Episode Transcript

(00:06):
I'm thankful for my success. I'mthankful to be on these shows. Some
people come up here and just takeit for granted, not knowing these shows
change your life. These shows putmoney in your pocket and you can never
every opportunity helps to that's so nice, make it so. I think it's
vice versa too, by the way, you know what I mean. We

(00:27):
all need each other, but yoursituation, it's a thousand of us.
You see what I'm saying. Andwhen you're good to people, when you
do come around again, they say, oh yeah, let's make sure he
go on the show, because that'show I think. And vice versa two.
By the way, how we willdecide when people become next levels or
they come to us as babies andthen they blow up, y, how

(00:48):
you treat them makes them decide whenthey're popping right, where who they want
to go, and what they wantto say. So you're right the truth
at the end of the day,how you treat people and how you show
up if you want longevity, anyany game and first impressions almost everything.
Yeah, for sure do we evensay that. Yeah, Hey, we

(01:10):
just got right into it. It'ssomething to see you man, how many
years in the game. Are wenow what is this happening? Going on?
Forty forty? Yeah? So youhow old? Tell me I started
at twenty seven and that's not evena baby. No no, no,
I started for comedy life twenty nono, no, no no no.
Some people started at sixteen and seventeen. I was in college first, you

(01:30):
know. I went to Arizona State, went to cal State North three.
My son almost went to Arizona State. I feared that it was a party
school. It was a party school. But I think anything you do,
you got to have discipline. Rightnow, I don't care what it is.
You got to be laser focus andstill have a little luck on your
side. Did you know what youwanted to do with that? That's what
I'm trying to say. I havea little luck that I If someone would

(01:52):
have told me I was going tobe a comedian, I would wouldn't believe
them because when I started in nineteeneighty five and I started telling and my
family I was doing comedy, thatwas that was frowned upon because back then
they when you're trying to be EddieMurphy, trying to be Richard Pryor.
Now we got one point eight millioncomp would be a bad thing. But
I just thought because it wasn't thatmany successful black comedians at that time.

(02:15):
Yeah, you know now every corneryou turn as a comedian, Yeah for
sure. When when was the momentyou knew though? What was the moment
where You're like, oh, thisis what I'm gonna do? One thing
about my show. I've always beenconsistent. I've been blessed in doing this.
And I don't think of any momentbecause all my moments are great.
But when I do think about thesepressure moments, one had to be this

(02:38):
weekend because I opened up for cashmoney at the Space anniversary about ninety thousand
people, and when my Marquis cameup, they just lost their mind.
But the other one was either nineteenninety five, nineteen ninety six at Masis
Square Garden and this is when youused to do April Fools, remember that

(03:01):
back in the day course, AndI performed there and got that standing ovation
and I was just telling her oneof my friends, I'm WIGGI not too
long ago. I felt the energyon my back. I would say about
that first moment because there's so manypeople I know, lots of funny people.
We know lots of funny people,but there's a moment where you go
I'm funny to like, oh,I'm gonna be a comedian, and then
you decide to go out as thatlike what no, no, no,

(03:23):
that wasn't That wasn't my situation.My comedy happened back. I think slightly
accident. But I'm a businessman.See, most comedians I don't consider themself
a true comedian, and you knowwhat I mean. Most comedians want to
do TV and film. I wantto do businesses. See, I take
my platform and get into business.That's what I do. Because when you're

(03:45):
in TV, somebody got to likeyou. When you in film, your
movies have to be great in orderto get another movie because it's hard for
the black man and I'm Hollywood.You know they'll get if the other people
show after shot the show. Sohow you turn comedy into business? I
don't know how many you take comedy. You get your name out there and

(04:06):
next thing you know, you mightbe doing stuff for Nike. Next thing
you know, you might be doingstuff for insurance companies. But I moved
differently into everybody like I got thegift of the DNA. When it comes
to business. So I've done verywell. So you're hosting like events and
hosting events or you get into putinsurance things together for people or setting other

(04:28):
people up. No interest in TVand movies? Nah, not even that
is so strange. Yeah, that'swhy people have never really seen me anything.
I mean, I've got a coupleof parts that I was. People
wanted me at the New Jersey Drive. I just straysed with Vin Diesel when
he first started out, and nowyou never were out there on the I
had to have that money in myhand, A difference between audition and real

(04:51):
cash. I had to have thecash. So you about that bread?
About that bread? So how doesthat work with like being funny because you
clearly care about your craft this long. But I'm a reader. I stay,
I stay ahead of the game,and I go and just gifted.
I don't know what else how tosay. You know all around the world.

(05:13):
I mean I'm in Paris, downand got a damn and yeah,
so like you know, I didmy thing you in New York too.
About we have a show coming uphere this weekend this Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, three days. Yeah,Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It's Stress
Factory and I'm on lock my LiveNation tour. But this is not part
of a lot of nation tour.This is my thing case. I like

(05:35):
to come home because you know,from Jersey City, so I like to
come home once a year so myfriends and families and new fans can come
see me up in close and personal. What you talking about in this in
this show like one of the topicsof that's a good question. I think
this week is going to be aboutphase on love and stephen A. Smith.

(05:55):
You think so you're not like lockedin? No, no, no,
not sure. It's never locked in. All my stuff comes on my
guy, and it depends on howI feel like. I can have a
set thing in my head and asI'm driving to the event of walking,
it changes like that, isn't thatrisky because I'm good? Yeah, I
believe you, Yeah, I'm good? Is that risky? Also that you
can say something a little all?I mean, the times are so weird.

(06:17):
Here's the thing. Nobody knows.Only you know if it's all because
nobody's taping in there. Yeah.Well even if they're taping, no one
knows if you're off you only theyonly know if you tell them. That
you're off. What you do theythink could be what you really wanted to
do, So you lea just justjust keep going. So this is a
topic that people are going to seewhen they go see you. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, thisis gonna be one of them. One

(06:39):
of them, yeah, one ofthem is like a slew of any do
you freestyle? My show is likean hour for teen minutes? Oh wow,
Yeah, it's long, and youplay with the crowd. I'm sure
once in a while. I reallyhave where I'm at now in life.
I have so much to talk about, so I give knowledge in my shows.
I teach people about making sure youhave an LLC E I N I
talk about men making sure I havethey headed together. I teach men about

(07:02):
It's my favorite type of comedy,by the way. Yeah, and if
you actually walk away with something,yeah, my drops either intimidate you or
inspire you, which one you choose. I teach people instead of women wanting
a big ring, tell your ladythat instead of taking twelve thousand dollars to
get a ring, I'm gonna putyour your money with your name in an
annuity. And if you put yourmoney ten twelve thousand annuity and twenty years.

(07:27):
Yet ten thousands, two hundred andninety six thousand dollars. Is that
a real number. It's a realfact. Wow. Yeah. What people
don't understand is the informations round upfront of them because the government does it.
They got to think of gov ongovernment dot gov right, that they
had what I'm just telling you allthat information on the website. Wow,
So people don't know you're just upthere full of jewels. Yeah, I'll

(07:48):
be dropping the gyms. They calledme the what the game of God?
The god of game? Yeah?I love that. You should get merched,
right, merch with that? Howimportant? Because when I think of
people like comedians like you, wholike you want to teach. Also,
it's like, you know, thepunchline is not is not always the thing

(08:09):
that's so true? Right, youwant to teach, But it's funny and
yes, witty and all those thingslike Chappelle does that. Yes, yes,
yes, even even I just watchedan interview Gerard Carmichael. Yes,
yes, with this purpose behind histime. It doesn't seem so invested whether
it's funny or not. Yeah,I totally. I just I don't think

(08:30):
he's funny, but he has noother way to go. What do you
mean, because I don't think he'sgood at impressions, but he's not to
me, Now that's just me.He's not hating. Do you think that
he would be offended by that?Maybe people today get offended by everything.
Yeah, yeah, they get offendedby everything. And let me rephrase that
matter of fact. Instead of megiving opinion of him, I think is

(08:54):
that that I just wish he's notmy type of comic, yes, if
that makes any sense. And thereason why I say that, I was
on Blad not too long ago.Blad asked me about BG and BG had
just got out of prison, andI was so busy when he was a
kid, you know, to cashmoney. And I saw beg this weekend.
How did that go? And he'she loved me still this day.

(09:16):
But he said he was so disappointedthat I said that his album was not
going to make it, and Ifelt his energy because he looks up to
me, and I had to tellhim apologize. And I want to say
on your show, BG, ifyou hear this, I apologize. Should
have never took that lane to saythat, because as a friend and as

(09:41):
the power I have on a podcastand my reputation today, I can influence
people, so I want to sayI apologize for that and to anybody,
I'll never do that again. That'sw Yeah, that's why I switched it,
because I was wrong some people justeven you can have an opinion,

(10:05):
but that's so crazy. I've neverseen somebody say something and apologize about it
in the same interview. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, because you know,
as a man, you think aboutthe consequences of what comes out of
your mouth. And some people whoare young want to do it before they
want to click back. They wantthey stuff to go viral. I really
don't care about that. My goalwhen I walk out it anywhere is to

(10:26):
be respected as a man. That'simportant to me heard you, and so
that's soil That must be tricky though, as a comedian who has to kind
of be free with your thoughts andideas and yes, worrying about how it's
going to land and I pick onstage, I don't care, but in
an interview because it gets clipped upand on stage you get I think you

(10:48):
can get away with it, youknow, because people know you're entertaining and
people are laughing, But then yougo on to the next joke, all
right, So everybody gets to seeyou at this Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

I, R, K, L, A and D. Like the war
bad Costcos so people go to Costcos. But some people can't spell and just
look out for things in the future. I've learned in my journey in this
game is you keep things close toyour heart until it comes out. Yeah,
for sure. And then you wantpeople say, oh, you didn't
say nothing about it, and that'sthe best way to do business anything Before

(12:24):
then you can put yourself in abad situation. You invite energy. Yeah,

get that? By staying away fromyou? You know, you stay waiting
for people more. You be surprised. How you have a piece of minds

(13:07):
When you invite people in your world, that destruction comes would if you let
if you keep everybody out, thenthat could be lonely. No, you
got to learn how to live byyourself. Yeah, there's a gift living
by yourself, moving by yourself.Yeah, you got that, so you're
not married. No no, becauseyou can't have that attitude and be married.

(13:28):
No no, no, I totallyagree. I believe if you you
can have a woman you know andand she's very understanding and supportive and just
loves you, she'll allow you todo what you got to do. But
you have you have your own constitution. See the world. Some people in
the world live by the world's constitution. But my rule is I dictate to

(13:52):
the world. I don't let theworld dictate to me. So I create
my own lane in my own understanding. Yes, yeah, m hmm,
yeah, that's the way I moved. You used to be married, you
