Because it's a reflection of where I'm at in the game,
where I'm mad in the business, you know what I mean, Like,
I'm not here here, here's here's my level of fame,
Like to my kids. To my kids when they were younger,
I was famous. Now that they older, they're like, Okay,
you just you're just well known, bro, Like you ain't
famous because if you was famous, we you know, we
we we've been a whole different situation. But I scept
(03:00):
that because I like my level of fame. I like
where I'm at on the fame scale. Like, I'm not
famous enough that if I'm in the mall, somebody gonna
be like, oh my god, it's him. Can you oh
my god, can I get pictures with you so I
can send them to my kids?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You over the I'm not that level of fame. Okay,
that's Kevin Hart level.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Like my level of fame is if I'm in the hood,
mall anywhere, at least one person gonna point at me
and be like, hey, but don't tell me damn.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And then they gonna call me the wrong name. They
gonna call me somebody else but Rock.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But hold on, I know you ain't the brad like
who is, Like, I'm the third most famous two I'm
the fourth most famous person on the morning show. I'm
the third most famous person who graduated from my high
school that's guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I'm the most famous person in my neighborhood. That's
for damn show.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
My level of fame is I'm situationally famous, you know,
situationally famous. That means that in any at any given time,
I'm the most famous person.
Speaker 1 (04:05):

Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's my level of fame. See, I'm not trying to
convince myself that I'm really famous, like you know, I mean,
because I'm not. But it's all good because I'm good.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I like my level of famou If I was any
more famous, I would have so many problems because, see,
famous people, it's hard to have skeletons in your closet.
The skeleton Dan's down the hallway when you're famous. But
right now, all the shit I don't need nobody to
know is where it needs to be. And me and
my wife get in an argument at cracker Barrel. Don't
(04:54):
nobody care, But If I'm out on the date with
a girl that used to be a boy, everybody gonna
know about that. So I am at that level of fame.
If I end up with a TG somewhere, yeah, that's
gonna come out for some reason. Yeah, it's gonna be
hard hard to hide that. Not that I would, I'm
just saying, but if I did not, there is anytthing
(05:16):
wrong with that.

He was just a fan, like maybe twelve years ago.
Used to come to the show and watch me. When
I was hosting at Uptown Comedy Corner in Atlanta. Him
and his wife used to come out. They love my comedy,
they love what I did. He said, hey, man, one
day we're gonna work together. We're gonna do some things.
He got into the legal profession, made a whole lot
of money. I'm just gonna put his business out there.
And he came to me and said, hey man, you
(06:47):

gonna produce it. I'm gonna executive produce it. I said, okay,
say let's so we decided on Birmingham. We were thinking
about Cleveland, we were thinking about Saint Louis, we were
thinking about Baltimore, and we sat it on Birmingham. It's
not that far from Atlanta. I get a lot of
love in Birmingham. I've been you know, people here know me.
(07:08):
So I've been doing my thing here and I just
want to get let people see that I'm not just
the funny guy on the radio with the quick lines

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Stand up is what I do. That's my job, that's
my gig, and I've been doing it for a long time.
I've been doing it for a long time, since nineteen
ninety eight. I think I don't even know how many
years that is. But I've been doing it since then,
and I'm pretty damn good at it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I ain't gonna lie. I'm pretty good at that. Man.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Man, So how'd you come up for this material for

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
My life? You know, my life? Man? Just I talk.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm very open in my comedy. I talk about my marriage,
I talk about my marriage problems. I talk about my kids.
I talk about coming to grips with getting older, you know,
because that's the thing, like like when you hit fifty,
you know, you start thinking about different stuff, Like shit
hit different when you fifty, man, Like your body changes,
(08:09):
Like you don't pee loud no more like when you
twenty five, you pee loud. Like when you twenty five
and you go in the bathroom to pee in the morning,
you waking somebody up.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You pee at fifty, it might not even make no noise,
like for some reason that prostate. Just get weak after it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And it don't matter how good you look on the outside,
dot matter how nice your clothes is, no matter how
much you go work out, that being get weak at
the fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, you can't eat the same things at the fifty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't do Taco Tuesday unless I'm ready for Wicked
Wednesday because Taco Tuesday mean wicked Wednesday. That if I
go to Taco Bell, I got to order my food
and go in the bathroom and tell them bring it
in here.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Just bring I'm already be sitting down.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Just yeah, just bringing in here so I could save
myself a trip, because that's how fast it's gonna go.
But you know, you think about you started getting gray man,
like you know, and you can run from it. You
can just for me and the shit all day, but
eventually it's gonna come. And with gray you get that wisdom.
You know, people say, hey, man with gray hair is
(09:09):
a sign of wisdom. So that means my balls are geniuses.
That might have been too much to share. I don't
know if I probably shouldn't have payd it that visual.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's just me.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's like, guys, I mean wow, but like seriously, So yeah,
So to ask your question, man, my material comes from
my real life. I talk about things that annoy me,
things that get on my nerd, like things piss you off,
like when I'm fifty, Like you're a younger man. When
you hit fifty, it's gonna be a lot of things
to pitch you off. And it could be things that
(09:40):
ain't got nothing to do with you. Sure I go
on the dollar tree. I get upset if I see
somebody return to something because I'm like, why the fuck
are you returning something that you paid a dollar for?
That means you bought it. You got home, realized this
flashlight don't work. You got back in your put your
(10:00):
seat belt back on, draw back three miles to the
dollar tree, stopped it, four five lights, risked having an accident,
could have got pulled over.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Got a ticket.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You did all that to come back in the store,
get back in line and explain to this cashier that
you need to return this item that you paid four quarters.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Me and get your ass out of this line. Talking
about you return to something that you paid a dollar for.
That bothers me. That's just wonderfull small things that bothered me.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, you know, I don't like I don't I
don't like like like it bothers me that people go
to like like my daughters. You know, she's twenties, she's
in twenties, right, So, uh, she was going out one night?
I said, well, she said she was going to the
club with her fan for her birthday. I said, what
time are you leaving? She said, I'm start getting dressed
by eleven thirty. I'm start getting dressed at leven thirty.
(10:52):
What kind of what kind of hole club is this?
Do no good girls go to the club that it
let them? That's a whole club like that that ain't
no wholesome. She said that I'm not going to bibles
that are going to a club, she said, you just old, like, yeah,
cause the clubs I go to they close at eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Shit, ten thirty. They putting chairs up on the tables
and vacuum. Shit.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't go to no club to stay open the
three and it because like when you're twenty something, you
look for the club to stay open the longest you
remember them to day. You look for the club that
all right, who stay open till four? Who stay open
till five? Shit, I don't know at four o'clock. If
I believe in my house at three o'clock in the morning,
it's because that bitch on fire, my house gonna have
to be on fire for me to walk outside. I
(11:36):
don't know what my driveway feel like at three am.
Ain't no reason, ain't nowhere in the hell. I don't
like nobody calling me late. Don't call me past nine thirty.
Any call coming to my phone at eleven o'clock. Somebody
in jail, somebody in the hospital, or somebody did them.
First two I can't really do nothing about that. Last one,
(11:57):
I damn sure can't do nothing about it. Call your
pastor called me in the morning. Leave me a text,
because whoever died at eleven o'clock, they still gonna be
dead at nine a m. I don't care who it is.
Mama Daddy. Cousin said, look, call don't call me at
eleven o'clock. Tell me you know your mama pass she'll
be dead in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Wow, ship that sound cold? But that my line? Am
I line, am my line. She's still gonna be Dad.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She ain't gonna be no less dead. If I wake
up now I'm hollering and crying, interrupted my damn sleep.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You could have let me sleep. You could have let
me sleep through that night without knowing big Mama Dad.
I didn't need to know that. If I go to
I don't need that on my spirit. If I go
to sleep the morning, she's still gonna be dead. Okay,
that's enough.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
One man. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't know. I just I got carried away. I'm sorry,
I really gotta know it.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
IM sitting if you're talking.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I really I literally got mad, got mad, just that fan.
I got mad.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
There's a co host on the nationally syndicated Ricky Smile
in the morning show. You used to making people laugh daily, right,
how does perform a comedy on stage compared to your
radio work.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean, it's two totally different muscles. Man, It's like
it's like it's like doing the leg press versus curls.
Like it's two totally different muscles. Funny on the radio is.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You have to paint a picture. You have to paint
a picture, and it's all about timing.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, theater of the mind, it's all about timing and
all about you gotta understand that while people are listening
to whatever you're saying is funny, they're driving, they're working,
they're doing whatever. They can't see you. So facial expressions
don't matter. Body movements don't matter. You got to learn
how to paint a picture. Whereas comedy on stage it's
all about they can see you.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's visual, it's facial expressions, it's body movements. It's all
this and that.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You know what I'm saying, you selling it a different
kind of way. So some comedians don't do well on
the radio and vice versa. And some some people are
funny on the radio, but they can never do stand
up because they can't work both of those muscles.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So when you when you're able to work both of
those muscles.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
One, You're gonna always have a job because I'm the
here writer for the com I'm the heare writer for
the morning show, so I you know, right, and have
you know, created some of the funniest bits that we've
done since we've been on the air fifteen years. You know,
myself and Ricky we're the comedy backbone of the show.
So you know, he's like, it's like, you know, he's
the he's the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm the O C. But I'm also the backup quarterback.
So just you the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And you the backup so you know, you know what
I'm saying and so but but we we've developed a
really good synergy over the years.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He calls it the alley oops, you know, where he'll
set me up.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He'll he'll start saying something and he knows that I'm
already thinking, Okay, he about to come to me.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You know, he about to come to me with the
alleyup bam.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So he he throw the line out there, bam home,
you know what I mean, And it works out beautifully. Man,
We've been together longer than most morning shows. Ten years
is a lifetime for most morning shows. They don't last
past ten years. They break it up or they you know,
So we we we're kind of a yeah, we're kind
of an anomaly in that sense.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So we no comedy tour together.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
We we did.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
We we tour together for a long time. We did
uh when we was doing Ricky Smiley and Friends. But
you gotta understand Ricky, like he's at a different level.
He started on even doing comedy ten years before I
stepped on the stage. Since twelve years before I ever
stepped on the stage, I didn't started delay in the game.
So and he did death Jam. He's host a comic view, like,
he's done a lot of stuff. So he's he's here,
(15:36):
and I'm like, you know, so basically, the money don't
battles out on them show. Like if we do a
show together, you know, it's like Ricky and you know,
it's like Ricky Hey, So it's like Ricky Smiley Special.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And that's how the checks be Riggy Smiley Special.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So I'd be better off just doing my own to
get my own, you know, because it's gonna be money.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
He get paid, ain't nothing left they you know, they
pay him with a night. They got to check. They
gotta go to his accountants. They just pay me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
They be come on, do the cigar box. Yeah, we
got you right here. Pay you out a concession stand.
They paying me out a concession stand money. I'm like, ship,
I don't need to do these to.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Hell, do my own special. Man.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Y'all got to show up so I could blow up
comedian special k dot com. Hit that hit that comedian
special k dot com. So that's the website to get
them tickets?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Radio? Yeah, you have sponsors, you have How how do
you stay from the council culture side because.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You you don't go over the line, you know, yeah,
you learned how to dance on the line. And in
all these years, I've gotten one email from upstairs. I've
gotten one email from upstairs where the VP of operations
hit me up and said, are you serious with like
eight question marks?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
And you know, you know, I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, you remember when the big tsunami happened over in
Indonesia or where was the big remember like two thousand
and seven eight when the big tsunami happened and it
swallowed up all them people? It was it was Indonesia,
one of one of them places. I ain't never been
that I can't pronounce. But it was one of them
foreign countries, and it was a big tsunami. A lot
(17:31):
of people died and were reporting on it that morning,
and I thought it would be funny to do a
joke that said something like, and I try to remember
it exactly, it said something like, the the government has
put out a statement asking black people to please stop
calling the FDA because a lot of black people are
calling the FDA saying that a lot of people were
(17:54):
killed by you know, salami, and that we shouldn't be
eating salami right now because the salamon we killed a
lot of people. And and the FDA wants black people
to stop tying up their phone lines worried about salami
because and they said.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh, it wasn't salami, it was a tsunami.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But and and and the VP and our producer came
in and said, what the what they're still finding bodies?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
They are still finding I'm like, it ain't in America,
So what it like like there's still people, man, they
are still people. But that's when I was kind of new,
you know, I was still you know, yeah. So so
now I've learned.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Really really well how to how to get right up
to that line and just step back.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I stepped back from it right before I step over it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah with Gary bag Oh yeah, instead of six Flags.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, it was yeah, see you gotta you gotta yeah,
I said, I said, I said, yeah, the make a
Wish Foundation.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I said. There was a there was a mix up
when to make a Wish foundation.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Some kids had called the station and said that they really,
you know, wanted before they died, they really wanted to
see six Flags, and instead the station sent Gary and
five of his friends over there. They sent Gary and
five of his friends to the hospital because there was
a typo.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
There was a typo on the letter request and they
thought it said.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
They didn't say, they left then l out, and so
they sent Gary and some of his See how I
did that?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
See I never said the word. I never said the word.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Let it go from there. That's how you do that,
That's how you do it. Yeah, I gotta bring that back.
It's been about five or six years and Gary and
five of his friends showed up because they thought the
kids wanted to see six.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
So do Gary take offense to that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The reason it works is because Gary and I are
really good friends and he knows I'm not coming from
it like the community, Like I don't get no flag
from the community because they know I come at it
with a with a degree of of you know, I
come at it with love, like I don't hate nobody.
And when you when you come at it and you're
not being hateful and you're not being mean spirited, people
(20:15):
receive it different.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Like there's a whole bit in my set.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Where I talk about I gotta you know, I've been
married twenty eight years and I got an ex boyfriend
in Atlanta because I was dating the dude when me
and my wife had split up for about three or
four months and I met this I met a guy
that I thought was cool and we hung out a
couple of times, and it wasn't until like the fourth
time we hung out that I realized that I'm like,
(20:40):
wait whoa, I'm like yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It was like I'm like, wait man, and it was
just a conversation were having.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Now I'm like, because I'm in Atlanta, you know, and
even thirty seventh straight dudes living Atlanta. And after the
fourth time we hung out, I realized, wait man just
think we dating, Like he think we go together. And
I had to cut him off, and he's like, oh,
so that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Ain't no more us. It was never us, broad bruh,
it was never us. There was listen.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, I went with you to the New Edition concert. Yes,
you held my hand a little bit during can You
Stand the Rain? But I felt like it was just
a moment, you know what I'm saying. I didn't take
it serious, man. I mean I didn't hold his hand back.
He was he had his hand on my finger. I
didn't hold it back.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I felt like he just needed you know, I mean,
can You Stand the Rain? That's a serious song. So
so yeah, so we kind of broke up.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And honestly, if you tell people that we used to date,
I can't really say, lie, I got to explain that
to my son, like, yes, son, I got I got that.
So so I keep it real, I keep it a stack,
you know what I mean. So, so for a minute,
I was a part of the community. I guess I'm
part of the LBTV. I was like eight percent, eight
(21:56):
ten percent there, you know, But you know, I'm mad
enough to accept that it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
At least I went back home. I went back to
my wife. Yeah, he ain't getting none. Put it that way.
Yeah we dated, We ain't getting none. How about that?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, you ain't got no pictures of me taking a
shower in your bathroom, So I still want Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Man, what has been the most remember more from your
career so far?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh? Man? Honestly, man, it wasn't the Kevin Hart thing,
even though it was two things.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The first time I really bombed and the first time
I won something when I first started out my first
year in I won the Deaf Comedy Jam, the Deaf
Comedy Jam, bud Light I think it was the Buthse.
(22:58):
It was the butt Wise of Deaf Comedy Jam Comedy
competition and I won that and I was so excited. Well,
I want two things. I won that and then I
want a chance to go on Last Comic Standing. I
beat out a lot of people in the in the
Southeastern region, and I beat out a lot of people
with the bud Light. But the butt light thing, I mean,
the butuve Wisers thing was big because at the time
(23:20):
I didn't even know I was really good, and I
don't think I.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Was good looking back, but I was just better than
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But that stood out because I got a they gave
me the big, you know, the big printed out check
for five hundred dollars, and I just thought like, wow,
this is this is cool, Like I can really do this.
The other time was when I bombed, And we tell
this story on the radio a lot. Thank you Ricky
for constantly bringing it up.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But I bombed.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I was at Uptown Comedy Corners back when Earthquake had it.
Was was the owner of the club and he's the host,
and he had me go on stage one night. Yeah,
he had me go on stage one night, and I
was gonna do twenty minutes. But I didn't have twenty minutes.
I only had like seven minutes, but I was gonna
do twenty minutes. And two three minutes in, it was
just not going well. It was going really bad, and
the crowd was just quiet. It was like two hundred
(24:07):
and fifty people. Everybody was just quiet, like it would
have been better if they booed, but when they don't
even care enough to boot, when they just sitting there
looking at you like this, and all I could hear
it was so quiet. All I could hear was the
the dishes being washed whack in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I could hear.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I can hear glasses tinkling and silverware being put in
the dish washing. All you could hear was the kitchen sounds.
It was like, wow, man, that's why that's quiet.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
That's a different.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That funeral home quiet. That funeral home eleven thirty night quiet.
But you know, in the funeral home and the left
thirty at night, you don't hear shit, at least I
don't think so. I haven't been at the funeral home
left dirty. I try to be, but if I'm in
the funeral home of the left dirty, I'm gonna trust me.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I'm a customer. I'm like, I'm a resident at that point. Shit,
I ain't just gonna be in there. That's neither he
nor that. I don't know a week man. Yeah, anyway, Damn,
I hold somebody.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I hope somebody see this and come to my damn show,

Speaker 1 (26:11):
They don't know if it's a brand new suit. But
that's some black people shit right there.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Black people know we do some unnecessary shit. We would
go buy a new suit to be in front of
people they ain't never seen us before.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
What is that about?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
White black people get dressed up to be in the audience.
Black people the black audience would be the best dressed audiences.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Negro white people go out to a concert.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
They got on a T shirt, dirty jeans, la stuff,
you know, dirty six sneaks.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They don't care because they in the audience. Sta ain't
on sand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Black people would buy a whole new outfit, shoes, jewelry, fresh,
aircut everything. You're sitting in section eight hundred and sixty.
You three and a half miles from the stage, seventy
five feet up with a new your ass fresh though,
(27:01):
because you know what Black people live for, that concessions
when they when it's when it's when it's in a mission.
Oh yeah, it's going down. It is going down. But
people come out, man, bring your people. Uh, guys, bring
your girls, ladies, bring you guys.

I like to tell guys, you don't take your side
to a premium event. You take your side piece to
open mic on a Wednesday night somewhere. You you take
your side piece to a premium Saturday night show. You
are a dirt bag, like you a real piece of
like for real. That's like, like, yeah, how how could
(27:37):
you take your side piece? To a p You don't
take your side piece to see Beyonce. You take your
side piece to see special Kelly Price or somebody like. No,

Yeah, that's a key Key Watt on a Tuesday night
at a bar. That's when you take your side piece too,
take your side to see Beyonce. The hell is wrong
with you? Dirty best? I hope you get caught.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
What comedians influenced your Coverty career?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
None of them? I don't like. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Chris Rock early on Bring the Pain, Bring the Pain
was was was really you know, the excited like when
I saw Chris Rock do Bring the Pain, like you know,
just the swagger and and the movement on the stage
and the just the leather and the like, it was
just like it was dope. And the way he delivered
with that energy. I really enjoyed that, believe it or not.
(28:39):
George Colin man, I'm a big George Calin fan. I'm
a big Louis c k fan, huge Eddie Murphy fan.
Of course Chappelle I mean, but of course they didn't
influence me. Was at the time when I started, it
was really Chris Rock was who I was paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You know, I really just liked his style. The Hughley.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I appreciated his style, and I try to you know,
I think I incorporate a little bit of kind of
everybody on my stage show. When you come across, that's likable.
When people like you, you tend like I don't fingers crossed.
I don't bomb like I do. I tell people I
don't bomb.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I don't have shows.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why bomb even on a show where where it doesn't
go well, like I did a show at a ASHU
Alabama State, me and Marvin Hunter. As a matter of fact,
the opener for the Saturday night show this show Alabama.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
State five six years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I don't like college shows because I don't like people
under twenty five. I don't like young people. They tension span.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Too short of you in a couple of weeks. But
a homecoming I.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Don't mind doing.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Now if it's an alumni show, that's different. The community
is coming out, but for the kids because they got
a short attention span, and I don't do like they
want to see you.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Hunting on the chair. They want to talk about weed
and dick like that's what they.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
It just didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It just wasn't going well and it was just flat,
you know what I mean. So that's the closest I've
come to bombing in the last I don't know, twenty years. Yeah,
you know, I don't deal with hecklers, which is cool
because Don D. C Curry, good friend of mine and
one of my mentors told me. He said, a long
time ago, they say, hey, man, if you keep talking
and you stay interesting, you ain't gonna get heckled.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They listening to what you're talking about. He said, when
you get heckled, that's your fault. I mean, you ain't
saying shit.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
They tried to live it up the show because what
you talk about ain't nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
So what advice would you give you a young comedian
just want to come up in a game that want
to be.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Or to a young writer, Well, the games that changed now.
You know, it's all about social media now, man, it's
all about followers.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's all about you know.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Putting out content. It's all about that. So for the
younger comics, if I was a young if I was
a young if I was thirty right now, I would
focus on to my social media. Getting this proficient in
building social media to build that following is possible. But
you know, just it's okay to have influences, it's okay
(31:12):
to have people who inspire you, but try to find
your own lane.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
In comedy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
The thing that's gonna pay off is is is speaking
in your own voice, speaking in your truth, letting people
see who you really are. Because when you leave my
show Saturday night, you gonna know, you gonna know who
I am. I'm not just a dude out there saying
stuff to sound funny, like you're gonna know something about me.
And as a comic, when people know you, the thing
(31:38):
that made the greats great Richard Pryor, we knew Richard Pryor,
like we knew Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy. We knew Eddie Murphy.
You knew how he came up, you knew about his
his you know, you knew something about him. And the
comics who just say stuff to sound funny, I mean, yeah,
you can. You can rip a crowd for thirty minutes,
but once or for an hour, but once they leave,
(31:59):
what do they remember about you? May leave them with
something to remember, whether it was a bit, whether it
was a joke, whether it was just you and and
and what they learned about you. You know, you want
people to say, you want people to identify with you,
and you want people to feel.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Like bonded with you. Address social issues I do.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I'm on the fence about how much I want to
do right now on that because things are so a
little you know, things are really kind of crazy right now.
I do political humor obviously, if you listen to me already,
you know I'm really into politics. But man, everything's so
heavy right now. Everything's so heavy right now, and everything
(32:42):
done is kind of been done.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Like, what more can you say about Trump? What more
can you say about Biden?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Morgan?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Trump is stupid, Biden is old, you know. I mean,
it's really just not really nowhere else to go with that.
So if I don't see nowhere to go with it,
then you know, I'm just I just leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I remember Eddie Murphy and Richard Parford started comedy was
like this big old magic trick, and people everybody didn't
think they can do. Come they look at companies like magic,
and now everybody does companies. How do you think company
has changed over the last thirty forty years.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I mean the game opened up, you know. I think
Death Comedy.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Jam opened up the game before it made black audiences
realized that black people could be funny, you know, and
it was okay for black folks to be funny. Death
Jam was the biggest thing that happened to comedy. Like
I came along after that, but Depth Jam was the
still to this day, the number one rated show that
(33:38):
was like ever on TV.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I think.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It let people know that, you know, that comedy was
a thing that we could do, because you gotta understand,
in the eighties, you know, stand up comedy wasn't a
big thing, you know, at least not especially not in
our community. You know, we had four or five comics
that you can name, but for the most part, it
was a white man.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
So you know, I think Depth Jam DT it just
opened it up and made everybody feel like you know,
and that ain't always a good thing, you know, because
everybody think they can get on stage and do this shit.
Everybody get on stage and they just mimic what they've
seen other people do. And I'm down for everybody chasing
their dream. But you know, like I said, find your
(34:21):
own lane. Don't be afraid to speak in your own
voice and develop your own.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Your own thing and be authentic. You know what I'm saying,
don't don't just be one of them dudes.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Is just like you said, Like I said, you're just
doing shit and saying shit to try to sound funny,
you know, because the people see through that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
People ain't crazy. People see through that, you know, talk
about things that really that like like I take things
that really happen to me and I elaborate on them.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
What I said about the whole dating to do like
that comes from a real situation, That comes from I
take a little bit of a real situation and then
I just add to it.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I expand on it.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, shit was kind of Yeah. I hung out with
a dude a couple of times, like like we're.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Cool, you know, we're positive.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Like my man, you're a good dude, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, man, man, I like the bowl man,
pull up on you know, pull up on the old man.
And you know, every time I bring up holes, he's like,
you know, you know, ain't worried about that. You know,
what should have been a clue because I'm like, man,
it's a little man. And all the girls he knew
(35:25):
was like his friends like oh she a friend, Like yeah,
that's my that's my girl. Like man like usually oh no, no, no,
nothing like that. I should have read the clues, Yeah

Man, finally famous, uh finally famous with a question mark
at the end.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And I came up with that name. I can't well.
I had another title at first, and then I set
her on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because it's a reflection of where I'm at in the game,
where I'm mad in the business, you know what I mean, Like,
I'm not here here, here's here's my level of fame,
Like to my kids. To my kids when they were younger,
I was famous. Now that they older, they're like, Okay,
you just you're just well known, bro, Like you ain't
famous because if you was famous, we you know, we
we we've been a whole different situation. But I scept
(03:00):
that because I like my level of fame. I like
where I'm at on the fame scale. Like, I'm not
famous enough that if I'm in the mall, somebody gonna
be like, oh my god, it's him. Can you oh
my god, can I get pictures with you so I
can send them to my kids?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You over the I'm not that level of fame. Okay,
that's Kevin Hart level.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Like my level of fame is if I'm in the hood,
mall anywhere, at least one person gonna point at me
and be like, hey, but don't tell me damn.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And then they gonna call me the wrong name. They
gonna call me somebody else but Rock.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But hold on, I know you ain't the brad like
who is, Like, I'm the third most famous two I'm
the fourth most famous person on the morning show. I'm
the third most famous person who graduated from my high
school that's guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I'm the most famous person in my neighborhood. That's
for damn show.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
My level of fame is I'm situationally famous, you know,
situationally famous. That means that in any at any given time,
I'm the most famous person.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
In that situation.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Like, if I leave here and go to Dollar General,
chances are I'm the most famous person that's been in
that Dollar General that day. If I leave here and
go to the car wash, chances are I'm the most
famous person vacuuming out my.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Car wow that day.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's my level of fame. See, I'm not trying to
convince myself that I'm really famous, like you know, I mean,
because I'm not. But it's all good because I'm good.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I like my level of famou If I was any
more famous, I would have so many problems because, see,
famous people, it's hard to have skeletons in your closet.
The skeleton Dan's down the hallway when you're famous. But
right now, all the shit I don't need nobody to
know is where it needs to be. And me and
my wife get in an argument at cracker Barrel. Don't
(04:54):
nobody care, But If I'm out on the date with
a girl that used to be a boy, everybody gonna
know about that. So I am at that level of fame.
If I end up with a TG somewhere, yeah, that's
gonna come out for some reason. Yeah, it's gonna be
hard hard to hide that. Not that I would, I'm
just saying, but if I did not, there is anytthing
(05:16):
wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
If anybody is out to that, I want to look.
I don't want to get canceled.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
If anybody's into that, that's that's fine, That's that's your thing,
do you So.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
What what do you fans expect for? What do you
expect for the cover?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:29):

It's my thing. Nobody else. My executive producer, mister Ryan Brown,
very good friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
He started off.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
He was just a fan, like maybe twelve years ago.
Used to come to the show and watch me. When
I was hosting at Uptown Comedy Corner in Atlanta. Him
and his wife used to come out. They love my comedy,
they love what I did. He said, hey, man, one
day we're gonna work together. We're gonna do some things.
He got into the legal profession, made a whole lot
of money. I'm just gonna put his business out there.
And he came to me and said, hey man, you
(06:47):
need to do a comedy special and I'm gonna I'm
gonna produce it. I'm gonna executive produce it. I said, okay,
say let's so we decided on Birmingham. We were thinking
about Cleveland, we were thinking about Saint Louis, we were
thinking about Baltimore, and we sat it on Birmingham. It's
not that far from Atlanta. I get a lot of
love in Birmingham. I've been you know, people here know me.
(07:08):
So I've been doing my thing here and I just
want to get let people see that I'm not just
the funny guy on the radio with the quick lines
and whatever and the characters and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I need people to see the Hey, no, I really
do this, like I really like.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Stand up is what I do. That's my job, that's
my gig, and I've been doing it for a long time.
I've been doing it for a long time, since nineteen
ninety eight. I think I don't even know how many
years that is. But I've been doing it since then,
and I'm pretty damn good at it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I ain't gonna lie. I'm pretty good at that. Man.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Man, So how'd you come up for this material for
this special?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
My life? You know, my life? Man? Just I talk.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm very open in my comedy. I talk about my marriage,
I talk about my marriage problems. I talk about my kids.
I talk about coming to grips with getting older, you know,
because that's the thing, like like when you hit fifty,
you know, you start thinking about different stuff, Like shit
hit different when you fifty, man, Like your body changes,
(08:09):
Like you don't pee loud no more like when you
twenty five, you pee loud. Like when you twenty five
and you go in the bathroom to pee in the morning,
you waking somebody up.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You pee at fifty, it might not even make no noise,
like for some reason that prostate. Just get weak after it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And it don't matter how good you look on the outside,
dot matter how nice your clothes is, no matter how
much you go work out, that being get weak at
the fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, you can't eat the same things at the fifty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't do Taco Tuesday unless I'm ready for Wicked
Wednesday because Taco Tuesday mean wicked Wednesday. That if I
go to Taco Bell, I got to order my food
and go in the bathroom and tell them bring it
in here.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Just bring I'm already be sitting down.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Just yeah, just bringing in here so I could save
myself a trip, because that's how fast it's gonna go.
But you know, you think about you started getting gray man,
like you know, and you can run from it. You
can just for me and the shit all day, but
eventually it's gonna come. And with gray you get that wisdom.
You know, people say, hey, man with gray hair is
(09:09):
a sign of wisdom. So that means my balls are geniuses.
That might have been too much to share. I don't
know if I probably shouldn't have payd it that visual.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's just me.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's like, guys, I mean wow, but like seriously, So yeah,
So to ask your question, man, my material comes from
my real life. I talk about things that annoy me,
things that get on my nerd, like things piss you off,
like when I'm fifty, Like you're a younger man. When
you hit fifty, it's gonna be a lot of things
to pitch you off. And it could be things that
(09:40):
ain't got nothing to do with you. Sure I go
on the dollar tree. I get upset if I see
somebody return to something because I'm like, why the fuck
are you returning something that you paid a dollar for?
That means you bought it. You got home, realized this
flashlight don't work. You got back in your put your
(10:00):
seat belt back on, draw back three miles to the
dollar tree, stopped it, four five lights, risked having an accident,
could have got pulled over.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Got a ticket.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You did all that to come back in the store,
get back in line and explain to this cashier that
you need to return this item that you paid four quarters.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Me and get your ass out of this line. Talking
about you return to something that you paid a dollar for.
That bothers me. That's just wonderfull small things that bothered me.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, you know, I don't like I don't I
don't like like like it bothers me that people go
to like like my daughters. You know, she's twenties, she's
in twenties, right, So, uh, she was going out one night?
I said, well, she said she was going to the
club with her fan for her birthday. I said, what
time are you leaving? She said, I'm start getting dressed
by eleven thirty. I'm start getting dressed at leven thirty.
(10:52):
What kind of what kind of hole club is this?
Do no good girls go to the club that it
let them? That's a whole club like that that ain't
no wholesome. She said that I'm not going to bibles
that are going to a club, she said, you just old, like, yeah,
cause the clubs I go to they close at eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Shit, ten thirty. They putting chairs up on the tables
and vacuum. Shit.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't go to no club to stay open the
three and it because like when you're twenty something, you
look for the club to stay open the longest you
remember them to day. You look for the club that
all right, who stay open till four? Who stay open
till five? Shit, I don't know at four o'clock. If
I believe in my house at three o'clock in the morning,
it's because that bitch on fire, my house gonna have
to be on fire for me to walk outside. I
(11:36):
don't know what my driveway feel like at three am.
Ain't no reason, ain't nowhere in the hell. I don't
like nobody calling me late. Don't call me past nine thirty.
Any call coming to my phone at eleven o'clock. Somebody
in jail, somebody in the hospital, or somebody did them.
First two I can't really do nothing about that. Last one,
(11:57):
I damn sure can't do nothing about it. Call your
pastor called me in the morning. Leave me a text,
because whoever died at eleven o'clock, they still gonna be
dead at nine a m. I don't care who it is.
Mama Daddy. Cousin said, look, call don't call me at
eleven o'clock. Tell me you know your mama pass she'll
be dead in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Wow, ship that sound cold? But that my line? Am
I line, am my line. She's still gonna be Dad.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She ain't gonna be no less dead. If I wake
up now I'm hollering and crying, interrupted my damn sleep.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You could have let me sleep. You could have let
me sleep through that night without knowing big Mama Dad.
I didn't need to know that. If I go to
I don't need that on my spirit. If I go
to sleep the morning, she's still gonna be dead. Okay,
that's enough.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
One man. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't know. I just I got carried away. I'm sorry,
I really gotta know it.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
IM sitting if you're talking.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I really I literally got mad, got mad, just that fan.
I got mad.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
There's a co host on the nationally syndicated Ricky Smile
in the morning show. You used to making people laugh daily, right,
how does perform a comedy on stage compared to your
radio work.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean, it's two totally different muscles. Man, It's like
it's like it's like doing the leg press versus curls.
Like it's two totally different muscles. Funny on the radio is.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You have to paint a picture. You have to paint
a picture, and it's all about timing.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, theater of the mind, it's all about timing and
all about you gotta understand that while people are listening
to whatever you're saying is funny, they're driving, they're working,
they're doing whatever. They can't see you. So facial expressions
don't matter. Body movements don't matter. You got to learn
how to paint a picture. Whereas comedy on stage it's
all about they can see you.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's visual, it's facial expressions, it's body movements. It's all
this and that.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You know what I'm saying, you selling it a different
kind of way. So some comedians don't do well on
the radio and vice versa. And some some people are
funny on the radio, but they can never do stand
up because they can't work both of those muscles.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So when you when you're able to work both of
those muscles.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
One, You're gonna always have a job because I'm the
here writer for the com I'm the heare writer for
the morning show, so I you know, right, and have
you know, created some of the funniest bits that we've
done since we've been on the air fifteen years. You know,
myself and Ricky we're the comedy backbone of the show.
So you know, he's like, it's like, you know, he's
the he's the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm the O C. But I'm also the backup quarterback.
So just you the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And you the backup so you know, you know what
I'm saying and so but but we we've developed a
really good synergy over the years.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He calls it the alley oops, you know, where he'll
set me up.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He'll he'll start saying something and he knows that I'm
already thinking, Okay, he about to come to me.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You know, he about to come to me with the
alleyup bam.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So he he throw the line out there, bam home,
you know what I mean, And it works out beautifully. Man,
We've been together longer than most morning shows. Ten years
is a lifetime for most morning shows. They don't last
past ten years. They break it up or they you know,
So we we we're kind of a yeah, we're kind
of an anomaly in that sense.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So we no comedy tour together.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
We we did.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
We we tour together for a long time. We did
uh when we was doing Ricky Smiley and Friends. But
you gotta understand Ricky, like he's at a different level.
He started on even doing comedy ten years before I
stepped on the stage. Since twelve years before I ever
stepped on the stage, I didn't started delay in the game.
So and he did death Jam. He's host a comic view, like,
he's done a lot of stuff. So he's he's here,
(15:36):
and I'm like, you know, so basically, the money don't
battles out on them show. Like if we do a
show together, you know, it's like Ricky and you know,
it's like Ricky Hey, So it's like Ricky Smiley Special.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And that's how the checks be Riggy Smiley Special.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So I'd be better off just doing my own to
get my own, you know, because it's gonna be money.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
He get paid, ain't nothing left they you know, they
pay him with a night. They got to check. They
gotta go to his accountants. They just pay me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
They be come on, do the cigar box. Yeah, we
got you right here. Pay you out a concession stand.
They paying me out a concession stand money. I'm like, ship,
I don't need to do these to.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Hell, do my own special. Man.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Y'all got to show up so I could blow up
comedian special k dot com. Hit that hit that comedian
special k dot com. So that's the website to get
them tickets?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Radio? Yeah, you have sponsors, you have How how do
you stay from the council culture side because.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You you don't go over the line, you know, yeah,
you learned how to dance on the line. And in
all these years, I've gotten one email from upstairs. I've
gotten one email from upstairs where the VP of operations
hit me up and said, are you serious with like
eight question marks?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
And you know, you know, I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, you remember when the big tsunami happened over in
Indonesia or where was the big remember like two thousand
and seven eight when the big tsunami happened and it
swallowed up all them people? It was it was Indonesia,
one of one of them places. I ain't never been
that I can't pronounce. But it was one of them
foreign countries, and it was a big tsunami. A lot
(17:31):
of people died and were reporting on it that morning,
and I thought it would be funny to do a
joke that said something like, and I try to remember
it exactly, it said something like, the the government has
put out a statement asking black people to please stop
calling the FDA because a lot of black people are
calling the FDA saying that a lot of people were
(17:54):
killed by you know, salami, and that we shouldn't be
eating salami right now because the salamon we killed a
lot of people. And and the FDA wants black people
to stop tying up their phone lines worried about salami
because and they said.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh, it wasn't salami, it was a tsunami.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But and and and the VP and our producer came
in and said, what the what they're still finding bodies?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
They are still finding I'm like, it ain't in America,
So what it like like there's still people, man, they
are still people. But that's when I was kind of new,
you know, I was still you know, yeah. So so
now I've learned.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Really really well how to how to get right up
to that line and just step back.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I stepped back from it right before I step over it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah with Gary bag Oh yeah, instead of six Flags.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, it was yeah, see you gotta you gotta yeah,
I said, I said, I said, yeah, the make a
Wish Foundation.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I said. There was a there was a mix up
when to make a Wish foundation.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Some kids had called the station and said that they really,
you know, wanted before they died, they really wanted to
see six Flags, and instead the station sent Gary and
five of his friends over there. They sent Gary and
five of his friends to the hospital because there was
a typo.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
There was a typo on the letter request and they
thought it said.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
They didn't say, they left then l out, and so
they sent Gary and some of his See how I
did that?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
See I never said the word. I never said the word.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Let it go from there. That's how you do that,
That's how you do it. Yeah, I gotta bring that back.
It's been about five or six years and Gary and
five of his friends showed up because they thought the
kids wanted to see six.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
So do Gary take offense to that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The reason it works is because Gary and I are
really good friends and he knows I'm not coming from
it like the community, Like I don't get no flag
from the community because they know I come at it
with a with a degree of of you know, I
come at it with love, like I don't hate nobody.
And when you when you come at it and you're
not being hateful and you're not being mean spirited, people
(20:15):
receive it different.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Like there's a whole bit in my set.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Where I talk about I gotta you know, I've been
married twenty eight years and I got an ex boyfriend
in Atlanta because I was dating the dude when me
and my wife had split up for about three or
four months and I met this I met a guy
that I thought was cool and we hung out a
couple of times, and it wasn't until like the fourth
time we hung out that I realized that I'm like,
(20:40):
wait whoa, I'm like yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It was like I'm like, wait man, and it was
just a conversation were having.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Now I'm like, because I'm in Atlanta, you know, and
even thirty seventh straight dudes living Atlanta. And after the
fourth time we hung out, I realized, wait man just
think we dating, Like he think we go together. And
I had to cut him off, and he's like, oh,
so that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Ain't no more us. It was never us, broad bruh,
it was never us. There was listen.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, I went with you to the New Edition concert. Yes,
you held my hand a little bit during can You
Stand the Rain? But I felt like it was just
a moment, you know what I'm saying. I didn't take
it serious, man. I mean I didn't hold his hand back.
He was he had his hand on my finger. I
didn't hold it back.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I felt like he just needed you know, I mean,
can You Stand the Rain? That's a serious song. So
so yeah, so we kind of broke up.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And honestly, if you tell people that we used to date,
I can't really say, lie, I got to explain that
to my son, like, yes, son, I got I got that.
So so I keep it real, I keep it a stack,
you know what I mean. So, so for a minute,
I was a part of the community. I guess I'm
part of the LBTV. I was like eight percent, eight
(21:56):
ten percent there, you know, But you know, I'm mad
enough to accept that it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
At least I went back home. I went back to
my wife. Yeah, he ain't getting none. Put it that way.
Yeah we dated, We ain't getting none. How about that?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, you ain't got no pictures of me taking a
shower in your bathroom, So I still want Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Man, what has been the most remember more from your
career so far?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh? Man? Honestly, man, it wasn't the Kevin Hart thing,
even though it was two things.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The first time I really bombed and the first time
I won something when I first started out my first
year in I won the Deaf Comedy Jam, the Deaf
Comedy Jam, bud Light I think it was the Buthse.
(22:58):
It was the butt Wise of Deaf Comedy Jam Comedy
competition and I won that and I was so excited. Well,
I want two things. I won that and then I
want a chance to go on Last Comic Standing. I
beat out a lot of people in the in the
Southeastern region, and I beat out a lot of people
with the bud Light. But the butt light thing, I mean,
the butuve Wisers thing was big because at the time
(23:20):
I didn't even know I was really good, and I
don't think I.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Was good looking back, but I was just better than
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But that stood out because I got a they gave
me the big, you know, the big printed out check
for five hundred dollars, and I just thought like, wow,

have been better if they booed, but when they don't
even care enough to boot, when they just sitting there

are a dirt bag, like you a real piece of
like for real. That's like, like, yeah, how how could
(27:37):
you take your side piece? To a p You don't
take your side piece to see Beyonce. You take your
side piece to see special Kelly Price or somebody like. No,
I'm not throwing no, I'm just saying you take your
side piece to see like you know keyki Wiatt.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, that's a key Key Watt on a Tuesday night
at a bar. That's when you take your side piece too,
take your side to see Beyonce. The hell is wrong
with you? Dirty best? I hope you get caught.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
What comedians influenced your Coverty career?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
None of them? I don't like. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Chris Rock early on Bring the Pain, Bring the Pain
was was was really you know, the excited like when
I saw Chris Rock do Bring the Pain, like you know,
just the swagger and and the movement on the stage
and the just the leather and the like, it was
just like it was dope. And the way he delivered
with that energy. I really enjoyed that, believe it or not.
(28:39):
George Colin man, I'm a big George Calin fan. I'm
a big Louis c k fan, huge Eddie Murphy fan.
Of course Chappelle I mean, but of course they didn't
influence me. Was at the time when I started, it
was really Chris Rock was who I was paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You know, I really just liked his style. The Hughley.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I appreciated his style, and I try to you know,
I think I incorporate a little bit of kind of
everybody on my stage show. When you come across, that's likable.
When people like you, you tend like I don't fingers crossed.
I don't bomb like I do. I tell people I
don't bomb.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I don't have shows.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why bomb even on a show where where it doesn't
go well, like I did a show at a ASHU
Alabama State, me and Marvin Hunter. As a matter of fact,
the opener for the Saturday night show this show Alabama.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
State five six years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I don't like college shows because I don't like people
under twenty five. I don't like young people. They tension span.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Too short of you in a couple of weeks. But
a homecoming I.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Don't mind doing.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Now if it's an alumni show, that's different. The community
is coming out, but for the kids because they got
a short attention span, and I don't do like they
want to see you.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Hunting on the chair. They want to talk about weed
and dick like that's what they.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
It just didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It just wasn't going well and it was just flat,
you know what I mean. So that's the closest I've
come to bombing in the last I don't know, twenty years. Yeah,
you know, I don't deal with hecklers, which is cool
because Don D. C Curry, good friend of mine and
one of my mentors told me. He said, a long
time ago, they say, hey, man, if you keep talking
and you stay interesting, you ain't gonna get heckled.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They listening to what you're talking about. He said, when
you get heckled, that's your fault. I mean, you ain't
saying shit.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
They tried to live it up the show because what
you talk about ain't nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
So what advice would you give you a young comedian
just want to come up in a game that want
to be.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Or to a young writer, Well, the games that changed now.
You know, it's all about social media now, man, it's
all about followers.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's all about you know.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Putting out content. It's all about that. So for the
younger comics, if I was a young if I was
a young if I was thirty right now, I would
focus on to my social media. Getting this proficient in
building social media to build that following is possible. But
you know, just it's okay to have influences, it's okay
(31:12):
to have people who inspire you, but try to find
your own lane.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
In comedy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
The thing that's gonna pay off is is is speaking
in your own voice, speaking in your truth, letting people
see who you really are. Because when you leave my
show Saturday night, you gonna know, you gonna know who
I am. I'm not just a dude out there saying
stuff to sound funny, like you're gonna know something about me.
And as a comic, when people know you, the thing
(31:38):
that made the greats great Richard Pryor, we knew Richard Pryor,
like we knew Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy. We knew Eddie Murphy.
You knew how he came up, you knew about his
his you know, you knew something about him. And the
comics who just say stuff to sound funny, I mean, yeah,
you can. You can rip a crowd for thirty minutes,
but once or for an hour, but once they leave,
(31:59):
what do they remember about you? May leave them with
something to remember, whether it was a bit, whether it
was a joke, whether it was just you and and
and what they learned about you. You know, you want
people to say, you want people to identify with you,
and you want people to feel.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Like bonded with you. Address social issues I do.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I'm on the fence about how much I want to
do right now on that because things are so a
little you know, things are really kind of crazy right now.
I do political humor obviously, if you listen to me already,
you know I'm really into politics. But man, everything's so
heavy right now. Everything's so heavy right now, and everything
(32:42):
done is kind of been done.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Like, what more can you say about Trump? What more
can you say about Biden?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Morgan?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Trump is stupid, Biden is old, you know. I mean,
it's really just not really nowhere else to go with that.
So if I don't see nowhere to go with it,
then you know, I'm just I just leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I remember Eddie Murphy and Richard Parford started comedy was
like this big old magic trick, and people everybody didn't
think they can do. Come they look at companies like magic,
and now everybody does companies. How do you think company
has changed over the last thirty forty years.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I mean the game opened up, you know. I think
Death Comedy.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Jam opened up the game before it made black audiences
realized that black people could be funny, you know, and
it was okay for black folks to be funny. Death
Jam was the biggest thing that happened to comedy. Like
I came along after that, but Depth Jam was the
still to this day, the number one rated show that
(33:38):
was like ever on TV.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I think.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It let people know that, you know, that comedy was
a thing that we could do, because you gotta understand,
in the eighties, you know, stand up comedy wasn't a
big thing, you know, at least not especially not in
our community. You know, we had four or five comics
that you can name, but for the most part, it
was a white man.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
So you know, I think Depth Jam DT it just
opened it up and made everybody feel like you know,
and that ain't always a good thing, you know, because
everybody think they can get on stage and do this shit.
Everybody get on stage and they just mimic what they've
seen other people do. And I'm down for everybody chasing
their dream. But you know, like I said, find your
(34:21):
own lane. Don't be afraid to speak in your own
voice and develop your own.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Your own thing and be authentic. You know what I'm saying,
don't don't just be one of them dudes.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Is just like you said, Like I said, you're just
doing shit and saying shit to try to sound funny,
you know, because the people see through that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
People ain't crazy. People see through that, you know, talk
about things that really that like like I take things
that really happen to me and I elaborate on them.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
What I said about the whole dating to do like
that comes from a real situation, That comes from I
take a little bit of a real situation and then
I just add to it.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I expand on it.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, shit was kind of Yeah. I hung out with
a dude a couple of times, like like we're.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Cool, you know, we're positive.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Like my man, you're a good dude, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, man, man, I like the bowl man,
pull up on you know, pull up on the old man.
And you know, every time I bring up holes, he's like,
you know, you know, ain't worried about that. You know,
what should have been a clue because I'm like, man,
it's a little man. And all the girls he knew
(35:25):
