Speaker 2 (01:05):
You got a scary movie eating there It is on
the fifth. Yes, how does it feel to be back
with the franchise and doing what you're supposed to be doing?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Everything is God, That's what it feels like. It feels
like you go on this long journey and you know,
serendipity happens. It's like, you know, there's something that was
there that got stripped away, and now you have this
opportunity to do it again and do it bigger and
better at a time in the world where I think
the world needs these laughs the most. And so you know,
(01:33):
here we are. God, God, God wanted us to do this.
It's funny. My dad, it's responsible for us doing this movie.
Because yeah, because my dad when he was you know,
he was dying, he was like, you know, he was
in the hospital. He was like, I want you and
your brothers to work together again. And I was like, oh.
I was like, you know how hard it is to
get four black men on the same page. You know,
(01:55):
that's why no audition keep breaking up. You know, we
got four Bobby Browns in our group, you know what
I mean, four tops. There's only two of them left.
It's hard to keep that kind of you know, stuff going.
So I was like, I don't know if it's gonna happen. Pop,
he was like, come on, you guys do magic together.
I said, all right, I said, he goes. I know, Pop,
it goes for me. I said, all right for you.
(02:17):
He said, you promise. I was like, damn this nigga.
I was like, I promise, and he made me shake
his hand. I shook his hand and then, uh, you know,
a couple like days later, my dad was gone. But
you know, my dad raised me on the Bible, and
first one of the first things in the Bible is
honor that mother and father for the days on this
earth will be longer. So I listened to my dad.
(02:38):
I listened to what my parents wanted, and I may
make sure this movie happened. And we made it happen,
and you know, hopefully this will be the biggest one.
You know, my dad saw something him and God saw something,
you know, so I think they knew the world needed
a laugh. And it wasn't like his deathbed. It wasn't
like my dad's last wish was I want you boy
to get together and do them shit jokes together.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I want you to do them five jokes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That's my last wish. More, come on the ceiling, you know,
put another Dick and Shawn's here, but get I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Is that a real story or that he told the
brothers to get everybody together.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And then didn't believe me.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I'm like, that's what you wanted, right, did you have
to do?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You want to come into it? That hypnotizes NI because
se Sean Sean be like, I'm good. Sean don't really
care about this grind like I do. We're different. We're
just we've always been different. I like this grind. This
is what I do. I was born here to do this.
I didn't understand my calling in terms of stand up
till I really started doing it. I was like, wait,
this is what it is. This is that ship has
(03:48):
cracked me. The dopamine levels is up here. I like
doing this. I like to chase my brother, Sean likes
to chill, and he likes to do it at his pace,
and so I'm going to keep on doing this and
whenever he ready, Yo, let's jump into another one. Let's
jump into another one. But watching him on this movie,
and he's hilarious in the movie, you just see how
much he missed it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I understand why you don't take showing out too much.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Lai.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I understand that we're talking about trying to stop.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I keep telling him, and I was like, yo, Charlamann,
you with the wrong wing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Discolorad niggas keep picking on shot that we three different
colored flats from the shot. You three black niggas. Leave
this nigga. This pretty even his business, you know what
(04:50):
you know?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I mean, leave the brother alone?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why you and Areas was like, why you care about
what he always wearing shades?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Let the nigga wear shades.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He wears shades in the shower. I haven't shown Sean's
eyes in fifteen years. I don't know what we got
highes behind them ships. I don't know dinner when my
parents won him at the hooddle, I know that was
his eyes. You care you need the shame that your
black ass eyes. Anybody needs shame.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You dude alone about two weeks ago because both of
y'all was on the schedule and he was like, yeah,
he was on. He's like, I can't wait to see
both of them come up here, man, because you.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Know, both of y'all have grown. And I said, man,
don't remind that nigga what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I ain't gotta remind him. Sean already, remember, don't come
here because he don't want to fuck you up. But
I'm like, Sean knows him. He's like, yo' he gonna
say something smart, but I tried. I was like that,
y'all both have allved, you both grown. I told him.
I said, look, Charlamagne, he grew up in therapy. He
and all them different colors. He only two black men.
(05:49):
He's a better man. He rich making money. I said,
he passed that. Sean was like, I don't know, just
in case, you know, because he don't want to risk
his money. Sean's not that dude.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Let me tell you something, Sean.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
This of funny Sean is. Back in the day, it
was this kid, right Sean, Nigga talking ship to Sewn.
Sean talked ship back this kid Mike, and the kid
was like. Sean was like, I'll fuck you up. Michael
was like, right right, he said, you think I'm playing
right right? Seawn said, say right one more time? He
said right right. Sean said, no, Nigga left and on
(06:24):
the left hand. That's how Sean's got that guy. So
when I say, you know, I know y'all bring it up.
You know, no, we on the Breakfast Club, y'all gonna
bring up that was twenty and what I tell you
on why are you bringing that up? But I'm trying
to I think he's a step closer. He walked toward
the building and turns out. But I think the next time.
(06:48):
I think he's gonna come on.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
FaceTime one time, just.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
You could tell what the aries interview like. That wasn't
like some interview I'll fuck you up. That was something
keep this nigga at home, We'll keeping.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I was like, Yo, don't be playing with Sean. Ain't
that dude he sit there with and and Sean was
funny because he was like, he's a bitch. I said, wait, Sean,
we going with this? He's a and that, and then
the Arias response was yeah, what about his stand up though?
And Sean's like, I said, you a bitch. Let's discuss that,
(07:26):
and then we could talk about my stand up. Can
you tell me because you bring in the wrong due
that Sean mind is business and you know Aris, I
ain't never had a problem with Arias. We ain't got
no problem. I wish the brother nothing but love. Why
is my name in your mouth? Well, I'm doing this.
I have this problem with DJ Van, you know, me
and Vlad over it. But for you to talk about
my price, if I say on your platform you gotta
(07:48):
pay me this, then that's what you're gonna pay me,
because that's what I feel my value is worth. But
it's not for you, as a black man, to go
on a white man's platform and discuss my value, he asked,
because he was asking everybody. You know, Hey D L. Hugley,
that's not my business right now, Hey Tony yeo yo black,
that's not my business, you know. He then he asked
aries Aries, Well, you got to ask yourself, is the
(08:11):
juice worth the squeeze? If you're talking about Marlon Wayans
you talking about, is the jew worth the squeeze? Full up?
First of all, why are you talking about my money?
Why do you have an opinion? I don't have an
opinion about your money. When you sound like an old coon,
a slave, you sound like you sound like the nigga
Sam Jackson played in and Jago bos If in the
(08:31):
juice It's worth the squeeze boat?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Old?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I need to say both.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Is that juice worth the squeeze boat?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Nigga? Now fast forward to who's in the beef with
Blad trying to get their money and Blad once again
putting your stuff public. That's a bad negotiation tactic. First
of all, Flag and I don't sit there and go, hey, blad, boss,
is the juice worth the squeeze that's between you and
that man. I wish, I wish you get your money aries,
(09:02):
but you ain't gotta sit there and try and drag
me down. He talked about my stand up. He talk
about this. He always got something smart to say. And
one day he gonna fuck around. He gonna see Sean,
and before Sean beat that nigga ass because that he
won't happen. And I'm you know, we doing more than
just stand up like we got. We got money that
(09:23):
we're making, right, So I'm like yo, and people soue
nowadays get little titious.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And before Sean beat that niggas Ass'm gonna hold my
brother back and.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Sean Sean, Sean, Hey is the juice the squeeze right right,
And Sean's gonna go nah left, Leave niggas alone, Leave
the sleeping Jihant's alone.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Man, That's all.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I ain't bother you about your little creepy pedophile sketch.
Leave us the funck alone.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Bro, Damn, you're right. You got a scary movie, right?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah? Are?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I am not calling a scary movie six for a reason.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
We rebranded, we rebooking, you know what I mean. It's
a brand new start. It's back rebooting.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Forget the We basically pulled up that thing from Men
in Black.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Was like we saw this whole y'all looking here and
say it behind the bay. We start from scratch and
it's gonna be more.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's gonna be more.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, this hit. I just want to know this. I
want the world to laugh again. I feel like we
haven't had a good laugh. Everything is all here and
I feel like we know I hit the sweet spot
where you can feel it's offensively hilarious. It's not just offensive.
It's not like, oh, we'll leave you with a bad
tasting the mouth. It's like, oh, oh that's good. It's inclusive.
(10:44):
That's what we've always done, the Wayne's brand, humor and
living color. We did things that was you know, white chicks.
You know, we do things that when we send somebody up,
we hope that the people we send up laugh the loudest.
You know why they can't cancel us for white chicks.
You know who loves white chicks the most white chicks.
They loved that movie.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And I was gonna say that now that you got
shown out the house. You gotta do White Chicks like
you have to know. I'm not gonna I slept on
White Chicks.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
If Scared Of makes funny, you just like it because
the Dominican dudes in the beginning, No Dominican. It was
too much like Damien and Damien Dominican. You Dominican.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was on the airplane and I watched it right
and I was like, Yo, this is the funny sh
and I started telling me, but I could not believe
it was that fun I think.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
This is what this was years ago. I don't want
to go see that exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I seen it on the plane and I was like,
this is amazing, and I got stuck on it. But
I'm like, I feel like that movie is underrated. First,
I feel like it's one of those movies that we
don't talk about enough.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But I need a part too. I will say this,
If Scared Of Me and Sean both said, this scary
movie make money.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
We see people want to laugh again.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
They come out and droves. Make this a hit. Yeah,
we're doing White Chicks too. That will be next White
Chicks too. Scary movie. Seven. I'm gonna do Scar of
thirty six, y'all, gonna be so tired scary movies. I'm like,
fuck that more.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know what's so interesting. Horror movies are making such
a huge comeback in Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Right, That's why the biggest movies this year, That's why
the scary movie franchise. Right now, with these huge movies,
you got obsession, you got back room. I'm like, I
can start writing part seven right now.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
So you keep saying if it hit, do you have
any doubt that it won't?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You know, you never know. We never do things like that, right,
I don't curse it. I don't spit up in the air.
I hope you always hope. But there's you know, I
ain't like, yeah, we don't. I don't self proclaim to
be yo, we this. I just hope God wills this
to happen. If he does, then I know what my
purpose is. But I'm not gonna be like, yeah, we
that didn't and then the movie make a dollar fifty
(12:43):
and then I'm like, well, what I had meant to
say is if the juice were squeeze, No, I hope
it makes money.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think the culture wants to see. This is for
the culture.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This movie is for the team teenager and the grown
up that went to see it when Scary Movie first
came out when they were teenagers, and now they're grown
with teenage kids, and now they could bring that team.
That teenager that's not an adult can bring their child
to come see Scary movie and introduce them to this
humor that's been missing from this generation, and both of
(13:18):
them collapse because this is a cultural clash up. This
is about a generational thing. It's a legacy movie. So
we got the old school niggas with the new school,
and it's a battle of who really belongs here, what
sensibility is wrong here? It's a really smart movie. You
got no I got a kai ass character. I got
a kai my child. I thought you child cou My
(13:45):
daughter just changed the name. Well, now my son changed
the name from minak.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I that you gotta adjust too. Yeah, I gotta know
what he thinks about that part of M's what.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Because I even said, I said, Ky, you didn't think
I was even talking thought about child?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I know you.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, he in the movie because he told me. He
asked me when I did his thing, I was funny.
When I did his stream, I was with all these
little young niggas and it was like, I was just
bugging out. It was a chance for me at fifties two. Man,
you let me.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Off the hook a sleepover with me and I could
be a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I was waiting for him to go to sleep out
of fart right in the mouth, because there's a little
kid that's still living me. And they was like, when
I was bugging out on that ship, They was like, yo,
you like funny funny. We thought you was movie funny.
I said, nigga, I do this. I don't just do movies.
I do stand up. I write movies. I write hours
(14:49):
of material, I write TV shows. I develop a nigga.
Y'all sleep on what I do, and I could be
funny in the moment, So let's go have some fun.
They were like, yo, put me the movie. I was like,
I'm gonna put you in the movie. He said, bet.
I said, I'm gonna kill your ass. And I put
his ass in the movie and I killed his promises
(15:13):
alert I saw that you did.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
You wrote to like different scenes trying to redo the
Dave Chappelle's show in the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I didn't want to redo the Dave Chappelle show. I
tried to get Dave Chappelle to be in the movie.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
Oh, I thought, because isn't the like a play on
different things? I thought you was trying to do a
play on nah.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I wrote two scenes for Dave, and Dave was like,
I want to be in it. And I've hit this
nigga for three months, and yeah, hey, I'm just hitting
your back. Hey, bigfoot, I'm double production. But you know,
I knew Dave was gonna do it. But still the
exercise of writing for Dave, it's no problem. You know,
our opening scene. I wrote fifteen different versions of the
(15:49):
opening scene to finally landed the right person for the
opening scene.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And when the culture sees this, they're gonna be like, oh,
they did this.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So Dave was supposed to be over the scene.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I wrote an opening scene forday. When I sent it
to him, Uh, he just hit me back three months ago.
I can't do it, well, nigga, I finished production six
months ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I love Donelle, but you know I love Donelle, but
you know, Dave, you know, it's like why not to say,
you know, down there ain't great, but you know, David's
cultural icon and Donelle is funny.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yes, how long did it take it?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Right?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Then him, I want New York boys.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He's done some classes. Listen, he done. He got some classics,
you know, Ashley, Larry donell Is, Finny. I seen him
special down there. I watch him rock crowds. That's a funny, man.
But you know that's like hey, uh Michael Jackson or
uh uh Tito Maland you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Come on, yeah, how long did it take you to
write the movie?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh? Man? About eight about I say eight months. We
wrote probably seven hundred and something pages, two different versions
of the script before we landed on the one hundred
and twenty pages we shot, and then we did additional
photography to include some more stuff that we felt could
enhance the movie. So when y'all see this, y'all don't
be like, oh they wild o out on that. There's
(17:29):
a few places where I called my son was like, yo,
this is like brain rot. It was like skippy. They
call the shit skippy, skimmy skimmy toilet. I don't know
some of these gen zs kids out for niggas be
saying it was like this is skimmy toilet. I was like,
what's that, nigga? Yo? It's just so random that But
it's hilarious. It made me feel high when I saw that,
and I didn't smoke or do a gummy I was like,
(17:50):
you sure, because that gummy pack is.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Open, right, Yo, that's a good I never thought that's
that's what that content used to do for us when
we used to watch The Living Colors. You talk about
why it used to make us feel high even if
we weren't.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Because laugh to do that too. That's that's that's that
Doper mean. But we haven't had a great comedy in
a long time. Like to sit down and really laugh
with your family at a movie, and by the end
of this movie, you feel good, the parents feel good,
the kids feel good, and we had a great conversation
about today, about the world through the lens of horror movies.
(18:24):
I'm very proud of this movie, and I'm happy that
me and my brothers came back together. The victory is
already done. When you ask about success, the fact that
we got this movie done, the fact that we work
together again, the fact that I seen my brother Sean
smile on set, seeing Keenan have a good time writing
these jokes. That's why I do it. And whatever God
wants to happen with the movie God Willing.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
How do you honor the past without being trapped by it?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
How do you honor the past like the past movies
without being trapped trapped by the success.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And we just forgot about those last three were just
like we're starting from part two.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Somebody else taking the movies like watching a child become
a crackhead exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It was. It was like, I look at three was decent.
They got the Zucker Brothers. It was decent, but it
was based on the concept that we pitched Mira Max
and they stole Now we could have went and got
our money in Dude, Finchance is God take it? Because
when it did part four, the audiences came to the theater,
it was like, wait, no, no, not that that ship.
That don't taste like the waynes Part five and is like,
(19:20):
I'm done with that bullshit. I'm going to see Haunted House.
And then part six, Wayne's is back. We hope in
the crowd comes because this is for the culture. This
is this is Wayne's branded humor. And I feel like
I feel good about the movie.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Did the studios give you full freedom or what they's like? Nah,
I take that joke.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Out of there. It's funny. John Glickman, who is the
head of Mira Max, I think great executives when they exist,
they have balls. You have to make a ballsy move.
You have to pull out these big Harry balls. John
Glickman and and and Barry Diller pulled out his big
Harry balls when he did a Living Color. Uh, go
out there and see what who h Garth an Seer
(20:01):
and Jamie Kellner pulled out there, and Wes Leslie move
Moon Best pulled out their big ass balls and made
Wayne's Brothers happened mirror Max wine Stein's scary movie Don't
Be a Menaced. They pulled out their balls and they
made those movies happen.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The bet you gotta charge for pulling out his balls, Well.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He literally pulled his balls out. I'm talking my figure
of speech. He really pulled his balls out.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You said, did he tape?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
What the ball?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They all balls?
Speaker 9 (20:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:42):
All balls, no, no, no, all balls, no gun. He's
just in there filling balls. Oh y'all looked at the whole.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
Yeah, as a woman, get into the whole. Forty but
envy washed a few times.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
It's thirty nine to twenty, but I ain't watch you
say we should free Diddy because he's with enough, because.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh that's wow, Joe, that is wild work. I mean,

I don't want to see it. I don't want to
see the screen, not much screen. Well, I mean, explain

Speaker 3 (21:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You know he at least he like, what's just satisfied
the girls? If he ain't got it, you know, maybe
the other guy he got he said he want some
stuff when you it was fine. I mean he big.
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You know, it's funny, is he's big.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
In every suit he it on, it looks small and
the button was struggling because it's trying to keep all
that chesting. And I was just so happy he didn't
want to hit me. I was like, I'm sorry, sir,
me and I didn't. We ain't never had no beef
like that. That's just you know, between you know, it
was never like that. I was you know, it's two

black integrity and everybody do well, black, white, everybody. I
want people to have a good life.

Speaker 8 (23:57):
I feel confident that would make because baby, let me

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, okay, well it's supposed to be rocking.

Yeah, but I'm like, wow, I'm sorry, very movie. Well

Speaker 1 (24:16):
I wish I would have. I would have honestly scared.
We said, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put
that scene, give us something to work with. That's what
I love. I love that I could look at pop
culture and go, what's funny about this, and were.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Getting because you gotta go, will just be showing.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
I was, well, it was about dick and not scary movie.
But you said no because the ladies that came to
your comedy show and it was dressed up as they
were dressed up as white tricks. But it was like
a Bachela Rett weekend. Oh yeah, and you told them
they actually because you said you've never been married, and
they said why and you said you don't want You said,
don't want to where should take?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh damn? I was that honest side. I'm just a giver.
I'm just a giver.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
But that's all.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
If I get married, then I gotta you know, I
got a hold all this day. I was a given man,
you know, and so I that was just a joke
on stage. I hope to get married one day. I do.
I'm older now, I'm fifty three. I'm not a kid.
I actually like the challenge of trying to sit in
a relationship and you know, have meaningful conversation and grow myself,
do some therapy, you know, I want to see what
(25:29):
that's like. I can't go my whole life and never
been married. That's just a scared man. So at this point,
especially when you start walking toward God. I read the
Bible front to back this year, you know, on writing
this movie, because I needed to working with my brothers.
Front the back. I had James ol Jones reading me
the Bible, which was great because it was like Darth
Vader reading me the Bible. It was awesome. It's a
great journey. I would tell anybody to read it front
(25:51):
to back. Now I'm going on a journey of really
studying it because I want I know where I'm going.
I know where I'm headed, and I know I need
God on this journey to just protect acting covering me
and my family. My dad's gone, so he used to
cover our family with prayer and goodness. And now that
he's gone, Who's gonna pick up that baton? And I'm
gonna pick up that baton and the Keenan baton and
(26:11):
I'm you know, God, just tribe to greatness.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
What gets Keenan motivated to do something?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
How much money? Now you get him motivated?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
He's He's like Sean Sean and Keenan.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know, Keenan laid back. That niggas sounds like somebody
shot him on a tranquilizer. Even when he comes, he
probably goes, that was good this way he laughed. That
was funny. Oh, nigga was funny, laugh him and David,
that was funny, nigga laugh. But you know what gets
the motivated. I think family working with family, having a
(26:48):
good time watching. He loves watching my son and Sean's
daughter work together, like the new generation is starting to
work together. My niece Leila got two songs on the soundtrack.
There's twelve and scary movie. It's gonna be a drinking game.
Whenever you see a wayns, you gotta take a shot.
And I don't be fucked up.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Absolutely, but you don't.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Feel like you want to be celebrated because I look
at like Eddie. Eddie's being celebrated right now. He's had
his moments right Arsenio got his memoir. I feel like
there's two individuals, Keenan every Wings and Robert Townsend.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I feel like celebrate them. Yes, I definitely, and they
look we inducted into the NAACP Hall of Fame, me
and the family. And when that happened, you know, I
personally and Damon we thanked Keenan. We personally celebrated our brother.
He needs to start on the Walk of Fame. Absolutely,
definitely need a street. You know it's time. But I'm
(27:42):
still in the beginning of what I'm doing in terms
of with the family, so we ain't done. So it's
not time to really celebrate. But you know, definitely Keenan
need his own biopic. You know we did a lot
and it's time to celebrate them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yes, but we don't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Because of the celebrations. We just do it because we
like making each other laugh and making people laugh. That's
why we do it. We don't do it for the accolades.
We don't do for the trophy. Trophy is we got
to do what we love for a living and took
care of our whole tribe doing it, and better than
everybody's loves.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Keen is one of the Brooks Club interviews that I
hold in high regard because he don't do a lot
of interview.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He came on the breakfast clubs.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
He's got Keenan out down.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
You don't remember that Keenan Wayns.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Was here and y'all even got him on the wall.
Y'all Kean, you got Didy here with a little Thingland
out on the wall and you ain't got no Sean,
no Kean twelve years ago, Marland, Right, there 's Keenan.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We need, we need to have Keenan.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You got to put keen on the wall. Go down,
duddy sham or just take the head off Sam Jackson
and say it's keen.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
What do you think what's the biggest misconception comedians have
about audiences right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
About audiences that they're sensitive. I don't think that's sensitive.
I think we're trying to find out footing. I think
social media is a place that makes everybody got an
opinion about jokes. There was a time where you didn't
have that conversation where if somebody was offended by the joke,
well that was on them. Now they don't agree with something,
(29:18):
they put it out there and then the narratives are
picked up by the media and now it becomes a
big story. But at the end of the day, every
joke you tell, there's going to be a casualty to
every war. When you go to when you're telling jokes,
there's a casualty to every war. And the casualty is
somebody's feelings is going to be hurt. Now, a good joke.
If I'm playing a thousand seedter and I tell a
joke and nine hundred and ninety five people laugh and
(29:41):
five people walk out, don't some bitch ass niggas? Yep,
that's a great joke. Now, if I tell a joke
and nine hundred and ninety five, five people walk out
and five people are laughing. Well, I may want to
work on that material a little bit. You know, that
joke was it didn't land, but maybe to the five people,
(30:02):
which gives me inspiration to go, oh, but there's something
in there. I'm not gonna be afraid to keep going
because one day I'll tell the joke and it's gonna
be the right way where everybody laughs. The audience is
not sensitive. I just think you can't be offensive to
just be offensive. You gotta be offensive to be funny.
You could punch somebody in it. It's like when we
(30:23):
hit hard with kids gloves. So even though we smashing,
you know, it's like we like Looney Tunes. We hit
you over the head with a hammer bow and then
the not grows a silly knock or it makes some
oys or Wiley Karley falls off the cliff. It could
be violent. You show blood and guts and everything that's violence,
but you show that little puffer smoke you laughey. There's
(30:45):
a way to do things, and you could say anything,
but you gotta do it with kids gloves. We never
try to be offensive. We just try to be funny.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I saw you say Tony's joke at the George Floyd
joke at the roast wasn't funny.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It was worker squeezed.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Like look in Scary movie.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
There was things that I thought was hilarious. But I'm
a comedian and have a darker sense of humor. And
but when you're doing entertainment, you have an audience, and
you can't offend most of your audience. So for me,
I looked and was like, yeah, that joke went too far. Yeah,
that joke, I mean it's funny. Sixty percent of the
audience laughed, twenty percent didn't think it was funny, and
(31:25):
twenty percent is on the fence not worth it, not
worth it. I got too many jokes in this movie, too,
because if you tell a bad joke, it stains the
whole the whole entertainment value of what you put together,
the whole roast. Because Tony Hitchcliff get a joke, and
maybe five six of the jokes or maybe twenty of
the jokes, YEH made you.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Look aw and the whole.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Thing left a bad taste in your mouth. But that's
not the entirety of it. But if they would have
took out some of those things that was offensive, they
took out some of those things, you would have really
enjoyed the roast. And that's why you have to really
manage your taste. And you can't do it for shock value.
You know, you gotta be like that one. Don't. Basically,
what I'm saying is, don't do a live roast. Ever again,
(32:11):
don't don't do it. You can film it live, but
you have to be able to have time to go nope,
that gotta come out. If I did scary movie live,
I would never why because I need time to sit
with the audience and go, oh no, that went too far.
That's that's ugly talk about I don't need to talk
about that. That that topic. I didn't hit the right joke.
(32:33):
It wasn't it wasn't funny enough for me to go
there just make them feel bad, So let me take
that out. And if you would have did that and
had the time to really sit there in editing and
make those proper decisions as a producer, then I think
he would have avoided a lot of these problems. But
in comedy, I'm not mad that comedians are trying different material.
(32:55):
That's every night at the comedy store. Not every joke works.
And see when you see a actual you don't know
how many jokes we tried that blew up in our face,
that bombed that night, that before you get to these
minutes in this hour that actually works. There's some things
in sets that don't work. But don't do a live
roast because you got to be able to go know,
(33:17):
I gotta take that out. I gotta take that out.
I gotta take that out. Why because it leaves the
audience feeling a certain way. We don't need to go
there and that that That's what I think that would
be my advice is, don't do it. Live. Some things
you just don't do live and listen.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I got a doctor as a human.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I like to laugh, but I don't see the funny
in somebody tragic death.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
I don't give it.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
George Floyd, Charlie Kirk, Sheryl Underwoods husband committed suicide.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah, it was a lot of It was a lot.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It's like, I don't see there was a lot.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
There was a lot. The devil wrote some of them sets.
What about the one? How about you? I'm not a kid,
but the devil was at work.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
How do you feel about comedians critique and other comedians.
I think here's the thing I have a problem with.
I feel like every comedian gets their day, you're going
to say something that's gonna.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Call absolutely exactly.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I feel like sometimes somebody, these comedians, y'all be standing
on a high horse too much.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
When I don't criticize an other comedians, I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I don't sit here and try to bring nobody down.
I look at the good and everybody. What did you
do good? What you did bad is also a lesson,
But I like to celebrate what you do good. You
don't never see me come on here and bash anybody,
even with Aaric spears. I'm not bashing the brother. I
think he's you know, he's Aaric Sparence.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I think he got talent. You know what I mean?
I think you know the brother doesn't you know I'm
gonna say he's not talented. I'm just saying, you know,
he does good impressions. You know, I'm not gonna sit
here and bash that man. Although thirty different bashes came
to my head, but it's not appropriate for me to
sit here on this platform and bring down the brother.
I just get my version of what I felt was
wrong with me, so I expressed myself. But I'm not
(35:01):
gonna sit here and dog the brother out. I don't
come on here and dog Kevin. I love Kevin and
he's done some great things. Some things he's done. This
not so great, But that's between him, God and the audience.
Dave Chappelle, they try and drag me down. I got
to even the trans community is like in the gay
community're like, you hang out with Dave Chappelle. Okay, I do.
That's my friend. Why can't two things be true at
(35:23):
the same time. Why can't he be a really funny
comedian and we share different points of views and we
still can be friends.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He came to see my set.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Which is about My child, which is about the and
my most important set, and it's about the transition, not
their transition, My transition, dealing with my child going from
being a girl to becoming a boy, and the five
stages of grief that I went through to get to
that acceptance. Dave Chappelle came down to my show, sat
there for an hour and a half, proceeded to come
(35:53):
on stage and tell me how wonderful and powerful that
set was. And we did stand up maybe fifteen twenty minutes,
made the audience lab, we went backstage, and this was
in Yellow Springs. Dayton Ohio went backstage and he gave
me three great notes that I'm put into the special
to enhance the special, And that's the friendship. They was
a great dude, And I'm not gonna let people go
(36:14):
just because the image of somebody. It's like, look, since
when can't we think differently and still be friends. Why
can't a Democrat and a Republican still be friends? Why
I gotta be red all red or all blue? Allow people?
Why I don't hang around I'm a Christian. I don't
hang around just Christians. I got Jewish friends, I got
(36:35):
Muslim friends. Why do I have to choose? And we
all assimilate to the same thing. That's not life. So
social media is trying to make us fucking communists. So
get the fuck off social media. Stay socializing people. You
be you that ain't got nothing to do with me
about the relationship. And like, what if your child didn't
(36:55):
like to chappellejam, I would tell my child, hey, watch
every last thing special and then you can make an assessment.
But don't listen to social media tell you what he
said that was bad.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Listen to the whole context.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Of the story. Watch all his specials. I know Dave
as a person. His intention wasn't to punch down. He
just doubled down, like y'all are gonna laugh, y'all are
gonna laugh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
He was trying to make them laugh.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
That's what comedian does, you tell me, I can't say something,
I'm going there. I'm gonna keep digging and keep digging
until I get that laugh. Well in the day he
maybe still didn't get that laugh. But I appreciate the
effort and the attempt. He should be able to, as
a comedian say what he wants to say, and that's
between him and his audience. But that's between them. I
(37:42):
can't hang with Dave because of that. I think that's silly.
I know it's hard. I would hang with bad people.
He's not a bad dude. He's a good dude. Man.
He got a dark sense of humor sometimes and that's
on him.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
But I love him and I saw he did recently
say that he acknowledged that his jokes have been weaponized.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, and that'll happen, and that's part of him. Like, oh,
I see where and that's growth. You know, when you
was going to do the next one, I said, Dave,
I don't think you need to do this one. Ah,
I need to end this marlin. Okay, nigga, I'm just
telling I don't know if you need to do it.
You said it already and you know, but that's friendship,
(38:20):
that's love.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
He's a great dude. If you ever hung around Dave,
you know it's hard.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Dave is a silly kid that just so happens to
have the brain of a master scientist and a college professor.
He's a brilliant dude. And and but he's not a
bad dude. He's just a comedian and sometimes comedians are
going to offend people.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Has your son ever said that, you know, Dad, you
went too far?
Speaker 1 (38:42):
And he had jokes on him. Oh definitely, But uh, well,
they haven't seen this set yet, but they know my heart.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
They know and they.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Know my heart.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Their mother saw my set.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
What did she say? She laughed hysterically and then and
cried and then laughed again because only her and I
went through this journey and she understood everything that I
was saying, and from what perspective I was saying it from.
There is a father that lost the child that and
another child was made. But she's seen that through the
(39:24):
pain that I because she was with me the whole time.
She's seen that I did this out of love. And
I was very truthful about the entire journey, and I
buried my soul and I even the good, the bad,
and the ugly, and that's comedy. I'm not here. Everything
ain't going land the first part of my set, honestly,
when I'm talking about anger, because five stages of grief
(39:46):
is denial, anger, bargaining, and then it's depression, and then
it's acceptance. I go through every last single face. I'm
not likable in denial. I am ugly in my anger.
And it's not till you get to bargaining that you
start feeling for the character and going oh wow. And
all those people that was rooting for that anger and
(40:08):
that denial and those things that I was saying that
were hateful and feeling those hateful feelings, they're all like yeah, yeah, yeah,
And then they get to bargaining and I realized that
I was wrong in my feelings. And then the audience
is like, oh wow, he just caught us like fish.
And then I drag him deep and I talk about
the depression that came along with it from a human
point of view, thinking about suicide. You know, I've been
(40:30):
through so much stuff and everybody's like, yo, I didn't
even know any of this. And then I get to acceptance.
And then there's everybody that was in the crowd that
has somebody gay in their family, or somebody different, or
somebody a father that is dealing with an interracial marriage.
His white daughter bought this black guy home and they
got this vanillas chocolate kid. Everybody understands that acceptance is
(40:56):
love and there's a journey to get there. Anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
If you leave on denial and you leave on anger,
then you're not giving me a chance when it comes
to bargaining, and you're not listening to depression, and you
will never get to acceptance. And I feel like some
(41:16):
people are so shortthearted right now that they'll walk out
on anger. And that's not it. You got to listen
to it all the way through and think about the intention,
because that's when you get it. You get the heart.
In the last two minutes of the set.
Speaker 8 (41:30):
Does it break your heart? Because I felt the emotion
just now when you were talking about how you and
your son's mom and own two people who understand. Does
it break your heart when people just say I don't
even want to get to the end of all five,
I don't want to understand.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
That don't happen at my shows, right. I've learned how
to say it because I throw myself under a bus
and I go, I'm not likable. I'm not here, but
I'm not here to be liked. I'm here to be respected.
Being liked is for clowns. Being heard is for humans.
Listen to what I'm saying before you judge me. And
a lot of parents that come see my show, I
(42:05):
got them crying. I have dudes and marines crying like yo,
I have a child, were going through the same thing.
And your show just really made me understand. My daughter
got pregnant by this nigger, and I swear to God Jesus,
thank you. She really helped me. I'm gonna go home
and hug that little top baby, you know, because it's
(42:26):
about getting to love, and it is a journey, and
all of us are healing and all of us are
growing and we're not too old to grow. And if
you stand still, then you're not growing and you're dying.
You're dying on the inside. So it's all about growth.
My child taught me true, unconditional love, and I'm very grateful,
and I hope that they have that same unconditional love
when it comes to comedy, because I love me some
(42:47):
comedy and I will never let anybody try and drag
me out of loving comedy. I do this because you
don't even know y'all need this medicine. So don't be
mad at me. If I jump into dark waters to
go find a joke and I come out with nothing,
m h, I'll keep diving, so I come out with
that elixir that is a laugh. So bear with me,
(43:08):
stay patient, stop judging comedy, shut the fuck up, and
laugh because you need it.
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Most counter questions, what do you think comes fro as
comedy of your blackness?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
See? For me, it's hand in hand. I have to
speak from a black man's point of view because I
am a black man, and of course my blackness is
married to the comedian. So I'm a little more forgiving
in terms of the jokes right, in terms of I
have compassion for people on their bomb. Sorry, I do,
(43:42):
because I'm a comedian, you know. But as a black man,
I'm like, nah, you don't need to go there, y'all.
You don't need to go there. And if I, like
I said, there's things, I would be like, don't do that.
I did it on my own movies. Just now. This
thing's in a scary movie y'all will never see because
I was like, I tried it. I tried it, it
(44:03):
didn't work. I'm taking it out. Why Because I don't
want people to feel that way. It's funny to me,
that's funny to dark people with dark minds. But that's
gonna hurt some people, and it's not worth hurting those people.
It's gonna stain my movie. It's not worth it. So
let me keep this, keep it happy. Not to say
that I'm selling out, not to say that I'm not
(44:24):
going there. I'm just going there in a way. My
brother taught me, you tell one joke to make the
whole world laugh. That is your goal as comedian. It's
not to make people feel like, oh, why would you
even go there? When you get this look? That ain't
what you go to do. Comedy for who wants to
sit here doing that? You go to comedy, you want
to ha a ah, those are the emotions you want
(44:48):
to do. And I say dark stuff on stage, but
my dark stuff comes about at my expense, my pain.
So I don't just sit there and punch down on
people about them. I talk about me. So I think blackness.
It's like Richard Pryor, he was a comedian and he
held down blackness. Dave Chappelle holds down blackness. And I
(45:13):
think for the most part, if you talk about the roast,
I feel like you shouldn't have did it live because
I'm sure in hindsight it's twenty twenty and he different
decisions would have been made. But in that point and
you're doing it live, it's too much pressure. You got
(45:34):
to stop the show, gotcha?
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Are you gonna spoof him? It's my last? Are you
gonna spoof him? And scary movie? Who Him?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
The movie Him? No? Forgot like who no, no, no no.
The movie didn't do good enough for me. But I
actually had a him joke in there. I wrote to
him scenes and then I was like, eh, I don't
want to do it, you know, say, let's just move
on Yeah, because it would have been like an inside Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You got a scary movie eating there It is on
the fifth. Yes, how does it feel to be back
with the franchise and doing what you're supposed to be doing?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Everything is God, That's what it feels like. It feels
like you go on this long journey and you know,
serendipity happens. It's like, you know, there's something that was
there that got stripped away, and now you have this
opportunity to do it again and do it bigger and
better at a time in the world where I think
the world needs these laughs the most. And so you know,
(01:33):
here we are. God, God, God wanted us to do this.
It's funny. My dad, it's responsible for us doing this movie.
Because yeah, because my dad when he was you know,
he was dying, he was like, you know, he was
in the hospital. He was like, I want you and
your brothers to work together again. And I was like, oh.
I was like, you know how hard it is to
get four black men on the same page. You know,
(01:55):
that's why no audition keep breaking up. You know, we
got four Bobby Browns in our group, you know what
I mean, four tops. There's only two of them left.
It's hard to keep that kind of you know, stuff going.
So I was like, I don't know if it's gonna happen. Pop,
he was like, come on, you guys do magic together.
I said, all right, I said, he goes. I know, Pop,
it goes for me. I said, all right for you.
(02:17):
He said, you promise. I was like, damn this nigga.
I was like, I promise, and he made me shake
his hand. I shook his hand and then, uh, you know,
a couple like days later, my dad was gone. But
you know, my dad raised me on the Bible, and
first one of the first things in the Bible is
honor that mother and father for the days on this
earth will be longer. So I listened to my dad.
(02:38):
I listened to what my parents wanted, and I may
make sure this movie happened. And we made it happen,
and you know, hopefully this will be the biggest one.
You know, my dad saw something him and God saw something,
you know, so I think they knew the world needed
a laugh. And it wasn't like his deathbed. It wasn't
like my dad's last wish was I want you boy
to get together and do them shit jokes together.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I want you to do them five jokes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That's my last wish. More, come on the ceiling, you know,
put another Dick and Shawn's here, but get I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Is that a real story or that he told the
brothers to get everybody together.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And then didn't believe me.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I'm like, that's what you wanted, right, did you have
to do?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You want to come into it? That hypnotizes NI because
se Sean Sean be like, I'm good. Sean don't really
care about this grind like I do. We're different. We're
just we've always been different. I like this grind. This
is what I do. I was born here to do this.
I didn't understand my calling in terms of stand up
till I really started doing it. I was like, wait,
this is what it is. This is that ship has
(03:48):
cracked me. The dopamine levels is up here. I like
doing this. I like to chase my brother, Sean likes
to chill, and he likes to do it at his pace,
and so I'm going to keep on doing this and
whenever he ready, Yo, let's jump into another one. Let's
jump into another one. But watching him on this movie,
and he's hilarious in the movie, you just see how
much he missed it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I understand why you don't take showing out too much.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Lai.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I understand that we're talking about trying to stop.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I keep telling him, and I was like, yo, Charlamann,
you with the wrong wing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Discolorad niggas keep picking on shot that we three different
colored flats from the shot. You three black niggas. Leave
this nigga. This pretty even his business, you know what
(04:50):
you know?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I mean, leave the brother alone?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why you and Areas was like, why you care about
what he always wearing shades?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Let the nigga wear shades.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He wears shades in the shower. I haven't shown Sean's
eyes in fifteen years. I don't know what we got
highes behind them ships. I don't know dinner when my
parents won him at the hooddle, I know that was
his eyes. You care you need the shame that your
black ass eyes. Anybody needs shame.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You dude alone about two weeks ago because both of
y'all was on the schedule and he was like, yeah,
he was on. He's like, I can't wait to see
both of them come up here, man, because you.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Know, both of y'all have grown. And I said, man,
don't remind that nigga what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I ain't gotta remind him. Sean already, remember, don't come
here because he don't want to fuck you up. But
I'm like, Sean knows him. He's like, yo' he gonna
say something smart, but I tried. I was like that,
y'all both have allved, you both grown. I told him.
I said, look, Charlamagne, he grew up in therapy. He
and all them different colors. He only two black men.
(05:49):
He's a better man. He rich making money. I said,
he passed that. Sean was like, I don't know, just
in case, you know, because he don't want to risk
his money. Sean's not that dude.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Let me tell you something, Sean.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
This of funny Sean is. Back in the day, it
was this kid, right Sean, Nigga talking ship to Sewn.
Sean talked ship back this kid Mike, and the kid
was like. Sean was like, I'll fuck you up. Michael
was like, right right, he said, you think I'm playing
right right? Seawn said, say right one more time? He
said right right. Sean said, no, Nigga left and on
(06:24):
the left hand. That's how Sean's got that guy. So
when I say, you know, I know y'all bring it up.
You know, no, we on the Breakfast Club, y'all gonna
bring up that was twenty and what I tell you
on why are you bringing that up? But I'm trying
to I think he's a step closer. He walked toward
the building and turns out. But I think the next time.
(06:48):
I think he's gonna come on.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
FaceTime one time, just.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
You could tell what the aries interview like. That wasn't
like some interview I'll fuck you up. That was something
keep this nigga at home, We'll keeping.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I was like, Yo, don't be playing with Sean. Ain't
that dude he sit there with and and Sean was
funny because he was like, he's a bitch. I said, wait, Sean,
we going with this? He's a and that, and then
the Arias response was yeah, what about his stand up though?
And Sean's like, I said, you a bitch. Let's discuss that,
(07:26):
and then we could talk about my stand up. Can
you tell me because you bring in the wrong due
that Sean mind is business and you know Aris, I
ain't never had a problem with Arias. We ain't got
no problem. I wish the brother nothing but love. Why
is my name in your mouth? Well, I'm doing this.
I have this problem with DJ Van, you know, me
and Vlad over it. But for you to talk about
my price, if I say on your platform you gotta
(07:48):
pay me this, then that's what you're gonna pay me,
because that's what I feel my value is worth. But
it's not for you, as a black man, to go
on a white man's platform and discuss my value, he asked,
because he was asking everybody. You know, Hey D L. Hugley,
that's not my business right now, Hey Tony yeo yo black,
that's not my business, you know. He then he asked
aries Aries, Well, you got to ask yourself, is the
(08:11):
juice worth the squeeze? If you're talking about Marlon Wayans
you talking about, is the jew worth the squeeze? Full up?
First of all, why are you talking about my money?
Why do you have an opinion? I don't have an
opinion about your money. When you sound like an old coon,
a slave, you sound like you sound like the nigga
Sam Jackson played in and Jago bos If in the
(08:31):
juice It's worth the squeeze boat?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Old?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I need to say both.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Is that juice worth the squeeze boat?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Nigga? Now fast forward to who's in the beef with
Blad trying to get their money and Blad once again
putting your stuff public. That's a bad negotiation tactic. First
of all, Flag and I don't sit there and go, hey, blad, boss,
is the juice worth the squeeze that's between you and
that man. I wish, I wish you get your money aries,
(09:02):
but you ain't gotta sit there and try and drag
me down. He talked about my stand up. He talk
about this. He always got something smart to say. And
one day he gonna fuck around. He gonna see Sean,
and before Sean beat that nigga ass because that he
won't happen. And I'm you know, we doing more than
just stand up like we got. We got money that
(09:23):
we're making, right, So I'm like yo, and people soue
nowadays get little titious.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And before Sean beat that niggas Ass'm gonna hold my
brother back and.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Sean Sean, Sean, Hey is the juice the squeeze right right,
And Sean's gonna go nah left, Leave niggas alone, Leave
the sleeping Jihant's alone.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Man, That's all.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I ain't bother you about your little creepy pedophile sketch.
Leave us the funck alone.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Bro, Damn, you're right. You got a scary movie, right?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah? Are?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I am not calling a scary movie six for a reason.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
We rebranded, we rebooking, you know what I mean. It's
a brand new start. It's back rebooting.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Forget the We basically pulled up that thing from Men
in Black.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Was like we saw this whole y'all looking here and
say it behind the bay. We start from scratch and
it's gonna be more.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's gonna be more.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, this hit. I just want to know this. I
want the world to laugh again. I feel like we
haven't had a good laugh. Everything is all here and
I feel like we know I hit the sweet spot
where you can feel it's offensively hilarious. It's not just offensive.
It's not like, oh, we'll leave you with a bad
tasting the mouth. It's like, oh, oh that's good. It's inclusive.
(10:44):
That's what we've always done, the Wayne's brand, humor and
living color. We did things that was you know, white chicks.
You know, we do things that when we send somebody up,
we hope that the people we send up laugh the loudest.
You know why they can't cancel us for white chicks.
You know who loves white chicks the most white chicks.
They loved that movie.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And I was gonna say that now that you got
shown out the house. You gotta do White Chicks like
you have to know. I'm not gonna I slept on
White Chicks.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
If Scared Of makes funny, you just like it because
the Dominican dudes in the beginning, No Dominican. It was
too much like Damien and Damien Dominican. You Dominican.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was on the airplane and I watched it right
and I was like, Yo, this is the funny sh
and I started telling me, but I could not believe
it was that fun I think.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
This is what this was years ago. I don't want
to go see that exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I seen it on the plane and I was like,
this is amazing, and I got stuck on it. But
I'm like, I feel like that movie is underrated. First,
I feel like it's one of those movies that we
don't talk about enough.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But I need a part too. I will say this,
If Scared Of Me and Sean both said, this scary
movie make money.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
We see people want to laugh again.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
They come out and droves. Make this a hit. Yeah,
we're doing White Chicks too. That will be next White
Chicks too. Scary movie. Seven. I'm gonna do Scar of
thirty six, y'all, gonna be so tired scary movies. I'm like,
fuck that more.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know what's so interesting. Horror movies are making such
a huge comeback in Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Right, That's why the biggest movies this year, That's why
the scary movie franchise. Right now, with these huge movies,
you got obsession, you got back room. I'm like, I
can start writing part seven right now.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
So you keep saying if it hit, do you have
any doubt that it won't?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You know, you never know. We never do things like that, right,
I don't curse it. I don't spit up in the air.
I hope you always hope. But there's you know, I
ain't like, yeah, we don't. I don't self proclaim to
be yo, we this. I just hope God wills this
to happen. If he does, then I know what my
purpose is. But I'm not gonna be like, yeah, we
that didn't and then the movie make a dollar fifty
(12:43):
and then I'm like, well, what I had meant to
say is if the juice were squeeze, No, I hope
it makes money.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think the culture wants to see. This is for
the culture.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This movie is for the team teenager and the grown
up that went to see it when Scary Movie first
came out when they were teenagers, and now they're grown
with teenage kids, and now they could bring that team.
That teenager that's not an adult can bring their child
to come see Scary movie and introduce them to this
humor that's been missing from this generation, and both of
(13:18):
them collapse because this is a cultural clash up. This
is about a generational thing. It's a legacy movie. So
we got the old school niggas with the new school,
and it's a battle of who really belongs here, what
sensibility is wrong here? It's a really smart movie. You
got no I got a kai ass character. I got
a kai my child. I thought you child cou My
(13:45):
daughter just changed the name. Well, now my son changed
the name from minak.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I that you gotta adjust too. Yeah, I gotta know
what he thinks about that part of M's what.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Because I even said, I said, Ky, you didn't think
I was even talking thought about child?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I know you.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, he in the movie because he told me. He
asked me when I did his thing, I was funny.
When I did his stream, I was with all these
little young niggas and it was like, I was just
bugging out. It was a chance for me at fifties two. Man,
you let me.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Off the hook a sleepover with me and I could
be a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I was waiting for him to go to sleep out
of fart right in the mouth, because there's a little
kid that's still living me. And they was like, when
I was bugging out on that ship, They was like, yo,
you like funny funny. We thought you was movie funny.
I said, nigga, I do this. I don't just do movies.
I do stand up. I write movies. I write hours
(14:49):
of material, I write TV shows. I develop a nigga.
Y'all sleep on what I do, and I could be
funny in the moment, So let's go have some fun.
They were like, yo, put me the movie. I was like,
I'm gonna put you in the movie. He said, bet.
I said, I'm gonna kill your ass. And I put
his ass in the movie and I killed his promises
(15:13):
alert I saw that you did.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
You wrote to like different scenes trying to redo the
Dave Chappelle's show in the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I didn't want to redo the Dave Chappelle show. I
tried to get Dave Chappelle to be in the movie.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
Oh, I thought, because isn't the like a play on
different things? I thought you was trying to do a
play on nah.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I wrote two scenes for Dave, and Dave was like,
I want to be in it. And I've hit this
nigga for three months, and yeah, hey, I'm just hitting
your back. Hey, bigfoot, I'm double production. But you know,
I knew Dave was gonna do it. But still the
exercise of writing for Dave, it's no problem. You know,
our opening scene. I wrote fifteen different versions of the
(15:49):
opening scene to finally landed the right person for the
opening scene.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And when the culture sees this, they're gonna be like, oh,
they did this.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So Dave was supposed to be over the scene.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I wrote an opening scene forday. When I sent it
to him, Uh, he just hit me back three months ago.
I can't do it, well, nigga, I finished production six
months ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I love Donelle, but you know I love Donelle, but
you know, Dave, you know, it's like why not to say,
you know, down there ain't great, but you know, David's
cultural icon and Donelle is funny.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yes, how long did it take it?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Right?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Then him, I want New York boys.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He's done some classes. Listen, he done. He got some classics,
you know, Ashley, Larry donell Is, Finny. I seen him
special down there. I watch him rock crowds. That's a funny, man.
But you know that's like hey, uh Michael Jackson or
uh uh Tito Maland you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Come on, yeah, how long did it take you to
write the movie?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh? Man? About eight about I say eight months. We
wrote probably seven hundred and something pages, two different versions
of the script before we landed on the one hundred
and twenty pages we shot, and then we did additional
photography to include some more stuff that we felt could
enhance the movie. So when y'all see this, y'all don't
be like, oh they wild o out on that. There's
(17:29):
a few places where I called my son was like, yo,
this is like brain rot. It was like skippy. They
call the shit skippy, skimmy skimmy toilet. I don't know
some of these gen zs kids out for niggas be
saying it was like this is skimmy toilet. I was like,
what's that, nigga? Yo? It's just so random that But
it's hilarious. It made me feel high when I saw that,
and I didn't smoke or do a gummy I was like,
(17:50):
you sure, because that gummy pack is.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Open, right, Yo, that's a good I never thought that's
that's what that content used to do for us when
we used to watch The Living Colors. You talk about
why it used to make us feel high even if
we weren't.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Because laugh to do that too. That's that's that's that
Doper mean. But we haven't had a great comedy in
a long time. Like to sit down and really laugh
with your family at a movie, and by the end
of this movie, you feel good, the parents feel good,
the kids feel good, and we had a great conversation
about today, about the world through the lens of horror movies.
(18:24):
I'm very proud of this movie, and I'm happy that
me and my brothers came back together. The victory is
already done. When you ask about success, the fact that
we got this movie done, the fact that we work
together again, the fact that I seen my brother Sean
smile on set, seeing Keenan have a good time writing
these jokes. That's why I do it. And whatever God
wants to happen with the movie God Willing.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
How do you honor the past without being trapped by it?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
How do you honor the past like the past movies
without being trapped trapped by the success.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And we just forgot about those last three were just
like we're starting from part two.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Somebody else taking the movies like watching a child become
a crackhead exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It was. It was like, I look at three was decent.
They got the Zucker Brothers. It was decent, but it
was based on the concept that we pitched Mira Max
and they stole Now we could have went and got
our money in Dude, Finchance is God take it? Because
when it did part four, the audiences came to the theater,
it was like, wait, no, no, not that that ship.
That don't taste like the waynes Part five and is like,
(19:20):
I'm done with that bullshit. I'm going to see Haunted House.
And then part six, Wayne's is back. We hope in
the crowd comes because this is for the culture. This
is this is Wayne's branded humor. And I feel like
I feel good about the movie.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Did the studios give you full freedom or what they's like? Nah,
I take that joke.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Out of there. It's funny. John Glickman, who is the
head of Mira Max, I think great executives when they exist,
they have balls. You have to make a ballsy move.
You have to pull out these big Harry balls. John
Glickman and and and Barry Diller pulled out his big
Harry balls when he did a Living Color. Uh, go
out there and see what who h Garth an Seer
(20:01):
and Jamie Kellner pulled out there, and Wes Leslie move
Moon Best pulled out their big ass balls and made
Wayne's Brothers happened mirror Max wine Stein's scary movie Don't
Be a Menaced. They pulled out their balls and they
made those movies happen.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The bet you gotta charge for pulling out his balls, Well.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He literally pulled his balls out. I'm talking my figure
of speech. He really pulled his balls out.
Speaker 3 (20:29):

You know, it's funny, is he's big.

In every suit he it on, it looks small and
the button was struggling because it's trying to keep all

movie we talked about doing years ago. I'm doing another
movie right now with Kiky Palmer that I wrote and producing.
I'm really thinking going. I want to put something together
and put him in it. You know, I ain't got
no beef. I got no beef with no black man
or black man with three colors. I have no beef

with nobody. I am here for peace and love and
black integrity and everybody do well, black, white, everybody. I
want people to have a good life.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Just just leave niggas alone.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Well, I have a question that's definitely a crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't know how we got to talk about Diddy's balls.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Random but no reason.
Speaker 1 (23:02):

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Watch looking like ship.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
I feel confident that would make because baby, let me
tell you something. He sat down on that couch. It
was like wow, like it was just all the way

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, okay, well it's supposed to be rocking.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Yeah, but I'm like, wow, I'm sorry, very movie. Well
I was.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I wish I would have. I would have honestly scared.
We said, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put
that scene, give us something to work with. That's what
I love. I love that I could look at pop
culture and go, what's funny about this, and were.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Getting because you gotta go, will just be showing.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
I was, well, it was about dick and not scary movie.
But you said no because the ladies that came to
your comedy show and it was dressed up as they
were dressed up as white tricks. But it was like
a Bachela Rett weekend. Oh yeah, and you told them
they actually because you said you've never been married, and
they said why and you said you don't want You said,
don't want to where should take?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh damn? I was that honest side. I'm just a giver.
I'm just a giver.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
But that's all.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
If I get married, then I gotta you know, I
got a hold all this day. I was a given man,
you know, and so I that was just a joke
on stage. I hope to get married one day. I do.
I'm older now, I'm fifty three. I'm not a kid.
I actually like the challenge of trying to sit in
a relationship and you know, have meaningful conversation and grow myself,
do some therapy, you know, I want to see what
(25:29):
that's like. I can't go my whole life and never
been married. That's just a scared man. So at this point,
especially when you start walking toward God. I read the
Bible front to back this year, you know, on writing
this movie, because I needed to working with my brothers.
Front the back. I had James ol Jones reading me
the Bible, which was great because it was like Darth
Vader reading me the Bible. It was awesome. It's a
great journey. I would tell anybody to read it front
(25:51):
to back. Now I'm going on a journey of really
studying it because I want I know where I'm going.
I know where I'm headed, and I know I need
God on this journey to just protect acting covering me
and my family. My dad's gone, so he used to
cover our family with prayer and goodness. And now that
he's gone, Who's gonna pick up that baton? And I'm
gonna pick up that baton and the Keenan baton and
(26:11):
I'm you know, God, just tribe to greatness.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
What gets Keenan motivated to do something?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
How much money? Now you get him motivated?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
He's He's like Sean Sean and Keenan.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know, Keenan laid back. That niggas sounds like somebody
shot him on a tranquilizer. Even when he comes, he
probably goes, that was good this way he laughed. That
was funny. Oh, nigga was funny, laugh him and David,
that was funny, nigga laugh. But you know what gets
the motivated. I think family working with family, having a
(26:48):
good time watching. He loves watching my son and Sean's
daughter work together, like the new generation is starting to
work together. My niece Leila got two songs on the soundtrack.
There's twelve and scary movie. It's gonna be a drinking game.
Whenever you see a wayns, you gotta take a shot.
And I don't be fucked up.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Absolutely, but you don't.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Feel like you want to be celebrated because I look
at like Eddie. Eddie's being celebrated right now. He's had
his moments right Arsenio got his memoir. I feel like
there's two individuals, Keenan every Wings and Robert Townsend.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I feel like celebrate them. Yes, I definitely, and they
look we inducted into the NAACP Hall of Fame, me
and the family. And when that happened, you know, I
personally and Damon we thanked Keenan. We personally celebrated our brother.
He needs to start on the Walk of Fame. Absolutely,
definitely need a street. You know it's time. But I'm
(27:42):
still in the beginning of what I'm doing in terms
of with the family, so we ain't done. So it's
not time to really celebrate. But you know, definitely Keenan
need his own biopic. You know we did a lot
and it's time to celebrate them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yes, but we don't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Because of the celebrations. We just do it because we
like making each other laugh and making people laugh. That's
why we do it. We don't do it for the accolades.
We don't do for the trophy. Trophy is we got
to do what we love for a living and took
care of our whole tribe doing it, and better than
everybody's loves.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Keen is one of the Brooks Club interviews that I
hold in high regard because he don't do a lot
of interview.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He came on the breakfast clubs.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
He's got Keenan out down.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
You don't remember that Keenan Wayns.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Was here and y'all even got him on the wall.
Y'all Kean, you got Didy here with a little Thingland
out on the wall and you ain't got no Sean,
no Kean twelve years ago, Marland, Right, there 's Keenan.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We need, we need to have Keenan.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You got to put keen on the wall. Go down,
duddy sham or just take the head off Sam Jackson
and say it's keen.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
What do you think what's the biggest misconception comedians have
about audiences right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
About audiences that they're sensitive. I don't think that's sensitive.
I think we're trying to find out footing. I think
social media is a place that makes everybody got an
opinion about jokes. There was a time where you didn't
have that conversation where if somebody was offended by the joke,
well that was on them. Now they don't agree with something,
(29:18):
they put it out there and then the narratives are
picked up by the media and now it becomes a
big story. But at the end of the day, every
joke you tell, there's going to be a casualty to
every war. When you go to when you're telling jokes,
there's a casualty to every war. And the casualty is
somebody's feelings is going to be hurt. Now, a good joke.
If I'm playing a thousand seedter and I tell a
joke and nine hundred and ninety five people laugh and
(29:41):
five people walk out, don't some bitch ass niggas? Yep,
that's a great joke. Now, if I tell a joke
and nine hundred and ninety five, five people walk out
and five people are laughing. Well, I may want to
work on that material a little bit. You know, that
joke was it didn't land, but maybe to the five people,
(30:02):
which gives me inspiration to go, oh, but there's something
in there. I'm not gonna be afraid to keep going
because one day I'll tell the joke and it's gonna
be the right way where everybody laughs. The audience is
not sensitive. I just think you can't be offensive to
just be offensive. You gotta be offensive to be funny.
You could punch somebody in it. It's like when we
(30:23):
hit hard with kids gloves. So even though we smashing,
you know, it's like we like Looney Tunes. We hit
you over the head with a hammer bow and then
the not grows a silly knock or it makes some
oys or Wiley Karley falls off the cliff. It could
be violent. You show blood and guts and everything that's violence,
but you show that little puffer smoke you laughey. There's
(30:45):
a way to do things, and you could say anything,
but you gotta do it with kids gloves. We never
try to be offensive. We just try to be funny.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I saw you say Tony's joke at the George Floyd
joke at the roast wasn't funny.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It was worker squeezed.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Like look in Scary movie.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
There was things that I thought was hilarious. But I'm
a comedian and have a darker sense of humor. And
but when you're doing entertainment, you have an audience, and
you can't offend most of your audience. So for me,
I looked and was like, yeah, that joke went too far. Yeah,
that joke, I mean it's funny. Sixty percent of the
audience laughed, twenty percent didn't think it was funny, and
(31:25):
twenty percent is on the fence not worth it, not
worth it. I got too many jokes in this movie, too,
because if you tell a bad joke, it stains the
whole the whole entertainment value of what you put together,
the whole roast. Because Tony Hitchcliff get a joke, and
maybe five six of the jokes or maybe twenty of
the jokes, YEH made you.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Look aw and the whole.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Thing left a bad taste in your mouth. But that's
not the entirety of it. But if they would have
took out some of those things that was offensive, they
took out some of those things, you would have really
enjoyed the roast. And that's why you have to really
manage your taste. And you can't do it for shock value.
You know, you gotta be like that one. Don't. Basically,
what I'm saying is, don't do a live roast. Ever again,
(32:11):
don't don't do it. You can film it live, but
you have to be able to have time to go nope,
that gotta come out. If I did scary movie live,
I would never why because I need time to sit
with the audience and go, oh no, that went too far.
That's that's ugly talk about I don't need to talk
about that. That that topic. I didn't hit the right joke.
(32:33):
It wasn't it wasn't funny enough for me to go
there just make them feel bad, So let me take
that out. And if you would have did that and
had the time to really sit there in editing and
make those proper decisions as a producer, then I think
he would have avoided a lot of these problems. But
in comedy, I'm not mad that comedians are trying different material.
(32:55):
That's every night at the comedy store. Not every joke works.
And see when you see a actual you don't know
how many jokes we tried that blew up in our face,
that bombed that night, that before you get to these
minutes in this hour that actually works. There's some things
in sets that don't work. But don't do a live
roast because you got to be able to go know,
(33:17):
I gotta take that out. I gotta take that out.
I gotta take that out. Why because it leaves the
audience feeling a certain way. We don't need to go
there and that that That's what I think that would
be my advice is, don't do it. Live. Some things
you just don't do live and listen.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I got a doctor as a human.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I like to laugh, but I don't see the funny
in somebody tragic death.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
I don't give it.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
George Floyd, Charlie Kirk, Sheryl Underwoods husband committed suicide.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah, it was a lot of It was a lot.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It's like, I don't see there was a lot.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
There was a lot. The devil wrote some of them sets.
What about the one? How about you? I'm not a kid,
but the devil was at work.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
How do you feel about comedians critique and other comedians.
I think here's the thing I have a problem with.
I feel like every comedian gets their day, you're going
to say something that's gonna.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Call absolutely exactly.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I feel like sometimes somebody, these comedians, y'all be standing
on a high horse too much.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
When I don't criticize an other comedians, I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I don't sit here and try to bring nobody down.
I look at the good and everybody. What did you
do good? What you did bad is also a lesson,
But I like to celebrate what you do good. You
don't never see me come on here and bash anybody,
even with Aaric spears. I'm not bashing the brother. I
think he's you know, he's Aaric Sparence.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I think he got talent. You know what I mean?
I think you know the brother doesn't you know I'm
gonna say he's not talented. I'm just saying, you know,
he does good impressions. You know, I'm not gonna sit
here and bash that man. Although thirty different bashes came
to my head, but it's not appropriate for me to
sit here on this platform and bring down the brother.
I just get my version of what I felt was
wrong with me, so I expressed myself. But I'm not
(35:01):
gonna sit here and dog the brother out. I don't
come on here and dog Kevin. I love Kevin and
he's done some great things. Some things he's done. This
not so great, But that's between him, God and the audience.
Dave Chappelle, they try and drag me down. I got
to even the trans community is like in the gay
community're like, you hang out with Dave Chappelle. Okay, I do.
That's my friend. Why can't two things be true at
(35:23):
the same time. Why can't he be a really funny
comedian and we share different points of views and we
still can be friends.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He came to see my set.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Which is about My child, which is about the and
my most important set, and it's about the transition, not
their transition, My transition, dealing with my child going from
being a girl to becoming a boy, and the five
stages of grief that I went through to get to
that acceptance. Dave Chappelle came down to my show, sat
there for an hour and a half, proceeded to come
(35:53):
on stage and tell me how wonderful and powerful that
set was. And we did stand up maybe fifteen twenty minutes,
made the audience lab, we went backstage, and this was
in Yellow Springs. Dayton Ohio went backstage and he gave
me three great notes that I'm put into the special
to enhance the special, And that's the friendship. They was
a great dude, And I'm not gonna let people go
(36:14):
just because the image of somebody. It's like, look, since
when can't we think differently and still be friends. Why
can't a Democrat and a Republican still be friends? Why
I gotta be red all red or all blue? Allow people?
Why I don't hang around I'm a Christian. I don't
hang around just Christians. I got Jewish friends, I got
(36:35):
Muslim friends. Why do I have to choose? And we
all assimilate to the same thing. That's not life. So
social media is trying to make us fucking communists. So
get the fuck off social media. Stay socializing people. You
be you that ain't got nothing to do with me
about the relationship. And like, what if your child didn't
(36:55):
like to chappellejam, I would tell my child, hey, watch
every last thing special and then you can make an assessment.
But don't listen to social media tell you what he
said that was bad.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Listen to the whole context.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Of the story. Watch all his specials. I know Dave
as a person. His intention wasn't to punch down. He
just doubled down, like y'all are gonna laugh, y'all are
gonna laugh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
He was trying to make them laugh.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
That's what comedian does, you tell me, I can't say something,
I'm going there. I'm gonna keep digging and keep digging
until I get that laugh. Well in the day he
maybe still didn't get that laugh. But I appreciate the
effort and the attempt. He should be able to, as
a comedian say what he wants to say, and that's
between him and his audience. But that's between them. I
(37:42):
can't hang with Dave because of that. I think that's silly.
I know it's hard. I would hang with bad people.
He's not a bad dude. He's a good dude. Man.
He got a dark sense of humor sometimes and that's
on him.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
But I love him and I saw he did recently
say that he acknowledged that his jokes have been weaponized.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, and that'll happen, and that's part of him. Like, oh,
I see where and that's growth. You know, when you
was going to do the next one, I said, Dave,
I don't think you need to do this one. Ah,
I need to end this marlin. Okay, nigga, I'm just
telling I don't know if you need to do it.
You said it already and you know, but that's friendship,
(38:20):
that's love.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
He's a great dude. If you ever hung around Dave,
you know it's hard.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Dave is a silly kid that just so happens to
have the brain of a master scientist and a college professor.
He's a brilliant dude. And and but he's not a
bad dude. He's just a comedian and sometimes comedians are
going to offend people.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Has your son ever said that, you know, Dad, you
went too far?
Speaker 1 (38:42):
And he had jokes on him. Oh definitely, But uh, well,
they haven't seen this set yet, but they know my heart.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
They know and they.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Know my heart.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Their mother saw my set.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
What did she say? She laughed hysterically and then and
cried and then laughed again because only her and I
went through this journey and she understood everything that I
was saying, and from what perspective I was saying it from.
There is a father that lost the child that and
another child was made. But she's seen that through the
(39:24):
pain that I because she was with me the whole time.
She's seen that I did this out of love. And
I was very truthful about the entire journey, and I
buried my soul and I even the good, the bad,
and the ugly, and that's comedy. I'm not here. Everything
ain't going land the first part of my set, honestly,
when I'm talking about anger, because five stages of grief
(39:46):
is denial, anger, bargaining, and then it's depression, and then
it's acceptance. I go through every last single face. I'm
not likable in denial. I am ugly in my anger.
And it's not till you get to bargaining that you
start feeling for the character and going oh wow. And
all those people that was rooting for that anger and
(40:08):
that denial and those things that I was saying that
were hateful and feeling those hateful feelings, they're all like yeah, yeah, yeah,
And then they get to bargaining and I realized that
I was wrong in my feelings. And then the audience
is like, oh wow, he just caught us like fish.
And then I drag him deep and I talk about
the depression that came along with it from a human
point of view, thinking about suicide. You know, I've been
(40:30):
through so much stuff and everybody's like, yo, I didn't
even know any of this. And then I get to acceptance.
And then there's everybody that was in the crowd that
has somebody gay in their family, or somebody different, or
somebody a father that is dealing with an interracial marriage.
His white daughter bought this black guy home and they
got this vanillas chocolate kid. Everybody understands that acceptance is
(40:56):
love and there's a journey to get there. Anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
If you leave on denial and you leave on anger,
then you're not giving me a chance when it comes
to bargaining, and you're not listening to depression, and you
will never get to acceptance. And I feel like some
(41:16):
people are so shortthearted right now that they'll walk out
on anger. And that's not it. You got to listen
to it all the way through and think about the intention,
because that's when you get it. You get the heart.
In the last two minutes of the set.
Speaker 8 (41:30):
Does it break your heart? Because I felt the emotion
just now when you were talking about how you and
your son's mom and own two people who understand. Does
it break your heart when people just say I don't
even want to get to the end of all five,
I don't want to understand.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
That don't happen at my shows, right. I've learned how
to say it because I throw myself under a bus
and I go, I'm not likable. I'm not here, but
I'm not here to be liked. I'm here to be respected.
Being liked is for clowns. Being heard is for humans.
Listen to what I'm saying before you judge me. And
a lot of parents that come see my show, I
(42:05):
got them crying. I have dudes and marines crying like yo,
I have a child, were going through the same thing.
And your show just really made me understand. My daughter
got pregnant by this nigger, and I swear to God Jesus,
thank you. She really helped me. I'm gonna go home
and hug that little top baby, you know, because it's
(42:26):
about getting to love, and it is a journey, and
all of us are healing and all of us are
growing and we're not too old to grow. And if
you stand still, then you're not growing and you're dying.
You're dying on the inside. So it's all about growth.
My child taught me true, unconditional love, and I'm very grateful,
and I hope that they have that same unconditional love
when it comes to comedy, because I love me some
(42:47):
comedy and I will never let anybody try and drag
me out of loving comedy. I do this because you
don't even know y'all need this medicine. So don't be
mad at me. If I jump into dark waters to
go find a joke and I come out with nothing,
m h, I'll keep diving, so I come out with
that elixir that is a laugh. So bear with me,
(43:08):
stay patient, stop judging comedy, shut the fuck up, and
laugh because you need it.
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Most counter questions, what do you think comes fro as
comedy of your blackness?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
See? For me, it's hand in hand. I have to
speak from a black man's point of view because I
am a black man, and of course my blackness is
married to the comedian. So I'm a little more forgiving
in terms of the jokes right, in terms of I
have compassion for people on their bomb. Sorry, I do,
(43:42):
because I'm a comedian, you know. But as a black man,
I'm like, nah, you don't need to go there, y'all.
You don't need to go there. And if I, like
I said, there's things, I would be like, don't do that.
I did it on my own movies. Just now. This
thing's in a scary movie y'all will never see because
I was like, I tried it. I tried it, it
(44:03):
didn't work. I'm taking it out. Why Because I don't
want people to feel that way. It's funny to me,
that's funny to dark people with dark minds. But that's
gonna hurt some people, and it's not worth hurting those people.
It's gonna stain my movie. It's not worth it. So
let me keep this, keep it happy. Not to say
that I'm selling out, not to say that I'm not
(44:24):
going there. I'm just going there in a way. My
brother taught me, you tell one joke to make the
whole world laugh. That is your goal as comedian. It's
not to make people feel like, oh, why would you
even go there? When you get this look? That ain't
what you go to do. Comedy for who wants to
sit here doing that? You go to comedy, you want
to ha a ah, those are the emotions you want
(44:48):
to do. And I say dark stuff on stage, but
my dark stuff comes about at my expense, my pain.
So I don't just sit there and punch down on
people about them. I talk about me. So I think blackness.
It's like Richard Pryor, he was a comedian and he
held down blackness. Dave Chappelle holds down blackness. And I
(45:13):
think for the most part, if you talk about the roast,
I feel like you shouldn't have did it live because
I'm sure in hindsight it's twenty twenty and he different
decisions would have been made. But in that point and
you're doing it live, it's too much pressure. You got
(45:34):
to stop the show, gotcha?
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Are you gonna spoof him? It's my last? Are you
gonna spoof him? And scary movie? Who Him?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
The movie Him? No? Forgot like who no, no, no no.
The movie didn't do good enough for me. But I
actually had a him joke in there. I wrote to
him scenes and then I was like, eh, I don't
want to do it, you know, say, let's just move
on Yeah, because it would have been like an inside Joe.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
It would have been funny.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
But maybe it just didn't fit in this movie either.
It didn't fit in the movie I took out. I
didn't want to be like, wait, that was weird. That
was I just wouldn't there's a rhythm, there's a house,
so I wanted to keep it into that and maybe
in a psychological horror thriller parody, I will do him.
Him's not off the table, but it just didn't fit
in this movie because this one is slasher. But uh,
(46:22):
Scary Movie seven, there will be a him.
