Now, when you're talking about funny, funny, funny, this guy's got to be one of the funniest people on the planet. His Netflix special, there's not a moment on that special

where tears wasn't coming out of my eyes. Literally, from his prostate exam to talking about his kids. Yeah, it was good. And then he said in his special,

fuck them kids. I said, holy shit, I never heard that. The man is funny, funny. When Dave Chappelle produced, holy shit, I never heard that. The man is funny, funny. When Dave Chappelle produced, you know, got a chance to produce for something other than himself, Dave Chappelle said that was the first person he

thought of. He owned a club and was booking Dave Chappelle. The man has been doing this 31 years, I want to say, in comedy, and has never had a dull moment that I saw. So in case you don't know who the fuck we talking about,

we talking about the one, the only, motherfucking Earthquake in the building! God damn it, man. Listen, man, it's loud as a motherfucker. AC ain't get here yet. Yo, AC ain't get here.

Holy shit. Oh, man. Oh, man. We're taking it back. So what's going on, Earthquake, man? Is it 31 years of comedy? Oh, man. Oh, man. You're taking it back. So, yeah. So, what's going on, Earthquake, man? Is it 31 years of comedy? Yeah, man. I got into this in 91 when I got out of the military, you know.

And, you know, I was in that motherfucker for about nine years. Military? Yeah, the Air Force, right? And you was doing comedy in the Air Force, wasn't you? Well, I was, you know, doing anything not to work. I'm that dude. You know, I'm a skater. You know what I mean?

You don't send me no air. I'm not that physical lady. You know what I mean? You need a man in here to fix something. I ain't your nigga. You know what I'm saying? I outsource shit.

You know what I mean? I ain't that dude. You know what I mean? You're out to China back there? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I picked the motherfucker when they first get over the border.

Look here. My mother wanted me to clean my room. How much you charge me? I'm that dude. So, the impulse. Yeah, let's talk about the impulse for a second. Yeah, I was in that joint for nine years. I was going to do 20 years, but the war broke out.

So, I told them niggas, I don't mind practicing for the war. Yeah, niggas was going to war for real. I said, hey, Slim. I could have stayed at home and got shot at. You didn't want a War. Yeah, niggas was going to war for real. I said, hey Slim, I could have stayed at home and got shot at. He's got a job. Yeah, just get out my mama house.

You know what I mean? Fuck that. So, it was cool. It was one of the best experiences because coming from D.C. is segregated, you know?

Right. And, you get to see the world as bigger. When you say segregated, you talking about black people? Just all black. Everything black. Everything black. Segregated that way. bigger. When you say segregated, you talking about black, white people? Just all black. Everything black.

Everything black. Segregated that way. You know, thank you. And so it got me, let me see the world at 17, 18, and on they dime, you know what I mean? And that's what I did.

And I was like, let me see what's happening. And, you know, I knew it was a great place to start. They didn't say shit about finish. So I was in that bitch just trying to find, you know, what am I going to do? And do this for a while. Get out your motherhouse.

Get paid. She was arguing at you for free. Might as well go to these niggas and get a call at you for a check. You know what I'm saying? That's a good way of looking at it. Yeah. No, really. My man got popped, you know, in the game.

So, you know, they was locking everybody up for their illegal pharmaceuticals. So I just said, fuck it, let me try it out. So I just went in there and joined, dog, and said, what can I do to leave today? And I passed the test. They said, you can be an air traffic controller. I said, when can I be one? My office said, well, it'll take about nine months

for us to get you in the cloud. I said, what do y'all got today That I can leave today Them niggas said Loading missiles I said I'll take it And that's what I did Loading missiles

I loaded nuclear weapons For a living Oh man Yeah man On B-52s That's some scary shit So it Hold on

Could you have Dropped something Yeah I dropped one Look at the fuck They gotta be ignited They gotta like Make them live or something

I'm sure it's still scary as fuck they have to drop from an altitude for the kill switch to go nuclear weapons are some of the most

safest munitions that we got but it does give you a different perspective that you can in the world know that man

has the ability to destroy the world cause everything you you know that man has the ability to destroy the world because everything you, you know, we coming up God, you know, you know, 40 days,

40 days, you know, I ain't nothing prehistoric bullshit. These motherfuckers got, you know, I was loading motherfucking missiles

and bombs that could drop in on Miami, kill everybody in this bitch and we could still occupy this bitch in 30. Did you ever use one that actually they used?

No. No, what you do is, you know, I used to say this all the time, what they have is, they do it, they call it the elephant walk. And what you have to do is change all the munitions in different aircrafts when it's, you know, each time when it's on alert.

Because all our planes's on alert. Because all our planes are on alert, and what you do, you change the different munitions in them to let, you know, different capability in case what you have to do. So what they do is, you know, the planes, B-52s, B-1s, they just go, what we call the elephant walk, go up and down the fucking runway Just up and down The taxiway

Now if that bitch take off That's your ass Right But usually they just Taxi back down And then you park them But if they take off That means

It's like dress rehearsal Oh yeah It's just But if you see it take off You know what time it is Oh you know what's up That's why you run to A motherfucking girl

Like listen We out 45 minutes I don't know Who this nigga you waiting on But he ain't coming. Might as well fuck me right now. What is that, an edible? Yeah, I got it.

Hold on, who else took an edible on? Mike Tyson? I got the Mike Tyson bite here. Yeah, Mike Tyson, yes. In case you want to try those. I'll try one of them bite you. Yeah, yeah. Mike Tyson dug us out.

Yeah. He had him on the show. He forced us to do it. He was like, yeah. Oh, yeah. He forced us to do shrooms. Yeah, he. Mike Tyson dug us out. Yeah. He had him on the show. He forced us to do it. He was like, yeah. Oh, yeah. He forced us to do shrooms. Yeah, he forced us to do shrooms.

I looked at him, I said, nah, I ain't going to say no. I was hanging around Dave and them motherfuckers, some people around there was doing shrooms. They're like,

have you did it? I said, nah, they say you're a triad. I said, I'm a little too old to be starting new drugs. Right. I got mine where I'm at. Give me a couple of these

and shout a motherfucker scotch or some vodka. What you drinking? You some vodka? Yeah, I'm drinking some vodka. Some Ciroc. Some Ciroc. Let's drop that.

Some Ciroc. Ciroc. So, just 31 years, man. Yeah. What's the highlight of that 31 years? My special that I just did. The Netflix one.

Yes. And especially how it was done. I believe Dave called Netflix for your number. He could have called you direct. Yeah. He wanted to do it in a professional way.

Yeah, he called me, he called my agent. Well, I thought it was, you know, motherfuckers was playing a gag on me, you know, trying to get me

because they're like, Dave Chappelle wants your, wants permission to get your phone number. And the reason why he wanted it, because he wanted to produce your special. I was like, stop fucking with me. But I've been knowing Dave for a long time. You used to book him at your club, right? Yeah, when he was a young dude, man.

Paid him a lot of money. Paid him a lot of money. Because, you know, when you own a club, you know the budget. When the fucking budget comes, you're like, who is this motherfucker? You know what I mean? So I said, no, you know, you usually have people go pick him up. I said, no, I'm going to pick him up myself. Let me size this motherfucker up.

And I went and picked him up, and he was cool in a fan. So still, you know, you sit in the back. You know how you is a rapper. Let me see what bars this motherfucker got and he came up with the joke how did they white people came up the word nigga so fucking brilliant as i saw him do that i'll say yeah he the truth right and we've been cool ever since you know what's dope about comedians is i think a true comedian never stops being a comedian. You know what I mean? When we went to see Dave, off the camera

he was still just ranking on us. He was just joking. And I was just like, I love that. Marlon Wayans, we had Marlon Wayans come in. And Marlon Wayans, every time he'd come in, he'd always joke on my friend Sonny. He's not here. Sonny will be here shortly.

And he always jokes on him, Popolte. He call him Popolte. So I just love when... Is that something that you guys practice? Or it's just something that comes out natural? No, that's just naturally who we are. You know what I mean? Some people, we call them on all the time. You know what I mean? Some people,

we call them on all the time. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? Like he's trying to win the room. Right. But the true comic is it's just who they are. Right. And that's a part

of their personality. And to truly find that they really like you, they'll show it to you around. Yeah, joke around. Right, right. Other ones, you know, most of us just stand back

off of it. Right. You know, just looking back, scoring, let's see who it is. But. Other ones, you know, most of us just stand back off of it. You know, just looking back, scoring, let's see who is. But the true ones, we rank against each other, and it'd be fun. Right. It's real fun. So when y'all see each other, that's what happens? Yeah.

Mostly when the ones that don't have that fuckery in the game. Right. You understand? I understand that you're dealing with something that's subjective. Right. You know what I mean? Only different between me, Dave, Kev, and the rest of them. And I say it all the time.

These motherfuckers got an opportunity and they cashed in on it. Right. You see what I'm saying? Right. Which opened up more doors to cash in. And, you know, that's why you just got to keep on just hoping that you can get through the gatekeepers that they allow you to go through to give you the opportunity. And that's what Dave did to me. Right. What I admire about your profession is that's different from ours that we don't have.

Very few you and rappers and Jay, you can see a rapper and y'all will put him on. Y'all will go ahead, put him on a part on him, put him on your motherfucking album. A remix or something, yeah. Get you on a remix, put you on it. Comedians don't do that. Really? Oh, fuck no. I'll tell you what I'm jealous of comedians, though. I went to a show one time at Amphitheater out here,

and all the comedians was backstage getting along. I was jealous as a motherfucker. I said, ain't nobody gonna stab each other? Ain't nobody gonna push you. Comedians don't. If y'all have beef, y'all keep it between y'allself. Well, they only have, beefs are the motherfuckers

that know they ain't going to make it. Just counseling shit. Yeah. They already done met the limitation of their talent. Right. And they hating the other people up here. What I said previously,

the great ones understand it's subjective. Right. You know what I mean? It's not, there's no definite in the jokes. I tell people all the time, somebody going to find me not funny.

You just hope all them niggas don't show up at your show that night. You know what I'm saying? That's the way it is. So, you know, the ones that found out they're not going to make it or they need something for themselves to sleep or put themselves to sleep or able to keep themselves to sleep while they're not making it

is the ones that have beef. But they're talking, you know, still cheap. Wouldn't the version of how you're saying like the rappers putting on people on the remix or whatever, wouldn't the version in comedy be the opening act, the tours where you have people with you? Yeah, but that's limited part. I'm talking about the upper echelon.

I'm talking about the motherfucker that's already in the end zone. Like, I say, metaphorically, like, I have always been in the red zone. I just needed somebody to do what Dave did. Right, right. Go to the gatekeepers and say, yeah, y'all love me. Y'all need to look at this motherfucker, right? Right, that's what he get it from.

And he will say, this is who I think is funny. Like, I tell all the comedians, you ain't got to help me. Help whoever you think is funny. Help the John Jaws because if they like them, they're going to love me when they see me. So it's expanded. But they don't do it. They get in the motherfucking room. You know anybody else funny?

Close the door. No, I'm the last one. I'm telling a joke and it'll never be. You know what I'm saying? And I envy that because you see it every time. I've been, you know, like the rest of them, I'm over here, I'm just seeing hip-hop going. This is my new boy, and he produces albums.

Drake was part of Cash Money. And they said, we don't have that. You know what I mean? They don't collaborate like that. They don't sit here and build up. We don't have a Puffy. We don't have a Russell Simmons. We don't have a Russell Simmons. We don't have nobody that's facilitated with the gatekeepers that allow us to be who we are.

We got Jamie Foxx. Well, Jamie Foxx. Hey, man, I hope you stay healthy and everything. You got Foxx on. Kevin Hart. You got Kevin Hart. That's it, too. But a facilitator who ain't a comic.

Right. You see what I'm saying? You know, Russell Simmons never wanted to rap. He facilitated the genre to go with Father, you know what I mean? I'm going to go see him in Bali, I told you. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? So we don't have that.

So every step I get, I try to do that. I do it with my radio show, with Quakes House, put comedians together on there. I did it with my own comedy club. Every step I get, just to expand it. Because there are no threats to it. Oh, so your club was a comedy club? I thought it was just a club. No, it was a comedy club.

Oh, I didn't know that. It was a black comedy club. It was Uptown Comedy Club. It was in Atlanta, right? Yeah. Wow. We got up to about four clubs. You had one in Texas, right?

Yeah, we had two in Texas, two in Texas, two in Atlanta. Wow. So you helped a lot of comics through that. Yes, all the comics that you see from there, I booked them at my club before the time. Is that why you think Dave wanted to pay you that respect? Because he kind of felt like you did that for him? Well, no, he saw me and Vlad was going at it, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah?

And it was about him. Oh. And, you know, Vlad was wrong. What would Vlad say? Well, Vlad was under the pressure, you know, when Dave Chappelle

went up against Viacom about Comedy Central and the rest of it about his show, the Chappelle show. Right. And Vlad's position was, as the establishment,

you know, he, you know, Viacom paid him for it and they shouldn't have to pay him anything else. Right. Based upon,

you know, what the agreement was. And my shit is, you're out your fucking mind. Right. If that motherfucker make that, they need to spread that money with him. Right.

He made them what it is. Right. And you need to pay and break the bread. And then he come with that old shit, me and Vlad are cool. He come with that. Look at all the people that they invest in and the shirt don't work. I said, well, then again, that speaks volumes too. It did work, so he shouldn't be paid anymore.

It should be an exception when it works. He shouldn't be given more because it worked. You can't hold him accountable because you got bad executives who don't know talent that keep on making these motherfuckers shows that don't stay on the air.

Right. And then when a brother breaks through and get his on and it's a phenomenon, you're going to still keep him at the basic part and don't spread the blood. Hell yeah,

he should do that. And then we went with it for about 20 minutes. Then I said, we just got to agree to disagree, motherfucker. Because you got your mind. He said, pose this interview with me and you. Hit it.

Would you come back? I said, motherfucking right, my dude. I'll be right here with this motherfucker. You need to break that bread. And it was just that simple. So he saw that, and he called me up. And Dave. Dave Chappelle.

Yeah, Dave called me. And the rest of it was history. And I knew this was the opportunity that could change the dynamic of my career, you know, to get it. So I took that mental and cut 37 minutes. No cut on it. Just period.

No editing. What you seen in my special was what I seen at night. One take quick. Wow. Really? Hell yeah. Because most specials

is several takes. They'll do a couple shows and take from the best. No, we did the first one and we had another show and they said, you don't even need that one, but we're going to do it.

And we did it. That's great. First time, because I understood the significance of it. And we did it. That's great. First time, because I understood the significance of it. I understood, you know, the eyes when somebody... And you wrote that material,

sorry, you wrote that material as soon as you got the call? Or how does that process... No, I mean, the process is I rotate material every year anyway because I don't have a TV show.

Right. So I have to go see my fans once a year. So you can't say I'm like y'all. I can't sing the same song that gave me a hit. I envy y'all niggas on that shit too. I love to use some of these jokes.

But yeah, so I was all ready. Now it was just I was ready. Only decision is which material I wanted to use to put it out for. And that. Now it was just, I was ready. Only decision is which material I wanted to use to put it out for. And that's what it was. Man, damn, one take? One take quick.

That's crazy. That's my name. One take quick, baby. Wow. One take quick. I ain't going to lie. I got to give him a thumbs. Yeah, man.

No editing or nothing on that. Nothing. We ain't editing this shit neither. No, man, one take quick, baby. Yo, man, our show is about giving people their flowers Yeah, no editing or nothing nothing we edit initiative Our show is about giving people a flowers already here So we wanted to give you your flowers face to face man to man and show you that love Hey, let's beware Snoop Dogg said it's like a Grammy Because it comes from your people It comes from your own people We're just in my brand new house That's right

My birthday That's right Happy birthday May 29th I'm May 28th Go ahead man I'm talking about life You're a Gemini

So you know what I'm talking about My wife's birthday is June 3rd Gemini too We're Gemini My wife's birthday is June 3rd. Jim and I too. We're Jim and I. My son's June 4th. So, I know we spoke about it a little bit, but

can we talk about the process of making of the timing, of the material because when I looked at the special again, I watched it again today. I watched the first day it came out. You know what I mean? I was so excited about it, but then I watched it again today, and it's like your timing. That's like, you like Biggie Smalls when it comes to

timing. My favorite rapper. Yeah, that is? I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Holy shit. And happy birthday to Biggie, too. Oh, Biggie, my man. You know how Biggie will always hit the perfect note at the perfect time, And that's how it is. So how do you develop that? Is it reading the room? I don't know. No, it's a God-given talent. It just comes.

You know what I mean? Wow. And the reason, you know, this was no epiphany. You know, I never thought, I knew I would do something, but I never knew it would be this. You know what I mean? Right. And I tried this one day, and nothing better came. What, try comedy?

Yes, comedy. Yes, thank you. Try comedy, and it never, you know, nothing better has never came. And I was with Steve Harvey, and, you know, Steve was my man. I said, let me try this shit. I knocked on his door. He was in, you know. Did he have on a suit?

No, that's when he was broke. Oh, he was broke. He didn't have suits? No, he had suits, but he didn't have suits. He had cross-colored joints. Yeah, he was. I caught him. He was.

I caught that motherfucker. He was just on some jeans. I need to see this Yeah back in the day You know Knocked on the door You know This was when Steve

Became Steve But Steve always Believed in Steve Most confident man I ever met in my life Wow Knocked on the door And you could tell

He Where he was at In his career Cause outside the door Is the parking lot You know what I mean So I knocked on the door He had a knife I was like Nigga ain't no lot. You know what I mean? I knocked on the door. He had a knife.

I'm like, nigga, ain't no way I'm going to lie to you. So I say, man, my name is Earthquake, you know, and I want to do some comedy. And I was still in the military. And he was like, all right, we'll be cool about it. And then to make the story, we get into it. You know, you go to comics. They write their jokes,

they like, punchline, punchline. I was trying to write this shit, and it wouldn't come. Steve was like, no, you were gifted. That shit come out your mouth already.

Just let it flow. Once he gave me that, that too has been on every sense. So that's how I do it. Whatever comes, I formulate it. It's like a movie and I see it

and then I interpret what I see with my eyes and then I tell it to the audience. That's how I do it. So I have never physically written a joke ever. I just take a premise.

Like a Biggie Smalls. Yeah. I know. I hit that on the nose. I'm patting myself on the back of that one. That's Biggie Smalls. That's Biggie Smalls shit.

Take a premise and I elaborate. That's why if you ever come to my shows, know the joke is told the same way because you take it from a premise and lie. You know, it's like a lie and you elaborate on it. Right, right. Take it from a base of truth and just put more shit to it.

And every time you tell it, it just get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And that's how I did it. And that's how I do it. Now, when you come up tell it, it just get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Right. And that's how I did it. And that's how I do it. Now, when you come up with your material, is it always real stuff

or do you sometimes... Real stuff, I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, of course. Oh, you the niggas that be watching that shit?

Yeah, nigga, I be watching Hannity and all that. You got to because... I watch Twitter. I'm from the military, man. You can't win a war unless you get reconnaissance.

You got to see what they think of you. One thing about my Caucasian friends, they going to tell you what's wrong. They the most complaining motherfuckers in the world. So they going to let you know exactly. They going to complain. They going to bitch like a game. They going to bitch for a while, man.

Fucking come on. Let me tell you about him. One time we both were on the plane. I'm in first class. He in the back. The plane ain't take off for 40 minutes. We get off the plane. He got a $500 voucher.

Yeah. We on the same motherfucking plane. Yeah. He got a $500 voucher. Put a camera on Diego, man. Put a camera on this guy. Fucking plane him, bro. I tell my white friends all the time, I don't want to be white, but I sure want your benefits.

The benefits of being a white man. Get the fuck out of here. It's beautiful. Now, speaking of that, we had Bert Kreischer on the other day, right? Do you think it's harder for a black comedian, or is it just as hard

as a white comedian, or do they have it easier? It's harder for a black comedian because they own all the establishments. as hard as a white comedian? Or do they have it easier? It's harder for a black comedian because they own all the establishments. So you got to understand, we don't own any comedy clubs. That's what made me want to get my own. Probably about two or three left in the country now.

So the major chains are, you know, Funny Bones and... Comedy Store. Comedy Store. Improvs. Improvs and that, which are owned by my Caucasian friends. So, you know, it's easier for them because they're the majority.

And they have 52 of the weeks. We're just trying to get one or two of them. So very few of us. I say it's about 12 black comedians, 14 at the most, that works regularly in them clubs. Wow. The other one is for white dudes, white comedians, 14 at the most, that works regularly in them clubs. The other one is for white dudes, white comedians. And if you don't have a following,

and you can't put ass in seats, then you won't break into those clubs. And if you do, then you have to change your comedy based upon the constituents that come from the clubs. You know what I mean? So it's easier for them that way, I would think. Okay.

Does every comic have to go through the chitlin' circuit, or is there ways to cut through that? No. I mean, some of the biggest black comedians didn't ever go through the chitlin' circuit. Dave Chappelle. Tiffany Haddish. Tiffany Haddish.

Yeah. Kevin. Not Kev, Kev.dish Kevin Not Kev Kev Kev I seen Kev early I did Kev's first movie With him Paper Soldiers

Yeah And I went to one of his shows It was like four people there Yeah Like in the beginning That's why that's my name I remember that That's not the circuit

That's not the circuit That's not the circuit I thought I thought like No There's more venues Down south, isn't it? Yeah, if you just, like you said,

just because you got four people don't mean you on the chick-a-litz. Oh, okay, my bad. I thought that meant small venues. Chick-a-litz is when you go in here

Before we do Quick time with slime comedians always have this one night where they had a terrible night where they bombed do you remember the first time you bombed or have you ever bombed i have never bombed okay but i have been frightened okay what does that exactly mean well frightened is nigga you ain't to get a chance to boo me. Getting the fuck out of here. You abandon shit?

Yeah, nigga, see y'all niggas later. You won't get the benefit of booing me, nigga. Who happened to cry in the street? Apollo Theater. Apollo, holy shit. New York City, that guy. It got to be New York. New York City. I heard one fucker call.

Good night. Got to fuck about it yeah but no that's why I don't write long jokes you know what I mean I look at my shit like Aaron Pryde just keep hitting at you throwing throwing to the bell ring

when the time is up you know what I mean no I've never had a night show whatever just bomb bomb not like some of these motherfuck, I've, I done had aight shows, whatever, just bomb, bomb. Nah? Not like some of these motherfuckers I seen. Whew. Heroic, oh.

I be like, nigga, tap out. You can leave. Some of them motherfuckers stay up there and take it. My pride can't take that. You know, I'm proud for motherfuckers. That's why my name is Earthquake. Right. Because I only named myself Earthquake just in case this shit didn't work. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Heard you say that. So you ain't fuck up your name. No, I ain't fucking up my name is Earthquake. Because I only named myself Earthquake just in case this shit didn't work.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I heard you say that. So you ain't fuck up your name. No, I ain't fucking my name. No, I ain't fucking my name, man. So if this shit don't work, motherfucker, what's up, Earthquake? I don't know that nigga.

My name Nathaniel. Right. Yeah, that kind of shit. You know what I mean? So I run that way. So I didn't have too much faith. Like I said, I just took the shit as it came. You know what I mean?

We doing quick time? Yeah, but before we get into that, because what do you feel about Instagram comedians, right? Because one time we had Mike Epps here, and one of the Instagram comedians came here, and it was like Mike just tore his ass up. I don't think he did it because he's on Instagram. I think he did it because I think Mike Instagram. I think he did it because...

He was hazing him because he was just an up-and-comer. Yes, I think he was like, you're an Instagram comedian? I'm going to show you what a comedian is in real life. He kind of fried the guy. He told him, he said, you was almost a midget. So you're halfway there. Mind you, I could be looking at this in a different way. But I looked at it like Mike was teaching him.

Like, listen, we're real comedians. You're an Instagram comedian. And he kind of torched him. Do you feel like these Instagram comedians, they get millions of followers, but then they'll get on stage and it's not like that? Well, I tell Instagram comedians all the time, it ain't how many followers you got. It's how many comedians can you follow. Until you can get up at that motherfucker and go behind four comedians,

a fashion show, their little niece singing, show started two hours late. You ain't a comic. You understand what I'm saying? So I have no problem with the process of getting your popularity through instagram right but that ain't the requirement to be a comedian right because you don't have instant critique that's what live comedian is i could say that

joke and you instantly tell me that shit wasn't working. You don't get that as an Instagram comedian. You hide behind and dropping it off here with skits. That's how we get down. Now, you can use that to leverage or promote who you are, but that does not make you one of us. And some of the older Gs take it personally because they feel that they haven't paid their dues or went through the process to be this what's called a comedian. And I have no problem with that. Whatever way you can do it, get it. But you still have to jump on that stage and be able to tell that joke. And ain't nothing like being on that motherfucker.

You know how long a minute is when your ass is on that stage and that joke ain't funny. Right. A minute is a long motherfucker time. Yeah, it is. It's a long motherfucker time. See, y'all got dancers. What? Y'all got let the DJ play.

You understand? Right, right, right. Y'all can go ahead and you don't like your song, play another nigga's song. Yeah. Play his beat. Nah, comic, man. We up that bitch us by ourselves. They don't want to hear our best hit.

They don't want to hear none of that shit. They want to hear newer's. You got to touch these motherfuckers. And we need their undivided attention. How about Heckless? I have no problem with them. How do you handle them? Do you handle them?

Oh, I handle them very well. You understand? I told them the money pays the same. You either could watch the show or be the show. I get paid the same. I get paid the same. To watch the show

or be the show. That's hard. You understand? That is hard. To watch the show or be the show. Only one nigga leaving here with that check.

Right, right. Remember what Burt was telling us about the hecklers? Of Miami? Who remembers that? Oh, oh, oh, oh. The guy taking down his pants and shit? Oh, Right, right. Remember what Bert was telling us about the hecklers? I forgot. In Miami? Who remembers that? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. The guy taking down his pants and shit?

Just bring the real one. Charlie Murphy or Donnell Rollins? Oh, man. Shots. Just make sure you put me in my first class. Okay. In Living Color or Mad TV? Living Color.

Bernie Mac or Patrice O'Neal? Bernie. Yeah, you go to the next two. You can do the next two. Deon Cole or D. Ray Davis? Deon. And the last one is loyalty or respect

loyalty loyalty you wanna explain why this shit ain't working this whole show you see this shit I'm a bad loyalty is the most

essential part of any fucking relationship, man. Respect, for me, is fluent. I only respect you because you respect me. Once you no longer respect me, I don't respect you. You don't matter to me at all. So what you say don't matter. You need to say that to some motherfucker out here who gives a fuck what you think. See, respect is I respect what you think.

I give you that already. But once you show me no respect, in no time, then I don't respect you. You don't exist. But loyalty is different. That's the person that's going to hold you down no matter what situation it is. It doesn't, it's not fluent. It's steady. It's there from day one to end.

Very few people are loyal. If you find loyalty, respect comes with it. And more, it can't, those two things cannot. It's not like he's saying both to me. You understand? Check it out for that. Oh, God damn it. We more, it can't, those two things cannot. Sounds like he's saying both to me. You understand? We just want a drink. You know what, damn it. Sounds like he said both to me.

That led us all to both. Led us all to both? Okay, I'll take that. Now me and you got something else in common. What's that? I believe we both liked Donald Trump's tax break. Of course. That was pretty gangster.

It was beautiful for me and my business. I'm just being honest with you. Because I'm 50-50 with Trump. You keep changing it up. Yeah, sometimes I hate him. I hate all the racist shit about him. Anything racist about them.

But when it comes to like... I had broke friends when Trump was in office. My broke friends disappeared. They got money somehow. They are back. Broke. They are back. I agree.

I agree. I agree. If we don't talk it, I agree. I agree. I agree. If we don't talk it, I agree. I was a Republican. You got to understand. I read you was a Republican. Yeah. And now you're an independent.

I'm an independent. But I have always been a Republican. Okay, you a Republican because of the military background? No, because I just... You got to explain this. We're flawed people. There is no way you're going to help everybody. It's the fixity.

And you can't make a fucking program to help everybody. The fixity. Prime example. Who was president when you was a Republican? Ooh, Ronald Reagan. You was a Reagan Republican? I'm a Reagan Republican. I was with Reagan.

I ain't going to lie. I was with Reagan. You're a Reagan? I'm a Reagan. I was with Reagan. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie. You was selling cocaine at that time. Yeah, well. Well. Well. Disney, it was way back before the mouse was about. But what I'm saying is,

self, I mean, you have to take care of yourself. You can't rely. See, if I was president of the United States, I'd say this. I would love for you to be care of yourself. You can't rely. See, if I was president of the United States, I'd say this. I would love for you to be president tonight. This is what I'd tell my family. I'd vote for you. This is what I'd say.

Us as a United States government are going to give you two things. Health care. You had Obamacare. You was on Obamacare. Okay, yeah. I'm going to give you health care, nigga, and I'm going to pay for your education. Education, right. Ever than that, nigga, you're on your own. Right. education. Ever since that, nigga, you're on your own.

You're on your own. You're on your own. We're going to educate you, and we're going to make sure you stay healthy. Now, feed on the land, niggas. That's you as president. That's me as president. Free education. Free education.

And free health care. So whatever way it is, I'm going to make sure It is right here Now if you need some help We will do this We will give you A base upon What your civic is

Duty back to the government Right So if your ass Need a welfare check I need you down here Stopping buses When the kids Go across the street

And go to school Community service That's kind of fire If you ain't going to You ain't going to come, you ain't going to do that, nigga, then stay over there and starve. Yeah, that's real.

But if you got enough, you got to be on your feet because some nigga got you on your back. That was hard. It's just that truth. So when we going for president? Huh? When you going for presidency?

I ain't running for no president. I'm just, what I'm saying is, certain people need help. But certain, we all have flaws and we all have things that's wrong with us. And the government can't, it's just like, you a big head, forehead nigga. You're like, all right.

We're going to help all big forehead ass niggas because they feeling bad about themselves. And we're going to help all big forehead ass niggas because they feeling bad about themselves. And we're going to get this program to help big forehead niggas feel better. Instead, the government said, listen, nigga, see how a big forehead nigga can get paid. You just happen to be a big forehead ass nigga. That's how God made you. Ain't nothing the government can do to help you you big forehead ass nigga but we gonna help you educate and keep you be the healthy

big forehead ass nigga and the educated big head forehead exactly agency for modeling it you can't I mean and that's what democrats are they want to put a program we gotta help this person this person in here

you don't like Democrats. I mean, they both broken. Both those systems are broken. I'm talking about the system of, especially as black people. You know what I mean? But you voted for Obama. Of course. Okay, okay.

I had to vote for Barack. You had to vote for Obama. I had to. He earned it. He was the best candidate. Even if I didn't agree with a lot of his motherfucking problems. Was you a Republican then? Yes.

He was a Republican still. I was in it. That's a real black nigga. That's real black nigga. Man, I voted for him. That's real right there. Voted for him twice. Yeah, yeah.

I voted for him with my mind. With my mind. Do I actually go to the voting booth? What? I encourage everyone else to go to the voting booth. But when that nigga said $400,000, who makes $400,000 a year was rich.

I was like, hold up, nigga. That ain't rich. Let me talk to you, old BC. Put it up there. So, no. I voted for him

and I would do it again. But how about Trump? Would you, if Trump come for 2024? I never voted for him. Hold on, hold on. Come on, motherfuckers. Would you vote for Trump on 2024? I mean, you got to, who's against him, first of all? I don't see no way I could vote for Trump even though I benefit from his policies. He's too divisive in terms of- he says. No, I mean, he just

don't have my best interests. And even if I benefit off the policy you give me, still it equals to nothing because you don't have my best interests. With or without money. So I could not even, I celebrated

the tax break and I celebrated the shit that he was able to implement to help me personally. Overall, nigga, I would have left all that shit on the table because your fuck ass is, you would get me if you could. You know what I mean? He doesn't, he don't have my best interest. So, yeah, fuck him on that end. I don't see nothing I could. But you can't be feeling Sleepy Joe.

I don't. I do with Sleepy Joe because deep what I'm saying is, for me, the most strongest creature that I love is Black Woman. And he. Kamala. I have to deal with his record. He's the first man. Sleep president.

Black man. No, no. See, I fuck with results. I'm a result-oriented dude. I don't get caught in this shit. A lot of niggas take credit for shit they haven't done or they say they would do, but you can't do it because you ain't even achieved what it takes to be able to do it. So how the fuck are you going to criticize? So I take Joe as a, he's the first man

to make a black woman the vice president of the United States. He's the first man to appoint a fucking judge on the Supreme Court. That's it. He has put more black women

and black minorities, I mean minorities, in the circuit courts of the appeal courts. That only... I have to deal with that. That right there, that's a record with me. When you had the other person

who had Trump was putting everybody in this motherfucker. That was against everything that I view as my existence and everything. So yeah, if it's between him and him, he can be sleepy, he can put the taxes high, I'm just going to have to find a way to make more money to pay this nigga. Before I fuck with a nigga that I know

is hindering my growth of my people and assaulting my women, black women, the way you talked to Abby Phillips. Oh, I didn't. You told her on the fucking lawn. She asked him a question

and you say, that's a stupid question. I've been watching you for a while. You've been asking stupid ass questions. And I'm like, man,

who the fuck you think you talk? You know how hard that sister had to work to get on that grass on the Whitehall lawn for you to be talking to her like that?

He's mad. You understand what I'm saying? So when you see that, even if he... He threw toilet tissue at my people in Puerto Rico. Yeah, he threw toilet paper at the hurricane.

He motherfucking stole. 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.

you know what I'm saying, I fuck with results, not the talking. Talking is cheap. My thing with right this moment is the, and I don't want to get too political, but the issue in Ukraine because I know that, I don't like Trump, but he will take us out of that situation quicker. What do you mean?

That's another problem y'all got. The U.S. is involved with the Ukraine and the Russia right now? Ukraine is the best thing ever happened for us and I'm going to tell you why it's a motherfucker. It's the handling of Russia, right? Listen to me. Okay.

I was in the military for nine years. That's the strategic air command. We practiced everything against the Russians. Every day. Every money we didn't gave Ukraine, nigga,

And the dollar, right? Everything, everything. The only good thing is all our enemies are coming out and they saying they together been in the open now.

Yes. Actually, that is better. And it's best for Ukraine to fight them than for you, me, our kids to have to fight them. Right. And all you're doing is financing. It's definitely a proxy war. All you're doing is financing a war without your most... Big finance.

Big finance. And they say Ukraine is winning, right? Yeah, Ukraine is... Nigga, they shouldn't even be holding even. Wow. No, they really shouldn't. They shouldn't even be holding even. Because Ukraine's a small country. They should have lost the war technically within the first few days. First few weeks. He thought he was going to go through that bitch slapping round.

So let's talk about the Quake show for a second. Yes. Quake House, right? Quake House. Okay. Sirius XM. Yes. Channel 96 on Kevin Hart's Laugh Out Loud radio.

Wow. Yeah, Kevin made me his flagship show. I bring comedians together, and we do just what y'all are doing. We don't have this much liquor, but we got some. But comedians bringing up different subjects, and we elaborate on hot topics, that type of thing. Right. And it's funny.

I mean, it's fun. It's funny. And there's also, like I said previously, a platform for other comedians to get a platform to show how funny they are. Because see, that's how I used to sell jokes. That's what I learned from Steve too. I used to get on the morning show and crush it.

And then motherfuckers would say, who was that motherfucker on the radio? We got to go see him man. He's going to be at the improv tonight. And then you let your jokes from the radio be so funny that it carry over to the club and that's how i used to do it so i try to you know see and give comedians a chance to get on and it's called quake house kick it in my house till you get to yours and bring comedians in there and we have a good time and talk about serious subjects such as politics

all the way down to your woman sleeping with your best friend. Hold up. Hold up. Wait a minute. Yeah. Holy moly guacamole. I wasn't ready. Go ahead.

Continue. No, really. We talk about all that. You know, what would you do if you lost your motherfucking woman to your best friend? Right. You know? Now, let me ask you, being that you guys are on Kevin Hart's show, if you have jokes

about Kevin Hart, do you still use it? Yeah, Kev got a sense of humor. Kev good. You can't disrespect the boss. Right, right.

But if it's funny, you know what I mean? Kev ain't that kind. Kev is a real comedian. He's a good dude, man. So, you know, I would never, ever let nobody disrespect him. But if it's a real comedian. He's a good dude, man. So, you know, I would never, ever let nobody disrespect him.

But if it's a joke, that's funny. No one is above a joke. Because, like, you know his controversy that he had, right? You wouldn't play with that? Because I see Michael Blackson playing with him like that. Yeah, but him and Michael Blackson is more than jokes. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

If it's jokes, then it is. But we don't do no segment on it. We wouldn't do that. Like Fox News wouldn't bring up, they would sue for $787 million. They ain't talking about it. You understand? It's just not who it is. It's not their news.

It's not, I mean, it's not common sense. You're on his platform. It's respect and loyalty. Like I said previously, you need to do that. And I can find other things that's funny, more compelling, than have to go to that. I'm not limited to that. Right. And see, that's what I tell them is, if you don't have nothing else than that, then I get it.

But if you're just doing that because that's that, then you have to find another place to hang out at. Is there such thing as going too far with a joke? No. No? No. Once it's not funny, that's what I say. Okay. You can tell when you're the only one laughing.

Nigga, there ain't a joke no more. You understand? But if everybody's cracking up, there it is. So I would say when no one is laughing but you, that's too far. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Okay. You should be the last one laughing at it.

All right. And if everybody else dying in it, it ain't too far. All right. And they should be able to take it. I'm taking a shot for that. I'm sorry. Okay. You got another shot?

I'm being honest. That was great. That was great. That was great. Was there such a thing called too soon? No. Like having a Michael Jackson joke 13 minutes after he passed away.

Donnell Rollins, we call that nigga too soon. Because he, Donnell don't give a fuck. Donnell, you died in 1205, 1206, he got one foot. We call that nigga too soon. I see him use the F word on stage.

He, look, Donnell Rollins is, we call that nigga too soon. Too soon? But that's the beautiful Of our art Nigga once you give it to We the third eye You understand

And if it's factual Nigga who are you To tell us when We should talk about it You making jokes At funerals Huh You making jokes

At funerals I talked about Aretha Franklin Oh yeah You said She had a marathon Funeral Like her shit Her shit lasted Three weeks Talked about Aretha Franklin. Oh, yeah. You said she had a marathon funeral. Listen, man, I was able to talk about Aretha Franklin's funeral, shooting Trump supporters.

Right. I like that, too. And saying, fuck your kids. And fuck your kids. All in one. And everybody understand. You a robber, you understand. Pick a way you get at that point.

It ain't harsh. Right. That's where you at from that perspective. So, hell yeah. Hell yeah. If it's a funeral, I'm going to get it. Be myself. I know what's funny and I'm going to get you.

You're like, and then I have the ultimate comeback. Fuck you. That was funny. That's if it doesn't work? Well, if you just don't want to laugh because you feel it's inappropriate. Fuck you. That's if it doesn't work? Well, if you just don't want to laugh because you feel it's inappropriate, fuck you. That's funny. You understand what I'm saying?

You ever stepped on stage knowing this is probably Mike could go south? It's a possibility all of them are. But you really don't care. Once you start pandering to your audience, me, myself,

I think you're going down the slipperiest road. Because you be sayingering to your audience, me, myself, I think you're going down the slipperiest road. Because you be saying things in your special, like, these ain't jokes. These ain't jokes. Like, you put it in a comedic sense, but the delivery is comedic, but you're actually talking about real life situations. Right. Because we all feel that. I mean, you elaborate from the factual,

and then, of course, you bloviate and making the shit funny and going over the board on it comedically. But the factual root of it is the truth. Okay. Black people have long-ass funerals. Right. You're like, come on now.

Right. Let it go. He's supposed to be with Jesus. One more song? Yeah. One more, motherfucker. She's supposed to be with Jesus One more song One more motherfucker She's supposed to be with Jesus She's supposed to be with the Lord So long time she got to the game

She's supposed to be with the Lord The angel said God gone He said the preacher He said the preacher preached the whole Bible The whole Bible From the beginning to the end. Who was in trouble in the beginning? It's over.

Yeah, and when you sit there, you're like, come on, Pastor. Let it go. And to hold them that long, and you metaphorically, you take it, actually God waiting for you because you know what we say,

he's waiting for you at the pearly gates and you get there and they even say, God, come on, because you've been down there too long. He can touch you on Thursday. It's next Thursday. You ever seen that meme where, like, a guy's walking into heaven, but hell sounds like it's popping? Right. Yeah.

Nobody ever seen that meme? The guy, he's like, he's walking into heaven, but they like damn man Hell seem like it's gotta leave What if hell is late? Let's just say what if we take this Man, you see heaven in it. Yeah, it's heaven in it. My hair held at me and popped. It's a little hot, but it's popping. Hell, I clubbed live out this motherfucker.

It's a little hot, but it's popping. What happens if hell was actually the shit to go to? This is the weirdest conversation I've ever had. Would you go, though? That's the question. I don't know. He's at it. Would you take a chance?

I don't know. Because that's your eternity. I'll take a shot. Yeah, I'll take a shot. I'll take a shot. I'll go ahead and go in there because I know my mom ain't in hell. Damn, you still came here.

I said, I know my mom ain't there. Let me go in here with this. Go through that door. That's the door I'll take. That would be funny though, right? Not really. If heaven is boring, you're like, damn, I should have just went to hell.

And you hear the music and you're like, damn, I should have been down there. You're over here trying to bribe an agent. How you get out of here? What is next, trying to get to Georgia? You know, man, how you get out of here? When I was coming in here, boy, I saw that door and said, hell, how you get out of here?

I think I made the wrong choice to be all this fluffy shit. Now, what is, what do you get more thrilled at? Doing shows or making the material? Putting it together? Or performing the material? Performing it is when you get into that creative mode.

Like, I'm about to do another special with Dave. And Netflix? Netflix. Let's make some fucking noise. God damn it. Make some fucking noise. God damn it. Let's make some fucking noise. Yeah, we're going to come back to golf. That mean the first one.

Yeah, Walter Latham. We're coming for it. And do it in Atlanta. Walter Latham? Is that the guy that... I mean, Walter... I'm going to drink now. Walter Latham is the dude from King of Comic.

Stan Latham. Stan Latham. Stan Latham, yeah, yeah. He exactly produced this one. Yeah, yeah, he produced this shot. That's the guy

from Deaf Comedy Jam? Yeah, Deaf Comedy did all of Dave Chappelle's specials. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, he's shooting a special.

You got Stan in there, man. Yeah, it was a pleasure. That's my man. Shit, Stan been known since Richard Pryor. Right. Red Fox.

Stan's the man. So, yeah, we're going to do that. And I'm looking forward to it. What are you going to do it this time? I'm going to do it in Atlanta. Yeah. That's where I started my comedy career. I had to do D.C. in case this shit don't work again.

I can still be famous at home. Right. That's why I shot D.C. You going to do DC in case this shit don't work again. I could still be famous at home. Right. That's why I shot DC. You going to do the Onyx? Fuck no. I'm trying to get away from those strip clubs, man.

I'm rehabilitated. If I did any in strip clubs, it'd be magic. Magic? Oh, yeah. Forgot about magic. Shout out to Michael Bonner.

That's my friend. Matter of fact, I met him, the Magic, when I first came to Atlanta. And we've been friends since then. But yeah, I'm going to shoot it in Atlanta.

In Atlanta. Talking about Atlanta, the homie New Face sent a question. Okay. And he's saying, to ask about Spencer Neal, how'd you pick him? Still sharp and still. And I have always picked the hottest young comedians to open for me.

Because they keep it relevant. When they get on that stage and they kill that shit, you know, a lot of comedians take motherfuckers that they know are sorry

to open for. To look better. No, just the comfortability. It's uncomfortable going behind funny motherfuckers every night.

You got to hurt. You know what I'm saying? You would love to just leave your motherfucking house flying and everybody love you. You know what I'm saying? You love to just leave your motherfucking house flying. Everybody love you. You understand? You got a motherfucker up there, knock, knock, man.

We didn't want to quit. We didn't want to quit. If you put that funny dog in front of that motherfucker, he hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah. You know when you land, competitor to competitor, I got to be on my shit. Right. And that helps you. You understand? You know when you land, competitor to competitor, I got to be on my shit. And that helps you.

You understand? So the reason why, to answer his question, Spencer Neal is because he's a funny young comedian. And I know every night, you know, he's going to come and be funny. So that's going to make me, at the minimum, maintain me and be funny but raise my shit on up. You know what I mean? Right. And I have always put the funniest motherfuckers up and told them and never restricted them. Some comedian, you can't talk about this.

Don't talk about that. Stepping on this. Stepping on that. And don't do this. Do you. Right. Do you, man. Get them.

They should come seeing me and leave thinking about you. Say, yeah, Quake was great. But I got to see that young motherfucker in the future. That is your objective. And that is your objective. And you're not offending me by having that objective. I want that for you. That's the reason why you opened it for me.

That's the reason why I'm providing this opportunity for you. Because I'm going to be all right. No matter what you do to them motherfuckers right now, I'm quite going to be all right. I believe that. But it still doesn't stop me from giving you that opportunity. And that's the problem we don't have in our family. That means hell.

A young version of you, who were the comedians that you looked up to that made you really laugh? I don't watch a lot of comedians because I don't write. When you don't physically write, you have to keep your shit pure because you don't want to come up with something and you heard it by hearing another motherfucker's shit.

But before even you writing, before even this is a career, who made you laugh? I wasn't even into comedy like that. So you wasn't even looking at anybody at all? No. Not your parents? My parents did, but I ain, you don't hang with me.

I ain't hanging with my parents. I mean, was it funny? They say Richard Pryor, but we didn't have to. They never educated you on it on here. I was doing my own little different things off of it. I knew who he was, but I didn't indulge in what he does. Right, you wasn't so into it like that. Yeah, it was a part of like...

It was the background. Richard Pryor, Earth, Wind & Fire. You know, it was different shit of entertainment we did, but not indulge into, that nigga's a comedian, and he this, this, and this. That's a dude who tell jokes, and today we're going to listen to music. So you didn't have a favorite comedian growing up?

No. Get out of here. No, this is, like I said, this was no epiphany. This was just, and if I can say anything on this motherfucker ever, man. This was just the best decision that day. Wow. Get on stage and see, can I see, see, can I do this? And nothing better came.

Not premeditated. No. Just in that moment. No. And that's where I tell my fucking fuck. And I don't want to fuck with people with these gold shit. Right.

But live your life, nigga, and make the best decision that day. Right. And if a better one don't come the next day, stay with the one you did yesterday and keep riding it. You understand?

Because it's life. Right. You know what I mean? If it. You understand? Because it's life. You know what I mean? If it makes you comfortable, then it's right. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I knew I was going to do something. I never imagined it would be this. I never planned this.

That's why I don't take care of my family. None of them motherfuckers know. Nobody say, you're as funny as a penis. Some motherfucker could have gave me some have pulled me to the side. You know, nigga, this Richard Pryde, nigga. You got that kind of skill. Because you hear all these niggas, they got stories.

My mother took me to the comedy club and stayed with me. And I ain't getting none of that shit. You know what I'm saying? It was the best. Let me try this shit. See what's popping. You understand what I'm saying? I'm not, I ain't getting none of that shit. You know what I'm saying? It was the best. Let me try this shit. See what's popping. You understand what I'm saying? I'm not that Nick.

For some reason, don't roll with me. Even with the motherfuckers who I have showed promise in this, have not supported it. Wow. You understand? That show. You got two of the biggest dudes that got your back. Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle. And that's this fucking shit.

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.

No, thank you. Thank you. Salute. I'll take a drink on that. I'm going to take a drink on that, too. You wrong, nigga. You wrong, nigga. Now, is performing therapeutic for you? Yes.

Definitely when I went through my divorce. Aegis Elbow? Oh, worse. No, I'm talking about that guy. He's trying to figure out the person. My bad. See, I'm overlooking that nigga. Yeah, that nigga, no look bad.

Worse. Nah, nah. What's Aegis, man? Aegis is 100. Aegis wouldn't do that to me When I seen Aegis speak London Aegis wouldn't do that to me

I was hurt I thought he was on the wire You heard him speak London I thought he was on the wire Wait what did you hear him speak That's my I heard him speak London Aegis is the smoothest nigga

In the world I was mad as shit I was like Yo that's that new shit What's his name on the wire Yeah that nigga Bell Bell

He's speaking the queen's English I know a lot the wire? Yeah, that nigga. Bell, Bell. He's speaking the Queen's English. I know a lot of niggas. Glad that nigga got married. Got his name off the list, nigga. That nigga is the smoothest. No, Eagles wouldn't do that to me. Yeah, no, the wire was ill.

But is comedy therapeutic for you? Very much so. Okay. They helped me through a lot of shit. Right. They helped me through everything. The death of my mother, my divorce. You could say,

why you lose on your club, right? Yeah, I did a lot of shit. The first session I heard she say, he don't pay his taxes? Yeah, she did. But she helped me by doing that, though. Okay, because then you paid your taxes. Because, nigga, I had to go there and see Uncle Sam. One-on-one. And I'm straight now. I'm in appliance. and see on the side. Yeah. One-on-one. And I'm straight now.

I'm in appliance. That's what they say. We're good. So, no, she helped me. But, yeah, it's therapeutic for me because I'm able to articulate that point of view. Releasing stuff, too. On the stage. And motherfuckers resonate with that because they're going through it too.

Because, you know, we have our point of view too. Some people have unrealistic expectations and you need to be able to articulate that in a comedic form and I'm able to do that. And it gets it off my chest that I can get paid for it

instead of laying on a couch paying a nigga for it. And that's how I look at it. Okay, it says, how did you get back here? Earthquake says, get out star actor Daniel. You just won't let it go.

Nah, someone just said this to me. What'd you ask? Chat GPT that shit? Nah, nah, nah. Sonny DBG's trying to do his job. Wow, he threw you under the bus. He's trying to do his job. My man, Sonny, this on you.

He's like, okay, all right, all right, all right. Yeah, but we good. That's my man. We good? We good, but he got me. Okay, he got me, but we good. After Get Out came out, he told you Get Out. Yeah.

Damn. But he's my man. Yeah, you foul, man. Yeah, I know. I like that metaphor. Yeah, he's my man. He a man, though. Yeah,'s my man Yeah you foul man Yeah I know I like that metaphor Yeah he's my man He a man though Yeah he my man He was always my man

I wasn't his man But I was I was always So let me ask you right One time I'll say I'll say his name If I have to

But um I was in I was in Uh Oakland But I was doing A reggaeeton show. Okay. And what's ironic about it, it was a reggaeton artist that said,

I'm not going on after Nori because he thought I was bigger than him because of America. Right. So he said, I'm not going on after Nori. I got to go on before Nori. I know comedians don't want to go on after you. Is that a problem for you? No. I mean.

Get it done. Because you can go on any time of the night or you prefer to be the closer? No, man. I mean, like, again, it's subjective. A show should be laid a certain way. Certain people you shouldn't put behind certain people. Because it's a flow of show. It's like music.

You want to raise the show to a level. And certain people can't follow that. Like a set list. If I'm with five or six comedians, I'm not trying to be Michael Jackson. Right. Because my mentality is between the five of us, you got your money's worth. If you value the money, I'm to value the principle of laughter. You know what I mean?

I know you're going to laugh. Right. So you paid $100, $150, whatever your ticket was, you got $150 worth if it came to Laffer with the five people we got on here. So it's back. Now, when I'm headlining and I'm the last motherfucker, it is my job to take it to

the next level because I'm last. That's just my job. But if I'm first or second, nigga, I can't throw that bitch over the back because the anchor got to That's just my job. But if I'm first or second, nigga, I ain't. You lose with it? Throw that bitch over the back. Because the anchor got to take this shit up. That's his job.

They got to close it. He got to close it. You understand? He's being compensated for. I'm not being compensated as the closer. So when you the closer, you going there with a different motherfucking set. I have to take this shit to a higher level

than all the people that went before me alright it was just that simple you prefer to be the closer or you don't really care if the money right quake the air at night

so I host it I go first I go second I go third I close this motherfucker But the price is the price He plays all roles

If the price say I go first Then the price say I go first I have no problem with it The price say last Then it's like Because it's

See I don't need all that Bannering shit Because at the end of the day It's about who's funny That's why I say You watch my special If we're talking about

Funny niggas Put funny up You understand Don't Don't judge me You know The cutest nigga The nigga that this or this

If they are making They money And holding the banner As the funniest nigga Where's they work See I believe in the work My work speaks for itself making they money and holding the banner as the funniest nigga, where's they work? See, I believe in the work. My work speak for itself.

Yes, it does. And officially, it will get to where it needs. And if it don't, my peers know. And that's all I need. I don't live above my means, nigga. Neither me or my woman.

We don't live beyond our means. So I ain't going to be on no unsung. Right. That's a motivational speech like a motherfucker. I ain no unsung. All right. That's a motivational speech like a motherfucker. Taking a shot on the world. That was a motivational speech like a motherfucker.

I ain't going to be on no unsung, baby. Salute. So I'm just going to keep on putting the work out. I'm going to take that shot, too. Yeah, I see you, Danny. He's throwing that party in hell later. I'm going to do mine.

I'm going to do it. You see what I'm saying? I'm going to just keep putting'm going to do it You see what I'm saying I'm going to just keep Putting the work on And put it in That's why my next special What's it called The Pulitzer

Pulitzer The Pulitzer Pulitzer Yes Not the Pulitzer The Pulitzer You fucked up Polygamy

The Pulitzer Pulitzer Yeah that's the best Literature just being the best book ever of the year. And it's lyrically molesting this shit called comedy. Lyrically molesting. I'm going to put that on. I made my first special called Legendary just to put the pressure on myself to meet up to that expectation. Because if it wasn't legendary,

my peers would have talked about me. This nigga should have named that shit Booty. But can we, because my only complaint about the beautiful special that you made, my only complaint was it was too short. No, I was going to say the same thing. But, but, but. That's a compliment actually. No one I was going to say the same thing. But, but, but. That's a compliment, actually.

And as soon as we about to announce it, these niggas got on the picket line. They want to march. They want to march like Selma now. I'm over this motherfucker like a civil rights leader with a donut shop. You know how many white people eat these motherfucking glazed donuts And they all strike and they all strike Cuz what are they not good? Well, they want money from what I heard You know, I don't know that all the issues. What do they want? They want they want more money for residuals from

Yo, did y'all hear that, rappers? He said, if y'all stick together. He didn't even say if we could do it. He just said, stick together. Can we not get this message? We need to stick together. Wherever you are out there, I love you.

Hopefully you got love for me, but we need to stick together because if the writers could stick together and strike, because they're not getting their, you think we care?

That's them deals. I think we need two more shots. You understand what I'm saying? That's the motherfucker deal I'm looking for. Shit, nigga. 200 million for the crib. Nigga.

Please. You won't hear nothing from me. I see your success. Now that's the nigga that bring results. Something to hurry right there. So what's in your iPod right now?

What you just told iTunes? Oh man. Jay-Z. Biggie. I'm going to Earth, Green and Fire. It all depends on what mood I'm in so I can get ready for this. You don't listen to on iTunes? Oh, man. Jay-Z, Biggie. I'm an earth, wind, and fire nigga. It all depends on what mood I'm in so I can get ready for this. You don't listen to none of these young dudes?

Nah, man. I mean... Anything before a show that you listen to that gets you hyped? I listen to it with my son when he listen to it, you know? Like Lil Baby. Especially when you started with Wale.

He like Lil Baby. Yeah. You started with Wale and you ended it with Busta Rhymes. Because Wale's from Wale. He like Lil Baby. Yeah. He started with Wale and he ended it with Busta Rhymes. Because Wale's from D.C., D.M.C. Yeah, yeah. Wale, my man, yo.

And I wanted to put that pressure on myself because I knew what it meant if you have the arrogance to name your shit legendary. That's fire. That's fire. If you have to put the work behind it.

So it would make me get to that level, and I know what level that I'm capable of, that among my peers, all right, nigga, if you don't like it, where's yours? See, you can't criticize me if you ain't got nothing. Right. See, that's why I shut the nigga down. This ain't the shit. Well, who's the shit and where's your shit now you can't use another nigga

resume to come at me and say well Dave's shit is better than yours well where's yours that might be true but where's yours cause you're speaking for you Dave ain't speaking for you so what you hold him accountable So you sit back

and like, where is yours? So when you name it legendary, you, it's like a marker. You put out here and say, this is where I am at comedically.

And your peers was like, Quake, that's the shit because we all root for it. Your haters, we trying to find any other way to come. And the motherfuckers

that know they're not, don't supposed to be in this circle, they hate on it. And refer other people's shit when they don't have no shit. So, I love it right now.

And it makes me a better artist, to be quite honest with you. Because making this next special Pulitzer, it's going to be

my best work. Because I need it to get to where I'm trying to be my best work because I need it to get to where I'm trying to be. You know what I mean? And Dave is producing this as well? Yes. And it's in Atlanta, right? I'm going to produce it in Atlanta.

Atlanta is where I started my comedy career. When I left the military, I just went to Atlanta, not as a comedian, just to get on. Because Atlanta is like baby Wakanda. Yes.

I wouldn't be here sitting with y'all if it wasn't for Atlanta. Because Atlanta supported me harder than any other ever in the beginning of my career. Sold out shit. I ain't even had to leave Atlanta. I was getting

paid in Atlanta like a motherfucker. So I couldn't even be this. My staff, my friends, people who knows me, who saw me be that nigga and see other motherfuckers who got accolades,

was all it. And my friends and people in Atlanta see me do that work. It's like he has the same ability. He is that. And they've been with me. So my team, I got Ava, Star. These are people that started my fucking, in the beginning of my career,

in my club from waitress all the way to now that handles in my business, and it's our turn. Shout out to your team. I owe them that. Shout out to your team. Very professional. Shout out to Ava.

I pulled up at 1.30. Y'all was already there having lunch. I said, this nigga professional. No, what happened was Ava been trying, we've been wanting

to do this for a while. I appreciate that. No, no. This was a high priority, but things was happening and Ava was sitting with your team and O-9 would say,

how can we do it that it can make it? And we was in Tampa last night with the tour. I wish y'all knew. I would've went to that. Yeah, it was fire. But Ced's so fucking funny.

Oh, man. We need to get him over here. That's a beautiful lineup, man. Ced is so... That's a beautiful lineup. My birthday party is tomorrow and I'm going to see Ced.

I'm going to say, you got to go down there. Ced a real motherfucker. We'd love to have him. No, Ced will him. No, Seth. No, Seth. Believe me. He's such a legend.

When he in this point, I can speak to Seth to do it. I'm like, Seth, you got to go down there and fuck with them motherfuckers. Yes, man. We had fun. So did the edible hit you yet? Yeah. Fuck yeah, man. Okay, I'm taking a shot for the edible hit you, man.

It was your shot. The shot. Okay. We're going to keep you lined up, man. Okay, I'm taking a shot for that. We'll hit you, man. It was your shot. The shot. Okay. Okay, yeah. We're going to keep you lined up. Okay, you got me lined up. Not the same. Yeah, I'm going to skip on that one.

What was that? That's not the same, huh? Not the same. That shit just ripped my hole. Ripped my soul through a hole. How about acting gigs? What's your take? Do you enjoy doing films like that?

It's the hardest shit in the world. Acting? Yeah, because I'm... Does the comedy translate for you when you... I'm not an actor. I'm a movie star. That was hard. Damn. That was hard.

You know what I'm saying? I know because I don't need to portray somebody else's image of me. Allow me to do what I do and we can make what we make and it'll be profitable. I shouldn't have to conform to a writer's

perspective of trying to grasp that character when you can just take the essence of me and put me in a fictitious-ass fucking event and we can be funny. What would Chris Rock be if he owned a bank in this? What would Dave Chappelle,

all great comedians, has been put in fictitious ass circumstances and appell you Eddie Murphy acts of Foley being Eddie Murphy if he was a cop in Beverly Hills right right right I see what you're saying see what I'm saying why I got to come over this motherfucker and play this nigga put earthquake in this and we'll do well. It shows, nigga. We're selling 6,000 tickets without a fucking TV show. If I can hold a person

fucking attention for an hour, you don't think I can hold their interest for an hour if you put me around comedic actors with a fucking storyline. And why should I have to conform to that when I don't do respect?

I don't respect. Why would that dude do that? Earthquake would never do this. If you want to capture their shit, let Earthquake do that way and we'll do that way. So, it's the hardest shit in the world.

It really is. For people to understand your strength and for a person that's in a power of decision making to say you shouldn't have to take him through that to get to here. Allow him to do this

and we'll be profitable because it's all about the money. Was it a $100 million movie or not? Period. And you put me in the right shit, we can make $100 million off a movie. What's the ladies movie channel? The ladies movie channel? Would you let them do a Lifetime movie on you?

No. No Unson, no Lifestone, none of that shit. You'll do a Netflix movie on you though. No. No? No, we don't need to do nothing. No documentaries about your life? No, I'm good.

Wow. I'm just one, everything for me ain't for sale. Mmm. Wow. I'm just one. Everything for me ain't for sale. You know, everybody that I hope, everybody that I touch their life, know I touch their life. Right. And that's enough for me. What I do have for sale is some funny-ass jokes and funny-ass situations and the rest of it. That's why you never see on my Instagram who I'm dating,

what my family is, and this. No autobiography? No, nigga. I ain't giving you that. That ain't for sale. Boy, it's changed for what you say

you're giving me. I, all that humbling, nah, nah. This for sale. Right. Jokes.

Right. And I'm satisfied for whatever revenue comes from that. I don't need that extra, extra, extra. Because for me, for that extra, it costs too much. I'm not willing to sell for that, what comes for it, even if I could take it.

My son might can't take it. Might fuck with his life. Nah. That's real. So on Twitter, a minute I asked, I said,

you got questions for Earthquake. One of the first things they said was his famous divorce. Yes. Is that something you want to talk about? I talk about it all the time. Okay. I mean, what happened? Tell us if you want to. I mean... Because I heard you say you still believe in marriage,

you just didn't believe... Oh, I'm about to get married again. Oh, really? Okay. No, I found the one for me, but... It's humbling when you find out a person don't love you. It's humbling when you come to a realization out of all the women you done met in your life, you picked the wrong one. And not that she's a bad woman.

She just ain't right for you. You understand? How long you also got, three years? We was married for three years. Okay. I knew her for a long time. You want a Mike Tyson ear? No. I mean, you

sit here and you try to be honest with a person, any person, and I try to be that. Flaws or any person, and I try to be that, flaws, whatever, because we all flawed people. We're beautiful, flawed people.

And that I am. You try to be honest with them and say for whatever reason, this shit ain't working. And based upon that, you should be happy. And when I say that, you deserve to be with the person you're supposed to be with

and think that you're everything. Should celebrate you, not tolerate you. I say that a lot. Should celebrate you, should think you're the baddest woman in the world because that's what I thought when I fuck with you.

I'm no longer there. All right. So instead of trying to subsidize you put other motherfuckers on here I'm man enough to say this is it and I was victimized this motherfucker

came at me at every other way and that's when I came to the conclusion it's an occupational hazard that comes along with what we do. And you can't take it personal. Even if you came with the best intention. And you can't retaliate and be that same way.

Because there's no reason for you not to be a real nigga. Even if you fucking with a motherfucker. Ain't practicing the same principles that you are. So it was the hardest motherfucker time in the world because I was raising my son. And I was like, how can I keep the relationship with him and hope that he doesn't believe that he was the reason or whatever search, search away and have resistance because the custodian parent don't have my best interests. So at the least she said he,

I at the most, she's telling him he's the worst nigga in the world and everything. And you got to pray to God that this motherfucker don't see you that way. At the most, she'd tell him he's the worst nigga in the world and everything else. You got to pray to God that this motherfucker don't see you that way. And it's the hardest shit in the world. And stand up gave me that because I was able to articulate that and not hold it against it. And I will never understand why women don't understand you should always be happy if a man comes to you and tell you

that you are not the woman of his dreams. Is that why you felt like Jada Pickett don't love Will Smith? Yes. Do you feel like that sincerely? Because a woman that loves you will never allow you

to make that catastrophic decision. Even if it was for her advantage. She will stop you. She's raised... She kind of like sicked him on him, right? We can't say that, but allegedly.

I mean, not only sicked him on him, she endorsed it by not stopping him. If you have the capability of stopping it and you don't, that's endorsing it. In my humble opinion. My woman,

those requirements are necessary for you to be my woman. You cannot allow me to make big mistakes, even if it was righteous in our eyes. 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.

That's the person. Well, what if Will would have did that to you? I would hope I would have did the same thing Chris did. Now that I've seen what Chris did, I would have took it. But if I didn't know Chris,

I would have knocked his ass out in that motherfucker. Chris taught us what it's supposed to do. See, first of all, hitting them back, for what? You've already been punched. You can't get the punch back. The punch is done. Now you got to think of the ball. Slap, punch, whatever You already been punched. You can't get the punch back. Right. You can't. The punch is done. Right.

Now you got to think of the box. Well, slap, punch, whatever. Additive you want to use for it, nigga. The action that's been done. There's nothing you can take that back. Now you got to think if you like Chris is, he's a black man for the first time ever. Produced the motherfucking Oscars.

The whole night is on TV. My kids watching. I got on TV. My kids watching. I got my family. Booyah. Plus, if I want to go legality with the legal part, I can go that way on too.

Move on, take a joke. It's cool on it. He has taught us and I told him that. I said, thank you. No, I told Chris that. Thank you. You'll show me

how I will handle that now. But if you come up that bitch in the club, I'm going to fuck you you. You'll show me how I will handle that now. But if you come up that bitch in the club, I'm going to fuck you up. You got to get the awesome. I'm going to stab you with that motherfucking mic stand. Right. Do you think that since then, comedians was kind of like a target?

Because, I mean, like, you know, there was people from that week. It was on Instagram of people running up on comedian. Was it Dave? It was Dave. And then it was someone else. It was, I think, D-Ray Davis. I was on the show with Dave

and the motherfucker jumped up. That nigga was a ninja. That shit look crazy. He was so quick. I was standing on the side of the thing because we supposed to do a curtain call. And I was standing. That nigga look crazy. He was so quick. I was standing on the side of the thing because we supposed to do a curtain call. And I was standing there. That nigga came from nowhere. Nah. Most comedians can fight. Nah, we some

Well, you know, it don't have that kind of show and you can tell the the room nobody's gonna do that way well, you know It builds up to that. You know saying you're like this motherfucker not and you hope

Security and start telling my fucking to shut up because it'll be a badger and back and forth off up then a month like for Dave this thing it just came out of nowhere. So he came there for that. There's no way you can protect yourself from that. What did they make you say out of him, though? Oh, I didn't see anything, but he wasn't the same. He was not the same. I was going to jump in, but I ain't had that kind of money. I said, nigga, you can't put me in this suit. I remember us interviewing Dave right after that, right?

Right. And I remember, like, his publicist saying to us, well, we can't drop it on this day because my attacker, Dave was, like, the attacker. And I felt like they gave the attacker too much props. Like, they were like, they were like, not scheduling and pressed around it, and I was just like, oh, fuck the attacker.

Like, I don't, like, the victims get so much props nowadays. Not the victims, the aggressors. Well, the aggressors, the aggressors that lose, that becomes the victim. Right. Like, I just remember that.

Maybe I'll edit this part out. Yeah. Nah, he said the aggressors. Yeah. I feel you. You were. But really, he took an ass whooping. Yeah, he got his ass whooping.

We all saw it. And he should have got his ass whooping. Yeah. Absolutely. Nah, he should have. He fucked up a great night. That's what I seen on the motherfucker from Twitter, Musk. He fucked up a great night. That's what I seen on the motherfucker

That energy of that many people laughing at your words has to be intoxicating. Yeah, but you can't play with them. Right. Meaning? Well, you can be freestyling in a club. Right. But not with 18,000. 400 people, maybe even 2,500 people.

But 18,000, you got to be. Do you ever go off the head? Yes, I do, but it got to make sense. Right, meaning? Yeah, well, sometimes you can lose it. You can go a different way and like fuck it artistically. You know, it's abstract. Like maybe this motherfucker take the joke all the way here abstractly.

You don't do that with 18,000. You stay to the basis of the way it is. Stick to the script when you do that. Well, yeah. More or less. Yeah, you make that shit air in action. You don't.

18,000. You lose 4,000 of them, especially if they're black, they'll boo your ass. No, really. You don't want to lose that. You don't play with 18,000. Because at that point,

you're not working the material. In smaller venues, you probably work in material. Exactly. Right, right. that. You don't play with 18,000. Because at that point, you're not working the material. In smaller venues, you probably work in material. Exactly. Right, right. Exactly. You go with definite. You know this.

You've been going at rappers all night. I've been noticing that. You know what? Let me ask you. What do you feel about rappers becoming comedians? Can't do it, niggas. We're the only profession that y'all can never

come over and dominate. Why? T.I.'s having an okay time. Okay is great. And he's paying his dues in that field. He's paying his dues. He's paying his dues.

And I'm not knocking. T.I.'s my friend. We talk all the time. I said, come over and dominate. Yes, I do. Okay, good. Talking about dominate.

This, to be this, nigga, it is from God's gift. This can't be taught. This, this, this, this. You don't get a second time to tell a joke. It has to be perfect every time it come out. It's nothing that you can teach this. The true one

is inherent. God put them down as this. So if you that, that, that, that, God bless you, but you would never come over here and be this. Because to be this from there, y'all, and very few are this.

So you don't think no rapper could become a comedian? I don't think no other person who ain't a comedian could be the best comedian. Like you have to be innately a comedian is what you're saying? You have to be it. So if you're a rapper, you should have been a comedian. If you rapped over there and you feel you was that nigga, you would never come over here and be that nigga. This is it. I'm going to fuck knock knock.

If they got the money, man, I'm there. I mean, favorite places, because you know, favorite places, you only make it favorite because you know somebody in that city that you can see.

No, I'll be honest. Like me, for me, to perform, Philadelphia and Connecticut can get me cheap all the time. Right. You just put that out there right now? Yeah, but I'm not taking the office. No, no. I get them.

I get them because there's so much love. There's so much love that if you come out that I will never turn down a decent. That's worth more than money for you. It's worth more than money because I feel like an artist when I'm in Philadelphia. You feel appreciated. To tell you the truth, I don't... No, he comfortable

with just getting conversated based upon his art. Yes. And that's cool. You correct. I'm not there. Yeah, you correct. I'd rather have a great show

than one of the great shows I've ever had. No, but see, no, he's... It's a mentality. I'm still in the worker man's mentality. You understand? This is what I need to in the worker man's mentality. You understand?

This is what I need to be compensated for my art. I want to get to where he is. So basically, you don't have a favorite place? Or do you have a favorite place there? No, I mean, everywhere I go, if they're here to see me, man, I got paid. I thought you were saying D.C. and Atlanta.

Well, D.C. is where I'm from. Atlanta is the birthplace of my talent. Those are symbolic, but everywhere I go, they give me the love it is, and I have fans off of it. But my mentality ain't that way. You know, certain places are just symbolic with it. I haven't got to that point yet because I always been behind on my mortgage. So it's been a motherfucking job.

You understand? You understand? You know what I'm saying? We're going to here and they pay us this. We got to give them a great show. And they love me and I love them.

You know what I mean? I haven't been able to get to that comfortability that I can just love it just for the art and I'm looking forward to that. Really, I am, nigga, to the point that

I want to go down here because they just love me and shit off and they're just that way. I just, no, nigga, I want to get to that point. It's the work mentality.

Once you, I tell comedians all the time, you, this, this is a blessing but it still is an occupation. You got to work at it, man. You can't sit around here and take this shit for granted, because, nigga, a fan only blows when you're hot. And you got to stay hot, nigga.

That's crazy. You want to sit around here and take this love if you want to, nigga to nigga You fucking around And have four people out here You better walk in that bitch Every day Understand nigga You owe them You know what I'm saying Cause they blowing

And Germany too I like performance Do the door I like performance They can get me for A discount Not really Cause

Not really Cause I gotta already be out there. You like Europe? I love it now. I mean, Dave and Chris took me out there and it was beautiful, man.

What parts of Europe you went to? I went to, we went to London. We went to Amsterdam. We went to Paris. Paris. We went to Amsterdam. We went to Paris. We went to, what are the motherfuckers, the white dudes that perform Coldplay. Yeah, we performed at the O2 Arena.

It was beautiful, man. And just to see these motherfuckers saw me because I looked out in the crowd and didn't nobody look like me. Oh, man. And just to see these motherfuckers saw me because I looked out in the crowd and then nobody looked like me. Oh, yeah. And I was like, okay. Did that worry you that the jokes wouldn't resonate? See what you have to do.

You know it. The truth of the matter is you have to be you. Right. If you sit here and try to reach them, trying to, you know... Cater to them?

Cater to them. To adjust them. Yeah. That's not what it is. They're here for you. Well, they're here for him. Right. You're just trying to get them

to say we love him too. The same way, right. And make them a part of your coalition. Right. You know what I mean? I mean, he... I couldn't have never sold 18,000, 19,000 motherfuckers in Europe.

So they don't even know I'm on the show. So my job is, let's take the advantage of this opportunity that they have given me to make some of these motherfuckers an earthquake fan. What I tell comedians all the time, don't worry about who the number one comedians

if I meet you and I got $5 million and we break up and I got $75 million. I owe you $37. But if I meet you and I got $5 million and I break up with you and I still got $5 million, I owe you shit. We didn't prosper. That's good math. No, he wasn't a difference maker. Right. No fault to you, we did not exceed our expectations.

It wasn't a fruitful venture. Business is bottom line, I'm a result oriented type. Show me your results. Fuck what you say. I'm a bad motherfucker. I missed this. Okay, how do you equate to is better? That's what I'm a bad motherfucker. I'm this, this. Okay. How do you equate to is better?

And it never will. So I need more than that show me how you gonna help me to get here and to answer your question she has and it's nothing that I had anything to do with

and that's when you know there's a difference and the record speaks for itself. How long have you been together? Three years. Three years? I met her eight years ago.

Tried to get her. She didn't take the bait. Thank you. You know how I was. How did you meet her? You hit her with some jokes? No, I was like, let me take you to dinner. It was late after the club.

And if you live in L.A., you know about L.A., they have two restaurants. One of them is in the Valley and one of them is at the Beverly Center. And I said, let me take you to dinner in the same restaurant. What restaurant is it? It's the name of that motherfucker. Beverly Center, you're talking about the mall? Yeah, the mall. It was right there.

It was, motherfuckers went there all the time. It skips my mind, the name of it. But the one I wanted her to go to was the one that was close to our house. In the Valley. Yeah. So I said, let's go to that one. She was like, nah, we can go to the one that's Jerry's Deli. Jerry's Deli, that's my shit.

Yeah, Jerry's Deli. They got one at the Beverly Center, and they got one in Studio City. I got one in Studio, I live near Studio City. So I said, let's go to eat. She's like, yeah, I'll go out to eat with you. I said, let's go to Jerry's Deli. She said, I'm about to eat. What you mean, dog? I said, let's go to Jerry's Deli. She said, sure. She said, the one on Beverly Hills?

I'm like, nah, it's 3-0 City. She said, nah, nigga, this one right down the street. So I tried to get her. She was like, she wasn't hearing it. So eight years later. But you did go to Jerry's Deli in the Beverly Hills Center. Huh? You did go to Jerry's Deli at the Beverly Hills Center.

Nah. You went to one in the Valley. We didn't go to eat, period. I didn't go to Jerry's Deli in the Beverly Center. Huh? You did go to Jerry's Deli at the Beverly Center. Nah. You went to one in the Valley. We didn't go to eat, period. I didn't go to eat. No turkey and cheese? Nah. No mayonnaise? She didn't want to go where I want to go.

No paso. So how the hell did this happen then? Well, I just said, let me get you a number. I'll call you later. Right. Because my goal, I'm going to feed you, but I'm going to feed you what I want you to eat. Not going to Roscoe's? Well, if that's what you want, if Roscoe's near my house.

Or you only eat at restaurants near your house? If I'm trying to get you to my house. Genius. If I'm trying to sleep with you, I'm going to feed you near my house Okay So you walk down where restaurants is near your house And it was a Jerry's near my house No I know where it's open

That near my house Is there a Mr. Charles near your house Yeah Mr. Charles is about 15 minutes from my house You got the time. Okay, there. All right. Is there a noble near your house?

Noble's about nine minutes. You won. That's it. That's what I'm saying. I have no more further questions about restaurants. Yeah, but that'll let you know she won't be with you. I'm going to feed you. I said you thought you won't be with me. She ain't going to be with me. I'm going to feed you. I said you thought you want to be with me.

She ain't want to be with me like that. And I respect that. So what restaurant did y'all actually, your first date was on? Where was that? No. Our first date was like eight years later. Damn, eight years later.

Yeah. Oh, you could wait. No. He played the long game. You played chess like a motherfucker. You want somebody that wants you, so. Right. You say, I'm doing this show, ba-ba-ba.

Come out and see it. She came out of show. She was like, all right, let's hang out. I said, I can't. I have to leave. Say hello to her. And we was all kicking. Then the pandemic hit.

So I stopped, you know. I had nothing but time. So we started kicking and we was good. Oh, so y'all was together during the pandemic? Yeah, that's what all happened during the pandemic. Yeah, that's when relationships was tested. Well... Because you started to hate a motherfucker.

Yeah, that's true if you with the wrong motherfucker. But you also get to define if this really is the motherfucker you want to be with because you see other shit has been occupying your time and has been giving a waiver

to this motherfucker. Now you have nothing but isolated time with you and her and you get to, as a real man, especially if you're in your 40s or 50 her and you get to, as a real man, especially if you're in your 40s or 50s,

you get to evaluate what exactly you got. She can't hide none of those flaws. I always say it's only three ways to know a person. To go to jail with them.

Jail. To go on tour with them. True that. Or to live with them. It's all like jail. It's all like jail. It's all the same. It's all the same. There's different restrictions.

If you go on tour with a motherfucker, you're going to learn you didn't like this motherfucker a lot because you're going to see him a lot. You go to jail with him, there's nothing more that you can do but judge him because that's all you got to do.

That's all you got to do. And then if you live with a motherfucker, it's the same exact thing. So you will know that person within two weeks. Within two weeks, if you don't know them within two weeks, it's because you blind like a motherfucker. You are acting Stevie Wonder because everyone knows Stevie Wonder

can see. Everyone knows Stevie Wonder can see. Yeah, I believe that. No, listen, man. I believe you're going to gonna see True story Two weeks ago Oh shit this is recent Nah this is two weeks ago It's a true story

I walked by And me and Stevie Wonder's friends And I passed him And I ain't seen him People like Thank you that's Stevie Wonder I said oh man I done

Missed out on saying What's your name Stevie Wonder look at me You nigga You just gonna pass me. I saw you. He didn't say he smelled you. No, the nigga said, I saw you.

You just going to pass me up. I said, nigga, I said, that's fucked up. Steve, he saw me, and I ain't see him. I said, nigga, what kind of life I'm living? Stevie saw me and I ain't see him. Oh, my God. What was the story that was told? No, Shaq.

No, not the Shaq. The other one is better. What? The one about crossing the street. Oh, that was Ozzy Brothers. Ozzy Brothers. The Ozzy Brothers said they seen Stevie running across the street. By himself.

Somebody go get that nigga. And they had to run across the street when Stevie was crossing the street by himself. Stevie, listen, man. Stevie, we would love to have Stevie here. Stevie, you want a drink, Chad? I'm going to talk to Stevie. Come to my club.

We do Tuesday night in L.A. It's called Comedy Chateau. That's where it's located. It's called Earthquake and Friends. And Stevie comes there every Tuesday. Oh, man, tell him. And he told his first joke last Tuesday. Oh, shit.

So I'm going to tell him, like I'm going to tell Sid, I'm putting on my life. Please. Y'all got to go down there and fuck with the Dream Team. That's the thing. That became our book of the year. Yeah.

I'm going to tell Sid. You got to fuck with it. I see you. Oh, my God. You went too far, eh? I'm going to say, please, Sid, you got to do it.

Now, we know you got the internet. Because we all got the internet. Are you seeing what's going on with DJ Envy and Rick Ross? Yeah, man. I'm going to take a piss while you talk about this. See, I'm a different kind of dude, dog. I don't get it.

I just don't get it. From Rick Ross' part and DJ Envy, the same thing, man. You got a problem with me, call me. You know me, I know you. You understand? All this back and forth on it, so it can't be we upset with each other. So that means we can have a conversation.

And if it is that we upset with each other, that's when I'm totally out the game. Because I don't play fight. Right. I don't. It's either real fight or no fight at all. Oh, no fight at all. You understand what I'm saying?

You an enemy or you not. Nigga, what we doing? Now I got to contemplate, do I need to take you off this motherfucker, protect my family? What are we doing? You see what I'm saying? So, I don't understand it, especially to

established motherfuckers. If it's a problem, what's the problem? Like, I just, me and you right now, if I ever heard I call you, hey, it's Quake. No, what's up, man? We good. Tell me what's, and a a man and a woman say, I'm sorry if you seen that, and I

apologize. You would never have that problem for me again, bro. And I think, I hope me and you are still cool. If you say you don't want to fuck with me no more, it's cool. Because the world is big enough that it doesn't determine me and you getting along. You ain't Russia.

I ain't the United States. I'm Switzerland. You understand? But what I'm saying is it doesn't determine that the existence of mankind does not depend on me and you getting along.

And the world is big enough that I can go live somewhere else that I don't give a fuck what you doing. Right. Real shit. And I'm still good with it. Real shit.

That's why I just don't understand it. From G to G. Call that nigga. Call that nigga up here. What is this all this yapping? They both went too far. No, what I'm saying is, nigga, you know it ain't no consequences

to the yapping. Because none of you niggas, if you're smart enough, willing to pay the cost to lose everything to end what it is man to man. So why we talking about it? I don't hate you enough more than I love myself. I don't hate you enough more than I love myself.

So nigga, I'm not doing that time fucking with you, nigga. I'll let you go. And that's why it's just disappointing, especially at that level. And we have to teach these young niggas that. Right. We have to.

And if they see the top niggas feuding over whatever it is, it don't bring no resolution to the rest of the motherfuckers on how it is. Period. And that's just my humble opinion. And it's really over a car show.

I don't give a fuck if it was over a bitch. I don't give a fuck if it was over. We as stars, as leaders on it, because that's the truth. Because you ain't going to pay that price, what it is to do it. If me and you have beef right here, motherfuckers don't fight no more. Right. I haven't met a nigga yet that can take an ass with him. Yep.

Usually a nigga take an ass with you. He's a better man. We good, but we have respect and move on. These niggas can't take it no more. So, nigga, now I got to take you out. Right. Not because I'm a

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 bestselling 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,

I'm a better man when you can't physically fuck with me and I fuck you. People can't take losses anymore. Can't take an L. They can't. That's right. That's the problem. Exactly. Can't take a L. They can't. That's right. That's the problem. Exactly. Can't take a L.

So now we're dealing with a term of niggas can't take a L. I got to go ahead and eliminate you. Because, I mean, in fairness to both of them, they could have both probably stopped from the beginning. Like, you know, I feel like, you know, again, we have respect for them both. And it started on drink champs for them both And it started on Drink Champs It sucks It sucks that it started

On Drink Champs But I didn't feel like Ross To tell you the truth I thought it was just Joking And Ross my friend But when

When Ross said it I didn't feel like Ross was being Out of line I felt like Ross Was just saying Competitive On some

Car show shit And I felt like Envy You know Responded As he should He's shit. And I felt like Envy responded as he should. He's supposed to. And I feel like when Envy said Charlamagne,

would you let your daughters sleep in the house with Eddie Murphy? Although he was talking about Charlamagne's daughters, I felt like Rick Ross took it like he said. He was talking about my daughter. So that's when the thing kind of like spiraled

out of control. And in my opinion, I could be wrong as well. You know what I mean? I could be wrong. But this is how I see it. And it just kept going. It just kept going. But I humbly you know, if you guys are listening to this show, listening to this podcast, please brothers,

you guys are way too important. I think one of y'all should pick up the phone, speak to each other. And too much of an example to other people. And I ain't going to shut the fuck out. We love y'all both. And everyone's going to go to both of y'all car shows. We're not going to pick. We're going to go to both of y'all car shows.

I'm glad I ain't got them kind of cars. And keep them slave ass cars. That's what I love about comedians. They can make fun of any situation. I don't want no cars when we ain't got no rights. Them niggas in them 1950s. Fuck, I won't be in that slave car. Nigga, you couldn't even be at no diner.

We on Warner Brothers. Okay, I'm on Warner Brothers. So we on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers.

We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. We on. And it's on Warner Brothers. No, I don't want to say that. We on Warner Brothers. We on Warner Brothers. Okay, I'm Warner Brothers. Goddamn, we make money. We on Warner Brothers.

Think about Warner Brothers partners. Goddamn it, hell yeah. So you finger popping shit in the TV show? No, I'm on. It's a syncope. I'm being Earthquake in a contentious world. And it's the first time That this one got a shot

You know Cause you know It's a process First you gotta get the show Then you gotta get on it Then you gotta stay on it Then you gotta get renewed You know

It's a ride Did y'all film it yet Or no No I had the deal We signed the deal And then they went on strike. Did you get the advance?

No. Damn. Fuck. The money ain't coming, ain't nothing, no. The strike stopped everything. Fuck the strike. Well, you don't want to. Get your ass back to work.

No, because you don't want to announce you had the show and your partner in crime is your showrunner. What? That's your right-hand man and he out there on labor strike. You don't want to be on there. I'm just holding on. So as soon as he make his deal and they get together

and we don't get it done, I thought you ought to sell the special on there so I'll be straight. You can't strike with them because then they... No, because I'm not a writer. I can support you from the crib. You know what I'm saying?

He's like, you go. Go. I feel you. But nigga, no. I'm not in a position to make any white man upset. I need all of them to be my friend. Now, as a friend of Dave Chappelle, one of the most catastrophic, I want to say,

things is when he walked away from like 56 million or 57 million. Yeah, that nigga got strength. Tell y'all niggas right now, I wouldn't have 56 sold. I'm being honest with you. That nigga strong. He made it triple over. He believed in his belief.

I swear to God. That got resolved. 56, nigga. But essentially, when you first heard that, that he turned down. I swear to God. They got 56, nigga. But essentially, when you first heard that, that he turned down, what did you think? That he got faith.

Think of his job of faith. No, I mean, he believe in his principles and what it is. And that's one thing about comedians. True comedians, they, the money, it is just an afterthought.

You know what I mean? If you make anything, like you said, you treated me well, and I'm going to go there. I'm supposed to get this amount of money, but I do it for this because everything was so good. That's who we comedians is. Wow. But if you. Exploiting us. And we feel we being exploited. There is no money.

You can give us. That we would do it. Because we know at the end of the day. We compromising who we are. And it's going to show up on your stand up. He could never be the motherfucker. That he is today had he accepted that. Because it would compromise everything he is

of his thought pattern. How he coming to the jokes he's doing right now. He could never afford everything else because he already took the motherfucking bid early with Comedy Central. And that's what people don't understand. So when I

saw him do it, I was like, yeah. He is that dude. Salo, let's take a shot for that. Let's fight it for him, Salo. Cheers. Cheers. I ain't gonna lie.

I didn't think you was gonna drink. I thought you, yeah. He drinking and eating edibles. Look at his shotgun right there. Look at my fucking. Go down the ladder, nigga. You'll hear about me. I didn't know.

I didn't know. Oh, no. No, man. I'll fuck some real. I finalize this. Fuck the gun. I finalize this, my man. Oh!

I don't know. I didn't do that. Wait, child. This is mine. And I got one more. I'm going to drink. Wait, child. This is mine. And I got one more. Hold on. Got one more. I don't know what we're going to take this shot for.

We're going to take it for... Oh, damn. Right now? You ain't want to warm up to it? He got a flight this guy. Oh, yeah. That's right. We got eight more minutes with him.

Because he said it hard out at five o'clock, right? Mm-hmm. Yes. Well, Earl Craig, I'm not ending it. I got one or two more. We got to take the picture.

We got time. Go ahead. Take your time. We're good. Man, you a legend, legend, man. You know what's dope about you? And let me just say this. Okay.

And I mean this, and it's not no hyperbole. For you to say that as being a real nigga, I'm good. Nah, nah, I'm being honest. No, but I'm saying. Yeah.

And that's what matters. You understand what I'm saying? We're hearing from you. Real motherfuckers in the game saying what it is. Yeah. You can get a TV show. You can get a TV show. You can get a syndicate.

You can be that. If you don't have respect among your peers and other genders who peers and shit recognize your shit, you have nothing. So when I hear that, not to interrupt you. It's just me and you talking. Absolutely. You just say that. Yes. It stamps it on and on.

I can take that home and feed my kids with that. And my woman tells me that. But you're one of the only comedians that I know that give respect to other comedians. That's what's beautiful about you, your career,

your legacy, your plot, is, you know, a lot of rappers don't get respect about other rappers, right? So they'll be like, man, fuck him. You know, he's from such and such, or he doesn't do this. One thing I know about you is when I said your name, everybody was like, that's the

man. Everybody. Rappers, comedians, ballplayers. I sent it on Twitter, and everybody was like, yo, that's a funny motherfucker. I was like, yo, anybody got questions for Earthquake? And everyone was like, yo, that nigga's a funny motherfucker. He's going to drink you under the table. No, no, no.

They just was going in, and I'm looking at all these certified checks of all of these stars, and then the regular people, but the stars was coming in like, yo, I'm tuning in to this drink champs. This is going to be the drink champs. And that's warranted to what you did in this community, to what you did in comedy, to what you did for us, for us. And I just want you to know, face toto-face, man-to-man, you are one of the love, love, legends of the legends.

And we will always respect you, brother. I was so excited. I was like, yo, he want to do the show? Yo, Irv Gregg. I was like, what? We was excited, me and this nigga both. We came here early, and then you was here earlier. We didn't like what? We was excited. Me and this nigga both. We came here early and then you was here earlier. We didn't like that.

We said, hold up. You can't be here before us. We are all the people. But it was so beautiful, man. Do you know how much of a legend you are? Well, that, first of all, y'all show is so important.

I have done 30 years of fucking interviews, and it's the only time my staff demanded they had to come. I love that. You know what I'm saying? They said if they couldn't come, they quitting. They quitting. But we sent them a bottle of champagne. They had to come. Let's send the staff a bottle of champagne. They said if they couldn't come they quit You know as a rapper man, yes the least you want to do the least you want to get respect from your peers. Right. Yeah.

You, you... Bro, man to man. Yes. You can't make the motherfucker gatekeepers give you your shot. Right. I don't give a fuck how funny you is.

I give me the, if funny was the criteria for making, I'd be a superstar already. All right. It's who you know, who want to take that chance on you, who want to give you the opportunity when they have the ear of the decision makers

to say, hey, what do you want to do? I want to do this. But you know somebody you want to talk to? Talk to them. You need to see him. They want to be with you. But if you say him, they'll give him the opportunity. Very few of us have that.

So when I came to the conclusion, I can't control that. Only thing I can control was be the funniest I can be and be to my niggas juzzing it on jokes, how can you not put my name in the motherfucking game? If we basing it on jokes, I have nothing but jokes. I'm not going to dance. I'm not going to dance. I'm not going to fuck with others. I'm going to love. I'm going to be a father to my with others I'm going to love I'm going to be a father to my kids

I'm going to be anything it is I'm not going to put my hands on I'm not going to chase anything That gives me a click That is I'm not going to do none of that I'm not That's right

I'm going to Even if you do me wrong I'm not going to come back at you I'm going to at least get an opportunity for me and you to talk and say what it is. I'm never going to take that bait of trying to fuck you over for me to go this

other way. None of that. I'm just going to live on the basis that I thought y'all are judging who's the funniest nigga. And if we're having this conversation, if I'm not that, then who is? And tell me, where's they shit that put what we have?

Not what you heard, not what you feel. Where's the work? That's all I'm asking. And wherever it leads, I'm good with it. Put your stats up. First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,

eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, wherever it is. But let's have a real fucking goddamn discussion. Right. Because I don't see shit about jokes. Because I'm not seeing it. Right.

I'm not seeing it. Right. I'm not seeing it. But I'm not angry. Right, right. I'm going to keep doing what it is, but I'm not going to get angry at none of them. And I hope the motherfuckers who have the ear of the industry say, hey, man, have you seen my boy Quake? You should see him. And I'm not trying to be you. I'm not trying to be them.

I'm not trying to be nothing. Because what's for me is for me. And I can never be you. And you damn sure can't never be me. God damn. Yo, man, I ain't going to lie. You are everything I thought you was going to be. And then more.

I ain't going to lie. I am so over it. I wish you could see. I got goosebumps. Because, I mean, be honest with you. There be so many times that, you know, I'm a fan of somebody. I love them. And then I get to meet them in person.

And they're the exact opposite of what I thought they were. It's very disappointing. And for me to meet you. Because I have never met you. I feel like I know you because I know your comedy. So like. And. I said that recently because sometimes.

A fan would come up to me in the airport. And just start talking to me. And I'd be looking at this nigga like, nigga, you don't know me. Like, but then. They do. But then they do. Because I feel like I know you. Like, because I'm your fan.

You know what I'm saying? So I recently learned to adapt to that. Because fans, I'll just be in a bar and they'll be like, yo, what's up? So, you know, you remember that time? And I'm looking at this nigga like, nigga, what the fuck is your problem? I ain't never met you in no goddamn, and he doesn't, and it's like, but that's what it is with a lot of people

that I'm fans of, and you particularly. Like, I feel like I know you. You know what I'm saying? Even though this is my first time meeting you, I feel like I know you, and I feel like everything about your comedy is real. It's everything that you are and you embrace.

Has there ever been a time that you said a joke that embarrassed you or your family? Yeah. Damn. That was the risk you took? No, because I tell my family and my friends that

everything's game. No. The person who matters already knows. That's God. Right. Fuck what they think. See, I'm going to fuck

what they think is. Again, I'm a resort-oriented nigga. Who matters is God. So he already knows. So I don't give a fuck if you know. You ain't a factor. Right. You know what I'm saying?

Right. You can't fuck with us. We are laughing among each other. That was a fucked up shit. Back to the premise that we're flawed people. Right. So this was our flawed shit and we laugh about it you hold on to it you hide from it my team we laugh about it we moved on with

it i facilitate that because i'm the leader of it you understand what i'm saying so if i could say and say this is my flawedness of it then we we have no problem with it. And that's why I say it so, you know, yes, my woman said it, my brother said it, my mother said it, and I tell them the same thing. All y'all believe in God, they already know, and we know, fuck them. Fuck them. You know what I'm saying?

Let's laugh together in public. Instead of in the house. Are we making a noise saying? Let's laugh together in public. And sitting in the house. Are we making a noise for that? I ain't going to lie. Is you manicured up? Of course. You are manicured. Your shit been shining this whole time.

Your shit is going to bleak this whole time. I ain't going to lie to you. I get the time. I ain't gonna lie to you. I get the brush. I ain't touch your hair, but you look like you got the softest hands in Nebraska. I'm being honest with you. Softest hands in Nebraska. I don't lift nothing but a mic, man.

After he dropped that nuke, nothing's been the same. After he dropped the nuke, man. I don't lift nothing but a mic, man. I ain't never looked at a man and said, you got some smooth ass hair. Yeah, I tried that shit. Nah, I'm not a maintenance nigga. Nah, your hair is smooth.

You look like you never worked in your life. Not physically. Not physically. Not physically. I respect that. I'm not a labor nigga. Oh, shit. Are we taking a shot for that? All right. This is it. Last shot. Not physically. I respect that. I'm not a labor nigga. Oh, shit. Are we taking a shot for that?

All right. This is it. Last shot. Come on. You got to take a flight. We got to make sure you get it. All right. Go ahead, nigga.

I'm going to take it. Let me just tell you something. That's how you know he a real drinker. Did you see what he just did? He went like this. All right. For the audience that know him. That's it.

This is how you down a shot. This is also how you down an oyster. What the fuck? Yes, every time you eat an oyster, the proper way is to turn that oyster upside down because there's a drunk motherfucker in your crew. This is going to take a shot out there?

Yeah, it might take a shot. They might use a condom like you did too. It wasn't me, my friend. I know, I know. You know him and his friends share a condom. Don't listen to this this guy he makes up stories You share the car I didn't show no fucking condom. Say it ain't so. It ain't so. Say it ain't so.

around him for 20 years. Do you believe she fucked in him? Probably. Okay, I understand. You got to cut off. I'm not hurt.

I'm not hurt. No, if he felt this, if he felt this woman could be among them niggas and not get a not hurt. Now, if he feel this, if he feel this woman could be among them niggas and not get a pussy out. So do you feel that's a reflection on you?
