Starting point is 00:08:12 And I forgot about it. And then he came in the green room, and he looked around. He looked around again. He was like, he looked around. And I'm going to tell you, I guarantee you that black ice is the air freshener in his car. I'm 100%. He was dressed for Black Ice. In fact, we should get him.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I may say his name later, but we could get him to be the spokesperson for Black Ash. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like do an old 70s commercial. Like, yeah, man, you had that bitch in your car, and she had that twerk odor smelling, and you wanted to... Rob Markman He had that twerk wind. Rob Markman Yeah, she had that twerk wind.
Starting point is 00:08:49 It'd be like just, yeah, I present the bitch, I mean the queen, Black Ash. We should do that. So he come in the green room, right? He comes in the green room, and it was just me and him in the green room, and he did the same thing. He looked around. He was like, yeah. And whenever someone takes a couple of letters off the beginning of a word, they old school.
Starting point is 00:09:13 He said, remember what we was talking about? I remember. But he said, nah, you remember what we was talking about the other day, right? Well, I got that for you, right? It felt like he was Lenny from Good Times. I know that's before your time. But Lenny was a guy. He wore a pimp coat. You know who Lenny from good times I know that's before your time but Lenny was a guy he wore a pimp coat you know who Lenny is what was Lenny's phrase what was Lenny's phrase what is his phrase okay my name is Lenny he was like whatever you wanted Lenny had okay my name is Lenny and if I don't got in me he always used to rhyme.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Almost like a Huggy Lowdown character. So he got his, he said, remember what we was talking about the other day? And he went in his pocket, and he pulled out, it was a tube. And in the tube, he popped it up like this. Like a cigarette. And it was a joint. It was a joint. No, it wasn't a pre-rolled and it was a joint. It was a joint. No, it wasn't a pre-rolled, it was a joint.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And when I say- Old school. Yeah, when I say old school, you could, and like there's, he rolled it with top paper. Yes. Yeah, I don't know if you know top paper. I don't know what top paper is. You don't know top paper?
Starting point is 00:10:17 What is top paper? Oh my God, top paper, Google it, Google it right now. It's the 80s shit. It's the 80s shit. It was like, top paper was like, it was a little booklet, right? And it was like for tobacco rolling, right? It was yellow. Yellow.
Starting point is 00:10:29 And it was like. It had a top on it. It had a top on it. And it was like a thousand sheets. Yeah. But you never use a thousand unless you was old. You know how to protect your top paper. But if you did not protect your top paper, it'd get wet.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Oh, okay, there it is. It'd get wet. Yeah, that's the one. It'd get wet. You can drop that. We're going to drop that up there so y'all can see it. What was the other one? Easy Wider. Easy Wider. But you can tell, I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Fine Gum Cigarette Paper. Yeah, they always promoted the cigarette paper. But the top paper is like, I mean, it was with the top, when you roll a joint in the top paper, I know he probably had an album cover and he was getting the seeds out. He was rolling it up. He had an incense on his side.
Starting point is 00:11:03 And you roll it. When you do top paper, you roll it and you look around and you just keep talking. You're like this. Look, Javante, I'm teaching you. Alright, you're like this. Yeah, so the other day when we was talking, right, and they rolled it like this. And then this is the part right here. Women like this part. This part is something that Malik probably
Starting point is 00:11:19 tried on somebody. Shout out to Malik. Yo, do your thing. Love your life. But um and then you lick it like this and then you roll it up and then you do like this you gotta wet it and then you roll it again. But I don't know what it is about that paper. There's no burn like a joint from a top paper. He gave it to me. He was so proud of himself. So it lasts longer? Like what is it it about it's like i don't think it is anything particular about it lasts long before like we got really really popular we have all these different
Starting point is 00:11:51 brands like top papers are raw wasn't out all these other companies ran out so they were just the leader with rolling papers you know i'm saying it wasn't like like now you have papers specifically for marijuana right back then they pushed the fact because Top even had a tobacco that you rolled like singular, not joints, but cigarettes with. So it was just in the forefront of it. Everybody else came through.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I don't know why Top Paper won't like revisit. Top should have like some blunts. Some Top blunts. And then that's when you can bridge the gap between uncles and nephews. So people still smoke blunts and then that's when you can bring the you can bridge the gap between uncles and nephews so people still smoke blunts what
Starting point is 00:12:29 yeah I don't what did I say you saw a rap video a blunt you mean a blunt the actual rolling of tobacco yeah so
Starting point is 00:12:36 yeah everybody there's the fontilly fontilly that's for them woke Brooklyn motherfuckers that's for them motherfuckers named Shahiri
Starting point is 00:12:43 and Khalifa, you know, the more extra. Is it cleaner, safer? Nah, it's all tobacco, but it's just like, it's more of a, if you got Fonto,
Starting point is 00:12:52 it's like, if you got a bitch, I mean a woman, a woman, that you roll in and you smoke with, it's just, it's such a,
Starting point is 00:12:58 it's a procedure. It's a whole process. They like, oh, this motherfucker's so natural. You gotta break it a certain way till you get a chance to keep talking to the girl.
Starting point is 00:13:07 You know what I'm saying? Normally, them Fonto motherfuckers be asking girls their favorite color. You know, they be like, them Fonto motherfuckers be like, they like, yeah, what's your sign? And it don't no matter what your sign is, it matches with them.
Starting point is 00:13:21 You can say, what's your sign? Stop sign. Oh, my God. Yo, our moons align. But dude gave me that back to that story. Dude gave it to me. And then I, cause I'm like, I don't really need,
Starting point is 00:13:36 marijuana just floors me. I like it more on the creative side. Something like, that's why sativa, which you hardly, you're never to find a pure sativa. I think Jack Herrera. Herrera. Jack Herrera. I think that probably was the last known pure sativa strand.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Now it's all hybrid. That's one thing about L.A. and weed. You become a snob. I mean a snob. On the east coast of Atlanta, you just like, yo, what's up with gas? Yeah. So I don't smoke weed like that, but I always wonder, I remember back in the day, it was like regs.
Starting point is 00:14:16 How back is your day? I'm saying like, I know regs. I can smoke regs. Reggie. Whatever regs means. Regs. I don't even think that, does that even exist anymore? Yeah. You get it.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Is it shit weed? It's not really shit weed. It's not as potent as the weed is today. To be quite honest, I'm not mad at a reggie. You know what I'm saying? Everything is hyproponic. Everything with dust, moon shavings, ass shavings. You know, they got
Starting point is 00:14:41 so much tranquilizer and so much stuff that a reg could be a good smoke. You know, but nobody says Reg. It's Reg. Oh, Reg. See? That's how you know I don't smoke.

Starting point is 00:21:28 We should do it here. We should do a cooking show. We could do whatever, but I know the first thing, I'm not going to make pasta for him. Fuck that. We was talking earlier. I was talking about my love for comedy and performing. One of the
Starting point is 00:21:44 reasons I started doing comedy is because when I was younger, when I was younger, I was in DC we call it a joner. A joner. A joner is somebody that jones. And I'll give you guys the definition of joni all right nowadays you got a term people use it called roasting roast is basically insult just it's just a barrage of insults on someone but now roasting is so popular and so much a part of comedy at one time the only time you heard about roasting was the fryer's roast. Right, right. That was the biggest roast.
Starting point is 00:22:28 You know, it was like, yo, what is the fryer's roast? It's the time when a lot of white people get together, for the most part, and say all the evil, nasty shit they wanted to say to a person's face, but now they can do it, and people can laugh at it. You know what I'm saying? That's where roasting came from. When I was coming up in comedy, when you hear roasting, it was like, you mean that white
Starting point is 00:22:47 boy fryer roast thing that y'all suited up to fuck with people? That was called roasting. When I come up, the hood version of that was called joning. And joning is a word, joning is a, it's a regional thing. I know in the D.C. area, we call it joning. D.C., we call it joning. D.C., Maryland, Virginia, we call it jawn. I know on the West Coast, they call it capping.
Starting point is 00:23:10 You know, in the boardroom, and then when the bright lights and cameras are on, they call it roasting. The thing about roasting is that where it is now, for the most part, it's like, okay, you're going to do a roast. When you see these guys do the Comedy Central roast and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:23:27 you have the celebrities doing it. But not too often, any of the celebrities write their own jokes. They outsource. They get the best people. When roasting comes, you know, Chris Spencer's going to work. You know, Dion Cole is going to work. You know, Jeff Ross is going to work. You know these people are going to work.
Starting point is 00:23:44 That's roasting so roasting I think is very in the way they do it now is very predictable it's rules to it it's like alright guys we're going to come out here and we're going to have the roast battle on team number one
Starting point is 00:24:00 you get so and so time and then you get amount of time and then at the end of it whoever uses the amount of time or gets the most it's a whole bunch of real shit I didn't grow up roast I mean roasting I grew up Joni Joni did we get the did we get the urban dictionary and for the white people idea they have sometimes have issue with some of the things I say it's always good to have your phone ready and available to Urban Dictionary a lot of things I say.
Starting point is 00:24:30 You don't have to, it helps you out. I dated a white bitch, I mean a white queen, and every time we were on the phone, we got into an argument, I knew when she was Urban Dictionary and shit, because she said, I'll call you right back. She'd be like, I'll call you right back, and this shit come back like, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Is that what you feel? So you think I don't know about that life? So you're about that life, Donnell. Is there a future in being about that life? Okay. So what is the Urban Dictionary? Okay, so according to the Urban Dictionary, joning means making fun of a person
Starting point is 00:25:04 to the point where they laugh uncontrollably or either feel like crying. Usually this one. Whew. That's the joning. Okay, that's the part. You said they laugh out or, what was it?
Starting point is 00:25:16 They laugh uncontrollably. Uncontrollably or what? Or either feel like crying. Or feel like crying. Yes. Okay, that was a very good definition for white people. For black people is he laughing or want to fight you? That's Joni and the
Starting point is 00:25:31 difference is and this is the reason why people always ask me all the time Donnell we're doing we're gonna roast so-and-so you want you called me about winning our friends I didn't want to do it. Donnell um we're gonna do a roast for so-and-so do you want to be I'm like no nigga I don't because I don't want to do it Donnell we're going to do a roast for so and so do you want to be I'm like no nigga I don't because I don't roast I joan
Starting point is 00:25:49 and joaning goes a lot harder than roasting roasting those guys are prepared they already know they prepared they prepared
Starting point is 00:25:57 they got a writer then they go run the roast jokes on the crowd you seen it and I'm not knocking it oh shit I got nerves like my mother was going under roast jokes on the crowd. You've seen it. And I'm not knocking it. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I got nerves like my mother was going. All right, this is from my agency. So let me see. Okay. Hello? Michael, what's going on, Michael? How the fuck was Atlanta? Okay, first off, you're being recorded.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I don't want you to sue me. Atlanta was fucking amazing. And I'm going to do a white version of it and then a black version. Atlanta was fucking amazing. Okay, I'm excited. Let's do it. Okay, Atlanta was fucking amazing. I was well-received. That's for you. But for my people, it's like, yo, I ripped that shit, nigga!
Starting point is 00:26:43 Yo! I tell you, when I ripped it, and I get excited. You know, we always have these conversations, especially after a great weekend where when you get a call, first off, when you get a call about being on a Martin Lawrence tour, that's when all the Jews and all your agents get on the phone at one time.
Starting point is 00:26:59 You know what I'm saying? It's like, this is... I hope you're not recording this right, by the way. Oh, no, of course not. I haven't signed anything. No, no, of course not. We never record people without telling them. So normally... Keep it that way. Normally, something like a big deal,
Starting point is 00:27:13 like being on Lit As Fuck Tour, it's like your agents call you, it's like 10 people, hey, we got so-and-so, Greenstein, we got Smith, we got everybody, everybody, Steinberg, we got everybody on here, right? And when you get that call, you're excited about it. And they always
Starting point is 00:27:28 love to be on that phone call. But when you don't get that phone call, they don't never call you at one time. They just pick one person. They pick one person, and you might want to give them that news, right? But it's never that. But Atlanta was amazing. Ricky killed it.
Starting point is 00:27:45 B. Simone killed it. B. Simone killed it. Benji Brown killed it. Anybody, D-Ray killed it. I smoked it. It's a hot room. I mean, 18,000 people at State Farm Arena, it don't get any hotter than that. You know? It really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:27:57 It was great. You know, for me, just being able to work with Martin Lawrence in that capacity is incredible. But this weekend was good. And I got like, well, we got like four or five more dates that I'm excited about. I know. And those new ones, too. That's awesome. Congrats. And by the way, the reviews
Starting point is 00:28:15 from the Martin camp was that you killed it, too. Thank you. I don't want to say it. No, listen. I don't want to say these things. This is why you have agents so they can say that shit I feel it in my heart and in my soul every time I touch the stage
Starting point is 00:28:30 but when your agents say it like the reports you're getting back it means a lot I appreciate that yeah well it's true they loved it I had a quick question for you you know opened up a room in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Yeah, I know it's last minute. If we can do it, it's last minute. And he said something. He brought it up to me last week. He's been excited to get me in that room forever. If you think it makes sense and we can do it, I know it's a quick turnaround, but I don't have a plan. I got a deal.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Here's what I don't want. Right now, it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And Sunday is Easter Sunday. I don't think you want to be performing on Easter Sunday. No, we can't do an Easter Sunday show. No. No. So I think we do Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Or he can just pay you for the four shows. All right. Well, let's do... Yeah, it's a good deal. It's after... The expenses are a little high, but I get it. It's Connecticut. It's a good deal it's after the expenses are a little high but I get it it's Connecticut
Starting point is 00:29:26 it's an expensive state right if you sell out you walk out with not that big of a room it's only 340 seats right
Starting point is 00:29:36 and it's 25 bucks a ticket yeah let's go I mean let's do I want to stay I want to stay working up especially up to this to the Martin thing
Starting point is 00:29:43 so it's yeah I get it and I can do some things to the martin thing so it's yeah and i can do some things yeah i mean yeah you may have a weekend or two off in july i'm expecting or august so if you're feeling pumped and ready to go let's make money while we're making money and then we'll uh um you by the way i've had one weekend off this year so uh this year, so we'll fill it all we can. Great. Okay, so I'll find out about the Thursday stuff, and let's make sure they can get you some press, too.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Yeah, but then even with the concert dates, I'm only going in one day, so even though I'm not having a whole weekend, I don't have to commit like six days for one, so that works, too. It does. Okay, perfect. I'll have updates for you shortly. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you were being recorded too.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Talk to you later. Bye. Oh, yeah. Thanks, bye. I hope I didn't say anything too bad. No, you didn't, bro. All right. I just want to say, Sanders for president.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Good night. All right. Oh, my God. So what were we talking about before? You were talking about your love of stand-up. Yo, and I don't, one of the reasons I don't. And also roasting. Yeah, roasting. Like, people always ask me all the time, you want to
Starting point is 00:30:55 roast, you want to roast. I don't want to roast because I think it's just, it gets, I mean, those, they get too personal. You know what I'm saying? It didn't like, they say, people say shit. It was, oh, it's just a joke. Like, when you Joan, it's just jokes, but you know the consequences at the end of it. You could get punched in your face.
Starting point is 00:31:12 You know what I'm saying? You could Joan a motherfucker into a situation like, fuck you, what your hands do. But when you Joan, it's like, it's no rules. And the only reason I'm saying it is because, you know, you work for that podcast also, Kill Tony. Yeah. Kill Tony's one of the, Kill Tony podcast is one of the biggest live comedy podcasts in the world.
Starting point is 00:31:30 It's been going on for like five years. You know, like the biggest names in the comedy game have been on there. Rogan been on there. Burr's been on there. Burr's been on there. Brody Stevens. All the white boys, all the white boys been on there. What black people have been on there? What black people have been on there? Ian Edwards has been on there a bunchdy Stevens. All the white boys. All the white boys have been on there. What black people
Starting point is 00:31:45 have been on there? What black people have been on there? Ian Edwards has been on there a bunch. Donnell Rawlings. No, one time. All the black people.
Starting point is 00:31:50 No, the black people. The other black person, Eric Griffin. Eric Griffin was on there. Yeah, but he's like, he don't get like the Dotson Black credit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:31:56 He's like, he's going on both. On the cusp. Nothing wrong with it. I feel like, I would like to have more. I mean, we had Danny Brown, the rapper on.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yeah, I'm going to get to that. Danny Brown was on there, and Tiffany was on there, right? Tiffany was on there a couple times. That's true. And it's so funny. Okay, to kill Tony, the concept is there are some people in the audience that are audience members that could possibly become people that perform that night. They don't know until you pull that name out of their head.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Until you pick that, that person gets a minute to perform their stand-up. And in that minute, you're not allowed to say critique or do anything about it and Tony was very specific when I first got there to give me rules to the show right he was given the interrupted rules and I thought was funny because he took 15 minutes to explain one rule is that Donnell you cannot interrupt when they're doing their jokes right that's the format of the show. And there's a young man on the show, and I'm a fan, I've become a fan of his. It's a young man, he's very popular on the show,
Starting point is 00:32:53 David Lucas, you know what I'm saying? I think this conversation that I'm about to have, and his career's going upward, but it only can enhance the intrigue of David Lucas. And this is how they say his name. Do you know David Lucas is gonna be here? Yo, this is
Starting point is 00:33:14 how the white do. They look at him like a fucking roast god. They like this. They look at him like, fuck, you know who that is? I don't know, a fat dude that looks like Lorenz Tate? No. That's David Lucas you know who is that you know who that guy is
Starting point is 00:33:28 you mean the guy with the size 34 double D breast David Lucas whatever you know what I'm saying they look up to him like every Monday for I don't know how many years he's been just destroying comedians he hasn't been there that long
Starting point is 00:33:43 they gave him the warning, though. That's great. First off, I'm just trying to explain what's about to happen. Yeah. For whatever it was, at this point,
Starting point is 00:33:53 he was probably one of the most talked about parts of the podcast. Definitely. Is it fair to say that? Yes. Okay. While you defend your colleague.
Starting point is 00:34:01 No, no. I was actually doing the opposite. No, what I'm saying. I was saying, they were giving you a massive warning in the beginning, like, David's actually doing the opposite. No, what I'm saying. I was saying they were giving you a massive warning in the beginning, like, David's going to attack you. Yeah, but here's the thing. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I know, that was the day of the show. Yeah. But so people was like, I'll get to the part when people were like, it was an unfair fight. Yeah. But this David Lucas guy, who's very popular, he did roasting for All Def Digital. They know him.
Starting point is 00:34:23 They're like, oh, shit, David Lucas. Don't fuck with him. One day, and mind you, he works the door at the Comedy Store, which is a great position. The biggest names have worked that door. And I'm not belittling that position, whatever, but Sam Kinison has done it, everybody do it. It's just like, you go from there
Starting point is 00:34:41 to you still work in the rooms. So, and everybody knows him as the motherfucker that roasts. I'm walking in one day. I don't even know this motherfucker. And he just started roasting me. He just started roasting me. And I was like this, wait a minute. Is somebody behind me?
Starting point is 00:34:58 You know what I mean? Like, out of nowhere, I'm like, who is this punchy motherfucker, right? He trying to roast me, and all his friends are like, oh, yeah, David Lucas is going to get him and all his friends were like, oh yeah, David Lucas is gonna get him. Fucking David Lucas. Yo, that's their boy. They be like, fucking David Lucas just shredded Ashley.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Yo, David Lucas gave him the fucking smoke. We were in that doorway. I destroyed this little big motherfucker. Right? And I just kept bodying him, bodying him, bodying him, bodying him. That was one part. And this was was Jonan this wasn't pre-rehearsed I was like he's a big motherfucker
Starting point is 00:35:29 he got this little jacket on right I'm like listen bro I know you working at the door and I know you don't make a lot of money doing this you're going to roll whatever I said but I got $500 right now if you can make one of your buttons touch the other button and I was like oh I'm sorry I know you roll with Kill Tony and all these guys I don't want to insult you with that number one thousand dollars if you could button your button and then I know
Starting point is 00:35:50 he didn't accept the challenge but I heard his breathing change like you ever see somebody sucking on the inside yo I know I knew he wasn't gonna say he was gonna do it but I see he said he was like just what you mean button button I was like just do Go ahead and ask me what you mean, button, button. I was like, just do it. I said, button. And button. I said, button. I said, just button. I said, well, if you can't do it, I said, loosen up your buttons. I did Pussycat to the beat.
Starting point is 00:36:19 You say you can button, but I don't. I started fucking going in. This right here, to everybody listening, is an example of Joni. Joni is not recorded. I mean, it's not rehearsed. It's like on the spot. So we get to the part. First off, I adhered to all of Tony's rules.
Starting point is 00:36:40 He came in the back. He's like, Donnell. I know, Donnell. That's his voice. He was like, Donnell, listen. I know. He don't really move too much facial expression just like it's like asshole face asshole face you know asshole face is always straight and just say the most insulting things ever and I knew Tony was a problem because we did the all deaf digital roast 25 year roast he was the only white dude to go up there and I was like oh this nigga dangerous
Starting point is 00:37:05 because he did a joint because it was uh russell simmons produced it you know russell simmons any of his productions his menu catering is going to be vegan and vegan is like for some people they're not used you you like that shit for some people not used to it and then um um who's the chick uh black china black china was in attendance right? And Tony said a funny ass roast. He said, yo, that fucking mac and cheese Russell Simmons gave us was fake as Black China's ass.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Wow! He fucking killed it. I was like, it's motherfucking dangerous. So for so long, he's been trying to, and we became friends, and he wanted me to do a show. I didn't really know the concept, so I did it.
Starting point is 00:37:45 He gave me the disclaimer, you can, Donnie, we know you interrupt on Rogan's show, but there's a one time you can't interrupt that's when the comedians are doing their jokes. I was like, cool. I didn't interrupt one time. You did a great job at that, by the way. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:00 You were there. You know what I'm saying. And as much as I didn't interrupt. At all. I didn't interrupt. Not one time did I interrupt other than the times I was allowed to interrupt, right? So David Lucas
Starting point is 00:38:20 decided that he wanted to revisit the onslaught that I put on his ass a month before. This story didn't just start with Kill Tony Parker, it started a month before. I'm like, who is this young motherfucker fucking with me? And I smoked him, and everybody was like, David, I think you took a L. And then I know, as much as people like Don Neal,
Starting point is 00:38:42 David Lucas was on your brain all day, they was like, yeah, you was in his brain. Yeah, I was, because I was like, I'm going to beat the shit out this little motherfucker. I couldn't wait to whoop his ass. It wasn't like, listen, I couldn't wait to whoop his ass. And I didn't want to whoop his ass the way Tony wanted me to whoop his ass.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I didn't want to whoop his ass the way the rules of roasting are. I wanted to whoop his ass the way I do it. And it's something similar. we all saw the Wilder, Tyson Fury fight. What happened that day was pretty much similar. People even use that as a reference. They use that as a reference, the face,
Starting point is 00:39:15 and I know Tony was like, because Wilder said that he think he lost because he wore that costume that weighed 45 pounds, right? And it's true, that's what he said. That that weighed 45 pounds. It's true. That's what he said. That's what he said. That's what he said. He was like, it took his legs from him.
Starting point is 00:39:30 And I know David Lucas tried to use the same thing. He said he brought his 45-pound stomach in. He said he brought his 45-pound stomach in and it kind of took his legs away from him. And if you look at the pictures of me and Tony, I mean of Lucas, it was so funny. He didn't expect me. I knew. I watched the tapes.
Starting point is 00:39:52 People can say whatever you want. Like, well, you've been doing it long enough. He's a young guy. Okay, I understand that. But I'm about to do a show where people are going to look at it and they're going to say, who is, I might be just introduced to somebody who is this guy you know I'm saying like he let Davis in on I know I'm a celebrity with her but David Lucas on that show it's become the man of the
Starting point is 00:40:16 show definitely it's a highlight of the show and the beauty of the show and I told Tony it's a great show I don't know I know it's YouTube but I can see that on comment section whatever it's a great show it's um it's a great show. I know it's YouTube, but I can see it on Comedy Central. It's a great show. It's a great show. It's engaging. It's interactive. It's like lessons. Because even when you roast somebody,
Starting point is 00:40:36 whoever the celebrity comedian is, they say something about that person. And if anybody watched it, I'm a comedian comedian. I could Simon Cowell a comedy show, not to belittle, but just to teach. And everybody that went up there, whether they had a good set or bad set, I had some good encouraging words to say.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Constructive criticism. Constructive criticism. But I was honest about it. One motherfucker, I was like, you ain't have a joke. I said, but all you want to do is hear your name. was like right that's the beauty of the show like people that don't everybody that's on that show doesn't necessarily look like they're going to have a career of it or whatever just like oh fuck I did kill
Starting point is 00:41:14 Tony I got my 15 minutes of fame but what Mr. Lucas wasn't going to do was get his three minutes of fame off of Donnie Rollins off of a person. Not today. Not today, not tonight, not nada.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And I'm looking down at you comment, motherfuckers, just saying it was a Douglas filibuster. I wouldn't let him talk. For all you fuckers, okay, look, you motherfuckers down here. You. Yeah, you didn't let him talk. You were afraid. Yeah, he got one off on you.
Starting point is 00:41:42 What do you think? It's annoying? I mean, yeah, like, so, yeah, yelling doesn't make you funny. Being loud doesn't make you funny. You know, saying nigger doesn't make you funny. You're right. You know what makes you funny?
Starting point is 00:41:58 Is starting a career 27 years ago, starting on open mic, starting with going behind the baddest motherfuckers in DC, starting from leaving DC at the ripe comic age of six months, tricked myself into getting an audition for Deaf Comedy Jam by lying to the receptionist as if I was somebody. She didn't know me. Getting Bob Summer on the motherfucking phone. He says, you want to come up for audition? And leaving your job, getting used to your three days of personal leave,
Starting point is 00:42:30 nigga. I use personal leave, nigga. I use personal leave to go audition for Deaf Comedy Jam. Nine months later, I was on Deaf Comedy Jam. Those are the things that make you funny.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Coming behind some of the baddest motherfuckers in the world in stand-up comedy when people are like, what the fuck is this young guy going to do? And standing up to it, making a defining moment. Anybody can rip an audience that's nice. How about the night when
Starting point is 00:43:01 everybody fucking bombs and every fucking comedian is having bomb stories. Yeah, they were rough. They weren't paying attention. It looks like that crowd was drunk. And you're the one that stayed away from the motherfuckers and said, you know what? I'm going to beat this motherfucking crowd up.
Starting point is 00:43:15 That makes you funny. 27 motherfucking years. Watching motherfuckers that I mentored shoot past the motherfucker with fortune and fame not getting discouraged knowing that you're going to have your opportunity all you got to do is keep creating different platforms for people to see

So frustrating because I created a hashtag, fuck you, don't listen. Don't want to listen to it. What makes you funny?
Starting point is 00:44:10 What makes you funny is being able to do 18 shows at Radio City Music Hall with Dave Chappelle. What makes you be funny is doing a Tacoma Dome, Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan. Or you're name dropping. You're not name dropping one of your fucking friends. You know how many motherfucking comedians would work for free to be on a stage with Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle? What is this percentage? 99%?

But not only that, being able to be with those guys and not just be a favor we all know those people around people oh yeah they started together he was okay but i'm talking about holding your way to it that's funny not a one-shot deal where i should have never been in the ring with but I respect him enough to let him know I'll beat the shit out of you.

They were like the
Starting point is 00:49:46 Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor of their era. And I was on a roll with him, and I was a young dude, and these guys put me through the trenches. They used to say, when you first start off, people will always make excuses on what's going to happen to you or why you're not that good. At first it's like, yeah, he's funny,
Starting point is 00:50:02 but all he does is joan. You know? Damn, this lotion is so good ollie damn i got excited y'all know it's about that life i just stopped in the middle of conversation you know like um uh you did certain people that just synonymous with that city or whatever. And Fat Doctor, he was fucking fired. In fact, he mentored Martin Lawrence. He mentored Martin Lawrence, one of the first guys, one of the guys that took Martin under his wings, helped him out for his Star Search interview. They were good friends. And Martin even brought him to Los Angeles to work with him
Starting point is 00:50:45 when he first on in the show and it didn't work out I probably know why I think it's because you know when you when somebody shows you love or endorses you or whatever puts you on whatever
Starting point is 00:50:59 you gotta understand it's still about them it's always about them but they're giving you putting you in the situation to meet people build relationships a lot of times people just want handouts give it to them but like you know i'm not going to give it to you what i'll do is guess what you can have dinner with me and so and so and so and so and if your swag is right your personality right and you got ideas and you know the place to come in and talk
Starting point is 00:51:27 about it then you're in a position to meet the right people and I know fat dog I love him but fact that sometimes people could be so much into their star did they don't understand the star that's shining around and I don't know the story of it I've never heard any bad blood anything but me knowing fat doctor's personality I know it could story of it. I've never heard any bad blood or anything. But me knowing Fat Doctor's personality, I know it could possibly be overwhelming sometimes. I've had shows with him, and he's been in my green room talking about him.
Starting point is 00:51:53 I'm like, nigga, your name ain't on the door. Go get a door with your name on it. If you want to talk about yourself, get your name on the door. But if you're in here, it's this. And that's just the truth of it and i'm pretty sure that um fact i didn't get it because you know you hear you hear like okay martin funny then you hear like fat doctor like that big a beast you know this is how people get caught up
Starting point is 00:52:16 you know like some people like oh fat doctor would rip harder than martin whatever but that don't make you a star some people don't understand that don't make that don't make you a star. Some people don't understand. That don't make you a fucking star. But I remember, this is what the reason why I thought about the motherfucking Lucas nigga. Is I remember one time we were going on the road, me and Fat Doc, we was on the road. And I was talking about this weed I had, right? I was so happy.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yo, Fat Doc was like, you got some weed, young boy? I was like, yep, he said what? I was like, we talking about. He called it weed? Yeah, he called it. No, reefer. Oh, he called it reefer. He called it reefer. And he had top, I know he had some top papers, right?
Starting point is 00:52:54 So I'm talking about this weed and everything. We laughing. I'm telling him how good this weed is and everything. And we laughing like shit, right? And we building up everything. He got the, he done did this already. He done licked the two sheets together. He got that shit ready.
Starting point is 00:53:08 And he said, give me the weed. I said, nigga, I gave you the weed. He said, you ain't give me no goddamn weed. I was like, oh, this nigga stealing from an open mic? I'm like, in my mind, I knew I gave him that weed. And I was like, oh, nigga, you don't got to steal weed from me. I would have gave it to you. You fat doctor.
Starting point is 00:53:28 So it's just silence all the way to the show. I think he a thief. He think I'm a liar. So nobody is talking about anything, right? And my dumb ass, I was like this. I was like this. I Lucas'd it. I was like this.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I said, oh, this nigga going to steal my weed? Watch. Can't wait till I get to that stage, I'm gonna tear his ass up. I did my set, right, I did my set, and I was like, you have to be getting ready to get somebody, you trying to get some weed, and then the niggas say, where the weed?
Starting point is 00:53:58 I'm like, nigga, I gave you the weed. Nigga, you stole, I talked about it, right? Because that's what type of comic I was, whatever was happening in my life, I would talk about it. So I tried to blow him up like a thief. And that motherfucker, I know he had to be in the back like. I know he was like. That nigga been doing jokes for three months.
Starting point is 00:54:20 He tried to disrespect me. I'm a headliner, nigga. I go next, right? Man. He's trying to disrespect me. I'm a headliner, nigga. I go next, right? Man, that motherfucker, first off, this is what I learned. He didn't have to go directly at me. First off, he established how funny he was. He ripped the room. And he got the room right here.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And this is where he found the time to talk about me. Right when the rumor rumors about to just start going crazy, right? And I said, and then he said, and that little motherfucker two months comedy ass nigga, he said talking about I stole the weed. I put it in my pants. He said, look at me.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Do I look like I could sneak anything on this fat ass body? Shit, if I fart, y'all see this shit. Then he went, he made a joke about himself. He made a joke about me. And I just started shrinking, son. I was like this.
Starting point is 00:55:13 And then on the ride home, I found the weed. I felt so bad, man. But I'm telling you, it was a lesson. I'm telling you. And the point of that was that it was a lesson. You got to go out there. And that's why I say I like David Lucas. The reason why he's so successful at roasting,
Starting point is 00:55:35 because he's so successful at telling jokes. So people are already loving me before we even get to the roast section. He transfers that energy. When we was doing the Chappelle show, I was the warm-up comedian for the show. We did the wraparounds. Same facility, 106th and Park used to be out of...
Starting point is 00:55:53 We did the wraparounds. So we do a lot of taping. We were out on site shooting. And then when you get the sketches together, you bring them to this room, you have a studio audience. And and at the time nobody even know what the show was people just learned about the show it wasn't like 10 years where you can like oh it's the most wanted ticket ever we was giving this shit away yeah hey guys you want to see a show you know it was that type of
Starting point is 00:56:19 situation and i was a warmer comedian i will get the crowd warmed up before we actually showed the skits. And this was kind of similar. David's situation was... So I would go extra hard before because I knew if I ripped the audience as just the standard comedian at the show, whenever my face comes on, people are going to fucking explode.
Starting point is 00:56:42 You know what I mean? And that's why a lot of times when you saw me on the show whenever i came on people start clapping and stuff it wasn't that you know it was kind of like they've been knowing the character for three years they only knew him from that moment but i knew it would transfer and like soon when you see ashley larry yeah they laughed at ashley larry but they also laughed at yo that was the that was just up here here and here and david lucas i know and it's so funny people like yeah but you didn't give you didn't give a chance to talk you don't i'm sorry when you're john you guys you don't you don't you use whatever you have the n-word if i in the black
Starting point is 00:57:19 community you get somebody off your back by saying this this nigga here! Here's another one that you'll be upset about. I know this nigga ain't talking. This snigger. It's not niggas, it's snigger. Snigger. This snigger. It's not the N-word, it's the S-word. Yes, the S-word, the snigger, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:39 That's how it was. And I knew it, and they were like, and I knew it, and there was a couple times in that that they was like, you didn't let him talk. You don't get a lot of time to talk. You get a couple of seconds. And if you ain't smashing a second, I gave him, you wasn't ready. Bop, bop, bop.
Starting point is 00:57:56 You still not ready. Bop. Now I'm going to shoot you in your knees, nigga. Bam. I'm a black person with a gun. Bam. Tear your ass up. And that's what happened. And he and me, and then at
Starting point is 00:58:05 the end of it, we had my favorite part of that show, Tony's show, was being able to not be critical of people, but just get a feel of them and what they're trying to do. Everybody went on that stage. I knew how far they were probably going to go on comedy, who was serious about it, who was using it
Starting point is 00:58:23 as just the opportunity for that 15 minutes. Everybody went on it. I knew it. And I had something good to say about it. The old bitch, people got mad. They got mad, like, oh, you called the lady an old bitch. Man, listen, the reason why I use the word bitch, my father used the word bitch on everything. The bitch over there, the bitch at the grocery store.
Starting point is 00:58:39 He said, my mother one time, he said, your mother a bitch. I said, what? That's just, I don't, for people, you shouldn't say it. I don't mean anything by it. It just flows. It flows the way where a nigga flows off my tongue. It flows the way a nigga flows off of Paul Mooney's tongue, nigga.
Starting point is 00:58:59 It just flows. I'm sorry. I think most white people are upset because they don't know how to make it flow. It's no flow. It's awkward. It's always like, oh, whoa. It's always like, bubble into it.
Starting point is 00:59:12 You know? But, you know, it was, oh, shit. I don't know how long we've been rolling this. And I know right now, you guys, right here, I swear to you, it was not intentional. I promise we didn't mean to do that at all. All right, Donnell's right there, pocket, pocket, pocket. But the whole thing with, all right, this is getting perverted.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Can you hurry up? Just don't do it. I just, just, Oh, we got clips. Who did this? This is your job again, right, Deary? This is not even a clip. All right, then just leave it. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:59:56 All right, thank you. Fuck, man. Maybe this poster's better. God damn it. All right, this is the poster. And this is how I felt. I mean, just to be clear, this is a good time to, this poster. You got David, you got David Lucas, and you got this guy. You got David Lucas, David Lucas, and then you got this guy.
Starting point is 01:00:32 This is what you want, motherfucker? You couldn't handle it. Now you want to bring your bitch ass troll friends in talking about fucking rules. There's no fucking rules. To Jonan. So hey Mike Johnson, let me say one thing about your mom. We don't do that in these streets.
Starting point is 01:01:00 This nigga mother, that's how we do it. Don't invite me to a motherfucking roast and give me no goddamn fucking rules. I've been in this game for years. I wrote me a manual, a step-by-step joke-let so you could get your snaps turned up. Fuck, nigga, and I got bars, nigga. Yo, I did the show, and people say Donnell's a phony.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I said, hold on, this might be my last time on Kill Tony. A fat youngin' with a heart of a lion stepped with me on the mic. He didn't know 10 minutes later I'd hit him and he'd be dying, crying. David Lucas. Blow my nose. Now his name is Mucus. I do this. From the streets to the hills.
