No, I was just sitting there watching all them clips.
You almost got in like several different fights in here.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That's articulous. God, I was worried about.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I know it. But they was just showing all the
different clips, and everybody never wanted to fight. You was
like this close.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Who you think the one out of him? And Beanie?
That was the crazy sentiment, a.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Wait from each other right there right there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I've been in worse situations, man.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That is just hilarious. Though, I'm like, damn, what.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Makes you want to go back out on the road
so soon? I feel like y'all just ending this store.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Well, you know what, that's my thing that I see.
That's the thing about me. I never leave the people.
And that's because Hollywood is they don't trust me. One
hundred percent white men. Now, white people do not trust me, man,
And I've been I've been working on it for years.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Don't they trust you? No?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
You know, I don't know, man. You know, I feel
like I feel like I've always deserved bigger opportunities, but
I do be getting big opportunities, like.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You just did six seasons of a sitcom on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Man, I know what you're talking. I'm greedy.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
You want every show?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
What's bigger than I want? I want? I really want.
I want to be I want to be in some
more movies with white people because it means money. You
see me with if you catch me with a honkey,
the money gonna go up.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But you know, when you think about black.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Honkys, make your money go up.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Go ahead with that word.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
In a long time, when you think about black comedians,
it's not too many black comedians who had a hit sitcom.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm talking about sitcoms that have lasted.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know what I'm saying, There's only a few, like
you got The Cosby Show, you got a Stamford in the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Son right, Martin, Martin, Martin. I don't even know if
Bernie Mack Bernie season. I don't even know. God blessed dead.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
No, I don't know. I don't know. But I've been
a handful. Yeah, I've been blessed to do. I've been
blessed to uh still be in the business. And that's
how I stay in the business. Man. I never i'm I'm.
I wake up every day like I'm just now getting
in it, Like I'm I never got in it. I
never celebrate myself being in the business. I'm never bragging
(04:17):
or you know, I'm I'm. I'm always a fan still.
I'm always looking at the business from a fan's eyes.
Like if I look at the business from a fan's eye,
I ain't gonna never fall off because I know what
the fans like and what the fans want. And I'm
even judging myself like a fan too, like, oh, that
shit ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Bernie Mack and Jamie Fox have five seasons. You got six.
That's a big fucking deal. Man, The wains brother don't
know how many seasons they had. That's a big deal, bro.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
It is. It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And you're on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
On Netflix, that's a big deal. One of the hardest
platforms to get on and to be successful on. So
shout out to all to Netflix, you know, giving me
a test, surrander, giving me the opportunity and wind the
Sykes and kim Fields. You know, just a great team
of people, and that's that's the that's the key to succeeding.
(05:12):
You have to have a great team. And nobody's doing
this shit by theyself. You know, when you see somebody successful,
you can best believe it's a team behind them that
made them, that helped them prepare. You know.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Now you're going back out on the road. Yeah, with
the Ones comedy to a twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You didn't It feels like you just got off the road.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Right, How do you get a chance to create new material?
Because usually they say material comes from living life.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
If you always on the road, where's the material coming from?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I mean, if you look at the news, the ship
is just hanging off the tree. It's just low hanging fruit.
Every every day it's some new shit. And that's the
thing about being a real comedian. A real comedian ain't
sitting there writing shit. You Finnah, get it right off
the cuff, just like you catching me coming out to
both daggers, Damn Mike? Was that? And I say, some
fun That's that's a real comedian right there. We ain't
(06:03):
got a right. I ain't gotta right, ship, I ain't
got a right. You catch me walking down the street,
I'm gonna be funny. Catch me at the drug store,
I'm gonna be funny. You catch me wherever you catch
me at, I'm gonna be funny. And I just feel
like that's that's what I do. That's that's how I write.
And if you come and see me that night at
the comedy show, you're gonna hear some ship that happened
(06:25):
that day. I'm talking about it right on the stage,
and then I'm gonna make it funny, you know, so
I trust I trust my funny.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You were talking about the Honkeys, right.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Do you feel like Hollywood truly respects black comedy legends
the same way they do white ones, or that respects
something y'all still gotta fight for.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh yeah, we definitely. Let me tell you something. Man,
any anybody black, in any situation, you still gonna have
to fight. It's a fight. You know. I never seen
a race of people they quote unquote or success for
and still have to prove themselves. Never I ain't. I
(07:04):
don't see another race that has to still do it.
And you know, it's even harder for us because we're
doing it against each other. We are biggest competition each other.
I was looking at I was at the strip club.
This was years ago. Yeah, but I was at the
strip club. She got ways of being like this man. Yeah,
(07:32):
but but I was just in the strip club. I
was just thinking to myself, Man, these dudes are really
in here, uh uh, competing with each other throwing the money.
And they got another guy to come out, and it's
just a scenario for life. They got another guy to
come out at the strip club and throw money. And
then and then after you throw your money, he collect
(07:54):
all the money and take it back there to the
girls again. And that's what they that's how they get
you to throw money. They said, yeah, they got a
dude out there to throw the money. That's how Hollywood
is too, That's how show business is.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So somebody that starts it off it ain't even ain't
basically straight plant, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Damn.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So you still feel like you're proving, You're working to
prove things to people in your career at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, because you know, I was just I was just
listening to everybody talk about how bad of a movie
that was that Denzel and Spike Lee just did. Right.
They were just talking about, yeah, it wasn't a great movie,
and I'm like, damn literally when they were talking about it,
(08:39):
it damned that made you forget it that it was like, man,
Denzel was in that movie, Like, you know, it wasn't
a great movie. You damned never forgot about it everything
he did because you was focusing on the fact that
it wasn't a good movie, you know what I mean.
So one bad, one mistake in art culture can cause
(09:02):
you can cause people to not fuck with you, which
is weird as hell to me. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But what you said is true.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
They catch amnesia.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But what you said is true. We pushed, We'll push
the narrative.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, We'll go we'll go
so hard against against each other.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, and that's what And that's another I mean, you
know that's another reason why we're all great too as well.
We put the pressure that we have against each other.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's crazy when that's Mike earlier, he said, charlamage your after.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You on his ass.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
But see he but see you got a plant. The
platform that you guys have is it's unstoppable. It's a
whole lot different than coming inside of a church or
coming inside of a political arena. This is the this
is the real platform. It's people. Hell, yeah, you're touching everybody. Man.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know, I think about you, Mike do because you've
been in funny your whole life.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Man, because you've grown. What is being a comedian meaning
you now compared to when you first started.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
But when I first started, it was confused. It was
it was a disruption, you know what I mean when
I was when I was a kid. Because you never
seen black kids. You never see and you never will
see black kids in a in a career center talking
(10:35):
about they want to be a comedian. So if you
see a young black kid being a comedian, he's being disruptive.
They call that disruptive. Oh he's a disruptive. This is
the motherfuckers disruptive. But that's what I was. I'm a comedian,
you know, So a comedian career is not something that
(10:56):
you can go to college and go get They don't
teach it, and uh, you know in career class, this
is some shit that just happens, and you you, you know,
you take advantage of it. That's what I did. I
always been funny, but now this shit then became a business,
you know what I mean. So I gotta cut the
(11:18):
phony funny on and cut it off. I'm like, oh,
here come the money. I gotta do some business. Let
me cut that funny or let me trim it down
a little bit. I could still be funny, but I'm
doing business. Let me trim it down a little bit
so I can get the business done, you know. And
but I you know, I know how to turn it
on and off. When it's time to be funny, I'm funny.
(11:38):
When it's time to talk talk real shit, I'm gonna
talk real shit. And that's how I adjust my shit, man,
That's how adjust everything.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What's one thing that Mike Epps hates?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I know, there's always a Friday question I know there's
always a funnier than who who's not funny? Pass MEAs
what's one thing you hate discussing and talking about that
pisses you off.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I'm so tired of talking. I'm so tired of talking
about people, talking about other comedians and other artists. I'm
sick of that shit.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Gotrac of my questions.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Well, no, no, no. The reason why I said that
is because I'm like, it's just it's just running in
a circle, man, you know what I mean. It's like
I ain't got nothing to say about nobody at this point.
Matter of fact, I feel fucked up talking about something.
I'm so blessed. I feel fucked up talking negative about anybody,
(12:38):
you know what I mean. I don't have no room
to say nothing negative because I'm blessed. Now. If I
wasn't doing so great, maybe so, But man, I'm so blessed.
I don't find I don't have no room to talk
shit about nobody.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know, you bought a whole block, man, you understand, Like,
do you understand that's so many black people's dream to
buy a whole and they and they community where they're from.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Come on, man, No, it was in Indiana, though I wish,
I wish it was in La but I know, yeah,
more man, that ship is so boring.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Man, do that to yourself.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You know what though you don't stay on the sleep
the time.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, my son sleep in my room that I slept
in when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
And what's crazy is people still getting murdered in the
neighborhoods and niggas died in the alley and yeah, the
detectives knocking on the door. We didn't see your camera,
miss des, I said, Oh, man, I ain't got no
cameras around. Well you see the camera, I said, don't
none of that ship work. But it just goes to
show you that it just goes.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Tell nobody that.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Man, No, it just goes to show No, it worked.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But you know I'll get you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
But you know it just goes to show you, man
that nobody's paying If I could tell some of these stars,
some of these people that are famous, nobody's paying attention
to your mother fucking ass. That's another thing I hate.
I'm like some of these people are in delusion, Like
(14:19):
you're wasting fucking security money. Ain't nobody fucking thinking about you?
I wish I could just take a chart and just
show all the artists and just point at them and say,
ain't nobody think about your motherfucking ass. Ain't nobody think
about your motherfucking You can walk around by your goddamn
self and save your security money. You don't need no security.
(14:41):
People love you. Why do you have somebody around you
all the time. Because I walk around this motherfucker by myself.
I don't have no fucking security.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You never got punched in the back of the head, though,
se y'all ain't got punched in the head on camera
Mike twice.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Well yeah, well, well, Charlamagne, I think you I mean,
I think you're gonna have to do something. What you
gotta pop that pistol on somebody's ass or so at
least once they gotta know you will do it. Fuck
the security, they don't. Niggas gotta know you'll do it
once they know you'll do that. Ship You can walk
(15:20):
around this mother by yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Look at this nigga threw his whole life away, you know,
because Mike has told me.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Well, you ain't gotta shoot nobody. But this is the
I just said that to say this that most most
of these people walking around here that are in entertainment
business just to live like you a normal person.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I agree, Just live.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Like you're a normal person, so so that you can
enjoy this ship, because most of the people in the
business are just pretending all this shit is copied.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Ship.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I see the entertainers walking with the I'm like, that's
some ship he's seen somebody do with the coffee in
the hand. And the dude that's walking to God got his.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Hand on that ship.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That shit that irrit takes the shit out of me.
Some nigga watching me every fucking five minutes to see
if somebody gonna do something to me. I always say
to myself if I was, if I was trying to
get somebody, I'm gonna fuck him in that security up
fucking both of y'all. Up. I'm gonna get the fucking
security first because that's who's supposed to be protaking. Let
(16:33):
me get this nigga first, and then I'm gonna get
just that. So the security shit don't work. That ship
don't work. I guess it keeps shipped down. But if
I catch a motherfucker that be talking shit with a security,
get your punk ass out.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Of here once you go for security, the other one going.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's what I'm saying, That's what I'm saying. The other
one gone so so so so. Some of y'all need
to save your fucking money. Ain't nobody thinking about your ass?
You look crazy walking around with security and the damn
whole foods?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
What Who did I seeing with the security?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Who the fuck was that I seen in security?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Don't follow for that. She's trying to get you to
say a name.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I think it was Bobby Valentino. Nigga had two big
ass niggas in the city. I said, now, what is
going on in there with the I couldn't even see
the little nigga because of the security. I said, where
are you? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I just starts streaming.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, hell yeah, I'm gonna start streaming. I went on
that little kid, what's the name?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
He was a straight food on them. And I'm sitting
there looking at I'm I'm sitting on the streaming platform
saying to myself, how the fuck is he getting paid?
When they had the COVID. When the when COVID went down,
I was on I was on live skating DJing. I
was doing all this shit live on my Instagram. Then
(18:09):
the shit became streaming and he's making all this money.
I'm like, I was doing that shit and wasn't getting
a dime, so now I got to see if I
can get a dime.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He was on the wrong platform. You know what I
like about Kai.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Kai got all that attention from social media, but it
don't seem like it affects him up here. Meanwhile, you
got a bunch of older motherfuckers on social media losing
their mind because of that audience.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But Kai mentally seemed more together than them.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
That's why it's working for him, because he's not affected
by it. He ain't on that trying to show you
how much he got, how much of a bigger star
he is. He's just being himself and making money. And
that's what you young kids. If y'all watching the Breakfast Club,
you gonna make more money and get more success being
yourself than anybody in the world. I know it's people
(18:57):
that you admire, but even if it's somebody that you
admire that you really like, you're like, ah, I kind
of feel myself being like him. Start hating on him,
start saying, fuck that motherfucker. I can't stand this because
he's influencing, So you gotta hate on his ass to
not be influenced.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
What's gonna be the like vibe of your stream, It's
gonna be this, It's gonna.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Be this right here, Comedy Whole Foods speaking on all
like right now, all these fool stamps and then they
didn't cut these food stamps off. I'm starting to see
a lot of girls on dates that they normally wouldn't
go on. Yeah, they got to eat.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
They doing that though, That's that's the thing. What's that
you go on dates because you want to eat? Like
people do that?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
She doesn't. She used to do that.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
First of all, I can feed myself, but.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I never ever did it before.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
You mean, like, I want to go here, I don't
want to pay for it. This is back in the day,
not happening now. I'm great where.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I'm getting money.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
You're getting money, but you go you don't want to
pay for something. You have a person you call and
be like, oh, I know he'll come and pay for it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So wow, crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So sugar daddies, if you're listening to this, listen to
how you're getting screwed over.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
They know what time it is a sugar daddy though.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Oh she loved going to an alumni party, that's her thing.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
What is that at the colleges? She like going to
the old alumni party.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I get paid.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
We're not going to do this.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'm not going to appreciate this. I don't need to
be knowing them.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You did.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
You went that little ball here.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Going to the old alumni parties and them, old man
beyond me. You told me that what do you get?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
What do you get from an old alumni?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
He's lying. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Just answer for another girl. What would a girl get
from an old alumni?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
The date you're talking about and whatever she wants?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Alumni, they graduated from college, they're successful, change, They got change.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
The old college niggas as cheap as hell. They ain't
gonna spend the money on you like a nigga that
get dope money.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
You know, because I never did that. Yeah, this trouble
I think is hitting his head to her.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You know what I want to know with comedians, right,
do you ever look at a comedian set, let's say
a special you call them be like, Yo, that wasn't funny.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You should have did this better because you are the
og Do you ever do that? Or you think comediansll be?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I don't call people, and I'm pretty sure the fans
will tell your ass. What I don't like is when
niggas are blind and death and crazy and can't see
and hear that you ain't ship. You got to be
able to hear, see and know you ain't ship to
(21:38):
become something, because that's the worst thing in the world
is to think you the ship and you ain't the ship.
And I guess, I guess you're supposed to do that.
And that's what my I just shot a special called Delusion,
And that's what the special is about, is you really
got to be out of your mind and delusional to
(22:00):
be successful and make it and keep going. You guys,
are y'all mind to do this show? Right here? This
ship is crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I just enjoyed that we get to talk to legends
like you, like, Yes, that's that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It still got to be crazy though. You still you
still got to be crazy because you're still holding the
You're still holding a certain amount of power in your
in your in your in your hand, in your tongue
with with the people. This ship is powerful. Breakfast Club
this ship is, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's why I prey for direction. I pray for God
every day that God leave my steps and God my tongue.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That's it. He's not doing a great job because you're
still talking ship on the here. I just seen you
say some ship the other day. That was crazy. I said,
you better start sucking with the monkeys. Man, the monkey's
gonna get you, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Man, you see you see what Trump? Trump call me racist?
Leave back?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He called you the How does that feel man to
have I'm talking shit to you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Man on man, I don't even think about it, But
like you, I go he know you huh, I guess.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Don't go to jail. Yeah, he said some nasty ship
about me, fuck the boy and ass nigga.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But like you, I go home.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So when it's all said that at least I can
do I'm being talk. You're a lot of doing something.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
What did he doing right now? He's probably working out.
They probably shooting ball right now. They probably shooting ball
on the pen. What time is right now? They shooting
ball right now?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
He works at the chapel. He works at the library
at the chapel.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yes, he worked How the fact do you know this
that nigga don't work. No, damn Chapel.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Reported up in that era, that nineties New York era.
I did definitely, yes you did, didn't you? Definitely yes
he did. I was young, like fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Back then, but I was looking at I see I
was looking. I was looking at Diddy situation. I said
to myself, God don't make mistakes. Sometimes he might have
took that man off the street to save his life. Yeah,
that's how God works. So you know, look at it
as a blessing. Sometimes sometimes are are are are our failures.
Things that we fall in in life are blessings. You
(24:14):
know what I mean. Every time I took a fall,
I got a blessing out of it. So let's not
stop looking at all this people falling and saying, damn man,
they fail. Guess what now? God is called a setback
is a comeback, you know what I mean. We all
get set back so that we can come back. So
you know, when black men fall, y'all, we gotta we
(24:36):
keep we gotta stop teasing them.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I think we gotta learn from it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
To though minutes he said, He said, when you see
a great man man fault on laugh, learn for real. Yeah,
because he said, with the same thing that tempted him
on the way up, you're gonna have to face these
same temptations.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, and it and it's a whole It's a hundred
different ways to get sucked up out here. Everybody think
it's just one way or three ways, and now it's
a hundred different ways to get fucked up.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Out He jokes on stage.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Hell yeah, I got some Diddy jokes on. I got
jokes about everybody, okay, because I'm a comedian and that's
what I do. You know, I try to make sure
I don't go too hard because I still got kids.
You know, my kids. My daughter's no Diddy's daughters. They
friends with some of that ship.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Funny man, it's hilarious nipples.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
See I didn't. I didn't. I don't make jokes about
that part of it. But you heard that though I
didn't hear that. See you added some other ship on there.
I ain't even heard that ship right there. That's crazy, man.
That man ain't did no ship like.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I don't know if he did or not. I'm just
saying that's what That's what the prostitute said. Said that.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
During the time when they were having the conversations with Cassie.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yeah. See see I would go if I was them,
I would get out and go quiet for a year,
and everybody else get fucked up, all them snitches and ship.
I'm fucking them up because, motherfucker you was in my
backyard eating sliders and drinking free and all kinds of ship.
Now you're gonna tell on the motherfucking all you got
(26:11):
them sucking you up. I'm blowing your car up and
all that shit.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
The problem.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
I'm a run fast and throw a brick through your
motherfucking window while you're eating with you.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
When you talk about the upshall, why did the upshaw? Then?
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Man?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
The upshaws ended because the writers Wander Sykes and the
other Lady Regina Hicks, they just couldn't see how to
I really, you know, the lady Virginia Hicks, they both
did a great job. First of all, before I go
any further, they did such a great job writing. We
(26:55):
had the best writing team. I mean, man, the writing
team was incredible. But you know, I think I think
the lady Regina she has she had an agenda that
she wanted to push with the show, you know, and
everybody didn't agree with it all the time. You know,
they wanted the show to go this way. Shows started
(27:16):
off this way and then it starts slanting, and then
it went over there, and then it went over there.
We should have just kept it right there in the middle.
Might have did ten ten seasons. But I think it
was about in the writing. You know, I can't mix
somebody's personal life with what's on paper. But what's on paper?
And then it you know, whatever's on paper, and then
(27:39):
you guys film it is what we see. You know,
nobody's paying attention to nobody's personal life.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
You know when you say in the writing, though, is
it how they were trying to bring it in? What
the stories were around like the like what exactly in
the writing is the issue then, though, because her personal
sense has to come into her work on screen.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Not necessarily she she played a straight woman on the show.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Yeah, but Wanda Sex is very like like you're not
going to make her do anything she doesn't want to do,
stand up to anything, she doesn't want to sit next
to right right, But she's an ally for a certain
not even all, but like she speaks out openly about
being a part of their community.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yes, but on the show her character was a straight woman,
and that's what she portrayed on on on, on film,
on camera, but in the script, and and that wasn't
the issue with the script. That was just one out
of a million things that, you know, I think personally
(28:44):
might have kept the show from going. I mean, if
you really want to think about it, the kids got grown.
You know, we really couldn't go no further because of that.
The kids, you know what I mean, the kids. You know,
that's what they do on these TV shows when the
kids get older, they cut the show off. Once the
kids get older, you can't write stories around them because
it's like, damn, the kids are grown now. But like
(29:07):
I said, it was many reasons why the writing at
the end started becoming a little different. We actually went back.
We actually in the middle of the seasons we kind
of lost it. But then in the end, when you
see this season right here, you'll see we end up
getting it back, you know, but it ran its course, man.
(29:29):
And then again, I'm thankful that I've been able to
be on be on TV for six years.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But that frustrate you do when two people I guess
can't get along to a whole production goes down.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
The dream yeah, hell yeah. And you know what's crazy
about that situation. I used to go to Wanda all
the time and tell like he wander, you know, I
need somebody to fight for me in the rooms because
I ain't in there to fight for him. And I've
made it this far in my career being non confrontational.
(30:07):
I let so much shit go. I let so much
shit happen because it's not that serious, and I'm always
looking at the big picture. I don't never look at
the little, small potholes because I know I'm trying to
make it to the end of the role. So you know,
a lot of my successes I wouldn't even have it
if I was, oh, man, well I got a problem
(30:29):
with this, and no, y'all gotta change this and all
that irritates. Man. You gotta go through life like whatever, what,
what means the most and all that little shit because
the little shit stops. You got to you gotta not
pay attention to none of that little ship and focus
on the prize. And that's what I did with this show.
(30:49):
You know, I always focus on the prize. I never
went in the writer's room. I might have went up
there one or two times, but if I got a
script and I'm sitting on the set and i'm reading it,
I'm telling them and hell no, I ain't doing that.
I ain't doing that because because when you're doing television
and you're sitting at a table reading, you guys are
(31:10):
doing a table read. When you come back the next
day and you get on the set, the script gonna
be different. You like, nah, this ain't the shit I
read sitting at the table, because every night they going
there and rewrite.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
So you know, that's the show is always felt like
it was written from real life. So I always wanted, like,
how much of you the man is hidden? And that
shows like humor in the heart, like.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
All of that shit, because I think I think at
some point they started going on the internet digging in
my real life. Damn, what part all that shit watched
the show? If you watch the show, you'll start seeing
all kind of I'm like, damn, And I got offended
by that, and then I say, you know what, this
is what's gonna make the show good. I can't get
(31:55):
offended about something that's real and true. Let him, let
him write it. I'm getting upset about it because some
of that ship is I'm like that shit is me.
I'm like, well, the ship is on the internet. Yeah,
the ship is on the Internet that I fell out
with my daughter. The ship is on the Internet that
I had multiple baby mamas. The ship is all. Everything
(32:15):
you want to write is on the Internet. So you
can write a whole script off just google Mike Apps.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Damn. Yeah, been speaking of that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
What they becoming a husband and father again as an
older man, teach you that you didn't understand the first
time around?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
On the second marriage? Yeah, yeah, I'm a new marriage.
What did I learned this time that?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What did you learn like having children later on in
life as you older?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What did you What did that teach you that you
didn't understand the first time? You know?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I tell I tell people all the time man that
especially adults and children, a lot of us are not
It takes a lot. It takes us a long time
to become an adult. Just because somebody say they're an adult,
don't mean they're an adult. And a lot of times
(33:08):
your kids don't realize that either. Most of us are
still trying to find ourselves when we make kids. You
know what I'm saying, We're trying to find ourselves. So
you're a kid too mentally, you know your mind ain't
is not mature enough. So now you're raising a kid
trying to figure yourself out. There's an old saying to say, man,
(33:30):
we grew up together, me and my kids because because
I was growing up too. But now I'm at the
age now I got two new young kids. I'm the
best father in the world. And I just told my
wife the other day, I said, damn, I'm a good
father now, and she busts out laughing. She laughed, it
was funny because the ship is real now I feel
(33:54):
like a real like man, I'm doing shit that that
my my past wife was cussing me out about. But
I just wasn't there. Man, Now I'm there, you know
what I mean. I'm like And then I look at
my older kids and I'm like, damn, I wish I
(34:15):
could have been that guy with them. I wish I
could have been the same guy I am now when
I had my first daughter, she would have got the
real mic, the good mic. But unfortunately it takes time.
I tell women all the time, it takes about fifty
years for a man to get a ship right. So
be patient, be patient. Out there, ladies, it takes fifty
(34:36):
years for us to get our ship together, and then
you will get the last ten or twenty wonder years.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
No, just look, listen your blessing. Mike getting an old alumni.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
I'm saying, send it home waiting for me right now.

be like, Mike punched this up.

write for me anyway. They can write some shit on
the paper, but I'm gonna say some shit funny, and
then whatever you put on the paper's and I'm gonna
give you yours, and then I'm gonna give you mine.
And when you get in the edit in the room,

Always loving God and keeping the faith. That's why I've
told people in these fool stamps and stuff, get cut off,
don't worry about that. See, black people, we've been getting
our shit cut off, We've been getting our doors kicked
in and stuff. This is not for us, So don't
take this as personal about the fool stamps and all that.
I'm actually glad they cutting some of these niggas off

I do be getting big opportunities, like.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You just did six seasons of a sitcom on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Man, I know what you're talking. I'm greedy.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
You want every show?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
What's bigger than I want? I want? I really want.
I want to be I want to be in some
more movies with white people because it means money. You
see me with if you catch me with a honkey,
the money gonna go up.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But you know, when you think about black.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Honkys, make your money go up.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Go ahead with that word.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
In a long time, when you think about black comedians,
it's not too many black comedians who had a hit sitcom.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm talking about sitcoms that have lasted.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know what I'm saying, There's only a few, like
you got The Cosby Show, you got a Stamford in the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Son right, Martin, Martin, Martin. I don't even know if
Bernie Mack Bernie season. I don't even know. God blessed dead.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
No, I don't know. I don't know. But I've been
a handful. Yeah, I've been blessed to do. I've been
blessed to uh still be in the business. And that's
how I stay in the business. Man. I never i'm I'm.
I wake up every day like I'm just now getting
in it, Like I'm I never got in it. I
never celebrate myself being in the business. I'm never bragging
(04:17):
or you know, I'm I'm. I'm always a fan still.
I'm always looking at the business from a fan's eyes.
Like if I look at the business from a fan's eye,
I ain't gonna never fall off because I know what
the fans like and what the fans want. And I'm
even judging myself like a fan too, like, oh, that
shit ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Bernie Mack and Jamie Fox have five seasons. You got six.
That's a big fucking deal. Man, The wains brother don't
know how many seasons they had. That's a big deal, bro.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
It is. It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And you're on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
On Netflix, that's a big deal. One of the hardest
platforms to get on and to be successful on. So
shout out to all to Netflix, you know, giving me
a test, surrander, giving me the opportunity and wind the
Sykes and kim Fields. You know, just a great team
of people, and that's that's the that's the key to succeeding.
(05:12):
You have to have a great team. And nobody's doing
this shit by theyself. You know, when you see somebody successful,
you can best believe it's a team behind them that
made them, that helped them prepare. You know.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Now you're going back out on the road. Yeah, with
the Ones comedy to a twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You didn't It feels like you just got off the road.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Right, How do you get a chance to create new material?
Because usually they say material comes from living life.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
If you always on the road, where's the material coming from?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I mean, if you look at the news, the ship
is just hanging off the tree. It's just low hanging fruit.
Every every day it's some new shit. And that's the
thing about being a real comedian. A real comedian ain't
sitting there writing shit. You Finnah, get it right off
the cuff, just like you catching me coming out to
both daggers, Damn Mike? Was that? And I say, some
fun That's that's a real comedian right there. We ain't
(06:03):
got a right. I ain't gotta right, ship, I ain't
got a right. You catch me walking down the street,
I'm gonna be funny. Catch me at the drug store,
I'm gonna be funny. You catch me wherever you catch
me at, I'm gonna be funny. And I just feel
like that's that's what I do. That's that's how I write.
And if you come and see me that night at
the comedy show, you're gonna hear some ship that happened
(06:25):
that day. I'm talking about it right on the stage,
and then I'm gonna make it funny, you know, so
I trust I trust my funny.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You were talking about the Honkeys, right.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Do you feel like Hollywood truly respects black comedy legends
the same way they do white ones, or that respects
something y'all still gotta fight for.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh yeah, we definitely. Let me tell you something. Man,
any anybody black, in any situation, you still gonna have
to fight. It's a fight. You know. I never seen
a race of people they quote unquote or success for
and still have to prove themselves. Never I ain't. I
(07:04):
don't see another race that has to still do it.
And you know, it's even harder for us because we're
doing it against each other. We are biggest competition each other.
I was looking at I was at the strip club.
This was years ago. Yeah, but I was at the
strip club. She got ways of being like this man. Yeah,
(07:32):
but but I was just in the strip club. I
was just thinking to myself, Man, these dudes are really
in here, uh uh, competing with each other throwing the money.
And they got another guy to come out, and it's
just a scenario for life. They got another guy to
come out at the strip club and throw money. And
then and then after you throw your money, he collect
(07:54):
all the money and take it back there to the
girls again. And that's what they that's how they get
you to throw money. They said, yeah, they got a
dude out there to throw the money. That's how Hollywood
is too, That's how show business is.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So somebody that starts it off it ain't even ain't
basically straight plant, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Damn.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So you still feel like you're proving, You're working to
prove things to people in your career at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, because you know, I was just I was just
listening to everybody talk about how bad of a movie
that was that Denzel and Spike Lee just did. Right.
They were just talking about, yeah, it wasn't a great movie,
and I'm like, damn literally when they were talking about it,
(08:39):
it damned that made you forget it that it was like, man,
Denzel was in that movie, Like, you know, it wasn't
a great movie. You damned never forgot about it everything
he did because you was focusing on the fact that
it wasn't a good movie, you know what I mean.
So one bad, one mistake in art culture can cause
(09:02):
you can cause people to not fuck with you, which
is weird as hell to me. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But what you said is true.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
They catch amnesia.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But what you said is true. We pushed, We'll push
the narrative.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, We'll go we'll go
so hard against against each other.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, and that's what And that's another I mean, you
know that's another reason why we're all great too as well.
We put the pressure that we have against each other.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's crazy when that's Mike earlier, he said, charlamage your after.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You on his ass.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
But see he but see you got a plant. The
platform that you guys have is it's unstoppable. It's a
whole lot different than coming inside of a church or
coming inside of a political arena. This is the this
is the real platform. It's people. Hell, yeah, you're touching everybody. Man.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know, I think about you, Mike do because you've
been in funny your whole life.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Man, because you've grown. What is being a comedian meaning
you now compared to when you first started.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
But when I first started, it was confused. It was
it was a disruption, you know what I mean when
I was when I was a kid. Because you never
seen black kids. You never see and you never will
see black kids in a in a career center talking
(10:35):
about they want to be a comedian. So if you
see a young black kid being a comedian, he's being disruptive.
They call that disruptive. Oh he's a disruptive. This is
the motherfuckers disruptive. But that's what I was. I'm a comedian,
you know, So a comedian career is not something that
(10:56):
you can go to college and go get They don't
teach it, and uh, you know in career class, this
is some shit that just happens, and you you, you know,
you take advantage of it. That's what I did. I
always been funny, but now this shit then became a business,
you know what I mean. So I gotta cut the
(11:18):
phony funny on and cut it off. I'm like, oh,
here come the money. I gotta do some business. Let
me cut that funny or let me trim it down
a little bit. I could still be funny, but I'm
doing business. Let me trim it down a little bit
so I can get the business done, you know. And
but I you know, I know how to turn it
on and off. When it's time to be funny, I'm funny.
(11:38):
When it's time to talk talk real shit, I'm gonna
talk real shit. And that's how I adjust my shit, man,
That's how adjust everything.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What's one thing that Mike Epps hates?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I know, there's always a Friday question I know there's
always a funnier than who who's not funny? Pass MEAs
what's one thing you hate discussing and talking about that
pisses you off.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I'm so tired of talking. I'm so tired of talking
about people, talking about other comedians and other artists. I'm
sick of that shit.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Gotrac of my questions.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Well, no, no, no. The reason why I said that
is because I'm like, it's just it's just running in
a circle, man, you know what I mean. It's like
I ain't got nothing to say about nobody at this point.
Matter of fact, I feel fucked up talking about something.
I'm so blessed. I feel fucked up talking negative about anybody,
(12:38):
you know what I mean. I don't have no room
to say nothing negative because I'm blessed. Now. If I
wasn't doing so great, maybe so, But man, I'm so blessed.
I don't find I don't have no room to talk
shit about nobody.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know, you bought a whole block, man, you understand, Like,
do you understand that's so many black people's dream to
buy a whole and they and they community where they're from.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Come on, man, No, it was in Indiana, though I wish,
I wish it was in La but I know, yeah,
more man, that ship is so boring.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Man, do that to yourself.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You know what though you don't stay on the sleep
the time.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, my son sleep in my room that I slept
in when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
And what's crazy is people still getting murdered in the
neighborhoods and niggas died in the alley and yeah, the
detectives knocking on the door. We didn't see your camera,
miss des, I said, Oh, man, I ain't got no
cameras around. Well you see the camera, I said, don't
none of that ship work. But it just goes to
show you that it just goes.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Tell nobody that.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Man, No, it just goes to show No, it worked.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But you know I'll get you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
But you know it just goes to show you, man
that nobody's paying If I could tell some of these stars,
some of these people that are famous, nobody's paying attention
to your mother fucking ass. That's another thing I hate.
I'm like some of these people are in delusion, Like
(14:19):
you're wasting fucking security money. Ain't nobody fucking thinking about you?
I wish I could just take a chart and just
show all the artists and just point at them and say,
ain't nobody think about your motherfucking ass. Ain't nobody think
about your motherfucking You can walk around by your goddamn
self and save your security money. You don't need no security.
(14:41):
People love you. Why do you have somebody around you
all the time. Because I walk around this motherfucker by myself.
I don't have no fucking security.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You never got punched in the back of the head, though,
se y'all ain't got punched in the head on camera
Mike twice.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Well yeah, well, well, Charlamagne, I think you I mean,
I think you're gonna have to do something. What you
gotta pop that pistol on somebody's ass or so at
least once they gotta know you will do it. Fuck
the security, they don't. Niggas gotta know you'll do it
once they know you'll do that. Ship You can walk
(15:20):
around this mother by yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Look at this nigga threw his whole life away, you know,
because Mike has told me.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Well, you ain't gotta shoot nobody. But this is the
I just said that to say this that most most
of these people walking around here that are in entertainment
business just to live like you a normal person.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I agree, Just live.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Like you're a normal person, so so that you can
enjoy this ship, because most of the people in the
business are just pretending all this shit is copied.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Ship.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I see the entertainers walking with the I'm like, that's
some ship he's seen somebody do with the coffee in
the hand. And the dude that's walking to God got his.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Hand on that ship.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That shit that irrit takes the shit out of me.
Some nigga watching me every fucking five minutes to see
if somebody gonna do something to me. I always say
to myself if I was, if I was trying to
get somebody, I'm gonna fuck him in that security up
fucking both of y'all. Up. I'm gonna get the fucking
security first because that's who's supposed to be protaking. Let
(16:33):
me get this nigga first, and then I'm gonna get
just that. So the security shit don't work. That ship
don't work. I guess it keeps shipped down. But if
I catch a motherfucker that be talking shit with a security,
get your punk ass out.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Of here once you go for security, the other one going.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's what I'm saying, That's what I'm saying. The other
one gone so so so so. Some of y'all need
to save your fucking money. Ain't nobody thinking about your ass?
You look crazy walking around with security and the damn
whole foods?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
What Who did I seeing with the security?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Who the fuck was that I seen in security?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Don't follow for that. She's trying to get you to
say a name.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I think it was Bobby Valentino. Nigga had two big
ass niggas in the city. I said, now, what is
going on in there with the I couldn't even see
the little nigga because of the security. I said, where
are you? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I just starts streaming.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, hell yeah, I'm gonna start streaming. I went on
that little kid, what's the name?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
He was a straight food on them. And I'm sitting
there looking at I'm I'm sitting on the streaming platform
saying to myself, how the fuck is he getting paid?
When they had the COVID. When the when COVID went down,
I was on I was on live skating DJing. I
was doing all this shit live on my Instagram. Then
(18:09):
the shit became streaming and he's making all this money.
I'm like, I was doing that shit and wasn't getting
a dime, so now I got to see if I
can get a dime.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He was on the wrong platform. You know what I
like about Kai.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Kai got all that attention from social media, but it
don't seem like it affects him up here. Meanwhile, you
got a bunch of older motherfuckers on social media losing
their mind because of that audience.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But Kai mentally seemed more together than them.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
That's why it's working for him, because he's not affected
by it. He ain't on that trying to show you
how much he got, how much of a bigger star
he is. He's just being himself and making money. And
that's what you young kids. If y'all watching the Breakfast Club,
you gonna make more money and get more success being
yourself than anybody in the world. I know it's people
(18:57):
that you admire, but even if it's somebody that you
admire that you really like, you're like, ah, I kind
of feel myself being like him. Start hating on him,
start saying, fuck that motherfucker. I can't stand this because
he's influencing, So you gotta hate on his ass to
not be influenced.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
What's gonna be the like vibe of your stream, It's
gonna be this, It's gonna.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Be this right here, Comedy Whole Foods speaking on all
like right now, all these fool stamps and then they
didn't cut these food stamps off. I'm starting to see
a lot of girls on dates that they normally wouldn't
go on. Yeah, they got to eat.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
They doing that though, That's that's the thing. What's that
you go on dates because you want to eat? Like
people do that?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
She doesn't. She used to do that.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
First of all, I can feed myself, but.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I never ever did it before.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
You mean, like, I want to go here, I don't
want to pay for it. This is back in the day,
not happening now. I'm great where.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I'm getting money.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
You're getting money, but you go you don't want to
pay for something. You have a person you call and
be like, oh, I know he'll come and pay for it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So wow, crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So sugar daddies, if you're listening to this, listen to
how you're getting screwed over.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
They know what time it is a sugar daddy though.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Oh she loved going to an alumni party, that's her thing.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
What is that at the colleges? She like going to
the old alumni party.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I get paid.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
We're not going to do this.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'm not going to appreciate this. I don't need to
be knowing them.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You did.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
You went that little ball here.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Going to the old alumni parties and them, old man
beyond me. You told me that what do you get?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
What do you get from an old alumni?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
He's lying. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Just answer for another girl. What would a girl get
from an old alumni?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
The date you're talking about and whatever she wants?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Alumni, they graduated from college, they're successful, change, They got change.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
The old college niggas as cheap as hell. They ain't
gonna spend the money on you like a nigga that
get dope money.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
You know, because I never did that. Yeah, this trouble
I think is hitting his head to her.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You know what I want to know with comedians, right,
do you ever look at a comedian set, let's say
a special you call them be like, Yo, that wasn't funny.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You should have did this better because you are the
og Do you ever do that? Or you think comediansll be?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I don't call people, and I'm pretty sure the fans
will tell your ass. What I don't like is when
niggas are blind and death and crazy and can't see
and hear that you ain't ship. You got to be
able to hear, see and know you ain't ship to
(21:38):
become something, because that's the worst thing in the world
is to think you the ship and you ain't the ship.
And I guess, I guess you're supposed to do that.
And that's what my I just shot a special called Delusion,
And that's what the special is about, is you really
got to be out of your mind and delusional to
(22:00):
be successful and make it and keep going. You guys,
are y'all mind to do this show? Right here? This
ship is crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I just enjoyed that we get to talk to legends
like you, like, Yes, that's that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It still got to be crazy though. You still you
still got to be crazy because you're still holding the
You're still holding a certain amount of power in your
in your in your in your hand, in your tongue
with with the people. This ship is powerful. Breakfast Club
this ship is, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's why I prey for direction. I pray for God
every day that God leave my steps and God my tongue.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That's it. He's not doing a great job because you're
still talking ship on the here. I just seen you
say some ship the other day. That was crazy. I said,
you better start sucking with the monkeys. Man, the monkey's
gonna get you, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Man, you see you see what Trump? Trump call me racist?
Leave back?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He called you the How does that feel man to
have I'm talking shit to you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Man on man, I don't even think about it, But
like you, I go he know you huh, I guess.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Don't go to jail. Yeah, he said some nasty ship
about me, fuck the boy and ass nigga.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
But like you, I go home.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So when it's all said that at least I can
do I'm being talk. You're a lot of doing something.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
What did he doing right now? He's probably working out.
They probably shooting ball right now. They probably shooting ball
on the pen. What time is right now? They shooting
ball right now?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
He works at the chapel. He works at the library
at the chapel.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yes, he worked How the fact do you know this
that nigga don't work. No, damn Chapel.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Reported up in that era, that nineties New York era.
I did definitely, yes you did, didn't you? Definitely yes
he did. I was young, like fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Back then, but I was looking at I see I
was looking. I was looking at Diddy situation. I said
to myself, God don't make mistakes. Sometimes he might have
took that man off the street to save his life. Yeah,
that's how God works. So you know, look at it
as a blessing. Sometimes sometimes are are are are our failures.
Things that we fall in in life are blessings. You
(24:14):
know what I mean. Every time I took a fall,
I got a blessing out of it. So let's not
stop looking at all this people falling and saying, damn man,
they fail. Guess what now? God is called a setback
is a comeback, you know what I mean. We all
get set back so that we can come back. So
you know, when black men fall, y'all, we gotta we
(24:36):
keep we gotta stop teasing them.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I think we gotta learn from it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
To though minutes he said, He said, when you see
a great man man fault on laugh, learn for real. Yeah,
because he said, with the same thing that tempted him
on the way up, you're gonna have to face these
same temptations.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, and it and it's a whole It's a hundred
different ways to get sucked up out here. Everybody think
it's just one way or three ways, and now it's
a hundred different ways to get fucked up.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Out He jokes on stage.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Hell yeah, I got some Diddy jokes on. I got
jokes about everybody, okay, because I'm a comedian and that's
what I do. You know, I try to make sure
I don't go too hard because I still got kids.
You know, my kids. My daughter's no Diddy's daughters. They
friends with some of that ship.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Funny man, it's hilarious nipples.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
See I didn't. I didn't. I don't make jokes about
that part of it. But you heard that though I
didn't hear that. See you added some other ship on there.
I ain't even heard that ship right there. That's crazy, man.
That man ain't did no ship like.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I don't know if he did or not. I'm just
saying that's what That's what the prostitute said. Said that.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
During the time when they were having the conversations with Cassie.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yeah. See see I would go if I was them,
I would get out and go quiet for a year,
and everybody else get fucked up, all them snitches and ship.
I'm fucking them up because, motherfucker you was in my
backyard eating sliders and drinking free and all kinds of ship.
Now you're gonna tell on the motherfucking all you got
(26:11):
them sucking you up. I'm blowing your car up and
all that shit.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
The problem.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
I'm a run fast and throw a brick through your
motherfucking window while you're eating with you.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
When you talk about the upshall, why did the upshaw? Then?
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Man?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
The upshaws ended because the writers Wander Sykes and the
other Lady Regina Hicks, they just couldn't see how to
I really, you know, the lady Virginia Hicks, they both
did a great job. First of all, before I go
any further, they did such a great job writing. We
(26:55):
had the best writing team. I mean, man, the writing
team was incredible. But you know, I think I think
the lady Regina she has she had an agenda that
she wanted to push with the show, you know, and
everybody didn't agree with it all the time. You know,
they wanted the show to go this way. Shows started
(27:16):
off this way and then it starts slanting, and then
it went over there, and then it went over there.
We should have just kept it right there in the middle.
Might have did ten ten seasons. But I think it
was about in the writing. You know, I can't mix
somebody's personal life with what's on paper. But what's on paper?
And then it you know, whatever's on paper, and then
(27:39):
you guys film it is what we see. You know,
nobody's paying attention to nobody's personal life.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
You know when you say in the writing, though, is
it how they were trying to bring it in? What
the stories were around like the like what exactly in
the writing is the issue then, though, because her personal
sense has to come into her work on screen.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Not necessarily she she played a straight woman on the show.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Yeah, but Wanda Sex is very like like you're not
going to make her do anything she doesn't want to do,
stand up to anything, she doesn't want to sit next
to right right, But she's an ally for a certain
not even all, but like she speaks out openly about
being a part of their community.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yes, but on the show her character was a straight woman,
and that's what she portrayed on on on, on film,
on camera, but in the script, and and that wasn't
the issue with the script. That was just one out
of a million things that, you know, I think personally
(28:44):
might have kept the show from going. I mean, if
you really want to think about it, the kids got grown.
You know, we really couldn't go no further because of that.
The kids, you know what I mean, the kids. You know,
that's what they do on these TV shows when the
kids get older, they cut the show off. Once the
kids get older, you can't write stories around them because
it's like, damn, the kids are grown now. But like
(29:07):
I said, it was many reasons why the writing at
the end started becoming a little different. We actually went back.
We actually in the middle of the seasons we kind
of lost it. But then in the end, when you
see this season right here, you'll see we end up
getting it back, you know, but it ran its course, man.
(29:29):
And then again, I'm thankful that I've been able to
be on be on TV for six years.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But that frustrate you do when two people I guess
can't get along to a whole production goes down.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
The dream yeah, hell yeah. And you know what's crazy
about that situation. I used to go to Wanda all
the time and tell like he wander, you know, I
need somebody to fight for me in the rooms because
I ain't in there to fight for him. And I've
made it this far in my career being non confrontational.
(30:07):
I let so much shit go. I let so much
shit happen because it's not that serious, and I'm always
looking at the big picture. I don't never look at
the little, small potholes because I know I'm trying to
make it to the end of the role. So you know,
a lot of my successes I wouldn't even have it
if I was, oh, man, well I got a problem
(30:29):
with this, and no, y'all gotta change this and all
that irritates. Man. You gotta go through life like whatever, what,
what means the most and all that little shit because
the little shit stops. You got to you gotta not
pay attention to none of that little ship and focus
on the prize. And that's what I did with this show.
(30:49):
You know, I always focus on the prize. I never
went in the writer's room. I might have went up
there one or two times, but if I got a
script and I'm sitting on the set and i'm reading it,
I'm telling them and hell no, I ain't doing that.
I ain't doing that because because when you're doing television
and you're sitting at a table reading, you guys are
(31:10):
doing a table read. When you come back the next
day and you get on the set, the script gonna
be different. You like, nah, this ain't the shit I
read sitting at the table, because every night they going
there and rewrite.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
So you know, that's the show is always felt like
it was written from real life. So I always wanted, like,
how much of you the man is hidden? And that
shows like humor in the heart, like.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
All of that shit, because I think I think at
some point they started going on the internet digging in
my real life. Damn, what part all that shit watched
the show? If you watch the show, you'll start seeing
all kind of I'm like, damn, And I got offended
by that, and then I say, you know what, this
is what's gonna make the show good. I can't get
(31:55):
offended about something that's real and true. Let him, let
him write it. I'm getting upset about it because some
of that ship is I'm like that shit is me.
I'm like, well, the ship is on the internet. Yeah,
the ship is on the Internet that I fell out
with my daughter. The ship is on the Internet that
I had multiple baby mamas. The ship is all. Everything
(32:15):
you want to write is on the Internet. So you
can write a whole script off just google Mike Apps.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Damn. Yeah, been speaking of that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
What they becoming a husband and father again as an
older man, teach you that you didn't understand the first
time around?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
On the second marriage? Yeah, yeah, I'm a new marriage.
What did I learned this time that?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What did you learn like having children later on in
life as you older?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What did you What did that teach you that you
didn't understand the first time? You know?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I tell I tell people all the time man that
especially adults and children, a lot of us are not
It takes a lot. It takes us a long time
to become an adult. Just because somebody say they're an adult,
don't mean they're an adult. And a lot of times
(33:08):
your kids don't realize that either. Most of us are
still trying to find ourselves when we make kids. You
know what I'm saying, We're trying to find ourselves. So
you're a kid too mentally, you know your mind ain't
is not mature enough. So now you're raising a kid
trying to figure yourself out. There's an old saying to say, man,
(33:30):
we grew up together, me and my kids because because
I was growing up too. But now I'm at the
age now I got two new young kids. I'm the
best father in the world. And I just told my
wife the other day, I said, damn, I'm a good
father now, and she busts out laughing. She laughed, it
was funny because the ship is real now I feel
(33:54):
like a real like man, I'm doing shit that that
my my past wife was cussing me out about. But
I just wasn't there. Man, Now I'm there, you know
what I mean. I'm like And then I look at
my older kids and I'm like, damn, I wish I
(34:15):
could have been that guy with them. I wish I
could have been the same guy I am now when
I had my first daughter, she would have got the
real mic, the good mic. But unfortunately it takes time.
I tell women all the time, it takes about fifty
years for a man to get a ship right. So
be patient, be patient. Out there, ladies, it takes fifty
(34:36):
years for us to get our ship together, and then
you will get the last ten or twenty wonder years.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
No, just look, listen your blessing. Mike getting an old alumni.
Speaker 6 (34:48):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
