The conversation opens with a debate around traditional expectations—whether men should provide financially without commitment and whether women should fulfill traditional roles without marriage. Mojo challenges the imbalance, emphasizing that relationships should be rooted in reciprocity, not obligation. Mojo then shares the origin of his viral catchphrase “I know you f***ing lyin,” explaining how real-life moments shaped his comedic voice. He breaks down how his “toxic” skits are intentionally exaggerated to reflect real behaviors in relationships, holding a mirror up to both men and women. His goal isn’t just comedy—it’s awareness, helping people recognize patterns they may ignore in real life. As the discussion deepens, he highlights a major issue in dating: lack of communication. He argues that most relationship problems don’t stem from money or infidelity, but from unspoken expectations. When partners fail to clearly express what they want, it creates confusion, resentment, and conflict. Accountability becomes a key theme, with him stressing that relationships cannot grow unless both people take responsibility for their actions instead of shifting blame. The conversation also explores double standards in dating, including cheating, forgiveness, and emotional responses. He shares his perspective that women tend to be more forgiving, while men often struggle with ego when faced with betrayal. He also reflects on how modern dating—especially in the social media era—has changed the way people approach relationships, accountability, and loyalty. Co-parenting and boundaries are another major focus, particularly when it comes to navigating relationships with a child’s mother. Mojo speaks on the importance of not creating false hope and being honest about intentions, encouraging men to let go if they cannot provide the relationship their partner truly wants. He also shares his stance on parenting, including waiting a significant amount of time before introducing new partners to children and maintaining a stable environment. Blending humor with honesty, Mojo Brookzz delivers a raw and relatable perspective on love, mistakes, growth, and the realities of modern relationships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

is one of the most impactful digital voices on the comedy tour. One of the top influential comedians in the game one of a variety's top ten comics to watch.

That list includes alumni, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, and Tiffany Haddish, a prominent Chicago-based comedian and the Emmy Award winning

content creator a nationally acclaimed and celebrated stand-up comedian, a multi-hyphened actor, writer-producer, and a father, a viral media star, the most toxic man on the internet, one of the funniest men on your timeline. I know you fucking line, Mojo Brooks. That's good. I do you right?

That was good, man. Bro, I mean, I remember the first time that you popped up on my timeline one of your skits, bro. I got to toast you for that. Because I've been waiting on this. I've been waiting to try something of this. Let me know what you think, that. It's smooth.

Very smooth. You don't need no, I thought we were going to need a little chase. No, no, no, no, no. No, I'm light skins. I need a little sprit or something go out of that. That's smooth, though. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Yeah. Check us out. As a comedian, and I've had a lot of comedians, you know, you watch the show, you know, I love comedians because you guys are very entertaining and you got a great story to tell. Yeah. comedian's job is to take events personal, what you see around, and make it funny. Absolutely. To come up with that line, I know you effing line.

Yeah. What situation did call you to use that line? Man, you know what? You know, some of the stuff like those type of lines, it just, sometimes it just fits right there, depending on, you know, whatever the situation is. But I've been saying that, you know, for forever. But before I even, you know, was putting it in, you know, in my skits, man. I remember the first time that I said it, I got a little sister.

And she's about three years younger than me. And I remember the first time she got pregnant. And I ain't even know she was doing them type of thing. So I remember when my mama called me like, yeah, your sister pregnant, I know you're fucking. I know. So, you know, it's always been in the bag, man. And I think, you know, one day I was just shooting the skit and I just, it just came out.

And it stuck, man. And everybody started saying it. So what do you think is there a right or wrong time to use it? Because you use it a lot and when you fill it in, you like, I can see that situation. Because we say that a lot. If somebody say something, I know you lie. I know you. Ain't no way in hell.

You lying, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like when you hearing something that it just don't make no sense, that's when you're supposed to say it. That's like when you hear that lie. Right. Oh, come on. I know you lying. Boy, that popped up.

I said, I know you lying. That mama's shit. I ain't going to lie, though, unk. I'll just put that in my little repertoire. Why that? What you put it in? Yeah, that's my, whatever the name is. That's my Britney right there.

That's my Britney. You were named the most toxic man on the internet. Yeah. You like it. You're like, come on, now I ain't that toxic. You know what? I do like it. You know, that's what I was going for.

I think, really, when I started doing the skits, the kind of, you know, I was doing the toxic skits. It was really to shine light on what a lot of relationships are going through. Yes. But it was also to show the men that act like this like, hey, you might not think you look crazy, but this is exactly what you look like. Right. You know, when you're doing a lot of the things that you're doing.

And, you know, a lot of people, I've had people that, you know, that's seen the skits and stuff like that and be like, man, it's triggered me. And it's, I feel like it's almost good to be. able, you know what I'm saying, to show someone, because you can hear it all the time, you're toxic. Right. Right. But to see something, because a lot of this. To have them step back from it.

And look at it and say, you know what? Right. I am the problem. Right. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like I'm helping the world. I'm saving relationships one day at a time. Who do you think are more toxic?

Men and women? Women. Women, just for the simple fact that they're more emotional? They're more emotional. You know what I'm saying? I think men, we're more logical. I feel like the most toxic thing that most women do is they assume we're supposed to already know what it is that they want.

Right. You know what I'm saying? Whereas like, if you don't say it to us, how we know you want it. You know what I'm saying? And I think that in itself is toxic just to assume that I'm just going to know exactly, you know, what it is that you want because we don't move that way. No. You know what I'm saying?

We'll let you know. This is what I want. Yeah, probably one of the most having a therapist, and I remember when I was talking to seeing her, and, you know, she was telling me, she said, She said, you think it's finances or you think it's infidelity that causes a relationship to end. Yeah.

She said, but it's uncommunicated expectations. Absolutely. You expect one thing, but you don't communicate that to her. She expect another thing, but she doesn't communicate that to you. Absolutely. And so now you have uncommunicated expectations. Well, you ain't taking me out?

Well, you didn't tell me you wanted to go out. You didn't take me to this restaurant. Well, you didn't tell me you didn't want to go there. Well, you didn't tell me that you wanted this or you didn't tell me you wanted that. So we have expectations, but we're not communicating those expectations. And I think, and I think how can you hold me accountable for something that you didn't ask me? That I didn't know. That I didn't know.

You know what I'm saying? It's different if I knew. Yes. And I didn't do that. Correct. Now that's something that you can hold me accountable for because I told you this is what I wanted. This is what I need out of his relationship. If you're not saying it, how am I knowing that I'm not giving you what you need?

Do give me what you want. Yeah. Right. What is the most toxic thing that you've seen women do? Because I'm watching your skis, man. We're going to get to your skin. Because I want to know if men really, really behave like that. Man, one of the most toxic things that I've seen women do, I've seen, I've seen women cry over.

over men, like crying about a man that they're dealing with while they were cheating on them. Oh, my goodness. So... Really? Yeah. Yeah, my baby mama did that. Oh, Lord. I ain't mean you to bring nobody's name.

No, I ain't say her name. I just didn't know what they're going to do that. She's going to know, she's going to see it. Like, now why would you go? But I said when I met her, she had a guy. And I just remember one day she was. was just boo-hoo crying about the guy. And I'm like, I just was over there.

What are you crying about? He should be crying. If he knew what we was doing, he would be crying. But I just think that, I don't know, just that in itself is like, why are you crying? Right. Y'all doing the same thing to each other. What are we crying about?

I just, I- It's a situation that, yeah, I'm doing it, and I know it's wrong, but I really don't want you to be doing it. Because I think I think I'm getting one up on you. As long as I got one up on you, we can't be even. We can't. Listen, the remote controller can't be on two plus.

All right. It's only one. You remember back in the day somebody wanted to play the game with you, you ain't really plugged theirs all the way here. You put it up underneath the game, make them think they was playing. That's really what that is. And I just think it's just, it's not fair. Did you see the video with our analytics that she said,

I regret that I gave toxic men attention instead of the good ones? I didn't see that, but I think that's her holding herself accountable. I like it. I love it. I like accountability. I love it. That's the only way that I'm in a relationship. That's the only way that it can work.

Right. Is that because I'm an accountable person. Yes. I've never blamed anything on anybody else. Like if things went wrong in my life, I always went and pinpoint what I did wrong or what I could have done differently to avoid the situation. Right. So I think while in Dayton, I feel like a lot of times, and this is not. not all women, but it is a good amount of women that they skip over what their part was in,

you know, a particular situation that they were in. They skip over that and just want to talk about what happened to them. And it's no accountability at all. And that's my biggest thing. If you can't take accountability, you don't know what that is, I can't deal with you. Right. And don't look, this is what you made me do? No, you did that.

You did that? I didn't make you do that. Because you had choices. You did that. And if I'm wrong, I'm like you, Mo. If I'm wrong, I'm mad enough to say I'm wrong. I'm never going to be too big, too proud to this or to that to say, you know what, I was wrong. I was wrong.

And I apologize. And I apologize. And not if, not if a situation, because sometimes people like to do a caveat. If I made you feel. If I offended you. I hate that one. Bro. If I offended.

You did. I'm telling you how you made me feel. Correct. So just acknowledge that. Take accountability and let's move on. Yes. I wish. But I like that.

I like that. And I think, and you said something very interesting. You said that's really the only way that we're going to be, you will be able. I don't know if you stay in a situation like that, but that's the only way you can move forward is that you accept responsibility, you accept accountability. And you're like, okay, I was wrong in this situation. I should have did X, Y, and Z. I should have handled like this.

Because if you don't, you're going to find yourself in that same situation again. And it's like, and if I'm telling you that this situation made me, I felt the way about it. You know what I'm saying? Then just respect that. And just say, hey, I apologize. If you wanted to work. Right. If you don't want it to work, then, you know, keep going about it, how you're going about it.

But if it's something that you want to work, at some point, you have to be able to look in the mirror and say, you know what, I did that. Nobody's perfect. Right. You know, that's just the best thing about it because it may be a day that I have to take accountability. I might have to say, hey, you know what, what I did was wrong. And you didn't deserve that. Right. I apologize.

I take full accountability. It won't happen again. So I just, I feel like it just can't work. And I feel like a lot of times people make excuses. Oh, I did that because of this. So I did that. Like at the end of the day, your excuses does not justify how I feel. Just take accountability, apologize, and let's move on.

I'm going to give you a perfect example. Okay. A woman get cheated on, they cry, they fuss, they do all that, and they take them back. How many times have we seen women take back a cheat man? But you know they're going to get their lick back that mode. They're going to get their lick back. But the thing about it is when women get their lick back, you will never know. That's what I'm saying.

But when you find out... Yeah, but when you find out, you're not going to forgive her. Even though you, listen, listen, men get cheated on and we don't tell nobody. Hell now. I ain't going to get cheated on and call you like, Shannon. Bro, you ain't going to believe this. You ain't going to believe this. You know what I'm saying?

Because it's too much, it's almost an ego thing. It is. I think that's one of the biggest things that can really hit a man ego is another man having a woman. Yeah. So men aren't that, it is some men that be forgiven. Yeah. I ain't one up. It is some men that's forgiven, you know, to situations like that.

And listen, teach us on. If you can find a way to navigate and get around that and figure out, you know, what y'all need to do to move forward so that she's not doing those things. Hey, kudos to you. But me personally, like, I always look at it like this. If I'm in a relationship and I get called cheetah, I don't want you to forgive me. I don't don't take me back get rid of me if I get called

if I get called cheating if I get caught cheating get rid of me why so we are what you just say they're going to get their leg back don't get it back leave me I was wrong I take accountability leave me don't do that to me it is a situation like

like you said dating private break up in private date publicly you got to break up publicly And a lot of times when you are a public and you're in the public eye and things happen, they find out about it. It makes it more difficult because we can navigate behind the scenes, Mo. Yes. We can go to therapy. We can talk this out.

Like, look here, baby. Look, I know I've been wrong. I know I've done some things in the past that I'm not proud of. And I appreciate you loving me, all the scars, and you help me. This situation really hurt because when you think about it, now there are some women. Now, this Gen Z is different because they think like a man. They don't look at like. Because normally when I was growing up, if a woman got a lick back, she really cared about that guy.

Hold on. If she got a lick back, she cared about the other dude, right? Yes, yes. No, and here's the thing. That's why I don't leave me. Yeah. Because you care about it. Bro, now, like you said, this new generation, they're different.

They go to the club. That night, you come with me. That's different. You are right about that. Back in the day, if they went to get their lick back, it was a dude that's been in the cut waiting for a little. while. That thing been brewing. The workboy slow and low. You know, you're cooking meat, slow and slow and low. That thing been brewing about 200

for about 24 days. Missing roast. And it's falling out the bowl. It's falling out the bone. He's been waiting on it. Yes. Now, I'm cool. And you know, and you know because every man, every man had been there. You've been the man waiting. Yes. And as soon as your time come to shine, you do

not lay off. I don't want no one. I'm like bam. I'm like bam last night. I go for 83. You hear what I mean? I go for 83. Turner, every which way but lose. Yes. I don't want none of that.

I'm cool. So, and that's what I'm saying right there. Like you said, they different these days. Back then, and that is, when I was coming up, that is how I used to think like, if they're going to do that, it's somebody that they've been. And it's always been the case. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's no random.

It's no random. Like, oh, yeah. No, no, women are more methodical. They, that guy, they had somebody, maybe it's not. They really want to get that lick back. It's somebody you know, somebody close. Because they wanted to hurt. They wanted to hurt.

Ooh. They wanted to hurt. They go get your homeboy. Oh, Lord. Now, he ain't get my homeboy no more, though. I know you lies. I know you. It depends on how much you love him.

If you love her, if your homeboy do that. He wasn't love your homeboy. He's been laying in the cup for a minute. I mean, he's been laying in the cup for a minute. But who's the woman, though? I think that's when it comes to play. Is this a woman that you look? I don't care.

My home boy, look, when I say homeboys, Bucking and Burns. Okay. When I say Bucking and Burns, they already know. Okay, so, so, so, let me just make sure I got this understanding then.

So let's just say, you know, let's just say you got a little lineup. You got about five little chicks. That's on your lineup. I'm not saying this what you got. Yeah, okay, I understand. You got a little line. Yeah, I was held when I was well.

Okay. All right, so bad. It was far far away. So bam, you got your lineup. Yeah. Ocho come hit number five on your lineup, on the slick. He hit a number five and he come and tell you like, hey, number, you know, woo, woo, me. Is he cut?

No. She cut. No. The way I look at it like this, first of all, Ocho got a lady, Cambodia. I noticed they have a- Yeah, Ocho, you good. I'm just using it. Hypothetically.

Yeah, hypothetically. But this is the way it works. Okay. You get to protect one. That's the rule. You only get the bill of the house. You can put this one in bars and surround wrap. and put it on the top shelf.

You get one. One. You cannot. You cannot get a team. No, no, no. You protect the quarterback. There you go. The line and the wide receiver

the knee runnyback, oh well, fend for yourself. Fend for yourself. I'm just keeping it a step with you. You can't get mad at me about the left guard. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. You can't get mad to me.

Now, your quarterback? Yeah. I got to respect that. Bubble round on the top shelf. All right, cool. Yeah. Cool. I'm with that.

I'm with that. I'm with that. I'm with that. I'm with that. But a lot of you're scared. have to do with like baby mama and you coming over there and she needs something. I mean, do guys really be doing that, be trying to go back and hit baby mama? Yeah, absolutely.

Lewis Hamilton, Crapicorn, Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also. a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story,

a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also is the co-host of the away end, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids.

My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game. and I fell in love. On our new podcast, the Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player

on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.

but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that?

And this is Freddie Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments

that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is, because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow.

And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app,

You're going back over there. Anytime you've got to go over there. Because the baby mama's know what they be doing. They put a little shorts on, come open the door. I'm going to go get the baby. No, I'm going to come upstairs with you. You know what I'm saying? But you got to get to the point where that you understand, you know what I'm saying,

that having that type of dynamic with your baby mama is not going to allow you to really enjoy your life outside of it. Nope. And you're giving up false hope. And you got, yeah, so you got to, you have to, you got to, you got to, you got to, You got to stop, you have to stop that. Once you stop that, then you're going to live a way more peaceful life. And then allow them, my thing I always been this, if you know what your baby mama won't, you know she wants the family, you know she wants the husband, you know she wants,

and you know you're not willing and ready to get that to her. Let her go find it. Let her go find that. If that's what she wants and you know you can't give it to her, let her go find it. You know what I'm saying? But I, but it's real, though. I know dudes right now feel like, hey, that's my baby mama. That's my dad.

That ain't no lifetime booty call, bro. You got to be able to let her go. Bro, for some dudes it is. I'm telling him, I don't seen it. So you feel- I got a homeboy right now, got 10 kids. He thinks all his baby mamas is still his. He got six baby moms.

He thinks all of them is still his. I know you effing lie. I ain't. I ain't lie. But that's not fair to her. It's not. And remember what we just said, you only get to protect one. Yes.

You know what I'm saying? So you got six, but you think they are yours because you had a baby by me. You just got to understand that's it. Like, y'all had a baby. That's it. Somebody else going to, because then what? Then what? What does she have a baby by somebody else?

Now, does y'all baby mama? Yeah. See what I'm saying? Yeah. And you trying to, you're trying to hoard and talk about what you're doing with him. What you mean what I'm doing with him? You over there got whoever, God knows who you got. I ain't asking you, no question.

I ain't asked you questions. Don't ask me, no. And don't try to come run my house. Don't try to do that. Don't try to do that. Damn. Don't try to do that. Don't try to do that.

How soon should you introduce the new lady to kids? Let's just say for the sake of argument, your kid. You got a kid. How long do you wait? Do you wait a month, two months, three months a year? How much time should pass before you introduce the lady to the kid? I mean, I think that depends. Me personally, I would say maybe about a year.

Maybe about a year. And, you know, just me personally, I'm very, like, overprotective with my daughter because she is, you know, she, she, she a people person. Yeah. So it's like, if daddy say, hey, she cool. She's going to gravitate towards her. Yeah, she cool. You know what I'm saying? And I don't want it to be a revolving door.

I don't want my daughter to see me as that type of man that just got all these different women. And, you know, now she's 25 years old. She's like, oh, daddy, there'll go another one. Oh, daddy, there'll go another one. So, I, me personally, I would say about a year that you do that. For women, I think they should wait five years before. Make sure. Damn, they're engaged.

Sure. Yeah. And you got, man, I just think it's just so crazy out here nowadays. And especially, man, you know, I think, you know, some of these, you know, parents with little girls. And, you know, you introduce them, you bringing different men. around your daughter and you start hearing all these crazy stories about, you know, these men trying to talk to their stepdaughters and all that crazy stuff like that. So I think I maybe I'm pushing it with the five years, but I think it should be very, very

detailed, very extensive before you just get to bringing men around your kids. Yeah, you got to know you're going to be with this man for some time. I mean, the situation you dating for a couple of, well, come meet the kids and let's go, hey, let's take the kids to the park or let's take the kids to get some of the kids. I was dating a chick one time, bro. and she was ready to introduce her daughter to me within like the first two months and I was like, you know, out of respect for her father,

I'm a pass. Right. And she was like, well, if we're going to be together and I said, yeah, I don't know that. Right. I know you two months. Right. You want to meet your daughter?

I said, no. I said because me being a father, if I knew my baby mother was dealing with a man for two months and you ready to bring my daughter to his house to meet him, Like, no, we got to have a conversation. That ain't now, that's no. Hell no. I know you lying.

Let me ask you this. Could your baby mama, your child, your co-parent, your co-parent, I hate using that term. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I don't want, because people are going to try to cancel us both. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We talk about baby mama. So, co-parent. So, co-parent.

So your co-parent has another dude. Can the dude discipline your child? Hell no. Okay, okay, we're done. That's what we're at. Discipline mine, I'm going to discipline you. Discipline my child? Yeah, yeah.

All right. All right. If my daughter ever called me, ever called me. Yeah, yeah. Listen to him. You know, my co-parenting partner, you know what I'm saying, is in a relationship, whatever case may be. You know, respectfully, I would let him know, like, hey, if she does anything. Right.

That you feel is going to be able to try to get. Respecting your home. Call me. Yes. And I'll take care of that. Absolutely. You know what I'm saying? But do not, don't put your hands on my child.

That's exactly. That's the way I am. I told my kids, I said, look, I want you to treat that man just like you would treat me. Respect. You would not take, you not talk back. You're not going to be reckless. If he tell you, sit down, if he tell you to stop, you stop. Now, now.

Now. I told them all, man. I had no conversation. I say, I'm never going to try to run your home from afar. I can't do it. This is your home. Yeah. But you know how I am.

Don't have. I want them kids called. Please. Please. Because behind mine, we can go there. Yeah. And I've never had, I've never had no problems. I've never had the kids because I've always taught my kids and the co-parent has done a great job of being respectful.

Being respectful. That's all. Because at the end of that, that's a man. No matter what you think of him, that is a man. And your mom chose to be with him. Yeah. You're going to respect that. Yeah.

And if he there, especially if he there and paying bills. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Respect. But yeah, don't put your hand, don't keep your hands. Everybody keep yourself. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? When you found that your, your co-parent was seeing someone else. Okay. What went through you like, damn, I let a good one go. Okay, she happy. So what was going through your mind? You know what? Not so much like I let a good one go.

You know what I'm saying? You know, when my daughter's mom, you know, she, you know, she met, me, you know, right and, right, you know, right towards the part right when I got ready to take comedy series. Yeah, you feel to blow up. You know what I'm saying? And I was so focused on that. I really couldn't, I couldn't really pay attention to the type of woman that she was.

Right. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, it was just one of them things where I was just so locked in on the dream, it was either going to be that or this. Right. And I wanted this so bad, not just for me, but for my daughter. And she wasn't, she needed so much more for me that I wasn't able to give it that time. You know what I'm saying?

So, you know, when she got to the point where, you know, she wanted to move on and, you know, she's all that. Like I said earlier, if I can't give you these things and you feel like just somebody can, then you got every right to go and do that. I'm not going to stop you from doing it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to do my part. I'm going to take care of my daughter. And if y'all need anything, you know what I'm saying, that I can do?

I worked hard enough to be able to help you out. And I have. You know what I'm saying? Anytime, you know, my big mama need to make this move and make that move. And, you know, she's had businesses that I've helped invest into. Because honest to God, true, I would not be where I'm at without the sacrifices that she's made. You know what I'm saying? To have my daughter as much as she has her.

Right. And, you know, the time that she invest into the, you know, the extracurriculum activities and, you know, making sure that, you know, if she needs to. she's tutoring, she's getting tutoring. All those little things that I don't have to worry about that allows me to go out in the world and be funny and do what I need to do, she sacrificed so that I can do those things. So it'll never be a time where that if she needed my help, like, that I wouldn't help her. Now, once, you know, you got your man and your man is there and, you know, I would just hope that she would get a man that's going to be able to make sure she's strong.

the same way that I would. Because sometimes they'll be looking at you, hey, get him to do it. He's making all that money. He got Kate. No, bro. Bro, she with you. She with you.

Stop counting my pockets. The only thing I'm responsible for is the little one over there. That's it. I'm gonna make sure she's straight, but, bro, don't have her calling me. Because that's my first question gonna be. Where old boy is?

What he'd do it? What do you mean? What you mean you ain't got to rent money? Wait a minute, hold on. Ain't he sleeping over there every night? Yes. Yeah, you got to get a new man. Absolutely.

If I got to send anything over there for something that I'm not. Right. That's not of my responsibility. Right. And you got a man. Then I got to talk to you like you, my little sister. And that's the thing about my baby mom. I wouldn't tell her nothing that I wouldn't tell my closest friend, my closest female friend, or my sisters.

Like, I would tell her like, hey, you got to do better than this. You know what I'm saying? Because here's the thing. When you were dealing with me, you would. wouldn't let me do the bare minimum. Yes. So why is this? Why did he get a pass now?

Because I got a few dollars. Because they be in the ear. They know he got it. You know he got it. They know about the money before your baby, mom do. Yeah. Oh, you know he in the NFL now.

You know he got it. You know what he got for that last and put that we don't want to us to. You know what he got? He don't know nothing. Just put it in the air. You know, because people really count your pockets. They do, absolutely. There go.

Oh, man. There's this many people at the show or. Bro, I put up a post that from our tour last year where I sold over 86,000 tickets. Right. Somebody came right back to me. I said, damn, so you made. That's what I'm saying? And when you're charging $30, $50, $75,000, even if we did $86,000 at $35,000, let's do $86,000.

On the low end, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And they can make, that's what you mean. But what I think people don't really pay attention to is they don't know what it costs to get there. Yes. They don't know who you had to bring with you. Yep. You know what I'm saying?

It's the production. It's so much that go. It's so much they go into it, but they'll break that. I'm telling you. And Uncle Sam on his cut. So you got to have that with Uncle Sam. You got to pay Uncle Sam. Yeah.

Because if you don't, they come, they come Holley. He's the only guy to get paid for doing no work. And you know when they start calling? Because first they'll send a letter. Yeah. Then they're called. When they call, you better figure something out. But the thing with Uncle Sam, he let that thing go.

Because he don't let it. He don't want you right now because he knows you can pay it. You know you can pay it. He got to let you go. He wants you to. Oh, oh, yeah. You got to pay it. And I'm going to tell you, a shout out to my mama.

Because when I first, I want to say, you know, when I really first started making some money was during the pandemic. Yeah. And I remember my mom was like, I'm happy for you. But, you know, you got to pay taxes on that money. Right. And I'm like taxes. So you're like, yeah, you've been paying taxes, you know, because you're working a regular job. They was taking the taxes out.

Yeah. So I was like, she's like, you ain't been sending them to them. nothing at you. I said, send a who? Send nobody nothing. It's my money. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, you don't really realize that game until you really actually touching some money. You'd be like, damn.

I got to send them how much? And they want it. Yeah. That's why you better pay quarterly. You start making some money pay them quarterly. Quarterly. Because you don't want that money, that one big check to go out. Oh, it add up. It add up. Oh, my mama told me a number one day.

I remember just from from the 2020 tax return, and I had it all set up bad, Shana. I had that money coming under my Social Security number. I didn't have an LLC. I didn't have nothing. I was just not knowing just business. I just was not, I'm just making money happy.

Buying cars, I'm just happy. And, you know, I think I owed them like $100,000. And I said, well, they want all at one? Mm-hmm. They want all they want. Yeah. They take a payment from it. But that interest, they will.

The interest that they charge you ain't what the interest that they give you when they owe you. When they owe you. But they ain't, they ain't gonna talk about when they owe you. Like, okay, your daughter's birthday. Yes. Or get together function. Yes. You go together, the co-parent significant other there, y'all go, y'all, hey, bro, what's up?

Y'all daff up, y'all. Oh, no. Damn, mo. No, I'm not saying that. You know what I'm saying? Because right now, I don't know what my baby mama got going on. You know what I'm saying? She's secretive about it?

She, I ain't going to say, I don't ask, man. You don't want to know who around your child? If somebody's going to be around my child, she's going to let me know. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, if somebody's going to be around, my expectation is that, you know, she's going to let me know. But birthday parties, you know, maybe like the last couple years we've been doing a little different where I made, like this year, we was in Minneapolis. So I flew my daughter out to work with me.

We went to the Mall of America and I took on a shopping spree and then, you know, back home, my big mama did a skating party for, and I had just got back in town. I pulled up for the last hour to skate party. But, you know, in an event that, you know, a situation like that happened, if the dude cool, pull up. Pull up. Bring a gift. Don't just come and eat cake.

Bring a gift. So had you ever had an issue with your co-parents' other partner? No. No. Like I said, as long as everything is. is respectful. We ain't got to... We ain't got to hustle.

We don't got to go there. But if you want to go there... No, don't say if you want to go there. You don't want to go there. Just leave... I don't put it in there. Because let me tell you something. Because they think because I'm life-skinned

that I won't take it up. They try you. They're going to try you. I will take it with however far you want to take it. Put the glass back on. They're going to look at them lying and say, not you ain't going to do nothing. You're right.

I'm going to take it as far as they want to take it, though. I'm going to take it as far as they want. want to take it back. No, bro. See, they're going squabble with you. See, I'm shooting a brother's side. Ain't nobody squabbed it. You know what? You definitely shoot a brother's size. And I will tell you something. When Mike told you,

when Mike told you, he didn't get him out of here lying. I ain't say I'm going to shoot you. But no, he did clean up. He said, I ain't say I was going to do it. But he did say, I ain't going to fight you. You're too big. And that's real. You are too big. I'll have to bite you.

I ain't going to lie to you. Situation. Would you ever consider getting back with your baby? No. Too much damage? That is your family. I'm sure your daughter would love that. Get you all back together, the family back together.

Yeah, no. You know? No. Everybody wanted, you know, Shaq and Kobe wrested Kobe's soul. They wanted the big band to get back together. They had had so much success. Here's the thing. I don't think that my baby mama could really handle the pace of my lifestyle right now.

now and I need to be with a woman that is a understand that they understands that that's strong got to be strong give a ad to be yeah because you're gonna be you're gonna be you're on the road probably to what 200 250 300 day or year most of the year and and you're around beautiful women all the time and you up late at night but your schedule is different as a comedian yes because your day don't normally start till 9 10 o'clock at night you work basically you're Graveyard you've got. Yeah. Honestly, we get up.

The first show, like, you know, it depends on how many shows you're doing that day. The first show normally at like 6, 7 o'clock, you're at the comedy club to make about one in the morning. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You don't go to bed until most people, most people are getting up by the time you go to be. About 2, 3 in the morning is when I finally get to lay down.

And then what a lot of people don't understand is that my creative process happens in the middle of the night. Right. So it may be 2, 3 in the morning. I'm trying to go to sleep, but my mind won't shut off. And I'm writing all this different material and ideas and stuff like that. So I just, you know, honestly, with that situation, I just, I don't, I don't, no. Could you see yourself dating a woman with kids?

Ocho, my partner, he's like, bro, I don't want no woman unless you got at least two kids. Absolutely, I would. Absolutely. Not a problem. I got a limit. Two? Three, four, five? Once we get up to the threes and the four.

That's too much. Yeah. Then it's like how many baby dad has you got? Because the thing about it is, when you're dating a woman with kids, right? It's dealing with, it's dealing with... I don't like other men in my situation. You know what I'm saying?

It's something about you being with a woman with the kid and the kid is on the phone with their dad and you hear the dad say, put your mom on the phone. For what? What did you got to talk to her for? Like, why you got to talk? Like, that's my woman now.

Yeah. You know, you didn't talk to the kid, but you got to talk to my girl for. But you've got to understand, like, they made that together, so it's conversations they got to have. Right. So if you got two, three of them calling. Oh, yeah, that might be a book, yeah. No, I can't deal with you on the phone with all these different men all day long. You know what I'm saying?

Because all of us, they're going to get along. It's just a law of average. Somebody ain't going to like you. And then, you know, in my situation, you know, with what I'm doing in my career and stuff, that, you know, dudes, I just feel like they try to, you know, they try to find a way to one up you. And when you, when you're dealing with their baby mama, you can go back to the conversation. A dude feel like, hey, I don't care where he got, who he is.

At the end of the day, that's my baby mama. And dudes a move like that. So it's just, I would rather, I could date a one with kids, one or two. That's it. And I think women with kids are way more nurturing, they're way more, you know, responsible and it's not that women without kids aren't any of those things. I'm just saying that I've seen it more. I think women that that don't have kids just from the experiences that I've had,

sometimes they come off a little selfish. You know, they think they bigger than the program and it just, yeah. Who are you on dating apps? You good with dating apps? Would you get on a dating app? No. I just couldn't imagine going viral because my face popped up on Tinder. I'm cool.

Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now?

It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that pushed us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right?

Yes. And I'm a little behind on the rent. I'm a little behind on the car, no.

Can you help with this? After one date? Yeah, it's real. They're really doing that night? Hell yeah. Come on, Moe. Not after one date. Maybe after a couple of months.

My right hand of God. My right hand of guy, I got a homeboy. Just over, I want to say, last weekend. He dealt with his chick or whatever. And one night, the next day, she hit him when the message was like, and I'm trying to move. I need like four bands. he showed me the message.

Hold on, you just... So when did you decide you were going to move before or after me? Because it damns your sleeve like you decided to move. You were doing just fine. Yes! So, and then it's like... So then, you know, he takes about like,

like, well, if he don't come up with it, what you're going to do? And she's like, I don't know. Sound like a good response to me. Yeah, and then so he like... I don't know either. I don't know either. I don't know either. So neither one of us know.

what the hell going on. Here's my thing with that, though. It's like, I don't mind helping anybody. Nope. I don't mind it at all. If I got it, yes. I can help you. I help you.

But I feel like sometimes, you know, everything these days is just so transaction. Yeah, it is. You know what I'm saying? But my thing is, if you're going to ask me for the money, ask me first. Yes. Before we get involved. Right. Like, if you're going to ask for the $4,000, let me know before we lay down.

Right. Tomorrow, I'm going to ask you for $4,000. So that way I could decide if I want to lay down. Or ask you like, oh, we start so, so where are you? We get together. We start seeing each other. Are you cool with helping me with some bills if I fall behind? If I fall behind on my card node, if I ask you to do this, X, Y, and Z.

Is that something that I can ask you for? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah. But they just spring it on you and it's like, damn, like 4,000? Today? It's Tuesday. American dollars?

Yeah. Pay so's? You know, and it's like, man, I don't know what's happened, man, but I sing something the other day, bro. It was like a woman was like, man, a dude should be paying me just because I'm giving him my time. What? Is that what we are now?

That's what we at. That's what I'm going to tell you, these dudes with these podcasts to sit down and they did all these, these interviews where they're like, man, if a dude ain't giving you $5,000 a month, he don't really love you. for dude and it's like, when did we get that? Because I know for a fact, my granddaddy won't give my grandmama that. No.

He might give her a check, but it wasn't much. It was like $55, $75, $75. Go pay the rent. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, it's just, I don't know, it's just like. Do people realize how much like $5,000? If somebody just say $5,000, do you realize how much $5,000 a month is when you times it 12?

They don't. So just think about how much he. So let's just say for the sake of argument. So what's he going to do at this place? Does he live? Does he have a car? Does he have to pay rent? No.

Does he have to pay bills? This is what I'm saying, though. They go based off what they think you have. Right? Right. So if they think, you got to think, if they think you have it, they're going to ask for it. Right. They think you got it.

They're going to ask you for it. Right. You know what I'm saying? They're going to look at you and they're going to say, I'm wearing the tight clothes. He got $5,000. They're going to ask you for it. Listen, the tight of them clothes get, the more money in the money. That's why I've been loosening my clothes up.

You see? I've been wearing big pants and everything later. Well, I better get some 40s then. Get some big pants. I'm telling you, OG, once the clothes start getting tight, they're like, okay. He got it. And they're going to try to squeeze it out of you. No, uh-uh.

But that's real, though. I don't know where we're at in the times now, but it's like, you know, you got to pay to have a woman these days. It costs. Marriage. You looking to get married? Would you like to get married anytime soon? Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I want all of that. I feel like, you know, having a good woman by your side. Yeah. One good woman by your side that you can consistently, you know, be with. Once you start popping out and you've got all these different women, your life is just in the flux. It's just chaos.

And I've been there, bro. I've been there where I've had to hear. Six, seven girls on a roster. Compared to when I've gotten one, my life is totally different. Now I've just got to argue with this one instead of the seven. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I can do that. But it's just not to me. It's just not worth it. I'd rather have one woman. We build this brick by brick. And at the end of it all, I got one person that I can get this all to. That's still by my side through the ups and the downs. it's nothing better than that.

My parents have been together over 30-some years. Wow. So that's all. So that's what you know. That's what I know. That's what I know. I don't know nothing. You know, I've seen other things,

but what I know is that my parents, almost 40 years this year that they've been together. Wow. And through the hard times, I've seen them go through the hard and the good. Yes. You know what I'm saying? But I don't know what this came up,

that everything's supposed to be, you know, gold-paid rolls and roses and- Social media. They got us mess up. You got to think every relationship you see on that be happy. They be happy until now all of a sudden the blogs and gathered. And all of a sudden they don't deleted all the other stuff. I said, hold on.

You were just happy laughing. How you delete everything? I saw all these photos and now they're gone. Now they're gone. But that go back to what you said is dating privately. You don't got to go through all of that. Right. I'm with that a thousand percent.

YK said men should not expect women to be obligated to cook and clean without a ring. Who said that? Y. K. Osir? Yes. Okay. I'm going to give you the world, baby girl. Is that him?

Yeah, that he said that. Yeah. I'm going to give you the world, baby girl. Okay. Mo. All you do, a lot of times you hear these women, they talk about they want traditional. They want a man to take them out

and pick them up and do certain things. You want a traditional life, without doing traditional things. Go back to this. He said what? They shouldn't be obligated to cook and clean without a ring. And we shouldn't be obligated to pay no bills.

Buy no louie bags and take your own trips. We got to do all this stuff, right? Yeah. For us to decide that we want you to be our wife. Yeah. Like, I got to do all this. I got to buy you this. I got to take you there, I got to pay your rent, I got to do all this.

For me to decide, after I didn't do all of that for you to be my wife, but you ain't obligated to make me nothing to eat? That what do you say? Who? Who say? YK. Okay. Tell me something Barack Obama says.

Hell, he's talking about. You gotta spend all this money. Think about that. You think about it, bro. When you court the woman, y'all going on dates and, Bro, it's stuff that you will do for a woman. Bro, I know dudes that have buy a woman a car. And I feel like you should only do that for your wife.

Yeah, you won't, you wouldn't buy, I mean, a lot of times, I don't know how many, because they'll buy their mom, they'll buy their mom, they'll buy their mom or their sister car. That's crazy, bro. No, I mean, it's hard for me to give you more than what I give my mom and my sister, or my own. You see what I'm saying? But you can't go make me something to eat. I can pay your rent. Yeah.

But you ain't obligated to. go make me something, I'm going to obligated to pay your rent. Right. And this is the friction. It's because of people, what I just said is going out there saying shit like that. That's putting that in the minds of people and people just not being people no more. Yeah. They just living off based on what somebody said.

Now, I'm not saying that I ain't nobody obligated to do nothing. Right. But if I'm pouring into you, why wouldn't you want to pour into me? Right. Why wouldn't you? If you know I'm going out on this road and I'm working and I'm coming back home making sure you straight, making sure you going on the trips you want to go to, you have the things that you have,

how you not obligate making me nothing eat? What glorieal sisters say? I'm here's obligated. I'm obligated. Come on, man. That's crazy. That's crazy. You've also, you've a pastor in Druski.

You saw Druski catch a lot of criticism, but I guess he was spoofing the pastors. Yeah. But what comedians do is that they take things that have happened to them personally or what they see around. Yes. If you think about a lot of stuff that get created,

it gets created because people, they see it. Yes. So he had to see that somewhere. Yeah, on my page. And here's the thing, and that's not no, like, that ain't no, like, jabber, Drewski. I love Drewski. Yeah.

But I did the, I did the same skit. Yeah. But I think what Drewski did with it was phenomenal. He took it. He got suspended. And he took it to a whole other level. He and the L, he got the red bottoms on. I thought, and listen, exactly what you said is fire.

You know, people was like, he's mocking God. Because they was in my comments saying the same thing. Y'all mocking God. You mocking God. No, no, no, no. We're mocking these preachers that's saying that they're of God. Yeah. And they're not.

Right. You know what I'm saying? That's what they mocking. But, man, I look at it like this. The world has got two cents to the year. We can't talk about nothing. We can't say nothing. but what I like about what Drewski is doing

is that Drewski going hard like he's doing it I would have been scared to paint myself as a white man doing skis. Yeah, I would too. Drewski about the only comedian can do that right now.

He's the only one. Yeah. But I don't know why they get offended. I don't know why the church get offended when the pastor's, the majority of the pastors are preaching prosperity. I don't understand. Now, my house is,

leaking, but you got a mansion. I'm driving, I'm getting dropped off, I'm getting Uber to drop me up at the church, or I'm driving a bucket, and you got a rose on Phantom and a Mercedes. I don't, I don't understand. It's a real, bro, it's. So God's say,

you, hey, you walk, you make sure he's riding in style, but I'm gonna bless you. But I'm gonna bless you. That don't, that don't make sense to me. We didn't say in all type of preachers. You know what I'm saying? Then they lock the door, talking about the collection. Close the door.

I wish I would be at the church and they're talking about closing, though you can't. Yeah. I'm like, if we closed the door, how God go get in? Let me tell you something.

He was like a normal person. He walked. He came in the cave. He can't get in. Yeah. Let me tell you something right now. You let me tell you something. I'm going to get up.

I'm going to keep a real with you. If I ever go to the church and they're talking about locked the doors, I'm going to slap the pastor the ticket and a quiet director. Bro, lock the doors? No, bro. Like I said, bro, 100% Drewskiy went wrong for that, bro.

And I say that because I say that because I had. did a skit similar to that. And you called criticism also, huh? What? They were out in the comments. Oh, I normally rock with you, but you ain't going to play with God. Don't play with God.

They do realize the ministry is not God. Bro, some of these people don't even know God. How are you going to tell me who I could play? Well, you don't even know the, God made me. Right. He knows how I am. He knew I were going to, if what y'all say is true, he knew I was going to do this video before I even did it.

Yeah. So what God man about? Are you playing with God shacking up? Hmm. I'm just asking because they quit. They quit to talk about God. So you, God, shacking up. So what does God think about shacking up?

Bro, listen, people do so many things that's not of the religion that they practice. And y'all draw the line of the skit. That's when it's went too far. Yeah. You know what I agree? I agree. No. Mike else.

Mike came on the show and he was a great job. And you've been doing, Mike is invited. Mike is, he doesn't have a problem. giving and helping this younger generation come up with the community and you are and are we the ones tour what is Mike what is Mike meant to you um you know what I'm gonna tell you something that Mike just did uh this past weekend that really for me uh it it just it it just really showed me who who he is so we was playing in Memphis uh we was playing in Memphis uh we was playing in Memphis for the we the ones tour and you know the floor the floor

and all this stuff had been crazy. We were stuck at the airport trying to get to Memphis for like 12 hours. Wow. 12 hours. And I remember, Memphis being one of my largest markets. Like when I first coming up, Memphis was like one of the first cities I went to that sold out.

So I met the airport and I just accept the realization like, bro, you're not going to make it. So I called my agent and I'm like, hey, I'm not going to make it. I called a promoter. I said, man, I'm not going to make it. And a promoter like, man, just wait. You know what I'm saying? We're going to try to hold the show as much as we can until you figure it out. But I'm not moving.

We at the airport. They time I don't have no flight attenders. So I called my agent. My agent, like, hey, bro, it's dead. Make the video. Let them know that you're not going to make it. Now, I post this video up as the show has started. And there's people in the comments like, man, we came to see you.

And, you should have left the date before. I mean, it was upset. And the promoter hit me back. He said, man, any update, I said, man, we still ain't got no flight attendant. He said, man, bro, just let me know if something changed. still holding, like we're pushing the show back. Everybody doing extra time, I said, cool. So about 20 minutes later, the flight attendants show up.

Everybody started clapping, except me. Because I didn't miss out on this money. I ain't going to get paid. You know what I'm saying? So we get on the plane, and the promoter call me. I said, bro, we got a flight attendant. We should be landing about 10 o'clock. Mike go on stage at 10.20.

We're 20 minutes from the airport. So about time I get there, Mike going on stage. And if anybody is really familiar with the culture of comedy, when somebody like a Mike Epps or like that, nobody follows him. Ain't nobody going up after that. That's it. It's over.

Yeah. So I'm like, if Mike go up, it's over. So we get there, we land. When we get on the runway, they end up holding us up another 20 minutes. Damn. So we don't land in Memphis until 10.20. So as we hit the ground, the promoter calling me, he's like, where are you at? I said, we just landed.

I said, we're not even at the gate yet. He said, man, he said, bro. But it would be dope, man, if Mike just go here and let you close. And I was like, man, I mean, ask him. I was like, you know, all he could say is either yes or no. Correct. And I said, you know, either way, I'm fine. You know, I'm fine either way.

And he called me back. I called right back. Hey, get down here. Mike say he going to let you close. He going to bring you up. So we get out the plane. And, I mean, we run it through the airport. We about 15 minutes away from the venue.

We get the oldest driver. I've ever seen them. Bro stopping, trying to figure out if people is okay in the car accident. We went past the car accident. He's like, is y'all okay? I said, look, we're gonna pray for them. Get your ass to the Lambda Center.

Mike's gonna bring me up. Right. So, you know, they text in my brother, and they text in my brother. Like, where y'all are at? My brother, like, are we three minutes away? So we flying, bro. We get to the stadium, and we flying down the ramp.

Bro, I get out the car. The car's still moving. It's like a movie. I'm still moving. I get out the car, bro, I'm running to the stage. And as I get to the stage, they're like, just go.

And somebody just pushed me. And I walk out onto the stage, bro. And Mike couldn't even say my name. The arena went crazy. Wow. And I put my hand out to shake Mike Hand, and he grabbed me and hugged me. And he had me the microphone.

And it was just something about that moment that was like, hey, you can't tell me nothing about Mike Epps. I think the crowd appreciated they know because you made the video about what transpired and for you to go through what you went through in order to get there.

Just to get there. Because a lot of people like, man, man, I ain't going to be able to make it, man, forget this. I don't have been here six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve hours, whatever the cage may be. I'll catch them next time. Maybe we get an opportunity to circle back. No.

But they appreciate that. You know what? The biggest thing was that they waited from me. Yeah. Like that was the biggest thing. And, you know, after I got off the and I went to same Mike, and when Mike was just like, he just looked at me, he was like, you got it, bro.

The goal, you got to think, that was a show that they stretched out and started late. I, I, DC Unflag, Carlos Miller, Chico Bean, guys like that, Mike Epps, and for me to be able to go after all of them after, you got to think, I ran right up on stage not knowing what jokes I'm about to do. Right. My mind was just get there. So now I'm in front of, I'm in front of 10,000 people. And it's like, all right, it's time to rock.

You're here now. And, you know, man, like I said, but can't nobody tell me nothing about Mike else, bro. It's not a lot of, it's not a lot of OG comedians that would have, that would have done that. Right. You know what I'm saying? They came up old school knowing that they couldn't follow. Once that headliner went up, it's over. It's over.

Whatever you didn't do, you didn't do. You didn't do. Hey, you missed your money tonight. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And it was just like, no, and that wasn't even like the first time, though, like the first year that I did, we don't want. The very first year, they hit me as the opening act. This was two years ago.

And the way they hit the lineup, I would go out before the actual show was star right before Mike. And I would bring Mike Epps up. And this was the first show of the year. We was in Minneapolis. And I go up and I do 15 minutes. I'm talking about I slam. I can see Mike I can see Mike from the stage

Mike you know going back or four and his manager like trying to get me like hey all right we got to get him off the stage so Mike goes up Mike do his thing and he comes right down and he brings the next act up Mike come and find me he said hey you're not going in that spot no more he said you're too funny

he said you gotta be in the show we'll get somebody else to do that right he said you gotta be he's like people he said more people need to see And you just, you know, like I said, but I didn't met a lot of the OGs. I didn't met a lot of them. You know what I'm saying? Mike the one.

Mike different, bro. But he did catch some criticism. He said a couple of jokes about Nikki Minaj and then the homeless people. He's like, you know, the, you know. I thought the homeless thing was so. They are blown it out of, man. There ain't nobody giving nobody no $500 to go stand no lot plush on me. But here's the thing, he was joking, man.

He was joking. I think he had a serious moment. And I feel like, you know, a lot of people don't understand comedy is a lot of misdirection. Like, he was setting you up thinking he was going to go this way and bam. He went that way. It was funny. Like, let it go and move on. Now, the Nicky Minaj thing, I...

Listen to me. When he said it at the show, I laughed. Right. As a comedian... Yeah. I saw the human it. But I also knew when he said it, I know how Nicky's the barbs.

I know how they get out. Yeah, yeah. I didn't, I didn't, he, but Mike said it like right at the beginning. So it's like, it was in one of those spots where you wouldn't really be expecting people to be recording. Right. So I didn't think nobody got it, but why would I think that we in the arena is like 8,000 people there?

Somebody got it, you know what I'm saying? So I thought he said it in a way where, okay, ain't nobody gonna get that. Right. Now I got on social media the next day and saw the clip going viral. And then like five minutes later, I saw Mike apologize and I'm like, damn.

But I just, I didn't think, I text him, I don't think he needs to apologize. Are this council culture and that's having comedians apologize? Is it going too far now more? Yes. Because you know back in the day, when, oh, like, when Carlin and C.K.

and Pryor and Murphy, guys, they apologize for, Bernie Mac wouldn't have made it. No. In this era. They would definitely have had Robin Harris, all those guys. They wouldn't have made it. No.

No. They wouldn't have made it. Bro, if you go and look at the Kings of Comedy and you look at Bernie Mac's set just from that. Oh, yeah. When he talked about the kids? They got them out of here. And it's just like, you know, the thing with the council culture is, it's just like, why do y'all, why, you know, why so bad?

because it's something somebody said that you want to ruin their livelihood. But you know what, Mo, now more than ever, people wake up to be offended. Every day. Even when it doesn't concern them, they're offended. If it don't apply, they steal.

Because you know what, oh, wow, I have a sister that's like this or I have a brother or somehow they... My friend, or you try to... They connect their way, however, you know, just to get together and be mad, bro. You know, as a comedian, like I said, It's hard. And as much as I want to see here and be like,

oh, you don't got to be mindful. You can say what you want to say. You do. You have to be mindful. And it's like you got to, you know, bro, it's just certain things that I just don't even dive into. Politics, all that stuff. All right.

Y'all got it. I don't even want to talk about that. Just because, you know, so many people got different perspectives and different things that they like or different people that they like. And just because we don't like the same things or we don't agree with the same things. Now my career got to end.

Right. I got to be canceled because of that. I think it's crazy. I think what, the question is like, cancel, what do you value? Because remember, they tried to cancel Chappelle, but here's the thing. They tried to take from Chappelle what he never value, which was Hollywood.

Hollywood. So once they saw they couldn't take, Chappelle is bigger than he's ever been. Yeah. And he doesn't, he's like, I don't care. I don't care about movies. I don't care if I'm deleting. man in the movie. Guess what I can do? I'm going to sell these tickets. I'm going to put it up.

And I'm going to sell these tickets. I'm going to sell like 20 pounds. That is what they cannot take away from you. That is it. If you, if you, if them people rock with you, if them people rock with you, they can't take that away. They can't. They can take your Instagram page. They could take your Facebook page. They can say YouTube page. They can take it all. If the people rock with you, it don't matter. You can't, you can't tell 10,000 people. don't go see him no more. Right. You can't.

Right. You know what I'm saying? It's up to them. Right. And if they're not as an offended as you are about whatever that is, they still going to show up. If they're rock with you, they're going to go. They're going to thumb their nose up and say, we're going to go in anyway.

We're going to support our brother. We're going to support. Who going to stop us? Keep it real. Just keep it real. I hate to say this. I can't get out of jail right now and do it to her. He's going to sell out everywhere.

Yes. I don't know he'll get out any time. He's not getting out. But I'm saying if. What you call might pardoning? Who? Trump. Trump not going to pardon Kills.

I ain't going to lie. If he do, though, he might get a third turn. He might get a third turn, man. I don't think so, though. No, man, Kills ain't getting out of them, man. He ain't getting out of that. Not any time, too. No.

Damn. He ain't getting out of that. Did you lose out an opportunity with Kevin Hart over an old tweet? Yes. What did you tweet? How do you know about that? Wouldn't know about everything. I don't think I've ever talked about that.

Yeah, I did. God, what you... So what it was was Heartbeat Productions was doing some project where they were getting all these comedians together. And it's crazy because this happened like right around the time where he... Was it the Oscars or something he was supposed to host? and those tweets. I want to say this was maybe maybe a few months after that.

And they reached out to me and it was something that they were supposed to be doing with a group of comedians where they were putting us all together and I never really got the full details of what it was exactly we were supposed to be doing. And I remember the guy that I was talking to

that was booking for it, you know, we were going back and forth. He was like, hey, we'll have a contract ready for you Tuesday. And then Tuesday came and I didn't hear nothing. So Wednesday came. Now, I needed this money at the time. They was talking about, I think it was about $7,500. I needed that.

Yeah. You know what I said? So I call again. I was like, what's going on with the 75? Y'all got the contract? And he was like, man, we did a social media, you know, swipe. Yeah. And we came across some tweets from 2013 that, uh...

Man, that was 12, that was 11, 12 years ago. I wasn't even no comedian at that point. Right. So I, um, and it was like, Experience Bruno Mars live in Toronto.

He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better,

and plenty of other mishaped scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Dos Amigos season two, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? is to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is. Because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow.

And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since, like, 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. No, they said it to tweets were potentially homophobic, but they weren't homophobic.

What happened was it was a dude on Twitter. It used to be this app they used to have way back then around that time, 2011, 2012. And there was an app called Ask Me, and people could ask you questions anonymously. You wouldn't know who. who it was. And it was a, it was a, it was a, um, a homosexual guy asked me a question and I was like,

I'm not, I'm not with that. Right. And maybe the way I worded it wasn't, you know, wasn't politically correct. But I didn't say anything like bad about the, you know, about the community because I had nothing bad to say about them. Like they come to my shows. Right. I include them in the shows.

Like, I got gay people in my family. Right. You know what I'm saying? So, um, yeah. You know, that was a tweet. So I went and I found a tweet. And, you know, I had to go through this whole thing of, you know, showing that I wasn't that, you know, and they still, they passed up on me.

And they asked me, you know, did I know any other comedians in Chicago that I could recommend? No, I don't. But it's project. No, I didn't do that. I didn't do that. No, no, no. I sent them, you know, at the time I was working with this comedian named Katie Wilson. And she was from Chicago.

And I recommended her. Right. And they end up picking her up for the, you know, for the project. And she went and did it. You break you off a little something? No. For recommendation? No.

Find his fee? No. Damn. She gave me nothing. But it's okay. I didn't want nothing. You know what? The fact that I was able to help her get something.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying. It was okay. And I'm one of those people that believed was for me. It's for me. Absolutely. And that, you know. That wasn't for you.

They went for me. Right. They weren't for me. I don't even think I had ever seen that project even come out. Right. Into, you know, being anything. You know what I'm saying? So I think they, I know they still got paid, but...

Have you sent scrub your social media or anything? Have you gone back and looked at some slack, but damn this... No, after that I did. Bro, after that, bro, let me tell you something. Once I learned how to do it, especially on Twitter, once I learned how to, you know, look up stuff, you type in keywords with your name. Yeah. And, you know, you just see stuff that come up.

And it wasn't a lot that I had to take down, but it was stuff that at that moment, I was like, I don't never want this to happen again because of something that I, I said or I tweeted. When I was, I was, I don't know how you are normal, but I'm saying, I said something in my early 20s or when I was the teenagers. Yes. And they're holding against me now, but that's what they say. I mean.

And I think that the tweet that they were talking about, I was 23 years old. I am. So I didn't, bro, at that time, I'm telling you, it's changed so much. Yeah. You know, at that time, it was fine. I didn't say nothing wrong. Right. You know what I'm saying?

But I think they were trying to be so careful. Right. About it where they was like, And then Kevin had just had that situation. So, you know, heartbeat is his company. And I just think they were just trying to avoid anything that was going to, you know, bring that back up. You also had the opportunity you tour with Martin Lawrence. What would that experience like?

Martin a real OG. You know what I'm saying? You know, Martin is one of those ones that's kind of he knows who he is. He knows what he's done. So it don't matter how good you are. who you think you are when you come up on this show, you can go and destroy it. And when you come back,

Martin will be back there clapping for you. Congratulations. I love to see what you're doing. He's going to go up there and do his thing. He's called me for different projects. I mean, and it really, you know, Martin,

one of my all-time, you know, favorite comedians. So I remember we was doing a show in Milwaukee, and he had a joke. And he went one way with it, and I'm like, it might be funny if he said this.

And I'm like, I'm gonna tell them. And I seen him and I was like, hey, oh gee, I think, you know, the other joke you say that? He's like, man, if you say this, I think it hit harder. And the next show we did, we was in Milwaukee, and he did it. He did what I, you know, what I had suggested. And I remember we come up, I went up to his dresser room. He was like, Mojo, I did your joke. And I was like, how I do?

And he was like, it hit. And after that, every time I seen him, he was doing that. So he not, he not, he not, one of them dudes that I'm up here and there's somebody yeah you can't tell me bro how you don't tell me no Martin he respects the the younger generation yeah means that's coming up he respects you know the perspective that we have and it's like hey if this was you say this going to work right now I'm gonna do that so um no Martin Lawrence is the truth I did a project with him um and he was real quiet in the whole lot of talking you know he said hey when I came in I went to

a draft and they said with Martin here and so I stopped by I said what up Marr you know so forth this all. He's like, hey, how you doing, Shard? Congratulations, all his success, blah, blah, blah. And he's really quiet. He ain't really do a whole lot of talking. Yeah. But to see him when it's like, they say, action. Yeah. He go. He go. And, I mean, he goes from like, he's like here. Yeah. And get the right here. And then he back to right here. Yeah, it ain't. He's not,

he not up here all day. Nope. No. People would think that he is. But no. Martin real cool. He is. He real chill. He not. Yeah. He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. Martin. I mean, that was one of the, you know, meeting him was dope. And how kind he was to my family, to my daughter. Man, yeah, Martin one of them ones. Are there any similarities to the way Martin conducts his show to where, compared to how Mike does his?

Yeah, it's two totally different shows. You know, Mike. Mike up here all the time. Bro. Listen, who y'all see Mike is in that movie in the movies? That's him. That's him. That's him.

On a regular Tuesday. You know what I'm saying? It is. I don't talk to Mike on the phone and it's the same. He's animated it. Yeah. That's just who he is. When he get on stage, it's not, the man is not doing jokes.

He's talking. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And he just, he's just funny where Martin is, you know, it's a little bit more, you know, structure. Martin is up there really trying to, you know, he's really doing his material. And then Martin has. a way shorter show.

He not, seven people ain't going up for Mark. Yeah. You might get two or three. You know, Mike, you know, get as many of,

you know, he's trying to put as many young people on. Yeah, you know, you got to think on the we don't want is me, D.C., Carlos,

Chico, you know, and then they got Navgreen and they got, who else, uh, uh,

uh, uh, Judge Neish, uh, Jay Ski. I mean, it is, yeah.

It's about eight or nine of you guys. It's a bunch of us. You know what I'm saying? and he go after all of us. So it's two totally different vibes. Give me a Mount Rushmore comedians. Now, you know, you kind of like, I mean, you find the sweet spot because you kind of got more of this generation like, say, like the last 10, 15 years. I don't know how much prior you saw.

I don't know how much Murphy you saw. How much Louis C.K. or Carlin, uh, uh, Cosby. Yeah. You're a real, you're a real comedy. Yeah, I love it. I love it. I love it. My Mount Rushmore of comedians of all time.

Yeah. All Mooney. All time. I'm going to say Eddie Murphy. Yep. I love, love everything to Eddie did. I'm going to go Eddie Murphy. I'm going to go Bernie Mac.

How many we get on the Mount Rushmore? Four and five. Four. Eddie Murphy, Bernie Mac. Unless you do top five. Give me your top five. Top five. Eddie Murphy, Bernie Mac.

Mm-hmm. Kevin Hart Yeah Um Mike Epps got to go on there Richard Pryor And I know

I know it's somebody that I Didn't get to Well you did leave off What you call them? Who? We just talked about it Martin

No Martin need to be on there too Well who You put Martin I did Martin, Eddie Murphy Kevin Hart Mike Epps

Richard Pryor Who will leave oh Chappelle Okay Because a lot of people Because you know what I've had a lot of competing People like a lot of guys

Won't put Chappelle alone because they say he's a Contemporary See it's hard for me to put They say it's hard for me to put it So let me tell you where I'm at On the Chappelle thing, right? Yeah I love Dave Chappelle

Um Dave Chappelle's style of comedy for me, it's not like, it's not, everybody got a style that they like it. So you think about everybody that I just, that I named. You know what I'm saying? Martin Lawrence.

You got to go watch the old Martin Lawrence. What I liked about him was the crowd work stuff that he used to do on deaf comedy jam, boom, boom, bang. Dey Chappelle had you thinking. He's a storyteller. But he had you thinking about stuff that you ain't thought about.

Yeah. So you laugh and but damn, then you leave like, damn, they is out here playing with us, man. You got it. So Dave, how you, you know, Dave, how you thinking? And sometimes when I watch comedy, bro, I don't want to think. I just want to laugh. You just want to go bang, bang, bang something.

Yes, that's what I want. And it ain't nothing wrong with that, you know what I'm saying? Because my guy, Ryan Davis is the same way. Yes, yes. And it takes him two, three minutes to set the joke up. You set it up. But then when they get there, it's like art. It's like all.

I say how you did that. But, you know, a lot of times, you know, you just want to get it. I love to hear a good story. That was one of the things that I always loved about Kevin Hart. I felt like he was one of the best storytellers that I, you know, that I've ever seen. Yeah. If there anyone that you haven't met, that you're like, man, I sure would like to meet him. Eddie Murphy.

I would love to meet Eddie Murphy. It is really reserved. I've heard that. Yeah. I would love to meet Eddie and Cat. I haven't met Cat. You haven't met Kat? I haven't met Kat.

I'm trying to, but you know, like we were both in Memphis at the same time. And you seen when I got there late, but I was going to try to pop over to his show and say what's up. But, yeah, Kat and Eddie are two that, like, I got to meet. Right. Bernie Mac from Chicago. Yeah. And, you know, you saw him early in those movies, house party movies. You see him in Friday.

It's just something about his delivery. Yeah. he's at you. Yes. He can tell a story, but mainly he's just a... Yeah. And from the time that he went up there

and he said, I ain't scared of you. I ain't scared of you. I ain't scared of you. His life changed. You know how many times I watched it over and over again? Bro, Bernie Mac, I was in the fifth grade

when Kings of Comedy came out. Yeah. And I had no idea that comedy was what I would want to do when I got older. I just played football. You know what I'm saying? So I had no idea that

you know, I wanted to be a comedian. And after watching Kings of Comedy, I think we was on like spring break. And then we came back to school. I was doing Bernie Mac whole set in the fifth grade in front of everybody. Wow. In front of everybody. That right there single-handedly was like,

because we used to, you know, my parents used to always have Deaf Comedy Jam and Comic View all the time. You know what I'm saying? And I used to always be like, hey, this is cool how they do that. But it was never like, I don't want to do that. I just always thought it was cool. But when I did, when I came to school and, you know, we used to stand outside before we

going to school. Yeah. I had all the kids circled around me. I was doing Bernie Mac whole set. Like it was my own. Right. You know what I'm saying? That was like today I can say that was when I fell in love with this.

Ooh, this was going to be really hard. Uh, give me your top five comedians to have TV shows. Bernie Mac, Martin. Jamie Fox Cosby Red Fox Steve Harvey Damon Damon

Damon Wayne Dave Chappelle Eddie Griffin Chris Rock Monique DL you get five All right

So I'm gonna take Martin Lawrence Okay I feel like Martin is the greatest television sitcom Every time I'm flipping the channel And I see Martin

I got to watch it Yep Even if I've seen the episode I got to watch So I'm gonna say Margin Okay I love the Jamie Fox show

Okay, that's two. Jamie is another one I want to meet, too. I haven't made. So Martin Jamie. I used to like Steve Harvey show. Okay. Mr. Hightower. Who else?

Dave Chappelle, I used to love the Chappelle show. And then I get one more. You get one more. Comedian TV show that I used to like. Monique, yes, Monique. It's a little Monique. I like that. Chastin after the Professor Ogleby.

You do remember, like, I don't know how much you saw for Sanford and Son. I ain't ever see that. That shit was hilarious. Really? Oh, my God. It was crazy. When that was coming on in the 80s? Seventh.

Okay, yeah, you might see it. He had a very short run because, you know, they were messing with the money. They ain't paid nobody back there. Yeah, yeah. They ain't really pay them and, you know, red ended up, you know. Red Fox, though. When they put him in Hart,

when I like when Keneet, like if you look at what Eddie does in Harlem Night, you look at who he had. Della Reeves, him, well, Eddie put the thing on. He had Richard Pryor. He had Robin Harris. He had, I think,

Renaldo Ray was in it. I mean, he had everybody. Charlie Murphy. And that's what we need. Art Video Hall. That's what we need right now. You go back and look at life. Life was...

You're talking about Bernie Mac. Bro. You know how many people don't really understand that Bernie Mac were playing a gay man in life? Jagalank. Jagalik. You know what I'm saying?

Like, bro, if somebody played a character like that today... No. And he played the character. And he didn't have to do nothing crazy. No. We didn't never see him. We ain't never see him do nothing crazy. And we didn't think after he played that part

that he was that part. Well, now that you brought it up. Okay. Comedians wearing dresses. I knew you were going to ask me about this. You know what? Black comedians wearing dresses is really what the is about. That's what the issue.

Because there's nobody saying about Robin Williams did it. You know, and I feel like I would be a hypocrite to sit here and be just so against it and it's so wrong when I like Big Mama House. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know. Eddie played all, had the characters in a Dutch professor. He played Raspusia in Norbett.

In Norbett. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I feel like this, man, if, if that's what you want to do, do what you want to do. Right. You know what I'm saying? Make your money. Who am I to tell you how to get your money?

Right. If it work for you, do it. But don't do it. Don't, don't, don't, don't compromise who you truly are. Like, don't have nobody out here, got you doing it. you ain't, and you ain't getting nothing from it. Right. You know what I'm saying?

If you're not about to, if it ain't about to change the trajectory of your career. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because you see the wands when they did white chicks. White chicks. Was that not great? It was great. I mean.

It was great. And I'm not saying that I'm about to go put no dress on anytime soon like that. But what I'm saying. That'll be your choice, though, if you do. That would be my choice, regardless of what anybody say. You know what I'm saying? And I think the problem is that it's so many comedians mad at other comedians for doing stuff that they're not willing to do. Okay.

If you ain't willing to do it. So why do you care? Why you care. Right. This concludes the first half of my conversation.
