I bet I'm good. How you being? I'm gonna be How you been?

I'm gonna be honest, I feel so sexy today. You feel sexy? Oh my God, this is so sexy to me. What is it, is it L.A.? I mean, leaving the A, coming to L.A., that's what makes you feel sexy? I do feel sexy, man. You know, like when I used to strip. Let me tell you something. When I was stripping, the reason I stopped, the church members came down so hard. They came on you? But they was at the show.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was getting it to them, though. I was getting it to them. You getting it to them? I had a G-string the size of a jump rope. Let me tell you. It was actually breathtaking because when I put it on, it actually took my breath. But look, I had fun doing it, man.

You know what I'm saying? Man, look here. Like I said, I used to come see you all the time. All the time. Uptown comedy. Yeah. You don't have a problem making fun of yourself when it comes to weight. Why?

No, man. I just can't, man. And then when I do make fun of myself and I do see a big dude out there, I'm going to make fun of both of us. Right. He don't realize it's really about him. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really on him. Right. I'm a to make fun of both of us. Right. He don't realize it's really about him. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really on him.

Right. I'm a big dude. I work out. Believe it or not, man, I don't know what's happening, but ain't nothing happening, but I do work out. I got to train. I do everything, but we have fun. But you just got to be comfortable within yourself and believe in yourself, because

most big people won't even go anywhere because they big. Right'm saying they won't go to church because they're sitting there and look at it on the internet but get out and do something i don't care about you but get up and walk right i do everything i'm right i'm i'm i got to the age i got grandkids you know and i just man i just be everywhere with a man but at one point in time you were heavier you lost the weight and then you you rebounded and got it back. Somehow it came back. I don't know where it came from. So why did you lose the weight to start with?

Just to see, can I do it? See if you can do it. And I'm going to do it again. When? I'm going to do it again. I'm doing it now, man. I am, for real. I just got to cut out the Snickers and the Hershey's with almonds.

Yeah. But I'm not a junk eater that much. Right. I love vegetables. I tried vegan. It didn't work, man. It's too much sugar in vegan. You be eating that vegan food.

They can eat chicken. It taste like chicken. No, it don't. It do not taste like chicken. It taste like some fruit with some sugar on it. You know what I'm saying? And you done fried it and tried to make it look like chicken. Right.

So you just got to do the right thing. You know, eat the vegetables. You got to eat your salads. And then you got to be careful with salad dressings because most salad dressings is full of sugar. Right. You got to use low calorie. I had to learn all that, you know,

because the only thing black people eat is French dressing. That's all we had in our fridge. We didn't know nothing about no blue cheese. No fives. None of that. French dressing. And it got more sugar. It's like ketchup.

It got more sugar than It's like ketchup. It got more sugar than anything. So you have to learn these things as you go along on how to eat. Most important thing, go to the doctor. And then the doctor will educate you. Look, we need to cut this out. Because I go. I don't like to go, but I go.

I do. I don't like to go, but I go. So you go to the doctor. And the doctor says, Bruce, you're a little on the heavier side. We need you to lose 50. We need you to lose 100 pounds over, say, the next year and a half. Okay. I do it.

I do it. And I got a female doctor. She don't play no games. She don't play no games. But it seems like she want to check me every time I go in for this prostate thing. You know, look, I ain't got a problem with that finger. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, the way she do it, she ain't got a problem with that finger. You know what I'm saying? The way she do it, she ain't ask me how to eat

or nothing. She just go in it and then she's like, oh yeah, that feel good. Then she twists her hand around. I said, wait a minute. If you put both hands on my shoulder, there's going to be a problem in this room. You understand what I'm saying? There's going to be a problem in this room.

I say, but she say it feel good. And she told me what it was. Cause I asked questions and she say, I be feeling for lumps, pilates. And she says smooth and I like when it's smooth. I said, okay, Long, I said, cause I thought it was something, you back there hollering, oh yeah, this feel good.

I say, this don't feel good to me now. This is pressure. And they put so much gel. Oh my God, I get to the counter, man. Look feel good to me now. This is pressure. And then they put so much gel. Right. Oh, my God. I get to the counter, man. Look, I'm loosening. I can't even stand straight because my butt's so loose.

Look here. They think I'm up there counter-hunching the people sitting, you know, waiting on the seat. I'm not hunching. I'm trying to move that gel from back. I thought I had it all out, you know. Then I get in the car and I just slide down the seat. Man, so much jail. But it's important to go.

Right. You know, I didn't like to go. And I tell every man now, you know, I'm 60 years old. Right. You know what I'm saying? And you got to go. Things change in your body. How long did it take you to get comfortable with being this?

I didn't even realize it. You know, like, I was so active. I'm still so active now. I didn't realize I got big until one time my daughter said, Daddy, she seen a picture and said, who's that leaning on the back of your car? And in the picture I was leaning on the back of your car and I said, that's me. And I didn't realize I was that big. You know what I'm saying?

And it kind of brought something to my attention. And that's what made me just start watching everything that I do, man. But I'm good. You're healthy. You feel good. Yeah, I'm healthy. I feel good. Were you a big kid?

Okay. It was on Peachtree and 8th. They done built condos there now.

Mm-hmm. And they had this host there. He never, ever liked me. Okay. You know, he looked at me when he first saw me. He just didn't like me. He never would put me up. We had to come in.

I'm working at Frito-Lay Potato Chip. Right. Driving a truck down there. Didn't suppose to drive a truck down there. I got the truck parked out in front of the comic club because my car was broke. Right. And Doug and Karen said, I don't know who's driving that potato chip truck out there. They're going to fire your ass.

Oh, D.C. D.C. Okay. And this dude never would put me up, man. I went to him like a man. I said, you never put me up. What's wrong, man? Yeah, man. What's up? I said, man, everybody coming. He just brushed me off. Right. I said, man, you never put me up. What's wrong, man? Yeah, man, what's up?

Everybody come in. He just brushed me off. I said, look, am I going to have to go to the man on you? Because I'm coming to you as a man. So what he did, he waited until they put the 10 comedians up. Then they featured in the headliner. The featured headliner did about five minutes each. Then everybody got ready to go.

He said, hey, we got this fat dude coming up here. Oh, come on, bro. Oh, my God. I said, wait a minute he got honey buns in his pocket killing me he killing me right and so I go I said I walk it just as a body don't leave only it's like 400 people they came back and said I he used to go by this name of the chocolate hippie yeah and and I say man because nobody would never join him back. They always join him back.

But I challenged him. I came up. I said, man, you know, you go by the chocolate hippie. I said, well, I'm looking at you. I'm from this bluff. Right here on the bank here, you like a chocolate sissy to me. And they go like, whoa, because nobody had never challenged him. And so I went on stage, and this dude came up and said, man, look at this fat dude. He in the front He the front row. I say man that shirt silk. Are you and it too much?

And they buy like oh this dude is funny correct So then I went into the truck drive I do a truck driver that can't read right I used to church jokes about preachers You know this first like I told you it's comedian that wrote for me He wrote a joke about a pigeon a midget up on the pulpit reading for the preacher right and the preacher couldn't read so the midget would read for him right and I did head joke and I ripped it from then on amen it was it was it was really good didn't he come when I get off say he gonna come in yeah man was taking man you really funny man I said look man let's clear something up that's let's customer I said you don't like me and I

don't like you that's the only thing I want you to do is disrespect me. When I come and sign a letter, just put me up. Right. It's just that simple. I ain't got to be your friend, but I just want to go up. But I could have easily walked away, Shannon. Right. I could have easily walked away and said, you know what?

Forget this. I ain't going to be no comedian. But I had that tunnel vision, man. I said, I'm going to do this. Right. And I knew it was for me. When I went on stage that first time, I knew that's where I should have been my Whole entire life. So when you how are you? We oh my gosh and it was I think I I was married to her first wife, you know

She was putting me through she said you'd never make it. Huh? She said you know, she doubted you Yeah, you know, that's a good I see on TV. I said if you ever see me waving I'm waving at you Right, but you can't let people Dictate your life you can't you ain't got to accept what people tell you. Right. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So I went up.

But when I was going up, she came down to see me one time. The people ain't laughing at you. They laughing at you because you failed. I said, no, they're not. They laughing at my jokes. You know what I'm saying? But it didn't work out with us. And that's good.

We got three kids. They're very grown now. Right. Very grown kids. I love them. but it didn't work out with us. And that's good. We got three kids. They're very grown now. Right. Very grown kids. I love them. And I had to move on. What was it like when you got that very first laugh, your own stage? Oh, my God.

Is that the drug? Is that the high that you chased from that moment on? Yes, sir. That was the high, man. I mean, and I thought about it all night. You know, when you get that first laugh, when I got home, I'm like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. It was so good.

So what I started doing, I started taping myself. Brought a little tape recorder, radio check. Didn't have no money. Right. And just started listening to it. And I'm driving a Frito-Lay truck, and I'm critiquing myself. Right. And I'm listening to what people laugh at in the hardest.

Right. So I know how to go with the joke and take my voice up. Right, right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? and I'm looking at list to and so I used to let this um later the convenience store listen to her name was Carol she's above North she said you're funny and she was a white lady in June so you're very funny and she's I like the joke about such simple do this do that she was helping me right and every time I go down on stage every week everybody said man what you got a joke machine at home right I said no man i'm just reviewing everything i do to try to make it better right right right and better

you know and it just worked out man and things just started happening things just started happening man and it's been really good for me so cadence is to set up the cadence in which you get ready to deliver you raise your voice melt and then you fire kill and see people got on the stage you delivering your character it's just how you deliver a joke I can take a joke right here and I can say like man you need your ass kicked people have asked but if you get you need your ass kicked so if I put that emphasis on it right people oh my god you know so you just got to know when you use it and how to use it in order to learn that you got to be on stage right you got to be

on stage right listen to the crowd right because most people most comedians go back how many women in any women in record they want to do the best um you know having sex with a girl joke something it don't matter if it's funny it's fun it's funny right people gonna man right no matter how you look you can be the ugliest dude in the world right if you funny people gonna laugh so growing up in the neighborhood you like okay I want to do something I want to help my mom did you know what you wanted to do to help your mom you just knew you wanted to do something yeah I knew I had to do something to

help her and one thing I just did the very best I could and I wanted to quit my job okay working at Frito-Lay you know you know you sell a bag and eat three bags and everybody man because black people are so stuck on a good job right yeah you got a good job why you want to leave and I quit that good job good job my aunt took it to the Lord and pray Lord Jesus he get ready quit that good job. I said, in the morning. I said, I'm quitting.

In the morning. But my mother said something to me that made so much sense. Okay. She said, if you quit your job, you can always get another job. Right. I didn't think of it like that. Right. She said, you're not no dummy.

And when I quit, I'll tell you when I quit, Shannon, I took a 30-day leave after I had to use a strategy right because I just couldn't quit I'd say I'm tell I got approved for my 30-day leave after and I was transferring my truck to my supervisor okay and he saved me man let me ask you coming back I said won't you look at me real good as the next time you see me I'd be on TV I said no I'm not coming back right and I had $20 in my pocket and I had 30 dollars in the credit union I told my but I said come get me stop me by the bank machine I'm get you $20 out and you just drop me off. He's okay. We go by the bank machine I get the $20 out. I gave him the 20 my beeper went off back then. It's a young kid I'm gonna do know the be yeah, but people when I do calm and said man me said man where you working at this week i'm working for you ain't never look back

wow ain't never look back it's been great for me man and i have helped so many comedians when you write bruce when you're writing a set how do you go about sitting uh uh uh down and like okay whether you got 30 minutes 45 minutes normally you headline a lot so you're probably going to do somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes yeah how do you go about sitting down writing that set actually i don't do it i just freestyle it i go on stage and do it see all the person i know can really sit down and write is don dc curry one of the best writers i've ever met and been friends with for the last 35, 40 years. Right.

He can sit down and write it, man. But me, I go on stage and I just work it out. Really? Yeah, I just go work it out. I think of something in my head, but then I go on stage and just work it out. Like I was telling my sister-in-law the other day how I had to use the bathroom. Right. I had to take a laxative, and then I went and got me a smoothie with almond milk in it.

And almond milk make you go player. You know what I'm saying? And I'm getting close to the house and I couldn't, I couldn't hold it. I'm breathing like I'm pregnant. I'm trying to keep it together. You know what I'm saying? And then when I get to the house, you know, when you hear the glue, glue, glue, they were laughing. And then you got that little ding.

That's all you got. First you, I'm holding on to the walls and everything. Then that little ding. That's all that comes. So like that, I can milk it. I can make a joke out of it because it's fun. It's real life. Right.

So is that what comedians do? They take real life situations and make them funny. Absolutely. But the thing is, Bruce, I'm listening to at you and you say well, I don't write anything down I just like you memorize things that have happened to you Maybe that day maybe that we maybe that month and you go up and use like, okay here I go do it man. He's either gonna work or it's not but you can make it work Now what I do I kind of I forget stuff forget stuff sometimes, so I record it on my phone. Right. I'm like, racist dude in Ralph Grocery Store.

Right. And when I say that, and I hear it, I know where to go with it. Right. Because in the South, you're from the South, you know what I'm talking about. There's a lot of racism, and racism is stupid. Right. I remember I went to buy a bus one time. Look at the bus.

A white guy said, well, I don't have a key to the bus. I said, but your car's here. This is your life. He did not want to show it to us. Right. You know what I'm saying? But right then I knew, you know, we need to go on the exit and go somewhere. I'm not going to argue with this dude because he's stupid.

Right. You know what I'm saying? And racism is nothing that's in you. It's something that's taught to you. And it's nothing. Like when I was in the restaurant years ago, just real quick, I had a manager named Jerry Fowler. He had like the Oak Ridge boys, you know, Jordache, members on the jacket, cowboy boots. You know that cowboy?

I do. He had a little son. Him and my son was the same age. And he was a white guy. And his son and my son got along so well. Right. And they didn't see color they saw two friends so his son get home one night and say daddy can i ask you something he said antoine antoine is my son he says is that my cousin because he didn't know right but he knew they got along he said no that's

not your cousin that's your soul brother right you know what i'm saying and because we need to quit teaching our kids this racism because when they grow up, they learn the truth. Right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's why you can get a white baby and a black baby right now, put them in the room, they'll play all day. Thank their cousins. Right.

Until they're ready and they're coming out, get that baby out of here. Don't you bring him in here no more. And I mean that. The black baby like, why y'all taking my cousin? Right. So people are people. You just got to, people got to understand it taking my cousin? So, people are people. People got to understand it's bad and good in every race

of people. Where are you on, because there have been a lot about joke stealing. Oh my God, I see it all the time. If somebody steals someone's joke and I see them, I know who they got it from. That's how long I've been in the

business. Sometimes I have to remind comedians of their got it from. That's how long I've been in the business. That's how I am. Sometimes I have to remind comedians of their jokes they ain't did in a long time. Right. Like, Arne S.J., funny. Jump around. I said, Arne S., you don't do that joke no more. But I said, he said, man, I forgot about that joke. Like that, you know?

I said, start back doing it. It's funny. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because he used to do a joke about somebody smelling real bad. Right. You know? And he's like, damn, what the fuck?

You didn't wash your hands? You know what I'm saying? And then he saw it and he went and he did it. He did all race of people. He did like a redneck, then he did a Spanish dude, then he did an African dude.

Right. And he walked up to the African dude and he said, is it you or is it me? You know, because he didn't know which one of them was there. Right. And he brought that back

and it's funny. Because a lot of comedians, they get tired of the joke, but everybody hadn't saw the joke. Right. You know what I mean? So.

They just need to keep doing it.

What about now, though, Bruce? You used to tell a joke, and you could tell that joke damn near for a year. Yes. Because there was no social media, and they only saw you when you came to tell a joke, and you could tell that joke down there for a year. Yes. Because there was no social media, and they only saw you when you came to that time. Now with social media, you basically got to put that joke weekly because everybody is taping your set when you come there, and the internet is going to pick up everything. So you told that joke last week, get a new joke. And it was crazy it could

be that one person yep just say i heard that before and and it's not the same joke it's just something that was similar to it right and everybody yeah he did say that before they'll just jump on the bandwagon right but the thing with social medias with these new comedians what i want to encourage them to do i I know you're funny on the internet and everything, but have more than you see on social media. Have more than that five minutes. Because when people come out and see you, they want to see 35, 40 minutes. And a lot of

comedians, they can do 35, 40 minutes, but are you funny that whole entire time? Right. You see what I'm saying? So a lot of them have got on, like Country Wayne, he started out and he's doing very well. And his show is very good, and I'm proud of him. But a lot of them have got on them like like country Wayne he started out he's doing very well right and this show is very good and I'm proud of it but a lot of them just got did ten minutes right and that's that when you come out and see you like does it on social media wait we spent money for

this right you know so we just got to keep creating right you know how you do is watch you know I knew I know comedian he'll read the paper before you do a show he read the paper and do everything he'll read the paper Before you do a show he read the paper and just do everything. He just reading paper Every time right? That's how great he was right, you know, and I work with some of the greats would Ray Moore You know and a lot of young people don't nobody you know, Bernie Mac. Hey Bernie. Oh my god Renato Ray who was my mentor right on BT comedy right? Help me do it, you know, I do a joke or not I said look when you go out there He said turn your body to the right a little bit. He said look that way and tell the joke and I swear it worked

every time every time that's how great he was right and So it's good to experience this experience Renato Ray and John Willis spoon grabbed me up under their wing and they took me because they saw something in me. That's what I do. I get comedians and keep them encouraged. People got to understand, especially the parents,

you all have got to quit saying certain things to your kids because you're crushing their dreams. You're crushing their spirit. My aunt said, Bruce is going to be a doctor. Bruce is going to be a lawyer. I knew I wasn't going to be a doctor. I knew damn well I wasn't going to be a lawyer. My aunt said, Bruce is going to be a doctor. Bruce is going to be a lawyer. I knew I wasn't going to be no doctor. I knew damn well I wasn't going to be no lawyer.

Right. My uncle said he was going to be a damn fool. Right. My uncle was my father, but he knew. But I knew that. But quit telling these kids what they can't do. That's what they want you to be. You know, somebody tell you, oh, I want you to be this, you can be that.

That's not what I want to be. That's what you want me to be. Right, right. When did your big break come? I don't even think I got it yet, man. Like they say, you have 15 minutes of fame. I still think I got two more minutes left. You got two more minutes left?

I got two more. I have so much fun just making people laugh and selling shows out. It's just the best thing that ever happened in the world to me. I can remember when I was working for Frito-Lay and I looked at a magazine and I saw Bernie Mac. And Bernie Mack was he had on a pink suit with black in it with shawl. I said, oh my God, I want to be just like that dude.

I wanted to be like Bernie. He was selling shows and I saw him in person. And he was doing very well. And then they said at that time he was getting like 10 grand a show. I'm like, 10 grand? Brother give you 10 grand to stand on stage and tell a joke? Right.

And I'm like, this is unbelievable. But it's here. Right. It's here. You, the audition, Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Apollo. So what was the auditions like on that? Because you know if you're knocking out the park here. Oh, you know, Def Jam, you was smooth sailing.

You ripping on Def Jam. You in the air, man. Right. And I was so scared, man. Oh, my God, I was scared. here oh you know depth jam you smooth sailing you you you rip it off depth jam you in the air man right and I'm also scared oh my god I was scared why we so nervous because you had already done you let me tell you why Shannon you like we Southern boys all right but when you get up north to New York first thing like this country mother but yeah they say that you know that's country and I like I say I'm country but let me do my thing I know when I would never forget when I did Apollo and Steve Harvey was hosting right and I walked out and Steve said I'm let y'all know now y'all better put your seatbelts on

with this guy right here cuz I'm letting you know he gonna let you have and I was known for like messing with the crowd right and I came out there and they're all these he said now to all this country mother I want that I killed him I mean after I rubbed that long when I rubbed that long when I came up right out there and they're all this he said all this country mother i want that i killed him i i mean after i rubbed that log when i rubbed that log when i came up right you rubbed it yeah yeah yeah steve came a guy he's uh-huh uh-huh so y'all wasn't ready for him right uh but i jumped they they gave me the respect i had to earn it right but it automatically gave people from up north love right but if you say bir, Atlanta, Florida, Tennessee,

all this country, man. And they got to understand, it's not like that in the South. People think we still living in red clay mud. Yeah, driving horse and buggy. Yeah, horse and buggy. Ha! You coming down like, we're not doing, people living in mansions in the South.

But you know what, Bruce? You one of the few comedians, you chop it up with the chop it up with with the audience You get older I have to man He with you One one lady, um got mad at me. I was in Greenville, South Carolina I don't forget this and she kept talking out loud and the way this stage was I was gonna stay stage was an oval shape Right and it was seats all around the stage, I was on the stage, the stage was oval shaped. Right. And it was seats all the way around the stage.

Right. And then it was the tables and stuff. But she kept talking out loud. So you could hear her while you were on stage. And so I ignore her and I'm doing my jokes. And I say, can you hold it down? I said, I'll be up shortly. I said, how did you learn how to whisper in a helicopter like that?

She like, my husband don't talk to me like that. And she said something. She said I called her a bitch and I didn't. Right. Because I don't't talk to me like that. And she said something. She said I called her a bitch, and I didn't. Because I don't do that to women. And I never use the N-word. You know what I'm saying? And I say, I called you a bitch. I said, if I did, I'm sorry.

I said, but let me be the first to shake your hand. To call you a bitch. And I made it. I flipped it on her. Yeah. But she kept talking. I kind of gave my crudest signal. I said, get out of here.

Because she just kept talking. And I had to just get out of there. But I apologize, too. I say, I'm going to give you your money back and everything. But this is what I want you to do. Don't ever come to a show again if you're going to do all that loud talking in front of people. Because it's disrespectful. Right.

But it's good. And I have fun with it. So where are you now? Are you afraid after what transpired a couple years ago at the Oscars, are you afraid about people running up on stage if you were to say something? Let me tell you something now, Shannon. Come on now. I'm going to do you like you didn't. Come on. Come on now, Shannon. Come on. Come on.

Come on. It wouldn't happen to a brother. Will Smith would have never ran up on Trick Daddy like that. If Trick Daddy was... Say the same thing. Say the same thing, he'd have hesitated. See, you don't run up on no fool. Trick Daddy gonna let you have it. He couldn't have ran up

on me or you like that. And Chris Rock is my boy. I love him with all my heart. Chris is a buck thirty. Oh, 129. Many a buck thirty when you put your clothes on. But he took it and he kept it professional. But I bet something in his mind was like,

you lost your in mind? Right. When Will slapped it, he went across. He didn't go like, pow. It was from the shoulders all the way to the floor. And he wouldn't have did that to me me Cuz it had been a fight in there I'm take out of put him in a I'll put him in a sleeper hold and if I got that second win he went

Can't do a man like that. I'm gonna handle that in a better way I believe and actually I thought we was coming up to joke with him right the way it look it look like he was gonna Come up with Joe winner cuz and then cuz Chris a hit come Richard like that yeah yeah he thought he was joking it's right and we who caught him right you don't say and he apologized later but and I never met we don't give it all and all the thing I've heard about we'll was great things right I've heard great things about it but when I saw that woo-hoo woo, even the white people were like, oh, no.

Right. We don't do that at the Oscars. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? Right. And he lost a lot of money behind it. Right. Of course.

He lost a lot of money behind it. But I'd have had to come out that suit, play out. You know, if I had that tuxedo on. So you don't worry about it. So you don't worry about it anymore because, like I said, you do chop it up with the crowd.

You get on what people are wearing, what their hair look like, what their shoes look like. Yeah. So you don't worry about that? No, not at all. Not at all. Man.

See? Yeah. So, Comic View. Yeah, you know, I was the host of Comic View. Yeah, but is that where you say that's what really put Bruce Bruce into the stratosphere? Comic View broke the ice for me. And then the thing was, I was, I suppose I got it years before. See, I say this all the time. is done in divine order okay I suppose did it like seven years before

I didn't get it right I was a little upset about it but I say you know what I'm gonna keep it moving the year that I got it was the best year it was the best ratings I made more money than anybody on that show they gave me money for my clothes to be made which they have never did right and it was the best year and then Ronaldo Ray was was like the best coach I ever had in my life to to guide me and do a lot of things and it broke the ice and I know for after I did that for the next 10 years I was doing nothing but sellouts. Right.

From Comic View. Right. And then the next year, they came back with the Caliente. And I was the party girl in New Orleans. Right. And they came with Caliente. And it wasn't going so well. And they called me back to do it again.

Right. And I did that. And I say, where's Ronaldo Ray? And they say, you want him I see yes and the next day he was getting that car he said I appreciate you bringing me back and indeed well Nina did BT coming to the stage when I hosted that when the new community was being introduced right host that show they did well so BT was I got to give him thumbs up right even for my career even if I

didn't ever do no with me ever again I'd give my a cuz they put me on the map Do you think something like that would would rate again? Could they do something like a deaf comedy jam or a comic view? Absolutely. Absolutely, and I think it'll work too. I think it work but the comedian is gonna have to brain the a game, right? They came they came do all this crazy Convenience do a lot of things now that you have to see back in the day when we was coming up we we listened right we used to listen to Richard Pryor we listened to Bill Cosby we listened to Red Fox Kids and I'm on the hood kids thought I was crazy because I used to listen to Milton Berle because Milton was quick he was

witty and he'll sit there like he'll just laugh and laugh and on the roast but then when it's time for him to roast right he will bring the noise is it now you look at a lot of comedian now a lot of theirs are skit based yeah yeah you the old comedian you guys don't really do skits no you just you just you just you just bring it from from the top we're gonna make it funny man just like i do a joke about when they give away food at the mall on two pick yeah. Yeah. Right? And I keep walking past the lady. You know, I did walk past about 12 times. She said, how many of you been here? I said, lady, shut up.

The food is free. You know what I'm saying? Right. You know, you giving the food away, it doesn't matter who gets it. Right. But people can relate to that because they know every time you're in the mall, they got the little bourbon chicken up or something like that. Yeah.

You go by. Yeah. And I just walked by and then came down, making a different face like I'm somebody else, making a different face like I'm somebody else. They said, you've they said you've been here don't worry about it. It's right. It's free. So That's kind of stuff. I like you mentioned Steve When you went to the Apollo and he was the host Yeah, and Steve I've talked to have a lot of comedians all and everybody speak at this man in glowing terms Of how he's helped them

Quake talked about how he said look Quake on the comedy club he has Steve Harvey and blah blah blah and the ticket sales weren't what they're supposed to be right he's a Steve told me give everybody their money back this is what we gonna do in the morning so they read on the radio show the next morning brought everybody donuts and coffee and they promoted the show mm-hmm uh said the entertainer mm-hmm told us a Steve got me on TV says I want this guy right here he's a buddy of mine did did Steve

partake any wisdom what what is what a statement made answer yes sir let me tell you and Steve was straight up I mean it wasn't it was straight no chase yeah and I never forget I went to the Apollo and Steve say this is all I want you to do he said when people come out and see you, give them something back. And he said, I want you to start dressing in suits. He said, you're a big dude. He said, you look good in suits. And I had on some Sean John sweatshirts.

Yeah. He said, man, that stuff right there good when you're traveling. Right. He said, you get on a plane, you go into another city. Right, right. You can be comfortable. He said, but on stage? He said, no.

That's why I started wearing suits. And he took me up in his dressing room. He showed me the suits he had, the gaiters he had on the floor. Right. I said, well,

I guess I can. And I was like, I ain't going to wear no suits on stage. You know what I'm saying? And he said, just do it. And I kept listening to him, listening to him.

And I did it, and it just changed my whole life. Right. And he always gave you a wisdom on how you should do how you should dress how you should handle yourself in public right and Steve always kept good dudes around yeah you know yeah like he got a bodyguard named boomerang that's been with him for years and years and boom like hey man just listen what

he got to say and everything you got so I'm gonna do it when I did it it just changed my whole life right so I gotta give big ups to Steve man you know I call him on Steve and he knows what he's talking about and it's proven facts now because Steve can really do more than that on family feud but he can't do that much of some say his face will tell you everything what do you think I want to say you you don't say cuz people say some stupid stuff on the easy even like what he just put family few and have not been the same since the no start hosting that right yeah when you got your your first big money what did you splurge on you know I like call Shannon right you know I'm saying and I love Buick's okay I collect OB I got a collection of you I got a bunch of calls okay and I got that grand national Okay.

Oh, yeah. Friends with all of them. I'm friends with everybody. Everybody used to always try to say me and Lavelle Crawford had beef. We never had beef. Never had beef. We never had beef. Right. Never had beef. And one time he got mad about something and he commented on social media. So I ended up seeing him in Vegas and I was doing the Shack All-Star.

And they said, Lavelle, that's a 10 to come here. And he walked in and said, what's up, man? I said, look, pull out your phone. He pulled out his phone. I said, put my number in your phone. And he put his number in. I said, now, if you ever have a problem, just call. Right. I said, because people blow your phone and he put his number in I said now if you ever have a problem just call Right, I said those people blow stuff out of proportion right and I say none of this is true

I said so just calm and ever since then we've been tight as a draw Titles dry he funny. Yeah, hey Hey, man, oh, yeah He funny though, oh yeah, he's butler. He's funny, though. Oh, my God. He's funny, man. He's very funny. Let me ask you a question. If I say, Bruce, I need you to give me your Mount Rushmore comedian. Okay, I'm going to let you go because I think it's a little bit difficult because, you know,

you got the old era. So I'm going to let you do the old era, and I'm going to let you do this gen. So if I give you Mount Rushmore, the old school, who are you going to put on that? Maybe Richard Pryor. P Red Fox because because Milton Berle no That's all you get you get for my mate. Oh, no, you don't get both. That's my first. Okay, you get for me. Okay I knew I was school you use good school math. Not that good. Okay. I mean I I didn't change class I just stayed in the room. Yeah I just stayed in the room.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? K through 12. We'll holler at y'all later. Okay, this generation. Who makes me laugh? Tony Roberts. Okay. DC Youngfly.

Okay. Mike Yelps. Okay. And one more. He's not old, but he's not new, but he's old school. It's D.L. Hughley. Yeah. I love D.L., man. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, these guys, the comedians now, man, they just... But when you... You're the first guy that came out here, because normally when I have comedians on, I've had quite a few. I think I had about six or seven, right, CJ?

Had about six or seven on. They always talk about Chappelle. How has Chappelle been able to do and go to the heights? He walked away from his show. He said, I just needed a break because I found out they were laughing at me, not with me. And he came back and he's bigger, double, quadruple what he was when he left. Well, Dave Chappelle is very clever, and he's not a dummy. Very smart. Now, the walking away. You can walk away when you got $50 million in the bank.

Right. Okay? Yeah. If you ain't got no money, you ain't walking no way. I don't walk away until I come right back. You can walk to that microphone and say, you know, why did the chicken cross the road? You know what I'm saying? So, I love Dave.

We're good friends. Dave have came and saw many different shows. I've seen Dave. Dave is brilliant. Yeah. And he's brilliant at what he do. The way he can tell a story. Oh, my God.

His monologue at Saturday Night Live might have been the greatest monologue I had ever seen on that show. And they was trying to barcode him. I think he did a joke on the gay crew. Yeah, yeah. They was like, we don't want him on that show. And he went on there and just ripped it. He did. He lets nothing bother him.

Yeah. If he do, he never let us know. Because they can't take anything that's important from him. Not at all. Because he walked away, like you said, he walked away from $50 million. Oh, yeah. And if he does the show, it's going to sell out in five minutes anyway. Absolutely.

So everything that you could possibly take, you could take Hollywood, he don't want it. That's right. He had it, and he walked away from it. He walked away from $50 million, but he also had $50 million in the bank. So it's easy to come back. It's easy to go, If you got 50 million, you could be like, you know what?

Fuck this. Right. You know what I'm saying? And he was just winning regroup and got himself together. Right. But it's just like LeBron James.

Right. I met LeBron when he was 17 when he was in high school. But if something is bothering LeBron, you don't know it. No. He never show it.

He doesn't. He doesn't. I'm sure at home. Yeah. I'm sure at home his wife see him break down and why, why, why. But in the public, LeBron, he don't even phase it. Right. And I'm a LeBron James fan.

Die hard. Me too. Die hard. They're going to talk about him. He's played the whole 48 minutes and hit 40 points. He can't do it by himself. Right. AD just didn't show up.

I think he needs to trim it a little bit. If he trimmed that eyebrow. Just a little bit? Just a little bit. He can't do it by himself. Right. AD just didn't show up. I think he needs to trim it a little bit. If he trim that eyebrow right now. Just a little bit? Just a little bit. Then he can separate it. His eyes open up. I hope he don't get

a wee back there. I want him to see this. I look at the comedians and it started way back. You look at Cosby, did TV. You look at Red Fog. You saw Pryor.

You see all the top comedians do television said that attain a deep deal Hugh Blythe Steve Harvey a lot of them guys what is it do you think your weight held you back I think so that's a very good because I think so because people think you can't do it yet but you have to we have to prove ourselves. Right. We have to prove ourselves. It's like black people. We have to be overqualified to do a job. To get the marginal job.

Right. And I think it have, and I think people are scared now. Oh, I hope he don't fall out on stage. But what about the skinny people falling out on stage? Right. You know what I'm saying? But I'm going to create my own. Right.

And I'm going to make my own. Right. Because I saw you. I mean, you've been The Wash with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. And when I did that movie, let me tell you, I was so scared. I didn't know what to do. That was my first movie. Didn't know what to do.

But I wanted to be more agile in that movie. Snoop was like, let him do it. I wanted to roll on the ground like I was Supercop. You know what I'm saying? Right. But they kind of just, no, we don't want to do that. But Snoop and Dre was like, let him do it, man. Let it be him. Right.

They don't want to tell the history. It happened. It happened. That's right. It happened. It happened. The whole world saw it. It's kind of like they banned any books. Yeah. They don't want to tear out a history. It happened. It happened. That's right. It happened. Because you cut it out, don't mean it didn't happen. I had a friend in Europe come and say, did he just slap him? Right.

On stage? Because they saw it first. The time difference. He said, did he just? I said, yeah, it just happened. Show it. Let him talk about it. Right.

Let me tell you something. Did a show in Atlanta, Georgia, Civic Center. You know what Civic Center is. Yeah, I know it is. You've been there. And the promoter, he kind of worked me a little bit. On Fremont.

All right. So he wanted me to do this radio, that radio. I have no problem because I know how to do radio. Right. So the show sold out. The Civic Center don't sleep at like 4,500. Right. Sold out. The series isn't on seat, but like 4,500. Right. Sold out.

So when it's time to settle, he brings the paperwork out and says, your people made a mistake on the payout. I say, impossible. I said, I'd have never been at this show tonight if they made a mistake. He looked me dead in my eyes. He said, personally, I do not think you're worth the money to ask him. I said, really? I said, it's really funny because your shows are sold out. I said, I've been doing it.

The show was on a Saturday. I said, I've been doing radio all day Thursday for you and all day Friday to sell your shows out. He tried to give me less than what I. What did he ask you? What did he agree to pay you? I said, look, I'm not the man to argue with you and I like that I suppose two things gonna happen you gonna give it to me now are you gonna get it to me later but you gonna give it to me right you don't say and I call my people and they like Bruce

he is totally lying everything he end up paying me the money later but the the crazy thing he called back to try to book me on another show And all money good money.

I said I'm not worth the money remember Wow, yeah, so I've been there I had guys to pay me and they said man that go you check right there on the table That's that's that that needs a bad taste in my mouth. Why you didn't give it to me? And when I got into the bag, to the bank, it was fake. It was a fake cashier check. So how'd you get your money back?

We had to get a lawyer and get it back. We got the money back, but he could never say, hey, I gave it to him. And he left it on the table so I can get it myself. Right. It's all kind of slick stuff. I don't know if you heard T.I. I haven't really heard a whole lot of T.I., but T.I. T.I., everybody know he's the king of this. He calls himself the king of the South. I love T.I. I haven't really heard a whole lot of T.I., but T.I. T.I., everybody know he's the king of this.

He calls himself the king of the South. I love T.I. He's been on the show. How difficult is it what he's doing? He's really good at one thing, and he branches off into your world. Okay. I did City Winery in Atlanta last year, first time. They never did comedy there, and I sold the whole show.

I did five shows, sold them out. And T.I. came down and did some time. Right. And he wanted me to critique his set. And I watched him. I told him, you're good, but you're going to get better the more you're on stage. And he's actually doing very well. Okay.
