I'm asked the question to Joan and not to Joan.
I just ran up to my man and I got a very big strong feeling
that I'm gonna look just like you

Cousins or something, man.
Hey, like we are each other.
We are one.

We are each other.
Now I got a question.
Yes, sir. Like when I was, white people call it roasting.
I grew up in D.C., we call it joning.
When I said, do you know what joning is, what did you think?
Well, that means you're bagging on somebody.
Bagging on them.
That's another term.
Hagging.
Hagging.
I'm from Mississippi.
Okay.
We call it hagging.
Hagging.
They call it playing the dozen out here.
The dozen, right.
That's what they call it.
We play the dozen, but that's talking about your mom and daddy.
Right, but that's not bagging, right?
But that's bagging like that is bagging.
You bagging on my mom and daddy.
You bagging on me and my mom and daddy.
You bagging on my whole family.
So when you bagging, that means it ain't just jokes.
When you bag, like when I was coming up, when you joke, that means you look at somebody up in, oh, tell me.
When you bagging on somebody, you look at somebody up in hotel when you bagging on somebody you look
at somebody they down on the ground and you sit up and like you bag so hard you put them lower
you put them lower than what the fuck they really are that's what they do and that's what you call

They say smoke. Loud. Oh, we say loud.
They say loud and they say gas.
Now this is when, there's different times
you know how old you are. If you
say anybody got a reefer
joint. My mom says reefer.
Yo, I'm telling you. If you say reefer,
if you say reefer joint, then that
you're 50 or better.
I was in, oh, it's so funny because i was in baltimore a couple weeks ago i won't give out any names whatever
but it was an old school dude i was hanging out with right and he knows that i partake
you know i'm saying he knows i partake in the with the with the gas whatever they say
and you know old people when they want to give you something they got to plan it like fbi is
always after them.
He's like this, yeah, I'm going to come through on Saturday.

Yo, yeah, it cold.
Like, old nigga cold.
And they always look around, too.
They always got Kangol hats.
They always got Kangol. So he said, yeah, I'm going to come through and check you out.
I'm going to have something for you.
I don't know what is the something for you he's going to have for me,
but if somebody's got something for me, nine times out of ten,
I'm going to accept whatever they have for me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
yeah everybody
there's the fontilly
fontilly
that's for them
woke Brooklyn motherfuckers
that's for them
motherfuckers named
Shahiri
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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
You would go try to buy some weed.
You'd be locked up.
You'd be like, you'll go over there like, is this Javanta trying to buy some weed?
This is Javanta trying to buy some weed.
I'm going to do an impression of it.
All right, this is Javanta trying to buy some weed.

That's the most
gayest gift, but I appreciate it.

Thank you.
You're welcome.
Now you're getting too far.
You better go make me some goddamn pasta.
One day I feel like
going to get some flowers
and make a whole bunch of pasta
for Derry.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
and joaning
goes a lot harder
than roasting
roasting those guys
are prepared
they already know
they prepared
they prepared
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.
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.
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!
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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.
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
you're funny
oh yelling is not annoying
guess what motherfucker you right here
comments you guys
right here you guys right here in the comments. You guys.
Right here.
You guys right here.
You know the guy.
You know who I'm talking to.
The motherfucker say, yeah, cringe at 1738.
You guys.
You guys like, oh, fucking annoying.
I'm fucking just going to ruin another podcast.
So frustrating because I created a hashtag, fuck you, don't listen.
Don't want to listen to it.
What makes you funny?
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%?
Possibly.
99.9.
Yeah.
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. And I did it.
Period. I didn't.
I did it.
Oh, you were loud. Listen.
Here's how Joni works.
You look
at a motherfucker up and down.
You find something funny or
interesting. There's usually a group of
people around. You can't wait to cheer
They don't know whose side they gonna be on and you look at that motherfucker up and down and you give them the business and
DC it normally start with go ahead nigga. If I had them tight as it always start, but I know all here's the n-word again
That's how I talk motherfucker. All right, nigga. Go ahead nigga. You don't see so your jeans so tight nigga
Look like you bought to get a yeast infection. That's a corny warm-up. And then you get
one laugh. You get

motherfuckers. Then you get two laughs.
Then you get three laughs. The next thing you know,
the whole room is fucking

I'm going to tell you.
I don't endorse a lot of people,
but I like the guy David Lucas so much.
Damn it.
This podcast is almost to him.
I like him so much because he reminds me a lot
about me.
He reminds me that young guy
that thinks
that it's just
talent you know what I'm saying
it's just talent and you
everybody make you feel that way cause you ripping everywhere
oh he nice he nice so
you just think
it's about being talent
it's about just the talent
everybody's talking about it
and I'll get to this a little later why it's more than just
the talent but I saw so much of me in him cause it was like fearless Everybody's talking about it. And I'll get to this a little later, why it's more than just a talent.
But I saw so much of me in him,
because it was like fearless.
Like I don't give a fuck, yeah I know he nice, whatever.
I know his mother, I know my mother used to give me his DVD.
And that's what's so funny,
when we broasted, this motherfucker said,
he showed respect, he was like, nah man,
that motherfucker, my mother used to give me,
when I was little, my mother used to give me
his DVDs and stuff, I grew up watching them. I was little, my mother used to give me his DVDs and stuff.
I grew up watching them.
I was like, so why would you heckle a nigga
that you know your mom probably would have fucked
back in the day?
Yeets, nigga, like yeets.
It don't make sense.
It don't make sense.
Why would you do that?
Your mom's a fan.
Come on, you know what we do to fans?
To anybody in the industry,
hello?
What happens to fans?
Like,
fans?
True fans?
They do shit,
son.
True fans do so much shit.
I got one of my relatives
always call me
and be like this,

man,
ran into another one
of your fans.
She was fired, son. I'm like, I'm glad I could help that fans. She was fire, son.
I'm like, I'm glad I could help that situation.
He's like, I love your fans.
You know, but he had so much like that.
But guess what?
You learn lessons, you know?
And like, I saw so much in him of me
and me of one of my mentors
who passed away a couple months ago
comedian a fat doctor DC legend right if you've ever come through the DC if you
know anything about DC comic sir it's like two people that was kind of like
when you hear their names it's synonymous with old-school comedy Andy
Evans godfather comedy and fat doctor They were dope. They were like the
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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...
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Been fucking with them white boys too long and don't know what is real.
Shout out to Pop Smoke.

It was like...
Like, that didn't get off the horn.

Nah, nigga.
I mean, it is what it is.
Old school versus new school, baby.
You know, he showed me respect.
He was like, nah, nigga, I wasn't going to let you come up here and embarrass my old ass.
It is what it is, man.
You know, I got respect for Donnell.
When I was a kid, you know what I'm saying, I watched the Dave Chappelle show.
I had that shit.
In the sixth grade, I met my mama, bought me the whole collection of Dave Chappelle, and I memorized that shit. In the sixth grade, I remember my mama bought me the whole collection of Deschappelle,
and I memorized that shit line for line.
And that's one of the steps that got me into comedy.
So to have a person like Donnell,
I take an L from him, how could I be mad? Thank you.
