Starting point is 00:07:19 nothing without a woman or a girl try to make it more women than girls shout out to R. Kelly don't nothing without a woman or a girl. Try to make it more women than girls. Shout out to R. Kelly. Don't disrupt this song. You know what I'm saying? And that song was made popular in the 60s when black people were probably getting rights
Starting point is 00:07:43 and women's rights was low as shit. And I'm not saying this in a disrespectful way. In the 60s, you know what I'm saying? Like, if you thought these motherfuckers didn't take black people serious, they didn't take a woman serious. But he says, but it wouldn't be nothing. It wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And you being a friend of mine for years Javanta everybody y'all saw her here last time she never left she never left how important is it for a woman in a man's life to help him with his success or drive? Is it important?
Starting point is 00:08:35 You know what they say, behind every successful. Absolutely. They always say, they reference that with black people, right? I ain't never heard white people say behind every successful white Absolutely. They always say that they use it. They reference that with black people, right? I ain't never heard them. Never. White people say behind every successful white woman. I've never,
Starting point is 00:08:51 never, I've never heard it said behind every successful white man. There was a strong, right? There was a strong white woman that made all that possible. White women. Y'all ain't strong. What are y'all weak? I know it's some strong white women out there.
Starting point is 00:09:06 There's some servant. But how important do you think it is? How important do you think it is to the success of a man to have the right woman in his life? I think it's extremely important. I think it's what we all aspire, as a black woman, aspire to be for my potential mate. So you just want to be a black woman aspire to be for my potential mate. So,
Starting point is 00:09:26 um, so you just want to be a black woman? No, I mean, it refers to the, as a woman, but in particularly as white women, just been through the struggle too.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Really? Yes. Really? Man, it's some white women that have put up money for, for black dudes,' rap careers. It's some white women that let the black dudes fucking goddamn just blunt out the Hyundai or Honda. Or something that's supported.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I think it's extremely important, and I think it's very necessary. I mean, black men have it, or men have it hard enough with all the responsibilities, so to be a pillar for your significant other will only carry and drive the success for the entire family and generational wealth, et cetera etc. You think men a lot of times don't get the credit in a relationship? They don't get credit what they bring to the relationship?
Starting point is 00:10:37 In what regard? In terms of like inspiration, motivation, support. From their spouse? like inspiration, motivation, support? From their spouse? Yeah. It depends on the spouse.
Starting point is 00:11:03 So I think it really depends on the situation and the relationship. If y'all like each other or not. If y'all rocking with each other. But for the most part, I don't think there's lack of support. I think it was Fabulous. I can do good by myself. Fabulous and Neo. What was it? I can be good by myself, but you make me better.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yes. You know what I'm saying? And I think that's how a lot of men feel. I know that it's important to have support from a woman. It makes life easier. You know what I'm saying? When you're stressed out, you know what I'm saying? If you connected, you know, somebody that could just be supportive of you
Starting point is 00:11:46 who you want to support. Yes. I think sometimes in relationships, people don't know the time to give up certain things, you know? In what regard? What do you mean by certain things it has to come to it it has to come a time when a woman would just shut the fuck up
Starting point is 00:12:15 i mean just shut up just know the art the art of shutting up? The art of shutting up. Explain to me what the art of shutting up is. The art of shutting up is knowing when to shut the fuck up. You know what I'm saying? And, like, this is what I think a lot of women don't understand. Like, men, for the most part, we don't want you to shut the fuck up all the time because that would be crazy. If you just was walking around just shutting the fuck up all the time because that would be crazy. If you just was walking around
Starting point is 00:12:45 just shutting the fuck up all the time, a man would go crazy. We want you to know the art of shutting the fuck up. Which is? The moment, like, you have a beef with me about something, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:01 And I got to prepare for something. And I do respect your beef. I do respect your argument. But now is not the right time to prepare for something. And I do respect your beef. I do respect your argument. But now is not the right time to talk about it. That's what I consider the art of shutting the fuck up. To allow you to get whatever job done that needs to happen. You know, just like knowing when to shut the fuck up. Like women don't, they don't get it, son!
Starting point is 00:13:28 You gotta explain it. You gotta let them know. You gotta let them know. I beg you. How do you say... How do you politely tell somebody you want them to shut the fuck up? Do you say, I beg your pardon?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Do you say, I had a thought? Or how do you just say it? They need an exact time. You gotta let people know when's a good time to shut the fuck up so you can schedule it and this is all this is gonna be therapeutic for relationships of people that have relationships that are tested by these things so you say if you want someone
Starting point is 00:13:59 to shut the fuck up it might be a good idea to schedule it like at least like Tuesdays what 4 30 to 7 30 that's when you got to shut the fuck up or maybe if you have an exact moment like when football's on or something like oh my god you know what that should be the whole that should be the holy grail you just hit something said like listen women, listen, women, all right? I'm going to let you know, for the most part, ladies, for the most part,
Starting point is 00:14:30 you can talk all the time, all the time. But I think when we've decided there's a good idea just to shut the fuck up, when football is on. But we also need a time where we can speak. Yeah, but not doing football. Oh, of course not. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, son. I was stuck.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I was trying to figure it out, son. I was like, damn, you just can't tell a bitch to shut the fuck up all the time. But a safe zone and a safe haven should be when football is on. Well, on the other side of it, then you need to be open to communicating as well. So maybe there's a time. After the game. Yes. Yes. Yes, I want to talk about everything you want to talk about but after the fucking game you can't try to have a conversation and you can't have a try to have a conversation in the middle of the game and you
Starting point is 00:15:20 might try to sneak halftime which is a no-. The only way you can sneak halftime now is because it's Super Bowl, so this is the time where you can kind of chatter because you can talk about the commercial or whatever. But I think that's the most important thing. Well, let me ask you this. And I think that's the thing that's troubling
Starting point is 00:15:38 most relationships in America. Is people not shutting the fuck up? During the game. Oh, during the game. But let me ask you this, Dono. What about when you're cooking? Would that be a good time? When I'm cooking?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Yeah, if you were cooking. To talk to me? Yeah. About a problem? Yeah. Nah, that's a bad time. So when is a good time? When I finish cooking.
Starting point is 00:16:01 When I finish doing my activity. Like, it's always after the man's activity. Yo, let us do our activity and then talk our head off. So do you do that? Yes, I do that. Okay. This is not about me. This is about the listeners.
Starting point is 00:16:14 All right? I'm not on trial or anything. And I do have someone I can call, Dr. Michelle, who came to my show at Caroline. She's a, like, trained mental health type person. And I told her that I think there's a coming time when I need to call you, you know, because I might want to deal with her, talk about some mental health shit. I think this is going to help people, Don. You're giving people, like, I think people need exact times. Like, maybe there's going to be an argument or someone's going to want to talk to their partner,
Starting point is 00:16:48 and then they're going to be like, oh, the game's on. Donnell said, not during the game, and that's going to save a relationship. You're doing God's work right now. Yo, you know what? This is why my God is so good, because I identify these things. I identify the need, and this is not just in the black community. This is in all communities. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:04 You know what I'm saying? I mean, whether we know it or not, football transcends through everything. Yes. Or it could be soccer in South American countries. They love that shit. And it's the Super Bowl, bro. Yeah. Who you got?
Starting point is 00:17:20 I like the Chiefs. But Andy Reid? I don't give a fuck about coaching. I mean, my team sucks. The Redskins, they suck. So it's not about coaching. I think it's about who I like to watch play, who's exciting to me. Should we make a gentleman's bet?
Starting point is 00:17:33 I got the Niners. Oh, that's an easy bet. I got the Chiefs. So what? You're going to give me like 60 to 1 odds? What do you want to put up? At 60 to 1, I'll put 50 bucks on it okay nah nah bring that shit down wait wait wait wait you heard it wait wait that's a lock that's not that's not
Starting point is 00:17:55 like what do you mean what happened he said all right we're good and then he backed out you should have thought about it before you said yes. We got 60 to 1. Nah, that sounds like a redskins bet. Even no points, just even game. I got Niners, you got Chiefs. I'll see you in a couple weeks. All right. I mean, I'm not going to bet that much, but I'll bet. All right. But this is what the lesson learned doing that.
Starting point is 00:18:17 We just talked about the game, right? Yeah. And Javante just stopped talking. We accomplished the mission yep see you're gonna save a lot you see because i don't know shit about football and i don't need to know but with that said you you you know you shut the fuck up during the conversation about football a lot of people not gonna like what i'm saying a lot of people not gonna be true to themselves a lot of people gonna be like trolls they going to figure out something to talk about
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah he's a What is it a male chauvinist But look you got your needs That's what you're trying to say I'm trying to say shut the fuck up Yeah but you got your needs and your needs are to have your peace time Yes If there's peace time as long as there's room
Starting point is 00:19:02 And time for communication within the relationship That's all you need to make time for both. There needs to be time for shutting the fuck up. Because I know when to shut the fuck up. You do not know when to shut the fuck up. Yo, you can drop that fucking news anchor voice shit out of here. Yo, you can drop all that eyewitness deals hired back to you. Because I've had those experiences and I've been able to shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:19:27 You don't know how to shut the fuck up. I don't know how to shut the fuck up. Yeah. But. As long as there's room for both balance, then there's no issue. Okay. I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Agreed. I think we're saving lives here. And I think a lot of relationships are going to be saved because people are going to know, maybe I do need to shut the fuck up. But guess what? I don't care about the relationships. I care about the game, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Hell yeah. It's the game. Chiefs. Niners. 60 to 1 odds. We'll see. That's going to be the hot shit, and that's when everybody come together.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah. I had a great week. I had a great week when everybody come together. Yeah. I had a great week. I had a great week. I had a great year. I had a great – last week was – You know what? Not to cut you off, but you didn't even talk about the Bobby Lee, Burt Kreischer work that you did.
Starting point is 00:20:15 You didn't talk about – Because the Burt – You got off track. It's kind of – the Burt Kreischer project, he has another Netflix deal. It's a TV show, though, Netflix deal it's a TV show though right it's a TV show and basically it's a platform for all of the things
Starting point is 00:20:30 he does cooking adventurous shit and stuff like that and him and Bobby Lee do it I mean not Bobby Lee but he has different people
Starting point is 00:20:37 he has different guests on his show it's like in real life type of stuff and then you guys just they didn't tell you what was going to happen in advance that much is that what happened no they did just, they didn't tell you what was going to happen in advance that much?
Starting point is 00:20:45 Is that what happened? No, they did tell me. So they were like, these guys are going to be naked. No, that's not what they said, son. They said it's going to be a thing where Burt gets with his buddies and they all go camping and hiking and share moments. That's how it was. They share moments in the woods. And I'm like, oh, we can talk.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And then I show up. And I bobby lee name on the trailer and i knew it was gonna be all out i knew at some point i was gonna see his little asian ass son like and i don't want to blow i mean i just knew it when you see bobby lee you like man he's to figure out a way to pull his dick out. Like, it doesn't have anything to do with the script. It wasn't the first time you saw it? No, no, no, it was. But I've heard of it. I've heard of it.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I've heard of it. And then it's like, yo, Bobby Lee just got fucking naked. And, like, not in a swimming And like not in a swimming pool. Not in a swimming pool. Not at a place where you can almost kind of accept it, like in a shower, locker room. It's like in the belly room at a comedy club. So I knew the type of person he was.
Starting point is 00:21:59 But, man, them motherfuckers, that motherfucking non-homophobic energy got together. And it was ridiculous. Did it help you? Does it help you? Is your mind opening up? No, my mind's never going to open up. No, never?
Starting point is 00:22:13 No, and I'm not even going to go into the conversation like, oh, you're so this, that, whatever. No, of course not. You know, I mean, just certain shit, certain people do. Bobby Lee couldn't wait to get naked with Burt. But let me ask you. Burt was fucking laying there. He posted it on Instagram. The motherfucker was laying on a fucking
Starting point is 00:22:28 bare skin rug naked. And a black dude is making a portrait of him. Can you talk about what happened? No, no, no. That's all you don't need to know what happened. That picture they posted on Instagram. They posted a picture on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Burt is laying on a bare skin, butt-ass naked on a bare skin rug. And Bobby Lee saw him and was like, couldn't wait to take his pants off. Bobby Lee was like, oh, is this what we're doing? He was like, and Bobby Lee got in front of him and and put on his gorgeous look like he really was trying to rock that picture but it was fun it was a fun show
Starting point is 00:23:12 it was some good moments though it was good moments yeah would you do it again if they called you and said hey we're gonna revisit the trailer no way
Starting point is 00:23:19 we got a few b-roll shots that was a one off that was a one off we got a few shots we gotta pick up shots can you come back and do the rug bit again? No. I didn't even do the rug bit.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I reacted to it. I reacted to the rug shit. Nah, but I wouldn't. I like Burt, but them motherfuckers go hard. They go hard. White dudes are super adventurous. They'll do like, when they say, fuck it, I'll do anything once, they mean anything.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Black dudes will be like, oh, shit. As a black dude, I heard sirens going past, and I was like, I looked out the window. Let them go. Everybody's always nervous when you hear this. This is good. Registration. everybody's always nervous when you hear this could be an ambulance that's what I think I don't agree with that at all but when it goes past you're like fuck them
Starting point is 00:24:20 motherfuckers I wish they would have pulled me over so what about the Degenerates? You didn't talk about that either. You said you wanted to. You mentioned it, and then you didn't really talk about it. Where did you guys film it? I was excited about The Degenerates because that was my first Netflix original comedy series
Starting point is 00:24:36 where it wasn't a standalone, but it was a group of people. But Netflix is huge now. So the fact when you when you film that stuff like it how how different is it from just doing a normal set at a club like do the camera is there like a lot of cameras what are the lights like a lot of cameras but i'm already like even when i perform live i i'm putting myself in that place even when i do spots at the uh at the store and wherever i go i'm actually looking at the audience as if cameras were there. Like I try to perform in a level where it's TV ready. So when it's time to do the TV, it's not like, oh, shit, I got to turn it up.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Whenever I perform, I'm on TV energy, always, always. Even when I'm working out, I'm like, fuck it. It is an easy workout but right off the top if I can connect with it and always play like a TV audience when it's time for the TV it'll be easy I think that's the difference
Starting point is 00:25:36 between where I was as a young comic. As a young comic, you might not know, like, if the audience is flat, you still got to perform for the cameras. Sometimes it ain't about, it's not about them laughing, but how the reaction was on you you know how to work cameras and then you really feel different
Starting point is 00:26:10 when you get them opportunities and I'm ready for them that's why I'm happy that my roll out with Netflix or my introduction was on a level like this 15-20 minutes yeah you feel like it's just step one, right? You're ready to like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:27 It's like people got connected. It was a good set. You know, it was a set where people was like, oh shit, I wanted to see more of it. So more of it would be me, like right now, getting back on the road. I got to go hard now. I just gave up 50 minutes,
Starting point is 00:26:42 55 minutes of solid material to two shows. The Degenerates and Monique's special that's coming out February 7th. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's dope. That was the framework of our special. I had to chop it up. And now I got to fucking start all over. And I'm still doing same shows, same people.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Now I'm coming around. It's like I got to start all over and start from scratch. I think that's the most difficult shit to do. If you've been running an hour, you've been working on an hour, and you're like, oh, this shit is gone. How many different styles of starting over do you see as a comic? Because it feels like there's a lot of different ways to do it. It's different ways.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah, how do you do it, and how do you see other people doing it? It's kind of interesting. Things that make you start over. No, but I mean, like, do you write? Do you go out on stage? Do you do small rooms? Do you like to go out to big rooms? I'm trying to answer the question.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Oh, God. Shut the fuck up. Yo, is a football game on, son? Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Yo, is a football game on, son? Somewhere. Shut the fuck up. My style is like, it's going to be a lot of shit that's going to make you right. It's going to be people come up to you after your show. They're like, yo, I love you.
Starting point is 00:27:54 But, yo, when you hear somebody say, you doing new material? Yo, they're like, yeah, i love you on chappelle's show but uh you know when you're gonna i know that joke that shit that shit will force you to do it and then but you just gotta find the excitement something's gotta click like i think sometimes if you force yourself like oh i gotta be funny i gotta be funny it don. It's not organic. But if you just allow yourself to be a part of life and just hang out and recreate funny moments, like something funny happens. Shit, the other day, I was about to go on stage at Caroline's
Starting point is 00:28:36 and I came up with two new bits right before I was going to go on and I did them. And I was like, oh, they're about to be in trouble. You know? And my workout is just performing. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, do you sit at home and write for six hours, or do you just, like, think of something,
Starting point is 00:28:55 then, oh, you go on stage and you start riffing? I think of something to go on stage. Yeah. I got to go on stage. Yeah. The other day I was at the comedy store. It made me feel good because I saw the line up and this is what makes it the world's
Starting point is 00:29:10 famous comedy store the line up was fire it was bangers bam bam I'm like oh shit I was like

And the fragrance, the fragrance that's selling all these candles is the smell and the aromas of her vagina.

You said you was going to be on my podcast. And then all of a sudden, when it was
Starting point is 00:33:55 time for me to do my podcast, you didn't want to do my podcast. Donnell, what the hell are you talking about? You said you was going to call me back And you said you was going to send me the address When you called me while I was taping the show You didn't either
Starting point is 00:34:09 And then you said to myself I'm not going to come to your podcast Because I got to cook food And you said you was still going to And I said the weather was going to be bad That's not what I said I said don't poison I said do not poison your fans Wait Wait don't poison I said do not poison your fans and the citizens

Starting point is 00:34:42 you my first on the line I You out first. You my first on the line. I'm recording right now. You my first on the line guest on the show. What, Donnell? Don't say what to me. What are you talking about? I can't ask you a question? What, Donnell?
Starting point is 00:35:00 Because everything you ask is centered around hate. What? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not talking about hate. I'm not talking about hate. I'm talking about love. You love to hate. That's what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:35:18 What? What? Yo, listen. Listen. Me and Heather B has been having this ongoing battle about food for some reason her and her fans
Starting point is 00:35:31 thinks she's a good cook I've been on her punk ass I've been on her punk ass page and she got blue check niggas be checking on her little punk ass what's that shit she be making man I don't even remember the name of it but she tricking these motherfuckers I seen Layla Ali
Starting point is 00:35:47 commenting on your shit exactly only shout out blue check only shout out blue check that's it keep going it's some regular shitizens but the point I'm trying to make is it's some regular shitizens
Starting point is 00:36:02 I run into the shitizens it's something that. I run into the citizens. I run into the citizens. It's something that, but they won't stop. And they believe that her poor yeast, what is that other fish you do? Catfish. Tilapia. First of all, you ain't never caught me making no farm-raised fish. So all those lies right there, I need you to stop and address some
Starting point is 00:36:25 truth. Truth is, you went to the store and bought chicken legs. And I'm still trying to understand and I'm still trying to understand how come a comedian of your caliber would even pull out
Starting point is 00:36:42 you know, an EBT card to buy chicken. I really didn't think you could buy chicken legs with cash. I thought that was EBT only. Yo. I thought that was family first only. I'm saying you want to end this call now and be thinking they call me at another time? I didn't mean to get them legs.
Starting point is 00:37:03 I know them look like EPT legs. Listen, that wasn't what I was saying. Let me tell you my story. Please let me tell you my story. All right, you made an observation. And your observation was, nigga had some EPT chicken. But what I was making was,
Starting point is 00:37:22 I was making a garlic Greek lemon herb chicken quarter but when I went they ran out of quarters all they had was legs and I knew somebody was going to say something about the legs so what you're saying is you only live within the vicinity of one store
Starting point is 00:37:41 I'm not going to go to another store fuck that I got to make the legs and see if somebody remember it. And you saw it. Yeah, and it shattered your confidence so bad that you completely stopped. You went out for a walk. Smoked like three cigarettes. I know you had a cigarette
Starting point is 00:37:57 because the first punch that I gave you about the legs, it had you staring at your meal completely different. All right, listen. Go ahead. No, go ahead. staring at your meal completely different. All right, listen. Go ahead. No, go ahead. No, you tell your story.
Starting point is 00:38:09 There's no story to tell. I just don't understand how a comedian of your caliber can really even approach a meal with chicken legs. I mean, wow. I wasn't approaching you with chicken wings. I wasn't approaching you with chicken legs. Wow. You did approach me because you tagged me.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And see, the tag is really like bullying. When you tag, you is a digital bully. And it's like you bullied me. I was minding my business. And I thought I addressed that in my response to you. However, let's discuss now since you decided to jump off a garage because there's some hood shit you did when you bought out some chicken legs. Who ate those legs?
Starting point is 00:38:51 I ate those legs. That's the only person who ate those legs. Everybody don't like Greek garlic and herb chicken legs. They was tasty, man. Legs are foul. All right, it was supposed to be quarters. I'm sorry. I'll get the thighs
Starting point is 00:39:06 And I'll glue them together Earlier when I started this I asked the audience How important is it For a man To have the support Of his woman to be successful You taking it personal or you just generalize it
Starting point is 00:39:28 this ain't got nothing to do with me America why the fuck this ain't got nothing to do with me I'm saying that's a real that's a real deep question it sound like you trying to field out to the people to decide what you gonna do. Like, you know, on a personal side,
Starting point is 00:39:50 I'm just saying. No, that's not it at all. It's another observation I make. It's just another observation I make. That has nothing to do with this. This conversation is about how important it is for a woman to shut the fuck up during a football game. What a game.
Starting point is 00:40:16 What she said, what a game. How deep into the season? How deep into the season? Week six, week eight. No, we talking Super Bowl, nigga. Super Bowl. Yo, you ain't talking Super Bowl, nigga. Super Bowl. Yo, you ain't gotta shut up during the Super Bowl, because nine times out of ten,
Starting point is 00:40:30 your team ain't even in the Super Bowl. Like, at this point... Go ahead, Heather. At this point... Go ahead. Nine times out of ten, it's just for shits and giggles. You really just there for the camaraderie. Y'all ain't really watching the game.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Your team ain't even in it. Don't you like Washington? Hey, listen, man. Ain't nobody talking. I wasn't making a person on my team. I already told everybody. My team stinks. Don't try to put it on my team.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Just say it. But you're different because you get excited about doing a football game. You get excited. And you ain't going to be bringing no type of negative energy or no drama. And this is not for me. This is for America. All jokes aside, I'm a huge. America, this is not for me.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Okay. America, all right, all right. Stop lying to me. This is not for Darnell Rollins. This is not for Darnell Rollins. Exactly. Why you got to say my whole name? It's the Darnell Rollins show.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I thought it was personal. No, all jokes aside, I'm a huge sports fan. I mean, from everything from football, obviously, basketball, hockey, baseball, everything. I'm a huge sports fan. So, for me, the Super Bowl is serious. All sports. Every Sunday, I'm doing games at my house. It doesn't matter what season.
Starting point is 00:41:51 I'm at my house with the games on and I'm cooking. I've actually had a whole happy hour, Heather B. thing started. So I'm quiet during the game. Nobody want to hear about your podcast, happy hour, Heather B. Everybody know you happy hour, Heather B. Everybody know you happy hour, Heather B. Everybody know. I'm quiet during the games. In fact, I'm side-eyeing all the female guests that come
Starting point is 00:42:12 that don't want to watch the game and just asking me to put something else on on the other television. Like, I don't really like that, but I try to accommodate, you know, my guests. But I'm big on sports, man. Like, that's what it's about. It's about the camaraderie. I do add a little atmosphere to it. I'll throw the music on and everything to get everybody.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I do. But that's why I love you. How? That's why I love you. We fight. But that's why I love you. Anytime I've been to your crib, anytime. One thing I notice when people talk about your food,
Starting point is 00:42:41 and I'm not a huge fan of it. Wow. I'm not. But the love that you got on the streets and they love it. It's like, I'm like, alright, y'all love her and so what? You gotta get that vibe. I've seen you do it too.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I've been to a lot of your joints and that you have this on a person when you're outside of work and I've seen you do it too, just with the family. You big on that. We go back. Ricky Lake. Remember I was going to quit Ricky Lake that day?
Starting point is 00:43:15 Hey, y'all, look. Hey, Donnell, look. I don't know if everybody knows how daytime television works, but daytime television, they have a schedule with like three, two and two or two, three and three, where they shoot two live shows a day, three live shows or whatever to finish out the week.
Starting point is 00:43:32 So me and Donnell had to do back to back shows one day, but Donnell ain't telling nobody that he, he had like, he was getting side paper and going out on auditions and booking little shit. So one day the producer came to Donnell and was like, Donnell, we need you to stay. The next show is going up in approximately 35 minutes. Donnell was like, nope, I got to go.
Starting point is 00:43:54 I got to do this audition. So I looked at him because I needed my little bit of day rate. So I stayed. I was in the corner quiet. Donnell was like, nope, I got gotta go do an audition she's like what no Darnell you were told that you have to stay for the third show nope I ain't going she walked off
Starting point is 00:44:12 with a little clip boy that was mad Darnell was like pacing back and forth catching a junie was like fuck that you know what I'm saying I gotta audition for Spiderman I ain't fucking up my Spiderman shit yo You know what I'm saying? I got to audition for Spider-Man. I ain't fucking up on Spider-Man shit. Yo, it was two things going on in my head.

Yo, you say you stuck to your guns. I wasn't mad. You went to the audition. And you, yo, you got the part. Like, I couldn't even be mad. You got that shit.

Like, with everything, even you being a father, you don't never stop that hustle and grind. You always make time for your family and friends in the interim. And I respect that about you, for real. You know what? And coming from you, it means a lot because you can't wait to hate on a comedian.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I can't wait to hate. I can't wait to hate. I can't wait to hate. I'm really not interested in the best comedians. I don't want to know myself. Heather asked me this question. This is the worst question you can ask a comedian. She'll look me right in my face and say, yo, Donnell, come here, nigga. She'll be like this.

Starting point is 00:50:55 But everybody wants to make. This podcast isn't about me. It could be inspired by me. It's like a TV show. It could be be about me but it's going to pose different questions it ain't about me stop trying to put it on me it's about y'all it's about us it's about that candle and this motherfucker is watching this podcast well i see the fact that he he didn't have the microphone in that shot last time, and they should use the 33-quarter Pro-Am processor for the voice. Them niggas be like, well, I mean, if he stays in the game at this rate,
Starting point is 00:51:33 I mean, Joe Rogan, he started 10 years ago, but nobody's going to be a Joe Rogan. You know, they be putting weight on it. Yeah, man, and like, fuck, it's so much better. It's so much worse. That's the voice of a troll. It's so much better. It's so much worse. That's the voice of a troll. It's so much better. It's so much worse. I'd rather fucking blow my goddamn
Starting point is 00:51:51 brains out than listen to another eight hours of Don Air Rollins. But they listen. They listen for an hour just so they can be critical of it. What about another troll, Jack Triller? What? What?
Starting point is 00:52:06 Who? Ha! Here's the thing, and it's like, I wouldn't even admit shit that makes nothing, makes me no way. Martin Lawrence has a tour coming out, the Lit As Fuck tour. Some dope names on the tour.
Starting point is 00:52:22 A lot of names I recognize. A lot of names I recognize a lot of names i recognize some names i barely some names i didn't even acknowledge i didn't know i'm doing a breakfast club last week and i mentioned they mentioned that guy i don't want to say his name but that guy he said that guy's on i said he's not on tour yes that guy is i'm like more power to him I like him I didn't know when I first got the rollout it wasn't there it could be more power to him and this is what they do the wanksters
Starting point is 00:52:59 you have relationships with them you could easily just pick up the phone and call somebody. Anything, if you think it's a misunderstanding, the first thing you do is pick up the phone. Donnell Rollins don't want the smoke. Him, his name don't, he said, I don't want the smoke. You better hope they don't put me, you behind me. Because you're going to have problems.
Starting point is 00:53:33 I'm like, this is a joke, right? It just, Jack Thriller. Ring a bell it does it don't whatever this is what I hate my feelings about
Starting point is 00:53:49 and I'm sensitive I've known this nigga for years when he first went to This Is 50 when he needed oh Chappelle show was popping

I've always done a show, never ask no money, no nothing. In Cross or whatever, we talk maybe comedy, but there's always some good advice, but nothing
Starting point is 00:54:09 negative. Then a nigga called me a bitch. And I'm like, we're living in a world where people were actually fake beef. Fake beef. I've come from a place where beef was real. You call somebody out because you had some personal,
Starting point is 00:54:25 not like, cause you're trying to drive ticket sales. You're trying to drive ticket sales on the Martin Lawrence show. If Marty can't sell the tickets, Jack Thurlow definitely ain't. And what you're going to sell, the fact that I'm going to show Donnell something, somebody who's been a vet for 26 years,
Starting point is 00:54:41 somebody you've seen rip stages, somebody that you can Google and see stand up, somebody that's like, you know what type of nigga I am. Why? Because I want to sell tickets to the show. Guess how I grew up or started this business selling tickets to the show? By being funny. By proving yourself.
Starting point is 00:55:01 By paying your dues. It wasn't uploading a motherfucking video. You paid your dues. And you can get it the way you get it, but paying your dues. It wasn't uploading a motherfucking video. You paid your dues and you can get it the way you get it, but pay your dues. I can't even understand how you think you could fuck with me on a stage. You don't even play. You ain't in the streets, nigga.
Starting point is 00:55:22 And I ain't trying to beef. We going back and forth, but but your beef your whatever it was makes no sense to me I work out every fucking night nigga I ain't working out with no fucking Instagram niggas I work out with the baddest niggas my weekend is filled with top flight niggas and I'm there and even when I wasn't fucked with them niggas I fucked with the baddest
Starting point is 00:55:49 street niggas the realest niggas the names you never heard of but they would tear your ass up on stage so for you to even it was very insulting me bruh
