Speaker 1 (00:03):
Boulet Care podcast. Man, we've got a special guest in here,
my guy T. K.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Kirkland.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
He's in the building.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yes, I am sir. Welcome for having my nephew.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
How has uh You've been on this huge tour with
Mike Epps going all over the country. It's been a
couple of months.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yes, I think we started in February.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
So how how's how's that? Because you've you've been on
I mean, obviously the road is nowhere you know, new
to you, But I mean this is your first arena
tour in a minute.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yes, this is my first arenator of comedy arena tour ever.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Ever, ever.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Obviously you've been on arena tours with rappers, with rappers,
I normally tour with rappers.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
But I mean, what what is it?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
How has it been? Just the reception and like obviously
it's different from like working like the ice House in Pasadena,
working the improv or I had to pretty much adjust
my time because I'm.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Used to it being about me. Yeah, and do an
hour do out there?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, I feel like you are very much. The crowd
is a part of your show.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yes, and just right here.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I had to adjust time get used to the rhythm
of trying to get everything into fifteen seventeen minutes. But
it was a great opportunity that I thank TC, Mike
GEPs and Blake for making sure that this happened for
me because I truly appreciate it and I thrive for it,
and it's something that I will honored to the day

(01:25):
I die. To be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It was it a good exercise for you too, to
just kind of be forced to be like, okay, we
got I got seventeen minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, it was interesting, you know what I'm saying, because
you try to get so much in into seventeen minutes
because you got remember forty one years in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
So it's it's it's.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
When you, when you, when you work as long as
I have, and to just it just shows experience because
some of course, sure some comedians who are doing fifteen
seventeen minutes can't do an hour and thirty minutes right
and be for phenomenal for Alan third, right, that's where

(02:03):
I wish we could do that because I think at
that time it has showed the growth that I have
as a comedian. But fifteen minutes, we all look sensational
on it and it's a good look.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I feel like Mike Gaps two is like one of
those guys that we got to He's super underrated for
some reason. I feel like we got to like put
him in these conversations when we have these conversations like, yes,
the guys from the last fifteen years, like he's.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
In that conbo.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, he's in that conbo. To see what he's done
because I knew him before the world knew him, and
to see what he's done is truly phenomenal. And I'm
just really happy to see success because everything started on
forty third French Shaw back in nineteen eighty five. And
to see what has happened right since nineteen eighty five,
before they was letting us in clubs, before we became

(02:51):
the main thing in clubs all over the world, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I want to ask you. You are an international guy,
You're overseas a lot. You got to play Paris, I
believe right, what has kind of been the because the
last year America has kind of put the world in
a blender in its own kind of weird way. What
is your experience been like being in America being abroad

(03:17):
and kind of like how do you feel like the
attitude towards us is right now based on like, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
You're a great question being knowledgeable in which I think
I am. I think they probably dislike us or see.
But because I carry myself as a man, I have
no problems and I don't go towards issues or things
that I'm really just to myself.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I hit the gym, I.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Do a lot of shopping when I'm over there, a
lot of restaurants, and I stay.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Out the way, stay out the way.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I stay out the way, saying principles that you have here,
you take over there.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Even just like in general, like being on an arena tour,
I can imagine it's like having that many people come
out and see you when like times are really hard
right now. Yes, like damn y'all wouldn't have got a babysitter. Yes,
And that's even when you do your weekend shows, it's.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like you wouldn't have got a babysitter you.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I love it, man to be in a car pulling
up seeing all the people, even though they're not there
for me yet, but eventually it will be.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
We're coming to see t K.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
In that right situation, that's that's the thing that's really
excited for me. It gives me something to thrive for
and I usually win when I want something.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm curious.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So you're in town this week, and this week is
the Netflix is a Joke week, which is it's kind
of like the Coachella of comedy. Feels like there's some
ten things going on every night all day, but you're
not out here to do any of that stuff. You
were like, Yo, I'm an indie guy. What is it about, Like,
because there is like this corporate side of the comedy world,
what is it about that world that hasn't worked for

(04:51):
you or that hasn't interested you to become a part of,
or even because I feel like you just.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Kind of do you just me? You know you're flying solo. Yeah,
you know me for a long time.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I just do me.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
It feels good that way. I don't have to get
caught up in politics. I'm gonna get have to get
caught up in confusion. I don't have to call my body.
Can I get on the show? Can I do this?
Can I do that?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I do my own thing.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
I move at my own pace, and it can work
to the comedians who are trying to do on their
own thing. You just got to have good relationships, be
in the game for a long time, treat people good,
and have discipline. And that's one thing I have, is
the discipline. Even at this age, I thrive and I
feel like I'm thirty six, thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, do you feel like because it feels like Netflix
has kind of tried to plant their flag into the
comedy world more than anybody since maybe like HBO.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Back in the day, I agree. I agree, like old HBO, Yeah,
I agree. And things I've learned in the nineties when
I used to knock on everybody's door to try to
get in and it was hard. And then when I
fell back in life, I still worked hard. Things came
to me organically, right, And that's the way I like things,

(06:05):
because it's like a woman choosing you, right when the
FEMA chooses you, you know, the situation is not that bad,
but if you're chasing her, you're going to run through obstacles.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well yeah, and I feel like, you know, this is
like whoever the chaser is will always be on the
negative side of the leverage in that that's right in
that relationship dynamic, yeap choose who want?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
What's how they say, choose to rock with the one.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
That wants you right. That that is so true and
I use that in business.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
What about for you, man, like it has been a
pretty crazy year for you? Is there a party that
misses the smaller clubs. I know you're going to get
back to those because the tor ends May twenty fourth
or May twenty third. Are you like excited to get
back into that. I am into your circuit.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I have never appreciated getting back into the clubs the
way I do now, Like I'm gonna be excited to.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Know that.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I could do longer than fifteen minutes. That everybody's coming
to see T. K. Kirkland, And like I said, it's
still a phenomenal journey to be in this type of situation.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yo, we were talking a little bit. You're always a
very You're high on financial literacy. This is something you've
always preached, whether you listen to your uh even if
you go to a comedy show, Yes, you hear people
it's like a comedy show, but it's also like a
like going to.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
School, right right, I got to teach him something it's
important to me.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
We were talking a bit off camera about Floyd. Yes,
obviously Floyd is somebody who's lives in the same city
you live in. I'm assuming he's still in Vegas, yes,
but we're kind of talking about some of his money issues,
which are, like, it's kind of crazy if you think
about how much money has gone in and out of
Floyd's hands.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Absolutely, and like some of.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
The speculation about you know, him having to give up
his price jed or him not being able to travel
or his irs. Wo was when you see a situation
like that, where do you think somebody like that goes wrong?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Hm?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I've always said for years you have to respect money.
Like I still don't believe it to this day, even
though you see it in the news. It's impossible that
Floyd is having this type of problem. I'm still hoping
that maybe it's a lie somewhere, somebody just putting that
out there for a clickbait.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
But the thing that we're all taught is to get
money right, get it, get it, get it. But nobody's
taught how to keep it. Everybody want to flex, everybody
want to do this extra. And in your twenties, thirties, forties,
even your fifties, you think people care. In your late fifties,
sixties and beyond, you realize nobody gave a fuck. Yeah,

(08:53):
nobody cares.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Especially, nobody gives a fuck about the shit that you
feel like, we thinking about cars, about the you think
about the little shit that like you're you're doing for
everyone else.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Nobody cares.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, long as you get long as you can stay healthy,
that's the flex.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Health is the flex.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, because you're sixty six, Yes, you look like you're forty.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Thank you so much. And I take it seriously.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
This morning I was up, man, two on your jumping jacks,
seventy squats, two on your push ups, all body weight stuff,
all body weight stuff this week.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, and then next week I go back to doing
nine miles a day. Hey, man, don't forget.

Speaker 1 (09:31):

or the odd socks baby, all right, And what I
love about odd socks. First of all, I don't want
to say any other socks by name, but if you're
just throwing on, you know, the good old generic tube
socks with shorts, so whatever it is ankle socks, you
ain't gonna find anything more comfortable than these odd socks

(10:46):
get you a pack and thank me later. Odd Socks
dot Com use the promo code boot leg save twenty
percent off of check out.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's like, dude, like the hardest part about being on
the road, even like I travel a lot, is just
trying to stay dialed in while on the road.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's hard. You live on the road. Yeah, I live
on the road since you was a baby.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
So you figure how when did you first figure out? Like, okay,
I have to because look if you go like, I'm
the type of guy if I go to a new town,
I'm going to try some food. Yes, I'm like, oh shit,
I'm in uh you know, I'm in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Get some lemon peppers, right right, right, right?

Speaker 3 (11:23):
So like when did when did you kind of get
the discipline, like dialed in for your health and like
you gotta remember i'men doing thisince eighty five and traveling
for you guys, was even thinking about it. I was
born in eighty seven, right, you know what I'm saying.
So when I travel, especially with other people, my joy
comes from watching them. How I used to be right

(11:43):
like Mojoe Brooks, you know, I sit back. He's the
player of the tour, you know, and he know you're
a handsome guy, you know, So he'll.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Go out and mess with the women.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
And I'm standing in the cut and I'm smiling like
an uncle, like yeah, because I remember that.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I remember that, and.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I just think that's interesting to see that. So to
see those guys do that and know that I've been
there gives me the discipline. I just go to my room,
like I don't even wait for the whole tour to
be over. When when you get off, I'm gone because.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
You already done. Seen everyone set everybody.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, I leave and I go to my room, chill,
take my clothes off and take a nice shower with
my pajamas on. Probably order some room servers, something light,
and I'm watching seeing in news they don't give it.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Take my magnesium. That's what I'm about to take my magnesium.
Go to sleep for you, t I wonder, like that's funny.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Being your age, is there like a limit to like,
like how how young is too young for you to
entertain a lady?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's a good question because you're sixty six. Yes, yes,
And I got the young girls coming out. They're hitting
me up hard and I want to say thank you too.
But it's based on character, just plant how people carry themselves.
I think that's important. I just don't like pettiness. Pettiness

(13:08):
is the worst thing you could do to me.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You know.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I had a situations I had to run to a
comedy show that came out of the blue and a
person was just upset that I guess I didn't let
them know, but it was something that happened on the fly,
and I think that person got upset or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
But I'm not the guy to you hate petty. You
always say like I always say that since I've known you.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Somebody shows signs the pettiness. It's like, yep, because things
are just so small. You can't be mad of a
little thing.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Not everything has to be a Thing's so true. Yeah,
So I tell my wife, I'm like, no, why has
everything got to be a Yeah? Not everything is a thing.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
I just want to stay happy and healthy, and obviously
I'm winning because look my situation, so I can't. I'm
not going to deviate from what has got me to
who I am today.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
So is it like, would you would you entertain a
thirty year old if you was super mature?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Too young.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
I can probably do thirty five.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thirty five is about there? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, because the young girls, when I tell them no,
they curse me out right.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Who the fuck you think you are? You need me?
You know? And I'm not getting married.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
And young lady asked me to say why you're not
getting married, and my will is already done right.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
If I really like someone, you know, I would get
them their own insurance policy. If I was rocking with
you on me, it's separately from what I'm doing with
my children and grandkids, and that would be for you.
I'll probably give somebody what three four hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, because that insurance probably the thing you've explained, like
you pretty much pay into it right every month.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
It all depends on who what kind of insurance you have.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
You know, you could just get something straight out at
my age now, to get somebody at three hundred four
hundred thousand policy will be very expensive. Sure, that's why
we tell people to get insurance while you're young. You
got to get insurance in your thirties because the premiums
are low. Because you got to remember, insurance companies is
a business. They want to make their money, you know,
and they hope that.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
You live a long.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Time so that when you do get your money, you
already paid into it. They took a loss if you
took out the life as you just posibly five hundred thousand,
you died in five months or a year, oh man,
they mad they jump through hoops to try to exactly exactly. So,
and what motivates me to to stay healthy is that

(15:33):
I don't want to be dependent on my children to
take care of me. That's a rough thing I've seen
in my whole life.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Everybody, Yeah like that.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't want to be dependent on somebody washing me,
wiping your ass, yeah, taking me to go get something
to eat.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
So I mean that's my motivation. No, that's a good motivation.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's a good motivation. And people look at me like
it's amazing to see me young. But what our ancestors
is our aunts and grandmothers. Did they stop working out?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think once you even if you're not working anymore,
once you stop becoming active, it's almost like it's almost
like you're waving a red flag to like mother nature.
I gave it and you don't even know it. So
you don't even know what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
You have to stay active and you got to keep
your muscles working.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Like I said, I do nine miles.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
A day running, walk walking, So what's that take you
an hour?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
And it takes me about an hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
And then I do after I eat, I do another
three miles in the evening and then I do that
every day.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean, that's all you really need to do. So
you need to do Yeah, that's like what that's ten
thousand steps at least.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely, And you feel good about accomplishments.
That's a great feeling for sure, when you're accomplish saying.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
And you get stuff done while on the treadmill, you
get stuff done. You can take calls, you could.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, I know I'm not doing a trademill.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Or even if.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, it's even better to walk around.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, I'm working around the treadmill is a little border
hell out of me.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Sure, But to walk around.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
I'm in a beautiful area where I live, so to
see the mountains and just the beautiful trees and all
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
You appreciate what you've done with your life. Yeah, I
like that. I saw you post.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Some kids are fatherless because their mother wanted to prove
a point.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Isn't that deep? Yes, that is deep.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
That post was meant to see everybody's experiences in life.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Some women say, oh, look at the.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Man trying to get out his responsibilities. Some people say,
I'm going through that situation right now. Some women do
hold the child against the man because it's about money.
Sometimes it's a one nice stand and the bond is
not as tight as you think it should be. At
the end of the day, I put things on my

(17:54):
social media for discussion, things that need to be talked about.
And when someone says something stupid, what I say to
myself is that person hasn't lived long enough to understand though,
doesn't have wisdom, because see, I've been thirty two, I've
been forty, I've been fifty five, and but most people

(18:15):
have not been sixty six. So I could see you
think that you might know what you're talking about, but
you could only know that I'm right if you make
it to my age right.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's the advantage I have on everybody.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Is it crazy for you to still encounter people that
are in your age barometer that are still just like,
ridiculously like immature. Sometimes I'll meet old people like, you know, true,
you met my old pizza partner in here, the crazy
guy who's fifty six now, I think, and it's like
you might as well be nineteen.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yes, you know what I'm saying. Some people and I'm
just like, yo, how is it?

Speaker 1 (18:51):
How do people go through so much life and so
figure out to like let dumb shit go.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Isn't this amazing if you look at them, like, who've
aged you?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Exactly? Who raised you?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
And I say that all the time, and you realize
there's nothing you could do.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know, we live in the world of.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Betrayal, lies, whitewash in the sense denied, deny, deny, deny, deny.
And when you got leadership like that, it makes the
regular people just do it that much.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
More better and easy.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Right, And you can't get caught up because if the
drive you're crazy, because knowledge is a gifferent, a curse, right,
So you're the knowledge of a person. So when you
travel places you kind of irritated because you know how
it's supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, but I also like for me, I think I
got to this point, maybe like four or five years ago,
where I just like just stopped like the shit I
used to react to. Yes, you have to just don't
react because if the drive you're crazy, it's like it's
no point, Like there's no point, there's nothing you can
do out of side, out of mind.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
It's it the way the world is today.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, it's like I'm or you can just take care
of your own control.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I have control.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's what you got, controlled by mind. There's nothing else,
nothing else, nothing else.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Uh, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I just saw my boy just went through this issue
with his lady. What are your thoughts on being being
in a relationship with someone and your significant other having
a friend of the opposite sex that like they go
out to dinner with them, maybe every once in a while,

(20:32):
they go get lunch.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
No, that's uncomfortable for man.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, do you think there's a double standard on either side?
Like if a man has a friend that's a female
that he goes and sees every once in a while.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
It goes what's good for the goose says? They say
good for the gander? Right, if I'm with someone, I
wouldn't do that to her. And if a guy his
girl does that then and he's against it, he should
respect that. She should respect it and say no this,
I can't do that because I respect my.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Significant other.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
It's all about respect and making a person feel comfortable.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
And everyone's got a different different shit they're comfortable with.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yes, you gotta be comfortable.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Nobody wants another girl went out to dinner with another
perspecialcy super gorgeous right, Like I did a post long
time ago, I said, when your guy has company over
the house to watch the football game, his.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Woman should leave the room.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
A lot of young people's like no, we family, I
should be there and them telling ladies. If your man
never said bitch, leave the room, you ugly.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
If your man has never said, oh, you don't know,
automatically bit you ugly.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Because every real man will make sure that his girl
is not amongst the guys, especially if you're extremely attractive,
because guys are watching you, you know, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
You're attractive.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
But why put ourselves in a situation where drinking is involved.
Somebody might say something wrong mm hmm, something something might
slip up, or you're too comfortable, and somehow you go
use the bathroom and the motherfucker's on switch or flip
numbers or whatever.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Anything can happen.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, I think too, like, if you're like an attractive female,
the chances of you having a straight guy friend who
doesn't want to fuck you if given the chance, are
probably close to zero.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Absolutely. Now that doesn't mean that it's gonna happen, yes.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Or that that person's ever going to show that card.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yes, but we're men only way. You don't feel that
way if the female you hanging with.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Is ugly bitch exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
But if you got a fat ass.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Nice titties, your skin is fucking growing and just looking
at you can turn you on.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
You got your motherfucking by that's hilarious out your damn.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
And there's like a difference too, Like there's like work
colleagues that like you gotta have like okay, yo, yeah
that's different, different.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
You know, And sometimes women have what they called job wives,
job husbands, work wife, work wife. Yeah yeah, man, shit,
I don't know. I'm glad I never had to deal
with those type of things in life, right, because you
got to know.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Who you are.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Do you feel is there is there ever a point
in time where you are where you regret not getting married?
Hell fucking know, or like you ever think like day
there was like one that got away.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Any woman I've ever dated, because she could have been
the one pretty much, right, But you got to sacrifice
something in life for success.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, that's true, you have to.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
I had to sacrifice relationships because there's no way I'm
giving this up. I don't want to have to answer
to someone for someone to have me in their life.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
They got to know that.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
I want them to know that if I got to
go do something, I'm gonna go do it. It ain't gonna
be no other female involved. I just want to go
do it, and I don't have to explain myself if
I got to go to Paris, I got to go
to Berlin. I want to be able to go without
someone saying to me, I want to go with you.

(24:09):
But my stuff is usually planned right years in advance,
months in advance.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
That's how I just moved.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
And I know that I have to be able to
do what I want to do when I need to
do it.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I want to ask you this. There was there's a
lot of talk about this last election being swayed in
the favor of Trump through a lot of comedians. Yes
that let's say, you know, they'll say that, you know
Andrew Schulz or Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn, and I'm
fans of all those guys, but they platformed him. He

(24:46):
came on the show kind of humanized Trump. Yes, do
you how do you feel like because I feel like
that's also maybe a bit of a cop out because
it's like, well, had we like ran a better can
or a more effective campaign. It wouldn't matter.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yes, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes, and all those places extended the same invite to Kamala. Absolutely,
But I am curious, like, what are your thoughts about
just kind of that whole narrative about comedians having so
much power in these podcasts, having so much power that
if you ask certain people, they'll say that they essentially
got Trump elected.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
What's interesting to me is that people don't take the
time to have discernment. When you understand life, you can
tell who a person is within.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Five minutes. True. If you know characters, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
People, you'll see tics, people have ticks or little Yeah,
if you're around certain people in certain situations, you'll know
exactly what kind of.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
You learned this bout your age, your age, now you
know exactly when this person comes in the room, you
know who that person is all the time.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Or I'm just like hold to certain people and they're
be like, yo, man, I brought my guy. I'm like, bro,
that was weird.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
I don't know what it got. So here's what Trump
did to me.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Trump is the guy that met the girl America, Yeah,
and lied to her.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
The fuck her? He promised her all these things.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm gonna do this for you, baby, I'm gonna love you,
I'm gonna treat you good. And he got in relationship
and fucked up. They tried to impeach him. He started
bringing your family over. He lied to the family. Everybody
fell in love with him, everybody, but he lies just
like a relationship. And what he did was when they separated,

(26:40):
they didn't get divorced, they separated from America. So he
called himself, I'm gonna get myself together, I'm gonna come
back strong. And he came back to America and the
female told her the same lies in a different way,
a different way, and he got back in. And she realizes, America,

(27:02):
now that are you got me again, but this time
you got me for more than the last time. And
that's what America is going through now. They are realizing
they got played. They realized that the same people who
voted for all down, that they out of the country
because of Ice, people who got their cubs for Trump exactly,

(27:28):
people who have died recently because Ice was there. And
because you know you've got a good consequences to your decisions, right,
you voted for Trump.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I mean there's American soldiers that are dead.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Right now exactly because of the war, and people don't
see the way I see the world. So when I
see that said, oh, they let him back in and
he got him good this time.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Have you watched did you watch Chappelle's last special?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yes? I did.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
I feel like Chappelle's specials lately have been more like Sherman's, Like,
like you said, like Chappelle's specials are like I feel
like they're kind of like you're going in and it's
it's it's there's comedy in there, yes, but there's also
like a great storyteller. It's like, let me show you
the mirror so you can look at you.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yes, yes, yes, He's become one of the most phenomenal
stand up comedians of our time, no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I think too.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's just like the timing of the last one was
so like I was like, man, this fucking.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Guy just yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
And it goes to show you the sooner you start,
the more you have an.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Effect on society.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Because he's been around twenty something years, right, And that's
a great feeling because you can't knock him out the box,
so to speak.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
To become number one, right, right, it's not possible. You could.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
You could get popular, you can get good, but not
the best, not to be the best immediately because if
you saw me, he was like, oh my god, k
Kirkle is amazing, but how with to take for the world.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Also like me on that level.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
You're a better comedian than you were forty years ago.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Absolutely, And I've been good since day one. Right, this
is I know for a fact.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
But I'm saying, but no matter what it is you do,
the more you do it, you're gonna get better.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
You're gonna get better. So that's my thing. Dave Chappelle
has really done his thing. And it also taught me
because when Kevin Hart started, I knew Kevin before he
blew up and when I saw his special and I
actually said this on the Breakfast Cloud, I said that
he wasn't funny. But because of the way the world
is set up now, you say something like that, they
take it.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
To heart and oh he's a hater.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
But I felt at that time Kevin wasn't funny.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Which special one, the one during COVID was not good.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
It is when he was when he first got started.
His first specure that came out.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh the first one okay, yeah, and then one.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Night I was in my home look for something to watch.
This is years later and you rewatched it. No, watch
something else, Okay, I said Kevin Funny, I did a
mother fu.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
But I can't now go back on another interview.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And say, man, because people hold you to what you
said the first time, because people don't see life is
about growth and because you said something then doesn't mean
that's the way I feel.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Hey, man, Raffi Law Group new a sponsor the Bootleg
Cap podcast. Want to give some love to that man.
I just was in Arizona, just did.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
A photo shoot. Show some of those photos.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
While I'm talking, man, you already know I'm not only
an endorser of Raffi. I'm also a client.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
My wife got into a fender bender and Raffi took
care of her exponentially. It was so easy. And when
I tell you, man, if you get into an accident,
maybe a little injury situation, there's only one guy I trust,
one law group I trust. It's Raffi Law Group called
six two, three, three, eight eight forty three thirty three.
Whether it's a car accident, a personal injury, situation, whatever

(30:58):
the case is. They alleviate all the stress. They've helped
over seventy thousand people in as.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Look, I know you're driving around. You see the billboards everywhere.
You're like, ah, is this guy just like another one
of these billboard lawyers. No, the amount of care, the
amount of attention to detail that they do everything with,
it's the best. One more time, if you need help,
you gotta call Raffi, just like I did when my
wife got into an accident. Asy, you gotta trust Raffi man,
all Right, they're the best. Raffi log Group the newest

(31:26):
sponsor of the Bootleg Cab podcast. One more time, don't
forget to save the number. Call Raffi if you get
into an accident six two, three, three eight eight forty
three thirty three.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Let's get back to the podcast because things do change. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I feel like sometimes with comedians too, we will always
hold Like if you're like Kat Williams and you have
like some of the greatest stand up specials of all time, Yes,
it's almost.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Like no matter what you do, yes, it's always gonna
be like Yeah, it's cool, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Like, but it's not like cat like Kat was at
his peak, you know, in this and it's like.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
The thing that I'm against though in comedy is comics
doing five six Netflix specials.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
In what in what timeframe?

Speaker 3 (32:11):
And I don'tkay how long, ten twelve years, because it
takes away from to me who you are.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Back in the day.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
You might have did two HBO specials or Showtime Richard
pryor Eddie Murphy. It was never sick. I mean, how
much more can you say?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, I feel like a lot of guys are kind
of on a two year cycle. Yeah, every two years
there's a new hour.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
And you gotta give other comics a shot. It's so
many comedians out here in the world that all comics
who are talented should have the opportunity to perform. But
who's ever making these decisions rotates the same people, And
there's nothing against the people who are doing it. I'm
even getting a bag, But there's so many other comics.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, I think YouTube has been a rate tool for
comics to jump over.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yes, that's true. Ali, Yeah, he's doing his thing.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
One of the biggest. Yes he is, and all his
stuff just on YouTube. Yes, yes, like he is one
of them once. Yes, yeah, he's doing his thing. He's
doing his thing. But yeah, I just yeah, I feel
like comedy has always had its place in like the
social you know, commentary of whatever's going on in the world.

(33:28):
And I just, you know, I feel like the last
year and a half, like a lot of weight has
been put on, like the power.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, it goes to show you, like even with the
heat that Charlamagne is getting right now from Donald Trump, right,
you know, And that's also a gift for a curse
because we live in the world now, because he's on
the radar that somebody could try to kill him, just
because that's how this stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Is, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
And I read so much about political leaders or how
they make disappear or they do something to you.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
And at the end of the day, what people don't
stand it's nothing you really could do.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
If something happens to you, there's nothing nothing you can do,
you could do. You're gonna be a complainer, that's it.
They un knocked off Martin Luther King, they knocked off
Malcolm X, they knocked off so many I've got the
guy's name and God and Congo years ago.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
They've knocked off so many heads of government. Yes, sir,
they have thrown, I mean overthrown every regime you can
think of it.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, it's like if you get too loud, who's saying
and is it worth it?

Speaker 3 (34:39):
See, because you could talk, you could be that strong
leader or thank you that strong leader. But I've seen
what they can do to you.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Tee.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
I gotta uh one. I want. I always wonder because
there's this I don't know if you're an aliens guy,
I'm listening, but there's I don't know if you've been hearing.
What's going on supposed to be like a congressional hearing
where a lot of new information is gonna get revealed
about supposed alien ships in the ocean and all kinds
of transdimensional beings.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
If we find it.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's crazy that we live in a time where this
is not like the number one new story in the
world because the world is so fucked. Yes, if we
find out for sure aliens are a real thing, how
does it change the world? In your opinion, nobody gonna
give a fuck if they show their faces. If we
realize we're that small, do you think it humbles like

(35:35):
people humans with.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
If you if you have a high IQ, you appreciate it,
like wow, I always knew it.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Maybe I should move differently.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Maybe if they spoke and had sat down in your
podcast srite some real shit and tell them how they
should change they tell us how we should change the
world and get your lives better. I think something like
that can shake up the world and make you really
want to get your shit together, you know. But right now,
everybody's just winging it.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Everyone's winging it.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Doing what they want to do. No morals, no respect.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
No worries about the consequence, nothing, how it affects other people.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Yes, they're just running it and that's sad. And I
would think it would be a great thing, especially if
they could talk. Yeah, so as they could talk and
not be evil. Well yeah, yeah, like the Donald Trump
right yeah, or some politically like.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
We're gonna get to the point where like these motherfuckers
are really about to drop nukes and then aliens are
gonna be like, hey, right.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
But I also feel like this whole alien thing is
very convenient that like the US government is talking about
revealing this shit in the middle of like the Epstein
files and war, and it just feels like it could
be a crazy football they're throwing for everyone.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
What people don't understand.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Like I said, go, I go way back to when
the government was fighting AFGA and the stand.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
All this stuff was to throw people off.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, and they loop back around every so often to
throw people off when it's necessary, called loop. And the
people fall for it every time, Yeah, every time, because
guess why we're complainers. There's nothing we can do some
real shit, man, nothing. It's a great conversation amongst podcasters

(37:30):
on the news. So when I see him talk, I say,
all we do is complaining.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
It's just entertainment. There doing nothing you can actually do.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
There's nothing you can do right now.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
You can fight some things, you know, you can fight
some things. This motherfucker running it. When Donald Trump leaves office,
he's gonna be a trillionaire.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
His sons are all I mean, his his nineteen year
old son has made one hundred and eighty million dollars
since he's been elected. He's nineteen's right, How does that?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
What is right?

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, it's it's it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
It's a cold hustle.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
It's a cold hust And people got to understand that's
what this country is really made out of.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
This is who we are.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
When you go way back to the early let's say nineteen.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
The Rockefellers and uh, yeah, this is who we are.
It's just it's just like he's showing us, like, no,
we are. We are the country of fucking consumers, yes,
and greed, yes, and gluttony. This is who America is.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
When you like, you're a worldly guy.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
When you go to like Japan, you're like, oh my god,
it's a Tokyo's such a clean place. But it's a
major city and everyone's very respectable. It's wyed in.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Public based on leadership. See, leadership is everything. Like when
you come to your house, everything is in order because
you're a great leader.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I got some crazy franchise that keep my house in disarray,
but outside of the.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Dogs, yeah you got you have leadership.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I give my wife all the household credit though.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yes, but if a man came to your house, yeah
they see leadership. Like I was on the show the
other day but big boy, you know, of course big
and shout out the big and I was talking about
how men should wear pajamas in their home. He said,
what do you mean, TK, I said, leadership is everything.
You open your door, you should look presentable, not shorts

(39:22):
and socks.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Right now, you don't have to wear on the bed,
but around the house, around the.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Home, some nice slippers because it looks good, it looks elegant.
It makes you feel made. So Big Boy was like,
should I wear to have the go and all that?
And I was like, no, I just think that you
feel amazing as a man.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And I told this I did.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
I talked about this not too long ago, and Chris
Spencer called me and he came me and shout out
to Christmins and he was saying, how man. Because I
saw that interview, I went and got me some goddamn
pajamas and I just want men to understand that you
do J's in the hotel though I should do.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
See that's different. I'm in a hotel but naked.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, I would like d Ray David. The date was
in Ontario. We was all the same hotel and I
had to come downstairs and he literally was recording me
laughing because I had Amazon. But what I wanted to
show the world I'm a man. This is how men
dresses that got swag and style. And I came, you know,

(40:25):
my stuff, you fly. So I came down you know,
just just go do what I gotta do and go
back and he recorded me. You know, but I just
this is just my opinion. You know, it doesn't make
you a man. It just shows that you have to
discipline to do this, and that's what it's about, disciplined
respect and on and plus, some guys need to wear

(40:46):
pajamas because their bodies are sucked up and you need
to cover it. And it makes you, it makes it
makes you a tractor to your girl. If you got
a horrible body, if you're a fat walking around you
things look ugly and not in place, cover it up.
Cover it up, because now she's looking at you like, wow,

(41:09):
I got to look at this all exactly, you know,
because men know anybody's are right, and women too. Women
should have a nice but jama set or nice robe,
not no auntie's robe, something nice because at the end
of the day, ladies, you gotta come to bed ready

(41:30):
just in case your man wants something. And the same
with guys. Everybody gotta always wash their ass, always got
everybody gotta smell good. When you are in a relationship.
You gotta take a shower every night and get in
bed just in case it goes down, just in case.
Be ready, be ready, yes, stay ready. Because I might
want to get you at two or three o'clock in
the morning.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I think that's real.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
H Can you tell me about this show lot of
Patrol with Carl Pain that you you know about that?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Yeah, yeah, we got We filmed this a while ago
and we just did some something. This comes out in June.
I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Do the TV show I did. I did not like.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Being on set all day studying lines and even though
the show was about me, you know, it's my show. Yeah,
and Manny it's a big fan of mine. And he said, TK,
you gotta do this. So I did it. So we

(42:37):
started last year on some things. He sent me a
script two days prior to me coming from Paris, and
I felt bad. I got here and I didn't. I
wasn't prepared the way I wanted to be prepared, because
anything I do, I want to give it one.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
But I was good enough to wing it. When I
come back.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
You know, they have the edits or the credits they
showing everybody is saying how good I am. I was like,
what I'm thinking. They gassing me, there's a ticket You're
about to be a star. I said, shut the fuck up.
We're hearing it. I'm hearing it all. They're on to set,
so to the point that my mind is getting a

(43:21):
little more confident.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Right, I'm like, is this ship about the pop off?

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Then I get an independent film. They don't get ready.
They get me a show and Sundance that's supposed to
be huge. I'm like, what's going again?

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Organic, Maybe run acting, run and we'll see what happens
with it. I've always been about the money. It's too
many actors and actors that are struggling because they want
to act. They got problems with the studio not getting
their money. They the ages whatever, didn't do the proper

(43:56):
contract for them to get paid.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
I just never wanted to be in that situation where
you where you're.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
At the behest of somebody else.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Oh that's a horrible feeling because I know I am see.
I avoid things to make sure I don't do nothing wrong.
So I do things right and do things right. It's
got to be my way because no one can owe
me that kind of money. I think differently. I'm not
gonna say what I'll do right, but if someone knows
you that kind of money, I just think differently, and

(44:26):
I don't play. So I'm not gonna put myself in
a situation to think like that. Too much to lose.
So what's real is what I do?

Speaker 1 (44:35):
What is Is there a home for the TV show yet?

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Yeah? They got it.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
I'm not gonna say it, you know, and let them
do the announcement. But I'm excited, dope and see what happens.
Like anything, what I'm doing right now is amazing because
it beats a sisted living.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Ain't that the truth? Because a lot of people that
are your age, yes right, are down bad exactly.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
I'm not in know fifty and up community, right. I
don't even think my neighbors think I'm as old as
I think because they said I ride scooters.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
You know, I got electric bikes. Oh you got to
eat bikes? I got yo. I do all that.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I get to have my little cigar. I'll ride through
the neighborhood like a O G.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
God.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
I think you know the cars I have is amazing
for a senior citizen for sure.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
You know, do you ever do you do you like
to use that the discount though?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Use that?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Oh yeah, oh absolutely, senior discount.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
And I want people to understand becoming a senior citizen.
It sounds crazy. People are gonna like laugh a little
bit because we get older. And I want people to
understand something about to say. And it hit me one day.
I want everybody who's watching and listening to me, I want.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
You to understand this.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
The goal is to fill out your paperwork for Social Security.
It's the biggest reward of your life because.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
You made it. You made it that far.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
A lot of people don't make it true, A lot
of people never get the opportunity to get their social secured.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Would you've been paying in your whole life?

Speaker 3 (46:13):
And I thought about that. I said, man, this is
an honor right. People don't make it this far. And
that's how what these people understand. To cherish this life
that we have, because you can make it. Like you
just gotta make good decisions, cut off people that sway

(46:34):
you different ways.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
And if you don't know who you are, just keep swinging.
Just keep swinging. Soon as lady gonna get a knockout.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, just keep so. I don't care how many years
it take. Keep swinging.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah, you got to you gotta keep shooting.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Man, got to, Yes, sir, I'm an example. I mean,
like you just said, look at you're about to be
on a little actor run in your sixties. A thought
this shit would have went down while getting off an
arena tour exactly, So it's insane. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
And then we're supposed to do our podcast, yeah, you know,
and paperwork everything, and we still can do it later.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Yeah, it's just that what I like about what.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I'm doing in podcasting, in these interviews, I controlled me, right,
I know, I'm going to show up.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
What's your what?

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Because I feel like Vlad gets a rap that a
negative wrap amongst a lot of people, especially in the
hip hop community. Yes, he's been in the news a bit.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Boozy and him.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yes, kind of had a breakup and then him in
the air spears. Yes, what is your relationship with Vlad
and your just take on.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Vlad and.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
You're a regular Yeah, me and Blad talk off off
off the air. Super smart guy, Yes, super smart, So
we talk. I give me, you know a lot of
people don't know. He calls me a lot like I give.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Him what my opinion are.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Blag caught the bug, Glad. It's a celebrity now.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
It got them.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
I mean, look, he was in the he was in
the boondocks. That was like.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Fifteen years ago. Yeah, blag caught the celebrity.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Niche and he's running with it. Me personally, I think
he should still stay low key. But he's a young kid,
lads like, and it's late fortyes, maybe fifty.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, he's probably around that, like late forty.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Yeah, he's a he's a young kid, so he's gonna enjoy.
He's making a lot of money, he's doing this thing.
I hate that these these situations are public, you know,
because I'm old school, and when I see things go
public about people's personal business.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
It bothers me.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
But it's a different world out here today, and people
fight and do things differently. I don't agree with a
lot of stuff, but I've learned to understand I'm a dinosaur.
The way my people think, my generation, the way you
move that is the past. It's a new way of
doing things today, and you could share stuff every now
and then. Some people get it well.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
I think like sometimes like we like content, creators will
think like, well, everything's content. But I think Vlad's at
least I didn't see Aery Spirits go public with their
disagreements first. But I think Vlad was like, well, look
if you went public with this disagreement Yeah, I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Real that's what he told me, because otherwise it would
have been private. Yeah, and I spoke to him. The
same thing happened with Boozy.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
We did.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Boozye wasn't on the platform for like eight months. Yes,
and you didn't hear Blad say why not? Absolutely until
Boozy spoke up. Yeah, exactly, And I talked to I'm
glad about it, and he said, t K. I would
have never said nothing. They didn't say something first, and
he felt he had to address it. You got to
control your nag.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Yeah, it's a different world. So I understand it. The
thing that I'm going to tell any comment that go
in the show, and you're want to have beef with Vlad,
he's the wrong person to go up against. He's like
Kendrick lamar Ice Cube. He does his research, he has

(50:07):
his ducks and or his due diligence, and he'll destroy you.
He'll destroy you. And he got the platform. He's got
the platform. He's got seven million subscribers. Yeah, he has
the platform. Whatever situation is, leave it alone, going into
the wind, because he can destroy your career.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Well, you see him. He said about airy spears essentially,
like how his platform had helped Aery Spears' comedy career
because it raised his profile. You feel like you going
on BLAD. Have you seen the benefits of it?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, And what people are saying, I
was on BLAD before people even thought about going on
Black for sure. You've been on Yeah, I think about
fourteen years now. And I'll give him his prose every
time and say how you guys are now? As is

(51:00):
my family. All the platforms all over the world changed
my life because, like I said, when I was coming
up in the game, you want to hear David Letterman
our senior he got canceled.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah, our senior.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Before he got canceled because he wasn't only that long,
so you had to get.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Him run though it was a meaningful Yeah it was.
It wasn't long, but it wasn't long.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
But there was the Magic Johnson Show, Tommy Davidson at a.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Show, all that.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
But I never had those opportunities. And I knew, and
I think I told this to you once when he
was on the phone. I knew in the nineties that
the people that were going to help me was gonna
be your age. And this is before what I saw
social media. This wasn't existing, right, these platforms, and this
changed my life. And I just want to say thank

(51:44):
thank you technology.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Well, if no more gatekeepers now, exactly, you can't stop me,
I mean, and I tell that people. People say that
to me all the time. They're like, for some reason,
I'm from Phoenix, and I guess I've kept everyone from
Arizona from making it in music.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Right.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
But it's like there's that doesn't exist anymore. Yes, Like
like you said, it's like there's the Internet has removed
all you can't We talked about it earlier. It's like
there's comedians who jumped over Netflix and said, all right,
we fuck Netflix. Right, I'm gonna just upload my shirt
on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah, and now I'm.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
Gonna go tour exactly. So I love that what has happened.
No one could stop me but me.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah. Oh I love that feeling. No, that's awesome. Oh man.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
And like I said, I'm in my late sixties. I
feel like I'm thirty something years old.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, man, living.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Goods, smoking good cigars, got the little corner in the restaurants,
so I can see everybody in like twenties a brown.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Well, listen, I appreciate you pulling up TK. The tour

of the things that's important, ladies and gentlemen, and get

Ice House in Pasadena.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Shout to pass it, run it back one of my
favorite comedy club.

Speaker 2 (53:05):

Speaker 4 (53:15):
I'm saying like, it's a different I can't imagine you're
doing what you do in fifteen minutes exactly because you
have to see everything about what my show is, because
it's an experience, is laughter, is knowledge all in one.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
And I just love the way my show motivates people
in life and laugh at the same time. Because what
are you don't going to intimidate you or inspire you.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
It's no other way.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
No, maybe you're gonna walk out of being mad at
me because you ain't got your ship together, or you're
gonna leave wow, because I tell people now you know
I've overs talk about LLC's EI n's so Now I
got a program with some gentlemen in Chicago, and it's
called t Kgvcomway dot com okay, and I teach people
now how to be government contractors. There's so much money

(54:12):
in that, see, you know, and you can't be lazy.
You can't be lazy. You can't be lazy. You gotta
go get it. So anybody's watching, go to t K
gov t K G O V C O n W
A Y look at it, look at the webinar and

(54:33):
see if you're interested. Because you can't call the team
because you know, you got to sign up, literally sign up.
You gotta send them an appointment like kind of like
an interview, and they see if you're qualified.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
To their's government contracts.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Literally if you're a graphic designer. Yeah. But here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
You're not selling stuff. What we're doing is we're teaching
you to work for the government. The greatest thing. That
not the greatest thing. Let me make sure I clear
that what Donald Trump did was he gave government contracting
trillions of dollars. So let me Spain through its many
lais down. If let you I always use this very
small example. Let's say that you want to bid because

(55:12):
most people don't know how to bid, or they get
there and they lose.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Yeah, but if you win the bid and we teach
you eight.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Weeks, it is of course that you take for eight
weeks to teach you how to bid. Then guys of
parents and failing, the whole team is excellent. They teach
you how to bid. Then what you do is, let's
say your state or whatever. These pencils, right, and you
had to come up with five ten thousand dollars one.
If you didn't have the money, we loan you the

(55:37):
money until you win your contract. And once you buy
these pens or pencils for schools, the government, you know
how they do.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
They pay you later, but hundreds of thousands.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
It's the same way the government milks the defense companies.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
It's literally the entire yes ghost act, like this is
how America runs exactly.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
A little screw on the spaceship this big pay twenty.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
I mean, it was in the news recently because Christy
nom the DHS secretary. They they were giving contracts government
contracts to companies that were just started within two or
three weeks exactly, which was I mean, she's going to
get investigated and people are going to have a prison
over that.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
But she was handing out seven figure contracts to her friends.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
She sure was for that.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Like, so it's it's a thing.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
It's a thing. Yeah, and you got to get a
piece of a lady. Gentlemen, so and follow me a
TK underscored Kirklaim. Don't forget ice House and Pasadena June
twelfth to the fourteenth. Please make sure you get the tickets.
