So what what was your How did you come up
with good grief?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I mean, Charlie Brown fan, you know, and I just
and it's just like I felt like at this point
in my life, a fifty like life, forty seven, life.
Speaker 3 (02:18):

Speaker 5 (02:21):
If you live long enough, you're gonna you go and

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Dark time?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
He knows I'm talking about his kin what it used
to be. Anyway, what I'm saying, he ain't here to
defend this.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I'm gonna give you dunky of to day.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Dunk here, a good day goes to Charlemagne to God
for not being here for this interview. And you know,
I love you, brother, but it's wrong for you to
be missing flights. You know better, You know better, get
your ass on the flight and be here when Legends
is in the building and my photo is right there.
All right, So I'm gonna split donkey of the day
(03:00):
Charalamagne because he did put my photo on the wall.
But why you put me looking like lok dog and
why my eyes bugged out like that. I know, like
country rain, here's a my whole thing here, guys, is
what's that talk about?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is good?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Because I wanted to gift people like something like I'm
I think for me as a as as an artist,
I want to be bigger than just like jokes. I
need to give him something that sticks. And I think
life experiences a little bit of lesson and a little
a lot of bit of like God here and there.
(03:37):
People need that right now. And I want to rescue
people because depression is real. And I was battling depression
when I lost fifty seven fifty eight people I loved
in three years, and then I lost my parents. So
I was just say like I couldn't even say the
word like, I couldn't even say, can I curse?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I missed my mama so much. I couldn't even say
the word mother and say motherfucker. I couldn't I talking
about say I'd start crying because I'm that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I was born on her birthday.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
So I realized as I was going through it in
the middle of working on my mother set my father past,
and I was like, wow, let me keep working and
getting through this, and I started finding light and their
experience and the joy of the laughter and what they
taught me and all the jewels and the lessons, and
how grateful I was to be able to even have
my parents for forty seven to fifty years of my life.
(04:31):
And so instead of just grieving where it's misery, I'm
going no, no, no, no. You go through darkness to
find something light. So it's all about your perspective. If
you find jokes, you find laughter, it's healing. So I've
learned to laugh at things that hurt me as soon
as possible. And I think that's where I create from now,
and that's my best art. I'm telling you, like I
(04:53):
feel like these are my best years. When my parents
left me, they left me with something. They left me
with this confidence. Now now I know I always had God,
but now I got wings. I got my mom on
my right, I got my dad on my left, and
now I'm lifting into this place where oh I see it,
I see stand up, I see like in.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Movies I do dramas. I used to have to reach
for tears. I don't have to reach no more. I
got things.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Think about my parents and how much I'm missing and
I cried like like Daniel Klua, I had them get
out tears on.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You last time you were here. I actually, you know,
I think you got the call that he was It was.
It was bad because I remember when you came up.
They were like, well, he just got the call, so
we don't know if he wants to continue with the interview.
And you still continue with the interview.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So I was gonna don't make my money, and I
don't make my money.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
How you just go from sad?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
But I miss your dad, But I got to pay
for your funeral, So not interview. No, I had worse
than that. So he got over that one. The show
must go on the audience as much as they understand.
I don't want to make them understand I'm a pro. Right,
So I got to call my dad died fifteen minutes
(06:06):
before I was going on stage. And it was a
small club. It was Flappers in LA and I was
just kind of working out, getting ready for a bigger show.
And right then and there, I got to call my
dad died and I had two shows. So I was like,
I cried in my car, I took a deep breath,
I did what my dad did when he had hard days.
(06:28):
I talked to God and then I was like, all right,
let's go do this. Because my dad wouldn't want me
to cancel the show. He go, you better make that
money jet And so I honored my parents. I do
the work, and then on stage I let the audience know,
thank y'all for letting me get through this, and broke
down crying. And it's funny, man, when you allow yourself
to be vulnerable on the stage, you don't really know
(06:49):
the audience is love until you're in a bad situation,
and then you feel their support because they come and
that they hold you up, and even if they don't
don't do it physically, the fact that they appreciate you
as an artist and you feel their love. You don't
feel their love sometimes when we're doing well when you're
doing bad. And that that night was only the four
(07:12):
hundred people, But thank you for everybody that held me
up during that that that that night, and it was
a great night. I got two stand ovations and it
wasn't because of the tears. I didn't use the tears
to get the standing ovation. I got stand vasion on
him Joe, because then after it I was like, my
dad is dead.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is it therapy for you?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Because you talk about it a lot in this in
this special Right. And my son who just turned ten
a couple of days ago, Right, he was very close
to his grandmother. He lost his grandmother, So for a birthday,
he was crying, right, And he cries a lot when
he thinks about her.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm not as sensitive as he is, so it gets
to the point where I don't know what to say anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So last night I was like, you're being selfish and
he's crying.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He looks at me, like what because you know if
he wants people look, you're being selfish.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You go, what you mean?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I go?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know if grandma was here, she would be in pain,
to be hurt, Yeah, dementia, I said, Right now, she's
in heaven looking down and she ain't in pain.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So you wanted to come back down.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Here in pain.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you used to give your son a guilt consciences.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
He may never cried against but but.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You know why he loves her so much. Because people parents,
as they get older, right, they get nicer.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I don't know if they trying to work their way
into heaven or what, but they get nice, and my
mom and dad, like your parents and your grandparents, ain't
gonna be as nice to you as they are to
your kids.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You get the sweetest, sweetest version of them. So she
whipped your ass. He didn't. He didn't get noose fankers.
He's like them. I was the best. She gave me candy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
You know what I'm saying. But you know so.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But it's it's good to teach him. Laughter, man, let
him watch the special.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well I would have.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But see, I think you pulled out the A K
forty seven. You're just shooting at everybody like you watch it.
You not scared somebody gonna put you in the face.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I just here's the thing. I only talk about people
that either I could beat up or I know I
could run from.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Shaq can't catch me. Okay can't catch me.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
He can't check he can't.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He can't even catch Charles Barkley or Kenny or Kenny
dismiss and you see his legs.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
You can't be able to catch this, can't he dismissed
legs on backwards? That's my boy.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Every disease, every disease you gave the shock shat got
a good sense of humor.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
He gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Shack. No, he don't know. Nobody understand what he's saying.
But he's my guy, is the first one.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Now that makes your problem.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But I hope I can outrun him.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, I'm in trouble. But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And I talk about magic, right, But what I didn't
put in the Special that I because for timing is
and this is honestly, I say magic is a hero.
I look at magic and I'm like, yo, because let
me tell you something, like the whole special, the theme
of the special, life sometimes deals.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You a really bad hand. You don't always have pocket ass.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Sometimes you got a two out of ten and you
sitting there and you gotta play the rest of your hand.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The rest of your life. And it's not about your cards.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Magic has taught everybody it's not about the cards you
get dealt It's about how you play your hand. That
man is more successful now than he's ever been. I
look at him like a hero. I'm really he is magic,
Like I'm for him to conquer that in front of
our eyes. I think, like that's a hero story. Now,
of course I got these jokes, but the point is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He's a hero. Bro.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You you said he shouldn't be here. You say he
shouldn't be here. He said be Dad, I didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I said someone else.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But I'm telling the joke.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
But like you said, he shouldn't be I didn't say
that like that. I think, right, yeah it was. It
wasn't that like its interpreted my word like that. I
love them, Okay, I do. I love them, But these
are these jokes, man.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I think everybody needs to learn to laugh again, even
at dark stuff. We need to be rescued. They're not
doing comedies. People ain't doing real jokes no more. Everybody
trying to just do this happy fier fuck that. I'm
here for these jokes. And if you got a problem,
then ay man, I'm sorry. Some people are gonna be
offended by your jokes. But if I tell a joke
(11:32):
in ninety nine and a crown full of one thousand
people and nine hundred and ninety nine people laugh, that's
a damn good joke and that one person walk out,
that's a sensitive motherfucker. Now if I tell a joke
and nine hundred and ninety nine people walk out and
one person laughing, you gotta change that joke.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
So for me, I heard a lot of laughs.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
So I'm gonna do them jokes and if somebody's sensitive
then and I get canceled. Great, Canceled me means you
wasn't my fan to begin with. Cancel means you don't
understand my point of view. Cancel mean get your sensitive
ass to fuck away from me, because in't want to
tell my jokes to your ass anyway. I'm trying to
bring back that old school New York stand on the block,
(12:13):
stand on the street corner, talk.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Shit about each other and laugh it through. That's how
we came up.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
We talked shit about each other.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Since when we can't talk shit about each other like
oh you're fat shaming, well, bitch, lose weight period, you
shame shaming.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And look at our society.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Look how bad things have gotten because we ain't keeping
it real no more, because we ain't saying what's on
our mind. Because everybody's sensitive. This next generation is gonna
be a bunch of pussies. I'm not raising my children
like that. I'm raising them a sense of humor because
life is gonna get dark. And if you don't know
how to laugh at inappropriate things, even your childhood. Things
that hurt you the most you gotta learn laugh about
(12:53):
and if you don't, then you have a.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Really long, tough, hard life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But you know, you know why, it's like that a
little bit too right, Like you look at and I'll
bringing to Kendrick and Drake beef right where they going
back and forth and they going they just throwing all
types of shots.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I thought that was that was that was my my
favorite time in hip hop. Like that was like that
was like, Yo, they fighting this though up the block.
That was like we was back in the projects. Yo,
Lakeisha and they about to fight again. She got the vasoline. Yeah,
and they fight and they they become friends again.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But the problem is you got a corporation that'll be like,
oh he said he's a pedophile. We have to we
can't endorse him anymore. But like you said, it's jokes,
and that's how these corporations take it. They don't take
him as funny no more, well they are.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
That's when they were just going at each other hard.
It was a lot like you going there and you're
gonna talk to me about magic. Everything is jokes. Everything
is jokes. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This whole beef between them they'll get over it. And corporations, yes, corporations.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
But here's the thing, I ain't got no, no, no,
I ain't got no brands slapped on this Nascar.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'm blank. I don't have association with brands and things
like that associated with people with my brand that want
to be in business with me.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
From my point of view that I've developed over a
fifty year fifty two year lifetime and over a thirty
four year span in this industry, I've done sketch, I've
done sitcom, I've written, produced, started multiple movies.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And franchises, and I have a point of view.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now, if you want to be associated with me, it's
because you know I can sell your product with my
point of view the way you cannot. I'm different, So
I'm not afraid of people like getting offended. I'm not
afraid of brands. I'm actually one of those dudes that's like, yo,
that's just smallin I'm grandfather. Then like Chappelle, I'm grandfather.
(14:55):
Then I've been doing it too long. I'm scary.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Movie white chicks don't be a menace in living color.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
We've done some of the most craziest shit, and our
thing has never been to be divisive the way INSes
have always done humor that's been inclusive and everybody could
laugh every now and again. People get sensitive, but I
think the real laugh the changes the world, changes the mood.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I'm trying to bring that spirit back. And I'm never
never gonna back down like that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I'm gonna say these jokes and then and people that
know me and love me understand that. And if you
got a problem, man, man, that's cool too. I ain't
gotta shake your hand, nigga, But I said what I.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Had to say.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
And especial you do say that you're not in therapy,
is that a joke?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I am in therapy.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I do therapy sometimes two times a week, depending on
what bitch get on my nerves. The thing you ever
seen in your whole therapy session talking about somebody everything
be good in your life?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, no, I do. I checked myself.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Some weeks it's like I've a great session, like be
like thirty five minutes long. He was like, yeah, man,
we we ain't got to talk next week. And that's
why I got But some when I was hurting, hurting,
I'd have two therapy sessions a week, sometimes with two
therapists shout.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Out to Delanna, shout out to uh uh uh, what's
the named Rodney?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Doctor doctor Collins? And I think black people people, period,
not just black Latinos.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm black.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, Why you look Dominican to me? I swear I'm god.
Twenty three and me play some South some music. I
bet you ask that.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
We told you I'm black hundred percent. You gotta y'all
want you to do your twenty three and me do
your twenty three in me?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm telling you I'm black.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You look like my nephew, Damian, that nigga Dominican. I'm
telling you Dominican, your bear the same.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I'm serious. When you get older, you're gonna be talking
like you do. You like Bacalau.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Have you ever ate bacolaud. It's the stinkst fish. It's
like the stinkert fish. You get it smells like stripple
pole it is. It's the nastiest fish.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
And if you eat that and you good. But no,
I want to get I want everybody to get back
to laughing. We forgot they're not. Social media has stripped
us of our own personal identities. We're so busy trying
to compete and be everybody else that went understanding that
(17:41):
somebody's programming us. We have no more individualism, we have
no more point of view, and like we gotta have
beefs because we don't realize, like everybody can't think the same.
We live in America, and America you are allowed to
think different. That's the beauty of our country. And so
they're stripping us of that. Now everybody, you can't say that,
(18:03):
You can't say this. You could say whatever the fuck
you want. If you got real friends, they're gonna disagree.
But guess what if we laugh at something. What we
found was something in common. Laughter is bonding. And if
you want to be depressed, look at there's no more
comedies on TV, barely, there's no more comedies in movies.
(18:23):
There's something happening to our society because people think they're sensitive.
Corporations the thing people are sensitive, so they're not letting
comedians do what they do. And it's like, yo, everybody
moved the fuck out the way. Let me do these jokes. Now,
everybody can tell these jokes. Now, I have thirty five
years in the lab. I'm a joke scientist. At this point,
(18:43):
I know what two parts of this and one part
of that or blow up in your face. I know
how to tell these jokes. I've been doing it so
long now I know my next three specials, right. That's
how like I'm dropping this one June fourth, I filmed
it at the Apollo eleven. The next week I went
out and did a brand new hour based off of
(19:06):
and I knew what it was. And I know, like
if I've shot Skittles tomorrow, I know my next hour
after that and the next hour after that. That's how
good I'm getting on this stage. I've done it too long,
so I know how to tell jokes. And that's why
I tell young comedians stay on the road. Stay in
the road, because one day, when you talk to the
networks and you talk to the studios, you got to
be the scientists in the room when they go, you
(19:27):
can't say that, sure I could, I did this joke
at this place.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
To come to this show I'm doing. Come watch how
this show, how this works?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
And then they go, you can't say that, And then
you have to go, well, how about if I said
it like this, And that's how you tell your joke.
You have to It's not about don't tell me I
can't say it, tell me how I can say it.
And I'm just here right now to bring these jokes.
I'm bringing this laughter. People need to laugh, and they
need to laugh at real shit and dark shit and
(19:56):
things that hurt.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And nobody has because I mean in a special and
especially before, I mean, you didn't win at so many
people from Shock to Magic Johnson and I love these guys,
Will Smith, nobody has out of all the people that
you have winned in the last couple of years, nobody
has put stepped up to you or called.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You checked you chin checked, you chest checked you nothing,
and you run into all these people all the time.
They haven't said nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
He might slip through the back.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
That's what I knew that I was on something right,
Like when I did God Loves Me, did a whole
special about Will and Jada. Will did a whole press
too on Bad Boys for Jada, did a whole presstool book.
They talked about everything else. Nobody mentioned Marlin's special. Why
(20:43):
because they know I did it with love. Will and
Jada know me I'm not and Chris Rock know me.
They know I'm not trying to bury body. I don't
have ill intentions. I'm just telling funny truths. You want
me a lie, I'll tell you what happened. And it's
not even about them. Every special I'm doing right now
is about me. You just so happened to be in
my journey. But and here's what happened. But I don't
(21:06):
get that because they know I do it with love.
I'm not doing it to break them down, not doing
it hurt they business.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I'm not doing it. I just just what I see.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Have you spoke to them at all or have you
haven't seen them?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But I don't think Will has a problem with me.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Is he here?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Are you trying to get me jump?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I'm your Martin gonna bite.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Me on my leg? And no, I know like I
just did.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I can't say, but I did bel Air after I
did the special. Yeah, and if Will had a problem,
I would have. He would have did me like it
did I would have been You don't think they would
have something like my place? Goddamn mind click, Jesse Williams.
Woman took my role?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What about family members?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Because in the special you said your mom raised five
comedy legends and a crackhead.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Well that's for the audience. To figure out which one
is the crackhead. Damn, it may be me for all you.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Know the way it probably it probably is.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
No.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
But see that's the thing. I'm an equal. My brother
raised me to be an equal opportunity offender.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
That means everybody gets it, including myself. I'm not afraid
to throw myself under the bus. I'm not afraid to
say that I'm a lesser man. My next special I talk.
It's all I throw myself under a bus. It's crazy,
but it's real and it's funny, and you you realize that. No,
I'm not here to just like hurt people's feelings. That's
(22:39):
punching down. I'm doing punchlines and sometimes you might hit
a person or two. These are punchlines and somebody gonna
be affected by it.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But I got a swing.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's my job.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
You it's like me watching a fight and asking the
box and not to throw punches me. You know you
have you there's there's a fire and you asking fireman
not to go on that building. I gotta go on
that burning building. I got it as a comedian. I
gotta go in there. Why because I'm saving lives. There's
a laughing there that people need, and I'm gonna go
get that. And if I got to burn up in
(23:09):
the process.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hey that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
If I get it canceled, great, But I got to
do my purpose, and my purpose to go get them jokes.
And sometimes the jokes are gonna be on me. But
if y'all sensitive, then I ain't ask them to watch
my special. Nobody, nobody have to tune in. But my
special is on Amazon Prime right now. June fourth just
dropped special number four, well five and four and a
(23:31):
half because I did headliners too, but for an I
just gave four and it's on Amazon Prime, and I
think it's my best work. And what I I just
think the more you do it, the better you get.
The more I release material, because once you do it,
you can't This ain't hip hop. You can't do the
same jokes. You gotta do new shit. So every time
(23:51):
I've released a special makes me dig deeper. So that's
why every I told my brothers about ten years ago,
I said I'm want to drop a special every two years.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
And Damon said, Nigga, they gonna be terrible.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Was like, you're watching that bullshiting was Sean was like,
you're stupid, You're stupid, and we was a Mikonose. I
remember he was in Miko and I was like, I
see something and I think that's what I want to do.
I know my skill set. I know I started stand
up late. I know my skill set as an actor.
I know how to remember ninety pages.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Of a script.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I know how to rehearse for a sitcom and then
three days I have to learn an entire script and
put it on his feet. I think I can do
this where I can. I can write a special and
perform a special and get it done in five months,
six months, and it'll be dope because I know story
and I know character, and I know I know my
voice now. And so they were like you crazy. I said,
(24:49):
I'm gonna do it. And I remember I was mad
and I was sitting in the suv and my brothers
was like crazy and I was like and Damon said, Ugly,
this is me and nickname for me.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
You know, Ugly.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
If you see something, then you do you that's all?
Do you, nigga, show me show me. I was like,
all right, cool. That was the nicest thing Damon ever said.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
And I appreciate it, but I appreciate it's a nice
thing you ever said. And I appreciate him for that
because it was like, Yeah, we all do things our
own way, and even though I came up in this
great family with this legacy, we all have our own
points of view, we all have our own divine timing,
we all have our own way of doing things, and
(25:37):
you just get to a point where you just respect
each other and go all right, if you see it,
then show me. And I'm showing, like this is my
fifth special, fourth special in eight years now.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Charlamagne would say he.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Talked about donk here today. What what did donc say?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He would be like, what are you dealing with that grief?
You know, because the appearance has passed away, it'll be
put the lists on it you and everything is good,
but to doing. But are you dealing with the grief
the right way? You dealt with the grief?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Ha?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Ha.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You can't defend yourself shouting man, that was great, thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, I'm dealing with the grief two therapy sessions a week,
you know, and uh and you know, crying when I
have to, and and you know, I recently did a movie,
a Jordan Peele movie that comes out. It's called him
it's coming out. I can't talk about it right now. Well,
Jordan Peele will kill me like he does people in
horror movies. But I can't talk about it. But it's
(26:39):
a great movie. And justin tipping the directors amazing. Tyreek
Withers kills it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Crewe was insane.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
It looks beautiful. Everything about this movie is like MM
And I'm so blessed as an artist to have this
platform that is my therapy, whether it's telling jokes on
the stage or a lot of times as a comedian,
you take the things that hurt you and you throw
them inside a safe and you don't cry. You go,
(27:07):
what's funny about this? And you hold on to that
and you go on stage you tell these jokes. When
I go do dramas like doing bel Air and doing
him Bro, when I go in there and I open
that safe and I get to release all that pain.
Now my performances many it's come crazy, coming is coming.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Because it's multifaceted and it has depth. Life. Pain has
given me death, and God has given me this platform.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Besides doing the work in therapy, because mental health is important,
people like go to your therapy prayer knowing God like, literally,
when I'm really hurting, I'm really lost. My dad told
me something before he passed. My dad was Joe Witness.
My dad always taught us God. My father was like,
if you ever miss me, or you ever have a question,
(27:57):
I want you to know. I want you to look
in that book. You ever miss me, open up your Bible.
I'm right there. Any question you ever have, go ask God.
If you know my father, you will know your father.
So whenever I'm lost, I opened up that book and
I know, and God is right there, and if you
reach for him, he find you and he takes care
of you. I'm more spiritual now. I pray more now
(28:19):
than I ever prayed before. And it's not because I'm
trying to get in heaven. I'm just so grateful that
I'm still here with all my facilities, because I after
sixty people.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I should have broke down.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I should have been on the freeway, ask naked with
a gun in my hand, with all all over my body,
sliding on cars. Why the oilbody, because that's the image
of me going crazy, this oily ass and slide on
your window.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
My wayne gone.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But that but my point, man, My mother always said,
because she wasn't your winners. My mother was like, yeah, yeah,
it's in the Bible. But God is in every book
and whenever you want to find me, you open any
book and I'm there. And that's my mother Like, now
I can't even read green eggs and ham smell backwards, ma, Yo.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Even in the special, I think that it's I don't
want to give it away, but it's clever.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
How you.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Because your dad is Joel was you know, he was
Joel was nothing. He didn't celebrate and you know, holidays
or birthdays anything like that. But I thought it was
really clever. How you had the joke, you set it
up on Father's Day. How y'all all embraced him and
gave it and that made him shut it's here. And
then your mom like, I don't want to give it away, but.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah, that was so clever.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Just learning to stitch right, learning, learning as you do it,
you get better, as you drop specials and you get
to look at your work wt your tape and go,
I should have did this then, And every time you
do on you get better and the magic starts happening
and you know the elements that you need. Now I'm
sparking the writer in me because I don't like, I
(30:10):
don't even write my jokes.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Down no more.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I don't need to rehearse them. I think about it
and I go, all right, I'm gonna go do that.
When I did the God Loves Me, I seen will
hit Chris and I was like, I'm gonna talk about it.
And I went on stage and I did five minutes
in Oxnart, and after that, I did another five minutes,
and I had six shows that weekend, and by the
(30:33):
time I left Oxnart, I had a twenty minutes of
material and I was like yo.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Within a month, I.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Had a whole hour and a half and I was
like yo, because I just kept doing it on stage.
And it's like jay Z getting in the booth. I
don't need to write it down. I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I know it's in my head.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I hope I don't get the bencher because that'll be
messed up.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I lost all my things.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
And I'm not gonna apologize to anybody who everybody knows
I love them, and everybody knows I grew up in
Hollywood around all these people and they know I love them,
and I'm not doing it to break them down. I'm
doing it to build everybody up and to get these
laughs and everybody that I ever make fun of my flattery,
My mockery is the greatest form of flattery. If I
(31:19):
ever crack a joke about you or mentions because there's
something I like about.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You, or it's something I really hate, nothing need to
say it so I can like you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You gotta get it out now. When did you realize
you were getting old? And I'll tell you when I
realized you were getting old?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
I'm sorry, nigga.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
I never realized I'm getting old. This news to me,
what's going on? I look young as when you did
an interview, look down young on my faces? Good whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You did an interview and you said you're done with
wild crazy sex.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I was like, Baltlin is old.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He's got the point right now, He's like he's getting old.
I'm done, But that the point? What was that point
right there?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Did you get a hamstring pulled?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
I got a bulging disc And I was just like,
I ain't about this circus, love, I ain't doing all that.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I don't need to be up here and I don't
need to do this.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Why I gotta lift your leg all the way up
and put No, let's just sit down top.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I want to, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
I'm got to the point in my life I don't
want to. I literally I really want to Netflix and
chilling like nigga. No, I don't want to fuck now.
I'm not calling you over for that. I want to
watch the movie. I don't want you to touch my penis.
I just want to sleep.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
And is that good? Let's talk about the movie till
I go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
But I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't want to do all that. Yeah, I don't
need to. I did it. I did it. I could
do that like once a month, have a great session,
but not everything. Just come on. I got my blood
and my body got other things to do and to
make my dick hard. It just does. I'm sorry, and
that's okay. I'm not to look.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'm at the point where I want to cut the.

Look it is.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
I'm sorry, just like, look at these old niggas. But
you know, you know you old when you like I

Speaker 3 (33:10):
You know what you like here?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
How about this? I'm gonna lay here. I'm gonna keep
the wood right, because I gotta think about keeping this
wood right. You rock out, you nut all right.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Cool boom so that I.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Didn't knowing wrong with that. Some people don't know when
to tap out. You gonna keep looking for young Listen,
you're gonna get to a point where you're gonna be like,
I don't want no young nigga fucking on me. I
want stretching me all out to be damn. I just
want a little quick thing, crack my nuts, smoke my
new port, and go to bed.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yes, and I know you're doing a special on your daughter. Yes, transitioning,
so yeah, yeh yeh yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I'm still confused that myself.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I be like so, but son, I was that in
house because you play too much?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yes, Oh, they know what it is. Play too much.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
They know what it is.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
They know they know what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You never take it serious. I can tell theyby like
I'm transitioning, and I could just you got too many
jokes to be serious.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
They know what it is.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Here's the thing, just like with everybody else, my sense
of humor. Everybody knows I come from a good place.
I'm not trying to bash hurt. I'm not trying to exploit.
I'm not trying to sell tickets because of drama.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm love. Have you ever known me to be and
beef with people? I don't. I don't do all that.
I don't I don't do. I'm I'm love. My'm wired
for love no matter what the situation. I can talk
to people.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
I beef with Charlamagne that only time you try to
get me on Twitter and I got your ass. But
we'll talk about that another day, donkey. No, But I
come I come with love my child. They've been a
part of their dad's love. They know my sacrifice, they
know how hard I work, they know that I would
(35:01):
do anything for them. There's nothing they ever need for
and they just trust me and they know my dad
loves me. And what most important is I support them. Now.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I had a hard week, you know, when this was happening.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
I had one hard week of which I talked about
and that's the next special Skittles that will be out
next year. But right now, check out my special number
four Good Grief on Amazon Prime only.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Right, did your son did you go to him and
ever say like, all right, you know you're going to
my next special?
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (35:35):
No, no, no, they know anything you do. I gotta
I gotta first write or refusal of your life. You
got a first little deal with me. I gotta pay
these bills you like free college, Daddy, gotta pay these
bills cheap. And though they gave me three damn tickets,
shout out lm U.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
My point is.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Why you only gave me two tickets.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Too?
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Why people I would have talked about them on this
radio shows too.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Wow too.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
But it's okay, it's all right.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I learned. Just have an after party afterward and invite
everybody and celebrate. But all these doing.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Any stupid yo. But listen, it's stupid. If you go
to a graduate he is he is, you just don't
know that he may be. I think he's dominicating my
nephew Dominican. He probably related to my nephew. You, him
and Tigger all dominic all the same same nose. I
got the same daddy. I'm all right now, a diplomba
(36:35):
and stupid we go there, Brett, drag all our family
to watch your kids grab some empty people.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
What it could be?
Speaker 4 (36:42):
This I don't even know what this is.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
This is what they're getting. This is sucker. That's what
that you open up? You paid half a million dollars
for nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
You sucker.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
And so I don't care about all them tickets. I
care about the celebration and celebration of life. And that's
what good grief is about the celebration of life on
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
And I had vitamins. That's why I'm sweating.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
God, you know you swear every time you're up here.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Well, normally I'm nervous because this one put me in
a hot seat asking all kind of uncomfortable questions about you,
uncomfortable things, Charlemagne.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
So Charlamage would be like this one more question, damn
yeah right. You know it's so many in your family
that are you know, comedy legends, comedy.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
But thought about going on.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Towar and do like a whole to work flight, you know,
all wall you guys together, like you know, so I
won't come up here, but everybody else we just go
on through and like it could be like a whole
big thing.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
And make a lot of money, and you know it
could be put on Netflix. You have a thought about that,
momy He.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Roastedagne not being here kid of the day. But yeah,
one day I would love to do we me and
Sean and Keendon actually did a tour. We did a
small run and uh we did about maybe twenty cities
and it was the four of us. I would open
do twenty minutes, then Sewn would come on do twenty,
(38:03):
Keenan would come on and do twenty, and then Damon
would close with like twenty five to thirty and we
got fired. And then afterward we all go on the
stage and let the audience ask us questions. And we
got five standard ovations every show because I was like,
I'm gonna go out there and light this up. Y'all
gonna if I gotta start the show off, and I
would get a stand ovation my first twenty and then
(38:25):
Sean would be.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Like, okay, stupid, I'll show you.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
And then Sean would get his standovation, and then Keen
would be like, Okay, what should I do? And then
KEENU get his standovation and Evil Damon, yeah, well, I'm
gonna add ten minutes to this and I'm gonna make
the audience feel like you niggas bomb and then he
would do his and get his stand ovation, and then
we went out and did we should have taped this?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
We should have recorded because it was.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
A classic moment. And then my brothers was like. Damon
was like, I don't like splitting all this money. I
feel like Earth went in fire didn't make me die.
I make more than on this ship.

that the world has slowed down, comedy has slowed down,
and the.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
World needs our point of view to be injected back
into so we could learn to party, learn to live,
learn to laugh again at inappropriate things.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Nothing like the nineties. Nineties.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
We had Lemon Color, we had Martin, we had Wayne's brothers,

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Even though I did cracked the nut I had sex
with true Mama.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But I didn't. I just like to yell embarrassing things.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I never actually I never tried cracking.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
It looks interesting, but it's not for me.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Never tried it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I just you know, it's just something in that drug
that nike a loon niggas want to suck dick. And
I'm like, I don't know if that drug is for me.
I agree, I agree.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
We got this man, I'm good.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
So good grief is out?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
What? All right?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
So when you think of grief, you never think of good?
So what what was your How did you come up
with good grief?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I mean, Charlie Brown fan, you know, and I just
and it's just like I felt like at this point
in my life, a fifty like life, forty seven, life.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Just started getting hard. Just you know, you go through things.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
If you live long enough, you're gonna you go and
see some dark times, Ain't that right, Charlemagne?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Dark time?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
He knows I'm talking about his kin what it used
to be. Anyway, what I'm saying, he ain't here to
defend this.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I'm gonna give you dunky of to day.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Dunk here, a good day goes to Charlemagne to God
for not being here for this interview. And you know,
I love you, brother, but it's wrong for you to
be missing flights. You know better, You know better, get
your ass on the flight and be here when Legends
is in the building and my photo is right there.
All right, So I'm gonna split donkey of the day
(03:00):
Charalamagne because he did put my photo on the wall.
But why you put me looking like lok dog and
why my eyes bugged out like that. I know, like
country rain, here's a my whole thing here, guys, is
what's that talk about?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is good?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Because I wanted to gift people like something like I'm
I think for me as a as as an artist,
I want to be bigger than just like jokes. I
need to give him something that sticks. And I think
life experiences a little bit of lesson and a little
a lot of bit of like God here and there.
(03:37):
People need that right now. And I want to rescue
people because depression is real. And I was battling depression
when I lost fifty seven fifty eight people I loved
in three years, and then I lost my parents. So
I was just say like I couldn't even say the
word like, I couldn't even say, can I curse?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I missed my mama so much. I couldn't even say
the word mother and say motherfucker. I couldn't I talking
about say I'd start crying because I'm that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I was born on her birthday.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
So I realized as I was going through it in
the middle of working on my mother set my father past,
and I was like, wow, let me keep working and
getting through this, and I started finding light and their
experience and the joy of the laughter and what they
taught me and all the jewels and the lessons, and
how grateful I was to be able to even have
my parents for forty seven to fifty years of my life.
(04:31):
And so instead of just grieving where it's misery, I'm
going no, no, no, no. You go through darkness to
find something light. So it's all about your perspective. If
you find jokes, you find laughter, it's healing. So I've
learned to laugh at things that hurt me as soon
as possible. And I think that's where I create from now,
and that's my best art. I'm telling you, like I
(04:53):
feel like these are my best years. When my parents
left me, they left me with something. They left me
with this confidence. Now now I know I always had God,
but now I got wings. I got my mom on
my right, I got my dad on my left, and
now I'm lifting into this place where oh I see it,
I see stand up, I see like in.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Movies I do dramas. I used to have to reach
for tears. I don't have to reach no more. I
got things.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Think about my parents and how much I'm missing and
I cried like like Daniel Klua, I had them get
out tears on.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You last time you were here. I actually, you know,
I think you got the call that he was It was.
It was bad because I remember when you came up.
They were like, well, he just got the call, so
we don't know if he wants to continue with the interview.
And you still continue with the interview.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So I was gonna don't make my money, and I
don't make my money.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
How you just go from sad?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
But I miss your dad, But I got to pay
for your funeral, So not interview. No, I had worse
than that. So he got over that one. The show
must go on the audience as much as they understand.
I don't want to make them understand I'm a pro. Right,
So I got to call my dad died fifteen minutes
(06:06):
before I was going on stage. And it was a
small club. It was Flappers in LA and I was
just kind of working out, getting ready for a bigger show.
And right then and there, I got to call my
dad died and I had two shows. So I was like,
I cried in my car, I took a deep breath,
I did what my dad did when he had hard days.
(06:28):
I talked to God and then I was like, all right,
let's go do this. Because my dad wouldn't want me
to cancel the show. He go, you better make that
money jet And so I honored my parents. I do
the work, and then on stage I let the audience know,
thank y'all for letting me get through this, and broke
down crying. And it's funny, man, when you allow yourself
to be vulnerable on the stage, you don't really know
(06:49):
the audience is love until you're in a bad situation,
and then you feel their support because they come and
that they hold you up, and even if they don't
don't do it physically, the fact that they appreciate you
as an artist and you feel their love. You don't
feel their love sometimes when we're doing well when you're
doing bad. And that that night was only the four
(07:12):
hundred people, But thank you for everybody that held me
up during that that that that night, and it was
a great night. I got two stand ovations and it
wasn't because of the tears. I didn't use the tears
to get the standing ovation. I got stand vasion on
him Joe, because then after it I was like, my
dad is dead.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is it therapy for you?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Because you talk about it a lot in this in
this special Right. And my son who just turned ten
a couple of days ago, Right, he was very close
to his grandmother. He lost his grandmother, So for a birthday,
he was crying, right, And he cries a lot when
he thinks about her.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm not as sensitive as he is, so it gets
to the point where I don't know what to say anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So last night I was like, you're being selfish and
he's crying.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He looks at me, like what because you know if
he wants people look, you're being selfish.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You go, what you mean?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I go?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know if grandma was here, she would be in pain,
to be hurt, Yeah, dementia, I said, Right now, she's
in heaven looking down and she ain't in pain.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So you wanted to come back down.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Here in pain.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you used to give your son a guilt consciences.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
He may never cried against but but.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You know why he loves her so much. Because people parents,
as they get older, right, they get nicer.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I don't know if they trying to work their way
into heaven or what, but they get nice, and my
mom and dad, like your parents and your grandparents, ain't
gonna be as nice to you as they are to
your kids.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You get the sweetest, sweetest version of them. So she
whipped your ass. He didn't. He didn't get noose fankers.
He's like them. I was the best. She gave me candy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
You know what I'm saying. But you know so.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But it's it's good to teach him. Laughter, man, let
him watch the special.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well I would have.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But see, I think you pulled out the A K
forty seven. You're just shooting at everybody like you watch it.
You not scared somebody gonna put you in the face.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I just here's the thing. I only talk about people
that either I could beat up or I know I
could run from.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Shaq can't catch me. Okay can't catch me.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
He can't check he can't.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He can't even catch Charles Barkley or Kenny or Kenny
dismiss and you see his legs.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
You can't be able to catch this, can't he dismissed
legs on backwards? That's my boy.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Every disease, every disease you gave the shock shat got
a good sense of humor.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
He gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Shack. No, he don't know. Nobody understand what he's saying.
But he's my guy, is the first one.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Now that makes your problem.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But I hope I can outrun him.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, I'm in trouble. But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And I talk about magic, right, But what I didn't
put in the Special that I because for timing is
and this is honestly, I say magic is a hero.
I look at magic and I'm like, yo, because let
me tell you something, like the whole special, the theme
of the special, life sometimes deals.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You a really bad hand. You don't always have pocket ass.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Sometimes you got a two out of ten and you
sitting there and you gotta play the rest of your hand.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The rest of your life. And it's not about your cards.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Magic has taught everybody it's not about the cards you
get dealt It's about how you play your hand. That
man is more successful now than he's ever been. I
look at him like a hero. I'm really he is magic,
Like I'm for him to conquer that in front of
our eyes. I think, like that's a hero story. Now,
of course I got these jokes, but the point is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He's a hero. Bro.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You you said he shouldn't be here. You say he
shouldn't be here. He said be Dad, I didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I said someone else.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But I'm telling the joke.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
But like you said, he shouldn't be I didn't say
that like that. I think, right, yeah it was. It
wasn't that like its interpreted my word like that. I
love them, Okay, I do. I love them, But these
are these jokes, man.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I think everybody needs to learn to laugh again, even
at dark stuff. We need to be rescued. They're not
doing comedies. People ain't doing real jokes no more. Everybody
trying to just do this happy fier fuck that. I'm
here for these jokes. And if you got a problem,
then ay man, I'm sorry. Some people are gonna be
offended by your jokes. But if I tell a joke
(11:32):
in ninety nine and a crown full of one thousand
people and nine hundred and ninety nine people laugh, that's
a damn good joke and that one person walk out,
that's a sensitive motherfucker. Now if I tell a joke
and nine hundred and ninety nine people walk out and
one person laughing, you gotta change that joke.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
So for me, I heard a lot of laughs.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
So I'm gonna do them jokes and if somebody's sensitive
then and I get canceled. Great, Canceled me means you
wasn't my fan to begin with. Cancel means you don't
understand my point of view. Cancel mean get your sensitive
ass to fuck away from me, because in't want to
tell my jokes to your ass anyway. I'm trying to
bring back that old school New York stand on the block,
(12:13):
stand on the street corner, talk.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Shit about each other and laugh it through. That's how
we came up.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
We talked shit about each other.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Since when we can't talk shit about each other like
oh you're fat shaming, well, bitch, lose weight period, you
shame shaming.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And look at our society.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Look how bad things have gotten because we ain't keeping
it real no more, because we ain't saying what's on
our mind. Because everybody's sensitive. This next generation is gonna
be a bunch of pussies. I'm not raising my children
like that. I'm raising them a sense of humor because
life is gonna get dark. And if you don't know
how to laugh at inappropriate things, even your childhood. Things
that hurt you the most you gotta learn laugh about
(12:53):
and if you don't, then you have a.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Really long, tough, hard life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But you know, you know why, it's like that a
little bit too right, Like you look at and I'll
bringing to Kendrick and Drake beef right where they going
back and forth and they going they just throwing all
types of shots.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I thought that was that was that was my my
favorite time in hip hop. Like that was like that
was like, Yo, they fighting this though up the block.
That was like we was back in the projects. Yo,
Lakeisha and they about to fight again. She got the vasoline. Yeah,
and they fight and they they become friends again.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But the problem is you got a corporation that'll be like,
oh he said he's a pedophile. We have to we
can't endorse him anymore. But like you said, it's jokes,
and that's how these corporations take it. They don't take
him as funny no more, well they are.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
That's when they were just going at each other hard.
It was a lot like you going there and you're
gonna talk to me about magic. Everything is jokes. Everything
is jokes. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This whole beef between them they'll get over it. And corporations, yes, corporations.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
But here's the thing, I ain't got no, no, no,
I ain't got no brands slapped on this Nascar.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'm blank. I don't have association with brands and things
like that associated with people with my brand that want
to be in business with me.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
From my point of view that I've developed over a
fifty year fifty two year lifetime and over a thirty
four year span in this industry, I've done sketch, I've
done sitcom, I've written, produced, started multiple movies.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And franchises, and I have a point of view.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now, if you want to be associated with me, it's
because you know I can sell your product with my
point of view the way you cannot. I'm different, So
I'm not afraid of people like getting offended. I'm not
afraid of brands. I'm actually one of those dudes that's like, yo,
that's just smallin I'm grandfather. Then like Chappelle, I'm grandfather.
(14:55):
Then I've been doing it too long. I'm scary.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Movie white chicks don't be a menace in living color.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
We've done some of the most craziest shit, and our
thing has never been to be divisive the way INSes
have always done humor that's been inclusive and everybody could
laugh every now and again. People get sensitive, but I
think the real laugh the changes the world, changes the mood.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I'm trying to bring that spirit back. And I'm never
never gonna back down like that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I'm gonna say these jokes and then and people that
know me and love me understand that. And if you
got a problem, man, man, that's cool too. I ain't
gotta shake your hand, nigga, But I said what I.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Had to say.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
And especial you do say that you're not in therapy,
is that a joke?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I am in therapy.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I do therapy sometimes two times a week, depending on
what bitch get on my nerves. The thing you ever
seen in your whole therapy session talking about somebody everything
be good in your life?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, no, I do. I checked myself.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Some weeks it's like I've a great session, like be
like thirty five minutes long. He was like, yeah, man,
we we ain't got to talk next week. And that's
why I got But some when I was hurting, hurting,
I'd have two therapy sessions a week, sometimes with two
therapists shout.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Out to Delanna, shout out to uh uh uh, what's
the named Rodney?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Doctor doctor Collins? And I think black people people, period,
not just black Latinos.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm black.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, Why you look Dominican to me? I swear I'm god.
Twenty three and me play some South some music. I
bet you ask that.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
We told you I'm black hundred percent. You gotta y'all
want you to do your twenty three and me do
your twenty three in me?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm telling you I'm black.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You look like my nephew, Damian, that nigga Dominican. I'm
telling you Dominican, your bear the same.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I'm serious. When you get older, you're gonna be talking
like you do. You like Bacalau.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Have you ever ate bacolaud. It's the stinkst fish. It's
like the stinkert fish. You get it smells like stripple
pole it is. It's the nastiest fish.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
And if you eat that and you good. But no,
I want to get I want everybody to get back
to laughing. We forgot they're not. Social media has stripped
us of our own personal identities. We're so busy trying
to compete and be everybody else that went understanding that
(17:41):
somebody's programming us. We have no more individualism, we have
no more point of view, and like we gotta have
beefs because we don't realize, like everybody can't think the same.
We live in America, and America you are allowed to
think different. That's the beauty of our country. And so
they're stripping us of that. Now everybody, you can't say that,
(18:03):
You can't say this. You could say whatever the fuck
you want. If you got real friends, they're gonna disagree.
But guess what if we laugh at something. What we
found was something in common. Laughter is bonding. And if
you want to be depressed, look at there's no more
comedies on TV, barely, there's no more comedies in movies.
(18:23):
There's something happening to our society because people think they're sensitive.
Corporations the thing people are sensitive, so they're not letting
comedians do what they do. And it's like, yo, everybody
moved the fuck out the way. Let me do these jokes. Now,
everybody can tell these jokes. Now, I have thirty five
years in the lab. I'm a joke scientist. At this point,
(18:43):
I know what two parts of this and one part
of that or blow up in your face. I know
how to tell these jokes. I've been doing it so
long now I know my next three specials, right. That's
how like I'm dropping this one June fourth, I filmed
it at the Apollo eleven. The next week I went
out and did a brand new hour based off of
(19:06):
and I knew what it was. And I know, like
if I've shot Skittles tomorrow, I know my next hour
after that and the next hour after that. That's how
good I'm getting on this stage. I've done it too long,
so I know how to tell jokes. And that's why
I tell young comedians stay on the road. Stay in
the road, because one day, when you talk to the
networks and you talk to the studios, you got to
be the scientists in the room when they go, you
(19:27):
can't say that, sure I could, I did this joke
at this place.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
To come to this show I'm doing. Come watch how
this show, how this works?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
And then they go, you can't say that, And then
you have to go, well, how about if I said
it like this, And that's how you tell your joke.
You have to It's not about don't tell me I
can't say it, tell me how I can say it.
And I'm just here right now to bring these jokes.
I'm bringing this laughter. People need to laugh, and they
need to laugh at real shit and dark shit and
(19:56):
things that hurt.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And nobody has because I mean in a special and
especially before, I mean, you didn't win at so many
people from Shock to Magic Johnson and I love these guys,
Will Smith, nobody has out of all the people that
you have winned in the last couple of years, nobody
has put stepped up to you or called.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You checked you chin checked, you chest checked you nothing,
and you run into all these people all the time.
They haven't said nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
He might slip through the back.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
That's what I knew that I was on something right,
Like when I did God Loves Me, did a whole
special about Will and Jada. Will did a whole press
too on Bad Boys for Jada, did a whole presstool book.
They talked about everything else. Nobody mentioned Marlin's special. Why
(20:43):
because they know I did it with love. Will and
Jada know me I'm not and Chris Rock know me.
They know I'm not trying to bury body. I don't
have ill intentions. I'm just telling funny truths. You want
me a lie, I'll tell you what happened. And it's
not even about them. Every special I'm doing right now
is about me. You just so happened to be in
my journey. But and here's what happened. But I don't
(21:06):
get that because they know I do it with love.
I'm not doing it to break them down, not doing
it hurt they business.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I'm not doing it. I just just what I see.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Have you spoke to them at all or have you
haven't seen them?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But I don't think Will has a problem with me.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Is he here?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Are you trying to get me jump?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I'm your Martin gonna bite.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Me on my leg? And no, I know like I
just did.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I can't say, but I did bel Air after I
did the special. Yeah, and if Will had a problem,
I would have. He would have did me like it
did I would have been You don't think they would
have something like my place? Goddamn mind click, Jesse Williams.
Woman took my role?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What about family members?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Because in the special you said your mom raised five
comedy legends and a crackhead.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Well that's for the audience. To figure out which one
is the crackhead. Damn, it may be me for all you.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Know the way it probably it probably is.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
No.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
But see that's the thing. I'm an equal. My brother
raised me to be an equal opportunity offender.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
That means everybody gets it, including myself. I'm not afraid
to throw myself under the bus. I'm not afraid to
say that I'm a lesser man. My next special I talk.
It's all I throw myself under a bus. It's crazy,
but it's real and it's funny, and you you realize that. No,
I'm not here to just like hurt people's feelings. That's
(22:39):
punching down. I'm doing punchlines and sometimes you might hit
a person or two. These are punchlines and somebody gonna
be affected by it.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But I got a swing.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's my job.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
You it's like me watching a fight and asking the
box and not to throw punches me. You know you
have you there's there's a fire and you asking fireman
not to go on that building. I gotta go on
that burning building. I got it as a comedian. I
gotta go in there. Why because I'm saving lives. There's
a laughing there that people need, and I'm gonna go
get that. And if I got to burn up in
(23:09):
the process.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hey that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
If I get it canceled, great, But I got to
do my purpose, and my purpose to go get them jokes.
And sometimes the jokes are gonna be on me. But
if y'all sensitive, then I ain't ask them to watch
my special. Nobody, nobody have to tune in. But my
special is on Amazon Prime right now. June fourth just
dropped special number four, well five and four and a
(23:31):
half because I did headliners too, but for an I
just gave four and it's on Amazon Prime, and I
think it's my best work. And what I I just
think the more you do it, the better you get.
The more I release material, because once you do it,
you can't This ain't hip hop. You can't do the
same jokes. You gotta do new shit. So every time
(23:51):
I've released a special makes me dig deeper. So that's
why every I told my brothers about ten years ago,
I said I'm want to drop a special every two years.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
And Damon said, Nigga, they gonna be terrible.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Was like, you're watching that bullshiting was Sean was like,
you're stupid, You're stupid, and we was a Mikonose. I
remember he was in Miko and I was like, I
see something and I think that's what I want to do.
I know my skill set. I know I started stand
up late. I know my skill set as an actor.
I know how to remember ninety pages.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Of a script.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I know how to rehearse for a sitcom and then
three days I have to learn an entire script and
put it on his feet. I think I can do
this where I can. I can write a special and
perform a special and get it done in five months,
six months, and it'll be dope because I know story
and I know character, and I know I know my
voice now. And so they were like you crazy. I said,
(24:49):
I'm gonna do it. And I remember I was mad
and I was sitting in the suv and my brothers
was like crazy and I was like and Damon said, Ugly,
this is me and nickname for me.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
You know, Ugly.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
If you see something, then you do you that's all?
Do you, nigga, show me show me. I was like,
all right, cool. That was the nicest thing Damon ever said.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
And I appreciate it, but I appreciate it's a nice
thing you ever said. And I appreciate him for that
because it was like, Yeah, we all do things our
own way, and even though I came up in this
great family with this legacy, we all have our own
points of view, we all have our own divine timing,
we all have our own way of doing things, and
(25:37):
you just get to a point where you just respect
each other and go all right, if you see it,
then show me. And I'm showing, like this is my
fifth special, fourth special in eight years now.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Charlamagne would say he.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Talked about donk here today. What what did donc say?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He would be like, what are you dealing with that grief?
You know, because the appearance has passed away, it'll be
put the lists on it you and everything is good,
but to doing. But are you dealing with the grief
the right way? You dealt with the grief?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Ha?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Ha.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You can't defend yourself shouting man, that was great, thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, I'm dealing with the grief two therapy sessions a week,
you know, and uh and you know, crying when I
have to, and and you know, I recently did a movie,
a Jordan Peele movie that comes out. It's called him
it's coming out. I can't talk about it right now. Well,
Jordan Peele will kill me like he does people in
horror movies. But I can't talk about it. But it's
(26:39):
a great movie. And justin tipping the directors amazing. Tyreek
Withers kills it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Crewe was insane.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
It looks beautiful. Everything about this movie is like MM
And I'm so blessed as an artist to have this
platform that is my therapy, whether it's telling jokes on
the stage or a lot of times as a comedian,
you take the things that hurt you and you throw
them inside a safe and you don't cry. You go,
(27:07):
what's funny about this? And you hold on to that
and you go on stage you tell these jokes. When
I go do dramas like doing bel Air and doing
him Bro, when I go in there and I open
that safe and I get to release all that pain.
Now my performances many it's come crazy, coming is coming.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Because it's multifaceted and it has depth. Life. Pain has
given me death, and God has given me this platform.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Besides doing the work in therapy, because mental health is important,
people like go to your therapy prayer knowing God like, literally,
when I'm really hurting, I'm really lost. My dad told
me something before he passed. My dad was Joe Witness.
My dad always taught us God. My father was like,
if you ever miss me, or you ever have a question,
(27:57):
I want you to know. I want you to look
in that book. You ever miss me, open up your Bible.
I'm right there. Any question you ever have, go ask God.
If you know my father, you will know your father.
So whenever I'm lost, I opened up that book and
I know, and God is right there, and if you
reach for him, he find you and he takes care
of you. I'm more spiritual now. I pray more now
(28:19):
than I ever prayed before. And it's not because I'm
trying to get in heaven. I'm just so grateful that
I'm still here with all my facilities, because I after
sixty people.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I should have broke down.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I should have been on the freeway, ask naked with
a gun in my hand, with all all over my body,
sliding on cars. Why the oilbody, because that's the image
of me going crazy, this oily ass and slide on
your window.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
My wayne gone.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But that but my point, man, My mother always said,
because she wasn't your winners. My mother was like, yeah, yeah,
it's in the Bible. But God is in every book
and whenever you want to find me, you open any
book and I'm there. And that's my mother Like, now
I can't even read green eggs and ham smell backwards, ma, Yo.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Even in the special, I think that it's I don't
want to give it away, but it's clever.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
How you.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Because your dad is Joel was you know, he was
Joel was nothing. He didn't celebrate and you know, holidays
or birthdays anything like that. But I thought it was
really clever. How you had the joke, you set it
up on Father's Day. How y'all all embraced him and
gave it and that made him shut it's here. And
then your mom like, I don't want to give it away, but.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah, that was so clever.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Just learning to stitch right, learning, learning as you do it,
you get better, as you drop specials and you get
to look at your work wt your tape and go,
I should have did this then, And every time you
do on you get better and the magic starts happening
and you know the elements that you need. Now I'm
sparking the writer in me because I don't like, I
(30:10):
don't even write my jokes.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Down no more.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I don't need to rehearse them. I think about it
and I go, all right, I'm gonna go do that.
When I did the God Loves Me, I seen will
hit Chris and I was like, I'm gonna talk about it.
And I went on stage and I did five minutes
in Oxnart, and after that, I did another five minutes,
and I had six shows that weekend, and by the
(30:33):
time I left Oxnart, I had a twenty minutes of
material and I was like yo.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Within a month, I.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Had a whole hour and a half and I was
like yo, because I just kept doing it on stage.
And it's like jay Z getting in the booth. I
don't need to write it down. I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I know it's in my head.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I hope I don't get the bencher because that'll be
messed up.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I lost all my things.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
And I'm not gonna apologize to anybody who everybody knows
I love them, and everybody knows I grew up in
Hollywood around all these people and they know I love them,
and I'm not doing it to break them down. I'm
doing it to build everybody up and to get these
laughs and everybody that I ever make fun of my flattery,
My mockery is the greatest form of flattery. If I
(31:19):
ever crack a joke about you or mentions because there's
something I like about.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You, or it's something I really hate, nothing need to
say it so I can like you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You gotta get it out now. When did you realize
you were getting old? And I'll tell you when I
realized you were getting old?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
I'm sorry, nigga.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
I never realized I'm getting old. This news to me,
what's going on? I look young as when you did
an interview, look down young on my faces? Good whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You did an interview and you said you're done with
wild crazy sex.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I was like, Baltlin is old.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He's got the point right now, He's like he's getting old.
I'm done, But that the point? What was that point
right there?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Did you get a hamstring pulled?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
I got a bulging disc And I was just like,
I ain't about this circus, love, I ain't doing all that.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I don't need to be up here and I don't
need to do this.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Why I gotta lift your leg all the way up
and put No, let's just sit down top.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I want to, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
I'm got to the point in my life I don't
want to. I literally I really want to Netflix and
chilling like nigga. No, I don't want to fuck now.
I'm not calling you over for that. I want to
watch the movie. I don't want you to touch my penis.
I just want to sleep.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
And is that good? Let's talk about the movie till
I go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
But I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't want to do all that. Yeah, I don't
need to. I did it. I did it. I could
do that like once a month, have a great session,
but not everything. Just come on. I got my blood
and my body got other things to do and to
make my dick hard. It just does. I'm sorry, and
that's okay. I'm not to look.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'm at the point where I want to cut the.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Look it is.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
I'm sorry, just like, look at these old niggas. But
you know, you know you old when you like I
like her on top way more than me on top.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
You know what you like here?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
How about this? I'm gonna lay here. I'm gonna keep
the wood right, because I gotta think about keeping this
wood right. You rock out, you nut all right.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Cool boom so that I.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Didn't knowing wrong with that. Some people don't know when
to tap out. You gonna keep looking for young Listen,
you're gonna get to a point where you're gonna be like,
I don't want no young nigga fucking on me. I
want stretching me all out to be damn. I just
want a little quick thing, crack my nuts, smoke my
new port, and go to bed.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yes, and I know you're doing a special on your daughter. Yes, transitioning,
so yeah, yeh yeh yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I'm still confused that myself.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I be like so, but son, I was that in
house because you play too much?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yes, Oh, they know what it is. Play too much.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
They know what it is.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
They know they know what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You never take it serious. I can tell theyby like
I'm transitioning, and I could just you got too many
jokes to be serious.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
They know what it is.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Here's the thing, just like with everybody else, my sense
of humor. Everybody knows I come from a good place.
I'm not trying to bash hurt. I'm not trying to exploit.
I'm not trying to sell tickets because of drama.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm love. Have you ever known me to be and
beef with people? I don't. I don't do all that.
I don't I don't do. I'm I'm love. My'm wired
for love no matter what the situation. I can talk
to people.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
I beef with Charlamagne that only time you try to
get me on Twitter and I got your ass. But
we'll talk about that another day, donkey. No, But I
come I come with love my child. They've been a
part of their dad's love. They know my sacrifice, they
know how hard I work, they know that I would
(35:01):
do anything for them. There's nothing they ever need for
and they just trust me and they know my dad
loves me. And what most important is I support them. Now.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I had a hard week, you know, when this was happening.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
I had one hard week of which I talked about
and that's the next special Skittles that will be out
next year. But right now, check out my special number
four Good Grief on Amazon Prime only.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Right, did your son did you go to him and
ever say like, all right, you know you're going to
my next special?
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (35:35):
No, no, no, they know anything you do. I gotta
I gotta first write or refusal of your life. You
got a first little deal with me. I gotta pay
these bills you like free college, Daddy, gotta pay these
bills cheap. And though they gave me three damn tickets,
shout out lm U.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
My point is.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Why you only gave me two tickets.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Too?
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Why people I would have talked about them on this
radio shows too.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Wow too.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
But it's okay, it's all right.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I learned. Just have an after party afterward and invite
everybody and celebrate. But all these doing.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Any stupid yo. But listen, it's stupid. If you go
to a graduate he is he is, you just don't
know that he may be. I think he's dominicating my
nephew Dominican. He probably related to my nephew. You, him
and Tigger all dominic all the same same nose. I
got the same daddy. I'm all right now, a diplomba
(36:35):
and stupid we go there, Brett, drag all our family
to watch your kids grab some empty people.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
What it could be?
Speaker 4 (36:42):
This I don't even know what this is.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
This is what they're getting. This is sucker. That's what
that you open up? You paid half a million dollars
for nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
You sucker.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
And so I don't care about all them tickets. I
care about the celebration and celebration of life. And that's
what good grief is about the celebration of life on
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
And I had vitamins. That's why I'm sweating.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
God, you know you swear every time you're up here.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Well, normally I'm nervous because this one put me in
a hot seat asking all kind of uncomfortable questions about you,
uncomfortable things, Charlemagne.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
So Charlamage would be like this one more question, damn
yeah right. You know it's so many in your family
that are you know, comedy legends, comedy.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
But thought about going on.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Towar and do like a whole to work flight, you know,
all wall you guys together, like you know, so I
won't come up here, but everybody else we just go
on through and like it could be like a whole
big thing.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
And make a lot of money, and you know it
could be put on Netflix. You have a thought about that,
momy He.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Roastedagne not being here kid of the day. But yeah,
one day I would love to do we me and
Sean and Keendon actually did a tour. We did a
small run and uh we did about maybe twenty cities
and it was the four of us. I would open
do twenty minutes, then Sewn would come on do twenty,
(38:03):
Keenan would come on and do twenty, and then Damon
would close with like twenty five to thirty and we
got fired. And then afterward we all go on the
stage and let the audience ask us questions. And we
got five standard ovations every show because I was like,
I'm gonna go out there and light this up. Y'all
gonna if I gotta start the show off, and I
would get a stand ovation my first twenty and then
(38:25):
Sean would be.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Like, okay, stupid, I'll show you.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
And then Sean would get his standovation, and then Keen
would be like, Okay, what should I do? And then
KEENU get his standovation and Evil Damon, yeah, well, I'm
gonna add ten minutes to this and I'm gonna make
the audience feel like you niggas bomb and then he
would do his and get his stand ovation, and then
we went out and did we should have taped this?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
We should have recorded because it was.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
A classic moment. And then my brothers was like. Damon
was like, I don't like splitting all this money. I
feel like Earth went in fire didn't make me die.
I make more than on this ship.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
I'm out. And Damon left and then Kanan was like,
to much traveling from me, I'm gonna go get getting
my deck. Took somewhere.

it's not like everybody's like now it's time to We're
(39:30):

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Y'all about to see that because the world. I realized
that the world has slowed down, comedy has slowed down,
and the.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
World needs our point of view to be injected back
into so we could learn to party, learn to live,
learn to laugh again at inappropriate things.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Nothing like the nineties. Nineties.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
We had Lemon Color, we had Martin, we had Wayne's brothers,
we had Fresh Prints. Everybody was making fun of everything.
And we was having a lot of fucking fun, and
