Do you know that song? No. You got a good voice for it, though. I got a good voice for everything. What I got? A country. What's that? It should be a country song.

Like that, we were going down the street and I saw her. I made a country song before. It was about something that was going on in my life uh um I was it's called I don't think I had a name for it but it went like this here I am sitting you got a picture of this I'm in a pickup truck with a dog, right? A dog is right there, it's raining, windshield wipers are going and shit, right? And I got teary eyes, I'm looking sad as shit.

And this is one of the words, how it goes, part of it, it said, it was the same as I was lonely in the parking lot. Yeah, and it went like this. Here I am in the parking lot all alone. This never would have happened if you'd have stayed to fuck out my phone. Yo, yo. That's the only part of the song, but it was going.

That's what country music is, is when you're going through something. You just sit down and get a guitar. This is how my voice changes. sit down and get a guitar this is how my voice changes sit down and get a guitar and you what else you do samson when you're going to go cowboy that's right i just talked about a pickup truck so i'm sitting here in a goddamn pickup truck and uh just chugged down a case of bud Light so you know I'm still thirsty. Yo. Yo, who the fuck drinks Bud Light? Fucking Samson.

No disrespect to it. Bud Light is like, you just, why? What is the purpose? It's water. It's just water. Why don't you just get your water the old-fashioned way? Through an IV. Because I can't afford it like you guys.

Dave almost threw my whole thing of Bud Light outside of the track. way through an IV. First of all, you don't go to somebody's house with butt light. If you're going to do that, anybody listening, you call and say, hey, what y'all drinking? You don't just take it upon yourself. And your glasses look like butt lights. Your glasses look like a butt light drinker would wear. Been traveling these wide wear. I'm looking for a sponsor. Been traveling these wide roads. I know some of y'all say, why is this dude keep singing his song? And I tell you why I keep singing his song, because this is the first podcast after doing what I consider to be an epic week

of fun filled family fun it was amazing and I know some people are saying where is Nikki it was brought to my attention that Nikki ran out of gas what I've run out of gas before

have you ever run out of gas Stephanie it's the worst when you run out of gas before have you ever run out of gas Stephanie it's the worst when you run out of gas I did it I had a Mercedes SUV right red and the motherfucker was fly the worst shit is when you had a light

and you ran out of gas in a fly car people like yo yo they was as you learn how to fuck you run out of gas in a fly car? People are like, yo, they was waiting. And she learned how to fuck. You ran out of gas, nigga. I ran out of gas. I didn't have nobody to push me.

I was trying to push that big motherfucker. So it can happen. People do run out of gas. But hopefully she'll make it in time if she got some gas. I think she'll be here. I'm pretty sure she'll be here. But moving forward, she was there at Darnell Land last week. We did something.

We talked about it a lot. I've been talking about this river for the last couple of years. Last week was amazing. Last week was amazing for so many reasons. It's one thing to have an idea. Don't you agree, Samson? Of course. You know, people have ideas all the time.

I got a great idea. I got a great idea. I got a great idea. I got a great idea. I got a great idea. But what happens, they don't have the execution to make the great idea happen. I come up with great ideas all the time, but do I follow through? This particular idea, I follow through. You did. We executed the shit out of that.

And we say we. We mean Latoya. We mean Lori. We mean Heather we mean Stephanie and that's it I'm not going to talk about Elizabeth I'm like wait a minute

we're missing somebody Elizabeth no I did that on purpose because it was a joke but i'm telling you as much uh how dope everything came together none of this would have happened if it wasn't for elizabeth wade i have to give her props she executed she executed she thought this is what i always tell people man when you work with people it don't really serve you to have people that think just like you or on the same page at the same time it serves you when

you have people that think ahead of you when you say when i say something like you think we should um change the tablecloths and it's like check like this woman and you and everybody involved, this shit was so fucking smooth from the first day of having the breakfast. We had a breakfast birthday. My little cousin, Dawu. Look, look at Elizabeth doing everything. She's a super bitch. I mean super woman. I mean super fit bitch.

What do I say? Am I being disrespectful? She just super woman. She did everything. Not only did she organize and put all this thing together, it went flawless. We had gift bags. We had greeting letters.

We had an app. You know when a nigga get the first first app when they get an app they can because i was like you might want to send a flyer she was like i have an app for that i don't know what this app is but this app had everybody it was amazing she's like i can take the events samson take this and bring them back yeah she would be like you had to you had to check in. You had to confirm. But you would think it would be a hassle. But everybody was saying how smooth it was. And this is how I know it was a good app,

because it shut my asshole brother up. You know everyone has an asshole brother. It's just if it's you and another sibling, someone's the asshole. Everyone has an asshole brother. And not saying that you and another sibling, someone's the asshole. Everyone has an asshole brother. And not saying that you don't, you dislike this motherfucker, but you know they're an asshole. And I think what contributes to him being an asshole

is that he went to Brown University and Georgetown Law. And most people with those type of credentials are assholes. Like, you know, people start to say stuff like this, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, no, yeah, so I'm sorry. Like, you know, so what sit like this i'm sorry i beg your pardon no um yeah so i'm sorry like you know um so where we would we you know that like what would be um would it be uh so yeah so uh this fucking shit people do not know what it takes to put on something the way we put on this event. Flying people in. Making sure people get their rooms.

Making sure people are notified about things. Making sure that you're a good host. Trying to accommodate different personalities and everything. Making sure they're getting to all the events. And you do that. And it's interesting because we was doing this. One thing, Elizabeth doesn't like me to spend a lot of money.

Right? And we had a situation where it was something to do with money. And a person involved said, so what? Donnell doesn't want to make money?

To which I said, no, I don't want to make money. I want to make memories. You know? Like, this event wasn't anything to do with, like, oh, shit, I'm going to get paid. You know, like this event wasn't anything to do with like, oh, shit, I'm going to get paid. It was just like seeing different people from different places. I mean, people putting efforts in as to fly in.

Seeing old friends you haven't seen in a while. Seeing people that you haven't seen in a while. See other people that you haven't seen in a while. Seeing people that you haven't seen in a while. See other people that you haven't seen in a while. And like that, it was like so many, oh, shit. Oh, shit. What are you doing here? Oh, shit. It was dope.

From the breakfast and then the kickball game. Yep. Winner. Streets. You was for the streets. I was for the streets. That's what she said. But, no, you was on the punk-ass streets.

Winning team. Winning team. Winning. The reason why that team won is because the Creeks' number one first round draft pick coming out of Howard University with a 40-yard dash of three seconds, went down. Who was that? Fuck you mean, who was that?

Me. Yo. It's Donnell Land, bitch. Who was that? Yo, it was me. Heavily recruited out of Brooklyn. Heavily recruited. It was me and a guy named Tayshaun Smith.

Right? It came down to him. He went one. I went two. Whatever. Highly recruited. I couldn't play. And this is another thing you find out.

You never really know how your siblings really feel about you until it's a competitive situation which leads me to the story of my little brother da wo trying to kill his older fucking brother the punk ass streets i'm pitching i'm hitting what i call this the kn, ether, twister. That's one of my things. I do a thing where I make the ball, it rolls, and right before you kick it, it just stops. That's how you hurt your leg? No, that's one of my pitches. I call it reverse kick spin.

I pitch the ball, and right when you go, whoa, it stops right there. And then once you finish kicking it, then the ball keep going. But all that got you hurt. But that got you hurt. No, that's not what got me hurt. I'm going to tell you what got me hurt. Going back to my fucking evil younger brother, he's up to kick first, right? And I didn't know he had so much hate in his heart.

He might have had it in his heart, but it was in his foot. Yo, I don't got no hate in my heart. It was all in my foot. That motherfucker kicked that ball. And all I keep on saying, because I'm thinking, Coach, like, hands in front of you, catch the ball with your hands. That's all I'm thinking. Catch the ball with your hands.

Keep your hands in front of you. Always keep your hands in front of you. Man, that ball came to me and missed all my hands. It went straight to my chest like. And me being the person I am, everybody took the opportunity to laugh at me. In the park. They didn't even see if I was okay or nothing. They just started.

We was looking for you when we didn't see you for a while. We was looking for you. Okay, what happened was, that's what happened. I came back from that shot in the chest. Next up, I get the kick. Now, I told myself, you done tore your patella,

all this type of shit. I done did all the stretches, bending my toes. I'm telling people stretch. Motherfuckers bending my back down harder and shit. And I was in between third and home and i was trying to get home he was like go d go go i was like fuck that i ain't gonna let these niggas throw me out it was a little wet i turned some kind of way and i felt

yo i felt i felt i said i said oh shit i'm out i'm out i went out i was out of the game angelie she's on the street she didn didn't even kick. She just did. You know Angelique did her yee pose. I mean, she had to focus on being the best coach. She didn't coach shit. She didn't coach shit. That's our style. We don't need a whole lot.

Let me see. I'm going to see. I'm going to see. She was the worst. Hold on. Let me see if she answers. But, okay, going through what happened. Now we're only talking about day two.

Here's the thing, Toy. Every day, the first day was day, I was like, nigga, it's the first day. Then the first day, it was like, it was, then the second day, it was like, you know it's only the second day. I was like, we got three more whole ass days to do some fire ass shit. Then come the comedy shows.

Elizabeth, there's video. So that Saturday, this Sunday, cause we didn't list Sunday, Fundy as one of the public events. Cause we didn't know how to control it. It was people's safety.

You know, it's the weird thing about it But you can admit this like being there right and this is what I was trying to get That what the environment I'm trying to create is that you can come and have a good time with or without your kids. Right? That's true. Because I was thinking, I was like, next time I got to bring the kids. Yes. It was so many people that, it was so many people like, man.

I wish, because it was like the kids were doing their thing, the adults were doing their thing. It was beautiful. I had a nine-year-old kick my ass in volleyball, man. Who did you play? Who did you play? It was so good. I don't even know his name. Oh, was it Kai?

It was Kai. It was probably Kai. He had his gear on. Huh? He had his gear on. No, Kendra's son was cheating. I would have never played with that motherfucker. Yo, Kendra's son is like 6,000 feet tall.

It was so embarrassing. Yo, it was. My favorite part was that I did not have to wear heels all weekend. That was the beautiful part of it. That was the best damn part, I tell you. And then the river. Oh, my God. Yeah.

The river set my soul on fire. It was so beautiful. Man. And here's the thing. It was supposed to be that type of day. Because every day, the weather got better and better and better and better. It did.

I was mad I left when I left. Motherfuckers be doing it. I was like, man, this was great. Yeah. It was. Now people know. I understand what I did. Dave never fell in love with the river like that.

If you don't go put some floaties on it and take that two-piece off and put some floaties around that two-piece. Yeah, but that's part of the thing. You go in the middle of it. You get out, you hit the water. But the next time you go, there's a trail. I'm going to tell you, you're not going to believe this. It's a um a trail i'm gonna tell you you're

I did see that, yeah. Yeah, that's the deep end. That's the deep end. You can even. That's happening next time too. Yeah. I got to do that swim. But you know what I really like about it the most?

Oh, this nigga off the set, so you working on, you calling us from the set? I'm still on.

You said I was going to be on your show. They called me twice. They said, earthquake. And then I think about it.

They wanted me to say, what is he doing? Right? That's what they was trying to get me to say. They kept saying shit like this. He's unavailable. Right? They was waiting for them to say. Oh, yeah, Jermaine did say it the other day. I talked to you.

He said, oh, yeah, I almost forgot. He on set doing a movie with Jerry Seinfeld. I said, nigga, he just told me that, nigga. But I can't front, son. I can't front. Anytime I hear you on the set, anything like that, I get happy, son. No homo, whatever. I'm telling you, I get happy.

I was happy for you when you got your Netflix deal. I was happy for you because it represented so much. It represented a motherfucker that's like been. This is what they don't understand. A motherfucker that's been thorough. You know the word we use. Thorough. A nigga that's been thorough since he first started like a beast Not like a lot of times people have

Years and years and years before they develop and find a voice You got certain niggas finally voice like soon as they grab a mic. It was like They were born to do this Earthquake is one of those guys. And we both DC niggas. We don't be giving up props like that. You say something about a nigga you love, we be like, yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, he cool, yeah.

Yeah, he all right, nigga. You know what I mean? Okay, what's up? So where we going? Y'all want something from the bar? That type of shit. But that opportunity and the person that has had a level of success from this, from onset, and when I say that, when you first start in this game,

you really, you don't want to work a regular job. So our hustle or our situation was get a comedy night, right? Get a motherfucker comedy night, blow that shit up, and that's what you eat. Earthquake was one of the guys that did it. Bernie Mac did it. Cotton Club. Monique did it.

You know what I'm talking about, Quake. Them rooms. Right. You can eat off them rooms. You can eat off them rooms. You could eat off them rooms. Yeah. Yeah. But then, after a while, it's like something you eat a lot,

you're like, oh, I'm tired of that. I want to eat off something else. And then you move up. You move on. You do. You come to LA. You get these connections. And this guy, it was just random.

I was returning a phone call. And this could possibly be our podcast. We do it together. But to see somebody, and this is so important man that's deserving man and you could tell when somebody deserving because people happy form a different way they ain't like yeah and then you did that one part when you hit something in the head and i was like i love this nigga no you talk about you talk about i seen this nigga come through these comedy clubs year after year after year after year, stand up with everybody, motherfucking freaking different shit every time and give me your money worth. So when motherfuckers like that get it, it feels good. I'm so happy for you Quake.

And I love it. The tour we going to go on, I watched you this past Sunday and I was so proud. I said, oh man, it's going to be beautiful. Nigga, you know what we about to do, son. They picked the wrong one, son.

Yo, I mean, I i mean i mean i mean i mean it is what it is it is what it is baby and i tell them i'm looking forward to it i saw it you're blazing you're hot i i was like yes and this i'm i'm proud to be sharing this stage with you, brother. I swear to God. Man, we're going to kill it. I'm telling you, I'm just, first off, we're going on a tour. It's the first tour Earthquake's ever did with his name on a tour. For years, it's been like the No Cap Tour, the Rise and Shine, the George Floyd Foundation Tour.

You know what I mean? It's always something. But this is his tour and his name is the lead in his shit. And I ain't gonna front. Earthquake is a motherfucking problem on that stage. I'm a problem on that stage. And this is a real shit.

Some motherfuckers won't fuck with, don't wanna fuck with either one of us. At all. At all, like nah, so nah, we, I gotta get ready to get outta here, man. Don't get ready to get out of here yet. And when I go up, I want you to say this, and then I'm going to tell them this, and then we're going to do this, and then I do that, and then I'm going to do that.

I ain't saying nothing, son. I'm just saying, let me tell my story. Hey, son. And then you're going to do this, then they're going to turn the light down, right? And then the bitch is going to come through with some sparklers, right? One of them is going to be in the ass, but to hear the thing, a bitch gonna blow the sparkle out the bitch ass, nigga. And then that's when you say my name.

Say my name right there. Oh, my God. Say my name right there. But, like, I'm telling you. You know what it is I would let that marinate man please dude I'm sure he's loving it

I'm telling you man like to do that some people like to when they have somebody open for them they want it to be light like yeah cause I want to get them then you got motherfuckers like this nigga let's get this shit popping we feed off of each other and even when you when I saw you Sunday I got excited right i got excited son i didn't grab my chest i didn't say right i didn't do nothing i know that's you used to that now you get that everywhere now

at the netflix joint right but when they said i walked right in that moment they said i was special guests and when they said you i did like that said, said, yo, I'm not gay, Quake. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I said, Earthquake Hosea. You didn't hear me, so I said, Earthquake Hosea. I was like this. I said, ooh. I said, I know, know, know I'm going up.

I was like, ain't no way, nigga. Let's eat these niggas up. Let's give them something to talk about. Something to talk about. July the 9th. How many are we doing, like 14, 15 cities? Nah, we going to be over like 25. We going to be up there.

Yeah, we going to be up there. We going to be up there, man. And I'm gonna tell you something. This is so dope. This is so dope about this, son. Everything happens for a reason. It was announced some months ago, Dave Chappelle was doing a series of specials called The Home Team, of which you and I both taped at the same time. Your special was the lead special, right? And I remember we both taped those, like maybe a couple of weeks apart from from each other.

But I'm going to tell you something. I saw your set and I just threw my whole set away. Yeah, yeah. That like threw it away, way, way, way, way. But I was like, I think. And, you know, it was it was a moment for me. My shit was on deck whatever reason after whatever reason i know what it is i was doing a lot of stuff that wasn't relatable whatever whatever it was and it was good i even asked dave i said how do i go from getting a standing ovation to chest bumping to fucking talking to stanley like yo we got it we got it to okay wait and he said donald you're a funny guy i'm gonna put you in front of any audience all day.

You're gonna rip the room. But that does not make it a special. And then I was like, then what the fuck make it special then, nigga? Then the nigga put Earthquake DVD and said, that's special. I said, okay, nigga, throw my shit away, nigga. Nah, but I'm going to tell you.

And then one thing about the specials, they come, they have to come in your life at a certain time. And when I saw this special, I was like, yo, y'all don't understand. This is just years of, like, fine-tuning. This is years. This is years of just being in the trenches, getting met with so much rejection. And what people don't understand, like, especially, like,

we are getting these accolades later in our career, Kawek. You know what I'm saying? Like when niggas was running past, like, yo, that's the thing. He was in Friday. They was talking about, I'm about to be in Friday the 18th.

Nigga, we ain't even getting no 13th. Memo was only one or two movies that we could get. We like, oh man, they just had the nigga movie of the year. That's it. Man, Ice Cube had niggas working. John Singleton had niggas working like a motherfucker. We was getting pussy off that.

Yo, I heard you was going to be in that Singleton joint, right? You could be this. My luck was so bad with Ice Cube. He did all comics. When he came in, he gave me a shot. He put me in a drop. He said, nah, nigga. But you come off like that motherfucker, though, son.

I know. You come off like a serious motherfucker. You come off like a serious good job. I appreciate the opportunity. I was like, damn, I sure thought I was going to get a bribe, too. Something like that. Oh, yeah. Right, because it was a handful of niggas that you talked about.

And Earthquake Name is always in the conversation for over 30 years. It's always in the conversation. When you talk about Beast, Rip It, all of that, you can't duck it. There's just certain niggas you can't duck. You might be a head talker. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. You didn't almost forget, nigga. You didn't want to say it.

You just didn't want to say it. You just didn't want to say it. Went through that. And I saw you on your podcast with, what's the Sharp guy? Shannon Sharp? Oh, Shannon, yeah. It was on his job thing. I saw you there. And guess what?

When I saw you on that, Quake, you was, if anybody can rewind that, see how he's sitting? That's how he's sitting with his legs crossing just keep picking his fingernails and keep picking his fingernails and i'm like come on man come on but i was so happy i was like that was what is that wearing what does he do with his skin and you quake you talked about that you talked about ups and downs your career you talked about some of that caught pieces of it maybe someone living above their means or trying to keep up with the joneses and you've had experience in your career where was popping

might have slowed down how do you maintain one your sanity and the drive to just keep going. I mean, even when you're not motivated, somebody said it, it's so true. Even when you're not motivated, you got to at least stay consistent. I always say you must stay consistent, man. You know what's funny. I know what's funny. And once you get to that plateau to

that level of being funny it's up to you to maintain that even if you're not motivated by that because man you you know it's the truth man this game we in boy you can go to selling out the Funny Bone, the Improvs, to being in one nighters in six months. You know what I mean? I don't have no plan B. And to be honest with you, and brother, I see on the corner on Capitol Avenue, Minnesota Avenue, Common Serve, I look at them and say, that could be me. So thank God he picked me out of all them to give me this the least i can do is work at it yeah that's right because he could pick you he picked a lot of

people that ain't ready he picks a motherfucker like yep you blew that god shot you had but you you picked it up and you you took advantage of it i'm gonna look this is something you've been doing this for years man and you know a lot of things that resonate in your stand-up and even in your life, your love for your kids. Even though I don't fuck with one of your kids, you know why. I don't fuck with them, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. You know that motherfucker who likes Seattle, okay?
