up.

825
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: Nahr.

826
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 7: And another thing is he don't like to leave shit alone,

827
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 7: like if somebody if he thinks you bullshitting' about an

828
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 7: answer to here, asks you again another way.

829
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: See, I respect that, though I.

830
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 5: Respect that, though you know again I'm direct, you know,

831
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 5: and and and and in this pussy era we live

832
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 5: in direct honesty confidence. Those are all bad traits. And

833
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 5: I never understood that. You know, I love Muhammad Ali

834
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: to death. You know, I'm handsome, I'm I'm pretty, I'm fast,

835
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: and I can't possibly be beat. That man made niggas

836
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 5: at that time feel like they was worth something, you know.

837
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 5: And even though you know we far advanced past that

838
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 5: and we know were worth something, I mean, we still.

839
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: Need to hear that, we still need to feel that,

840
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: believe that.

841
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: So you know, we had my gloup here yesterday and

842
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: he said he feels like comedy is a dying art form.

843
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 5: But I know his stance on Dave Chappelle didn't help it,

844
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 5: you know, when he came out with that, and I

845
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 5: listened comediically, if Dave was a musician, based on his

846
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 5: his pace, his awareness, he's Miles Davis and always said,

847
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 5: you raw a Carmichael. He has a lot of that

848
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 5: same rhythm. He's the lonely and spunk. So I have

849
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 5: a lot of respect for Carmichael. But when when When

850
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 5: after he came out and then he trash Dave kind

851
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 5: of for the for the transgender special, I was like, dude,

852
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 5: you you're violating one of the biggest codes in comedy.

853
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 5: You're putting your personal ship over the art. You know

854
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 5: this badge that we wear called comedy and this oath

855
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: we've taken that comes before anything, and so you let

856
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 5: your personal agenda and feelings come in.

857
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Front of the cold nigga.

858
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 3: You don't do that.

859
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: Nah, he was wrong for that.

860
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: He apologized on breath because I gave me an'll get

861
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: a day for exactly what you said. Because I'm like,

862
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: if you a comed eventually you're going to say something

863
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: that's going to offend people, if you're going to do

864
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: something that's gonna un people wrong, right, and not less

865
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: than twelve hours, he had the joke that was a

866
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: slave reality show right about him. What was it? He

867
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: looked at his boyfriend as a slave master teaching him

868
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: how to read. You know, we didn't see that one,

869
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 3: but he said it didn't. It didn't.

870
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 4: They only took a part of it and it was

871
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 4: like a full on long.

872
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: He said, they try to sexualize it. It don't matter

873
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 3: about the setting.

874
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I want to watch his show because you know,

875
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 5: me and my podcast partner we talk about everything when

876
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 5: we were like, you know, and it's comics.

877
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: We're interested to see his take on that. With that show.

878
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: Definitely watch it, watch it in context, listen context. It's

879
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 5: extremely important because I remember when Sarah Silverman got in

880
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 5: trouble for something regarding like kind of like black face,

881
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 5: and of course everybody rah, but contextually when you saw

882
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 5: what it was, you I went, it ain't what y'all

883
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 5: yelling about. So, you know, and I know sometimes black people,

884
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 5: as much as I love my people, we'd be the

885
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: first to.

886
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: Want to each other. Yeah, and it's just like, slow down,

887
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: what's the context and go from there. So definitely watch

888
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: the show.

889
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 5: I do a joke about where the punchline is basically

890
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 5: Doctor King getting assassinated. You know, now, when you hear

891
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 5: that first of all, that happened in nineteen sixty eight,

892
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 5: you would.

893
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: Think, damn, that's so long ago. What's it?

894
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 5: But the way I tell it the audience, Oh, but

895
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 5: then the way I address it afterwards, and long story short,

896
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: it's a banger.

897
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: It's a banger.

898
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 5: So there's a way you can say everything. You know,

899
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 5: it's just that's the artist and if you're special, you

900
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 5: know how to do that. Anybody don't know how to.

901
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: Do that now, you know.

902
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: Lastly, I know that there was you was in the

903
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: news about a couple of years ago. I felt like

904
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 2: somebody was taking the old footage of you and taking

905
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: it out of hand.

906
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 4: Maybe not maybe with you and Tiffany had it. So

907
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: what happened with that?

908
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: If I can't get into that, you know, I would

909
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 5: love to because it's bothering me. Not too because several

910
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 5: Vlad appearances, you know, without fail, when you go to

911
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 5: the comments, there's the comments Man and Nigga talking about everything.

912
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: But that and I ain't never ran from nothing, you

913
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

914

Speaker 5: So I want to address it, but my lawyer is like,
