Speaker 1 (09:10):
You need the alcohol? You did every ding?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yes, so I don't know what it why.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It probably could have been lifestyle leading up to that,
eating not eating right.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, I mean before I've a box I'm boxing, gym
boxing for a long fan. I'm boxed him too, but
one train for selling. I've seen it there a couple
of times, and you.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Know, getting as kick you don't get his ask kicked.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I seen him heavy man, Okay, one and good. But
that was then in the first fund I called when
I'm in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Can okay?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Because you are for people who don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
If you know anything about Kevin Hart, if you read
Kevin Hart's books, you know that Keith Robinson is a
mentor Kevin Hart. You call him a little dumb.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Ass, Yeah, little dummy. So I called him up and
I told this on Mark Twain Award. I call Can, like, man,
they're gonna put me in the COVID section and can
who know how to board showing the best of them?
Oh no they won't. No, they're not. Let me make
(10:26):
this call. Yeah, that's talking about and he hung out,
Wait a minute, who the fuck is he gonna call
doctor foux well talking about? So I ended up in
in the COVID section. I ain't there from Kevin until
I got out of the covid hilarious, and.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I was like, God, damn, Now you are a mentor
to Kevin Hart?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What did you see in Kevin early that that maybe
everybody sees now?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And took a while, but I asked can, I told
Cas should I say? He got it in the video tape?
So he made me like, um, sixteen video tapes Like
I'm like, no, no, no, But I found him wrong.
(11:20):
That one was a ship. I said, this guy can
mean something, and uh, I put uh when we did
that tape and and started going around and a guy
named Dave Vitel gave the tape to him. Dave Becky
(11:41):
and Dame Becky had seen that tape and that was
beginning a little dummy and he stopped going up and
nothing and not and and boom.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So you knew he was gonna be a stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You never know, but I was like, this guy has
something special. And then people were like when if you
want to talk about calv and all that, he had
to work, come around all the comics, mean streets O'Neill
or he had to work. We gave him help, you know,
(12:16):
we were telling him to get on stage. They weren't
throw books at him and throw books like.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah he got two yellow pages that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yes, so cal went through hell, he drove up and
down the turnpink me. We're sleeping hand and hand almost.
Cavin put the work in.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do you feel like comedians put the work in like that?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Uh No? Because the internet it's easy just to go
on the internet. We ain't go on the internet now,
you know. That makes it a lot easy. And you know,
like I've been listening to you guys a lot with
(13:07):
a comics so on and all that, and a lot
of comics like I know bomb, I know bomb, Well,
we don't bomb. You're probably a joke, thief or a hack,
but coming is a continual experiment. You're try and ship
(13:28):
out and you can be good if you're afraid to
be mad. And that's how that's old school. But olde
is always classic, and classic is what works. You've gotta
work out, you know. And I feel like a lot
(13:50):
of comics just making funny face on the Internet and
get thousands of views and they, you know, become to money.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know, it's interesting you talked about driving up and
down the turnpike, you know with keV. Kevin talks about
that and his uh, his first book. You know, you
can't make this up. When you heard, you know, Kat
Williams say that basically Kevin didn't put the work in
Nobody who keV was in La California.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What did you think about that? Being that you were
there from the.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Right, I was there from him again and and you
know I knew that just wanting that makes sense. keV
had to put them works, not main sure, then like
you have Matris and all Phil Barring, all them around
you rinch Falls, you know, Colin Quinton, you got him
(14:40):
putting them work. And you know a lot of you
don't realize they had Montreal and that's the Lion's Bank.
Then you're going to Montreal and you're gonna deal. Like
Chappelle got a lot of deals on a Montreal. I
(15:00):
got a deal a lot of Montreal, you know. So
when Caen went to Montreal, he got a deal. That's
where that came from. And that's when you get the money.
And all of agents and execs are there from Disney
or m mec AMC. And that's how that works. And
(15:22):
I think Kat knows how it works, you know. And
you know, but cav like from sure, but a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What do you say to people who said Kevin tried
to sacrifice you twice for the illuminati to gain more.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Successful illuminati And that is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I think he just made that up. I never heard
that my life. He just made that up.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
He just made that.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I've never heard dumbest ship in my life, But he did.
He tried to sacrifice me. Yeah, and for more ship,
you know. But you know, yeah, but that's my that's
my young fella, one of Sykes. That's my girl.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Amy Schumer, Amy Schumer, that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You know. Amy does a lot for the folks.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You know, you you rode on train wreck.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean, John Cena, what's going at you know, hey,
Mark Wahlberg, you know and all that, but yeah, whatever, Amy,
and then she puts me in. She Amy is good
for a lot of stuff, and she puts a lot
of black folks and a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
How did you develop that relationship with Amy? Well?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I met her, you know, and at the seller, at
the Comedy Seller, and when you started hanging out and
when asked him was going boxing to work trained? And
and you know when you developed a nice relationship from
there and you know when inspired a little bit just no, no,
(17:13):
but you know, we just hang out and have fun.
And the Comedy Selling is like a Mike family. Everybody
hangs out there and have fun and all that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So yeah, and you wrote onpel show too, right, yes, yeah,
what catches did you write?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
What did you write?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Well, it was the third season, the third season. You know,
it's funny. On that season we wrote now being bem
I and d experiment. That one's called the Black Men
(17:53):
in Dresses experiment, you know, because we saw first and
was siphilist then now to being towards some wall, being
the eye and whatever black men dresses And that's why
I line of that crazy ship and started.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh so when Yeah, So when Dave was getting to
the point where he wanted to walk away, it was
because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well yeah, and while wall but why.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Would but it was a sketchy all rode. So I'm
sure he had a perspective.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
No, while I was thinking about you know, we were thinking,
but Dame just left complain.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, oh so you wrote that after he was gone.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
No, we told him we didn't want to write it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Okay, okay, what cat I mean?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Can? Dave was in and out, back and forth, and
when like, all is he going to stand? He's going
to lean and they laught. Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
What do you think drove him to that point?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I guess fresher, the fresher and the man I mean
am I am? I going to match mild and seasons
and the fresh white black and white black gets you
all the time every time, like people will call I
(19:15):
ain't saying, well maybe that Saint Charlemagne is a sellout.
You'll get that if you're on a radio long enough
with an opinion, sooner or later somebody black gonna call
you a.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Sellout, especially with the success.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yes, yeah, but that's what happens. So that man, man,
that's what Dave too, and like, am I throwing it right?
Or black people are happy, but you can't worry about that.
We're gonna make mistakes, we're gonna do whatever, but you
know it'll work out, you know. And Dave is so
(19:53):
dope man, they like he's definitely one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Best absolutely genius out.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Question that Dave told me in joke rank when and
the Chapelle Show, You're gonna tell me in joke? And
I'm like, oh man, that's funny, he said, Keith, that's
your joke. I'm like, he wrote the joke better than me,
you know, but he's that good. And like I respect Chappelle,
(20:26):
Chris Frock won the thanks. They worked like never before
and keep coming out with stuff all the time. So
we know who the guys are. You ain't got to
look for me. You know where they are. Dave Wanna,
Frince Cat, got cats up there, and you know all.
(20:49):
It's just like I like to see that. I like
to see us give folk credit that deserve credit. And
those guys keV has been doing for so long and
they're still doing it. That takes a lot. Richard Pryor,
(21:11):
who is the best, absolutely my top guy without a doubt,
you know, but after that you got you know, Dave Frish.
I say Wanda all the time because she don't get
the love that she deserves. But yeah, we got it.
(21:33):
We got a good thing going. And when people roll,
the comics are at each other. Everybody's at each other.
But the main thing. When I got sick, all the
comics helped me out. Chris Frug you know what I mean,
Winder Force, that's my sister. We were roommates, all of them.
(21:57):
John Avatow sign faultis as he came. People don't even
know all that.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You didn't want to do a roommates?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah wait ninety two? Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, how'd that happen?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Wow? It happened through like me and cried like Chris Frock,
we were on be t together, but I didn't like
him and all that one I'm gonna get him.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Why why did you like him?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well? Because when I went to audition that time College Strip,
a guy named Dev Sweeler, he said, uh, when I
thought it good and it was eighty six, I thought
I killed But he's like nah, and one of the
good you see a guy named Chris Frock. I'm like
(22:47):
Chris Frock.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
He was jealous.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, yeah, so I finally got the meat press on
Bee T eighty eight and I'm like, yeah that we're
talking and a woman asked us on being a team,
what's your process? I said, well, in Philadelphia, lift my shoulders,
(23:13):
you know what I mean. We do, we work out,
we're trying to get better. Then Chris came up. He said, well,
I knew he had something. He said, well, in New York,
we're actually working for something HBO, NBC saying nah, And
(23:38):
I stroked more and more of my chairs listening to that,
and then I answer that I'll call one. He said,
we got to move to New York, and that's how
we moved to New York. And then ten years later
Chris picked Wanna for stretch show.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
So you know, like a lot of people don't know
what everybody does and a connection. A lot of people
don't know your connection, your connection, who hooked out and
all that. They don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They just think, you know, they think it's some industry ship,
but they don't realize, like, no, these real relationships.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That ford the relationship, yes and grinding out and all that.
Why was upset? When you know how you know a
lot of things and when Chris Rock rought on the
show that chains Arkham and everything and Chris rockins got
(24:41):
a lot of people want in and people don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You think about that Chris Rock Show, Chris Rocket, Wanda Sykes,
Lewis c K. Who else is on that show? Dude
that play Poody Tame. What's the brother name? I can't
remember the name Lance Lance? Yes, yeah, they saything with Dave.

I said, I can't stand you. I was rooting for
you to get shot.
Speaker 2 (26:11):

(26:36):
passed away. But it was always asked me to door
shown in the neighborhood. But I wanted to, you know,
be the guy and come back triumphant and then happen.
So when when he died, I was like, whoa, We're

about a guy named Fat Timmy on the bank, on
Fat Timmy on Tommy. It was so funny and everybody
in the name one still remember Donald from that juontcause
there was that powerful and that's the only reason I
(27:44):
like that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Now they said, well, I don't have a reason to
like he done. Is one of the best stand ups
doing it. You got you gotta give him his credit
because he'll say that we didn't get give too much credit.
But he's one of their best stand ups doing it
absolutely now.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
At one time they said, you lost your voice.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes man, And after the stroke, my voice was gone,
my voice box and all that, and I got a
contraption on nine thousand dollars I'm putting in my mouth no,
(28:24):
and contraption stopped the air from escaping from my nose,
you know, and I end up losing it. But I
had enough confidence by that with my voice coming back
to go on. And I needed that one minute confidence
(28:46):
because that was mostly one the confidence I cann it.
And when you can talk and it's so frustrated and
I do it joking, and it's special. Different strokes about
going through the drawing room. And when you go through
(29:07):
the drawing room when you can talk clear, they barely
understand what you're saying. And they were like I was
at and I said the Chick Filang. I was at
the Chick Filane, and I was like can I and
so we don't understand you, and we don't understand I'm like, old, no,
(29:28):
your chick Filane. You saw nothing but chicken. Guess what
I want, you know, and just figure it out. You
ain't got nothing else chicken, That's it. And you know,
and that was a frustration, And it really was frustrating
(29:51):
when people don't understand you. You can't curge some my help,
but they gonna want, you know, they talk ship.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So did you ever think you lost your funny? Or
did you or did you ever lose your funny? Meaning
like you didn't find anything humorous?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No? Not, no, you know I found a lot of
stuff funny that happened, you know, because that's what it is,
you know. But like I said, when Chris, when I
went back to the cellar, Chris Rock his first thing
on hey stroking Robinson. I love like that. But that
(30:37):
let me know A was back. That's right, that's right.
You know, I ain't getting mad. I was back. I'm like, yes,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
What did you say back to him?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Though?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Not? I was laughing, Okay, anyone to understand anyone because
my voice was still messed up. So he like something
he said, stroking Robinson.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I'm like, my man, you know, did you say to
Chris after the Will Smith incident?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
You know, I'm from feeling one from feeling you know, Charlie, Mike,
I know him and all that. I just didn't like it,
you know, because Chris is like, you know, I love
that guy, and you know I ain't me well, I lot,
(31:25):
but you know in pheeling, so I got I had
feeling love for him in the way. But man, that hurt.
And see that because there was you know that that
moment it was just it wasn't not I didn't laugh.
I didn't you know. I'm like, I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It wasn't nothing funny about him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I found funny and everything, but not not that. Maybe
it was somebody else I was like, but it was Chris,
you know what I mean? And that that doubt me
a little bit. You know, it's over, hopefully.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You know what did you say to him? Did you
say anything to him?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I mean I would ride. I had a joke, but
it was just a one time joke. I ain't funneled
on nothing. Chris called me struggling Robinson. I'll call him
slapping white. You know that's a little, you know, a
little corny joke, but you know, saluted them.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
What qualities do the greats like Kevin, Dave, Chris, what
qualities do they have that make them.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Who they are?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Ryan? They're working out, you know when we got there,

guy coming, you know, Michael Change coming, you know, And
I like to see that. I never was jealous him.
(33:02):
Anybody you're jealous of Chris. No, I wasn't jealous of him.
I was fake, man. I was kind of man with
somebody saying, hey, get out there and you should meet
Chris Rock. I mean, the guy was looking back on it,
the guy was absolutely right. But you know, yeah, like
(33:27):
I bring a lot of comics in, like the at
the end of my special, you see all the comics
around me when the credits rolling, But that's all the comics,
you know, you bring in. And I think every comic
bring another damn coming in. Stop talking and happened. I
(33:52):
loved what Tiffany had said, shah, they ready bring comic sins.
Stop from playing in the winding about you people, make
everything about themselves. What the common You keep bringing them
(34:12):
in and then you know it helps out. So you
have all the commons. Wait, man, you have all the comics,
and it's like and that keeps it going, you know,
like I said, and your show, Michael Chang, other folks
(34:35):
round your conquest from Roe Martin and Derek Ganges, Thin
and Am Johnson a name meana of money. All those
folks bring them in and you know, and then you
see it keeps going and going and it never stops.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Kevin did that for you with uh back of the
bus backing a bunch of funny Yeah, that was your
That was your first special. That was That was a
Kevin Hart persition.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, but Kevin knew better. What you mean he knew better?
I socked him, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh yeah, what did more for you? That special back then?
Or that this one now? That Netflix?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
This one?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Why said that.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
You can feeling you can feel one and ten you
know the ecosystem. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know and different strokes.
Now that one is doing great because it's back on now.
They brought him but on every platform. Excuse me, that's
ten years every platform. Back in the bunchet keeps going.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
What made you want to do this special? What made
you say, you know I want to do it? Did
you feel like I don't know if I want to
put this out there?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
No, I wanted to put that out here before before,
and when I was holding didn't even reform. I was
talking to Charlie Mack on the phone. I said, now what,
I'm gonna do a special and I'm gonna call it
different Strokes and he said what Yeah, he said, well,
(36:17):
what about different stroke And that's that's Charlie's then foot
shut up, Charlie. But yeah, I knew I wanted to
do something. And then when I got back on stage
for the first time, it was like I was nervous
because I didn't know my voice was list so I was,
(36:40):
you know, but and one one pretty good, and I
kept going and going. I called one to psych something.
I said, wanna, I'm ready to go on the road
and wanted to win a road and stop building and
building and building, And that was it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I heard you say that you don't want audiences to
pity you. You know you want their laughs. How do
you know you're not getting pity laughs?
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Oh? I know, okay, because I do my best, Like,
you know, they look at me when I see them
penny in man, you know, I'll throw something in there
and throw them all when they got this guy in
an asshole, and I'm saying, you know, I'm newing handicapped.
(37:32):
I was never a handicapped for when I'm doing this
shit but only thinking about it. Sometimes I'm forgetting that
them a handicapped when I find myself laughing and handicapped people,
so they like they gone that I give them those shots.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I feel like you can do that though it's like
a black person saying the N word, like we can
say it because we're black. I feel like you can
make handicapped jokes and laughing handicap people.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because you know, there's what happened. People will be in
the handicamp, all in line right and feel coming and
look at me like this guy's a fraud. He wasn't
born handicap. We're born this way. And then look, you know,
(38:20):
I bought the person looking at me. He was asking
for it. This nigga was asking for it.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
So there's a beef between naturally born.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
So you like a you like trans handed Jesus Christy,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
So this handicap and.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Trans handicap.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
My goodness, you trans handicap.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Do you look at did you look at handycap people differently?
Because you know, because you know one time you would
just hayy cat'spot, just take the spot, just what it.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Is, you know what I mean? Do you look at
the handicap people differently?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And no, I mean I see what they go through now,
you know, And I'm more aware when I see a
guy want a handicap thing and he's walking with no problem.
I get it. Kind of I don't get kind of angry.
I ain't want to come on, man, look at me living,
(39:34):
you know what I mean, I get it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Do you have any like stroke awareness, Like do you
tell people, like you know, other comedians or just people
in general, things that they can change now, so maybe
have some preventive measures to not have a stroke.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
No, damn, I don't.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Give it down. No, No, I you know what. No,
I don't want to. I don't want them to do
that walk around the stroke.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Okay, but but you know, like because people should know, like,
you know, we talk about up here about men's health.
He always talks about, you know, getting a colonoscope. So
I was just questioned, like, you know, you you made
fun earlier about the you know, the the biabra, But
do you know what the reason was it?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
High blood pressure? Was it the way that you ate?
Was it not sleeping?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah? Probably all that all on Bob, And you know
me in a coming I'm never going to do that
all right anymore? Run a month all time. You know
when I say, if there's something going wrong and you're feeling,
(40:45):
go down the hospital, I joke. I mean I was
a jackass. I won't. I would be still able to
box if I don't want you in the hospital still,
but I got lad. No, you do if if there's
(41:11):
something that you feel you gotta go to the hospital,
what the hell it is? Because you never know, you know,
and I knew, actually you know, I won't you know,
walking around like letting being like, oh ship, what's going on?
(41:32):
I'm probably asking like that was going you know what?
God was with me through all that, And you.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Know that is you think you're funnier now or funnier
before the scrouke?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Now? I think, you know, I actually think I'm funnier
now because I'm more in the pocket and more word
economy and I weren't like I'm painting man. And now
let me look at back in the bus. It's funny.
I was all over the place, moving around and can jive,
(42:11):
and I felt some movement can help out the jokes.
Moving now can't help out the jokes. Now and now
I have to express exactly one of the ends towards tea.
So I think her named me better now. But I
was always pretty good.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
I remember you and Amy had that podcast or Three Girls,
One Keys. Yeah, I stopped doing that? Was that after?

Yes, so cal went through hell, he drove up and
down the turnpink me. We're sleeping hand and hand almost.
Cavin put the work in.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do you feel like comedians put the work in like that?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Uh No? Because the internet it's easy just to go
on the internet. We ain't go on the internet now,
you know. That makes it a lot easy. And you know,
like I've been listening to you guys a lot with
(13:07):
a comics so on and all that, and a lot
of comics like I know bomb, I know bomb, Well,
we don't bomb. You're probably a joke, thief or a hack,
but coming is a continual experiment. You're try and ship
(13:28):
out and you can be good if you're afraid to
be mad. And that's how that's old school. But olde
is always classic, and classic is what works. You've gotta
work out, you know. And I feel like a lot
(13:50):
of comics just making funny face on the Internet and
get thousands of views and they, you know, become to money.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know, it's interesting you talked about driving up and
down the turnpike, you know with keV. Kevin talks about
that and his uh, his first book. You know, you
can't make this up. When you heard, you know, Kat
Williams say that basically Kevin didn't put the work in
Nobody who keV was in La California.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What did you think about that? Being that you were
there from the.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Right, I was there from him again and and you
know I knew that just wanting that makes sense. keV
had to put them works, not main sure, then like
you have Matris and all Phil Barring, all them around
you rinch Falls, you know, Colin Quinton, you got him
(14:40):
putting them work. And you know a lot of you
don't realize they had Montreal and that's the Lion's Bank.
Then you're going to Montreal and you're gonna deal. Like
Chappelle got a lot of deals on a Montreal. I
(15:00):
got a deal a lot of Montreal, you know. So
when Caen went to Montreal, he got a deal. That's
where that came from. And that's when you get the money.
And all of agents and execs are there from Disney
or m mec AMC. And that's how that works. And
(15:22):
I think Kat knows how it works, you know. And
you know, but cav like from sure, but a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What do you say to people who said Kevin tried
to sacrifice you twice for the illuminati to gain more.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Successful illuminati And that is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I think he just made that up. I never heard
that my life. He just made that up.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
He just made that.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I've never heard dumbest ship in my life, But he did.
He tried to sacrifice me. Yeah, and for more ship,
you know. But you know, yeah, but that's my that's
my young fella, one of Sykes. That's my girl.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Amy Schumer, Amy Schumer, that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You know. Amy does a lot for the folks.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You know, you you rode on train wreck.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean, John Cena, what's going at you know, hey,
Mark Wahlberg, you know and all that, but yeah, whatever, Amy,
and then she puts me in. She Amy is good
for a lot of stuff, and she puts a lot
of black folks and a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
How did you develop that relationship with Amy? Well?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I met her, you know, and at the seller, at
the Comedy Seller, and when you started hanging out and
when asked him was going boxing to work trained? And
and you know when you developed a nice relationship from
there and you know when inspired a little bit just no, no,
(17:13):
but you know, we just hang out and have fun.
And the Comedy Selling is like a Mike family. Everybody
hangs out there and have fun and all that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So yeah, and you wrote onpel show too, right, yes, yeah,
what catches did you write?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
What did you write?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Well, it was the third season, the third season. You know,
it's funny. On that season we wrote now being bem
I and d experiment. That one's called the Black Men
(17:53):
in Dresses experiment, you know, because we saw first and
was siphilist then now to being towards some wall, being
the eye and whatever black men dresses And that's why
I line of that crazy ship and started.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh so when Yeah, So when Dave was getting to
the point where he wanted to walk away, it was
because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well yeah, and while wall but why.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Would but it was a sketchy all rode. So I'm
sure he had a perspective.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
No, while I was thinking about you know, we were thinking,
but Dame just left complain.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, oh so you wrote that after he was gone.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
No, we told him we didn't want to write it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Okay, okay, what cat I mean?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Can? Dave was in and out, back and forth, and
when like, all is he going to stand? He's going
to lean and they laught. Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
What do you think drove him to that point?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I guess fresher, the fresher and the man I mean
am I am? I going to match mild and seasons
and the fresh white black and white black gets you
all the time every time, like people will call I
(19:15):
ain't saying, well maybe that Saint Charlemagne is a sellout.
You'll get that if you're on a radio long enough
with an opinion, sooner or later somebody black gonna call
you a.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Sellout, especially with the success.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yes, yeah, but that's what happens. So that man, man,
that's what Dave too, and like, am I throwing it right?
Or black people are happy, but you can't worry about that.
We're gonna make mistakes, we're gonna do whatever, but you
know it'll work out, you know. And Dave is so
(19:53):
dope man, they like he's definitely one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Best absolutely genius out.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Question that Dave told me in joke rank when and
the Chapelle Show, You're gonna tell me in joke? And
I'm like, oh man, that's funny, he said, Keith, that's
your joke. I'm like, he wrote the joke better than me,
you know, but he's that good. And like I respect Chappelle,
(20:26):
Chris Frock won the thanks. They worked like never before
and keep coming out with stuff all the time. So
we know who the guys are. You ain't got to
look for me. You know where they are. Dave Wanna,
Frince Cat, got cats up there, and you know all.
(20:49):
It's just like I like to see that. I like
to see us give folk credit that deserve credit. And
those guys keV has been doing for so long and
they're still doing it. That takes a lot. Richard Pryor,
(21:11):
who is the best, absolutely my top guy without a doubt,
you know, but after that you got you know, Dave Frish.
I say Wanda all the time because she don't get
the love that she deserves. But yeah, we got it.
(21:33):
We got a good thing going. And when people roll,
the comics are at each other. Everybody's at each other.
But the main thing. When I got sick, all the
comics helped me out. Chris Frug you know what I mean,
Winder Force, that's my sister. We were roommates, all of them.
(21:57):
John Avatow sign faultis as he came. People don't even
know all that.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You didn't want to do a roommates?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah wait ninety two? Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, how'd that happen?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Wow? It happened through like me and cried like Chris Frock,
we were on be t together, but I didn't like
him and all that one I'm gonna get him.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Why why did you like him?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well? Because when I went to audition that time College Strip,
a guy named Dev Sweeler, he said, uh, when I
thought it good and it was eighty six, I thought
I killed But he's like nah, and one of the
good you see a guy named Chris Frock. I'm like
(22:47):
Chris Frock.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
He was jealous.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, yeah, so I finally got the meat press on
Bee T eighty eight and I'm like, yeah that we're
talking and a woman asked us on being a team,
what's your process? I said, well, in Philadelphia, lift my shoulders,
(23:13):
you know what I mean. We do, we work out,
we're trying to get better. Then Chris came up. He said, well,
I knew he had something. He said, well, in New York,
we're actually working for something HBO, NBC saying nah, And
(23:38):
I stroked more and more of my chairs listening to that,
and then I answer that I'll call one. He said,
we got to move to New York, and that's how
we moved to New York. And then ten years later
Chris picked Wanna for stretch show.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
So you know, like a lot of people don't know
what everybody does and a connection. A lot of people
don't know your connection, your connection, who hooked out and
all that. They don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They just think, you know, they think it's some industry ship,
but they don't realize, like, no, these real relationships.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That ford the relationship, yes and grinding out and all that.
Why was upset? When you know how you know a
lot of things and when Chris Rock rought on the
show that chains Arkham and everything and Chris rockins got
(24:41):
a lot of people want in and people don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You think about that Chris Rock Show, Chris Rocket, Wanda Sykes,
Lewis c K. Who else is on that show? Dude
that play Poody Tame. What's the brother name? I can't
remember the name Lance Lance? Yes, yeah, they saything with Dave.
You watch Dave Show now so many people. That's somebody
that was all over Chapel Show, Bill Bird episode Rogan
(25:06):

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Stop it down that one. Let me tell you something.
It's not now.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
He bugged me, donell he bugs me? Now, let's talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Now we're gonna talk.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's him right there.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
You see him right there with getting Aggie's right there.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Talk about it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
He bugs me?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Now, let's talk about like he bugs all of us?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Now, this is this is kind of funny. I guess
he was in a movie, right, Which movie? I don't know.
It's When Cameron or something.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh, Death of a Dynasty one of the movies.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
What those stupid movies was? But I handed him so
bad the movie I was rooting for him they get shot, Yes,
I was rooting. I'm kid him, get him.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And then when he finally got shot, he still was
hammering it up, pop back up, I'm like I called him.
I said, I can't stand you. I was rooting for
you to get shot.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
And how much I'm gonna use that one on him?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Now He'll tell you, well, why do love him? Now?
That's why I love down now? Ninety four ninety five,
I didn't shown in the projects, well, you know, mainly
for my boy. Nain't singaptary, but you know he had
(26:36):
passed away. But it was always asked me to door
shown in the neighborhood. But I wanted to, you know,
be the guy and come back triumphant and then happen.
So when when he died, I was like, whoa, We're
gonna do this show, right, a project And I brought
(26:57):
down now well Simmons in that one's and wrench falls
and one Dare and Donell killed so hard. He wasn't
mob back then. He was good now now, but he
(27:22):
killed so hard they still talk about him. You're talking
about a guy named Fat Timmy on the bank, on
Fat Timmy on Tommy. It was so funny and everybody
in the name one still remember Donald from that juontcause
there was that powerful and that's the only reason I
(27:44):
like that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Now they said, well, I don't have a reason to
like he done. Is one of the best stand ups
doing it. You got you gotta give him his credit
because he'll say that we didn't get give too much credit.
But he's one of their best stand ups doing it
absolutely now.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
At one time they said, you lost your voice.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes man, And after the stroke, my voice was gone,
my voice box and all that, and I got a
contraption on nine thousand dollars I'm putting in my mouth no,
(28:24):
and contraption stopped the air from escaping from my nose,
you know, and I end up losing it. But I
had enough confidence by that with my voice coming back
to go on. And I needed that one minute confidence
(28:46):
because that was mostly one the confidence I cann it.
And when you can talk and it's so frustrated and
I do it joking, and it's special. Different strokes about
going through the drawing room. And when you go through
(29:07):
the drawing room when you can talk clear, they barely
understand what you're saying. And they were like I was
at and I said the Chick Filang. I was at
the Chick Filane, and I was like can I and
so we don't understand you, and we don't understand I'm like, old, no,
(29:28):
your chick Filane. You saw nothing but chicken. Guess what
I want, you know, and just figure it out. You
ain't got nothing else chicken, That's it. And you know,
and that was a frustration, And it really was frustrating
(29:51):
when people don't understand you. You can't curge some my help,
but they gonna want, you know, they talk ship.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So did you ever think you lost your funny? Or
did you or did you ever lose your funny? Meaning
like you didn't find anything humorous?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No? Not, no, you know I found a lot of
stuff funny that happened, you know, because that's what it is,
you know. But like I said, when Chris, when I
went back to the cellar, Chris Rock his first thing
on hey stroking Robinson. I love like that. But that
(30:37):
let me know A was back. That's right, that's right.
You know, I ain't getting mad. I was back. I'm like, yes,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
What did you say back to him?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Though?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Not? I was laughing, Okay, anyone to understand anyone because
my voice was still messed up. So he like something
he said, stroking Robinson.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I'm like, my man, you know, did you say to
Chris after the Will Smith incident?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
You know, I'm from feeling one from feeling you know, Charlie, Mike,
I know him and all that. I just didn't like it,
you know, because Chris is like, you know, I love
that guy, and you know I ain't me well, I lot,
(31:25):
but you know in pheeling, so I got I had
feeling love for him in the way. But man, that hurt.
And see that because there was you know that that
moment it was just it wasn't not I didn't laugh.
I didn't you know. I'm like, I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It wasn't nothing funny about him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I found funny and everything, but not not that. Maybe
it was somebody else I was like, but it was Chris,
you know what I mean? And that that doubt me
a little bit. You know, it's over, hopefully.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You know what did you say to him? Did you
say anything to him?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I mean I would ride. I had a joke, but
it was just a one time joke. I ain't funneled
on nothing. Chris called me struggling Robinson. I'll call him
slapping white. You know that's a little, you know, a
little corny joke, but you know, saluted them.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
What qualities do the greats like Kevin, Dave, Chris, what
qualities do they have that make them.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Who they are?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Ryan? They're working out, you know when we got there,
I'm coming, guys, young boy, and you shatz it's my
guy coming, you know, Michael Change coming, you know, And
I like to see that. I never was jealous him.
(33:02):
Anybody you're jealous of Chris. No, I wasn't jealous of him.
I was fake, man. I was kind of man with
somebody saying, hey, get out there and you should meet
Chris Rock. I mean, the guy was looking back on it,
the guy was absolutely right. But you know, yeah, like
(33:27):
I bring a lot of comics in, like the at
the end of my special, you see all the comics
around me when the credits rolling, But that's all the comics,
you know, you bring in. And I think every comic
bring another damn coming in. Stop talking and happened. I
(33:52):
loved what Tiffany had said, shah, they ready bring comic sins.
Stop from playing in the winding about you people, make
everything about themselves. What the common You keep bringing them
(34:12):
in and then you know it helps out. So you
have all the commons. Wait, man, you have all the comics,
and it's like and that keeps it going, you know,
like I said, and your show, Michael Chang, other folks
(34:35):
round your conquest from Roe Martin and Derek Ganges, Thin
and Am Johnson a name meana of money. All those
folks bring them in and you know, and then you
see it keeps going and going and it never stops.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Kevin did that for you with uh back of the
bus backing a bunch of funny Yeah, that was your
That was your first special. That was That was a
Kevin Hart persition.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, but Kevin knew better. What you mean he knew better?
I socked him, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh yeah, what did more for you? That special back then?
Or that this one now? That Netflix?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
This one?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Why said that.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
You can feeling you can feel one and ten you
know the ecosystem. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know and different strokes.
Now that one is doing great because it's back on now.
They brought him but on every platform. Excuse me, that's
ten years every platform. Back in the bunchet keeps going.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
What made you want to do this special? What made
you say, you know I want to do it? Did
you feel like I don't know if I want to
put this out there?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
No, I wanted to put that out here before before,
and when I was holding didn't even reform. I was
talking to Charlie Mack on the phone. I said, now what,
I'm gonna do a special and I'm gonna call it
different Strokes and he said what Yeah, he said, well,
(36:17):
what about different stroke And that's that's Charlie's then foot
shut up, Charlie. But yeah, I knew I wanted to
do something. And then when I got back on stage
for the first time, it was like I was nervous
because I didn't know my voice was list so I was,
(36:40):
you know, but and one one pretty good, and I
kept going and going. I called one to psych something.
I said, wanna, I'm ready to go on the road
and wanted to win a road and stop building and
building and building, And that was it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I heard you say that you don't want audiences to
pity you. You know you want their laughs. How do
you know you're not getting pity laughs?
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Oh? I know, okay, because I do my best, Like,
you know, they look at me when I see them
penny in man, you know, I'll throw something in there
and throw them all when they got this guy in
an asshole, and I'm saying, you know, I'm newing handicapped.
(37:32):
I was never a handicapped for when I'm doing this
shit but only thinking about it. Sometimes I'm forgetting that
them a handicapped when I find myself laughing and handicapped people,
so they like they gone that I give them those shots.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I feel like you can do that though it's like
a black person saying the N word, like we can
say it because we're black. I feel like you can
make handicapped jokes and laughing handicap people.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because you know, there's what happened. People will be in
the handicamp, all in line right and feel coming and
look at me like this guy's a fraud. He wasn't
born handicap. We're born this way. And then look, you know,
(38:20):
I bought the person looking at me. He was asking
for it. This nigga was asking for it.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
So there's a beef between naturally born.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
So you like a you like trans handed Jesus Christy,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
So this handicap and.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Trans handicap.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
My goodness, you trans handicap.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Do you look at did you look at handycap people differently?
Because you know, because you know one time you would
just hayy cat'spot, just take the spot, just what it.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Is, you know what I mean? Do you look at
the handicap people differently?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And no, I mean I see what they go through now,
you know, And I'm more aware when I see a
guy want a handicap thing and he's walking with no problem.
I get it. Kind of I don't get kind of angry.
I ain't want to come on, man, look at me living,
(39:34):
you know what I mean, I get it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Do you have any like stroke awareness, Like do you
tell people, like you know, other comedians or just people
in general, things that they can change now, so maybe
have some preventive measures to not have a stroke.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
No, damn, I don't.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Give it down. No, No, I you know what. No,
I don't want to. I don't want them to do
that walk around the stroke.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Okay, but but you know, like because people should know, like,
you know, we talk about up here about men's health.
He always talks about, you know, getting a colonoscope. So
I was just questioned, like, you know, you you made
fun earlier about the you know, the the biabra, But
do you know what the reason was it?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
High blood pressure? Was it the way that you ate?
Was it not sleeping?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah? Probably all that all on Bob, And you know
me in a coming I'm never going to do that
all right anymore? Run a month all time. You know
when I say, if there's something going wrong and you're feeling,
(40:45):
go down the hospital, I joke. I mean I was
a jackass. I won't. I would be still able to
box if I don't want you in the hospital still,
but I got lad. No, you do if if there's
(41:11):
something that you feel you gotta go to the hospital,
what the hell it is? Because you never know, you know,
and I knew, actually you know, I won't you know,
walking around like letting being like, oh ship, what's going on?
(41:32):
I'm probably asking like that was going you know what?
God was with me through all that, And you.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Know that is you think you're funnier now or funnier
before the scrouke?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Now? I think, you know, I actually think I'm funnier
now because I'm more in the pocket and more word
economy and I weren't like I'm painting man. And now
let me look at back in the bus. It's funny.
I was all over the place, moving around and can jive,
(42:11):
and I felt some movement can help out the jokes.
Moving now can't help out the jokes. Now and now
I have to express exactly one of the ends towards tea.
So I think her named me better now. But I
was always pretty good.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
I remember you and Amy had that podcast or Three Girls,
One Keys. Yeah, I stopped doing that? Was that after?
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Yeah? Why the first strike? That was the first struck? Okay,
the first struck? I was still moving. You know. We
did a thing Faull. Was I onder the thing? Was
I wrong? Now I'm gonna ask you guys, was I'm wrong?
This girl called me from New York? Right she was
(42:59):
in She said, Ky, come to filling up here and
let's gonna ride swim got something? I said, Well, I'm
coming from New York. I'm not coming for no reason.
Come on, now, you know what I'm saying. She said, no,
(43:19):
I got it. So we go to Red Lobson that's
when Red Lobster was a ship, and I go there.
She say, belting right, I said, well, we want to
go to this hotel, said no, I kind a headache.
I said, okay, okay, And so I said, oh this dessert,
(43:45):
