MJs and you dig what I'm saying and Kareem Abdul, you see why, you feel me, and you're one of those ones. Like, I used to sit and watch comment view as a child and you'll come out with the pen and pen and pan. And I'd be like, but every time I knew,
Starting point is 00:07:43 I was like, this motherfucker come with it, I don't give a fuck, who's on it? This thing is gonna have something. How you delivered and everything was so poised, I was like, you know what, stage control, stage presence. And you so, I learned a lot from that shit. You show some shit too that you was writing these jokes when a lot of times you know part of stand-up is you make it look effortless but you would show like you
Starting point is 00:08:05 had took time and crafted these shit with the strike doing shit like it was funny in in of itself but it was also showing motherfuckers that was coming up like when we got ready when I started doing copy like oh this Nick oh he put some thought into this shit like oh okay so this is and like I understood what a workout room was before I ever worked out doing comedy seeing that shit so yeah I appreciate this it's uh you know it's I've always felt like it ain't how you laugh is you like you them laughing right yeah point I think nicks get caught up in how they laugh right right right right and that ain't the point it's how you laugh you know a motherfucker abomin is funny you know
Starting point is 00:08:46 what I mean and I actually yeah you laugh at that yeah and I thought like who would make that funny I would and so I purposely do a joke that don't work on every set and it becomes just as funny as anyone that I wrote because it doesn't work right you know what I mean it's funny to see me fail right you know but yeah but you got to be confident enough to fail right you know and so I would know it sound trippy but it's like it's a hard of making that, it's an art to making not funny, funny. Right. You mastered anything that can be,
Starting point is 00:09:29 because anything can be funny. Anything can be funny. Right. That's how I look at it. Right. Fucking up can be funny. Yeah. I feel like you, Dave, when it comes to the pen,
Starting point is 00:09:40 you feel like, because I worked on my material and my material has been improv and jokes I've written and I worked away where I'm like, okay, that's good, that's great, got to this point. But I see the level of penmanship that I'm like, okay, these motherfuckers are writing. I want to go in the writer's room and see how they, I want to see the thought process.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like I love that shit. I want to see the thought process of how they come up with that. Because still as a nine years in the game, I'm still trying to figure out premise, punchline, set up. Okay, you may know it, but like you said, anything can be funny. And that's why I admire. I admire comedians like y'all
Starting point is 00:10:23 because y'all will sit there and be like, nigger, it's never a dull moment when you one of those true comedians. Yeah. I got a new 30 minutes anytime I won't. Let me ask you this though, man, because I've seen you at all kind of comedy rooms across the country, like, no matter what level of success
Starting point is 00:10:41 that you got to, you never stop going to the workout rooms and showing love to the Uncle Rails and the red kievers and you know what I mean? And the shit like that. So like, you stayed in the circuit around the comedians. Because that's where the real shit is. Like, it ain't doing them stages. If you know, you, I mean, y'all niggas do arenas and shit.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Like, you know sitting on that stage. That's one thing, but I'm gonna say this about y'all motherfuckers. Y'all fuck is treat an arena like a club. Facts. Y'all do. Y'all motherfuckers be in there talking directly to this motherfucker sitting right here is shit almost like you could touch the people. Me personally, when I'm at arena,
Starting point is 00:11:22 I'm kind of locked in and doing my shit, whatever. I'm at the comedy club. I could touch my fuckers in. Seeing me in your world. Yeah, bring them, bring them to my world. Right. You know, but it's just that practice, you know what I mean? As far as just constantly getting out there
Starting point is 00:11:39 making it happen and touching the people. You got to touch the people. Me personally, and I tell y'all this, this is a lot of comedians if you listen right now, writing material, man, isn't just always sitting up on this, it's living and shit, you know what I mean? And you gotta put yourself,
Starting point is 00:11:57 you gotta put yourself in situations you would normally be in on a regular basis. Right, right. If you do that, then you gonna come up with material all the fucking time. If you're doing the same shit every day, you're gonna be talking about the same shit and you're gonna be doing the same fucking material
Starting point is 00:12:16 because you fucking around eating the same food, going the same fucking bar, hang with these same motherfuckers. One day, one day, nigga, just go up and go to a dog show one day. Right, straight up. Just go, just go sit in that motherfucker and just sit there. You're going to be like, what the fuck is going on in here? And then you're going to go to the club, like,

Starting point is 00:12:51 Right, it's there. You write itself. You just, you went. Right. And that is right itself. Right. Yeah, but niggas be going to the same shit all the time. And so they talk about the same shit.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Nigger, I would go to a motherfucking medieval castle, nigga, and just sitting in that motherfucking, nigga, dead ass. I'm about mid-evil, me.

Starting point is 00:27:22 How are we going to write it? Like you say, experiences they write itself. But it'd be like, you can tell when a motherfucker put that pen on that pad, man. Yeah, it's definitely a system. And you've got to figure it out. and that shit didn't hit me into, to be real with you, that shit didn't hit me into about eight years into the game, maybe seven.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I don't know how to write some shit or whatever, but as far as that shit coming fluently like that, nigga, where I can sit back and, you know, do like I do now when I write shows and write for award shows and all that shit, that shit is just like I'm conditioned right now, you know, and then when you're working for a late night TV show, you gotta do that shit every night.
Starting point is 00:27:59 You gotta do that shit, you gotta do you gotta write it, you gotta produce it, You got a motherfucking cast it. You got to get props, you got to get all that shit. And you performed a lot of those things. Yeah, and I performed a lot of it too. So a lot of people, yeah. A lot of people don't know that comedians are we go through a lot of trouble.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So how do you stay in their mind, stay knowing that you're a regular person and you go through your own shit and you're dealing with real life shit, but you gotta go up here write a fucking joke? Well, that's the part that motherfuckers don't see your shit. You know, they don't see what niggas go through. go through, you know?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Right. I noticed many times, niggie, all y'all, y'all have been out. Fucking miserable. Bitch tripping, or your boys and stole some shit over that when somebody come in front of you. Hey! Man, let's take a picture, listen. You got to put that smile on, and you got to do that shit, and that shit just be like, you ain't never in your mind frame, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:56 Right. So what you have to do is you have to know that the misery is the job. Once you realize that, then everything else to kind of fall in place. You won't be as disappointed because expectation brings heartache. You can't have that shit.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You can't have, you can't be expecting shit. You have to go into this motherfucker and be like, yo, I'm going in here and I'm bombing the night. And whatever good, come out this motherfucker, I'm gonna put this shit to the side. I know you should look at it the other way like I'm gonna go ahead and do good or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:28 But that expectation is gonna bring you heartache. Me personally, it just don't work for me. I go in that go. I got 10 jokes, two gonna work. Let's go. And I go in that motherfucker and I bomb my ass off. But them two, the motherfuckers right there gonna be fired.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm gonna grab them two, put them in the bag, and I'm gonna write 10 more. And then two of them gonna work. And I'm gonna put them in the bag. And I'm gonna keep doing that shit. Until I got a motherfucker now. Is that the working process until now you're gonna go shoot your special? Because I know you ain't in the mind state that.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I'm funny going to bomb. You cast an hour worth of bombs. But you're not afraid of that failure. But I ain't afraid. That's the point that I'm making that you can't be afraid of that failure. You got to go into mind frame. Yeah, because motherfuckers are go,
Starting point is 00:30:14 you'll go to an open mic, see niggas ripping and shit. You won't even have a boss to go. You'll go up there doing your old shit or whatever just because the energy in the room was fucking popping like that. You'd be like, let me do my old shit so I can stay afloat. You do not want a bomb.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Because he worried about bomb in front of motherfuckers because they're gonna be on it. Yeah, like, you ain't even trying your new shit? Oh, my mom, that's what I'm being, right. This is the time you try all the new shit. This is when you try all your new shit. Every time I do a comedy club,
Starting point is 00:30:43 and I'm there doing five, six, seven shows. The first show I do, that's gonna be the worst show. Because that's gonna be show I'm trying all my new shit out that I can find out what I'm used for the rest of the week. But that first show, every first show, Thursday, first show Friday, whatever that is, that motherfucker is goddamn terrible.
Starting point is 00:31:05 So now when you can see this, they're like, don't get the first show. And the here, you're glad to me driving. But you, you're five, five, this is what you meant to. But it's funny to watch me bomb. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, Dion, sold out all weekend except Thursday. But the first show really fried, big.
Starting point is 00:31:33 The first show is. Yeah. Free shows on first. Yeah. What's the important to, you know, doing shows throughout the week? Because I see you just did your special and everything, and I was phenomenal. And then I see you come, do a weekend on the road and then come back through the week and then still do three, four, five shows in the middle of the week. How important is that for comedians?
Starting point is 00:31:54 So I'm in the position now where, you know, I did the special. When I dropped the special, I went right in the film. And so I haven't been able to live because I've been pretending to be somebody else. Right. And when you're doing that shit, I can't live, so I really ain't been nowhere. So I wrote material before I went to go film
Starting point is 00:32:15 and I had a whole bunch of shit written. But when I started filming, I wasn't living, so therefore I didn't have no jokes. So I had one show that I was supposed to do in Atlantic City at that time, so I went to go work out the shit that I did have and try to see if that shit worked. And thank God, like, at least fucking 40% of that shit worked.
Starting point is 00:32:39 And so, therefore, I had enough material to do the show and shit. But I was like, like, right now, nigga, I'm jokeless like a motherfucker because I ain't, I even lived. I've been filming and shit. So once I'm done filming, then I can live. And I go out and I can do this. That's your whole process. So when you did your special,
Starting point is 00:33:00 you like, new jokes over with. I ain't telling them ever again. They're done. Done. Never. Touching the stage, not saying none of that shit. So what I will do is I will do some jokes that's from like a way oldest special.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Right. Like something that's like I did on my first special or some shit like that. I'll regurgitate those and use those as a bridge until my other shit work. But as far as anything from my last special and the special before that
Starting point is 00:33:28 and the shit that I dropped on YouTube, you would never hear any of that shit ever. That's what I was. Yeah. Because that's the job. Like, we ain't, we ain't rocket scientists and shit. We ain't construction workers, nigga. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:42 You think, that's it. Like, you think about what's funny and you write that shit. But they swear this shit just be like, y'all be like this all the time and I had, bitch didn't I tell you, I just went through some shit and your bro is staking. Oh, you about to get good. No, you know how many motherfuckers I let down on the daily basis. The dickers come around, be like, hey, and I just be like, the fucking strong with you. I just, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:20 Like, every comic ain't no motherfucking pie in the face, man. I'm just not, nigga. Like, I'm not. Like, I let down a lot of people. They come around thinking I'm just soft shoeing and tap dancing and shit. And I'm more like a cerebral motherfucker. I go in the room and shut the fuck up,
Starting point is 00:34:37 listen to everybody and then leave out that motherfucker and write some shit. But I listen to everybody in the fucking room. And I learned how to play the room that way too, you know? Going to room and shut the fuck up, if you're talking about dogs and you're talking about how much you hate cats and how you love cars and shit
Starting point is 00:34:52 and how you love fish and shit, when it's time for me to talk, I can agree with all. all that shit y'all said. And I probably disagree with it. Right, but you know. But to play the room. I don't know what to say.
Starting point is 00:35:04 In order to lead that motherfucker, you know. Yeah. And that motherfucker's going, that motherfucker's great. And I walk out the door like, God damn. You know what I mean? But it's not how to play the room, though. And all that shit helps, like, in writers' rules, too. Writers' room is great too.
Starting point is 00:35:19 See, the thing, I'm, give you another tip. You got to get a motherfucking show. Anybody get a show. Do not feel your fucking show. I feel your fucking writer's room with a bunch of motherfuckers to think like you and shit. This is gonna be bullshit.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Every writer's room I have, nigga, I got a motherfucker in there, I can't stand. I hate that, can't stand that motherfucker. Because me and this motherfucker gonna constantly fucking go out of. Which is what shows are made of. Every show you know, it got conflict.
Starting point is 00:35:50 You know what I mean? Like Martin. It was Pam and Martin and Gene. You know, It's conflict. So why would you have your room on some of everybody getting together shit? Your writer's room
Starting point is 00:36:02 got to be just as fucking conflicted as the fucking show is. So anytime you get a motherfucker and you see a motherfucker and you be like, I hate this nigga. Hire. Higher.
Starting point is 00:36:14 That's crazy. Real shit. Yeah. That's real. That's real. That's real. That's the nigga to get. That's the nigga to get
Starting point is 00:36:22 because then you and that nigga you and that nigga are gonna sit back and argue constantly. And you're gonna come up with shit. You know what I mean? You're gonna be having different approaches. That's the shit. You're like, oh, this motherfucker, you think like this.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Man, I had this one nigga that used to work on this show of mine, the show I had called Black Box and shit I had on TBS and shit. Yeah, black box shit. I had this black dude on the show. He hated black women. He didn't fuck with no black culture. He ain't fuck with none. He's a nigga, he's black.
Starting point is 00:36:52 He just was like, yeah, like black people embarrass him. And this motherfucker's like, yeah, I don't like the women and none of that shit. And this nigga used to say that shit all the time. And niggas is like, keep that nigger away from here. And I was like, nah, hire that nigger. We hired that nigga, and we wrote the, me and that nigga, argued every day,
Starting point is 00:37:12 and I wrote the best shit in the world. Damn. You know what I mean? So if you ever get a room, nigga, get the motherfucker you hate in that motherfucker. Damn. So how did you go scout a motherfucker who you don't like? You over here because we hate that.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah, you'd be in comedy clubs, You see niggas, you know, niggas, you know niggas, you don't like, niggins, you don't like, niggins. So it's, like, you're giving them a job, but it's like, it's to get the best shit. It's to get the best shit. I hear some niggas you don't like in this motherfucker. You can't stand your pussy, but I got a job for you don't know. Yeah. I know it sound weird, nigger.
Starting point is 00:37:41 It's some bullshit, I guess. It's some bullshit, I guess. It's some bullshit, but you got to put your ego aside in order to hire that motherfucker in order to get with it. You know what I mean? I mean, it worked. I'm telling you. So how do you keep it on that basis instead of a nigga coming in
Starting point is 00:37:57 trying to play the shnate role and trying to get you out when you don't got the nigga high? Well, this is your show? Nah, nah, he ain't gonna do that. Like, he already know it's my show. So therefore he ain't gonna do it like that but he's gonna be opinionated.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And that's what I'm hiring for. I'm hiring the motherfucker to be opinionated. I want to know why you hate black women so much, you can ask that nigga offside of the work. Talk to that nigga on the phone or something when you get tired. I ain't put to get you into my workspace, No, I want that, nigga.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I'm arguing for a year, niggily, I know my black women. Speakerphone. Right man, fuck him. Like all that's, no. Pitch hat, niggins, I love black women, ho. This nigga, yeah. He's gonna say some shit you never would have thought of. You would have never thought of.
Starting point is 00:38:44 That's what they, that's what they do. Because you don't think like them. Right, right. You know what I mean? Right. Damn. You're gonna say some shit. He'll be like, nigga, what the fuck is you talking about?
Starting point is 00:38:55 Damn. But then you're going to be like, that's an episode. Did you see the game taking it that way? Like, even when you started writing, you was like, all right. But you said the writing is what kind of got you back into the space. I had this other show that was going to be on Comedy Central called Super Black, and I hired a whole bunch of niggas. And we sat in that motherfucker ate chicken and smoked weed.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Nigger, we kicked it in that motherfucker, nigga. Ain't wrote one good episode. Hell, yeah. But we had a good time with that motherfucker Nick, we're as black as fucking that motherfucking nigga. Y'all got up show, that's the show. But that's the, nigga, you need to be hired right now.
Starting point is 00:39:33 You tell me, you're out of him. Man, that should have been to show. When are we gonna do the show? That's the nigga you fired. When are we gonna write this episode? You're gonna fuck out of him. What are we going to write on? On the next episode,
Starting point is 00:39:48 the niggas nobody likes. Yeah, next to you know, the niggas is like, yeah, grab y'all. your shit. Fuck out of it. You was in an era where it wasn't no two week notice, no none. They just look and be like, hey,

So have you ever, well, you say you ain't scared to fail, but like, what's your favorite room? Because I come from theater.
Starting point is 00:40:36 So the arenas, I know the different feeling from theater, arena, comedy club. My favorite is always comedy club, because it's intense. I can bring them into my world. I know that the arena is more so like, okay, here's the show. Okay, here's the show. And theater is kind of like, it's in between. It depends on how it's set up. So it's like, what's your favorite to perform?
Starting point is 00:41:00 Comedy club. Comedy club is my favorite because it's less people. Right. And when it's less people, you can fix a problem easier that way. I mean, you can alternate your shit and whatever at the comedy club and shit. But theaters, you know, they dope, but it's intimate. Right. Comedy Club is more intimate and shit, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:29 Yeah. So I always go to a room. I'll just be popping up the shit. How do you find them? How do you find them? Shit, I just call. Well, you plugged in. Yeah, all you got to do is...

When you came and stopped that five points and you went around that laconna and you went up under that underground, nigger, that was the most people I ever seen in my life one time. And I ain't even get a chance to go in underground.

It ain't just that the niggas is coughing it up because they want to. They want that pussy, man. But look, she... 200, you would have said, and I bring my pussy back

Just, no, that was, she was going to hit you for some moment. That blew my mind and said, I ain't going to any lie. I was like, I just met you. Because she got wine, but she still need gay money.

She was setting you up to hit you for a few more because y'all was going to go out. The bitch told me to get her Uber, and she was eight minutes away.

That's what happened when you get caught up in the matrix of a hole. You gotta, you don't want to watch machine. You don't about to drive.

I ain't driven. It costs the laid out. With one hole, you meet another hole, and now you're about 36 layers deep in the whole matrix.
Starting point is 00:49:00 You gotta get out that circle. But see what it is, you damn, you're damn, you. Because if your friend knew I bought you that wash machine, bitch, she'd fit to double up. She'd be like, girl, you don't let these big,

Like, listen, I don't need to hear you riding down the black. riding down the block. You need to pull up as smooth impossible.

I thought I would give you good conversation to go out somewhere. Nah, they ain't fucking with all that good conversation. They ain't talking about me. You caught up in the whole matrix.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Ain't what it is, man. That's going to always cost a tax right out. Yes, the whole matrix is real. It's a tax right off. You fuck with one terrible motherfucker. They're going to lead you to three terrible motherfuckers. And now you got to just cut off everything. It's just like you got to get reset.
