Could like the Cowboy. Yeah, you're notorious for that ship.
He'll always say the wrong every city.

I'm gonna stay with them. We in Boston. He go
on stage and say, man, fuck the Patriots. You don't
have a team. Carola't have to shoot at about the hate.
I just hate the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I don't don't have to hate the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Because the Cowboy fans get so upset when you hate it.
You know, they take the ship personally. You know they lose.
You don't see them, you can't find them. They don't
talk to you nothing, they want to answer the phone. None
of that ship. So that's that's the part of the on.
The other teams don't even matter, the Lakers and the Cowboys.
I'm here for the hate and I live in l
(01:26):
not never said that ship less. I was in my club,
this ship on the street, like you being Arena he Lo,
I just turned up. I don't give it down.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't give you damn.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I guess that's how you have to be do that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But you know what, I kind of left that ship alone, man,
because you know, once five and lost this super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
It's not that I know support.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I've been watching from a fall, but I don't have
to be in that arena to hear lost.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You ain't got to remind that you know.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, it's because my buddy doesn't know. We know that
Ship does a joke by his cousin or something that
is gay, and he's the falcon fingy you're gonna win
the game. And then after half time he called him
up this man, fuck you nigga. When the nigga came
(02:15):
out of that get it damn damn crazy sometimes they do.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Dam but I cried over that game too.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It did it? It upset you down for me.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I literally in the car and I like three tens,
you know, like one till you like you trying to
blame it, like on the win, tell you like man
my alley that thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I'm like, real, this ship fun well. I mean, in
the last two years I really became a sports fan
because up into that I didn't know Ship about sports.
I had a French accept phrase that I could say
that would get me in a sports conversation. And this
goes out to anybody who don't know Ship about sports.
You got to have something to get you in the conversation,
(03:02):
right if you don't know Ship. So here was my
he was my fraid. Everybody talking.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What did I do?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He ran to for it and I don't know what
told me. So all you got to do is say
what about that big white boy from Kansas? It's always
a big white boy and everybody, I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Like, what about it?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I think I know you? Yeah, but now I watch it.
I love it. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
O g in the building.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Man, let me tell you something I've been doing going
on eleven years, me doing stand up professionally.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Great on the stage. Takes. They said it take ten years.
It takes. It takes.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But when I was watching it as a kid, like
I'm talking about like a kid.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
When coming you used to come on, and you used
to come on with your suits and ship like it.
Take a real.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Comedian to a host amongst other great comedians and keep
that crowd going. Yo Yo Yo yo Yo said when
you was on coming you it is one of my
favorite ones, especially especially when the hosting.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
When it comes like Rickish smiling.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah all ded Jay bruise Bruises, y'all did y'all did that?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Y'all here? That is so much fun, you know, to
do that. And but I think the big start for
me was Atlanta. I got my I got my break
in Atlanta, right, Yeah, there was a club, Yeah yeah, Atlanta,
Atlanta was I caught it. I caught the bus from Columbia,
South Carolina to come to Atlanta. And now at that time,
(04:35):
I'm staying at YMCA because the rooms were like maybe
twelve dollars a week or some shit like that. Get it.
I get a cab and the mother drive me all
round Atlanta, right, twenty five dollars. I'm like, I paid it,
got twenty dollars and I walk out the fucking hotel,
the bus station right across the goddamn street. Man, I
didn't know, so I didn't know. So I figured I'd
(04:57):
already had a degree in tailoring and that I started
out as a tailor to be I'm going to be
a designer. I'm gonna make clothes and stuff like that.
But I always loved comedy. So they had this place
called Mister b figure eight, I know, and they had
this show called it was called a Gong show. So
I go one night to perform. Now I didn't get
(05:19):
gone and Reona didn't get gone because I wasn't up
that long. Now I did one joke, and so he
gave me dumb as a host, and being the host
allowed me to work on my crowd every day. So
(05:40):
by the time I went to l A or by
the time I went on the road, I was ready,
you know. And that's that's the difference in terms of
what comedy is today. First of all, the game and
changed the game, change the Internet and changed the rules
still apply, you still apply. The game changed in terms
of you can do this here you're doing and reach
(06:01):
a million motherfuckers where you probably never perform in front
of a million monthract. And so when I hear people
talking about, well they just internet comics and they don't
have a show, Well they got a crowd, you don't.
And who the fuck are these people going around? Well
they didn't pay their dudes. Who the fuck is collecting
these dudes that people talk about.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
In the ground dude?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, but what are the dudes? Yeah, because it's a
different avenue now, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I mean if you a real student of the game,
there are some dudes that you had to win. They
mean like sweat, you know what I'm saying, time dedication.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
The dude don't have to pay their money game, yeah,
you know what I'm saying. And they never really get
out there and do the stand up thing. But they
still got crowds coming out, you know what I'm saying.
Some people don't respect it, like motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And the older crowd just got to understand they're molding
their crowd when they come out because the people that
come out ain't like worrying about They kind of fans
of them already on social media.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So they kind of expect a little bit of what
they do on social media.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So if he give us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Something extra, that just that just adds to the point
you win.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But if we already give us something that we have seen,
you don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Sometimes you do a show and if you don't do
the ship they see, they upset. Now that's what I saw.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That ain't what I want.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You might you might have been alright in this era though,
because all you had to do was to watch out.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But no, I don't think I think the dudes are
just you know, just to swear in the time, especially
when like when y'all had to be labeled a comedian.
That's kind of like a fraternity stamp because y'all technically
did had.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
To go through a lot to even be called the comedian.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You may be funny, but you ain't no comedian, right,
you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You might saying some funny before, but you ain't no
to be label a comedian is honest.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know. You gotta know that.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And you was the comedian for us, brocause a lot
of us roll to school with you. Well, you ain't
had no choice because you're gonna put what I'm saying,
but you'm on the show. You would be the ship
gonna sit in the back. See you're gonna listen to
you turn yeah, look out. But you would be the
reason that I'd be like what he gonna say? You
know what I'm saying, because we be and I'm not bragging.
(08:35):
When the time Jo on the show was on the end,
there was no show better than what we did, not
what we wouldn't have your word, I mean, you had
so many elements of the show. It's your word on Melvin,
come on, come on, George Wallace when his ass will
come on the show, Tavis smilet Free. So the elements
(08:59):
of the show so many, and it was that you listen,
you know, it was just it was just a great show.
Nothing there was nothing that could be us. Now Steve
was a bigger show. But I think the time John
the show is better. Show man.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
How did y'all build your fan base back in the day,
Like when there wasn't no internet, It.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wasn't no apps to get on. They wore cooking your
tickets to your comedy clubs that that already existed. By
the time I got into comedy, there was there was
the improv, there was there was always a club that
had some funny ass name like he He Ship like that,
you know, and they already had an audience because white
(10:00):
comics have been working for years in these clubs. Like
when I went to New York, I was surprised the
size of the audience that you know, they were already there.
So you had to learn how to navigate what you
were doing from the South as a black comedian into
a white club. So by the time you switch over
to all black clubs, all you know is how to
relate to white people. So that ship, they will let
(10:22):
you know right away that that ship ain't funny. And
and the worst thing for a comedian is you're gonna
learn if you get booed. You're gonna learn if you
get booed, you're gonna learn if you have a bad set.
And what you might do here might not work that night,
but did you go to some place next night that
should have worked? In reality? If we're all comedians, the
funniest thing for comedians is to watch another motherfucker bomb.
(10:46):
There's nothing funny like damn.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I make the crowd talking to you man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Starting no moment. Take you out of that rules to
bomba the trip words, to come out of Bamba's law.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That crazy cra.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Crazy. So what y'all want to talk about? Give it up?
Give it up on the lad one, y'all don't get
it now, we got it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We heard, we heard you ain't working.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The best ship be what motherfucker was doing? All right?
And they should have got the off. Yeah, they got that,
Ladd And didn't you know you got laugh to do it?
It will make them thinks. I've seen Ralphie made. He
did the time doing a cruise and he was doing
(11:56):
good and somehow I don't know. In the after his man,
and he said you need it. And when he said
that on the top joined the cool cruise and he
did people man, and now he don't with me. Never
to get boot on the boat. You don't step on.
(12:21):
You got to see them, see the people, you know.
He eating like two threats black in the morning because
he don't want to face nobody in the park. I said, no, man,
don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Come back
the next night and do it again, do it again.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Again, because he said you what was he bombing?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And just said ship. I think I don't know what
then happened doing man, But he got boot twice. He
just wanted to try. He just wanted to see he
can do it. Why come kind of too so crossed
over into a black audience. They think it's almost that
they can say anything. Then there's a certain amount of
ship you can say. But then there's some ship you
can't say that, and they'll let you know what what
(13:06):
be lucky. He just got to see these people again.
Man on vacation drunk in the song bitch.
Speaker 5 (13:18):

listening to his joke. I'm talking to the grown people.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Don't talking to the bron man.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
The grown people's boring ship that if you if you've
ever been booed, I had a bad set, it's worse.

(20:00):
You've been hustling, man, you've been shirts.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, because you put your face on there.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, ego, okay, you if I remember correctly, you had

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, ego, that's my work. Yeah, put it all on. Okay,
you do that. I do that. Yeah, if it's too big,
just wash it water to your hand puppet. I think,
(20:43):
did I get my own T shirt? Nig stupid? Yeah? Yeah,
I give her own T shirty teaching peppers. Do know
that was not hot? That's just that's really good, really
really good. What made you get in the hot sauce business?
Because when I want to do the club, my son said,
(21:04):
you know, once you come up with something that you
could give the club. If the thing about clubs back
in the day was if the if the if the
help like you, they would they would suggest that you
come back right. So if you treat the help right,
they said, what you bring back such and such. So
I found this company in Florida that would make take
you know, your recipes or whatever you want to and
(21:24):
they're making your own Laby's called private labeling, you know,
which I always encourage anybody to do. If you're doing
T shirts or whatever, you can put your name on anything,
hot chicken, whatever. It's called private labeling. So you just
look for what it is you want to sell and
you find a company that will do private labeling, and
they'll put your name on it and they'll make it
for you. And either they either you send it out yourself.
(21:46):
So I found this hot sauce company, so Hot Sauce Sam,
and they made me about four flavors. But the first
one was it's called Hotter than the Mofo and it's
really fucking hot. I mean I didn't even bring that way.
That was really hot. So we would go to these
hot sauce shows. A lot of people don't know because
they have a hot Sauce show. It be four or
five thousand people that easily tasting it hot sauce, like
(22:10):
Hot Sauce Convention as a hot sauce Yeah, but they
eat it and like and like got it ship It'll
burn your hands. But they'd be like, yeah, it's got
some flighting.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
So I went.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I went to the Hot sau show and nobody came
to my table. Nobody came to my table, and so
I said, fucking I got my buddy to make this
costume for me, the Mofo Man. The next year, I
sold so much funking Hot Sauce Man, because everybody wanted
to take a picture. And that's what selling is. It's
pretty much with that suit on, Yeah, I'm making my
(22:51):
whole Hey man, get off this nuts you know yea,
hold my nuts right man, nuts around.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I don't even want to talk.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
And I'm over here here, I'm already another.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Eminem. Okay, okay, but what is he right here? That's
that's my wine. Put the house on it. That's my one.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Who you boy, it's not finish?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
TikTok? How long you've been doing I started the first
time I went on stage, first time I ever went
on stage. That bomb so fucking bad. First time I
went on stage, I was eighteen years old. My next birthday,
I'll be seventy three.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Comebo, have your power, your pier.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But the game it's changed so much about fifty five years, yes, sir, Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's been great for me. I mean I've
been Blackie. I wrote on the Our Senior Hall. I
wrote for Steve Holley, I wrote for Simbad, I wrote
for George. I wrote on Robert Townsend Show. But I
(24:12):
mean even terms with Steve. Steve and I we met
each other in Lafayette, Louisiana. Neither one of us was
doing shit, so we just hooked up and became friends.
He gets his show, and he stood up for me.
He really didn't. He said it was another guy by
the name of Raean McDonald. Look you heard her name,
I know you know. Ra Sean and so Steve were
in the office and Steve said, I'm gonna do the show.
(24:34):
The show is called Me and the Boys. He said,
I'm gonna do the show, but if you don't take
these two guys, then I'm not gonna do the show.
And he didn't have to do that. Now he had
fired me three times. But fuck that. He gave me.
He gave me a shot as a writer on the show.
And that was a big move for us. That was
I mean, that changed the game to write because I'd
(24:54):
already been writing jokes for our senior but to write
as a writer on the show, that changed the game.
And that was because of Steve. Yeah. Yeah, he did
us all the solid man. So shout out to Steve. Yeah. So,
how did you transition? For like you said, you tell
your first fifteen.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
In the white, white crowd and then now you started
to see the black club.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
How did you transit?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
It was a It was a rough transition. It was
a lot. I would go to the comedy theater and
it'd be all black audience and and I would use
the phrase you how you guys doing, and they're like, Nigga,
who the are you calling you guys? It was it
was a learning process. It was a learning process and
(25:37):
the respect. Yeah as a black comedian, you'll you'll see
all black audiences now when you didn't see when the Yeah,
so I had to learn how to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Why did that comeing?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Because everybody just can't get that job, that hosting gi
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Take us through the process when it was like, it
wasn't an audition.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Did they call your phone?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Captain Hughes, who was in charge of Comic View, would
come on the Tom Jones Show, and I asked her
what they're looking for a host because they would change
hosts each season. And so that's how I got the job.
A lot of the times I got ship was luck
or being in the right place at the right time.
You know. The way I got on the Arsenior Hall
(26:21):
Show was our senior at that time had two writers.
You only had two writers. One one by the name
of Paul playing Barry. I can't remember his name, but
I'm in Hollywood. He said, man, come over for lunch.
We're gonna write to my law and then we can
go to lunch. So they're writing the jokes and shit,
and you know, hear something funny, you won't you say this? Like?
Can I use that? Put it in? So Paul says,
(26:44):
you can do this. I'm like, man, I can't, you
know right, I can't spell and I can't fucking type.
So he said, well, I'll type your jokes up for
you and I'll send them to our senio. So I
wrote some jokes and sent in our citio and I'm
in Kentucky and Paul calls me on the phone. He says,
our senior was gonna do your joke tonight. I'm like what,
So he did the joke. Now I'm gonna tell you
the joke. Just trust me. This is twenty years ago,
(27:06):
so the ship might not be funny now, right, okay,
so prepare yourself. Don't be like, that's the fucking joke
right way. That the joke was LaToya Jackson did a
spread and Playboy magazine, right, So I wrote a joke
(27:26):
where Arsenio says, y'all heard about Latinia Jackson just spreading
and playboar magazine to be popular, and Arsenio says, I
want to be popular too, but I don't want to
be butt assnicking on a Harley Davidson. Okay, back then
that was funny as fun right now, I filled the room.
(27:48):
But I told y'all before I said it then it
wasn't gonna be ship the other joke, because I remember
the LaToya spread, Harley. It was a spreading. It was
a spread, a crossing.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
You weren't seeing no assitated magazine.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes you wor yes you work.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, I know I ain't saying like you wasn't, but
I'm like, it was like it was fascinating.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That was the Instagram. The magazine was the Instagram. Back
what I'm saying now, it's on your phone as on
your mad somewhere. No, you didn't have to do that.
They had ass magazines where they didn't even put no articles.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It was just that, yeah, you had.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Dum like get.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was like back then, I looked.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
I was like, man, the old nigga he talked about
what you would h rabbling.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
That word. I was like, na, like you nobody.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
My first Playboy magazine was China from from the Always
Got Day The Strongest.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I'm like China, I'm like that, you go.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I just can't forget that's the first one.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
He was like, I got some funny son.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It was the more niggave interest in there. It wasn't
just strong. Yeah, it's a lot more. You didn't got
to do movies, TV, radio, Internet, what's what's yours?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Cruises? What's your favorite ship? Out of all of the radio? Yeah,
everybody the radio, radio, radio, man radio. I mean when
I did the show with Tim Johner, I was living
in l A. So that meant the show came on
at six o'clock. Tom was living in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I'm in l A. That means I gotta be in
my seat at three o'clock in the morning, right three
o'clock in the morning. And and you got to be
wide open.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The other thing is a lot of comics who do
stand up they can't do radio. They just once that
might cut something, because you gotta know, radio is like
we going the commercial in a minute, motherfucker. What you
got to say? You got to get in and get out.
And so by doing that show, it made me, you know,
really good on the show. Radio is the best. There's
(30:23):
nothing like radio, nothing like but this is this is
a former radio. You can do and say whatever it
is you want this just change the game and then
it change the game. You can do this in your home.
You don't need you don't need a studio to okay
for you to get out and meet the masses anymore. Yeah.
So yeah, radio for me is the best bill your audience.
Build your authentic audience with your boys. That's why we're here.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well, we're fucking here, man, We're here, man, we're here.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'm telling you we.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Appreciate you know every time we had like icons and legends.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Man, we appreciate everything you did in game. And that
that what paying dudes is when we.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Recognize people that did it before us. Like we understand
the social media. We understand social media.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I gotta give you flowers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
We understand how social media is here.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So we got to use that to our advantage.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But once you're labeled a comedian earned, you have to
earn it.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That shit not giving. You just can't be like, I'm
a comedian.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
That sh that sh was it was that was labeled
on me.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Me, I don't know. I didn't know what it was.
It was my calling.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
But before I had them say I accepted, I gotta
go work for it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Once I worked for it, I would like let me
get that.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, because now I see that, I see that, I
see the pace.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
But it's fun and the artwork.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So everything you've done it helps you, know what I'm saying,
broke down barriers for for guys like me.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That was the thing when I first started, when I
when I would move to l A. You know, when
you and the same thing everybody probably has that you
meet somebody who's been in the game longer than you.
You don't want money from him, or maybe you might
want some money from motherfucker. You just want a friend
or somebody to say, hey, I did this and I
did it like that, And that's the knowledge in terms
(32:12):
of the game that will help you a lot. But
sometimes you're not gonna get that until other comedians accept
you as being funny. Now they might not say shit
to you. You go up and be funny. Now you're
in the click. But if you ain't funny, they ain't
fucking with your You ain't any you.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
You ain't any click.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Say you go on stage and improve yourself and rip
that motherfucker up, and I would bomb. So I would
like to play. I remember I did a show at
Rodney Daniel Fields in New York I was gonna take
a TV show the next day. So I go up
and the guy said, we're gonna put you on the
first show. So I'm going on the first show. A bomb,
(32:52):
I mean really fucking bomb. I mean, like like I
even just thinking about the ship right now. She heard
it comes back. So he said, well, maybe you shouldn't
go first, you go on second show. You should be
up second. So I go up second, bomb again. He said, well,
I think what you do is just stronger than with
(33:13):
everybody else. You need to close the show.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Got tell.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I bombed again. Man, But those three bombs. By the
time I did the TV show, I was ready because
I bombed three times that I ain't gonna bomb for
fucking so that. But it makes you a comedian. That
bombing makes you. You know, it's it's a hurting. You
gotta bring that dog.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
You gotta be a dog.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
You gotta see.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You got to know that that's capable, it's possible.
Speaker 3 (33:41):

They want to watch you. Who's funny to you? Who
you like? I mean what you mean? Your favorite comics? Oh?
Ship is too many of the name got to name

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Mike Epps, she live like in person, He like one
of the best live.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
In person, like in person some more is like technically
one of the best comedians women.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Absolutely, he's a he's a he's a threat, he's a killer.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
You know who I think is underrated? Though? T K. Kirkley,
the mother his name supposed to come up in them
type of conversations Robert to Tony Robin, Robert Damn Tommy Davison, Dominique, Dominique, Yeah, yeah,
(46:53):
I love that all of them.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Dominique boy, she.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
She is she a sleeper at that back. Corey one
of the funniest to you don't want to yea Lorel,
he go stupid r don't want to be the thing about.
(47:18):
I mean, this is gonna be around, especially with Ship
doing bad like it is. Yeah, comedy is gonna be big, man.
People need to laugh, don't want to last.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Good people like the press come last.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
And people watching you know, the Kings like you said,
and Deal and Steve.
Speaker 5 (47:37):
But like you said, it's we like different people for
different reasons, right, And that's that's one of my favorite
elements of the comedy that like you used to love
to see like how Ship like how the original, like
you love to hear motherfuckers come from somewhere else, and
like Hamburger was funny because he talked like a motherfucker
from the Deep South, and you know he had his
(48:00):
niche and ship like that. It's like you get what
I'm saying, just for him to be able to sell
that ship and make like.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Work and it worked to another nigga. He especially when
you you're a student.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
You're like, and did he get that ship to work?
And it's like you just got to find it? That
ain't joice Martin lawns oh Man. Yeah, I did the
warm ups on this. She used to drop them. God
damn platinum hits every couple of years, like Bigger and
Blacker and.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
Bring the Pain and all that ship man, that's what
he was in his bag, right black man.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yeah. And when when the market show came on the end,
I don't know your special television, they would have a pilot.
You need a pilot. So it was three pilots, and
I did the warm up for three of them. Robert
Towman had a pilot by the radio show, and then
there was another pilot about a show where this white
guy comes to a black radio station. That show actually
got on it and then I did the Martin pilot.
(48:57):
I knew the minute I did that that Martin was
gonna get picked up. You knew it was gonna go.
There was no doubt that his show was gonna get
picked up. And that show was so fucking funny man,
absolutely not one of the best heard about doing a
woman being behind the scenes. Martin never did won Three
Takes You know, like if you've been on the sets
(49:20):
sometimes Mother could do forty and fifty takes, and you're
gonna man ship when it's funny. Yeah, the joke is gune.
Martin would do only three tops and they said, let's
do it again. Martin said, we ain't doing it no more,
moving on and you already got it. It was already funny.
So you're gonna joke out by doing the ship over.
(49:41):
I mean, I've been on the sets. What they make
you do it over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
That was a movie, nigga.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, it forced them to take what you want them
to take. They watching them keep doing this ship. That's fire.
That was a good show to do.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, damn it the prime like.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Talk about with comedy. With comedy, we comedies are live
now because we love the art. Like if we didn't
love the art, it is just it'll be floating.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
I think it's I mean, you guys, y'all selling our ship.
It's an audience for it. I mean, it's an audience.
The audience is there. You just gotta find your niche,
you know. And the people who talking ship about, well,
they didn't pay the dues and you know this is
what I was about to ask you, how did you
find the money in comedy? The money found me, Come on,
(50:33):
the money found me because I would go to New
York and first of all, New York comics would come
down in Atlanta and they were like, well my Hispanic time,
they ain't get hit yeah on the subway. Now this Atlanta,
(50:56):
we ain't got no somewhere. I would go up to
New York to work, and I was amazed that you
could work in New York, New York, in Texas and California.
You could be up there for a month doing a
little short. Boston, especially Boston was a serious comedy club
care because it was all college kids, so you could play.
(51:16):
You could open one place, get in the car, go
to another place, be in the middle, and then go
in another place and close and you'll come home at
six seven hundred dollars. So I didn't know that money
exists until I got out there. Like I gove across
country from Atlanta to Texas. I worked out there month.
There was so many clubs. Well what well, what I
found out was that these clubs existed, but it was
(51:38):
all white, all white comics. So by the time black
comics and we were funny. We would kick ass, you
know we would. We were kicking these white boys ass.
There was no doubt in our mind that we were
the funniest. Mother. I worked the show on time, Like
could you could you close the show? I'm like, fuck, no,
I ain't closing shit. You had Atlanta, right, So once
(52:00):
I found out that there were other places to work,
Like I said, the money found me right on. That's red.
I like that, right, That's how it worked. Well, come on, man,
you gotta tell us about the club. Now, you gotta
tell us about the JA spot that crack. Hell, yeah,
(52:21):
you get paid. Hell I got paid.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
You you paid?
Speaker 1 (52:28):
You did yeah sotand you gave me about eleven bottles
of he paid you hit? Why you let me? Why
you wasn't paying the comics. I paid the comics. Now
you want of that, nigga. I was because I was
(52:57):
doing comedy nights all over l A. I will open
door night night. Then I would have to go do
the road, you know, to make some decent money. And
then by the time I come back, the club owner
done took the night. Or we're gonna do it ourselves.
We're gonna book it ourselves and we don't, we don't
need you no more. We're gonna do our own night.
So that would happen. I'm like, fuck it. I'm gonna
just open my own club on my own comedy club.
(53:17):
So I opened the club called the J Spot. And
when I opened it, I didn't I did it all backwards.
I learned a lot of shit now from what I did. Now,
I would never open another mother club. Never. But I
applause to anybody or what I really hate about LA?
What I really hated my LA since my club club.
Like at this particular time, there is not a black
on comedy club in Los Angeles. And you go through
(53:40):
some of these comic clubs, it's nothing but niggas in
the audience. But there's not a black comedy club. And
what the white clubs were doing there and have a
Negro Knight, they have Negro Knight, Colored Knight, black comics only,
and that's sustained well black comedy to get on stage.
But there should be a black on comedy club. Gonna
open the motherfucker up, but somebody needs to open one.
(54:04):
What was what? What turns you are from? He said,
you never do it again.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
I never made any money.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
I paid. I paid help, you know, I you know
I paid my help. I paid comics for comics. But
not only that, the problem for me is the big
name comics would not come. They wouldn't come. They wouldn't come.
And you'll find that when when you do ship people,
you know they won't support you. That's just the way
(54:32):
we are, man time. What a black man to do
is support another black man what he is. If he's
selling sandwiches, you know, agents selling more chicken than negroes.
They sell them more chicken and fish than we do
because that's where we go. So when you open a
black comedy club, they wouldn't come. I could. I'm not
gonna name them, but I can name the people who
did who did come. Steve never came to my club.
(54:56):
He never set foot in my club. Tom Jordan never
set foot in my club. Cat Winnings came. He ain't
gonna stay. But I meant you wanted them to just
show up. He can't, you know, But a lot of
(55:20):
comedy didn't come with a lot of hippy comes. And
that's the depth from black comedy. For me. It's the
names I couldn't get, and that's fucked up because It's
like that wasn't no like real bad area airport ship
they were shooting up in. Yeah, yeah, I was not.
Speaker 3 (55:45):
Just a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Like a couple of times and you always.
Speaker 8 (55:48):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
And you was a place to where motherfuckers would come
out and they would tape some ship. You could run
your ship up there. You know what I'm saying. You
You could go hit the spot and your one of
the spots that people always put you on. I got
you spoted the Jayson, I got your spider this Thursday. Yeah, man, Yeah,
I think the fact I think the one of the
(56:12):
problems for me was I couldn't be at the club
to sustain the club. I had to work the road,
pay the bills and ship like that. And I won't
tell anybody if you're going to own a business, you
gotta be in that motherfucker be there. You selling fish.
You gotta be at the fish shop every damn day.
You can't let your mama, your cousin, your uncle, you know,
(56:32):
Lee Roy, nobody. You got to be there because you
learn more ship while you there. Because people are gonna steal,
They will steal from your ass, they will steal you know.
The help still more than any day. It ain't the customers,
it's the help, right you mind, Chicken, You're like, shit,
we look at my Chicken receipts. I ain't sol that much, Chicken.
It's walking at the fucking door. And you will only
(56:52):
find that if you that every damn day. Yeah you see,
you don't have a business, you have a hobby. Damn
the Gate Show withn't it.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
That nigga was.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Still since I can't do your makeup. I only knew
because I was there every day. The niggas don't getting thick.
Take it back every day happen? What's next.
Speaker 6 (57:28):

Preying the cars back for the season ship Shout out

Proposed, and you can tell on their face they like ship.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Could like the Cowboy. Yeah, you're notorious for that ship.
He'll always say the wrong every city.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I like, I just like about.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I don't care. Yeah, you don't get I don't even
I'm gonna stay with them. We in Boston. He go
on stage and say, man, fuck the Patriots. You don't
have a team. Carola't have to shoot at about the hate.
I just hate the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I don't don't have to hate the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Because the Cowboy fans get so upset when you hate it.
You know, they take the ship personally. You know they lose.
You don't see them, you can't find them. They don't
talk to you nothing, they want to answer the phone. None
of that ship. So that's that's the part of the on.
The other teams don't even matter, the Lakers and the Cowboys.
I'm here for the hate and I live in l
(01:26):
not never said that ship less. I was in my club,
this ship on the street, like you being Arena he Lo,
I just turned up. I don't give it down.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't give you damn.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I guess that's how you have to be do that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But you know what, I kind of left that ship alone, man,
because you know, once five and lost this super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
It's not that I know support.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I've been watching from a fall, but I don't have
to be in that arena to hear lost.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You ain't got to remind that you know.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, it's because my buddy doesn't know. We know that
Ship does a joke by his cousin or something that
is gay, and he's the falcon fingy you're gonna win
the game. And then after half time he called him
up this man, fuck you nigga. When the nigga came
(02:15):
out of that get it damn damn crazy sometimes they do.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Dam but I cried over that game too.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It did it? It upset you down for me.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I literally in the car and I like three tens,
you know, like one till you like you trying to
blame it, like on the win, tell you like man
my alley that thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I'm like, real, this ship fun well. I mean, in
the last two years I really became a sports fan
because up into that I didn't know Ship about sports.
I had a French accept phrase that I could say
that would get me in a sports conversation. And this
goes out to anybody who don't know Ship about sports.
You got to have something to get you in the conversation,
(03:02):
right if you don't know Ship. So here was my
he was my fraid. Everybody talking.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What did I do?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He ran to for it and I don't know what
told me. So all you got to do is say
what about that big white boy from Kansas? It's always
a big white boy and everybody, I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Like, what about it?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I think I know you? Yeah, but now I watch it.
I love it. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
O g in the building.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Man, let me tell you something I've been doing going
on eleven years, me doing stand up professionally.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Great on the stage. Takes. They said it take ten years.
It takes. It takes.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But when I was watching it as a kid, like
I'm talking about like a kid.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
When coming you used to come on, and you used
to come on with your suits and ship like it.
Take a real.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Comedian to a host amongst other great comedians and keep
that crowd going. Yo Yo Yo yo Yo said when
you was on coming you it is one of my
favorite ones, especially especially when the hosting.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
When it comes like Rickish smiling.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah all ded Jay bruise Bruises, y'all did y'all did that?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Y'all here? That is so much fun, you know, to
do that. And but I think the big start for
me was Atlanta. I got my I got my break
in Atlanta, right, Yeah, there was a club, Yeah yeah, Atlanta,
Atlanta was I caught it. I caught the bus from Columbia,
South Carolina to come to Atlanta. And now at that time,
(04:35):
I'm staying at YMCA because the rooms were like maybe
twelve dollars a week or some shit like that. Get it.
I get a cab and the mother drive me all
round Atlanta, right, twenty five dollars. I'm like, I paid it,
got twenty dollars and I walk out the fucking hotel,
the bus station right across the goddamn street. Man, I
didn't know, so I didn't know. So I figured I'd
(04:57):
already had a degree in tailoring and that I started
out as a tailor to be I'm going to be
a designer. I'm gonna make clothes and stuff like that.
But I always loved comedy. So they had this place
called Mister b figure eight, I know, and they had
this show called it was called a Gong show. So
I go one night to perform. Now I didn't get
(05:19):
gone and Reona didn't get gone because I wasn't up
that long. Now I did one joke, and so he
gave me dumb as a host, and being the host
allowed me to work on my crowd every day. So
(05:40):
by the time I went to l A or by
the time I went on the road, I was ready,
you know. And that's that's the difference in terms of
what comedy is today. First of all, the game and
changed the game, change the Internet and changed the rules
still apply, you still apply. The game changed in terms
of you can do this here you're doing and reach
(06:01):
a million motherfuckers where you probably never perform in front
of a million monthract. And so when I hear people
talking about, well they just internet comics and they don't
have a show, Well they got a crowd, you don't.
And who the fuck are these people going around? Well
they didn't pay their dudes. Who the fuck is collecting
these dudes that people talk about.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
In the ground dude?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, but what are the dudes? Yeah, because it's a
different avenue now, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I mean if you a real student of the game,
there are some dudes that you had to win. They
mean like sweat, you know what I'm saying, time dedication.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
The dude don't have to pay their money game, yeah,
you know what I'm saying. And they never really get
out there and do the stand up thing. But they
still got crowds coming out, you know what I'm saying.
Some people don't respect it, like motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And the older crowd just got to understand they're molding
their crowd when they come out because the people that
come out ain't like worrying about They kind of fans
of them already on social media.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So they kind of expect a little bit of what
they do on social media.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So if he give us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Something extra, that just that just adds to the point
you win.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But if we already give us something that we have seen,
you don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Sometimes you do a show and if you don't do
the ship they see, they upset. Now that's what I saw.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That ain't what I want.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You might you might have been alright in this era though,
because all you had to do was to watch out.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But no, I don't think I think the dudes are
just you know, just to swear in the time, especially
when like when y'all had to be labeled a comedian.
That's kind of like a fraternity stamp because y'all technically
did had.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
To go through a lot to even be called the comedian.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You may be funny, but you ain't no comedian, right,
you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You might saying some funny before, but you ain't no
to be label a comedian is honest.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know. You gotta know that.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And you was the comedian for us, brocause a lot
of us roll to school with you. Well, you ain't
had no choice because you're gonna put what I'm saying,
but you'm on the show. You would be the ship
gonna sit in the back. See you're gonna listen to
you turn yeah, look out. But you would be the
reason that I'd be like what he gonna say? You
know what I'm saying, because we be and I'm not bragging.
(08:35):
When the time Jo on the show was on the end,
there was no show better than what we did, not
what we wouldn't have your word, I mean, you had
so many elements of the show. It's your word on Melvin,
come on, come on, George Wallace when his ass will
come on the show, Tavis smilet Free. So the elements
(08:59):
of the show so many, and it was that you listen,
you know, it was just it was just a great show.
Nothing there was nothing that could be us. Now Steve
was a bigger show. But I think the time John
the show is better. Show man.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
How did y'all build your fan base back in the day,
Like when there wasn't no internet, It.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wasn't no apps to get on. They wore cooking your
tickets to your comedy clubs that that already existed. By
the time I got into comedy, there was there was
the improv, there was there was always a club that
had some funny ass name like he He Ship like that,
you know, and they already had an audience because white
(10:00):
comics have been working for years in these clubs. Like
when I went to New York, I was surprised the
size of the audience that you know, they were already there.
So you had to learn how to navigate what you
were doing from the South as a black comedian into
a white club. So by the time you switch over
to all black clubs, all you know is how to
relate to white people. So that ship, they will let
(10:22):
you know right away that that ship ain't funny. And
and the worst thing for a comedian is you're gonna
learn if you get booed. You're gonna learn if you
get booed, you're gonna learn if you have a bad set.
And what you might do here might not work that night,
but did you go to some place next night that
should have worked? In reality? If we're all comedians, the
funniest thing for comedians is to watch another motherfucker bomb.
(10:46):
There's nothing funny like damn.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I make the crowd talking to you man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Starting no moment. Take you out of that rules to
bomba the trip words, to come out of Bamba's law.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That crazy cra.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Crazy. So what y'all want to talk about? Give it up?
Give it up on the lad one, y'all don't get
it now, we got it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We heard, we heard you ain't working.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The best ship be what motherfucker was doing? All right?
And they should have got the off. Yeah, they got that,
Ladd And didn't you know you got laugh to do it?
It will make them thinks. I've seen Ralphie made. He
did the time doing a cruise and he was doing
(11:56):
good and somehow I don't know. In the after his man,
and he said you need it. And when he said
that on the top joined the cool cruise and he
did people man, and now he don't with me. Never
to get boot on the boat. You don't step on.
(12:21):
You got to see them, see the people, you know.
He eating like two threats black in the morning because
he don't want to face nobody in the park. I said, no, man,
don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Come back
the next night and do it again, do it again.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Again, because he said you what was he bombing?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And just said ship. I think I don't know what
then happened doing man, But he got boot twice. He
just wanted to try. He just wanted to see he
can do it. Why come kind of too so crossed
over into a black audience. They think it's almost that
they can say anything. Then there's a certain amount of
ship you can say. But then there's some ship you
can't say that, and they'll let you know what what
(13:06):
be lucky. He just got to see these people again.
Man on vacation drunk in the song bitch.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Man, I seen that when I was hosting throwbacks I've
seen this dude.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I can't even say he was a comedian. He bombed
so bad that this nigga started requesting people certain people
listening to his joke. I'm talking to the grown people.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Don't talking to the bron man.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
The grown people's boring ship that if you if you've
ever been booed, I had a bad set, it's worse.
It's worse than the death in your feeling. Man. You
you feel that because it's like it seemed like the
drive home two days that should have made you not
want to do that ship no more. You're like, man,

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, ego, that's my work. Yeah, put it all on. Okay,
you do that. I do that. Yeah, if it's too big,

(20:43):
did I get my own T shirt? Nig stupid? Yeah? Yeah,
I give her own T shirty teaching peppers. Do know
that was not hot? That's just that's really good, really
really good. What made you get in the hot sauce business?
Because when I want to do the club, my son said,
(21:04):
you know, once you come up with something that you
could give the club. If the thing about clubs back
in the day was if the if the if the
help like you, they would they would suggest that you
come back right. So if you treat the help right,
they said, what you bring back such and such. So
I found this company in Florida that would make take
you know, your recipes or whatever you want to and
(21:24):
they're making your own Laby's called private labeling, you know,
which I always encourage anybody to do. If you're doing
T shirts or whatever, you can put your name on anything,
hot chicken, whatever. It's called private labeling. So you just
look for what it is you want to sell and
you find a company that will do private labeling, and
they'll put your name on it and they'll make it
for you. And either they either you send it out yourself.
(21:46):
So I found this hot sauce company, so Hot Sauce Sam,
and they made me about four flavors. But the first
one was it's called Hotter than the Mofo and it's
really fucking hot. I mean I didn't even bring that way.
That was really hot. So we would go to these
hot sauce shows. A lot of people don't know because
they have a hot Sauce show. It be four or
five thousand people that easily tasting it hot sauce, like
(22:10):
Hot Sauce Convention as a hot sauce Yeah, but they
eat it and like and like got it ship It'll
burn your hands. But they'd be like, yeah, it's got
some flighting.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
So I went.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I went to the Hot sau show and nobody came
to my table. Nobody came to my table, and so
I said, fucking I got my buddy to make this
costume for me, the Mofo Man. The next year, I
sold so much funking Hot Sauce Man, because everybody wanted
to take a picture. And that's what selling is. It's
pretty much with that suit on, Yeah, I'm making my
(22:51):
whole Hey man, get off this nuts you know yea,
hold my nuts right man, nuts around.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I don't even want to talk.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
And I'm over here here, I'm already another.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Eminem. Okay, okay, but what is he right here? That's
that's my wine. Put the house on it. That's my one.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Who you boy, it's not finish?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
TikTok? How long you've been doing I started the first
time I went on stage, first time I ever went
on stage. That bomb so fucking bad. First time I
went on stage, I was eighteen years old. My next birthday,
I'll be seventy three.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Comebo, have your power, your pier.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But the game it's changed so much about fifty five years, yes, sir, Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's been great for me. I mean I've
been Blackie. I wrote on the Our Senior Hall. I
wrote for Steve Holley, I wrote for Simbad, I wrote
for George. I wrote on Robert Townsend Show. But I
(24:12):
mean even terms with Steve. Steve and I we met
each other in Lafayette, Louisiana. Neither one of us was
doing shit, so we just hooked up and became friends.
He gets his show, and he stood up for me.
He really didn't. He said it was another guy by
the name of Raean McDonald. Look you heard her name,
I know you know. Ra Sean and so Steve were
in the office and Steve said, I'm gonna do the show.
(24:34):
The show is called Me and the Boys. He said,
I'm gonna do the show, but if you don't take
these two guys, then I'm not gonna do the show.
And he didn't have to do that. Now he had
fired me three times. But fuck that. He gave me.
He gave me a shot as a writer on the show.
And that was a big move for us. That was
I mean, that changed the game to write because I'd
(24:54):
already been writing jokes for our senior but to write
as a writer on the show, that changed the game.
And that was because of Steve. Yeah. Yeah, he did
us all the solid man. So shout out to Steve. Yeah. So,
how did you transition? For like you said, you tell
your first fifteen.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
In the white, white crowd and then now you started
to see the black club.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
How did you transit?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
It was a It was a rough transition. It was
a lot. I would go to the comedy theater and
it'd be all black audience and and I would use
the phrase you how you guys doing, and they're like, Nigga,
who the are you calling you guys? It was it
was a learning process. It was a learning process and
(25:37):
the respect. Yeah as a black comedian, you'll you'll see
all black audiences now when you didn't see when the Yeah,
so I had to learn how to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Why did that comeing?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Because everybody just can't get that job, that hosting gi
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Take us through the process when it was like, it
wasn't an audition.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Did they call your phone?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Captain Hughes, who was in charge of Comic View, would
come on the Tom Jones Show, and I asked her
what they're looking for a host because they would change
hosts each season. And so that's how I got the job.
A lot of the times I got ship was luck
or being in the right place at the right time.
You know. The way I got on the Arsenior Hall
(26:21):
Show was our senior at that time had two writers.
You only had two writers. One one by the name
of Paul playing Barry. I can't remember his name, but
I'm in Hollywood. He said, man, come over for lunch.
We're gonna write to my law and then we can
go to lunch. So they're writing the jokes and shit,
and you know, hear something funny, you won't you say this? Like?
Can I use that? Put it in? So Paul says,
(26:44):
you can do this. I'm like, man, I can't, you
know right, I can't spell and I can't fucking type.
So he said, well, I'll type your jokes up for
you and I'll send them to our senio. So I
wrote some jokes and sent in our citio and I'm
in Kentucky and Paul calls me on the phone. He says,
our senior was gonna do your joke tonight. I'm like what,
So he did the joke. Now I'm gonna tell you
the joke. Just trust me. This is twenty years ago,
(27:06):
so the ship might not be funny now, right, okay,
so prepare yourself. Don't be like, that's the fucking joke
right way. That the joke was LaToya Jackson did a
spread and Playboy magazine, right, So I wrote a joke
(27:26):
where Arsenio says, y'all heard about Latinia Jackson just spreading
and playboar magazine to be popular, and Arsenio says, I
want to be popular too, but I don't want to
be butt assnicking on a Harley Davidson. Okay, back then
that was funny as fun right now, I filled the room.
(27:48):
But I told y'all before I said it then it
wasn't gonna be ship the other joke, because I remember
the LaToya spread, Harley. It was a spreading. It was
a spread, a crossing.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
You weren't seeing no assitated magazine.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes you wor yes you work.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, I know I ain't saying like you wasn't, but
I'm like, it was like it was fascinating.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That was the Instagram. The magazine was the Instagram. Back
what I'm saying now, it's on your phone as on
your mad somewhere. No, you didn't have to do that.
They had ass magazines where they didn't even put no articles.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It was just that, yeah, you had.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Dum like get.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was like back then, I looked.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
I was like, man, the old nigga he talked about
what you would h rabbling.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
That word. I was like, na, like you nobody.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
My first Playboy magazine was China from from the Always
Got Day The Strongest.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I'm like China, I'm like that, you go.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I just can't forget that's the first one.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
He was like, I got some funny son.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It was the more niggave interest in there. It wasn't
just strong. Yeah, it's a lot more. You didn't got
to do movies, TV, radio, Internet, what's what's yours?
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Cruises? What's your favorite ship? Out of all of the radio? Yeah,
everybody the radio, radio, radio, man radio. I mean when
I did the show with Tim Johner, I was living
in l A. So that meant the show came on
at six o'clock. Tom was living in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I'm in l A. That means I gotta be in
my seat at three o'clock in the morning, right three
o'clock in the morning. And and you got to be
wide open.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The other thing is a lot of comics who do
stand up they can't do radio. They just once that
might cut something, because you gotta know, radio is like
we going the commercial in a minute, motherfucker. What you
got to say? You got to get in and get out.
And so by doing that show, it made me, you know,
really good on the show. Radio is the best. There's
(30:23):
nothing like radio, nothing like but this is this is
a former radio. You can do and say whatever it
is you want this just change the game and then
it change the game. You can do this in your home.
You don't need you don't need a studio to okay
for you to get out and meet the masses anymore. Yeah.
So yeah, radio for me is the best bill your audience.
Build your authentic audience with your boys. That's why we're here.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well, we're fucking here, man, We're here, man, we're here.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'm telling you we.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Appreciate you know every time we had like icons and legends.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Man, we appreciate everything you did in game. And that
that what paying dudes is when we.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Recognize people that did it before us. Like we understand
the social media. We understand social media.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I gotta give you flowers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
We understand how social media is here.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So we got to use that to our advantage.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But once you're labeled a comedian earned, you have to
earn it.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That shit not giving. You just can't be like, I'm
a comedian.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
That sh that sh was it was that was labeled
on me.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Me, I don't know. I didn't know what it was.
It was my calling.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
But before I had them say I accepted, I gotta
go work for it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Once I worked for it, I would like let me
get that.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, because now I see that, I see that, I
see the pace.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
But it's fun and the artwork.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So everything you've done it helps you, know what I'm saying,
broke down barriers for for guys like me.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That was the thing when I first started, when I
when I would move to l A. You know, when
you and the same thing everybody probably has that you
meet somebody who's been in the game longer than you.
You don't want money from him, or maybe you might
want some money from motherfucker. You just want a friend
or somebody to say, hey, I did this and I
did it like that, And that's the knowledge in terms
(32:12):
of the game that will help you a lot. But
sometimes you're not gonna get that until other comedians accept
you as being funny. Now they might not say shit
to you. You go up and be funny. Now you're
in the click. But if you ain't funny, they ain't
fucking with your You ain't any you.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
You ain't any click.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Say you go on stage and improve yourself and rip
that motherfucker up, and I would bomb. So I would
like to play. I remember I did a show at
Rodney Daniel Fields in New York I was gonna take
a TV show the next day. So I go up
and the guy said, we're gonna put you on the
first show. So I'm going on the first show. A bomb,
(32:52):
I mean really fucking bomb. I mean, like like I
even just thinking about the ship right now. She heard
it comes back. So he said, well, maybe you shouldn't
go first, you go on second show. You should be
up second. So I go up second, bomb again. He said, well,
I think what you do is just stronger than with
(33:13):
everybody else. You need to close the show.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Got tell.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I bombed again. Man, But those three bombs. By the
time I did the TV show, I was ready because
I bombed three times that I ain't gonna bomb for
fucking so that. But it makes you a comedian. That
bombing makes you. You know, it's it's a hurting. You
gotta bring that dog.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
You gotta be a dog.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
You gotta see.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You got to know that that's capable, it's possible.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
So you gotta go out there and be like on
your ship.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
That drive home after a bomb? MANO bomb or it

Speaker 3 (44:31):

But the way you made it look so likely that

I watched that. I watched it twice. I can't I

Speaker 2 (45:16):
I got to Absolutely now, we just ain't just watching
it just because you just fascinated with you.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Lady's watching me. I ain't doing that.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Hell no, you go look at me.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
That's I'm on TV. I try to avoid me as
much as possible.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
Sometime they come to the crib.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
They want to watch you. Who's funny to you? Who
you like? I mean what you mean? Your favorite comics? Oh?
Ship is too many of the name got to name
saying burning me top number one, number one all time.
But I like a lot of them a different reason. Yeah,
you see what I'm saying. You one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Mike Epps, she live like in person, He like one
of the best live.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
In person, like in person some more is like technically
one of the best comedians women.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Absolutely, he's a he's a he's a threat, he's a killer.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
You know who I think is underrated? Though? T K. Kirkley,
the mother his name supposed to come up in them
type of conversations Robert to Tony Robin, Robert Damn Tommy Davison, Dominique, Dominique, Yeah, yeah,
(46:53):
I love that all of them.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Dominique boy, she.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
She is she a sleeper at that back. Corey one
of the funniest to you don't want to yea Lorel,
he go stupid r don't want to be the thing about.
(47:18):
I mean, this is gonna be around, especially with Ship
doing bad like it is. Yeah, comedy is gonna be big, man.
People need to laugh, don't want to last.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Good people like the press come last.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
And people watching you know, the Kings like you said,
and Deal and Steve.
Speaker 5 (47:37):
But like you said, it's we like different people for
different reasons, right, And that's that's one of my favorite
elements of the comedy that like you used to love
to see like how Ship like how the original, like
you love to hear motherfuckers come from somewhere else, and
like Hamburger was funny because he talked like a motherfucker
from the Deep South, and you know he had his
(48:00):
niche and ship like that. It's like you get what
I'm saying, just for him to be able to sell
that ship and make like.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Work and it worked to another nigga. He especially when
you you're a student.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
You're like, and did he get that ship to work?
And it's like you just got to find it? That
ain't joice Martin lawns oh Man. Yeah, I did the
warm ups on this. She used to drop them. God
damn platinum hits every couple of years, like Bigger and
Blacker and.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
Bring the Pain and all that ship man, that's what
he was in his bag, right black man.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yeah. And when when the market show came on the end,
I don't know your special television, they would have a pilot.
You need a pilot. So it was three pilots, and
I did the warm up for three of them. Robert
Towman had a pilot by the radio show, and then
there was another pilot about a show where this white
guy comes to a black radio station. That show actually
got on it and then I did the Martin pilot.
(48:57):
I knew the minute I did that that Martin was
gonna get picked up. You knew it was gonna go.
There was no doubt that his show was gonna get
picked up. And that show was so fucking funny man,
absolutely not one of the best heard about doing a
woman being behind the scenes. Martin never did won Three
Takes You know, like if you've been on the sets
(49:20):
sometimes Mother could do forty and fifty takes, and you're
gonna man ship when it's funny. Yeah, the joke is gune.
Martin would do only three tops and they said, let's
do it again. Martin said, we ain't doing it no more,
moving on and you already got it. It was already funny.
So you're gonna joke out by doing the ship over.
(49:41):
I mean, I've been on the sets. What they make
you do it over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
That was a movie, nigga.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, it forced them to take what you want them
to take. They watching them keep doing this ship. That's fire.
That was a good show to do.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, damn it the prime like.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Talk about with comedy. With comedy, we comedies are live
now because we love the art. Like if we didn't
love the art, it is just it'll be floating.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
I think it's I mean, you guys, y'all selling our ship.
It's an audience for it. I mean, it's an audience.
The audience is there. You just gotta find your niche,
you know. And the people who talking ship about, well,
they didn't pay the dues and you know this is
what I was about to ask you, how did you
find the money in comedy? The money found me, Come on,
(50:33):
the money found me because I would go to New
York and first of all, New York comics would come
down in Atlanta and they were like, well my Hispanic time,
they ain't get hit yeah on the subway. Now this Atlanta,
(50:56):
we ain't got no somewhere. I would go up to
New York to work, and I was amazed that you
could work in New York, New York, in Texas and California.
You could be up there for a month doing a
little short. Boston, especially Boston was a serious comedy club
care because it was all college kids, so you could play.
(51:16):
You could open one place, get in the car, go
to another place, be in the middle, and then go
in another place and close and you'll come home at
six seven hundred dollars. So I didn't know that money
exists until I got out there. Like I gove across
country from Atlanta to Texas. I worked out there month.
There was so many clubs. Well what well, what I
found out was that these clubs existed, but it was
(51:38):
all white, all white comics. So by the time black
comics and we were funny. We would kick ass, you
know we would. We were kicking these white boys ass.
There was no doubt in our mind that we were
the funniest. Mother. I worked the show on time, Like
could you could you close the show? I'm like, fuck, no,
I ain't closing shit. You had Atlanta, right, So once
(52:00):
I found out that there were other places to work,
Like I said, the money found me right on. That's red.
I like that, right, That's how it worked. Well, come on, man,
you gotta tell us about the club. Now, you gotta
tell us about the JA spot that crack. Hell, yeah,
(52:21):
you get paid. Hell I got paid.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
You you paid?
Speaker 1 (52:28):
You did yeah sotand you gave me about eleven bottles
of he paid you hit? Why you let me? Why
you wasn't paying the comics. I paid the comics. Now
you want of that, nigga. I was because I was
(52:57):
doing comedy nights all over l A. I will open
door night night. Then I would have to go do
the road, you know, to make some decent money. And
then by the time I come back, the club owner
done took the night. Or we're gonna do it ourselves.
We're gonna book it ourselves and we don't, we don't
need you no more. We're gonna do our own night.
So that would happen. I'm like, fuck it. I'm gonna
just open my own club on my own comedy club.
(53:17):
So I opened the club called the J Spot. And
when I opened it, I didn't I did it all backwards.
I learned a lot of shit now from what I did. Now,
I would never open another mother club. Never. But I
applause to anybody or what I really hate about LA?
What I really hated my LA since my club club.
Like at this particular time, there is not a black
on comedy club in Los Angeles. And you go through
(53:40):
some of these comic clubs, it's nothing but niggas in
the audience. But there's not a black comedy club. And
what the white clubs were doing there and have a
Negro Knight, they have Negro Knight, Colored Knight, black comics only,
and that's sustained well black comedy to get on stage.
But there should be a black on comedy club. Gonna
open the motherfucker up, but somebody needs to open one.
(54:04):
What was what? What turns you are from? He said,
you never do it again.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
I never made any money.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
I paid. I paid help, you know, I you know
I paid my help. I paid comics for comics. But
not only that, the problem for me is the big
name comics would not come. They wouldn't come. They wouldn't come.
And you'll find that when when you do ship people,
you know they won't support you. That's just the way
(54:32):
we are, man time. What a black man to do
is support another black man what he is. If he's
selling sandwiches, you know, agents selling more chicken than negroes.
They sell them more chicken and fish than we do
because that's where we go. So when you open a
black comedy club, they wouldn't come. I could. I'm not
gonna name them, but I can name the people who
did who did come. Steve never came to my club.
(54:56):
He never set foot in my club. Tom Jordan never
set foot in my club. Cat Winnings came. He ain't
gonna stay. But I meant you wanted them to just
show up. He can't, you know, But a lot of
(55:20):
comedy didn't come with a lot of hippy comes. And
that's the depth from black comedy. For me. It's the
names I couldn't get, and that's fucked up because It's
like that wasn't no like real bad area airport ship
they were shooting up in. Yeah, yeah, I was not.
Speaker 3 (55:45):
Just a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Like a couple of times and you always.
Speaker 8 (55:48):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
And you was a place to where motherfuckers would come
out and they would tape some ship. You could run
your ship up there. You know what I'm saying. You
You could go hit the spot and your one of
the spots that people always put you on. I got
you spoted the Jayson, I got your spider this Thursday. Yeah, man, Yeah,
I think the fact I think the one of the
(56:12):
problems for me was I couldn't be at the club
to sustain the club. I had to work the road,
pay the bills and ship like that. And I won't
tell anybody if you're going to own a business, you
gotta be in that motherfucker be there. You selling fish.
You gotta be at the fish shop every damn day.
You can't let your mama, your cousin, your uncle, you know,
(56:32):
Lee Roy, nobody. You got to be there because you
learn more ship while you there. Because people are gonna steal,
They will steal from your ass, they will steal you know.
The help still more than any day. It ain't the customers,
it's the help, right you mind, Chicken, You're like, shit,
we look at my Chicken receipts. I ain't sol that much, Chicken.
It's walking at the fucking door. And you will only
(56:52):
find that if you that every damn day. Yeah you see,
you don't have a business, you have a hobby. Damn
the Gate Show withn't it.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
That nigga was.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Still since I can't do your makeup. I only knew
because I was there every day. The niggas don't getting thick.
Take it back every day happen? What's next.
Speaker 6 (57:28):
From this?
Speaker 1 (57:29):
Preying the cars back for the season ship Shout out
Tyler fray Man, shout out Tyler. I got sick. I
missed season four. I was sick. I was in the hospital,
and so I really thought they were going to replace me.
I just like you know, because TV will replace your
ads in a minute. It meant that like nothing, that
(57:51):
somebody so close to you. We got g Anthony Brown
play by George So I just said I missed the
whole season. They called me up and said, don't worry
about it. When season five come back, you'll be there.
They didn't have to do that, and I was surprised
that they did it that way. You know. He called
(58:12):
me up. He said, don't worrybody, get well, come back.
