Because everybody's funny in your family.
Christmas was a lot more fun when I didn't have money and I received gifts.
When you didn't have money.
You had to give them out.
This nigga.
Santa Claus don't get Christmas.
Nigga, this was not fun.
Right.
At a point, I was just like, I really love that nigga like that.
I really got to buy Sean.
I don't know this nigga.
Oh, he's my ex-husband?
Oh, my God.
Stop.
Yeah.
No, but I was fortunate and blessed, man.
My brother Kenan and my mom, my mom always made sure we had a dope Christmas.
Oh, God bless.
And we laughed a lot.
And Kenan always made sure we had a dope Christmas.
And Damon, you know, they got us Atari.
And me and Sean was just blessed to have dope-ass big brothers and sisters that cared and loved us, you know?
Now, let me ask you a question about Sean that I always wanted to ask.
Is he really a DJ or was that just for a living?
He wasn't a DJ.
I saw him and it's a real DJ.
Yeah, I always wanted to ask this question.
No, as a DJ, I was like, come on, man.
No, I'm going to tell you something.
Back in the day, he was...
Hold on, hold on.
Come on, everybody. What the fuck you got doing?
Let's get ready, DJ.
Back in the day, Sean was like the Milli Vanilli of DJs.
Oh, shit.
It wasn't connected.
It wasn't connected.
Yeah, it wasn't connected.
He was lip syncing DJ movies.
But now, Sean, my, Sean is a DJ.
Oh, that's wild.
He does parties all over the place.

I want SW1 to be like the new Asian dude that jump up and down.

Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? So, Living Color was like the black version of Saturday Night Live, right?
Why do you think Living Color never had, like, spin-offs like Anchorman and, like, Ladies' Man?
I think everything they did was a spin-off.
I mean, there's a lot of things after that.
Why do you think actual movies didn't come from that? I think Living Color was such a big thing.
And when it happened, it was so big that I don't think everybody knew the behemoth that it was.
I think it was just like this big explosion.
We were like, yo!
We had no idea.
You know, you got to understand, Saturday Night Live has been around for 20-some-odd, 25, 30 years.
So they've got to really look at the business of what Saturday Night Live was.
When Living Color happened, you know, it was just a bunch of
young, dope niggas and nobody
knew, like, nobody knew it was going to
be the brand that it was. I mean,
in hindsight, I wish In Living Color was still on.
And In Living Color was only on four or five
seasons because of the business that
transpired, you know, where
Saturday Night Live, NBC takes
care of
the loss.
How about the reboot?
And make sure that...
When the reboot was at a reboot.
The reboot, you need the right support system to do a reboot.
And Limit Color was such a dope show.
Yeah, you don't want to fuck that up.
Yeah, and you've got to get more writers.
And they had, like, Kenan's got a great eye for talent.
Like, on the Limit Color reboot, he had hot talent. Like, talent like on on the look of a reboot he had high talent and like little rel was on the get out
little Damon and Cindy Castillo once again I we got a he knows who's dope and
I'm high you know actually got some taping of the original living color I
got a lot I'm so I'm I don't even know where we just filmed it at.
Was it?
It was in L.A.
No, it was in L.A.
It was in L.A.
Can you open the window?
Open it up.
Come on.
I'm hot.
Open it up.
We don't got windows, but we don't got windows.
We don't got windows.
My heart is beating.
You're a legend, man.
You're a legend.
He's wild.
Nah, they take the lead.
Even the little boy.
I'm being serious.
They haven't even started yet.
They haven't started yet?
Oh my God, he's laughing.
The little boy's an athlete.
You don't smoke it in front of your own son?
Your daddy smoking it in front of you?
He 18, he 18.
You be at school by the year, my nigga, my daddy gave it.
Yo, throw that glory on, my nigga.
Throw that on.
Oh, that Puerto Rican noise.
You know Puerto Rican noise.
You know Puerto Rican after you hear that.
Do you feel Damon Wayans is underrated?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah?
Absolutely.
I feel like Damon Wayans, and I'm his brother, so I'm not the one to answer this question.
Nah, fuck that.
You can talk it for your brother. I'm not the one to answer this question because everybody be like, oh, nigga,
you just saying that because he's your brother.
Damon Wayans is, to me, top three ever.
To me, you got Richard, Eddie, and Damon.
Oh, I thought you were going to say Red Fox.
Aren't you named after Red Fox?
Isn't he your middle name?
No, nigga.
Oh, no, Lamar.
Lamar.
Lamar.
My middle name is Lamar.
My first name is Marlon.
That's Lamar.
That's Red Fox's son.
Yes, Lamar.
Yeah, Lamar and Jackson.
You were named after Red Fox.
That was crazy.
But that was high nigga mentality.
You said Red Fox.
You named after Red Fox?
Yeah.
I thought you were going to be Lamar.
But no, so was the after.
All this show about niggas. I said Jason. You know what I'm saying? leave a box. There's no selling the bathroom. All this show about niggas.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, shit.

Like, let's get out.
Yeah, like, let's get out.
Yo, come get me.
Come get me.
So before I move on, I do.
Damon is severely underrated because when I look at comedy, I look and when I judge,
and listen, there's other great greats there's great things about everybody
you know everybody but Damon to me is a guy that can do characters he can tell the joke he can show
you the joke he talked about his pain and be a part of the joke he talked about his pain and
made that funny he talked about his truth he talked about his life and then he did things that was innovative when he twisted up his arm to play his physical
comedy I've never seen nobody do that I've never seen nobody do that I've
never seen somebody say what if I commit suicide and I live and my feet was
attached to my body like the images that this man would create to me as a little, even as a little boy, as a man, and as an artist, I go, Damon Wayans is that dude.
And I'm just blessed to have been raised in a house with a legend like him and a legend like Kenan.
Goddamn, make some noise for that.
What is the age gap between y'all?
Can you get some fucking air condition
that is little no

gap between y'all the older brothers
my brother
Keenan I think

This is about
14, 15 year age
Difference between me and Kenan
13 years

Oh, you got me thinking.
So let me ask you a question.
You've been asking me a bunch of questions.
I don't got answers.
Because I'm high as fuck.
Do you ever look at, you know, passing of Tupac, and you actually played in the film and you actually killed Tupac
Well the room you talk to him like you ever does it ever get spooky for you where you sit back and say damn

We can't keep it too open.
You see the movie, Verb Box?
After Blood.
After Blood.
Oh.
First off, I think we should shout out.
We'll go get back to the Supak question.
We can shout out.
You had the improv tonight.
Yeah.
Right, Jharrel.
Jharrel.
Improv.
I'm gonna say it wrong all day.
Jharrel.
Jharrel.
I'm gonna do it.
Darryl. Darryl. Jhar a Darryl Scrooge. I'm a Darryl Scrooge.
Darryl, Darryl.
Improvising up in Miami.
You here tonight, tomorrow, and on Monday, right?
One show tonight, Friday, two shows on Saturday, one show Sunday, and then New Year's Eve,
which is Monday.
I got two shows, so bring in the New Year's with me.
Brand new set.
Nothing you've seen in Wilkish.
That's funny for me
because when I look
at a comedian,
that's what I certainly
go for,
is to make sure
they don't repeat material.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like sometimes
when I go see Jay for a show
or I go see Kanye
or something,
every show I want
something different.
So that's what you're saying,
like every time
it's not repeated material?
No, it's not repeated material.
Oh, every show.
Here's the thing,
rap, y'all can do that.
People don't want to hear it. No, we'all can do that people people don't wanna hear
no we can do the same song
but don't lay it out
the same way
yeah
but y'all can do that
music
I can't
and the audience
will sing along
I can't do that
in the fucking
stand up nigga
niggas is like
nah that's the
we heard the old shit
where the new shit at
if somebody come to my show
I make my
opener
ask how many people
seen me perform live before.
So then I can guesstimate
about how many people have seen the new set.
So if there's jokes that I have in my arsenal,
I go, I'm not going to do that.
I'm just going to show them all new
because 65 people in the crowd
just clapped that they've seen me before so I gotta come at this brand new and
unless I'm working for a special but I never like to repeat the same material
like I like to go out there and give a fresh show and if I do it in special I
ain't doing that shit again it's dead it's dead to me dead to me now I could
do a character And reboot a character
Like you know
And put the character
In a different situation
But I'm not trying to
Repeat a joke
You had a Netflix special
In the
Smackdown in the middle
Of like
Monique controversy
Where Monique is saying that
But you know
And then you had a
You had a Netflix special
And he was very quiet about
What they
I was going to get that money
All that black pride and style.
I feel you, sister.
Did you say black pride and style?
Yeah.
Oh, I never heard of that.
Black pride and style.
I was going to get that money.
I'm on diabetes.
I got bills to pay.
Her sugar...
We need the sugar checkers.
Come on, sugar checkers is expensive.
I was going to get that money. I was going to get that money. I don't get that.
I don't get that money.
I don't even talk about it.
It was mighty good to me.
It was in the middle of all that.
But, you know, my feeling on that whole situation is like, you know, in the audit negotiation,
everybody always feels that their value is
X.
Or your
worth is X. But it's not
about worth. They're going to play you your value.
And your value is what
they deem the price they
feel comfortable paying you.
No matter what, worldwide, they want numbers
and they go, this is what we're
going to pay you.
That's why Netflix don't give you numbers because they don't want you to feel.
Well, I think it's part of their matrix.
Netflix, they'll give you certain hints about where regions you're doing well and things like that.
But in the art of negotiation, there always comes a time where you have to say yes or no.
And if you say no, then walk and you ain't the negotiations over so you gonna on press tours and all that I
don't think it's helpful you know but at the same time you know I love Monique I
think Monique is severely underrated she's kicking ass in Vegas right now
really underrated comedian the girl is she's a very funny lady.
Yes, she is.
But at the end of the day, you know, what they're going to pay you is what they're going to pay you.
No matter what you try to do, they're still going to be like, yeah, I heard all that, but we're going to pay you this.
So for me, you know, in that negotiation, I was like, you know, we got to a number and I was like whether or not I like the number is not important
What's important is that I go ahead and do this and I show the world that I do stand-up and go to AC now
I don't feel it's coming
The words on your wide open the game, okay the words on your phone. The wide open the game. Okay. The words on your phone. I got notes.
I'm like, what's that movie I just saw?
It took me, Harrison, Kevin Hart.
Night School.

The words on your phone.
I'm dyslexic.
So it does come out like, I'm dyslexic.
I'm like, so your favorite movie is The British.

Yeah, I have to.
Because I'm dyslexic.
You just hit it.

in which we experience the region today.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened
when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests
trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to
bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll
ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple

Bridges.
Bridges of Madison.
Bridges?
Bridges of Madison County.
I thought you said midges of Madison County.
Bridges of Madison County.
Go on.
Y'all ain't got the air conditioning.
This is a trip.
He's like, get out.
He's got me in the lung.
Emma Rose wasn't even in the time.
He's so high, he can't talk no more.
Who said that?
Okay, Brisbane, Madison County.
Here's why.
Because Brisbane, Madison County was a movie about a woman who was Meryl Streep.
And her husband, okay, her husband goes on a road trip.
She has two kids. And when he's gone, this photographer comes in town
and winds up smashing.
To smother Reeds.
Wait, wait, wait.
To smother Reeds.
He beats it out.
The way the husband can't, because he's the husband.
So they wind up falling in love in three or four days.
And then what happens is, her husband comes back with the kids.
And she's like, should I leave or should I go?
Now, this happened.
But what happened was the children found her diary and her book.
And in the book, it tells about this love story that mom cheated on dad.
And meanwhile, they're going through stuff in their life and the whole thing is kind of like a lesson about life which is love and lust and choices
that you make and it's there is no wrong choices in life and there's no wrong experiences because
that experience that she had with that dude for those three days getting all slobbered out. It was right for her at that moment.
Getting wiped all over
that kitchen sink.
Gave her the tenacity
and the love
to stay with her children
for the rest of their lives.
So for me,
it was a beautiful book.
It's a great book,
but it's a beautiful movie
and she watched it.
Is this an awe moment
in Drink Caps?
One, two, three.
Awe.
Awe.
Why the fuck
you put the Puerto Rican thing
on the bottom of it? Why you put it in Puerto Rico?
Why you gotta be Puerto Rican?
Who got this?
All right.
The Cuban got it!
Oh, this nigga.
That shit's so loud, it come like a.
You see how I keep going around the world?
So what's interesting is when you Google you and you say your top three rappers, it's Jay-Z,
Nas, and Biggie.
That means-
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you, girl. I'm doing it for you. So what's interesting is when you Google you, and you say your top three rappers,
it's Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie.
That means, if that's you.
I love you, too.
No, no, no.
I feel like that.
Don't get emotional.
Watch out, watch out.
Don't get emotional.
Let's go.
No, but hear me out.
Hear me out.
I liked it in your album.
No, no, no.
I still got to see it here.
Hear me out, but most comedians, you know,
they don't have that traditional list.
Like, I could tell you really listen to hip-hop.
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
Like, so many people would just say Tupac.
It was Nas, Biggie, and Jay, I believe.
But so many people would say Tupac just because Tupac is dead.
Tupac is great.
Tupac is great.
He's great.
I got to give it up for Pac because of his diversity.
I got to give it up for, you know, Dear Mama make me cry.
I heard that song. I call my mama. Nigga, and she talk a lot. I gotta give it up for you know dear mama make me make a nigga cry
She talked a lot you knew pop was big like that when you worked with him on above the rim I knew he was special. Hmm. I knew that how about Bernie? I know he was special
He did you think you know, he's a king comedy, huh?
Did you know he was a king of comedy when you met because remember he's playing now
Yeah, well, he wasn't a king of comedy back when we was doing that movie What did you see the king of comedy? Absolutely? Okay anybody I ever put in a movie or anybody
Don't be a man I forgot about that. That's a classic. You know what?
You know what's so fucked up?
Bernie was my friend, and we put him in waves, brother.
Let me tell you what's so fucked up about how I look at you.
We put him in waves, brother.
Shut up, bitch.
To show him we was on waves.
Bernie was a friend.
It's not that I'm trying to say I put Bernie on.
I'm trying to say that I've seen something special in Bernie.
If I ever put anybody in anything,
it's because I see something special.
And I'm not I, meaning me and my brothers.
Because y'all come together in the black Illuminati.
Y'all come together.
You come together.
Illuminati?
Illuminati?
Illuminati's got real money.
I think about it.
I want to meet the Illuminati man.
I want that.
I want a jet.
I want a jet. Like, a jet. Nigga, can I get down? How much soul do you need? You need all?
I don't know. I've been looking into it. I'm not sure.
You ain't looking into it.
Nah, I'm buggin' around. But here's the thing. If we see it in you, we gonna put you in some...
Me and Tiffany was having a conversation
Tiffany had me at his right he'd be flossing away
How come you never put me in something earlier and I was like, oh she trying to say you bad wagon in now
And I've always thought
Tiffany was super talented and never once that's why I put her in Funny as Wind,
which was a comedy show that I had for TBS because I'd seen something in her.
And I was like, yo, if you do X, Y, and Z,
you could take it to the next level.
And sometimes, just because you're funny,
it don't mean you're ready for opportunity
because sometimes it's about the not being funny
that you need to do for this specific role
That girl has always been brilliant Sydney Castillo
Brilliant dude, so how did you feel about cat Williams when cat Williams made that he actually on it?
He not only Tiffany he went at a Kevin Hart as well, and I don't like beef and company
It works for rap. It's anti-comedy. It works for rap.
It's anti-comedy.
If somebody come in here and shoot us all, nigga, your old album is gone.
It's gonna be LRG.
Can I get another one of these?
You sure you don't want your hundred dollar wine?
You're trying to kill me. Yeah.
AC's fixed, he said.
Puerto Rican.
He just fixed it.
He just fixed it.
He just fixed it.
Oh my god.
You want some of your $100, um, you should make some shit.
You ain't got a wine opener.
Yeah, we got an opener, right?
Oh yeah, we got an opener.
You want me to open it?
Come here, Julio.
BAM!
No, no, no.
Open it in front of him.
I don't want him to think, who got Wendy's out this motherfucker?
What are you doing?
Oh, thank god.
Okay. All right, so. I don't want him to think, who got Wendy's out this motherfucker?
Thank God.
All right, so, damn.
Go ahead.
So, super talented, right?
When it comes to putting people in things, and me and my brothers for years always try to put people in things
that we think at that time they're ready for that opportunity if you give
somebody an opportunity before they're ready what you do is they blow the
opportunity and now they have to start from scratch again and now you once you
fail you got to go all the way back to the back of the line instead of getting
there getting there getting there I see you I see you got to go all the way back to the back of the line. Instead of getting there, getting there, getting there.
I see you.
I see you.
I see you.
See the progression.
Go.
Now, you're anointed.
And as long as you're a part of that journey, and you do it with a good heart and good intentions,
I think you're good.
I'm not a hater.
I don't sit there and go, I ain't putting that nigga in there.
If he blow up, if he blow up, then he going to take life from me.
No, nigga.
Every movie I do. If y'all came in Haunted House.
If you don't crock it?
Take the ball, my nigga.
Right.
Bow.
Nigga, said you came in Haunted House?
Bow.
Nigga, I'll be on the other side.
Yo, yo, try this right there.
Like, we write in the art of comedy.
It's like a basketball game.
You ditch the ball to each other.
You stop trying to create fights between friends.
I honestly don't think Cat Williams was hating.
I just think Cat Williams was voicing his opinion.
And nowadays, is that hating voicing your opinion? Can we have
an opinion? Can you go to a movie
not enjoy it, but not ditch it?
Cat is...
That's a good one.
Cat is a brilliant comedian.
Yes.
And you know, sometimes what he says,
people can misinterpret.
But we all know Cat.
So we know what he's trying to say,
and so we don't get offended by it.
You know, sometimes Cat's just Cat.
You just gotta let Cat be Cat.
Because he's different, don't make him bad. He's just cat you just gotta let cat be cat because he's different
don't make him bad
he's just cat
so I don't think it's hate
and you know
look
me and Mike Epps
we talk all
we talk sometimes
you know
he be like yo
Marlon blah blah blah
Mike was in a movie with me
like there's no
I don't work in hate
I work in love
and I ain't got no
I grew up in a fraternity
which is my brothers
and so for me
comedy is a fraternity so I look at everyone that's what I'm looking up in a fraternity, which is my brothers. And so for me, comedy is a fraternity.
So I look at every one of my comedian friends, y'all my brothers.
I don't want to hate on you.
I don't need you for nothing.
I've been eating for 25 years.
But have you ever been through something like that where you felt like somebody was hating on you or felt like there was a misunderstanding?
Because, you know, I don't want to just point comedy as if it's a perfect world.
You're so high, you can't talk no more.
No, no, no.
Because you know what? like comedy as if it's a perfect world. You're so high, you can't talk no more. I said no. No, no, no. I said no.
Because you know what?
Because the thing is, in hip hop, we have these disputes.
I just want to smoke nine blunts and have a conversation.
That's right.
Because if I smoke nine blunts, I'll be like this.
Because in hip hop, we have disputes and quarrels
and all that.
But in comedy, one thing I'll tell you,
I'll tell you some funny shit.
I was actually jealous of comedians one time, right?
And I'll tell you
why I was jealous of you,
you motherfuckers.
One time,
Mike Epps,
Mike Epps,
Mike Epps
invites me to a show
after he does Drink Champs.
He had a ball.
That same day?
This was like the next day
or something like that.
Oh, maybe that week.
So I go there,
they went to a pack house, I'm talking about a fool everything and there was not one incident that happened but I want
somebody got stabbed I was the fire, don't blame the Latinos, man. That's very, very true.
I like to stab him, motherfucker.
Tell me, Cucarão, be stabbing him.
Tell me, Cucarão, stab him.
What's his name?
Cucarão.
What's his name?
Papote.
Papote.
Papote, be stabbing the shit out of the people.
Papote just stabbed somebody who came here, you bitch.
He gave a knife, throw an egg, and bite with the wheel.
But is there a perfect scene in comedy comedy or you guys are regular humans?
What do you mean?
Meaning, like, you know, because, like, you know, in hip-hop, it's not that we have beef.
It's just that it's emphasized because people are strong.
So, like, you know what I'm saying?
There be beef in comedy.
I'm just not a dude that's going to be a part of beef.
Either we going to fight or we ain't.
But what I'm not going to do is sit there and be like no yeah I'm not gonna talk over airwaves either we fight or no we ain't
if not then let's let's not play this let's just be cool and call it a day but
I got nothing but love for everybody in comedy everybody I don't like when other
people talk bad about anybody you know I defend Kev all the time.
People want to talk.
It's hard.
And I tell Kevin.
It's hard.
It's heavy.
Heavy as a crown.
Heavy as a crown.
Heavy as the head that wears a crown.
Heavy as the head.
Heavy as the head that wears a crown.

That guy ain't sweating years.
He smoked his kidney from the...
Let me tell you something.
I'm going to tell you a funny story why I don't fuck with comedians no more.
One night I'm in club.
Problem was I'm not even in the club.
I don't know why I was in the club.
Charlie, they locked me in a room.
No windows.
And they're smoking lots of weed.
They're all dying.
Help me. Get out all dying. Help me.
Get out, nigga.
Get out.
Let me tell you something.
Let me just tell you something.
I'm in Brian 1, 12 one day,
and Marlon walks up.
He with a couple of his homies.
He had on a trench coat.
Can I have a beer?
Yes, please.
You can have another beer.
You can have some more red wine.
Put his cock in there
so he can take it with him, too.
Can you bring two of these?
There should be two more
on the same jacket.
So let me just tell you.
So I seen them, and he had like a trench coat on. It was a cold night in Miami. I'm hanging out with him too. Can you bring two of these? There should be two more on the same jacket. So let me just tell you, right?
So I seen them and he had like a trench coat on.
It was a cold night in Miami.
And I said something about his pants.
I said, yo, why you got those pants on?
He looked at me and I had like 12 chains on.
And he said, well, that's like me telling you you got on all these chains.
But then I looked and he came up with 15,000 jokes about me in that very minute.
And I said, you know what, you ever looked at a nigga
and you could see him thinking about
what he's saying about you?
And I said, I don't know.
It's like a battle rap.
It's like a battle rap.
And I looked at this nigga, I said, yo, I'm sorry, my man.
I don't even remember.
I pulled him to the side.
I was like, yo.
Because I see him just looking at me.
Why you giving me a bad American, baby?
You want a bad American?

Let me open that joint for you.
That's just the way it works.
Let me open the Haiti.

Oh, that's hilarious, man.
That's hilarious.
So, damn, I don't know where to go.
Okay.
Shit, stop.
No, no, no.
But is that how comedians is?
When you see something, you could just really,
like, a lot of people, like, you can't be,
you can't be taught funny.
Oh, can you?
Is it something automatic?
We take it in the environment.
Okay.
All right, nigga, you want a bet?
Nigga, like Terminator.
You walk in the room, it's like, oh,
and it just happens real quick.
And people go, where do you get that from?
God damn, my phone is high
It's it's not taught I would say inspiration comes from God
When I say something funny is a guy goes
Yo nigga say this, and then he's mouth, he open his,
he like a pirate, nigga.
Like, it just happens.
It's not like, when it's forced,
people be like, ah, that's forced.
But I don't need to force, my nigga,
I just choose to go all the way there.
But how about like hecklers, when you on stage?
They don't wanna do this.
They don't wanna.
Nigga, go home.
First of all, I got the mic. And nigga, everything you say sounds like But how about like hecklers when you on stage? They don't want to do this. They don't want to? Nigga, go home.
First of all, I got the mic.
And nigga, everything you say sounds like...

I'm going to look at your life, nigga.
And what some shoes look like.
Yo, put the light on them shoes.
He can't put the light on me.
I already got the light on me.
I'll throw out everything funny about me.
Now, because I disarmed you, what do you got, nigga?
I'm going to get into your pain.
I'm going to talk about your daddy issues nigga
We and that's why I say don't fuck with a comedian
But yeah, I learned that because we will try to if we have to kill your whole city
See there's a terrorist in this city. I'm blowing the whole city. I gotta get him. He's in that bunk over there
I know there's gonna be casualties, but that nigga he's gotta go
Have a bomb Like one night
And just
Nothing worked for you
Sure
But I did that
I like to do that
You like to bomb
Oh it's funny
You talking about
On the come up
On the come up
You can't do that
Nah
I like to bomb
Nah
I can't
Why
Cause you learn from it
I don't understand what you're saying
I like to bomb Here Nah, I can't. Why? Because you learn from it? I don't understand what you're saying. I like to bomb.
Here's why.
Bang, bang.
Because I'm growing.
I'm not there.
If I go to a show and I'm there and I'm not getting paid.
There's one thing when I'm doing a show.
Y'all come and see me.
Y'all paying $45, $50 a ticket.
I'm going to give you a show.
Right.
If I'm going out to like Ha Ha Comedy Cafe, Laugh Factory,
Comedy Center.
So you're testing material.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
I'm going up there
to grow in some way.
Right.
Allowing me to use the stage
for my progression in comedy.
So it's not about,
oh,
if jokes don't work,
that's all right.
Not everything you think
is funny or great, it's just not going to happen.
It's part of the process.
Not every rhyme you write is going to be hot.
But when you say that one and you see the Puerto Rican, they go, what?
I hate that.
I hate that.
I'm a Cuban, man.
We got a Puerto Rican horn.
But you know when you said something hot.
So it's the same thing in, damn, you gave money back? Wow, you making money. You know when you said something hot.
So it's the same thing in... Damn, you gave money back?
Wow, you making money.
You want a tip?
This is a trick.
Damn, Mr. Lee, you got side deals?
No, I'm looking ahead.
He's going to be like,
damn, I thought a nigga
would give me $100 for that.
So you got to try stuff out.
You can't be afraid To fail
Bombing is part of comedy
And I feel bad
For the new guys
That come out
And they bomb
And they get backstage
And you see suicidal
Thoughts going through
Their heads
Nigga I could
If this roof was like
This building was
Two stories high
I'd jump on that shit
They hurt
But when you
When you a G in the game,
just go,
nigga, I'm just trying shit.
I'm going to see how it goes.
And sometimes for me,
a bomb is the best thing I did
because I made them quiet.
Because I got to express
what the fuck I wanted to express
without your judgment.
See, nowadays,
everybody want to judge you
for your thoughts.
I got to go to dark places.
My job is to go in these dark tunnels
that everybody fucking scared to go in these dark tunnels that everybody's
fucking scared to go in and go get these
fucking jokes. So
excuse me if I offend some motherfuckers
on the way there, but I'm gonna go in here and get these
jokes. It's like free psychiatry
for you. Yeah. And
for everybody else. I'm going to heal.
I'm going up there for just my healing.
I'm going there for all
you niggas healing.
Because all y'all been through this shit.
And I don't give a fuck what the joke is.
You got to be able to go down there.
You got to be able to hear silence.
You got to be able to offend motherfuckers. Got to be awkward.
In order to get truth.
Yeah.
Because that's somewhere between awkward and entertaining is hilarious.
Is it harder to be a comedian now because of everybody
being so sensitive, everybody being like, right now,
give you a fake example.
I'll give you an example.
21 Savage.
I'll be right now.
I probably ruined my career.
Oh, shit.
That's OK.

Give me a coke.
Give me a coke.
Give me a coke.
Give me a coke. Give me a coke. Give me a coke. Give me a coke. Give spilled this beer. Talking about, um, giving an example of how...
Jokes.
We're talking about between...
21st Avenue.
21st Avenue.
Yeah, it's hot, niggas.
Oh, I got it, I got it, I got it.
Try and remember what the fuck they were saying before.
And this hot motherfucker's gonna make you say, yo, nigga, you know your job, your job
is to remember this shit.
Coqui, Coqui, your job is to remember shit. Go key, go key. Your job is to remember shit.
Go key, go key.
Blackie, go negrito.
Your job is to remember shit.
You a whole bunch, you remember shit.
You just be high and maybe you be high.
You just be high and maybe you be high.
Right now, 21 Savage dropped an album.
In his album, one line he said,
I want to have Jewish money, right?
He made no disrespect to the Jewish community. said, I want to have Jewish money, right?
Yeah.
He made no disrespect to the Jewish community.
What he's trying to say is, you know,
Jewish people in the neighborhood always have money, right?
Yeah.
So if we could offend people and rap with those type of lines,
what is comedy?
Like, what is the future of comedy?
Listen, people don't get offended by that.
In comedy?
People ain't seeing what's happening.
There's outside forces that are intervening and coming at us and attacking us on social media.
And these are bots.
And these bots are created from other countries that's trying to take and bring down everybody and anybody that's successful
right now.
They're trying to bring it down.
They're trying to create these wars.
They're trying to make us ultra-sensitive.
They're trying to create and disrupt us
and create an unharmonious society.
And these stupid motherfucking people
start feeding into this.
And the press picks this bullshit up
and the press
puts this out
and they feed it back in
and what's happening is
you're killing the core
and the fiber of America.
Woo!
And people don't even
understand
that we're being
we're being puppeted.
You stupid motherfuckers.
And I'm not even
this is a high thought.
It sounds real.
No, that shit's real.
We understand what you're saying. I'm woke. It nigga this high thought it sounds
It goes to the heart of what's going on even with the presidential shit right now that towel that's in the front seat
You need a special time. Oh, dude
You woke up as a stay woke
No, but understand we're being
Manipulated invaded but understand that we're being manipulated. Embedded. Embedded.
And what people are doing is feeding into this.
There's a bigger agenda that I may die
after saying this shit.
And it's not because I'm saying it here.
In a little, I don't know, where the fuck we at?
Where the fuck is this?
I don't need this.
Alright, so what I'm saying is
comedians can still do what they do.
They should.
You can still not give a fuck.
But what happens is sometimes when you don't give a fuck,
you do a joke and now the corporations
is like, yo, we can't message you
because that joke you did.
Whereas before, you used to only fuck with me because
yes, because of the jokes I did.
I don't think Kevin Hart should have stepped down.
You think if he did...
What was it, in your
opinion, that they wanted an actual apology
for something that he did? What was it that he did again?
I think he said something in the past.
Some gay joke. Everything that was from the
past, mind you, was just fucked up.
Which is 10-12 years ago
Like the Chris Rock shit
He apologized for it
Before he made his first million dollars
He gotta make some noise
So he's gonna say
Some outlandish shit
I personally don't think
Comedians need to apologize
For jokes
Not even the Chris Rock thing
That happened
I don't think comedians
Need to apologize for jokes
I just saw that shit recently
With the Louis C.K. thing I ain't think comedians need to I mean I just saw that shit recently with the whole thing I know I saw that lie I'm not gonna look
that way here's why yeah we all grew up in the neighborhood I'm sitting with a
bunch of especially poor people right nobody here we're going to fluency you
white guy who says nigga yeah right we all grow up in the projects and these
penitentiaries and shit and you always got those
white boys that you hang with that
show niggas. And you go,
yo, I talk about my special.
You get that nigga a nigga pass because y'all
are that fucking cool. I know you ain't saying
nigga at me with the E-R.
I know you ain't saying nigga in a
disrespectful way. See, it's not about a word.
It's about the connotation of the word.
What do you mean by what you're saying my nigga you could say hi, right?
And I'll be like what you mean by how I could be like yeah
It's what you say behind the word I'll be caught up in words
And I think as a society what we have to all do is get less sensitive my nigga
Nobody trying to hurt nobody this is love what we have to all do is get less sensitive, my nigga.
Nobody trying to hurt nobody.
This is love.
And we have to read between the lines of what's happening. Especially comedians.
Comedians was that one place where that passed.
It was universal state.
There was no political correctness.
You just let it ride.
I'm not politically correct.
I probably will never fucking be.
Now, I don't like being locked in a cave with a weed smoking.
But why?
It's politically correctness freedom here.
But if I was politically correct, I'd be like,
I can't do that shit because there's smoking weed
in church windows.
No windows.
Now if I know there's windows, then I want a cave.
You're right, I need windows.
I need windows.
We do it like Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, don't do it. I'm only. I need windows. We do it like Las Vegas. Las Vegas, door to door.
I'm really on a bunker.
Like, this is Sakaab's house.
Well, you saved it.
You saved it.
You saved it.
Like, who's the nigga from Libya?
Gaddafi's gonna come out here.
And his boxers.
He's coming out in his boxers.
We go to the Vibes House Studios, House of Vibes.
Come on, goddamnit.
I'm sorry. I ain't gonna big this bullshit up. Y'all can do that if you want to.
Y'all can get perfectly correct.
I'm about to throw you some bullshit in there.
Give me some window.
At least that man is a good bomb shelter.
What happens when things like that, like for instance, Aziz, right?
What'd he do?
He gave a bitch head and she didn't like it.
Yeah, that was ridiculous, man.
She didn't like it and she filled it up with a bunch of shit.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it.
She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. For instance, Aziz, right? Yep. What'd he do?
He gave a bitch head.
Yeah, that was ridiculous, man.
And she didn't like it, and she cut down on me, too.
I feel like that's out loud.
Me, too, was like, nah, you on your own.
Me, too, didn't fuck with that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They almost did.
They almost did.
They looked at it. They didn't even get a case. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They almost did. They almost did. They looked at it.
It's a good case.
See what I'm saying?
I will say this.
I'm saying things.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That was funny.
You need a correction, right?
Men, we was out of control.
Absolutely.
We was out of control.
And it's okay.
I have a daughter.
I got, you know, women in my life I love.
You know, my sisters, my mom.
We had a good run.
Yeah.
And it's okay for them to start getting theirs.
A correction.
There's a correction happening.
And right now, it's getting there because they need to be valued.
Yeah.
But it's a correction.
And it's rightful.
And so I'm not mad about it.
But the things that annoy me sometimes is when it goes too far.
And that's when you're like, all right, now you're being sensitive.
There's a point where people stop taking your plight seriously when it goes too far.
But you think Bill was drugging bitches?
I don't think Bill was drugging bitches.
I don't know.
He ain't ever drug me.
Are you talking about Bill?
I'll tell you this much. drunken bitches? I don't think I'll be for real. That nigga didn't like me. Because you say nigga too much.
Yeah, you say nigga.
You don't like nigga?
Yeah.
But you know what?
You know what I feel?
Like with Cosby, right?
I feel like...
I don't care.
I still, he's still my hero.
In terms of comedically.
Right.
I don't have to like everything about you.
That's real.
But I'm not going to denounce
the thing about you that was great
because that makes me a fool.
Like African Bambada.
We love African Bambada.
Or OJ.
Or an OJ.
OJ's a better example.
I should have brought up African Bambada.
No, no.
Bambada too.
No, Bambada's a good example.
You said African Bambada.
Wait, he was talking about boys.
That's old.
I totally forgot about that. I thought that's whatataa. Wait, he was fucking little boys. That's a whole different thing. I totally forgot about that.
I thought that's what you meant.
Yeah, that's definitely what he said.
I thought you meant trying to get me killed, my nigga.
O.J., let's say O.J., let's say O.J.
But still, you have to respect any of them.
You have to respect what they did great.
Right. Because Cosby, if it wasn't for Cosby,
there'd be no probably Obama in office.
Cosby made black people in their living room.
Was it hostables?
Hostables, yeah.
I thought them niggas was real.
The Cosby show.
I was looking at Brooklyn for them niggas for 12 years.
I wouldn't rob them, too.
I didn't want to rob them. I was looking for Brooklyn for them niggas for 12 years. I wouldn't rob them, too. I didn't want to rob them.
I wouldn't.
But what I'm saying is, but at the same time, I don't condone him doing anything harmful
to women.
Because like I said, I got a mama.
I got daughters.
I got sisters.
It's just inhumane.
Isn't a part of you that said, come on.
And like I said, nigga, I wasn't there.
But if it's true, yeah, take your ass to jail.
I'm not going to sit if it's true, yeah, take your ass to jail. I'm not going to sit there
and be like,
yeah.
And you know that one,
there was always one juror
that was sitting there going,
yeah,
he might have did it,
but,
nigga,
remember that episode
he did
about Theo
with the shirt?
But,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,
but,

but,
but,
but,
but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, If you do those kind of heinous crimes, you should spend time in jail. And there's no excuse for that.
But to say that he wasn't a great comedian, it's not true.
But look at the difference between him and Harvey Weinstein, right?
I know we're all in Hollywood, and we're not trying to be politically correct.
I can tell you this.
I knew it. I look at Harvey and say, I think he toughs up.
I did three more plays.
I'm sorry.
I did four movies with Miramax.
Let me tell you, they don't just rape women, they rape niggas too.
In the deals.
In the deals.
Oh, my God.
In the deals.
Oh, in the deals.
Them niggas took the scary movie franchise.
You going to rape me in the scary movie franchise?
You going to take the shit?
Wait a minute.
You went too fast.
No, but this character, right?
And, you know, like I said, I'm not a, I don't know.
But when a bunch of women come forward, what you have to do is you have to pay attention.
That wasn't Terry.
It wasn't Harvey.
No, no, no. Somebody else. Somebody else. have to pay attention. That wasn't Terry. It wasn't Harvey.
Somebody else.
I want to meet the nigga that touched his ass.
That nigga got balls.
He was trying to commit a new way to commit suicide.
He was like, nigga, I don't want to jump over the building.
I don't want to shoot myself.
I'll find the biggest nigga I know and I'll touch
his dick in front of his wife.
In front of his wife.
And they were trying to die.
Ouch.
So what I'm saying is, like, all these things, like I said, there needed to be a correction.
Women deserve the right to be protected.
They deserve the right. I tell my son us as men. We got to do better
We got to do better. We got to tell our boys. Hey, man, you can't do that. Hey, man
No, you ain't supposed to hit a woman under no no no circumstance. I get it
I get she made a call you to him word. Well, guess what nigga you could walk down the stairs
You ain't got you walk away. I
Had a good example in front of me as a father.
Black men,
men of color, men of anything. You need to be
in your kid's life and you need to be present and you need to
teach these niggas the right way to do shit.
Women shouldn't have to fight
for their rights and their equality.
Same way black people shouldn't have to have fought.
There should have been a given
that I'm a fucking human being and I shouldn't
be treated like this, But it's not.
And so when people are fighting for their
freedoms, then we should support that
and support their rights.
Until it encroaches on top of you.
Now you being one of
the successful comedians and one of the
people... By the way, if you're coming to the show tonight
in Miami,
it's going to be in Doral.
Doral, Doral, Doral.
Doral.
And I got one show tonight.
Doral's a homie.
That's why I'm here today.
Two shows tomorrow.
You're going to be at least.
You're going to be.
I got a long time.
I'm not done yet.
Tiger Ball.
Let's pick it up.
All right.
So I got two shows tomorrow.
Yes.
Where's Mr. Lee?
I got one show Sunday and I got two shows on Monday.
And I want to say if you're coming tonight, it's probably going to be a terrible show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
It's going to be a special show.
The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and Meat Eater founder
Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here
and I'll say it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to
understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience
the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened
when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns
in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious.
Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone, and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Let me just tell you something.
You are one of the top comedians out there.
You're one of the people that we identify with the hood.
This is the reason why,
you know, constantly...
And you know what?
I can tell hip-hop helps that.
Hip-hop helps the gap
between comedians and rappers.
Absolutely.
But here's what I want to ask you, though.
Was there ever any scrutiny
after white chicks, right?
Because there's always this thing
that they say that to un-empower a black man,
that they want to put a skirt on us, or they want to put a, you know.
They said that about Martin Lawrence.
They said that about, so I'm wondering.
They created that theory, smoked the wrong blunt, and ran the whole white horse.
He's bad.
I read that book.
That was a jam.
That was a jam.
Take a look at that book. He's dead. I read that book. That was a jam. That was a jam. Take a look at that.
I read that book.
Listen.
Okay.
We have to allow ourselves.
Hold on.
This was you guys' script.
You came up with that?
My brother Sean came up with it.
Okay, cool.
We all wrote it and produced it.
Okay, cool.
So that's the difference.
White people don't do this.
So can we explain something?
White people listen.
Explain that this was your guys' thing as opposed to, because what people think is it's always a white person that comes to you.
We came up with this.
And says, yo, we want you to wear a dress.
They try to emasculate you.
Okay.
Take it from me.
Even if they did, if it's a brilliant script.
Right.
Nigga, you're telling a story.
Right.
You shallow-minded motherfucker.
Let art be art.
Yes.
Don't come in here with your scrutiny and your bullshit. What are you
doing to better society? What are you
doing to better the race? Because your opinion, my
nigga, is just an opinion.
So why don't you do something that's actually going to be effective
and instead of pulling us apart, let's
bring us closer together. White people
don't sit around and look at
Rob Williams and go, he put on
a dress, he emasculated the white race.
I haven't heard that yet. Rob Williams wore a dress. on a dress, he emasculated the white race. I haven't heard that yet.
Robin Williams wore a dress.
And he's my shit.
Black people were trained.
They trained us to hate on each other.
You know what else is my shit?
Tropical thunder.
You're so high.
Don't ask questions, don't ask the fucking answers, bro.
My bad, my bad.
Sorry, keep going.
Keep going, keep going.
Keep going.
This nigga's so high, he was rubbing his Jesus chain.
Like,
keep going, keep going.
So,
we're trained to hate on each other.
We're trained.
We have to open ourself up.
Why is it that
we call our forefathers of comedy
coons and buffoons,
but white people call theirs
greats. Do they look at Charlie Chapman, Buster Keaton, and call them coons?
Charlie Chapman, that's the nigga with the Hitler mustache.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know about the coons and buffoons. Who calls it that?
I'm just saying, in terms of...
I mean, people call... I mean, I'm just saying, for anybody that doesn't know.
Yeah, sometimes. Yes. And it's been labeled that
throughout history.
Been labeled that.
Why do I have to look at my heroes
in a negative connotation?
The people that made it
for us to be in this situation.
If it wasn't for them,
we wouldn't be where we are
to be able to tell the kind of stories
about the kind of black man
that we are.
That man did what they had to do back then to get us in the game.
So who are we to look back and judge?
Meanwhile, they look at theirs and they applaud.
And we can't look at ours and applaud, applaud the effort and go, here's what I could do
differently.
Here's what I could make better.
But even then, but look at when Robin Williams puts on the dress, white people don't.
Tom Hanks wore a dress when he did Bosom Buddies.
Fucking four seasons.
And did anybody go, Tom Hanks, he's emasculating the white man.
They embraced this.
But did you actually hear that rumor?
We have to embrace ours.
Oh, he obviously has.
I'm asking, yeah.
What?
Did you hear that rumor?
Like, that's what happens to the black man?
I heard the bullshit.
I don't listen to that.
I do comedy, brother.
Nigga, was it funny?
Was it funny?
And listen, I'm doing a movie that's polarizing.
I'm doing a movie that speaks about black and whites.
I'm doing a movie that empowers both races.
I'm doing a movie that is about, like, it's really a gender movie.
White Chicks is so dope because you would think it's about black and white,
but it's more about black and white.
It's about female, male.
It's about pop culture.
It's about where things was going.
We was ahead of the curve.
So for us, when I do a…
We said what?
Caitlyn Jenner took a deep breath.
Oh, dang.
And the Nori podcast. You just got canceled. No, I'm just playing. Yeah, what do you call him again?
Chipote?
What do you call him?
Papote.
I said, Papote, we're going to interview you by the way.
He goes, whoo.
I said, by the way, white chicks dressing like, oh, I like it.
I'm from the ass.
You don't really talk like that.
I just fucked his ass.
No, I get it.
But I just think it's all about how we view things.
And I want to change the perspective of how we look at our past.
Because, you know, sometimes your past is handed to you the way it was handed to you.
You can't fix that.
I can never change the fact that we were slaves.
And when you learn about slavery in school and you're black and you start sinking in your seat out of shame.
Because they're not teaching about all the other slaveries that happen in every other fucking continent this is telling you about the black experience which
makes you feel lower I shouldn't have to feel lower about something that was not
in my control I should be empowered by the fact that I went through Mike that
experience was still here and was stronger than fucking ever and it wasn't
for whatever experience that happened nigga
I wouldn't be that we wouldn the part of the drink champ tradition.
Merry Christmas, but I do not, this is called.
I just don't know what this is.
I've never seen nothing like this before.
Amber Rose drink is.
I've never, it's black, nigga.
It's ginseng.
It look like you ginseng.
It's ginseng.
It look like you squoze this nigga's skin
into this black.
Look at this.
You just got some black ass in there, man!
Yeah!
You got some black ass in there!
Sonny in the cup!
Sonny in the cup!
Sonny in the cup!
Let's explain to him.
Because so many people, they want to give these people, you're great, you're great.
I want to look at you in your face and tell you how much of a fan I am of you.
This sound like I'm about to die when I drink this fucking drink.
No, because...
You know what I know, hit me out, hit me out.
If we're not going to big each other up, then who's going to big each other up?
And us as people, and I'm not talking black, I'm talking about our culture.
We got to keep continuing to say that, you know, what you're doing out there, and how
you're doing it out there, we respect what you're doing, man.
Thank you, but I'm a different kind of shot than...
No, no, no.
This is Drinks, Chances.
Drinks, Chances. This is Drinks, Chances. No, no, no. This is Drink Champs. Drink Champs.
It's so-and-so.
It's so-and-so.
I got, I got.
You want me to, I'll take some more.
I'll take some more.
But then again, you had 19 fucking blunts in a half hour.
All right, come on.
Salud.
Salud.
Eye to eye.
Eye to eye.
All right, let's go.
Hey!
Oh, wordy, wordy.
You're good.
Go, go, go.
I'll say a little piece.
That was terrible.
What was it, buddy?
It was terrible. It was terrible. It was terrible. It was terrible. You're good! Go, go, go! I'll say a little piece.
That was terrible.
Look, you handled that really good!
You know what that is.
It's the soy sauce.
I think you can get another character out of that.
Tiger Ball.
You know that.
Come on, Sean. listen you know that it's all bad in my chest yo I've known this nigga 30 years
I've never seen him cry in my life
I'm so into a Molotov cocktail in my chest.
I've never seen a nigga scared in 30 years.

All right, look at everybody.
Look at everybody taking a shot.
Hold on.
Let me tell you something.
All of our crew was off.
They didn't want to come in today.
I never knew where the podcast was.
But when I said, Marlon is in the motherfucking building, you know what happened?
The whole Drink Champs army shut down shit.
They came through.
They came through.
Marlon is a motherfucking boy.
He's a motherfucking man.
You're sorry.
I don't smoke weed, right?
If you don't smoke weed, you're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man.
You're a fucking man. You're a fucking man. You're a fucking man. You're a fucking man. You're a fucking man. He's a motherfucking boy! He's a motherfucking man! Sir! Hey! Yo, so one of the-
Here's the thing, I don't smoke weed, right?
If you did, how high is hell?
I'm already high as hell.
I've been high for the last half hour.
Alright, you ready?
Let's go.
Let's go, come on, let's do it.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Why ain't I-
That one was good. I can't get used to that shit.
Let's go!
That shit fit.
Oh fuck.
No, but you said after the third one.
Yeah, here you go.
Yeah, no, no, no.
After the third one.
We don't even do the third one.
I think we have a potent Tiger Ball.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
That Tiger Ball is potent, man.
But he from Brooklyn Slash Man.
He from Brooklyn Slash Man.
You from Tiger Ball?
Yeah, you sick.
Holy shit, dog.
You okay, brother?
That's just the best thing. That's just the best thing. That's just the best thing. I
Question for you, okay, what the fuck made you go, let me get everybody high as fuck and drunk as a motherfucker
and do a podcast?
What the fuck?
What's next?
We gonna get everybody high on crack.
Now you see that shit
when they're doing that.
A slingshot from Dubai
from one building to another,
that's my next show.
It's the Pookie Podcast.
Slinging somebody.
From a slingshot
from one building to another.
But, um... Look at his face.
Yo, can you open that window?
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
No.
You think comedy...
will last this long?
Comedy? Comedy will be here forever. Yeah, comedy will last this long? Comedy?
Comedy will be here forever.
Yeah, comedy will be here forever.
And as long as we keep pushing the limits,
you know, sometimes
if I say something offensive,
I was supposed to.
And I was supposed to give up
that part of my career
to be brave enough
to not give a fuck.
Because all the real greats at some point
you gotta you have to go fuck that i'm gonna say it and you gotta be truthful because nobody else
is gonna say it because that's why the motherfuckers ain't comedians and for us we gotta say it and if
i lose all you niggas i don't give a a fuck. Now, you ain't losing us. Be with you forever. The people that really... You took two shots of Tiger Bone with us.
Be with you for life.
And I'm still talking.
I'm going to take it.
There you are taking it in the motherfucker right now.
I get drunk.
I get spiritual, my nigga.
I'm a different kind of drunk, my nigga.
My nigga got more sober as he got drunk.
That's hard.
That's crazy.
That's the way I'm wired.
Put your glasses on right now.
And nobody drives better fucked up.
Daddy Swervin, give him a beer.
So for me, you have to push the limits.
We got to not give a fuck.
We got to keep going there.
And if I lose fans, fuck them.
Because the ones that I gained, those are the ones that I'm supposed to have.
And they're stuck with me.
Because they know that I'm protecting them by speaking truthfully about what the fuck is happening.
And that's always.
And you've got to be a real nigga.
Fuck all this, you can't be, you've got to be
politically correct.
Nigga, comedy is not politically correct.
There's politically correct comedians and they do great.
But that's for them.
For me, I'm not that nigga.
Somebody fought it and tried to cover it up
and he just went,
I smell shit.
You don't got many people
on your side, though.
So it gotta be one of two.
You look like you fought it.
Make a point and nobody else.
We gotta not give a fuck.
My job is to not give a fuck. My job is to not give a fuck.
My job is to talk about
what people won't talk about.
So fuck it.
I'm going to be that nigga.
And if I ever say something
that loses fans
or loses a show,
loses endorsements,
then that was all supposed
to be lost
for me to find the new me
and for the audience to find that I'm a true motherfucker
I always spoke my motherfucking mind and those
That love me will bring me back to the top cut them make some noise for that
Because
Nosy as fuck Yeah I'm trying to be good
At my job
You got sisters niggas
Yeah I'm trying to be good
At my job
Hey Mitch help me
I got one
So listen
The Richard Pryor story
I think I'm fucked up
Go
How you doing buddy
The Richard Pryor story
These questions
Get deeper and deeper
No it's because
When I heard the Richard Pryor story
And this is God honest
I kid you not
I think I said it
On the podcast
I'm not sure
But when I heard it
I felt like
It was either you
Or Mike Epps I don't feel like Anyone should ever, but when I heard it, I felt like it was either you or Mike Epps.
I don't feel like
anyone should ever be
in the running for it.
I just feel like...
I think either one of us
would have served it justice.
And it was a great experience
for me, man.
Uh-huh.
I don't know what's
happening with the movie.
Okay.
It's been through,
you know,
it started out,
my brother Damien
was going to do it
years ago.
It was going to be
the actual movie.
Eddie Murphy was going to do it years ago he was gonna do it then
Mike and me and Mike and so Eddie Murphy's gonna do a play Richard or at a
point all right and for me I'm just I'm blessed because going up for that
audition brought me to the stage that in and the movie my idea with my brother Damon called Behind the Smile brought me to the stage.
So my hero in comedy, meaning going to play his life.
If I felt like I'd do Richard Pryor's story, I should get my ass on stage.
If I'm going to play the greatest comedian ever, I need to get my ass on stage.
And so I started doing stand-up.
You were doing stand-up before that?
That's the thing that really got I started doing stand-up. You weren't doing stand-up before that? Oh, shit.
That's the thing
that really got me
started doing stand-up.
And so the movie
happening or not happening,
it didn't affect me
in a negative way.
I was like,
God brought me to this stage.
I want,
I don't,
it'd be great to play,
I want to play a great.
I'm going to be a great.
And that's what, why I'm playing, doing stand- great to play, I want to play a great. I'm going to be a great. And that's what,
why I'm playing,
doing stand-up
every goddamn weekend.

Batman but it's gonna be the first black black fucking Robin yeah but you know
what the Tyson fits you happen Robin's balls was way too big. Batman got it for kill. It was like, yo, fly. Let's roll with that room.
I look at it like this, man.
If it didn't happen, I try to tell this to my audience,
I tell this to my people, I tell this to my kids.
If it didn't happen, it wasn't meant to be.
What's God trying to tell you?
When that didn't happen for me,
it was God saying, I don't want the easy road for you i need you to have a
harder road if i did robin i would have never written don't be a menace i would have never did
what i never did scary movies i would have never did created wayans brothers with my brother sean
i would have never did the things that i wound up doing if I didn't do
those, if I
didn't not,
how do I say this?
It's a double-nigger. If I did
Batman, that would never happen.
That's Puerto Rican.
I would have never done it, but
being that I didn't do
Batman, Robin,
yes, the movie Batman. Being that I didn't do that. Robin, yes. Play Robin.
The movie Batman.
Yeah, the movie Batman.
Being that I didn't do that, it was the best thing that never happened.
Wow.
So open up other doors for you.
But then you redeem yourself because you got G.I. Joe.
I ain't going to fuck.
Yo, G.I. Joe's the shit.
I didn't even know you was in G.I. Joe.
I went out there to see it and I seen you was the only nigga in there.
I said, my nigga.
That was the first nigga I saw.
And then I think they killed me in the second one.
They like killing me in the ass.
They like killing me.
And they never kill him in the cartoons.
Nah.
Fucked up.
The niggas live in the cartoons.
Everybody lives in the cartoons.
They flip over the lasers, man.
Once again, you know, I don't sit there and hold tight to things that
didn't happen.
I keep it moving.
I got shit to do.
So if it don't happen,
believe me,
I got shit to do.
And I'm always doing something new.
I'm always trying to grow,
trying to get better.
So I don't sit there
and be mad
and be hurt.
I go,
what's funny about this
because I'm going to use it somewhere. I'm going to express this on the stage or hurt. I go, what's funny about this,
because I'm going to use it somewhere.
I'm going to express this on the stage or something.
Niggas are going to feel it.
But at the same time, I go, alright,
so how do I take the same energy
and put it into what I'm doing next?
And listen, I'm not even listening.
No, I am.
I'm on my next question.
I was on my next question.

They should have put that shit in Maine.
You got to take the Hollis car right to LaGuardia High School.

I don't trust that nigga.
Or the dollar man.

Hi, Keisha.
You know, I went to high school with these cats.

To this day, we still ride hard. Omar became friends. Omar, absolutely your best friend, right? Yeah, yeah. We all went to high school together. We all,
to this day,

Yeah.
Why you put this high nigga on?
He ain't got nothing to say.
I do.
He asked me a question.
But I auditioned for Juice,
like the year,
they graduated the year before me.
We all kind of got movies
at the same time.
Number one?
Marlon got Mo Money.
Omar got Juice.
I did this independent film with Jeff Goldblum,
and then I also got the role in Juice.
Now, I knew Forrest, I'm serious.
Ernest Dickinson.
You high, bitch!
I am high.
But I met Ernest Dickinson when I was an intern on Do The Right Thing.
I am so contact-hung right now.
Years back.
And then he put me in and gave me the opportunity
to do a scene
where he allowed me and Omar
to write the pool hall scene.
The whole Brenda Witherspoon
Shines Your Silver scene.
Me and Omar wrote that.
It wasn't in the script.
We wrote it
and he set the cameras around it.
And then he called me back
and then we ended up doing the...
I told you don't put the nigga
on my YouTube channel.
You're fucking me up.
That's why I don't smoke weed with him.
I have to try to get this nigga to sleep.
And the blunt went out, so I don't know.
That's God saying, you can no smoke your dick.
And this nigga's face stopped working.
He was like, oh, you.
He wake up right before I noticed.
I'm like, I'm like.
So, Ali's real good at stealing.
How is it being friends with this guy?
Oh, it's dope.
I mean, Marlon, like, what you see, like, Marlon is, I mean, it's not an act.
You know, he's a supportive brother. You know, he looks out for people.
He wants the best in you.
He pushes you.
You know, the way his big brothers push him,
I look at him all the more as a brother than a friend.
And he definitely pushes you.
Like, you know, he'll say some shit that make you mad.
Like, you know, I ain't fuck with that nigga today.
Fuck that nigga.
Like, when he wants the best for you.
Well, that's kind of funny as shit, my nigga.
Yeah, but he makes you understand the means to get what you want
and he pushes you
to get there.
That's all.
I just want y'all
both to know,
you know,
Drink Champs,
we realized
there wasn't a platform
for us to big up
our people.
There's so many,
like I said,
I don't want to keep
reiterating myself
but I do want to
reiterate that
if we're not going to big each other up, there's no people in this world that's going to big us up.
My nigga, you see me at 112.
Y'all come do my podcast.
Yep.
And today wasn't about publicists and all that.
Yep.
Thank you.

I said I need this. You said yes. I appreciate that. We make it happen. I said, I need this.
You said yes.
We made it.
We made it about it, man.
I got nothing but love for all that we do, man, because it's so hard for us in this industry.
And I just pray that one day we create our own industry.
The only way to do that is to have conversations and have interactions that me and you had,
which is like, yo, my nigga hitting me.
It's communication.
It's building.
Let's go do it.
You doing a podcast?

Let's keep it going.
Let's continue to do what we got to do.
It's not a race thing.
It's not even about us.
It's a generation of wealth.
That's right.
We all have children. We all have things. And's not a race thing. It's not even about us. It's a generation of wealth. We all have children.
And this goes for every color.
I'm not mad at any
man trying to live the American
dream from seed to shot
and seed. We're conquerors
as we all should be.
And so it's okay to align
yourself and have friendships
and nigga, it's because we have a
scrap. It don't
mean that we gotta like
have a breakdown or I ain't gotta fuck
with you. Nigga, call me.
I ain't like when you did, nigga, my bad.
I'm a New York nigga, you're a New York nigga.
My best friends
is because
we had a disagreement.
And my nigga, I don't fuck with that one. Nigga, I don't fuck
with that. All right.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So,
I fuck with you.
Stand behind me.
Good,
because what I was trying to say was this.
Well, nigga,
I took it like that.
Oh, my bad.
And we never had that conversation again.
That's why 30 years later,
we are best friends.
And that's what we need to do with each other
in this industry.
Let's make some noise for that.
