The Daniel Rawlings Show.
Live in your face.
Fuck that bitch ass nigga.
You'll never take my place, nigga. Thank you. I can't do it.
A very iconic moment just happened.
At three different platforms,
I had Dave Chappelle on a FaceTime with Michelle Wolfe.
And then DJ Premier and RZA are on here.
Dave Chappelle calls me.
He said he wants to get on RZA's live.
I'm like, nigga, get an Instagram.
Get an Instagram.
He can't do it.
I'm trying to troubleshoot it.
Just texted RZA.
Told him Dave wants to bust in.
I don't know what's going to happen.
What?
Take off your Bluetooth
and I can get it off.
All right.
Take off the Bluetooth.
We're taking my Bluetooth off.

You're getting battles. DJ Premier. Pause that. Pause it. Because we can't do that. Pause it. Pause it. You're getting battles.
DJ Premier.
Derriza.
Dave Chappelle is aggressively
trying to get up on their shit
and he can't do anything about it.
Go back to it. Let me see what they're playing right now.
I don't want to break any copyright joints.

Don't you miss the stage?

Hold on.
Let me end this.
I do miss the stage.
I miss live performances.
The last performance I had, the last, last performance I had, it was at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. Is it Milwaukee? Yeah. Yeah. It was Pabst Theater. And it was
the last, and it's the funny thing about it because this was when Corona was like,
and it's not going to be a whole Corona episode whatever this one it was just just popping this one you could still
make a chinese joke with nobody tripping and i'm gonna tell you it was just popping so much that
we ordered mad chinese food wasn't nobody even mad at it like they had so much chinese food
paps theater has one of the dopest green rooms ever. The whole shit.
Barista.
Barista.
Barista.
Barista, yeah.
They had that.
They had people bring us food every night.
The, like, staff from the restaurant.
It was dope.
And this was the last night.
We were, we didn't even know how serious the corona was.
We were still making like crazy jokes like
ashley barnhill she's one of the opening acts for dave chappelle she's been working with him for
years and she was we saw her she had her her backpack like four rolls of toilet paper
it was like damn bitch what did you eat yeah you know i'm saying like you got the runs
or whatever but she knew a lot of white people knew before a lot of black people,
they knew this shit was coming.
And she knew it was coming.
We had no idea.
We cracked jokes, we cracked jokes.
I did not know, and this was like, what, we were in the fifth week
of it really popping off?
I had no idea that that would be my last stand-up show,
not knowing what my next stand-up show would be and as much as i like the
opportunity to be able to uh do the internet the online joint the zoom and all that type shit
i miss live performances and more than that i miss being with my crew yeah i miss being with my crew. Yeah. I miss being with the people that I dream with,
people that inspire me, the people that motivate me,
people that I looked up to.
Like, I just miss that whole shit.
And anybody know, they always like,
he's always talking about Dave Chappelle.
Dave Chappelle is one of my closest fucking friends.
He's not just a person I work with.
He's one of my closest friends.
He's a person, like, when I have issues in my relationship and shit,
and I want to just freak the fuck out.
And I'm older than Dave, but he always has, like, an older wisdom.
When I'm ready, like, to be just like, ah!
And on the other side, somebody ready, ah.
He always finds common ground to calm me down and cool.
This is my friend.
Not just
like you guys work together. No.
We've been to
weddings together.
We've been to funerals together.
We've traveled together.
We've been on private
jet together. He paid for it.
Always.
Always. Always
nigga. I make a good salary but that jet life that level
yo the jet life is a whole different level and this dude jets everywhere like some of us yet like
west coast like most like jters. Coast to coast.
This nigga one time jetted from like Yellow Springs, Ohio to Dayton, Ohio.
What are that, five miles away?
Yo, I'm telling you, this motherfucker jetted one time.
Literally, the driving time was an hour and a half.
The flight was 15 minutes.
And I'm not a jet.
I'm not used to jetting like that.
So when I get on a jet, nigga, I want all the jet shit they got for me.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like this.
I want coffee.
I want drinks and everything.
I'm the only nigga.
We went up for 15 minutes.
By the time we got down, I was lit.
They was like, what happened? I was like, I got my jet on. You know what I'm the only nigga. We went up for 15 minutes. By the time we got down, I was lit. They was like,
what happened?
I was like,
I got my jet on.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's like,
that's what you call
balling on a budget.
Yeah.
But the reason I'm saying
is like,
we do family stuff together.
Like our families
know each other's family.
You know?
When I did TLC's
on Project Dad.
Yeah.
That's what I did.
And the premise of the show
was that they take,
they take three celebrity dads
and they leave them with their kids for 48 to 72 hours alone
with no help from mom.
Oh, wow.
DJ Scribbles was on that.
It was a very popular soap star.
Daniel something.
I feel so bad that I don I know his last name now but if
those are the three celebs I know people like this what were you doing on a
Donnell and they put them with their kids for 48 hours to 72 hours alone by
themselves it was testing for everybody Daniel his kids I think at the time
were like 12 and like 13 or like 9 and 11 and then uh scribbles three kids and they were all
like in school i had a motherfucking newborn not a newborn austin was probably like a year
and something wow so uh maybe like a year and something and and it was gonna be i didn't know
how to be a dad but the only thing that
I had a problem with because I was like it should leave it'll be okay but um
Stephanie was breastfeeding or Austin was breastfeeding off of her titties and
you talk about how kids get to fall all over their parents breastfeeding that's
the best mm-hmm the breastfeeding is the best thing you do for a kid yeah it might not be the best thing for
the mom because for you to breastfeed you gotta be about that life you gotta commit because you
get one bad latch all it takes is one bad latch before formula is coming on you know i'm saying
like they got classes to like you gotta like I really respect women that
breastfeed because it's not just like like a TV like oh it's so no it's like oh nigga what the
fuck but one thing to do is it gets you snatched as they say oh yeah yeah because that like like
it draws your stuff back up but it's not just that it's a commitment because it's so easy to say oh it's so women quit it's so easy to be like oh no he didn't latch on no you gotta suck it up yeah
you know you gotta suck it up and you gotta and you gotta do it and then you always have like
when it comes to relationship with a relationship your wife baby mom whatever and a breastfeeding thing women it can cause a lot
of problems in relationships because what type of problems i'm gonna tell you the problem is
i don't also ain't got a latch on to my chest right i ain't got to deal with the pain i didn't
got to deal with the commitment you know what i'm saying but i know as a father and as a man
you know it's called liquid gold it's the best thing you could do for your kid.
It helps them with their immune system.
It's just the best thing all the way around.
But the thing is that men, we don't got to take the bad latch.
Yeah.
Women have to.
So our frustration comes in.
They're like this.
I ain't doing that shit.
That shit hurt.
And we be like, just we can do it.
They like this nigga.
Who is we?
These my titties.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And then the argument and the beef comes in because women get upset with their husband,
their man, whatever.
It's like, he don't care about me.
No, we care about you, but we want to do the best thing we can do for our kid.
So if the doctors say, the best thing you can do for our kid. Yeah. So if the doctors say,
if the doctors say the best thing you do for your kid is to breastfeed,
we don't want to hear about the pain.
Right.
You just want it to happen.
We want to,
it's not being insensitive.
It's like this,
man,
if I could breastfeed,
I would do it.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
But you can't.
And,
and that's what, what was I saying?
Well, we were talking about Dave and his participation in the Project Dad.
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
And his participation in Project Dad.
The point I was trying to make, Dave don't do anything he don't want to do.
Yeah.
You know, and I wanted him to be a part of the show.
It just been cool.
The producers wanted him more than I wanted.
I didn't want, I would never do anything to jeopardize my friendship or push that shit. Yeah. You know, and I was telling them that. They was like, you're cool with Dave. That's been cool. The producers wanted them more than I wanted. I would never do anything to jeopardize my friendship or push that shit.
Yeah.
And I was telling them that.
They was like, you're cool with Dave.
That's your boy.
I was like, listen, Dave don't do a lot of things.
I said, we do have a friendship.
If I ask him, if he says yes, he's going to do it.
What's the most memorable moment you have with him?
The most.
I want to finish that one first.
Okay.
When I told the producers, I was like,
David, this is the character he has.
He'll tell you straight up.
If I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it.
If I don't say I'm going to do it, probably won't do it.
But he said he was going to do it.
He told me.
He gave me his word.
The producers wanted, well, can he sign this?
I was like, what?
Sign?
Nigga, the nigga walked away for $50 million.
You think he'd give a fuck about your fucking punk ass show?
And what I was trying to tell him was, you know,
like it was a show was a show about me and my son.
I really didn't need it, but I knew it would add a nice little thing.
And I said, you know, your best bet, if he said,
this is the dope motherfucker he is, he was doing shows in England, right?
He said, I'm going to do it.
And I hadn't heard from him in a while, but he said he was going to do it.
But I'm telling him, he said he was going to do it.
I was like, what does that mean?
I was like, motherfucker, he said he was going to do it.
I was like, the minimum y'all could do it, just like it's Dave Chappelle,
one of the biggest names in the history
of comedy if you say you're going to do it it's better for you to roll a dice and spend three
thousand dollars production had them cameras ready if he's going to do it and you know what happened
he fucking did it and you don't see and i'm saying that that's just a just a a testament
of our friendship yeah you know i'm'm saying? It's not just like,
okay, you guys work that time and we've done that.
He's done,
he does family trip.
The one of the best,
if I don't know if this answers your questions,
but one of the best experiences with him,
his family and our whole team,
Chappelle crew,
we went to St.
Martin,
St.
Bart just before he got fucked up.
Yeah. You know, and Dave was like, Dave was like yo he just wanted to do a
a little
getaway for
Team Chappelle
cut to one of the biggest
mansions in St. Martin St. Bart
wow
closest friends or whatever
it was a good time to get away from the stage
it was a good time it was a good time to get away from the stage a good time it was a holiday season um dave um is connected with the nation of islam i was i quit oh wow
the bacon i had to i was like if we have a bacon amnesty day that would be one thing but i just
couldn't do it i said assalamu alaikum they was like assalamu alaikum but we he went in this dope ass space and

And we was
okay. We weren't balling.
He was balling. But I was riding
the ball. Cause no Charlemagne.

being on somebody's dick, but he was riding the ball.
He went in the yacht. I'm on a yacht, nigga he was riding the ball. He went in a yacht.
I'm on a yacht, nigga. It's Al

influential in this family.
Like if it's one, like this is like I can tell
the people it was star-studded.
Star-studded with friends. It was like this is a good time having a good time and and um i was like hey

Holiday means, you can tell me, I'm not on vacation, nigga.
I'm on holiday.
Holiday is different.
I'm on holiday.
I'm like this.
And ain't nobody mad.
Nobody mad.

And then she comes back up, right. I'm like, what do you

Austin on the hip.
And she
tell me,
you need to drink some water. I'm like
this. I thought I was drinking water for
the last hour and a half. That's
a rock. Tin was so
fire. And I was the life of the party after that
wow we eating we eating lamb chops and shit russell simmons is over he told my motherfucker
you all right and like it was just it was just a dope ass night and i was still a little
like inebriated right so i didn't know i didn't want the party to end everybody's
like leaving right i got flip-flops on ain't no lotion on my shit and r.i.p kim porter per usual
r.i.p kim porter was there right and i'm telling her and i i was like a little bit like this right
and she was like you need to um you're gonna we're gonna you're gonna get on your boat
right we're gonna get your boat i thought she meant like they had like uber boats out there yeah like i'm telling dave yo dave you want to stay i'm staying man
i'm like we turn it up and he was like man if you don't get your ass in the boat i was like no
puffy got a boat for me and kevin corey smith could tell you a story so kim i'm calling him
so kim was like i thought she was alluding to like
they're going to give me a boat. I can just hang out as long
as I want and give me a boat back. Cut to
they
poured me
into the boat.
Oh, damn.
I went there
with two flip flops. I left with one.
But I
had, oh man. I was
like, this is what holiday is all about, right?
So was it you had your own personalized boat?
Like a little mini?
No, no, no.
I thought that they was going to get me a boat to get back.
She was saying, nigga, you better get this dinghy back to your shit.
And I know I had a good time.
But I was like this, man, if there's any time to really cut up like that
and it feels safe, it's around your family and your friends.
And the next day, I was so nervous about it because I got yelled at all night.
I was like, who the fuck yells during a fucking vacation on a fucking island
with a private, it just didn't make sense where the beef was coming from.
So next day, I'm by the pool, granted.
And Dave was there, right? since where the beef was coming from. So next day I'm about to pull, granted. And
Dave was there, right?
And I didn't know, you know how you
know you did something, but you gotta
hear what people are saying? Yeah.
So you don't know. After a wild night.
So I was like, I said,
I said,
yeah, Dave, word on the street is
somebody
might have had one too many.
He was like, yeah, nigga, you was fucked up.
But you was funny as shit and you had a good time.
Oh, that's all that matters.
And that's all that matters.
That was one experience with him that meant a lot to me.
Because it wasn't like people look at our lives and like,
oh, y'all turn up.
There's bitches everywhere.
There's always going to be around whatever
but for me that experience with him with this entire family me with my entire family yeah
the whole family structure thing for me was new and everybody was closer we was all there family
having a good time that was a a very memorable uh moment that i had with Dave that I'll never forget.
Yay.
Another moment is when Charlie Murphy passed.
Oh.
We went to the funeral.
And, you know, we're comedians first and foremost.
And people look at us.
It don't matter.
A situation can be tragic.
They look at us funny, and then they look sad.
But they always look at us for comedy.
Like, even when we went to Charlie Mercer's funeral,
it was funny because me and Dave were sitting beside each other,
and he looked at me.
He was like, I ain't used to this.
What do we do?
Yeah.
It must be awkward. It was awkward because ain't used to this what do we do yeah it must be awkward it was
it was awkward because people expect you to be funny all the time yeah and it wasn't we weren't
neither one of us was trying to be funny and and he wasn't trying to be funny but he was like what
what do i do and i said whatever you do your day chaappelle and it's gonna be done the way
you do it yeah said she was there deal Hulie was there George Lopez was there
it was just so many people that was really close to Charlie and then me and
Dave went up there and of course like you see Dave you just want to laugh and
he said some things that made people feel good and laugh. But he said something.
He said, you're going to be in a good place.
Your father was a great man.
You're going to carry a lot of his ethics in his life with you. And he said,
your father changed my life forever.
Wow.
With one phrase,
I'm Rick James, bitch.
That part of that show, you know?
Yeah.
And it was like, the way he addressed it it was just so dope because we was we were all hurting you know but the only thing we wanted was just
to continue the good memories of Charlie and what he meant to us. Yeah. You know, I've never heard anybody say this phrase, more gangster than my father.
A real nigga.
And people are going to be like, what do you mean using that word?
You can't use that word.
And when I think about Charlie Murphy and I think about the relationship I had with him,
I can honestly say, and I don't care who criticized what I'm going to say,
whatever, that was my motherfucking nigga.
You know?
He was a good dude.
Like, they don't build people like that no more.
Integrity.
Hold you down.
If he love you, he love you.
If he don't fuck with you,
he don't fuck with you.
And he can flip on you
if he gets upset.
Has he ever been upset with you?
I'm going to tell you one time
when we've had like roasting sessions
and stuff like that.
We go back and forth.
But the only time that I really felt that Charlie was upsetting me to the point that he wanted to fight,
it was when we was doing, and I love that brother, man.
Still love him to this day.
R.I.P. again.
We were doing the lost episodes.
The lost episodes when Dave left.
And we didn't know.
Nobody heard from Dave.
We didn't know what next move was to do.
And we both.
You remember that?
Yeah.
And we were both looking at like, hey, what's our last opportunity to get as much out of this as we can?
It was out of no disrespect or anything.
And that Dave called us and said, this is my belief.
I don't believe in this.
I don't want to do this.
You guys don't do it.
I would have never done it.
Right.
But not knowing.
I was like this.
Okay.
What can we do to get the last thing you can get out of it so um
i was like this we ain't chapelle show yeah and i was like the hardest thing for us to do like
chapelle show and just see anybody but dave come on that curtain it was like
and i told him i was like i don't want to act like we're replacing or anything
and it was so funny because charlie was like, I didn't really want to do this.
This is tough.
And I was like, fuck that, nigga.
I need all the camera time I can get.
That was a joke of it.
But the part where the first time ever Charlie ever, I mean, like, he was mad at me.
Because Charlie wore glasses.
But he was trying to be sexy at the same time. This was, he was
trying to be sexy. He got his new teeth and all that
type of shit, right? He wore glasses
and he was trying to
read a teleprompter without his glasses.
Right?
And he was trying to read it and he was like this.
He was like this and he was trying to wing it,
right? And we kept on like
cut. We had to start over and shit. And he was like,
okay, okay. And I could tell he was feeling insecure about it.
And I had to do something to save the section.
I wanted to get a laugh because there wasn't nobody laughing for a long time.
That nigga's like a gangster, gusto.
Right.
You're like, oh, that nigga about to fucking beat somebody's ass.
Right?
So everybody was like uncomfortable.
Like, this nigga blonde is a motherfucker.
Right?
And I was like, I said, nigga, put your glasses on. And he was like this oh this blonde is a right and i was like i said put your glasses
on and he was like this right he still couldn't see right neil brennan could contest this yeah
he's like okay so we got to go to the next next scene or whatever we go behind the stage this
thing is mad he's me because i'm he thought I embarrassed him. Yeah. That nigga did like this. He said, nigga, if you ever disrespect me or like that again,
he said, I don't give a fuck about this show or nothing.
And I'm like this.
And I want to be like, nigga, I don't give a fuck about that either.
But I knew we'd have been fighting.
Right.
Right?
I knew it.
So I was just like, I walked away from it.
And Neil Brennan, white people don't understand.
They're like, are you guys OK?
Are you guys about to do a rap song they don't understand but like i chill i ain't saying who would have won
the fight whatever thinking no martial arts or no that type of but i knew that it was one
the time to address it and it was gonna be ugly because them cameras was right like that would
be funny as they was like this oh they got a real true hollywood story going on right now
but that like i had um i'll talk about that show forever yeah people try to make me feel bad about it people you know people that was the best show ever one of the best shows ever that was my that
was that was my teenage years i thought don't know. You always try to make me feel old.
Well, what I'm saying is like for me, people my age, that was all television.
That's all we cared about.
Like we would go to school and watch the Chappelle show period.
Like, you know, that show when it happened that we were getting kids suspended
because they was going to school.
Like what did the five figures in this face?
But yeah, I'm Rick James, bitch.
So we was doing, you know, and I know it is so weird because i hear people there and i'll say like this
yo i grew up with you like you right now you was like that's your child i'm like i still consider
you a child like a daughter to me but it's interesting as much as people want to be like oh
these are the haters you know is there anything else yeah whatever i mean is he all no it's just that as much as i want to like
put it behind me because of social media because of memes because of like
shit going viral it always pops up and all i do is have fucking pleasant memories yeah of that show. And people always like, well,
you guys need to do it again.
Nah. It wouldn't it would just. It wouldn't hit
the same. And like the thought of it
before Charlie passed away,
the thought of it was like,
that would be cool. Even if it was like,
say like a 20 year anniversary, which won't
be too far from now, that would be dope.
But the fact that Charlie wouldn't be there,
it would be some emptiness to it.
And for me, I was first introduced to Charlie through Chappelle's show.
I didn't know too much about him other than gusto or whatever.
I didn't know know like that but but what I felt was a
guy that had lived a life Eddie Murphy and A person that partied with Rick James.
Yeah.
Probably back there,
probably smashed.
Shit niggas would dream about.
Right.
Can you imagine that?
You're in the United States Navy
and you're a couple years
into being in the United States Navy and you're a couple years into being in the Navy
and your brother
is the biggest name in comedy
you know how you're trying to get
kicked out
you're like yo yo yo yo
shut the fuck up
I do what the fuck I want to do
can you imagine that
you being an older brother
being proud of him.
You know what I'm saying?
And then you come out of the military and you, his security.
You know what I'm saying?
You part of him.
Your brother going to find any job for you.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Being a part of that, at the same time, you still want to be an individual.
Yeah.
But you're Eddiedie murphy's brother
no way around it you never but the world and the respect about charlie you because families i've seen families get divided because i in the eye tripping off of that yeah you could
tell he never gave a about that and he always individual it's an individual swag you could
tell that like i've been around him and his family and you could tell being around him that
when they were growing up he was the funniest one you know i'm saying he was the funniest one and i
and i may be wrong but i get the feeling that eddie used to look at him like oh man uncle
oh maybe not uncle charlie but charlie he's funny as shit, but I'm the performer. Right. I'm the one that's one that,
I want to, Charlie, I'm going to take that shit.
Yeah.
You know, you imagine going from,
that's who you are,
but you know that you could do it.
Yeah.
But can you imagine,
you're an older person coming under the shadow
of your younger brother,
but you don't want to fuck the boat up.
You ain't going to do nothing crazy.
That's what I felt on that set was that he was waiting to really make his mark.
Right.
He was like, I got it.
I can write.
I'm going to make my mark.
And that's what he did.
He took advantage of it.
He was such a humble guy.
He's always got a gangster persona, but he was just surreal.
And all he wanted to do was contribute.
He was a writer.
He was a performer.
He was a motherfucker that cared about his friends, his family.
And I've said this before, but the dopest thing about the relationship
that Charlie Murphy,
for me, they had with the Chappelle show
when he passed away,
you didn't hear anybody say
Eddie Murphy's brother
passed away.
Charlie Murphy.
And in his death,
he had his name.
And he was, man, when I tell you about roasting sessions,
he had the chin of a Mexican fighter.
Mexicans get the shit beat up.
They would never quit.
They would never quit.
That dude would never, ever quit.
We had a roasting battle when we first, when we came back,
I don't know, season two or whatever, and me and Charlie was going at it.
Yeah.
And the thing about it was, I used to get under his skin, but he would not let you know
when he was killing him.
Wow.
He'll just be like this.
Straight face.
But then this one, you know, you got him when he laughed like this, when he said,
when he had me lean like that, it was just like, and then Rich Murphy was over there like this.
Oh, you cracked him.
But a positive, positive brother.
Dopest, dopest shit.
Charlie Murphy did some shit one time I would never do.
This nigga gave back money.
It was a show at Grambling University.
Yeah.
Right?
And this one, he was only doing comedy probably like eight or nine months.
But it was all, Charlie Murphy!
Charlie Murphy!
Charlie Murphy!
Charlie Murphy!
Charlie Murphy!
Getting money everywhere.
And he was at Grambling University.
And Charlie, he didn't work.
When he first started, he was already into mainstream.
That's what that audience
drew it wasn't no go hard no gangster spots he didn't do those spots that's not where he learned
in fact he learned he was a i don't know if anybody can imagine this being an open miker
that's selling out across the country oh wow so any mistake yeah oh i started him i i bullied him
into comedy thinking you you gangster but you won't touch that microphone
because after the show went away we still need to make money I was like let's do the I'm rich
bitch tour me Charlie Murphy Bill Burr I knew I had to get him on board and he wasn't great when
he first started but I don't know if anybody can imagine usually it takes a comedian probably like
three years to develop where they start getting their voice.
He had to figure that shit out quick.
Immediately.
Immediately.
Never bitch about it.
Everybody's like this.
You're not your brother.
You need to do this.
You do that.
He committed to his style.
He didn't wait for anybody.
He stayed true to who he was and made him one of the dopest storytellers to do it.
He wasn't searching for a punchline.
He was not searching, but he was just showing you
what his real voice was.
But with that said, you still got to get your chops up.
You don't have to, but being in them hood rooms,
they make you stronger.
Charlie never really did that.
He never really performed for an audience that didn't love him,
where he got the uninvited attention grandlin university he was on the show and it didn't work out it was on tmz or whatever
he got booed or whatever but i watched the tape and i know why he got booed because
you were at grandlin university you're in an auditorium nobody's sitting down they're standing
up it's like pep rally yeah environment like and you got a person just telling stories it's so easy to lose their attention right so the
environment is different than the environment is different it's like and i knew that i was like oh
that's not going to be a good look right this motherfucker was so gangster he said you know
what i'm gonna tell y'all about y'all motherfuckers? The motherfucker went
and got Rich to give him the check.
I think the check was for like 20 grand, right?
This nigga ripped
the check up.
This was before online banking.
This was before
taking pictures of that shit, nigger. That nigger
threw that check. I was like this.
In my mind, I was like, we're going to glue that shit together.
But he was a person that didn't compromise. I was like this in my mind, I was like, we gonna glue that shit together.
But he was a person that didn't compromise and he never compromised who he was and he
was a dope motherfucker.
And you can't say that about too many people.
Nobody is here to tell you, you know, Charlie Hart, you know, pull the shouts or whatever.
Basically, come here for a second. Bring that check over here.
Bring it, where's that check?
Yeah, it's a good check, it's a good check.
You must know what you're gonna do.
All right, this is you guys' money, right?
That y'all paid for Charlie Murphy to come see y'all, right? Y'all gonna have it
back tonight. Fuck you.
You know, and Charlie Murphy
was one of them. That's why when I go to different
places, people are like, do you ever get tired of
talking about that?
I never get tired of
talking about people that are
close to me and people I respect and love.
Those two guys, along with other people, but it's just something like we made history together yeah you know i'm
saying we created opportunities we paying for uh austin's private preschool through the
not the show but the platform is created for people to see what i do like when you first was on my jock it
was because oh here we go here we go no truth to that no truth to that donnell you tell this story
horribly horribly when we met there's not that one time you were not like nope you ain't never
punch a girl touch a girl like this that is i can introduce y'all. No, that was never the time. We end up working together on BET Ripped the Runway.
That's how we reconnected after the stand-up.
We worked together on BET Runway.
You remember that?
I remember that.
I have pictures.
You know why?
Why?
That's what's called being smitten.
Oh, whatever.
I know it's never been that, but I like to say it.
For my ego, I like to say it. You know I love you, though. I love you, too. I know it's never been that, but I like to say it. For my ego, I like to say it.
You know I love you, though. I love you, too.
I love your shirt. I love your hoodie, actually.
Why?
Because it represents... Why you... That's the first
thing you saw?
It represents... No, it's a good
thing. I love... Yeah.
It's wilding out. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
People have been asking me for years, should be on wild and out you should be on wild i was like you see this shit this ain't wild now my nephew should be on wild
and out and i was never was excited about being on the show i never even tried to be on the show
and i knew back in the day it was a good platform. A lot of people came up off of that.
Avion Crockett
if I'm not mistaken.
Oh yeah.
Corey Holcomb.
It was a platform for him.
Spanky.
D-Ray Davis.
It was like
the hot show.
Everybody wants to be a
I never want to be a part of it
because I don't really like
the roast
because I take it
I'm too sensitive.
I try to start a fight.
And I will.
I didn't think you were sensitive.
I know you go hard, but I don't think you would like.
I mean, I just don't like the roasted shit.
I fucking fought because of fucking not being able to take a joke.
Somebody told me today, how you a comedian you can't take a joke?
I'm like, that's just it.
Austin wants to do comedy.
He wants to do it.
And I'm excited about Austin possibly doing it.
But I'm not because that nigga can't take a joke.
Like, when you pick a joke, he don't like nobody make fun of him.
I'm like, oh, you need to quit.
The same way I told you you need to quit when you first tried it.
If you can't take a joke, you need to quit.
But I never pursued Wild N' Out.
I knew it was one of those things that could be like, oh, the millennials like you or whatever.
Never pursued it.
And this last year, my agent, they was like,
oh, we got to offer you for Wild N' Out.
I was like, I ain't trying to fuck no Wild N' Out.
And they was like, but they're doing like an old school versus new school.
Oh, perfect.
That's what.
For you.
You so happy?
It was old school versus
new school, right? And I was like,
oh, I could do that. It'll be fun. It'll be
like a novelty or whatever.
And I was like, I'm excited about doing
it, but I'm going to tell you about these new
school motherfuckers. They don't give
a fuck about Chappelle's show.
Them niggas was coming
so hard at me.
And the worst thing about it, I can handle at me And the worst thing about it
I can handle that
But the worst thing about it was that
The audience is filled with like a lot of people
That's close to their age and everything
Right
Man they was hating on me
So I tell a joke
They was like this
The little young'un tell a joke
They was like this
But it was fun
Peter Gunz was on that show

She's dope.
But we got to the battle part.
And I'm not going to. She's dope. But we got to the battle part.
And I'm not going to spoil it or whatever.
But me and Jess kind of went at it.
Okay.
And the Youngers was killing us into that last battle.
And I brought the whole team back.
Good.
And I felt good about doing that show for a lot of reasons.
One reason, it was shot at the Tyler Perry Studios.
Oh, that's dope.
I heard it was incredible.
Oh, my God.
Tyler Perry.
It was Tyler Perry Studios.
So I was just, no matter what you think about Tyler Perry how you feel um when to drive through those gates and see this studio right and I know
like especially in the black community they always say they trying to disrespect black men trying to discard masculinity they're trying to
put black they always talk about yeah they always want black men to wear a dress
yeah and i looked around that studio i was like nigga a dress bought all of this shit that was off the heels of my deer sign me up and i was so
i ain't gonna i ain't on the dress shit but you know but it was like it was so dope to be a part
to see that i've never been there before um to see that and also know that it was a black studio
and it was black production and was a black studio and it was black production and was a black
creative a show it was just like blackness everywhere black excellent
black excellent and I'm a promoter of black excellence I'm a promoter of black
love I'm a promoter of black everything but I will say this I get little upset
when when people are just like it's just only black it's
only black what do you mean what i mean is that we're like some people that just just like
have no regard for white people no regard no regard for but is it it's okay to celebrate
black black no i'm not saying it's not okay to celebrate black. What I'm saying is that there are freedom fighters out there.
There are white people that were down with the civil rights movement
just as much as black people.
I'm not saying one outweighs the other,
but I do know that if it wasn't for freedom fighters
and a lot of white folks,
that I personally don't think the sit right movement went as far as
because somebody had to get the marching permits.
Niggas wasn't getting no marching permits back then.
Come on.
You understand something, yeah.
It's the truth.
And I'm not saying like, what I'm saying is like, I'm true to myself.
I'm true to being black, whatever.
But I know that back then until this day, there are people outside of your background, your color that contribute to your movement and the progression of it.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I celebrate black, but I don't shit on all white.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I was in love with a white chick.
So are you all lives matter or black lives matter?
Black lives matter or black lives matter um black lives matter yes and then all lives is directly right behind it okay i'm saying because that um
i as a black person have issues that a lot of people don't have you know i'm saying like
and i know that we've been suppressed i know that we've been through a lot of things.
I know Jewish people have been through a lot of things.
I understand that.
Black lives matter first because I'm black, but all lives matter right after that.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
I don't know if that makes sense.
I don't even know if that makes sense.
I don't know if that's anything to celebrate or anything, but that's just how I feel.
That's how you feel.
You know, and then when we really break it down,
we should break it down to the point of like this,
you got good people and bad people.
That can come in any color or race.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not one to just say, fuck all white people.
Right.
And I'm not one to say, I love all black people.
But black is priority first for me.
Okay.
And I have friends that share that same sentiment.
As much as people, Deja Pel, like Monique.
Remember the Monique stuff was going down?
And Monique was saying that she feels like she should get as much as Deja Pel
and Chris Rock and these guys or whatever.
And people play defense of that.
Yay, nay, whatever. And people play defense of that. Yay, nay, whatever.
And it's so funny.
I'm telling you the dopeness about my friend and his character
is that when it's going down and people are like this,
did you hear what Monique said?
And she was trying to diss you, whatever.
And Dave told me, he said, man, I root for her because she's black.
Example of how black lives matter first.
So back to the topic.
But then after that, he's like that.
Fuck it, she had to say that part.
But yeah, I mean, it's like, it's okay.
And it's good to, it's great.
And you should be proud to be black.
But at the same time, we got to realize that
there's a lot of people that contribute to equality with everybody.
I agree with you.
Can you tell us about the rest of the Tyler Perry experience?
The Tyler Perry experience was just dope.
Just going through there like, Smuffa got a fucking black White House.
A White House. Oh, yeah. just going through there like smuffin got a fucking black white house a white house oh yeah it was just for me to go through and this is fairly new at the time to see the sound stages
names like harry belafonte oprah winfrey and all these things i i just looked at that like
people talk shit about him but it made me feel this may be crazy i can i won't compare it but i'll just
give you an example so many years
we've black community always have an excuse about something yeah i don't believe excuses
you hear this you've heard this you I don't believe in excuses.
You hear this.
You've heard this.
You probably don't know this.
We ain't going to ever have no black surgeons.
We have black surgeons.
Right.
We ain't going to have no black astronauts.
We have black astronauts.
We ain't going to have no black fucking golf champs.
We have all that.
The last excuse niggas had was,
we ain't going to never have no black president.
And look at us. We got a black president.
So I use that as an example of no excuses.
And when Barack Obama was in office, I mean, all black people didn't love Barack Obama.
Yeah.
I've been in barbershops, but like this, man, this motherfucker said, man, what the fuck did Barack Obama do for the black community?
I said, he won, nigga.
Yo, he won.
Did you vote for him just because he black?
Yep.
Nigga, I ain't give a fuck if he's a good president.
I want him to be a black president.
So now we don't have no excuses for anything.
And what I'm saying, there's no comparison.
There's some
parallels with and I'm not quite in a
teleprompter Obama but when you when you see a person that started from where he
came from the chitlin circuit the person that was doing the the black praise mama
train girl that type of stuff you yeah the ones that were doing the black praise. Mama train girl.
That type of stuff.
It's almost like. Yeah.
The ones that were doing the plays.
It was almost like the Popeye's chick lady.
Girl.
You gonna love my two.
Let me hear this.
Child.
I know that's like.
Like they come from that.
From like people not understanding.
You writing your shit.
You living in your fucking car.
Yeah.
You going from city to city
to go from
that build your brand
when you got people shitting on you
when you like you proud to be a black
director a black actor
a black fucking millionaire possibly
a billionaire and then you got the likes of
like Spike Lee that's like shitting on you
all you trying to do is win
okay Spike I know you upset
but they don't want to see your movies and they do but they don't support it like that so
don't knock me as another black man you know what i'm saying you see that and i know tyler
prairie been in his car a lot like just watch them they that nigga. And to see him go from the same way you came from New York.
Yeah.
The same way I came from New York, trying to get something.
You don't know what the fuck is going to happen.
When you say he's moving to New York, I say I was moving to New York.
We didn't know what the fuck was going to be next.
Mm-mm.
You had a car from your cousin
with some old tires in the back seat.
Yeah.
But you kept a smile on your face.
We didn't know.
We didn't know what was going to happen,
but we knew what we was fucking going for.
Right.
So people should try to shit on Tyler Perry.
Fucking get that motherfucker his roses right now.
And that was the most impressive thing.
When I went through them gates,
I'm like,
this nigga was living in his fucking car.
He got no from everybody.
When Main Street didn't accept him,
do you know that nigga fight?
Main Street didn't fuck with him.
You know what?
And this is what a lot of people can't do.
He figured out how to make money off of black people.
Main Street don't fuck with y'all? Fuck that. My that my is going somewhere and they did yeah and they did they supported
him the people the black people supported tala perry and people could say why he doing so so
and he never turned his i don't get with nobody say he never turned his back on those
people that support him he always gave gave them the shit they like.
That's why he did Madea.

And now look what he's doing.
He's in everything. The motherfucker got his own studio.
Like they say that this is like his studio.
You can take five studios in California and put it in his one studio.
And I see a person.
I say this all the time,
this ain't even a funny shot,
they are no motherfucking excuses.
A good excuse and a bad excuse
is still a fucking excuse.
Everybody ain't built to be tough.

Yes, I am.
Because it's my job to make you motherfuckers laugh,
make you think,
and it's always on the Donnie O'Reilly Show.
A joke can be too soon,
but it can never be too soon for funny observation.

Mad with a grudge
Trying to disrespect my man
Who are you to judge?
He gives me inspiration
And makes me feel good
I think part of it's because
I know he represents the hood
Never bitch Never complain I think part of it is because I know he represents the hood.
Never bitch.
Never complain.
Sometimes outside.
In the rain.
Raindrops keep falling on his motherfucking head.
Be thankful for every day, every breath because nigga, you could
be dead.
Ask Fred.
The God.
He represented the streets.
But sometimes God
says

Some niggas think I'm crazy
