Starting point is 00:07:17 Yes. And it's crazy. We have this... So, I got this thing that I do every time we interview someone, right? So this is the thing that I didn't want to happen Immediately, as soon as I said Marlon Wayans
Starting point is 00:07:31 I said something about your special You tweeted it I tweeted it Immediately people said It's better than Chris Rock And I felt like I didn't see the tweet, first of all, nigga Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:07:40 So don't tell me you took the shit down Because I would have for sure retweeted that shit No, I don't want to smoke with Chris Rock either. What he going to do? Really, nigga? What is he going to do? So, but... I see a verse in it.
Starting point is 00:08:02 No, but to tell you the truth, it immediately reminded me of what people do with rappers. Rappers, they put rappers against each other immediately. Right, Venom up against them. And I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to say, you know what, because you have a special out and then he has a special out, then you have to compare. I think yours is great on its own. It's different styles.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I don't even retweet when people compare the two. I love Chris Rock. Rock knows I love him. I love him. He's like family. Rock is like, like I said, he's a mean, older stepbrother. That wasn't Will Smith. That was Tupac.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yes, he hazed me the way. So everything is real that you're saying in the special, 100%. What do you think I lied? That's what made it special. You said he hazed you. Yeah, he said it in the special. That nigga heckled me at the special. That nigga heckled me. Growing up.
Starting point is 00:08:46 At the lab factory. He heckled me. He heckled me so bad, nigga. I see why you don't want smoke. I don't want to smoke. That nigga. I don't smoke with dope comedians. Y'all niggas is ruthless.

Starting point is 00:09:15 So our words cut. But Chris heckled me so bad, I quit stand-up comedy for 20 years. Now, how badly do you think I bombed that night where I quit for 20 years? That's why I said it in the special. You don't be watching the special. No, I didn't watch that part. You one of them niggas that talk about the book
Starting point is 00:09:31 and don't read the book. Damn. How you get the cliff notes to the special? This nigga. No, no, no, no. You the brandy. All you do is smoke weed
Starting point is 00:09:41 and that's all I do. Hey, it's funny. No, it's funny as shit. You ain't watching no clips or nothing. But why are comedians, why y'all turning into rappers right now? I ain't turning into rappers. You don't think I'm going to fight with another comedian? No, I wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I mean, if I had to, we going to catch some hands. But I'm a reformed hood nigga. So I grew up in the projects. I don't need that. I don't want to do that. And if I do that, I know where it can go, right? So if I hit another comedian
Starting point is 00:10:14 or if somebody hits me, then my family got to get involved. And now my niggas got to get involved. And then we having a project war. So I don't want to do that. And by the way, we want the Wayne. Y'all like our warranty. The Wayne's.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and MeatEater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here.

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.

Starting point is 00:33:06 Put an adverb with it. Nobody wants to spell trajectory, by the way. We're all the same. But at that time, we had Robin Harris. What was his name? Not Robin. This nigga. You so high, nigga.

Starting point is 00:33:44 No, man. That was after. That was after a living color, correct? No, man. That was after. That was after. Or during. I mean, a living color was a long run, bro. I don't know where the fuck Robin Harris got to do with a living color. Now, your trajectory is off. You know where he put his trajectory, bro?
Starting point is 00:33:56 I was about to lie and be like, yeah, Robin Harris. You were like, oh man, what's my man name? He's still alive. Not the one that's dead. That brings down the pool to a- Bernie Man? Bernie Man. Bernie Man.

Starting point is 00:34:34 We had, like, at the end of the day, Living Color was produced, directed. Shout out to Robert Townsend. Robert Townsend. Legend in the game. Somebody who, to this day, is like a big brother and a mentor. Him and my brother Kenan came up together. They wrote and Robert directed, and Kenan and him starred in Hollywood Shuffle.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And that was the first thing that they did. And then after Hollywood Shuffle, my brother Kenan started. He did I'm Gonna Get You Sucker. Robert Townsend did Meteor Man. And after I'm Gonna Get You Sucker, then my brother wrote did Meteor Man, and after I'm Gonna Get You Sucker, then my brother wrote, starred, produced, gave me a little small extra role.

Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey. So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid.

Starting point is 00:38:31 Well, I was supposed to do that part in the rib shack, but Chris had a beat. He had a dope set, like a part of his stand-up that really worked for that. So he kind of, Keenum promised me a part. The one rib. Huh? worked for that. So he kind of, Keenan promised me a part. The one rib. Huh? The one rib.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Yeah, the one rib. So Keenan gave him that part and that was supposed to be my part. And that's what. Don't give away anymore, man. And that means, nigga, watch the special.
Starting point is 00:38:57 All y'all watch the special to see the rest of the story. Because that means I'm not even a special. And so after that, Keenan, Fox asked Keenan, he had a meeting with him, and he said, what do you want to do? And Keenan was like, I want to do a sketch show. And Living Color, him and my brother Damon and my sister Kim and the whole cast, David Algaria, and then history was made.
Starting point is 00:39:18 And season four, I came on. A lot of people came on. Everybody rocked. Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey. The dancers came on. Yeah, Jim Carrey. Carrier and enough. Jim Carrey. The dancers came up. Yeah, Jim Carrey. Carrier and enough,
Starting point is 00:39:25 but Jim Carrey. So you would be- Me, Sean. I'm understanding you were a kid at the time. Are you understanding that you're watching history? I didn't even have dick hairs
Starting point is 00:39:33 at this time. Oh, my bad. Like, this is how young I was. I was like, when in Living Color, the pilot, I was like 16 years old. And so I watched the pilot
Starting point is 00:39:42 being done. By the time it came on, I think I was in college, my first year in college. And when the show used to come on, I was at Howard University and everybody would leave. Whatever we were doing,
Starting point is 00:39:52 it was eight o'clock Sunday night. We would drop everything and everybody would run home and watch The Living Color. That's when TV was great. Yeah. Goddamn, make some noise. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:40:02 The closest thing to A Living Color, I would say, was like the Dave Chappelle show. Yeah, Chappelle. Chappelle, that was a show. You know you do the good show when the people who, you know, the trailblazers are proud of you. Like, my brothers were always proud of Dave. They love Dave.
Starting point is 00:40:19 They love Dave. They love Chris. They love dudes in the game that have been doing it a long time and get an opportunity to rock. And Dave is always, you know, always pays love and homage to my brothers and gives them nothing but love. So we love Chappelle, we love Rob. Ain't no beef over here. Never.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I never met Kenan, but I met Damon one time. You never met Kenan? I met Damon. Yeah, Kenan wouldn't fuck with you. Yeah. You smell too much like weed. No, but Damon said to me. Kenan would be like, I don't think so. You smell too much like weed. No, but Dame, that's what Dame said to me. Kenan would be like, I don't fuck with that nigga.
Starting point is 00:40:48 You smell like weed. Yo, I said, can I take a picture? He said, you smell like weed, man. He said, you smell just like weed. But Dame is funny. Dame would be like,
Starting point is 00:40:56 you smell like weed. Give me some of that shit. I just saw Dame at the improv not too long ago. I think like late last year and he's hilarious, man. Damon is... And it's perfect for...
Starting point is 00:41:08 He had his rhythm that was perfect. Damon's my favorite. I can't call him my favorite because he's my brother. Right. So my top comedians all time are going to be Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, and my brother Damon. Those are my personal top three ever. And of course, my other friends, I love Chappelle.
Starting point is 00:41:31 I love Chris Rock. But Damon, to me, as a comedian, he just changed the game. Because he did something. I like when people do something that's never been done. And when Damon did the handicap bully, he did this thing because he grew up handicapped. And he was like, you know, he grew up handicapped. Damon grew up handicapped. Damon has
Starting point is 00:41:52 a club foot. So as a kid, he always had a limp. It looked like a little golf club. His foot looked like a putter. So growing up, you know, I don't even know if you're joking or not. No, I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:42:05 And so we had this bit about how we grew up in the hood, and he didn't want to be like the handicapped bully. And he'd be like, well, where you going? Don't make me get up. And it was the first time I seen somebody do this and then do somebody in a wheelchair. And I was just like, and then he did handyman. And it wasn't that he was making fun of handicapped people.
Starting point is 00:42:24 He was finding joy in the fact that he was handicapped. Wow. And that's what made that joke brilliant. That's crazy. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's like when Richard Pryor talks about- Spoken crack.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Hey, whoa, nigga. I'm talking about his heart attack, bro. Why we got to go straight to crack? Yeah, straight to crack. Or burn himself. Yeah, but when he talks about that, when you talk about things that hurt you or things that happen to you,
Starting point is 00:42:49 to me, that's when you're really getting great in comedy. You know what I mean? That's what I admire about comedy. When I first started rapping, I remember tragedy Gaddafi had to come to and say to me, stop using all your trauma. Meaning, I was using every single thing that I went through, I would put it in a joint. And what he said to me, stop using all your trauma. Meaning, I was using every single thing that I went through,
Starting point is 00:43:06 I would put it in a joint. And what he said to me was, you have to be kind of like, what the fuck am I thinking of? Trajectory. No, no. He said, you kind of got to like,
Starting point is 00:43:23 like put 100 on 10. Like, you don't always have to say everything that you're going through. Modulate, modulation. And I didn't really, I didn't really know how to do that. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:43:32 But then as comedians, like I was asking you earlier, I said, is there anywhere that's too far? No. Right? And then, so let me ask you,
Starting point is 00:43:41 as a comedian, right? You have relationships with Chappelle. You have relationships with Chris Pratt. But you get caught. Man, we will. You, one day, someone slips something in your drink. You get caught eating ass somewhere. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I'm just giving you an example. It's an example. It's an example. Depending on whose ass. You ain't got to slip nothing in my drink. But let me ask. Now, Michael Blacksmith
Starting point is 00:44:11 goes online and goes, you fucking had my name up. Black Smith? That's not his name? Michael Blacksmith. Blacksman, I said. No? Black son.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Blackson, that's what I said. I thought that's what I said. No, I didn't. Blacksmith. I just mentioned Michael Blacksmith as a Black son. Black son. That's what I said. I thought that's what I said. No, he definitely didn't say that. No, I didn't. Black son. I just mentioned Michael Blackson as a black man. It's a horseshoe. So you get caught in Ghana. Eat ass.
Starting point is 00:44:37 You get caught in Ghana. I don't know why. You get caught in Ghana, eat ass, and then Michael Blackson. That's a person who's your friend. He has your phone number. He could call you and say, I'm going to kill you right now. But he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:44:48 He better not. He goes straight to the gram. Yes. And he makes fun of you. My nigga. And you don't care? As you supposed to. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Fuck this gram, nigga. I want to see it in a special. I want to see it in the audience. I want to feel it so that I never do that dumb shit again. And we all know. That's real. That's the realest response ever.
Starting point is 00:45:10 I ain't even going to lie to you. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. Hit me a little bit, bro. I didn't see it. No, no. You got apple cider? Vinegar?
Starting point is 00:45:19 No, definitely not. No, apple. You have the apple orchard. Jesus. I'll have a sip of that. And we're going to your show tonight. Why do you got this man doing this shit, and you already got pre-rolled?
Starting point is 00:45:31 Oh, that's why. And he grows it right there, too. Where you getting them from? It's called living life. I'm here. Roll it up. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:43 So, so, Marley After Like So many people Like They say that Nas When Nas did Belly
Starting point is 00:45:53 Right That Nas stayed in that character For so long Or Pac After Juice That's definitely What other people After Juice

I don't know where you got to that. We went full trajectory circle.
Starting point is 00:46:10 This is my trajectory. Yeah, your trajectory's all fucked up. You're the highest trajectory. The fuck is going on? I recently saw that and I see Omar, I don't want to say he was offended, but he was like,

Starting point is 00:46:46 Is it practice? It's like you'll take the picture? No, Omar's sleeping with his eyes open. So we was all up in the Bronx hanging out. And Omar, thank you so much. That's the greatest addition to this goddamn show. You got a pretty girl in here. And we spoke to him about it. I think he's right. I hope you feel girl in here. And what's fucked up about it?
Starting point is 00:47:07 I think it's great. I hope you feel safe in here. No, she's good. It's a safe space. These niggas all men. They thirsty. Like you come into prison for a conjugal visit. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,

It's Mental Health awareness month. And on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J, the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey. So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid. I laugh.
Starting point is 00:48:51 You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously. That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard. To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network
Starting point is 00:49:10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. AT&T, connecting changes everything. Your gut microbiome and those healthy bacteria can actually have positive effects throughout your body. Not just your gut, but your mental health, your metabolism, your immunity, your risk of cancer, heart disease, almost any disease under the sun. Yep, you heard right. Probiotics might actually impact everything from your brain to your heart.
Starting point is 00:49:41 So what's science and what's just really good marketing? On this episode of Dope Labs, me and Zakiya cut through the hype and get into the real deal behind probiotics with help from gastroenterologist Dr. Roshi Raj. So yes, bacteria is definitely having a moment and I'm very excited about that. From probiotic drinks and gummies to face creams and pillows. Yep, we said pillows. The probiotic boom is everywhere. But how much of it actually works? And what does it all mean for your gut, your skin, and even your mood?
Starting point is 00:50:12 Join us on Dope Labs where we break it all down into the lab like only we can. Listen to Dope Labs on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh my God. Okay, so Omar sleep with his eyes open like this. And Pac is a jokester.
Starting point is 00:50:32 So when he was sleeping, Pac was like, yo, watch this, take this picture. So you see Pac's balls. So somewhere in this world, Pac's balls in Omar's mouth. No, they're not in his mouth. Why you got to go there? I mean, around. Don't get me beat up by a dark-skinned actor. Pots balls in all Mars mouth
Starting point is 00:51:05 That's why they call the movie Juice. What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? Where the fuck are we going with this? My bad. My bad. No, but I looked at, this is how I knew y'all was friends. I knew y'all was friends because when you broke it up, Omar's face just looked at you.
Starting point is 00:51:17 He looked at you like, I'm going to swing on you as soon as this is over. He said this nigga. Yeah, yeah. But they know me for that. Like, I'm a spot blower. That's what we do.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Right. And, you know, what's the crazy thing is, you got to meet... You can bring him his drink. Please. Yeah, yeah, please, please. I just want to rinse
Starting point is 00:51:32 the smell of man off of me. You got to meet a different Tupac. Because Tupac... Some would say that Tupac was... It was a pre-Tupac and then there's a death row Tupac. I would say they don't know Tupac.
Starting point is 00:51:48 The digital underground Tupac? Let me ask you this. I would say they don't know Tupac. Did you connect with Tupac after he got to death row? I know all of Tupac. So you know every different Gemini or Tupac? Absolutely. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I'm a married to a Gemini. I'm offended. He wasn't phony with anything. That was Tupac. Tupac was That was his. Whatever he. Tupac was all. All those variations. He was extremely funny.
Starting point is 00:52:10 He was very smart. Like he knows what trajectory actually means. I don't. Right. He was a great rapper. Thank you. A gangster. A poet.
Starting point is 00:52:22 An activist. An activist. Tupac Shakur was all of those things. And he was a friend. He was a cool dude. And through his uprising, through his success, every time he'd see me, always, whether he'd be on the MTV line, always came over, always gave me love because we always, he always, always connected.
Starting point is 00:52:46 And I respect where he went. I saw him 20 minutes before he passed, me and Omar. We went over there to give him love because, you know, we all performing arts high school kids. It wasn't an act. So Pac wasn't acting like Bishop. There was just a part of Pac that was Bishop.
Starting point is 00:53:02 It was the niggas that he grew up with. When you grow up in the hood, we can all be gangsters. I watched niggas do nigga shit my whole life. Like, I was in the projects for 17 years of my life. And when you grow up in the bricks, you know what it is. You know, I know niggas and micas serving life that I grew up with, that I used to play in the playgrounds with. I just chose not to go to that park with them.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I went somewhere else. I chose to do other things. My mother was like, streetlights, come on, bring your black ass upstairs. My dad was like, I was more afraid of my dad's belt than anything, so that kept me out of trouble. Pac never had that. So when you young black men without fathers
Starting point is 00:53:44 getting into a lot more trouble, not to say that, you know, Afeni didn't do a great job, but a mother is different than a father. A father will strike fear in your ass. A mother, you could argue it. At a point, a boy, 13, 14 years old, ma, I could take you. Nah, I got hair on my dick. You can't take me.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Those slaps don't work. Those belts don't hurt. So Pac was that dude that just transcended all that. hair on my dick. You can't take me. Those slaps don't work. Those belts don't hurt. So, Pac was that dude that just transcended all that. This is one thing I think is always lost with Pac's story. How young he was, how young
Starting point is 00:54:16 he passed. It was only 24. You don't know yourself at that age. This nigga was 24. Imagine if he was still alive. Making Brindis got a baby. Making Dear what I'm saying? This nigga was 24. Imagine if he was still alive. Making Brenda's got a baby. Making Dear Mama. That evolution of who you would become right now, our generation. I never met Tupac, so you know.
Starting point is 00:54:31 So, like, so, so, so, yeah, yeah. Give me some Tupac love. Give me some Tupac love. Yeah. Come on. Give me some Tupac love, man. I never met Tupac. Tupac would have liked you.
Starting point is 00:54:40 And you know what's fucked up about it? Tupac visited my hood when I was in jail. Like, that was like, like, it was like a shot. Wow. Oh, shit, my chain done fell out. Shit. That was Tupac. Yeah, Tupac.
Starting point is 00:54:51 That's Tupac. But Pac was just that young, that bright, that shine, that star that was that bright, that young. Imagine what he would have been today. Our generations would be sold. This society wouldn't be as sensitive. Twitter would have been something else. Instagram would have been something else.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Pac, with his legendary voice, would have definitely been a big force in today's... And I think Big and Pac would have squashed their beef. Yeah, I don't think they would have been beef. No, they wouldn't have been beef. It was just too much between them. You met Big, too, right? Nigga, I was there one night
Starting point is 00:55:24 when Pac and Big performed at Glam Slam. There's a picture of me. In Miami, Glam Slam? Oh, that's right. You're in the background. I did see that. That's right. You're in the background.
Starting point is 00:55:34 This is when Biggie had party and bullshit out. Yes. And Pac had, I think it was I Get Around and a few other hits. And he had Biggie open up for Pac. Yes, you're in that fucking picture. Yes, you're in that picture. I was there that night in the dressing room. I seen it on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Someone was pointing it out. Yeah, man. I've been around a long time. I seen Biggie 20 minutes before he got shot. So what I'm saying is, 20 minutes from now, watch your back, nigga. I'm going to wait an hour. I'm going to wait an hour.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Oh, my God. Damn, that shit is history, bro. Yeah, it is. Holy shit. I've been blessed. I'm going to win an hour I'm going to win an hour Oh my god Damn that shit is history bro Yeah it is Holy shit I've been blessed Let's just You know You being a part of
Starting point is 00:56:13 One of the famous families Of this industry Is that a plus Or is that like Is that something that Burdens you Because A lot of people will always say
Starting point is 00:56:23 Like I I brag about you When you're not around, okay? I brag about you. I say, Marlon is one of the most funniest people ever, right? And I say it, and they're like, what? And I'm like, yeah. I'm saying, have you ever seen Marlon? Like, just without it?
Starting point is 00:56:39 And then, so what I'm saying is, being a part of this family, is that something that is a plus? Or is like, oh, okay, he's supposed to be funny. It's a curse. Because he's supposed to be great. It's a gift and a curse. It has to be.
Starting point is 00:56:52 It's so fucked up. It's a curse. Hold on, let me say something. When I brag about you, what they say is, they almost say, of course. And that's fucked up to me because it's like, when I say how funny you are, they say, okay, yeah. Like, he's supposed to be funny. And it's like, why? Because he's from this royal family?
Starting point is 00:57:12 He's supposed to be funny? Or is he supposed to be funny because he's funny? I had it hard, right? But I wouldn't want it no other way. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not walking just in my own light. Nigga, I got giant footprints that have paved ways. And yet, I have to have the courage to be able to step in those footprints and then veer off and create my own giant footprints. And that's what my career has been.
Starting point is 00:57:41 I'm not, it's not a curse. It's a gift for me. The pressure of being the baby of my family, it made me have to step up. It made me have to be better. It made me have to, I can't be regular. I have to be great. I can't be good.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Good ain't good enough. Not when you got giants like Damon, Kenan, Sean, Kim. Our whole family is dope as fuck. I gotta be great. I have no choice. And I'm not going to fail it because I got that family name, but I'm doing the work not to just be a Wayans, right?

Starting point is 00:58:55 To For people to actually Understand And And people just They give you their props But then they say Oh you know
Starting point is 00:59:04 He's supposed to be. And I don't feel like that's necessary. It's coming, man. Do you understand what happens? I'm patient, right? And my special that I have now called God Loves Me is because I understand. I see the forest through the trees. I understand the journey that God has put me on.
Starting point is 00:59:20 And it's not for the faint hearted. It is not an easy journey. I'm glad I don't have an easy journey. I'm glad I don't have an easy journey. I know where I'm going. It will be to a legendary place because for me, I just got my head down. I don't care about what I'm trying to do. I'm just doing what I
Starting point is 00:59:36 love to do as good as I can do it as much as I can do it and I just keep getting better. That's why I dropped my first special five years ago, Woke-ish. Because I wanted to, I did stand-up for eight years. I wanted to see what I was like.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I wanted to bookmark that. I wanted to go, I did that. Let me see, two years after that, I'm going to do another special. You know what it is. Then two years after that,
Starting point is 00:59:56 I'm going to drop another special, which is God Loves Me. If you look at my progression from here to here, or my first album to my third album, it's like night and day. It's coming. I'm on some
Starting point is 01:00:08 other shit. I'm finding my rhythm. I'm finding my shit. My own... Do you feel like you found your rhythm already or are you still kind of homing that? No, it's getting there. For me, everything's starting to coagulate. Everything's coming together. The writer,
Starting point is 01:00:23 I've been writing... You know I wanted to ask for that word, coagulate. I know. I know I wanted to say that. Come together. I felt it. I felt it came to me. So it's the writer. I've been writing now.
Starting point is 01:00:33 The writer in you. The writer in me. I've been writing now, writing movies and TV for 20-something, 30 years, right? I created Wayne's Brothers with my brother Sean. We've been writing since we was like 19. We're brothers. We're happy. We're singing. I don't even Brothers with my brother Sean. We've been writing since we was like 19. We brothers, we're happy, we're singing and we don't even know the goddamn

Starting point is 01:01:03 seven, since I was 17 professionally. Then to add the producer on me, I've been producing for 30 years. Now I do stand-up, but I've been doing stand-up for 12 years. Now I have 10,000 hours logged in five different areas
Starting point is 01:01:20 of my profession. I'm getting nice with this shit. I know where I'm going. I'm going to big you up. Thank you, brother. I'm getting nice with this shit. I know where I'm going. I'm going to big you up. You've been nice with this. No, no, I'm getting better. I'm getting better. And like I said, man, the fact is, to me,
Starting point is 01:01:35 like you're just, and I know you say you can't be funny 24 hours a day. No, you can't be. But to me, I've never seen you not funny. But that's why I don't smoke weed. Because if I smoke weed, I'll be on all day.
Starting point is 01:01:46 My mind don't shut off. One time I was high and I thought I was Spider-Man. I was literally in my house and my nephew was like, nigga, what kind of weed is that? Because my mind opens up. When I do weed, it's like I do ayahuasca. We just talked about ayahuasca with Chuck D. I heard him.
Starting point is 01:02:05 And all I could think was, now that shit, I want to try. I want to try ayahuasca. I'm not going to lie to you. We're going to do it on the show. You want to be a part of that? Let's do it. Let's go. That would be crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Part of me was like, yes, Chuck D. And then part of me was like, you told me you didn't get high. I dealt with both of that just now, 20 seconds ago. Part of me is sitting there going, Foxy and Chuck D on Ayahuasca. I want to see Flavor Flav on Ayahuasca. Yeah, boy! I want to see what that nigga see.
Starting point is 01:02:35 That was so crazy. I've hung out with Chuck D, and I've hung out with Flavor Flav. Oh, it's a whole different experience. A whole different experience. It's like the group. It is a whole different experience. Totally different. But that's what's great about
Starting point is 01:02:46 public enemy you got this conscious group and then here comes this crackhead with a clock on his neck yeah boy you know the time it just worked it fucking worked it fucking worked i'm the flavor Family. That's me. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I am so... This is so great. I don't even know what to clap. I don't know what to do at this point. So let me ask you, right? No, it doesn't work out. T.I. is actually taking this serious.
Starting point is 01:03:19 I thought... T.I. is my friend. Comedy? Yes, yes. So I text him, and I didn't think he was going to take it this serious. Yeah. T.I.'s actually going, he's going through the chitlin' circuit.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yeah. Like, he's not even starting as T.I. He's legit doing stand-up the way he's supposed to go through it. I'm proud of him. I don't want to tell him I'm proud of him. He started a little further ahead in stand-up than I did. I went further back than he did. I had a billion dollars in box office underneath my belt.
Starting point is 01:03:49 And when I started doing stand-up, I would go to coffee houses. I would go to open mics. I would perform in dive bars and motorcycle bars. And people was like, Nicky, you got scary movie out. Why are you? Because if you're going to do it, you got to take it serious and you got to be a journeyman.
Starting point is 01:04:08 I didn't want to bump comedians. I waited to last or I waited for my turn or I pick a number out the hat. I wasn't going up there trying to bump people. There's a process. I respect what he's doing,
Starting point is 01:04:20 which is going the long way. He can't expect to sell out concerts as T.I. The comedian. As T.I. the comedian. The comedian. That's a whole other... I commend what he's doing.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Yeah. But I'm going to be honest. I would take the short route. I call this nigga, when he bomb, I call him up. I want to be the big brother. Like, I know.
Starting point is 01:04:38 I know it hurts. He'll be on the plane. He have his hoodie on. I still feel the heat from the temperature of the room at Madison Square Garden. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling.
Starting point is 01:04:51 I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. I know what he's feeling. But he understood. But he understood. The next day, what'd he do? He actually did good.
Starting point is 01:04:57 He got on the stage. Same stage. Same stage. Same stage. In Atlanta. And he rocked the stage. I thought he was in New York. No, he flew to Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:05:04 And he rocked the stage. He flew to Atlanta And he rocked the stage It takes balls To come back the next day To get booed by 5,000 motherfuckers And you come back The next day Right
Starting point is 01:05:14 That's what stand up is Sometimes you rock Right Sometimes you bomb And you got chances Have you ever bombed Oh sure It's fun to me
Starting point is 01:05:22 I like bombing Because I know I like what I'm What's your favorite bomb? Where at? Your favorite? Man, pick one. Cincinnati? I feel like Cincinnati. No, no, no, no, no, no. Definitely LA because they're so pretentious. So when I'm there, I like to talk about all the shit that everybody's afraid to talk about.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Like Bloods Encryption and shit like that? I ain't getting killed. That ain't got, that ain't none of my business. That ain't none of my business. I don't know what you talking about, sir. I hope those gentlemen in colors enjoy their time and I hope they get along.
Starting point is 01:05:55 But you will not catch me doing none of those jokes. Sir, rebound. You know, I talk, I just talk about like uncomfortable stuff. I talk about like real life uncomfortable stuff. I talk about how I've made mistakes in my life. I talk about uncomfortable stuff. I talk about real life uncomfortable stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:06 I talk about how I've made mistakes in my life. I talk about infidelity. I talk about shit where I'm not, as a parent, where I fail. I talk about real shit and they're like, oh, you can't say that. Sure I could. It's my fucking kid. I'm going to say what the fuck I want. Because in order to find funny, you got to bomb.
Starting point is 01:06:24 As a comedian, you're a scientist, and you're putting these joke formulas together, and people are literally watching you blow these things that you're mixing together blow up in your face. Right. Until you find the right combination, then boom. Oh, water. That's a laugh. Right. How far along bombing do you take a joke where you keep trying to rework it before you give it up?
Starting point is 01:06:47 I keep going. You know the joke works? You're going to keep it going? No, no. You think the joke is good, but you keep reworking it? Oh, I go, oh, man. All right, now I got to learn how to tell this joke. Just because they're going, oh.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Like it's a challenge to you. Yeah, because the joke that I bomb with is the one I want to close with. The one that I bomb with is the one I want to close with. The one that I bomb with is the one I want to have the biggest laugh because I know they're listening and I know they're effective when they're like, oh, you can't say that. I'm like, alright, now they're listening. Now all I got to do is
Starting point is 01:07:15 find the right punchline and I got them. And are you the guy that makes these people lock their phones up? I'm not rich enough for that yet. So that would be the Chappelle and the Kevin Hart and the Chris Ross.
Starting point is 01:07:32 I've been to all three of their shows. I go off the buddy system. I'm like, please don't. Please guys, don't film me. You can film me at the end. Don't put my jokes up there. That shit costs like $10,000 to put niggas' phones up there. I ain't got... That shit cost like 10 grand to put niggas' phones in sleeves.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I'm like, I guess the joke gonna get out. Gotta write some new shit. Well, I went to... I went to Kevin Hart's show. This is why I have respect for Kevin Hart as well. He would not start his show until he kept saying,
Starting point is 01:08:06 Norby, go to the front. And I was just like, I was like, nigga, you rich. I'm going to catch the show. And he wanted me to be there from the beginning. And then I was like, that's also a pure comedian because sometimes you guys get to a certain level where we think you're just untouchable
Starting point is 01:08:22 and then it's human. You guys are still human. Yeah. I didn't know that. What's fucked up is he was high and none of that probably ever happened. Who?
Starting point is 01:08:32 Wait, what? Your ass was high and none of that ever happened. No, I actually did. I actually... That nigga did nothing. Who was with me? Stop the show.

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 Rinella.

Starting point is 01:31:10 HBO Max chose me. I sent it to Netflix. I filmed this one out of my pocket. So I believed in it so much. Where did you film it at? I filmed it in Atlanta at Center Stage. And so they wasn't doing specials. And they was like, you got to wait until next year. There's a runway.
Starting point is 01:31:26 And I was like, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to film it. I know I feel it's great. So you produced it? Everybody. I produced it. I financed it. I wrote it. I did it all myself. Troy Miller directed. Dakota Films helped me put it together.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Rick Alvarez and Steve Harris produced it with me. I took my money and I bet on myself. Then HBO Max saw it. I sent it to Netflix. HBO Max loved it. They're snobs. They don't like everybody's stuff. The fact that they called me up and they wanted to put it on
Starting point is 01:31:58 their thing, so they licensed it from me and it's on HBO Max. Historically, HBO is big and historically with comedy it it's on HBO Max.

Starting point is 01:32:10 God loves me. Yes. For independent entrepreneurs, can you describe that process of you paying your own, because a lot of, the name of the game is to always use
Starting point is 01:32:19 other people's money, right? Yeah. But unless you believe in yourself. Unless you believe in yourself. Like what we did early on in the jam. Yeah, we funded a whole drink channel. We didn't get paid for the first damn year.
Starting point is 01:32:27 But describe that to people. Describe that to people. You going to people and saying, you want to film this episode, but then they saying, no, you film it next year, and you taking your own money. I knew I had a great set,
Starting point is 01:32:38 and I wasn't going to wait. And for me, I don't like touring with the same material for more than a year. Right. I feel like I'm going to hit every city and every state, and then I want to get rid of it
Starting point is 01:32:48 because I got something new I want to do. I like bringing new shit to the audience over and over again. So I was like, the slap happened, and in three months, I had a... Chris Rock slap? Yeah. Okay, my bad.
Starting point is 01:33:00 I had a whole special about it in three months. Normally, you tour for two years. In three months, I wrote it on a stage. Chris Rock took your role, and you've been trying to get him back forever. Yeah, payback's a bitch. No, I'm joking. I love Rock.
Starting point is 01:33:12 But the way you tied everything in with your life is ill. I know, I know. Rock is not just a friend of mine, like a brother. He's a mentor. And I did this special in hopes that the three people I'm making fun of laugh the loudest. Jada, Will, Chris.
Starting point is 01:33:29 I hope they enjoy the journey because I did it with love. And I just wrapped it up in an envelope of laughter. It ends that way. Yes. People have to watch it all the way through to get the love at the end. Because I'm not a hater. I love them. But I'm just telling the truth about our journey.
