all these characters like on the show called Anti trot
Back and Blackish are these kind of like left kind
of characters, you know. And so they came to me
and was like, man, we were looking for a new guy.
And I was like, I ain't got no muscles and ship.
Speaker 1 (01:39):

I went to. I was like, I think they want
me to ride a horse.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Uh have muscles And they was like no, no, we're
looking for a guy that's like, you know, just regular
next door guy that you can hang.

me on a flight to Portugal to go shoot some
commercial and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:00):

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Did it and had me doing like, you know, the
how they really get down, like throwing rocks in the
woods and swimming and shrinch streams, fish catching my mouth,
just all this weird stuff. When I got back to
the States, at least nine times I fish jumped my
(02:22):
mouth and I just stand there and do this and.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
But when we got back to the States, they was like, no,
we got another campaign. We wanted to do and everything
that I shot was like out the window and they
was like no, but what do you think about this?
And they came and I was like, oh no, this
would be great, like the whole thing about men have
Skin Too and the whole campaign. And I was like, yeah,
I think this might this might work. We shot it.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I just was saying like y'all got it, like y'all
got a lot of energy on the different page. And
you know, when you're older and you pay a lot
of taxes, you know you just you know you don't
really don't want all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You just want to chill, you know, just sit back
and cut and chill. You don't want to do all
that stuff. Go somewhere. You know. Then when you do
go somewhere, you're on your phone the whole damn time.
It's like, what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
You know, seventeen thousand photos from your door to the car.
It's like, Yo, it's just different, you know what I mean?
And so you know, I talk about it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, what's the worst experience you had dating the
younger woman? Man? I remember.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She had an old spirit. Let's just say that, right.
I went to the house one day, man, and she
had like a J. Cole poster on the wall, and
I left.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Why a post on the wall.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Like, it's not like a memorabilia moment, And it was.
It was like a high school girl post college.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Like yeah, yeah, not like memorabilia sign.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It was Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
If it was Michael Jackson, I would be like, oh,
that's cool. You know, depending on I guess the frame
will make a difference.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And there was no frame. It was tax like just
just taxing. I just showed up over there and was like, Hey,
are we gonna go out?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
We're gonna hang out? Was like she was tall as hell.
I thought she was older.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know where you.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Meet her at?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What did I meet her at? I met at a
comedy club. Comedy club, yeah, and I was like, yeah
we can, we can go hang out and she was
like yeah. Me stopped the house first and we went
to the house and I was like, yeah, I used
the bathroom and I went in there and I left them.
I said she got the Jay Cole post in the bathroom. No. No.
I was walking to the bathroom when I saw J
Cole poster and I was like, it was the reason
(08:17):
you told me you said you got this post. I
just was like, man, I ain't feeling well. I'm gonna
go ahead to the hotel. Man.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
She probably knew I was bullshit because soon as I
closed the door, I opened it up and left.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I was like, hey, I'm getting on that.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm hearing older guys complaining that young girls don't don't understand.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Their references, the reference references, so you might reference.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Like somebody smart, don't see that happened before.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I seen before.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I see the older dude reference to a young girl, like, oh,
you're a regular dude.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The housing.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Your references will make you old, Like surreal stuff. I
remember this one girl I told I was like, uh,
can you keep playing? I'm gonna make you wetter than
Lake Mantanka And she's like, what's up?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I gotta gontka. You know, you know who's that associated with?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Don't even google, I.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Don't know, but it's Purple Rain Rain, Prince.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
I know Princess though, I just didn't know the laate.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You listen to Prince.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
No, Jesus, I don't listen to Prince. But it's not this.
I have nothing against Prince.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I will walk out of here.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Honestly, I've never even thought to put prints on my
PA playlist.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Think the music is bad.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I like, I'm not feeling well, so in your house
you just.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Be chilling and like Purple Rain is just playing.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No, I'm just saying it's just.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
It's just saying that it's not He's just not on
my play.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm not about to have no conversation with anybody about
Prince being fired.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
That's not the conversation. He's just not on my playlist.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
So let me let me let me explain something real quick.
And this is I do have an issue with this.
A lot of our young generation letting icons just fall
about the wayside because you won't even pay attention to
where the music that you listen to is samples from.
Like all, these people are great artists, and we got
to like at least give them some love and pay
(10:28):
attention to who they are white folks. They still be
going to see the rolling stars, They be going to
hang out with them like they alive. I would, motherfuckers.
It's not fucking with Diana Ross. A lot of people now,
y'all not going to go see the Riches, Stevie Wonder, Yeah,
stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
But even then, it's still those people are not on
my everyday playlist.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I see them, I get it, But look y'all not
playing them, y'all not keeping them.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
In your in your music listen, none of that. And
so what happens I'm gonna tell you this is what is.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
This the conversation you have at dinner with the younger guy?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, No, I don't do no, make it. I like
to stay, give me your phone. No, I'm just playing. No,
but I went I went to the spear right in Vegas,
and I saw YouTube. Did you go see that? I
hear you been to crazy, crazy concert I've ever been to.
And while I was there, I'm looking at YouTube and
(11:22):
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
They showed out four shows, four shows a week, seventeen thousand.
Let's rounded off twenty twenty thousand people a week for
five months. So out my question is, besides like Beyonce,
what who do we have in the black community that
(11:46):
can do that?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I feel like I should do that. I mean, I
don't know how big the spear is, but she was
doing that whole seventeen thousand new addition maybe straight. Look,
four shows a week for five months straight? Who can
do that? Who she was doing that?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He didn't five thousand, five thousands?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Who can do twenty thousand that we got?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's my mossized Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Mary twenty thousand, four times. That's eighty thousand a week.
That's eighty thousand a week for five months. Who do
we have that can do that?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Because Diana rossid Chris Brown, I don't think no.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Diana Ross, I could say, Diana, don't I think she
can have a residence.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Twenty thousand a show. That's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Seven let's say, let me just give the seventeen thousand,
that's the spear Hole seventeen thousand, right, seventeen thousand people
four times a week?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I think five months straight. Stevie one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I think Stevie could only because he's such a thousand.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
I think Stevie because stevee got you got every he.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Got nights a week, YouTube, you got, you got YouTube,
you got the Stones? Who can do it? Right? You got? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Uh, Metallica can probably do that.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Who do we have?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
It's like it's been blowing my mind trying to figure
this out. Seventeen thousand, four nights a week is crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Beyonce could do it. But besides, Beyonce can do it.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
But and so, what I'm saying is, I think it
has a lot to do with our younger generation not
upholding our artists that we haven't and really keeping them,
keeping them alive or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
When the Stones go out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Man, it's a whole picnics is but as young as
different generations.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Generations, I don't come outside no more.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
He don't go nowhere, no stuff like that. I think
I think there's comics that could do it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Who. I think there's some comics that could.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Probably Dave yeah, yeah, yeah, Rock probably could do it.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Twenty thousand listen.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I even go three times a week, three times a week,
twenty thousand people for five months straight. Let's even go
four months, four months straight.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Who it's so it's so sad to me that that's true.
It is. That's the point.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, I can't other than be honest, I can't think
of nobod it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You can't think. And that's so sad.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
But they have Billy Joe can go in that mouth
if I and do that ship, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like they have so many I think jay Z could
do it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Jasus going out four nights a row. Jay, But I
was New York though, but that's fifty thousand New York.
I think I think Jay could do it.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I do I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I really don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I'm sitting there thinking, like four ninths week, seventeen thousand people.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Listen, listen, let's even break it down three three, three
times a week for four months straight.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
I think j might be that kind of Jaken.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think Drean Snoop.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I think drean Snoop together, No, now, I think Dre
and Snoop together.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Can do it.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yes, I think Dre and Snoop together can do snoop
and in the West Coast, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The big homie Snoop snoop. That's when I got Drake.
My got to But I'm just saying, like together and
because dre ain't been around, do you think our cast
can do it?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yes, it's because they don't eighty thousand a week.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'm speaking for personally, been around around eighty.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Thousand a week. You two can do it. I think
I can do it.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
You two snuck their music on people's cheat it no YouTube,
been rocking fall looking for a decade.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You know, I think could do it right now. Drake
because he's such a he got that type of music.
He could do those.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I think Drake. I think Drake and Drake. I think
dra drink Drake.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I think Drake is Drake And that's so sad. That's
the only person that probably can do that.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Out of all our artists. Drake can do it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
He's so he's so cross over, so so many different
I think dra can do it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Drake can do that himself too.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
On us let's talk about the vintage ladies.
Speaker 1 (16:20):

Speaker 7 (16:25):
So that's that's what you lean more towards the vintage ladies.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Do I lean towards them more?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, because we got we got stuff on common that
we could talk about. You know, I can't really talk

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Oh that you ain't gonna be able to make a
man feel like that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You ain't able to make a man feel like that.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
You got red lips spirit, Yes, red, You ain't.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Gonna be able to make a man feel like that.
For twenty years, lad, she made me high. Okay, you
didn't even know who that was was. She walked in
the room. She didn't know who that was.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Did you interview and when I was at TMZ, so
playing with me, okay, really acting like just because we're younger,
we might not like consume everything all the time that
y'all do that we're like idiots say something.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
No, we're not saying that that all idiots just dumb.
Like that's harsh, harsh. It's just a difference.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Okay, you are able to finish?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, no, no, that blew my mind?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Right?
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Just did you see he's not I'm coming back, I'm coming,
I'm coming right out, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Later, I'm coming tomorrow, coming right down and come that
you did? You you see that? You see that? Can
you have? And I'm just asking have you ever walked
in the room and just made a man? You have?
Not I have? That's why.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Get over there.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Ain't not be nowhere so he don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I would have heard about it. I want to ask
you what makes a special special nowadays? Man? Just uh man,
just getting back to funny man, Like it seemed like
everybody got.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Like a message now and it's like everybody stand for
something and you know, we got to get the word
out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And it's like we we we were missing the funny.
You know what I mean, and so.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
That's the focus. You can still do your thing. It's
not what you do, it's how you do it. And
so I just think specials are missing that. And uh,
when I guess, I guess the what people are talking
about right now? You know, the game is shifting a
little bit, you know, and it's like it's changing the
(24:05):
way that people put out things, you know, And so
I'm not knocking nobody, but you know.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's just it's just changing.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
You know, Specials used to be really be special, you
know what I mean, like special, And there are a
few that still are special, you.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Know, but the more you have, you know, it's going
to dilute what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Do you touch everything on your special Is there something
like do you do politics? Do you touch Diddy?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Like? Do you do all that in your specials?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
If you notice on all my specials or if you
don't notice, all my stuff is really ever green, because
I feel like you can do those specials where you
could talk about pop culture and what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But to me, it's great for the moment, but it
like it'll date to date you a little bit.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
And don't get me wrong, I talk about pop cultures
a lot but when I do a special, I try
not to unless it's something that unless I'm making a
point on something that's longevity, you get what I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Yeah, So it's not because because when you started the
gay joke in the special, you was like, I don't
want to mess up my old spice money. So it's
not really because you're like scared of anything, no, what
you mean, like, so you don't touch certain like do
you not touch certain stuff because you're actually scared of
losing those like sponsorships and endorsement deals.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Or you definitely got to watch yourself, like you got people.
That's why Dave Chappelle and like Cat and these guys
are so important to this game. They to my knowledge,
they don't have endorsements and stuff like that or whatever,
and so therefore they can say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Whatever they want. Corey holkm Corey Holk them, they can
say whatever show they.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Can say whatever they want, which is which keeps which
keeps that that that amendment alive, you know. But then
you got certain people that really can't say whatever they want,
you know what I mean. And so it's very important
that them guys go out there and keep knocking them
doors down in order for us to be able to
say as much as we can, you know what I mean.
But uh, the endorsement game is changing now, you know,
(26:04):
like they not really like on you like that, especially
with Snoop out there doing Snoop Olympics. Everything's still smoking
crazy herbs and making music.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And he's still be in him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I don't even like having that conversation because I don't
want nobody to go look at look at old Snoop.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
We to talk. Can you believe they don't need to know? Yo?
But but that's how the game is changing now.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So you know, people are really just looking at you
as a something that can you know, market their brand
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
But the gay joke that you did, that was the
joke that you didn't really have a gay joke. No,
So I had.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I had a bit that I was gonna do, but
I was just like yeah, and I said to myself,
I was like, I'm in this. Probably I probably won't
do it, but depending on how I feel, I'm like
run through the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And so I was like, nah, I was like that,
but I knew in my mind I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Gonna do it because I felt the audience, and the
audience didn't feel like it was shot in l A.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And you could see the gay in the audience.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
What was the joke.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One day when let me go out tell you it
was Blackish for your career, man, Blackish was everything. It
was every that show.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Ship has still been on, man. And I shout out
to my boy Anthony Anderson.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I was just at his house.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
We was over there eating and caking it or whatever,
and Tracy and everybody. But I hate that show ended.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Man. We supposed to have kept going, you know what
I mean? And you know, I really don't even know.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I think it was a money situation, but I just
wish we would have just stuck together, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What I mean with the money thing, and that show
would have been on. We mean, like the people in
the cash wanted more money or yeah, the money situation.
And this is just from what I was told or whatever.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Everybody was doing their own deals when we all should
have just went in together and just and came together.
I think uh alec Abbot Elementary just did that. Everybody
bumped up like bang Modern Family did that. Everybody was like,
you know, and I just always had this issue with
while we didn't do that or whatever. Everybody went there
(28:43):
on their own deals. I remember I told them, I said, y'all,
if the guys in the office, me and Jeff and Peter,
the two white guys, I was like, I told them.
I was like, man, they need us, man, So look,
we're gonna go in there and make our deeals. We're
gonna do our deal. You know what I mean, Yo,
we we We're not gonna sign like fuck that, you
(29:04):
know what I mean. And so I remember my people
went to talk to them and they was like this, yeah,
they already signed.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Wow. And I was like this what and they was
like yeah. And I was like and I called one
of the guys, I'm like, dude, what's He was like, yeah,
my daughters gotta go to college.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And so I had to you know, So did y'all
even attempt to have the conversation as a cast to
say let's go in there together.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
No nobody even did that, but I but I was.
I was wondering. I remember one time I was. I
was even talking to Aunt and I was like, everybody negotiate.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The ant was like.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Everybody going in on their own everybody doing their own
and I was like, I was like, all right, and
I was like, man, we shouldn't just go together.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
They would have told y'all know you Anthony Ns and
Tracey Eilis Ross Jennifer Lawrence like we.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Had we had the week. I think we could have
really did. And I don't know what happened, man, I
just hated that that that dropped. That dropped the ball,
because that show could have still been on. We still
had some firepower and us and we all could have
really like made some money money, you know, because I
think they was really making money.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I really wasn't like making like crazy money. You probably
had to spend off buty been some type of issue.
Oh we know. I was straight shout out to Kenya
Bears too. That's my brother.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Love to love him the pieces, man, that's my boy
right there. We we talked about doing something or whatever.
It just didn't materialized or whatever because I had went
over the Grownish with that character and kicked off Grownish
over there, and then I don't know if they really
was like, yo, we kick off another show with you
or whatever, because it really didn't make no sense for
(30:42):
me to be on Grownish.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Kenya was like, Yo, We're gonna make you a professor,
and I was like.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
All right, bet cool. We went over there just to
make sure the show took off, you know what I mean.
And so I went over there rocked with them for
about three years, and then the show took off and
then I was able to, you know, leave or whatever.
But uh, as far as doing that character again on
this on spin off, I think we should have did
it before I went over the groundish, you know what
(31:09):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So we missed that window or whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
It feels like average Joe got a whole new life too.
Once it hit Netflix, it was it was I thought
people were talking about a new.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
D Let me tell you something, man. You gotta believe.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
You gotta believe in you man, Like I know it
sounded cliche, but it's really real, like you really gotta
believe in what you feel. We shot that show a
year and a half ago, almost two years ago, and
it was on BT and nobody seen it. But I
just knew that the script was nobody did nobody seen it,
(31:43):
Like it was like just over there and nobody was
just like really checking for it like that. But I
used to I would tell BT I'll be like, man,
we need to market this to like, you know, a
murder audience, because it's about murder goal or money.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Marketing this to you know, Tyler Perry's audience and the
people that's on BT the Sunday Gospel like, they're not
gonna really make So I was like, man, we need
to go to like the ID channel and you know,
and so it just never worked out. Then when I
heard that they were talking to Netflix, I was like, man,
(32:22):
this is what's gonna Netflix is gone. This is gonna
do what it's supposed to do because they had them
kind of shows and they're gonna partner them with this,
and I think that's that's what's gonna make the difference.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
And sure enough, man, they partnered with Netflix and they
put that thing out. That thing went like crazy. Man.
I was like, man, the shout out to everybody to
watch average jokes. Man. I really appreciate it. There. Yeah, yeah,
still going correct.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
We getting see them two yeah, go I leave January,

was like, yeah, we made a few songs.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And I was like monster. He was like yeah, you know,
a few songs. And then I was like yeah, I said,
but get to the real shit, like what happened. He
was like, there was at a party one day and
he was in the courtyard and they were talking and
he told him. He was like, hey, Mike Man, you
need to jump on your business. You know, that's the
only thing you're missing. You got everything else with your
business affairs. You need to on your own publishing. That's
(35:36):
what the money is, man, or own someone else's publishing.
And he said, Michael's like oh yeah, Like like who
and he was like I don't know, like whoever's the
biggest in the game. And Mike's like this, well, I'm
going I'm going to own your publishing. And he said
he was like yeah, not me, Mike, but anybody else.
And he said they laughed and he said, next day,
(35:57):
Mike Ball, the fucking publishing man, bought the ship.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And so he told me this too. He said that
him and he said him and John signed a really
kind of like fucked up deal, you know, so the
money that they were making.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
It wasn't like tons. They wish they made more, especially
on the publishing. So since Mike owned the publishing, they
thought Mike is our friend, he'd give us. He'll give
us a give us a bump, at least a bump.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Said.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
He went to Mike and hey, man, you think you
can give us a bumping up on a publishing And
Mike told him no, He.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Said his business. Wow.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
He said he wouldn'tive it to me, he said, and
that's when they kind of just stopped talking.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Wow, And I was like wow. He was like this
break a leg and then he went down. I'm letting
that high ship stage hold. Then he goes on stage
and I bombed the one of the worst shows I
ever had. And what he is? But then heed you hurt?
What was he saying? He really wanted hacking just what
(36:58):
he's doing every time a joke done work. I could
just hear far in the back and I was like this, God,
damn Paul.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Yeah, because I told people, I said, man, this show
ain't going well because I'm a little high.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But I'm gonna tell y'all why.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Later, I was like, I don't want to use it
as an excuse so I'm gonna tell you why later.
So I bombed that entire night. There's nothing worse than bombing.
And you hear like comics in the back, like.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Dying, like running around when some shit don't work or whatever.
I'm in that my favorite. I can hear him in
the back, like ship movement, like everybody. Anytime I did
the punch line and I hear Paul and they running around,
and I'm like for an hour, the whole hour. At
the end of that, I was like this, I'm glad
to show you why I'm high. Everybody. I said, I
(37:50):
got a friend named Paul here. I said, Paul, bring
your ass up here. And he came up. When he
came on stage, a whole audience gas.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
And I only work out in front of like forty
people when I'm working on new material. I'll do it
like like real small crowds. And everybody was like they
could not believe.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
He said, what are you doing that material that didn't work?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
You all the stuff that was working it didn't work
that night. No, it just it was both.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
It was stuff that had worked before that didn't work
that night because I wasn't delivering it correctly and it
was new stuff I was doing that I never done
before that I didn't believe in You gotta believe.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
In this shit when you say it.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
If you're trying to sell something, you gotta believe it,
you know what I mean. So I just didn't wasn't
believing in it, and therefore it wasn't working. But when
he came up there and he even said it, he
was like, yeah, yeah, you was bomb man, like you know,
and I was like, I know, but here's.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
The ill shit. He appreciated that night.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
So because I was talking to him like a regular motherfucker,
I wasn't bowing to him. I'm like, even we was
upstairs in the green mom' like Paul, motherfucker, come get yo, yoyo.
I'm just just just talking to him regularly and then having.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Them on stage like Yo, this is my guy. He
appreciated that real moment so much. He appreciated me bombing
because it wasn't staged. It wasn't I got to do
my best shit because Paul's here. There was a real
moment that people like him don't probably get, you know
what I mean. So he loved every moment of it,
(39:16):
and I did too, in a sense because I felt
like he would remember this, you know. I remember one
time Prince Prince. A friend of mine saw Prince on
the plane and Prince was like this.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
He was like this, yo, they go Prince and he
was like hey, Prince, and Prince said, let me show
you something, and he pulled his phone out and he
showed my guy. He was like this, this woman taking
the picture of me, and I took a picture of
her back, and my boy was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The Prince was like, man, give me a warning.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Like that little moment meant everything to him, you know
what I mean. It's like it's these little moments that
means so much to.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
These feel like regular people.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I don't feel like regular people, so these real moments
that they have with regular people are everything to them.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
You know, when people like out of them and oh
my god, that that comes every day. But if you
just treat him regularly, they you.
Speaker 7 (40:18):
Know, y'all Like, so y'all be talking now, like what's.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
The We kicked it the whole night, like like even

the old Spice commercial, right, I know you talked about
it a million How did that come about?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And did you ever expect it to be as big
as it as it is?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I mean the old man, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I mean football games, Let's talk.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How did that happen? So?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
I have been doing Blackish and uh, I was doing
all these characters like on the show called Anti trot
Back and Blackish are these kind of like left kind
of characters, you know. And so they came to me
and was like, man, we were looking for a new guy.
And I was like, I ain't got no muscles and ship.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It was like, I guess that was the first thing
I went to. I was like, I think they want
me to ride a horse.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Uh have muscles And they was like no, no, we're
looking for a guy that's like, you know, just regular
next door guy that you can hang.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Out with or whatever. And I was like okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
So we talked and next thing I know, they have
me on a flight to Portugal to go shoot some
commercial and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And I went out there and.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Did it and had me doing like, you know, the
how they really get down, like throwing rocks in the
woods and swimming and shrinch streams, fish catching my mouth,
just all this weird stuff. When I got back to
the States, at least nine times I fish jumped my
(02:22):
mouth and I just stand there and do this and.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Do it right, i'na do it.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
But when we got back to the States, they was like, no,
we got another campaign. We wanted to do and everything
that I shot was like out the window and they
was like no, but what do you think about this?
And they came and I was like, oh no, this
would be great, like the whole thing about men have
Skin Too and the whole campaign. And I was like, yeah,
I think this might this might work. We shot it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
And boom, well it works because that's all I use
the old spikes body washing.
Speaker 1 (02:56):

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Not to get into into the to the finances. But
you get paid every time the commercial place.

Nah, so they give me. They pay me once a
year like flat like boom, like.
Speaker 1 (03:17):

Speaker 1 (06:09):
I did not traumatize. I gave y'all love.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I just was saying like y'all got it, like y'all
got a lot of energy on the different page. And
you know, when you're older and you pay a lot
of taxes, you know you just you know you don't
really don't want all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You just want to chill, you know, just sit back
and cut and chill. You don't want to do all
that stuff. Go somewhere. You know. Then when you do
go somewhere, you're on your phone the whole damn time.
It's like, what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
You know, seventeen thousand photos from your door to the car.
It's like, Yo, it's just different, you know what I mean?
And so you know, I talk about it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, what's the worst experience you had dating the
younger woman? Man? I remember.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She had an old spirit. Let's just say that, right.
I went to the house one day, man, and she
had like a J. Cole poster on the wall, and
I left.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Why a post on the wall.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Like, it's not like a memorabilia moment, And it was.
It was like a high school girl post college.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Like yeah, yeah, not like memorabilia sign.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It was Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
If it was Michael Jackson, I would be like, oh,
that's cool. You know, depending on I guess the frame
will make a difference.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And there was no frame. It was tax like just
just taxing. I just showed up over there and was like, Hey,
are we gonna go out?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
We're gonna hang out? Was like she was tall as hell.
I thought she was older.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know where you.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Meet her at?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What did I meet her at? I met at a
comedy club. Comedy club, yeah, and I was like, yeah
we can, we can go hang out and she was
like yeah. Me stopped the house first and we went
to the house and I was like, yeah, I used
the bathroom and I went in there and I left them.
I said she got the Jay Cole post in the bathroom. No. No.
I was walking to the bathroom when I saw J
Cole poster and I was like, it was the reason
(08:17):
you told me you said you got this post. I
just was like, man, I ain't feeling well. I'm gonna
go ahead to the hotel. Man.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
She probably knew I was bullshit because soon as I
closed the door, I opened it up and left.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I was like, hey, I'm getting on that.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm hearing older guys complaining that young girls don't don't understand.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Their references, the reference references, so you might reference.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Like somebody smart, don't see that happened before.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I seen before.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I see the older dude reference to a young girl, like, oh,
you're a regular dude.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The housing.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Your references will make you old, Like surreal stuff. I
remember this one girl I told I was like, uh,
can you keep playing? I'm gonna make you wetter than
Lake Mantanka And she's like, what's up?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I gotta gontka. You know, you know who's that associated with?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Don't even google, I.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Don't know, but it's Purple Rain Rain, Prince.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
I know Princess though, I just didn't know the laate.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You listen to Prince.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
No, Jesus, I don't listen to Prince. But it's not this.
I have nothing against Prince.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I will walk out of here.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Honestly, I've never even thought to put prints on my
PA playlist.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Think the music is bad.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I like, I'm not feeling well, so in your house
you just.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Be chilling and like Purple Rain is just playing.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No, I'm just saying it's just.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
It's just saying that it's not He's just not on
my play.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm not about to have no conversation with anybody about
Prince being fired.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
That's not the conversation. He's just not on my playlist.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
So let me let me let me explain something real quick.
And this is I do have an issue with this.
A lot of our young generation letting icons just fall
about the wayside because you won't even pay attention to
where the music that you listen to is samples from.
Like all, these people are great artists, and we got
to like at least give them some love and pay
(10:28):
attention to who they are white folks. They still be
going to see the rolling stars, They be going to
hang out with them like they alive. I would, motherfuckers.
It's not fucking with Diana Ross. A lot of people now,
y'all not going to go see the Riches, Stevie Wonder, Yeah,
stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
But even then, it's still those people are not on
my everyday playlist.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I see them, I get it, But look y'all not
playing them, y'all not keeping them.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
In your in your music listen, none of that. And
so what happens I'm gonna tell you this is what is.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
This the conversation you have at dinner with the younger guy?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, No, I don't do no, make it. I like
to stay, give me your phone. No, I'm just playing. No,
but I went I went to the spear right in Vegas,
and I saw YouTube. Did you go see that? I
hear you been to crazy, crazy concert I've ever been to.
And while I was there, I'm looking at YouTube and
(11:22):
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
They showed out four shows, four shows a week, seventeen thousand.
Let's rounded off twenty twenty thousand people a week for
five months. So out my question is, besides like Beyonce,
what who do we have in the black community that
(11:46):
can do that?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I feel like I should do that. I mean, I
don't know how big the spear is, but she was
doing that whole seventeen thousand new addition maybe straight. Look,
four shows a week for five months straight? Who can
do that? Who she was doing that?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He didn't five thousand, five thousands?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Who can do twenty thousand that we got?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's my mossized Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Mary twenty thousand, four times. That's eighty thousand a week.
That's eighty thousand a week for five months. Who do
we have that can do that?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Because Diana rossid Chris Brown, I don't think no.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Diana Ross, I could say, Diana, don't I think she
can have a residence.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Twenty thousand a show. That's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Seven let's say, let me just give the seventeen thousand,
that's the spear Hole seventeen thousand, right, seventeen thousand people
four times a week?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I think five months straight. Stevie one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I think Stevie could only because he's such a thousand.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
I think Stevie because stevee got you got every he.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Got nights a week, YouTube, you got, you got YouTube,
you got the Stones? Who can do it? Right? You got? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Uh, Metallica can probably do that.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Who do we have?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
It's like it's been blowing my mind trying to figure
this out. Seventeen thousand, four nights a week is crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Beyonce could do it. But besides, Beyonce can do it.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
But and so, what I'm saying is, I think it
has a lot to do with our younger generation not
upholding our artists that we haven't and really keeping them,
keeping them alive or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
When the Stones go out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Man, it's a whole picnics is but as young as
different generations.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Generations, I don't come outside no more.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
He don't go nowhere, no stuff like that. I think
I think there's comics that could do it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Who. I think there's some comics that could.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Probably Dave yeah, yeah, yeah, Rock probably could do it.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Twenty thousand listen.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I even go three times a week, three times a week,
twenty thousand people for five months straight. Let's even go
four months, four months straight.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Who it's so it's so sad to me that that's true.
It is. That's the point.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, I can't other than be honest, I can't think
of nobod it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You can't think. And that's so sad.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
But they have Billy Joe can go in that mouth
if I and do that ship, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like they have so many I think jay Z could
do it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Jasus going out four nights a row. Jay, But I
was New York though, but that's fifty thousand New York.
I think I think Jay could do it.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I do I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I really don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I'm sitting there thinking, like four ninths week, seventeen thousand people.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Listen, listen, let's even break it down three three, three
times a week for four months straight.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
I think j might be that kind of Jaken.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think Drean Snoop.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I think drean Snoop together, No, now, I think Dre
and Snoop together.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Can do it.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yes, I think Dre and Snoop together can do snoop
and in the West Coast, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The big homie Snoop snoop. That's when I got Drake.
My got to But I'm just saying, like together and
because dre ain't been around, do you think our cast
can do it?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yes, it's because they don't eighty thousand a week.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'm speaking for personally, been around around eighty.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Thousand a week. You two can do it. I think
I can do it.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
You two snuck their music on people's cheat it no YouTube,
been rocking fall looking for a decade.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You know, I think could do it right now. Drake
because he's such a he got that type of music.
He could do those.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I think Drake. I think Drake and Drake. I think
dra drink Drake.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I think Drake is Drake And that's so sad. That's
the only person that probably can do that.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Out of all our artists. Drake can do it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
He's so he's so cross over, so so many different
I think dra can do it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Drake can do that himself too.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
On us let's talk about the vintage ladies.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, what what about him? Not? What about him?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
So that's that's what you lean more towards the vintage ladies.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Do I lean towards them more?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, because we got we got stuff on common that
we could talk about. You know, I can't really talk
I mean unless they teaching me something that I don't know.
A younger woman, they could teach me something, but you know,
I gotta make sure that it's in line with what
I'm trying to do with my life.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Gonna be able to make a man feel like that.
For twenty years, lad, she made me high. Okay, you
didn't even know who that was was. She walked in
the room. She didn't know who that was.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Did you interview and when I was at TMZ, so
playing with me, okay, really acting like just because we're younger,
we might not like consume everything all the time that
y'all do that we're like idiots say something.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
No, we're not saying that that all idiots just dumb.
Like that's harsh, harsh. It's just a difference.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Okay, you are able to finish?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, no, no, that blew my mind?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Right?
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Just did you see he's not I'm coming back, I'm coming,
I'm coming right out, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Later, I'm coming tomorrow, coming right down and come that
you did? You you see that? You see that? Can
you have? And I'm just asking have you ever walked
in the room and just made a man? You have?
Not I have? That's why.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Get over there.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Ain't not be nowhere so he don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I would have heard about it. I want to ask
you what makes a special special nowadays? Man? Just uh man,
just getting back to funny man, Like it seemed like
everybody got.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Like a message now and it's like everybody stand for
something and you know, we got to get the word
out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And it's like we we we were missing the funny.
You know what I mean, and so.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
That's the focus. You can still do your thing. It's
not what you do, it's how you do it. And
so I just think specials are missing that. And uh,
when I guess, I guess the what people are talking
about right now? You know, the game is shifting a
little bit, you know, and it's like it's changing the
(24:05):
way that people put out things, you know, And so
I'm not knocking nobody, but you know.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's just it's just changing.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
You know, Specials used to be really be special, you
know what I mean, like special, And there are a
few that still are special, you.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Know, but the more you have, you know, it's going
to dilute what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Do you touch everything on your special Is there something
like do you do politics? Do you touch Diddy?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Like? Do you do all that in your specials?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
If you notice on all my specials or if you
don't notice, all my stuff is really ever green, because
I feel like you can do those specials where you
could talk about pop culture and what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But to me, it's great for the moment, but it
like it'll date to date you a little bit.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
And don't get me wrong, I talk about pop cultures
a lot but when I do a special, I try
not to unless it's something that unless I'm making a
point on something that's longevity, you get what I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Yeah, So it's not because because when you started the
gay joke in the special, you was like, I don't
want to mess up my old spice money. So it's
not really because you're like scared of anything, no, what
you mean, like, so you don't touch certain like do
you not touch certain stuff because you're actually scared of
losing those like sponsorships and endorsement deals.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Or you definitely got to watch yourself, like you got people.
That's why Dave Chappelle and like Cat and these guys
are so important to this game. They to my knowledge,
they don't have endorsements and stuff like that or whatever,
and so therefore they can say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Whatever they want. Corey holkm Corey Holk them, they can
say whatever show they.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Can say whatever they want, which is which keeps which
keeps that that that amendment alive, you know. But then
you got certain people that really can't say whatever they want,
you know what I mean. And so it's very important
that them guys go out there and keep knocking them
doors down in order for us to be able to
say as much as we can, you know what I mean.
But uh, the endorsement game is changing now, you know,
(26:04):
like they not really like on you like that, especially
with Snoop out there doing Snoop Olympics. Everything's still smoking
crazy herbs and making music.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And he's still be in him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I don't even like having that conversation because I don't
want nobody to go look at look at old Snoop.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
We to talk. Can you believe they don't need to know? Yo?
But but that's how the game is changing now.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So you know, people are really just looking at you
as a something that can you know, market their brand
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
But the gay joke that you did, that was the
joke that you didn't really have a gay joke. No,
So I had.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I had a bit that I was gonna do, but
I was just like yeah, and I said to myself,
I was like, I'm in this. Probably I probably won't
do it, but depending on how I feel, I'm like
run through the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And so I was like, nah, I was like that,
but I knew in my mind I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Gonna do it because I felt the audience, and the
audience didn't feel like it was shot in l A.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And you could see the gay in the audience.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
What was the joke.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One day when let me go out tell you it
was Blackish for your career, man, Blackish was everything. It
was every that show.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Ship has still been on, man. And I shout out
to my boy Anthony Anderson.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I was just at his house.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
We was over there eating and caking it or whatever,
and Tracy and everybody. But I hate that show ended.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Man. We supposed to have kept going, you know what
I mean? And you know, I really don't even know.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I think it was a money situation, but I just
wish we would have just stuck together, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What I mean with the money thing, and that show
would have been on. We mean, like the people in
the cash wanted more money or yeah, the money situation.
And this is just from what I was told or whatever.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Everybody was doing their own deals when we all should
have just went in together and just and came together.
I think uh alec Abbot Elementary just did that. Everybody
bumped up like bang Modern Family did that. Everybody was like,
you know, and I just always had this issue with
while we didn't do that or whatever. Everybody went there
(28:43):
on their own deals. I remember I told them, I said, y'all,
if the guys in the office, me and Jeff and Peter,
the two white guys, I was like, I told them.
I was like, man, they need us, man, So look,
we're gonna go in there and make our deeals. We're
gonna do our deal. You know what I mean, Yo,
we we We're not gonna sign like fuck that, you
(29:04):
know what I mean. And so I remember my people
went to talk to them and they was like this, yeah,
they already signed.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Wow. And I was like this what and they was
like yeah. And I was like and I called one
of the guys, I'm like, dude, what's He was like, yeah,
my daughters gotta go to college.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And so I had to you know, So did y'all
even attempt to have the conversation as a cast to
say let's go in there together.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
No nobody even did that, but I but I was.
I was wondering. I remember one time I was. I
was even talking to Aunt and I was like, everybody negotiate.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The ant was like.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Everybody going in on their own everybody doing their own
and I was like, I was like, all right, and
I was like, man, we shouldn't just go together.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
They would have told y'all know you Anthony Ns and
Tracey Eilis Ross Jennifer Lawrence like we.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Had we had the week. I think we could have
really did. And I don't know what happened, man, I
just hated that that that dropped. That dropped the ball,
because that show could have still been on. We still
had some firepower and us and we all could have
really like made some money money, you know, because I
think they was really making money.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I really wasn't like making like crazy money. You probably
had to spend off buty been some type of issue.
Oh we know. I was straight shout out to Kenya
Bears too. That's my brother.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Love to love him the pieces, man, that's my boy
right there. We we talked about doing something or whatever.
It just didn't materialized or whatever because I had went
over the Grownish with that character and kicked off Grownish
over there, and then I don't know if they really
was like, yo, we kick off another show with you
or whatever, because it really didn't make no sense for
(30:42):
me to be on Grownish.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Kenya was like, Yo, We're gonna make you a professor,
and I was like.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
All right, bet cool. We went over there just to
make sure the show took off, you know what I mean.
And so I went over there rocked with them for
about three years, and then the show took off and
then I was able to, you know, leave or whatever.
But uh, as far as doing that character again on
this on spin off, I think we should have did
it before I went over the groundish, you know what
(31:09):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So we missed that window or whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
It feels like average Joe got a whole new life too.
Once it hit Netflix, it was it was I thought
people were talking about a new.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
D Let me tell you something, man. You gotta believe.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
You gotta believe in you man, Like I know it
sounded cliche, but it's really real, like you really gotta
believe in what you feel. We shot that show a
year and a half ago, almost two years ago, and
it was on BT and nobody seen it. But I
just knew that the script was nobody did nobody seen it,
(31:43):
Like it was like just over there and nobody was
just like really checking for it like that. But I
used to I would tell BT I'll be like, man,
we need to market this to like, you know, a
murder audience, because it's about murder goal or money.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Marketing this to you know, Tyler Perry's audience and the
people that's on BT the Sunday Gospel like, they're not
gonna really make So I was like, man, we need
to go to like the ID channel and you know,
and so it just never worked out. Then when I
heard that they were talking to Netflix, I was like, man,
(32:22):
this is what's gonna Netflix is gone. This is gonna
do what it's supposed to do because they had them
kind of shows and they're gonna partner them with this,
and I think that's that's what's gonna make the difference.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
And sure enough, man, they partnered with Netflix and they
put that thing out. That thing went like crazy. Man.
I was like, man, the shout out to everybody to
watch average jokes. Man. I really appreciate it. There. Yeah, yeah,
still going correct.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
We getting see them two yeah, go I leave January,

should do some songs together. And we did and he
was like, yeah, we made a few songs.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And I was like monster. He was like yeah, you know,
a few songs. And then I was like yeah, I said,
but get to the real shit, like what happened. He
was like, there was at a party one day and
he was in the courtyard and they were talking and
he told him. He was like, hey, Mike Man, you
need to jump on your business. You know, that's the
only thing you're missing. You got everything else with your
business affairs. You need to on your own publishing. That's
(35:36):
what the money is, man, or own someone else's publishing.
And he said, Michael's like oh yeah, Like like who

biggest in the game. And Mike's like this, well, I'm
going I'm going to own your publishing. And he said
he was like yeah, not me, Mike, but anybody else.
And he said they laughed and he said, next day,
(35:57):
Mike Ball, the fucking publishing man, bought the ship.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And so he told me this too. He said that
him and he said him and John signed a really
kind of like fucked up deal, you know, so the
money that they were making.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
It wasn't like tons. They wish they made more, especially
on the publishing. So since Mike owned the publishing, they
thought Mike is our friend, he'd give us. He'll give
us a give us a bump, at least a bump.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Said.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
He went to Mike and hey, man, you think you
can give us a bumping up on a publishing And
Mike told him no, He.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Said his business. Wow.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
He said he wouldn'tive it to me, he said, and
that's when they kind of just stopped talking.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Wow, And I was like wow. He was like this
break a leg and then he went down. I'm letting
that high ship stage hold. Then he goes on stage
and I bombed the one of the worst shows I
ever had. And what he is? But then heed you hurt?
What was he saying? He really wanted hacking just what
(36:58):
he's doing every time a joke done work. I could
just hear far in the back and I was like this, God,
damn Paul.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Yeah, because I told people, I said, man, this show
ain't going well because I'm a little high.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But I'm gonna tell y'all why.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Later, I was like, I don't want to use it
as an excuse so I'm gonna tell you why later.
So I bombed that entire night. There's nothing worse than bombing.
And you hear like comics in the back, like.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Dying, like running around when some shit don't work or whatever.
I'm in that my favorite. I can hear him in
the back, like ship movement, like everybody. Anytime I did
the punch line and I hear Paul and they running around,
and I'm like for an hour, the whole hour. At
the end of that, I was like this, I'm glad
to show you why I'm high. Everybody. I said, I
(37:50):
got a friend named Paul here. I said, Paul, bring
your ass up here. And he came up. When he
came on stage, a whole audience gas.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
And I only work out in front of like forty
people when I'm working on new material. I'll do it
like like real small crowds. And everybody was like they
could not believe.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
He said, what are you doing that material that didn't work?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
You all the stuff that was working it didn't work
that night. No, it just it was both.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
It was stuff that had worked before that didn't work
that night because I wasn't delivering it correctly and it
was new stuff I was doing that I never done
before that I didn't believe in You gotta believe.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
In this shit when you say it.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
If you're trying to sell something, you gotta believe it,
you know what I mean. So I just didn't wasn't
believing in it, and therefore it wasn't working. But when
he came up there and he even said it, he
was like, yeah, yeah, you was bomb man, like you know,
and I was like, I know, but here's.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
The ill shit. He appreciated that night.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
So because I was talking to him like a regular motherfucker,
I wasn't bowing to him. I'm like, even we was
upstairs in the green mom' like Paul, motherfucker, come get yo, yoyo.
I'm just just just talking to him regularly and then having.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Them on stage like Yo, this is my guy. He
appreciated that real moment so much. He appreciated me bombing
because it wasn't staged. It wasn't I got to do
my best shit because Paul's here. There was a real
moment that people like him don't probably get, you know
what I mean. So he loved every moment of it,
(39:16):
and I did too, in a sense because I felt
like he would remember this, you know. I remember one
time Prince Prince. A friend of mine saw Prince on
the plane and Prince was like this.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
He was like this, yo, they go Prince and he
was like hey, Prince, and Prince said, let me show
you something, and he pulled his phone out and he
showed my guy. He was like this, this woman taking
the picture of me, and I took a picture of
her back, and my boy was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The Prince was like, man, give me a warning.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Like that little moment meant everything to him, you know
what I mean. It's like it's these little moments that
means so much to.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
These feel like regular people.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I don't feel like regular people, so these real moments
that they have with regular people are everything to them.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
You know, when people like out of them and oh
my god, that that comes every day. But if you
just treat him regularly, they you.
