Speaker 1 (00:23):
What's happening? How you feeling? I'm good. I wore a
hat just in case I started sweating, and I bought
a wash club for some reason. You always sweat when
I'm on this show, and I'm tired of people going,
why are you sweating like that? Are you on cracking?
I'm like, no, I quit crack in the eighties. The
thing about it now is I just have vitamins. That's all.
That's why we have as how to ask questions. And
(00:45):
why me looking like look dog? Why could I just
be regular? Marlin?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I mean, that's the artist drew it up there.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Let me shut up, me not complain because I was
I was on you for a while you got Will Smill,
you ain't got Martin and se Gear. You got me.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Justin decided to draw it, and he drew it based
off how people be on the show.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
You've never been on the show in that character. I
don't know why he did that to be.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That nigga was high when he drew watching don't be amazed, like, Yo,
I'm gonna do this like this.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
The funny thing is, we said Marlin looked like a rapper.
Don't know rappers love the stage like Marlon this nigga
don't want to be comedy tour right now?
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yeah, no, you know what I do. Kind of hate
my hospital.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But the thing is, I just love working. I've always
loved working, and finally I got something I love to do,
and I'm getting better and I just go the more
time I stay on the stage, and I think because
I started late, it's not like I'm tired of it yet.
Right So most most of the time, I'm like dyslexic
with life in my career. Like He's supposed to start
out doing stand up. I started out writing and producing
(01:50):
and creating, creating my TV show and I Wayne's Brothers
when I was like twenty, you know, writing and producing
my own movies, from with my brothers, from Don't Be
a Minis the Scary Movie, and you know, doing my
own stuff Harnt the House. And then at thirty nine,
I was like, yeah, I think I'm gonna take stand
up serious and I'm gonna go do stand up. And
everybody's like, why the fuck would you do that? Now
you already made it, and I was like, because I
(02:12):
think there's more to get. I think I could be better.
I've been a star for twenty something years. I want
to be I want to be a superstar, and the
only way to get this is just doing the work.
So I just started doing stand.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Up and you had your fourth Remember one time you
came here, you said you had four specials. Planner's gonna
be God Loves Me, Good Grief. Now you're doing the
Wild Child, though it says wild Child.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The third and no, because I'd been my first two
already was it was the first one was focused, second
one was you know what it is. It was on
HBO Max, third one was God Loves Me, the fourth
one Good Grief. And between that I had the headliners,
which was me and my boys, Sydney Castillo, Tony Baker,
DC Irvin shout out to all my people, Saul McGrath.
(02:52):
And then now I'm working on the wild Child tour.
But I probably named this one Skittles, and I'm ready
to film this like now it's a tight it's the
more I keep doing it. Now, I got like two hours.
Now I gotta shut the fuck up. I'm doing too
much because I can't stay on something too long. Because
I started Ruberk's cubing it and then before you know it,
I have two three hours and that's really hard to
cut down to an hour. So I want to hurry
(03:14):
up and do it so I could I know my
next three So for me, I'm I'm I want to
get this done and retire it, so I could, you know,
clear the canvas and paying something new.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
This taste the rainbow. You're really about to just say fun?
It you really last time?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, it's it's kind of to my uh, to my
my trans child.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Shut your ass right up.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Tell everybody, everybody will giving you triple down.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't, I don't, I don't believe in No, you
want to start this, We're gonna were gonna keep going.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
We don't we don't keep on going.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, I'm gonna keep on We're gonna keep on digging. No,
you started it, so you know. But it's it's not
even about them. It's really about me in my transition
as a human. I throw myself under the bus because
I wasn't with the shits.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I wasn't like, yeah, this is great.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
When they first, you know, decided to go down this road,
I was against it because I'm like, yo, you're not
looking at life. You know, you're doing this now in
your youth. You may regret this when you like forty
five and you have a kid and you ain't got
no ditties to breastfeed this nigga with Jesus Christy. So
(04:27):
you know, as a parent, I was like, you know, protesting.
But at the same time, I went through this journey
from ignorance and defiance to complete acceptance. And I just
think a lot of people need to hear the truth
from hear a story. I tell funny truths, things that
you know hurt me or things that you know.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I'm imperfect and.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I'm not all the way you know there, I don't
always have the right answers, But I think it's good
to be human and be human on the stage because
when you talk about truth, now you're not just telling jokes.
Now you're actually healing the people in the audience. I
got people coming up with me after my show. I
was crying like, oh my thigh. And they did it
with good grief, and they're doing it now with the
Wild Chiut Tour. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Does your son get offended that your son said Dad? Enough?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like this is You've been on the breakfast lip twice
talking about it. You've been talking like enough is that?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh they tired of my shit? But see you like
your college paid for? So what I I gotta do
is I gotta talk about things. I'm sorry, baby, you
know da dad gonna do what he do.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
You know, it's a beautiful thing about art. If you
try to tweet or even probably explain what you just
explained in an interview and then get mad at you,
they probably try to cancel you. But if you do
it on stage in a packaged way, it'll make more.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Sense because it's your forum and you get to really
unpack your truth. It's I look at the stages, it's
a therapy session, except instead of paying a therapist, two
hundred dollars to, you know, to express myself. I got
these jackasses paying fifty five hours come see me perform.
And I'm like, y'all understand, I'm in therapy right now
(05:55):
and the audience has been my therapist.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
And when I hear their laughter, I find the answers.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And you know, I'm just really grateful that God gave
me this, this this career and this this thing called
stand up and this thing called art because I always
take my broken heart and make art and I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I always wanted to know with your son, did you
have to sit down and say, okay, well, explain it
to me?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Break it down?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Because we come from a different place where jokes as jokes.
Did you have to sit down and play explain what
you want me to say, what you want me to
call you, how you feel this, that and the other?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Did you have to go through that?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It was so damn confusing because you know, they started
with pronouns, and I'm like, look, I went to public
school in New York City.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I don't know no pronouns.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I know nows and verbs. That's all they taught us,
you know what I mean. So they broke it down
and all this, and it's just it's too much. And
then I got to change from calling them she to
now he and they, and I'm like, they, this is
two of you.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
What's what's I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
My god, I'm I'm just so confused. But they took
me through the tutorial. And you know they know that
sometimes I still because you know, for twenty three years
you with her and now they and they give me
grace because they know you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Know, okay, but you know they know he knows you
still love them.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They know I love them, They know I love him.
I'll fight, I'll die for them, no matter what, don't matter.
You know that's my child, you know what I mean.
And I think all parents should defend and pull up
for their children. You know that's my child and I
want them to be happin And if that makes them happy,
I'm happy for him.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
We saw you come to Boosey's defense when the back
and forth what's happening online with his daughter? Have you
guys spoken? I do other parents call you because you're
very open about your journey.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I frea see people fried me up for coming to
his defense, but I wasn't coming to his defense, I'm
telling people, hey, man, y'all mind your fucking business and
let families work out they shit. That's private between him
and his daughter, and they don't need your fuel.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
They don't need my fuel.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I'm telling you, when you're ironing out your personal problems,
that's between him and his daughter. And everybody got something
the fuck to say. That's why I don't like about
social media. That man is dealing with his child and
they need to express themselves and hold space. We live
in a society where we're unforgiving and all we do
is add fuel to fires and watch it burn and applaud.
(08:16):
And I'm just like, yo, let them. Let that man
hold space. It takes him time. When it first happened
to me, it took me time. You can't expect somebody
to instant be like I accept everything. It takes time.
And God has his way of talking to each and
every one of us. We all gonna have our sit
(08:37):
down with God. I had mine, you know, and he
will have his and our hold space that that man
changes his point of view and that him and his
child come together and love each other like any black
father and black daughter or white or daughter father, period
that's what I want, and people I don't get fucking
oh you should be saying, shot the fuck up. I'm
not gonna defend myself with one hundred and fifty characters
(08:59):
or whatever it is now on X give a fuck.
I said what I said. I stand by Now let
it go. I hold space for that man and his
daughter to come together as a family and figure that
shit out the way me and my child came together
as a family and we figured our shit out. People
need the space to have those honest conversations. I agree
with that.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
But I agree with that. But you and your child
didn't work it out through social media.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, we didn't. Interview was talking because my child been
on followed me.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Then his child replied the interview he did. That's the
problem I'd be having, Like, don't.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Tell your personal business in these interviews if you don't
want the world to have an opinion about it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, but you know, and that's to their fault. That's
that's that that was something. But they figured it out,
and you know, as they should. But I just hold
space and hold space for prayer and hold space within
myself that people can grow up, that people can change.
Every person should have the opportunity to change, even brothers
(09:56):
that are in prison. There's a reason why there's prison.
It's time for you to sit and time out and
have conversations with God and reform. But when they come out,
we should applaud them for the time they did. They
did the time. Now let's hold space that they're better people.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Now, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Oh shit, I don't got myself in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You said in prison.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'm just curious. How many times have people asked you,
have you ever been to a diddy party?
Speaker 8 (10:20):
They pulled up that tweet?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
What the fuck they gotta do a prison?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He made me think about it.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I've seen the baby behind you just made me think
about it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
You do have a baby on all right.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So here's the thing. I've been to ten fifteen. I
know Puff since he was Puff, I knew. We went
to college together, So I went to Howard. I always
always wanted to go to Ditty party. He s at
the hottest parties in DC. I was too young to
get into those. But when I got to LA and
throughout the years the nineties, come on, man, I'm biggie
and I've been around a long time. And I will
(10:52):
say this, I've never I've been to maybe ten fifteen
some of this house.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I've never seen shit. I have never you put a
lot of debt to test on me.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When they're like, oh well this video is great, showed
me you're gonna see me sipping some rock and maybe
pushing the deli on to the sides. That shit too strong.
But he's a little shit. You gott put a little
you gotta put a little so rock in your debly
on and uh, but you know, I've never seen any
(11:20):
of the stuff that they say happened. I've never been
to a freak off. That's just not and that's just
not my vibes. That's not Wayne's vibes. Beyond that, I
gotta honor. I go to a party or whatever. But
I always got my mother, my father and God, and
you can be around things and go, yeah, this this
ain't for me. That's just never been my vibe. I
(11:41):
don't get off. I don't even like watching porn with BBC. No,
I want mine Dick to be the only BBC in
the room. We could watch some ladies perform, sure, but
I mean now and then you come across that one
brother and his shit. It's so big, and you go, God,
damn it, dick shouldn't be that big. Don't that shit hurt?
Even trying to make a feel That's ridiculous, all that dick.
(12:02):
That's even Asian poet. Because I know my dick is
bigger than these. I'm gonna get in trouble. That was shaming.
That was dick shaming. I want to polish.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
When you hear these stories and you know they be
tragic stories, you hope that none of this, you hope
it's not true.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But you got to listen to the you know, the
alleged victims.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yes, you got me sweating.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Damn.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
He knew he's starting stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I didn't. Man, it's winter time outside. Man, you ask
like it's thirty degrees out. You know. I like my
fall clothes.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
How you know I get to I get to floss
and show off fly ship. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I wait all year for fault.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Did you have jokes immediately? Like when you read some
of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
A billion of them? I heard puff up. I said, man,
I got some jokes for you. I'm not sure you
want to hear him right? When he respond O listen,
I hear him I've known these guys my whole life.
I've been growing up in Hollywood. When it happened to
Russell Simmons, I'm the wrong dude. I hit a nigga
on his first day. I hear Russell Simmons and I said, hey, nigga.
(13:00):
It was like, after all these allegations came out, I said, hey, nigga,
you having a terrible week to this day, Russell hit
me from BALI in some weird stressed position. That's still
one of the funny things I ever heard. So yeah,
I hit them up on their worst day, you know.
And I whold prayer, you know, for because I know
(13:21):
the kids, and I'm just like and I'm not excusing
any of those actions. I saw the Cassi tape. That
hurt my feeling, and it hurt my feelings to see
a black man do that to any woman, or any
man do that to woman.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I wasn't raised like that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But as much as I see that video and I
heard for her, you know, there's a part of me,
and that's what I mean, hold space. There's a part
of me that hurts for that little boy in there
that was taught that kind of toxic behavior. And I
pray that he heard, he heals. I pray that he
like he's sitting with God right now. I don't need
to throw that man under a bus. God is talking
(13:57):
to puff right now, and that's between God and him,
and whatever happens happens, and that's between him and God.
But I'm gonna pray for those kids. I'm gonna pay
for the family. I'm not gonna act like stuff didn't happen.
And I ain't gonna act like Nigga ain't got no jokes.
I got some wonderful jokes that I got in my show.
Oh everybody got a baby old joke. He got a
(14:17):
thousand bottles. I'm on my way to Vegas, I mean
the Atlantic City. It's gonna be a car ride, thousand
bottles of baby all on the water. But everybody got jokes,
and he know what it is, and the kids know
what it is. But you know, I don't want to
kick him in when he's down. And I think, like
I said, man, I know, I know that family, and
(14:39):
I pray for more.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know, you know also to man that the thing
I love about comedians.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Comedians say things and have conversations that everybody do be
thinking I saw you on Shacks podcasts.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Okay, but I do now Shack podcast you talk about
he don't be behaving. You talked about a joke that
you didn't want to say.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Which one the Oh no, you ain't gonna get me
to say that shit. I just said that Magic Johnson
had the good age. What age did you get if
you lived fifty years? I want those ages. You've become
a billionaire with age. Give me those age. What kind
of aige is this? Financial aids?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
All of us have had that conversation amongst each other.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You see the judgment over here. Listen, he said.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
That I just don't everybody observation.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Everybody talks about it. And here's the thing. Either you're
gonna get bad about a joke or you ain't. And
if you get mad, you fucking leave. I'm not gonna
retract statements. I'm not gonna retract jokes. They are jokes.
If I didn't go in these dark caves to find
this little light and this little alixa called the laugh,
what the fuck am I doing this for? I'm not
gonna make everybody laugh at one time. I hope to
(15:46):
tell the right jokes. That's why you go on tour.
That's why you you work it out. That's why you
you throw different things out there and you let them
blow up in your face. You're like a scientist. Let
me put two parts of oxygen, one part high two
parthidrant by that blows up in your face. Well, let
me try it this way. You watch people walk out,
But just because they walk out don't mean it's gonna
be a bad joke. I have people walk out on
(16:07):
that joke, and then that became my biggest joke. It
was like there was like, oh, you can't say that.
Oh I offended you. Oh that means you listening. So
let me go a little deeper. Let me dig a
little deeper because I know this oil here and when
I did, you know that? That was that gave me
an applause break. That's how how much people laughed about that,
because it was literally ten minute run of just going
(16:31):
deeper and deeper.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
It started with shack and it kept going, kept going,
kept going, kept going.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They laughed so hard at the Apollo man, I literally
could go, sip me some water and take time to
set up my next topic.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
So did Magic reach out to you?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I hope not, but I think when you see me,
gonn kiss me in the mouth and it's a funny now, nig.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But I love magic. I love magic, I love the Shack,
I love I love all these dudes. But I'm a
comedian and you know my heart, like, have you not
seen in Living color? Have you not seen don't be
a minister? Have you not seen scary movie? I have
made a living talking about people. That's what the fuck
I do. I make fun of things, and I'm not
(17:24):
gonna be unforgiving when it comes to everybody gets it.
You've seen good grief. I talked about my mama and
my daddy. So you think I'm gonna care about like
what Magic is feeling on any or Shack is feeling.
I'm talking about my dead mother and my dead father's dick.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna go get these jokes because
that's what I gotta do. I gotta heal.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
We have to have comedians in the world, like God
created y'all for a special reason. I truly believe that,
the same way there's doctors and you know, lawyers that
you need comedians in the.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
World, and you need you know, you need journalists, you
need people that you know, sit there and ask the
hard questions.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I seen you had that lady swim and the Trump lady.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
She was lard Trump laarrd Trump.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yeah, she was sweating up storm started looking just like
her father in law.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I said this, this, this is crazy. He made the
white lady nervous.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
So let me let me ask a question.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You can't go over there and getting no love for
a month.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
She was like anyway, she was about the roast storing time.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She said, period, bitch.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
You know you've been coming up here for fifteen sixteen
years and we've talked about your brother, and Charlemagne has changed,
He's evolved.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
He went to third.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But look once again, we get hold space for change.
Charlemagne twenty years will tell you he was an asshole.
He will tell you Yo, I was in a different place.
I could do nothing but shake that man's hand and
go yo. Love for real. Because we watched each other, bro,
we had our little spat beef whatever. But I hold
(18:52):
space for growth. I hold space for change.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Wyt you bring your brother up here next time, because
he's changed, because he's that nigga. Don't change. He stay angry.
Sean's still man. He mad at me.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I don't know what the fun I did.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
I think I took a shades.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Sorry, Sean, I bring him back. No, but you know what,
Sean also keeps a low profile. Sean don't be doing
a lot of press and stuff. But Sean, Sean will
come up here like he's Sean's Shawn's grown right. We
all grow and as as brothers in our industries, and
there's no time for beef, no time for that kind
of negative energy. I only go through negative energy to
(19:28):
find something positive. It always brings something positive. Positive, a
positive person. You joke a lot, but you're positive.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
If I'm not mistaking, I saw is he?

When I call it confirms, Okay, you can't confirm or deny,
But am I in the right area If we say
that there may be an assembly of the Wayns brothers
traveling in jokes, I will.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Just say that there may be assembly of the Waynes brothers,
and I believe.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It at that on TV or on stage.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Come on, what is this? It's like hot peas and butter,
you get I feel like there's a belt around the corner.
I'm running, No, leave me alone.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So Damon's coming out with with uh Papa's.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
House, Papa's House, that's what him and him and little Damon,
and that's gonna air in October CBS. Make sure y'all
check it out. I've been down to the set. It's
a really funny show. And uh, you know Damon no
miss and him and his son, Little Damon is brilliant.
And right now there's like sixty two Waynes is working
over there, so you know, the whole set is all Wayans.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And do you all seem like a text out? Like
hey man, new show?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who want to help check organically?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Like my sister Kim is one of his showrunners on
the show.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
She's writing on the show we like to have family
because my family back mm hmm. See that's why that
magic joke happened because I had nobody around.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Now Damon would be like, keep that one. I got
a little something more you can add to it.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You realize that's one of the funniest breakfast club interviews.
I don't even like to talk about it. When Damon
Wayne's was up here.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh day, I think that's the one that made him
stop doing stand up, because that's why standing up. They standing.
But we feel like the world became so judgmental. And
I think he's right, but he's not. What I found
is the world is judgmental on social media. When I
go to comedy shows, people want to laugh. The audience
(21:48):
wants to laugh. The social media got the got the
studios fucked up. They got the executives fucked up. They're
not making scared comedies because they're scared to make comedies.
They don't think people want to laugh. And I'm like,
you are so wrong, and that's why we're coming back.
We're in the full five. We about dunk Hall and
that people need to laugh. And I know my purpose,
(22:09):
you know, I look at how depressed the world feels
and we need to laugh again.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
In his headline, I don't want to say what it is,
but just what he said. That's why no more interview.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You see that grand closing.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
I gotta see what he said, remember, and that's the
way he said.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Look I remember.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But here's the thing. As a comedian, that man should
be able to say what the he wants to say.
Who are you to tell comedian? His job is to
find light. I don't care where it comes from, how
it comes. You take the darkest subject, the arcist topic,
and you go, here's what's funny. That is what my
job is. You know what I mean. You can't criticize
a fire man for not putting out part of a fire.
(23:08):
He goes into burning buildings to find bodies. I go
into burning buildings to find jokes. And that's what I
do for a living. And I'm never gonna not tell
jokes period. And if you get canceled, good You know
what canceled means. That means that the real niggas is
staying and them bitch ass niggas went home. Cancel me.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Everybody don't got the back like the backing that yard.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Some communities are scared because they can't just walk away
from stuff, or they're scared that brands walk away from
them down and got no money and they don't have
no ability like you guys have a It's different for
the way you have to stage because.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
We have a brand, right, Our brand has stood the
test of times. We started in the eighties, right, this
is generational and now probably forty forty years. That's beautiful
between me, Damon Sean Keenan Kim. That's two hundred and
thirty years comedy between each one of us. Like we
(24:02):
are masters at joke telling people trust our brand with
finding the fund the light. When we did in Living Color,
you know, Damon doing and and David doing Men on Film,
that's the first time gay people were introduced into your
living room and people felt like, oh this is safe.
Even gay people loved Men on Film. Because the way
(24:26):
we do things is we try to do it with
kids gloves. We want the people that we make in
fun of to be like, oh that was funny. That's
why you can't cancel us for white chicks. You don't
love white chicks the most white chicks. So the people
that we send up usually laughed aloudness And I'm sure
Magic Johnson's laughing right now.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You know you bought that up and that's funny, right,
Like I was saying that one.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I love about that one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I was saying earlier that we live in a generation
that's all about vibes. What happened to talent? Because you
can go back to any of those in the Living
Color cast. Everybody on there was talented. That's why y'all
still here today, not even Wayne's brothers, the David Allen, Grid,
the Tommy Davis and Jamie Fox.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Is like, come on, Jilly Colefield or people don't.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Argue it either. There's no argument of.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, Damon. I mean, because back then
it was you know, that's what thinks. Social media made
everybody feel like, oh I can instantly be famous. You
can be famous, but you're doing thirty second, three minute sketches,
which is cute. But back in the day, you had
to earn it. You had to work twenty thirty years
(25:28):
in comedy clubs before you had a point of view
that Hollywood would then want to take a chance on
betting on you. Nowadays that you got this many followers,
you got this many views, people, oh my god, that's
the next guy to bet on. No, you have to
it takes time, consistency. I've been doing this now for
now me thirty five years professionally and now I'm doing
(25:51):
stand up now fourteen twelve, fourteen years now some wheeler
and now I'm just now hitting my stride. I think
my best year are ahead of me. I'm in that
zone right now because it took me forty years to
really understand my art and my craft, and that's just
not in comedy. Now my dramatic is on point, you
(26:12):
know what I mean? Like I feel like our best
years and even now Wayne's years, people need to laugh.
So that Wayne's brand. We're coming back with the comedy tour.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I didn't say what's a comedy, but I'm on a
comedy toe the wild.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'm in Evansville, Indiana.

then November twenty first, I'm at DeVos Performance Hall and
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thank you very much. That's a lot,
but I work every weekend because this way when I'm
doing jokes, or this way when i'm you know, I
(27:27):
have a sketch show, I have a movie that I'm
doing that I know where the jokes are. They're in
my head before I even say it. I go, don't
say that, go for that. Your instincts is built by
the stage because you write on a stage.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
I'm not at home writing out jokes.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, I write my jokes right in front of the audience,
and it's live or die every second. Wow. And that's
how you get good.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
What's your motivation when you hit that thing? Because you're
clearly a very motivated person. I think that one of
the best examples of that we saw earlier this year,
when you know, you and Blad went through what you'all
went through.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Fuck that nigga, fucking fuck him and his beard.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You were Glad went through it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I didn't go through it, and I no disrespect to him.
I'm over it, like he disrespected me.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
I had not.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You should see the text. How many times I was like, Bro,
we ain't gonna do this. You're saying, fuck you did
we even hit that price? Bro, we don't have to
do this. Well, I'll give you five thousand, I said, Bro,
we ain't gonna do this. Bro, just leave it alone.
Were good? Bro, you wait to talk to Eric Spears
about this? What the fuck are you tell him my
business on your platform? That's when it got tricky. How
(28:35):
you gonna tell my business to another black man about
my price?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
How dare you now you're trying to make us crabs
in a barrel.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now you're trying to make me and aries you know,
go to war, And I'm like, see that.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
That made me go That's why I'm not fucking your platform.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Wait, he told you he was going to do that
before that interview happened.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
He told me when I when I told him I
didn't want to do the interview, it's like the price.
And I was just like, bro, the price is the price.
Let it go. You're you're saying fucking to me. I
didn't say fuck you to me. To this day, I
still haven't said fuck you to him. The only way
I said fuck you to him was when he kept going.
I was like, all right, so here's what's gonna happen.
You're trying to diminish my value. You're trying to diminish
my worth. You're trying to diminish my prolific career that
(29:17):
I know I have worked hard for. Now, I'm gonna
show you revenge. Success is a man's best revenge. Now,
I'm gonna show you Me and you ain't in the
same fucking league, Broold. You don't have a million dollars,
a billion dollars a box office behind you. You don't
have a thirty five year creating your own material, your
(29:39):
own shows, your own sit I'm gonna show you I'm
gonna go do some legendary shit and I'm gonna go
do it to everybody else except fucking you. And I
went and Dot did Shay Shy and he's like, you
can't get more than three hundred thousand views.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I got more views on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Boom first day, two million views. And I'm just like,
nuff said, drop Mike. And besides that, fuck your beard.
I don't like his beard. It looks like Trump's wig
on her face. I don't like it's ugly. It's red.
It looks like gossamer from the from the Looney Tunes,
you know, the one that had the sneakers, that monst Well.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I was just trying to ask you a question about motivation.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I had looked earlier to view this point eight point five,
but he set up more three hundred. I was like,
all right, cool, we didn't squash.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I squashed.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
He apologized.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
He's still talking about it. Just ask somebody else, dian Cole.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I'm just like I think every time he brings up
he apologize.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I'm just like, I accept this apology. I am not mad.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I wasn't mad from day one and until I roasted
him on on the ground, you know, I was like, wait,
hold up, you said what and I went in on
him and then I went the other way and I
showed him that way, and now I'm cool with it.
I ain't got no beef with that man. You know
what I'm saying. But just just yo, some respect on
my name, bro, Like, don't come at me like that.
(31:02):
I'm a peaceful dude. And if you looked at the
text that me and him the correspondent, you'd be like, Yo,
Mallin was a classy dude all the way through. He
messed up when he started talking about my price to
other people. That's and y'all know this. Your value is
what you say. Your value is what you say, your
worth is. And if and yes, I will state the
(31:24):
obvious as a black man, no, you won't do that
to me. And I have to take that position because
if I didn't take that position, we took that position
in the eighties to kick hold open fucking doors, to let.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
People no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
This is what we do. This is how you do us.
And you have to state the obvious. No, you won't
come at me like that. So and I if he apologized,
I accepted. I'm not mad at him.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Your motivation because it's not just that moment, I think about,
you know what happened with scary movie and how you
went to go create your own thing, Like I feel
like you need things to help push you to go
do something now.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Because everything negative that happens to me, I go, what's positive?
How do I flip this into positive? Nothing bad in life?
It's bad.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Everything is God.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
One door closes, look around, There's a thousand other opportunities
that come your.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Way, even the skittles.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Everything is and everything is God. I will say that
after losing my parents, I still have a parent. God.
He governs me and he got me through. If I
could tell you what I went through for three years
beyond COVID, when I lost sixty people that I loved,
it was like God was playing a trick on me.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
I was just like, are you kidding me? Somebody else?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
My mom? Whoa how my father? And when I went
through that and I was delivered, I was like, Yo,
God is real. And then my daughter. At the same time,
I was like, God is real and God is so
good and I'm so thankful to know him and I'm
so and I will tell people you should find God
(33:00):
before God comes to find you. If he comes to
find you. It's too late. Go seek him. He will
get you through any war, any battle, and everything is
positive because everything is God.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Amen, you have it. That got the brothers back together
to do this.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Everything was God. You should know what I went through
with these niggas.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
To the point is everything was God. The Waynes brother
comedy tour, that was tricky, that was all.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You almost got me. You almost got me on that.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
But I'll announce next week and I I'll come back.

Speaker 6 (34:00):
You you got too many questions. I can't, I can't.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
We even had Keenan up here. That a classic breakfast
club many people don't talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
That is the smartest dude, you know. I always say,
I'm the luckiest kid in the world, man to grow
up in the house with everybody I dreamt to be
like was in my house. I grew up in the
household with legends, man and and so you know, I
what I do, I do it for the village. I
am only me because because of the village that raised me.
I'm so grateful for my journey. I've had a beautiful time.
(34:32):
I mean, Damon, Keenan, Kim Sean, like everybody I wanted
to be like was in my house. Some of them
niggas feet was on me in my bed, like you
know what I'm saying, Like it's it's it's a story
that like I don't think like the Jackson to understand,
like that's it's a it's a blessing.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Man getting that story. When getting story which one the family.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh, the Wayne's family store. We're talking about it. We
actually created a sitcom a while ago. That's what I
mean by Hollywood, you know. Now for me, I really
want to go get a lot of financing because I
just want to do weigh and stuff. And I don't
need nobody telling me, hey, we're ready for you to
do it. No, no, no, I know When something's ready,
I cook it myself. That's why I pay for my
(35:19):
own specials, not waiting on y'all to tell me I'm
ready or what your runway is. I'm ready. I'm gonna
put this special either way it goes now, I even
want to be a part of it. You don't, And
I don't need people giving me approval. I know when
something's ready. We had this thing growing up, weighing the
funniest sitcom and it was about our family growing up
(35:39):
in the projects. And everybody's like, well, they're not doing
sitcoms no more. And that's why I want to go finance,
because I'm like, I'm gonna do one hundred episodes and
I'm gonna find the platform for it. I don't want
to ask people questions no more about hey, can I
do this? No? No, no, But either you want to do
this cool? If not, I'm not waiting on you. But
a movie, a movie will be bad.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Just to see how.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Long and Gandhi, just to hear the old champs? How
many wings? Is is this us?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
But I mean they hear the story smaller brothers and
everybody just how y'all did it? How y'all came from
growing up in a small house in Brooklyn and taking
it to where you guys at.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And all my ma hand people get mad, you.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Know, to to how you change the Super Bowl, Like
just all that in the film would just be amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think we will, and we're sniffing around it. We're
all talking about doing a lot of stuff, you know,
for everything from a book, because it's it's all right now.
It's all about the brand and the brand right, So,
you know, I think there's a book. I think there's
a doc. I think there's a biopic. I think we're
gonna put all that together in the next you know.
But it's hard to wrangle ten people. It's that's why
Earth Wind and Fire has never had an autobiography. Too
(36:49):
many niggas in the band. You got to get all
these different all these different rights, and you need this
person rights and the trumpet players rights and the sexophone player.
It's easy when you're act you know, it's like one person.
So I think we're all gonna collectivize and get this
done because the people need it and I want it
for the next generations coming up because it's a blueprint
(37:10):
for them. And I think I'm a sorry if my
brothers wanted to do I'm I'm already working on a
book for myself, but I think a collective family story
is something we gotta do.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
We appreciate you for joining us.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
You asked me all these hot questions. Now get a
collect call from Diddy from jail. I'm Magic, gonna kiss me.

don't know why he did that to be.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That nigga was high when he drew watching don't be amazed, like, Yo,

No, I'm gonna keep on We're gonna keep on digging. No,
you started it, so you know. But it's it's not
even about them. It's really about me in my transition
as a human. I throw myself under the bus because
I wasn't with the shits.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I wasn't like, yeah, this is great.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
When they first, you know, decided to go down this road,
I was against it because I'm like, yo, you're not
looking at life. You know, you're doing this now in
your youth. You may regret this when you like forty
five and you have a kid and you ain't got
no ditties to breastfeed this nigga with Jesus Christy. So
(04:27):
you know, as a parent, I was like, you know, protesting.
But at the same time, I went through this journey
from ignorance and defiance to complete acceptance. And I just
think a lot of people need to hear the truth
from hear a story. I tell funny truths, things that
you know hurt me or things that you know.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I'm imperfect and.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I'm not all the way you know there, I don't
always have the right answers, But I think it's good
to be human and be human on the stage because
when you talk about truth, now you're not just telling jokes.
Now you're actually healing the people in the audience. I
got people coming up with me after my show. I
was crying like, oh my thigh. And they did it
with good grief, and they're doing it now with the
Wild Chiut Tour. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Does your son get offended that your son said Dad? Enough?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like this is You've been on the breakfast lip twice
talking about it. You've been talking like enough is that?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh they tired of my shit? But see you like
your college paid for? So what I I gotta do
is I gotta talk about things. I'm sorry, baby, you
know da dad gonna do what he do.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
You know, it's a beautiful thing about art. If you
try to tweet or even probably explain what you just
explained in an interview and then get mad at you,
they probably try to cancel you. But if you do
it on stage in a packaged way, it'll make more.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Sense because it's your forum and you get to really
unpack your truth. It's I look at the stages, it's
a therapy session, except instead of paying a therapist, two
hundred dollars to, you know, to express myself. I got
these jackasses paying fifty five hours come see me perform.
And I'm like, y'all understand, I'm in therapy right now
(05:55):
and the audience has been my therapist.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
And when I hear their laughter, I find the answers.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And you know, I'm just really grateful that God gave
me this, this this career and this this thing called
stand up and this thing called art because I always
take my broken heart and make art and I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I always wanted to know with your son, did you
have to sit down and say, okay, well, explain it
to me?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Break it down?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Because we come from a different place where jokes as jokes.
Did you have to sit down and play explain what
you want me to say, what you want me to
call you, how you feel this, that and the other?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Did you have to go through that?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It was so damn confusing because you know, they started
with pronouns, and I'm like, look, I went to public
school in New York City.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I don't know no pronouns.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I know nows and verbs. That's all they taught us,
you know what I mean. So they broke it down
and all this, and it's just it's too much. And
then I got to change from calling them she to
now he and they, and I'm like, they, this is
two of you.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
What's what's I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
My god, I'm I'm just so confused. But they took
me through the tutorial. And you know they know that
sometimes I still because you know, for twenty three years
you with her and now they and they give me
grace because they know you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Know, okay, but you know they know he knows you
still love them.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They know I love them, They know I love him.
I'll fight, I'll die for them, no matter what, don't matter.
You know that's my child, you know what I mean.
And I think all parents should defend and pull up
for their children. You know that's my child and I
want them to be happin And if that makes them happy,
I'm happy for him.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
We saw you come to Boosey's defense when the back
and forth what's happening online with his daughter? Have you
guys spoken? I do other parents call you because you're
very open about your journey.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I frea see people fried me up for coming to
his defense, but I wasn't coming to his defense, I'm
telling people, hey, man, y'all mind your fucking business and
let families work out they shit. That's private between him
and his daughter, and they don't need your fuel.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
They don't need my fuel.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I'm telling you, when you're ironing out your personal problems,
that's between him and his daughter. And everybody got something
the fuck to say. That's why I don't like about
social media. That man is dealing with his child and
they need to express themselves and hold space. We live
in a society where we're unforgiving and all we do
is add fuel to fires and watch it burn and applaud.
(08:16):
And I'm just like, yo, let them. Let that man
hold space. It takes him time. When it first happened
to me, it took me time. You can't expect somebody
to instant be like I accept everything. It takes time.
And God has his way of talking to each and
every one of us. We all gonna have our sit
(08:37):
down with God. I had mine, you know, and he
will have his and our hold space that that man
changes his point of view and that him and his
child come together and love each other like any black
father and black daughter or white or daughter father, period
that's what I want, and people I don't get fucking
oh you should be saying, shot the fuck up. I'm
not gonna defend myself with one hundred and fifty characters
(08:59):
or whatever it is now on X give a fuck.
I said what I said. I stand by Now let
it go. I hold space for that man and his
daughter to come together as a family and figure that
shit out the way me and my child came together
as a family and we figured our shit out. People
need the space to have those honest conversations. I agree
with that.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
But I agree with that. But you and your child
didn't work it out through social media.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, we didn't. Interview was talking because my child been
on followed me.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Then his child replied the interview he did. That's the
problem I'd be having, Like, don't.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Tell your personal business in these interviews if you don't
want the world to have an opinion about it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, but you know, and that's to their fault. That's
that's that that was something. But they figured it out,
and you know, as they should. But I just hold
space and hold space for prayer and hold space within
myself that people can grow up, that people can change.
Every person should have the opportunity to change, even brothers
(09:56):
that are in prison. There's a reason why there's prison.
It's time for you to sit and time out and
have conversations with God and reform. But when they come out,
we should applaud them for the time they did. They
did the time. Now let's hold space that they're better people.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Now, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Oh shit, I don't got myself in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You said in prison.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'm just curious. How many times have people asked you,
have you ever been to a diddy party?
Speaker 8 (10:20):
They pulled up that tweet?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
What the fuck they gotta do a prison?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He made me think about it.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I've seen the baby behind you just made me think
about it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
You do have a baby on all right.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So here's the thing. I've been to ten fifteen. I
know Puff since he was Puff, I knew. We went
to college together, So I went to Howard. I always
always wanted to go to Ditty party. He s at
the hottest parties in DC. I was too young to
get into those. But when I got to LA and
throughout the years the nineties, come on, man, I'm biggie
and I've been around a long time. And I will
(10:52):
say this, I've never I've been to maybe ten fifteen
some of this house.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I've never seen shit. I have never you put a
lot of debt to test on me.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When they're like, oh well this video is great, showed
me you're gonna see me sipping some rock and maybe
pushing the deli on to the sides. That shit too strong.
But he's a little shit. You gott put a little
you gotta put a little so rock in your debly
on and uh, but you know, I've never seen any
(11:20):
of the stuff that they say happened. I've never been
to a freak off. That's just not and that's just
not my vibes. That's not Wayne's vibes. Beyond that, I
gotta honor. I go to a party or whatever. But
I always got my mother, my father and God, and
you can be around things and go, yeah, this this
ain't for me. That's just never been my vibe. I
(11:41):
don't get off. I don't even like watching porn with BBC. No,
I want mine Dick to be the only BBC in
the room. We could watch some ladies perform, sure, but
I mean now and then you come across that one
brother and his shit. It's so big, and you go, God,
damn it, dick shouldn't be that big. Don't that shit hurt?
Even trying to make a feel That's ridiculous, all that dick.
(12:02):
That's even Asian poet. Because I know my dick is
bigger than these. I'm gonna get in trouble. That was shaming.
That was dick shaming. I want to polish.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
When you hear these stories and you know they be
tragic stories, you hope that none of this, you hope
it's not true.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But you got to listen to the you know, the
alleged victims.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yes, you got me sweating.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Damn.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
He knew he's starting stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I didn't. Man, it's winter time outside. Man, you ask
like it's thirty degrees out. You know. I like my
fall clothes.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
How you know I get to I get to floss
and show off fly ship. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I wait all year for fault.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Did you have jokes immediately? Like when you read some
of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
A billion of them? I heard puff up. I said, man,
I got some jokes for you. I'm not sure you
want to hear him right? When he respond O listen,
I hear him I've known these guys my whole life.
I've been growing up in Hollywood. When it happened to
Russell Simmons, I'm the wrong dude. I hit a nigga
on his first day. I hear Russell Simmons and I said, hey, nigga.
(13:00):
It was like, after all these allegations came out, I said, hey, nigga,
you having a terrible week to this day, Russell hit
me from BALI in some weird stressed position. That's still
one of the funny things I ever heard. So yeah,
I hit them up on their worst day, you know.
And I whold prayer, you know, for because I know
(13:21):
the kids, and I'm just like and I'm not excusing
any of those actions. I saw the Cassi tape. That
hurt my feeling, and it hurt my feelings to see
a black man do that to any woman, or any
man do that to woman.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I wasn't raised like that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But as much as I see that video and I
heard for her, you know, there's a part of me,
and that's what I mean, hold space. There's a part
of me that hurts for that little boy in there
that was taught that kind of toxic behavior. And I
pray that he heard, he heals. I pray that he
like he's sitting with God right now. I don't need
to throw that man under a bus. God is talking
(13:57):
to puff right now, and that's between God and him,
and whatever happens happens, and that's between him and God.
But I'm gonna pray for those kids. I'm gonna pay
for the family. I'm not gonna act like stuff didn't happen.
And I ain't gonna act like Nigga ain't got no jokes.
I got some wonderful jokes that I got in my show.
Oh everybody got a baby old joke. He got a
(14:17):
thousand bottles. I'm on my way to Vegas, I mean
the Atlantic City. It's gonna be a car ride, thousand
bottles of baby all on the water. But everybody got jokes,
and he know what it is, and the kids know
what it is. But you know, I don't want to
kick him in when he's down. And I think, like
I said, man, I know, I know that family, and
(14:39):
I pray for more.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know, you know also to man that the thing
I love about comedians.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Comedians say things and have conversations that everybody do be
thinking I saw you on Shacks podcasts.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Okay, but I do now Shack podcast you talk about
he don't be behaving. You talked about a joke that
you didn't want to say.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Which one the Oh no, you ain't gonna get me
to say that shit. I just said that Magic Johnson
had the good age. What age did you get if
you lived fifty years? I want those ages. You've become
a billionaire with age. Give me those age. What kind
of aige is this? Financial aids?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
All of us have had that conversation amongst each other.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You see the judgment over here. Listen, he said.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
That I just don't everybody observation.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Everybody talks about it. And here's the thing. Either you're
gonna get bad about a joke or you ain't. And
if you get mad, you fucking leave. I'm not gonna
retract statements. I'm not gonna retract jokes. They are jokes.
If I didn't go in these dark caves to find
this little light and this little alixa called the laugh,
what the fuck am I doing this for? I'm not
gonna make everybody laugh at one time. I hope to
(15:46):
tell the right jokes. That's why you go on tour.
That's why you you work it out. That's why you
you throw different things out there and you let them
blow up in your face. You're like a scientist. Let
me put two parts of oxygen, one part high two
parthidrant by that blows up in your face. Well, let
me try it this way. You watch people walk out,
But just because they walk out don't mean it's gonna
be a bad joke. I have people walk out on
(16:07):
that joke, and then that became my biggest joke. It
was like there was like, oh, you can't say that.
Oh I offended you. Oh that means you listening. So
let me go a little deeper. Let me dig a
little deeper because I know this oil here and when
I did, you know that? That was that gave me
an applause break. That's how how much people laughed about that,
because it was literally ten minute run of just going
(16:31):
deeper and deeper.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
It started with shack and it kept going, kept going,
kept going, kept going.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They laughed so hard at the Apollo man, I literally
could go, sip me some water and take time to
set up my next topic.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
So did Magic reach out to you?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I hope not, but I think when you see me,
gonn kiss me in the mouth and it's a funny now, nig.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But I love magic. I love magic, I love the Shack,
I love I love all these dudes. But I'm a
comedian and you know my heart, like, have you not
seen in Living color? Have you not seen don't be
a minister? Have you not seen scary movie? I have
made a living talking about people. That's what the fuck
I do. I make fun of things, and I'm not
(17:24):
gonna be unforgiving when it comes to everybody gets it.
You've seen good grief. I talked about my mama and
my daddy. So you think I'm gonna care about like
what Magic is feeling on any or Shack is feeling.
I'm talking about my dead mother and my dead father's dick.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna go get these jokes because
that's what I gotta do. I gotta heal.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
We have to have comedians in the world, like God
created y'all for a special reason. I truly believe that,
the same way there's doctors and you know, lawyers that
you need comedians in the.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
World, and you need you know, you need journalists, you
need people that you know, sit there and ask the
hard questions.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I seen you had that lady swim and the Trump lady.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
She was lard Trump laarrd Trump.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yeah, she was sweating up storm started looking just like
her father in law.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I said this, this, this is crazy. He made the
white lady nervous.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
So let me let me ask a question.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You can't go over there and getting no love for
a month.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
She was like anyway, she was about the roast storing time.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She said, period, bitch.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
You know you've been coming up here for fifteen sixteen
years and we've talked about your brother, and Charlemagne has changed,
He's evolved.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
He went to third.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But look once again, we get hold space for change.
Charlemagne twenty years will tell you he was an asshole.
He will tell you Yo, I was in a different place.
I could do nothing but shake that man's hand and
go yo. Love for real. Because we watched each other, bro,
we had our little spat beef whatever. But I hold
(18:52):
space for growth. I hold space for change.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Wyt you bring your brother up here next time, because
he's changed, because he's that nigga. Don't change. He stay angry.
Sean's still man. He mad at me.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I don't know what the fun I did.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
I think I took a shades.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Sorry, Sean, I bring him back. No, but you know what,
Sean also keeps a low profile. Sean don't be doing
a lot of press and stuff. But Sean, Sean will
come up here like he's Sean's Shawn's grown right. We
all grow and as as brothers in our industries, and
there's no time for beef, no time for that kind
of negative energy. I only go through negative energy to
(19:28):
find something positive. It always brings something positive. Positive, a
positive person. You joke a lot, but you're positive.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
If I'm not mistaking, I saw is he?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Sean writing on Damon.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Sean's writing on Damage Show. We're about to have an announcement.
We're gonna announced next week. I can't talk about it here,
but a big announcement coming, So I'm just gonna leave
it at there. Like I said, it's a big announcement coming.
You didn't look at the juice. The juice.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Right now, Wayne brother to would be kind of crazy.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Kind of hard.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So this is what I do.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
When I call it confirms, Okay, you can't confirm or deny,
But am I in the right area If we say
that there may be an assembly of the Wayns brothers
traveling in jokes, I will.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Just say that there may be assembly of the Waynes brothers,
and I believe.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It at that on TV or on stage.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Come on, what is this? It's like hot peas and butter,
you get I feel like there's a belt around the corner.
I'm running, No, leave me alone.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So Damon's coming out with with uh Papa's.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
House, Papa's House, that's what him and him and little Damon,
and that's gonna air in October CBS. Make sure y'all
check it out. I've been down to the set. It's
a really funny show. And uh, you know Damon no
miss and him and his son, Little Damon is brilliant.
And right now there's like sixty two Waynes is working
over there, so you know, the whole set is all Wayans.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And do you all seem like a text out? Like
hey man, new show?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who want to help check organically?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Like my sister Kim is one of his showrunners on
the show.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
She's writing on the show we like to have family
because my family back mm hmm. See that's why that
magic joke happened because I had nobody around.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Now Damon would be like, keep that one. I got
a little something more you can add to it.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You realize that's one of the funniest breakfast club interviews.
I don't even like to talk about it. When Damon
Wayne's was up here.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh day, I think that's the one that made him
stop doing stand up, because that's why standing up. They standing.
But we feel like the world became so judgmental. And
I think he's right, but he's not. What I found
is the world is judgmental on social media. When I
go to comedy shows, people want to laugh. The audience
(21:48):
wants to laugh. The social media got the got the
studios fucked up. They got the executives fucked up. They're
not making scared comedies because they're scared to make comedies.
They don't think people want to laugh. And I'm like,
you are so wrong, and that's why we're coming back.
We're in the full five. We about dunk Hall and
that people need to laugh. And I know my purpose,
(22:09):
you know, I look at how depressed the world feels
and we need to laugh again.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
In his headline, I don't want to say what it is,
but just what he said. That's why no more interview.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You see that grand closing.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
I gotta see what he said, remember, and that's the
way he said.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Look I remember.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But here's the thing. As a comedian, that man should
be able to say what the he wants to say.
Who are you to tell comedian? His job is to
find light. I don't care where it comes from, how
it comes. You take the darkest subject, the arcist topic,
and you go, here's what's funny. That is what my
job is. You know what I mean. You can't criticize
a fire man for not putting out part of a fire.
(23:08):
He goes into burning buildings to find bodies. I go
into burning buildings to find jokes. And that's what I
do for a living. And I'm never gonna not tell
jokes period. And if you get canceled, good You know
what canceled means. That means that the real niggas is
staying and them bitch ass niggas went home. Cancel me.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Everybody don't got the back like the backing that yard.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Some communities are scared because they can't just walk away
from stuff, or they're scared that brands walk away from
them down and got no money and they don't have
no ability like you guys have a It's different for
the way you have to stage because.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
We have a brand, right, Our brand has stood the
test of times. We started in the eighties, right, this
is generational and now probably forty forty years. That's beautiful
between me, Damon Sean Keenan Kim. That's two hundred and
thirty years comedy between each one of us. Like we
(24:02):
are masters at joke telling people trust our brand with
finding the fund the light. When we did in Living Color,
you know, Damon doing and and David doing Men on Film,
that's the first time gay people were introduced into your
living room and people felt like, oh this is safe.
Even gay people loved Men on Film. Because the way
(24:26):
we do things is we try to do it with
kids gloves. We want the people that we make in
fun of to be like, oh that was funny. That's
why you can't cancel us for white chicks. You don't
love white chicks the most white chicks. So the people
that we send up usually laughed aloudness And I'm sure
Magic Johnson's laughing right now.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You know you bought that up and that's funny, right,
Like I was saying that one.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I love about that one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I was saying earlier that we live in a generation
that's all about vibes. What happened to talent? Because you
can go back to any of those in the Living
Color cast. Everybody on there was talented. That's why y'all
still here today, not even Wayne's brothers, the David Allen, Grid,
the Tommy Davis and Jamie Fox.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Is like, come on, Jilly Colefield or people don't.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Argue it either. There's no argument of.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, Damon. I mean, because back then
it was you know, that's what thinks. Social media made
everybody feel like, oh I can instantly be famous. You
can be famous, but you're doing thirty second, three minute sketches,
which is cute. But back in the day, you had
to earn it. You had to work twenty thirty years
(25:28):
in comedy clubs before you had a point of view
that Hollywood would then want to take a chance on
betting on you. Nowadays that you got this many followers,
you got this many views, people, oh my god, that's
the next guy to bet on. No, you have to
it takes time, consistency. I've been doing this now for
now me thirty five years professionally and now I'm doing
(25:51):
stand up now fourteen twelve, fourteen years now some wheeler
and now I'm just now hitting my stride. I think
my best year are ahead of me. I'm in that
zone right now because it took me forty years to
really understand my art and my craft, and that's just
not in comedy. Now my dramatic is on point, you
(26:12):
know what I mean? Like I feel like our best
years and even now Wayne's years, people need to laugh.
So that Wayne's brand. We're coming back with the comedy tour.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I didn't say what's a comedy, but I'm on a
comedy toe the wild.
Speaker 1 (26:29):

have a sketch show, I have a movie that I'm
doing that I know where the jokes are. They're in
my head before I even say it. I go, don't
say that, go for that. Your instincts is built by
the stage because you write on a stage.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
I'm not at home writing out jokes.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, I write my jokes right in front of the audience,
and it's live or die every second. Wow. And that's
how you get good.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
What's your motivation when you hit that thing? Because you're
clearly a very motivated person. I think that one of
the best examples of that we saw earlier this year,
when you know, you and Blad went through what you'all
went through.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Fuck that nigga, fucking fuck him and his beard.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You were Glad went through it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I didn't go through it, and I no disrespect to him.
I'm over it, like he disrespected me.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
I had not.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You should see the text. How many times I was like, Bro,
we ain't gonna do this. You're saying, fuck you did
we even hit that price? Bro, we don't have to
do this. Well, I'll give you five thousand, I said, Bro,
we ain't gonna do this. Bro, just leave it alone.
Were good? Bro, you wait to talk to Eric Spears
about this? What the fuck are you tell him my
business on your platform? That's when it got tricky. How
(28:35):
you gonna tell my business to another black man about
my price?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
How dare you now you're trying to make us crabs
in a barrel.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now you're trying to make me and aries you know,
go to war, And I'm like, see that.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
That made me go That's why I'm not fucking your platform.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Wait, he told you he was going to do that
before that interview happened.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
He told me when I when I told him I
didn't want to do the interview, it's like the price.
And I was just like, bro, the price is the price.
Let it go. You're you're saying fucking to me. I
didn't say fuck you to me. To this day, I
still haven't said fuck you to him. The only way
I said fuck you to him was when he kept going.
I was like, all right, so here's what's gonna happen.
You're trying to diminish my value. You're trying to diminish
my worth. You're trying to diminish my prolific career that
(29:17):
I know I have worked hard for. Now, I'm gonna
show you revenge. Success is a man's best revenge. Now,
I'm gonna show you Me and you ain't in the
same fucking league, Broold. You don't have a million dollars,
a billion dollars a box office behind you. You don't
have a thirty five year creating your own material, your
(29:39):
own shows, your own sit I'm gonna show you I'm
gonna go do some legendary shit and I'm gonna go
do it to everybody else except fucking you. And I
went and Dot did Shay Shy and he's like, you
can't get more than three hundred thousand views.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I got more views on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Boom first day, two million views. And I'm just like,
nuff said, drop Mike. And besides that, fuck your beard.
I don't like his beard. It looks like Trump's wig
on her face. I don't like it's ugly. It's red.
It looks like gossamer from the from the Looney Tunes,
you know, the one that had the sneakers, that monst Well.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I was just trying to ask you a question about motivation.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I had looked earlier to view this point eight point five,
but he set up more three hundred. I was like,
all right, cool, we didn't squash.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I squashed.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
He apologized.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
He's still talking about it. Just ask somebody else, dian Cole.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I'm just like I think every time he brings up
he apologize.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I'm just like, I accept this apology. I am not mad.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I wasn't mad from day one and until I roasted
him on on the ground, you know, I was like, wait,
hold up, you said what and I went in on
him and then I went the other way and I
showed him that way, and now I'm cool with it.
I ain't got no beef with that man. You know
what I'm saying. But just just yo, some respect on
my name, bro, Like, don't come at me like that.
(31:02):
I'm a peaceful dude. And if you looked at the
text that me and him the correspondent, you'd be like, Yo,
Mallin was a classy dude all the way through. He
messed up when he started talking about my price to
other people. That's and y'all know this. Your value is
what you say. Your value is what you say, your
worth is. And if and yes, I will state the
(31:24):
obvious as a black man, no, you won't do that
to me. And I have to take that position because
if I didn't take that position, we took that position
in the eighties to kick hold open fucking doors, to let.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
People no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
This is what we do. This is how you do us.
And you have to state the obvious. No, you won't
come at me like that. So and I if he apologized,
I accepted. I'm not mad at him.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Your motivation because it's not just that moment, I think about,
you know what happened with scary movie and how you
went to go create your own thing, Like I feel
like you need things to help push you to go
do something now.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Because everything negative that happens to me, I go, what's positive?
How do I flip this into positive? Nothing bad in life?
It's bad.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Everything is God.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
One door closes, look around, There's a thousand other opportunities
that come your.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Way, even the skittles.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Everything is and everything is God. I will say that
after losing my parents, I still have a parent. God.
He governs me and he got me through. If I
could tell you what I went through for three years
beyond COVID, when I lost sixty people that I loved,
it was like God was playing a trick on me.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
I was just like, are you kidding me? Somebody else?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
My mom? Whoa how my father? And when I went
through that and I was delivered, I was like, Yo,
God is real. And then my daughter. At the same time,
I was like, God is real and God is so
good and I'm so thankful to know him and I'm
so and I will tell people you should find God
(33:00):
before God comes to find you. If he comes to
find you. It's too late. Go seek him. He will
get you through any war, any battle, and everything is
positive because everything is God.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Amen, you have it. That got the brothers back together
to do this.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Everything was God. You should know what I went through
with these niggas.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
To the point is everything was God. The Waynes brother
comedy tour, that was tricky, that was all.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You almost got me. You almost got me on that.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
But I'll announce next week and I I'll come back.
Speaker 4 (33:27):

Speaker 6 (34:00):
You you got too many questions. I can't, I can't.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
We even had Keenan up here. That a classic breakfast
club many people don't talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
That is the smartest dude, you know. I always say,
I'm the luckiest kid in the world, man to grow
up in the house with everybody I dreamt to be
like was in my house. I grew up in the
household with legends, man and and so you know, I
what I do, I do it for the village. I
am only me because because of the village that raised me.
I'm so grateful for my journey. I've had a beautiful time.
(34:32):
I mean, Damon, Keenan, Kim Sean, like everybody I wanted
to be like was in my house. Some of them
niggas feet was on me in my bed, like you
know what I'm saying, Like it's it's it's a story
that like I don't think like the Jackson to understand,
like that's it's a it's a blessing.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Man getting that story. When getting story which one the family.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh, the Wayne's family store. We're talking about it. We
actually created a sitcom a while ago. That's what I
mean by Hollywood, you know. Now for me, I really
want to go get a lot of financing because I
just want to do weigh and stuff. And I don't
need nobody telling me, hey, we're ready for you to
do it. No, no, no, I know When something's ready,
I cook it myself. That's why I pay for my
(35:19):
own specials, not waiting on y'all to tell me I'm
ready or what your runway is. I'm ready. I'm gonna
put this special either way it goes now, I even
want to be a part of it. You don't, And
I don't need people giving me approval. I know when
something's ready. We had this thing growing up, weighing the
funniest sitcom and it was about our family growing up
(35:39):
in the projects. And everybody's like, well, they're not doing
sitcoms no more. And that's why I want to go finance,
because I'm like, I'm gonna do one hundred episodes and
I'm gonna find the platform for it. I don't want
to ask people questions no more about hey, can I
do this? No? No, no, But either you want to do
this cool? If not, I'm not waiting on you. But
a movie, a movie will be bad.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Just to see how.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Long and Gandhi, just to hear the old champs? How
many wings? Is is this us?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
But I mean they hear the story smaller brothers and
everybody just how y'all did it? How y'all came from
growing up in a small house in Brooklyn and taking
it to where you guys at.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And all my ma hand people get mad, you.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Know, to to how you change the Super Bowl, Like
just all that in the film would just be amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think we will, and we're sniffing around it. We're
all talking about doing a lot of stuff, you know,
for everything from a book, because it's it's all right now.
It's all about the brand and the brand right, So,
you know, I think there's a book. I think there's
a doc. I think there's a biopic. I think we're
gonna put all that together in the next you know.
But it's hard to wrangle ten people. It's that's why
Earth Wind and Fire has never had an autobiography. Too
(36:49):
many niggas in the band. You got to get all
these different all these different rights, and you need this
person rights and the trumpet players rights and the sexophone player.
It's easy when you're act you know, it's like one person.
So I think we're all gonna collectivize and get this
done because the people need it and I want it
for the next generations coming up because it's a blueprint
(37:10):
for them. And I think I'm a sorry if my
brothers wanted to do I'm I'm already working on a
book for myself, but I think a collective family story
is something we gotta do.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
We appreciate you for joining us.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
You asked me all these hot questions. Now get a
collect call from Diddy from jail. I'm Magic, gonna kiss me.
