Starting point is 00:00:41 for the rest of my life what that meant. For My Heart Podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. But in 2014, the youngest escaped. Listen to the children.

Hey, man, look, October 29th at the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee, Florida. Sam, you home from weekend.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Come to the show Friday. You know that you have to the show Friday. Sadden it. Can we go to the game? If we stay down there. Oh, I think I won't stay. Do I think I want to stay? Get your tickets at 85tyshow.com.
Starting point is 00:02:07 The Brazilians had the best ass. Why it ain't like an Australian buttliff? Ha ha ha ha ha. Or Alabama, Mississippi but a little. The Dominican is known for having that ass. Listen, I ain't seen all the asses, but I will say that the pictures I've seen from Brazil, they are top three. Real. On the carnivals and stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:02:27 They got some bubble butts down that they say. But I wouldn't, would you want, a fucking Mississippi buttleff or Brazilian butliff? Which one sounds more? I don't know. There's some fat asses in Mississippi. Are there some good surgeons, though? No, there's some, these is just straight cornbread, blackout peas.
Starting point is 00:02:43 When we grew up down the South, we never knew women didn't get surgery because they were all thick, they all had big asses and big titties. I mean, that's still the case with a lot of women now. I don't know why women go get these surgeons, especially if you ain't had no kids. You should just wait on your girls.
Starting point is 00:02:57 on your mama body. That's when the ass and the titty show up after them babies. So are you saying that women don't get ass from doing squats? They get ass from their jeans because their mama had the jeans. No, I'm saying they get ass
Starting point is 00:03:10 after they didn't have two or three babies. Like, God, got another body for most women that's gonna come later on in life. Everybody know that. The finest motherfuckers was skinny as hell 10 years ago. Them the thickest ones.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Can I tell you that little boy? Can I tell you what happened? What? Okay. At home boy. We ain't gonna say that name. Okay. He tried to act like he was a doctor and had professional advice.
Starting point is 00:03:36 He knew how to get chicks thick. First, you get a pregnant. Two months later, Megan had an abortion. He did that three times, six months. Had a dime piece. No kids, no stretch marks. Stallion. I didn't approve of it, but that's why I ain't want to say his name.
Starting point is 00:03:50 That's $900. That's $900. Don't ask me how I know the man. 72,900 ain't that. I've heard that's about $900, which you've just described. For real? I thought it was more than that. That should easily, you know how much cornbread
Starting point is 00:04:06 you could just fucking eat and get the same ass? I think the perception is wrong. Just like y'all said about being tall. I don't think women want tall men. What they want then? I think women want men with big dicks, and it's associated with tall men sometimes. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And I don't think no one got no problem. Who told you that? Women say that, women say they like big dick. You know what I mean? If any women out here like, if a woman don't like, Man with a big dick sheen shit, but a little girl who never faced nor feels. And God put us, that's all. I ain't even got to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I'm going to get baptized this Sunday. But I'm just saying, I'm listening to y'all. Do you understand that women have so many dick substitutes that it is? Yes. Yes. Huge big substitutes. Yes, they do. And I'm just saying what I think.
Starting point is 00:04:47 What? What I just said. You all right? They got dick surgery, too. You can exting your dick. What's going on? There's right here, man. There ain't no coming back from that.
Starting point is 00:04:59 They put rods in your shit or something. I don't know how it worked. I didn't click the link. I wasn't neither. I thought that was spam. I thought it was a Facebook spam, man. I ain't know that shit was real. I feel like I'm in the drug.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Just for real. Damn. I just think, I think if you could, like if a girl go, I don't want to fuck with you. I don't like short niggas. And then you decide to drop 72 racks. Pick you up a quick, three, four inches. You should be allowed.
Starting point is 00:05:26 to come right back, no questions asked. That's some, that's some, that's some, that's some bullshit. That's no different than I'm saying plans. Why would you, why would you be hung up on what one bitch like? The same reason other people get, that's the whole point of fucking plastic surgery. I'm not going to fix myself for one bitch when I know it's, it's 10 moded already. But you never done that? You never, you never done something that you don't want to like.
Starting point is 00:05:50 You see me. I ain't say you changed, I'm just saying in general. You have self-esteem. So this thing for you. But I'm saying, like, even if I did spend $72,000 on whatever, I'm not going to go talk to the same motherfucker. I'm going to go try these new motherfuckers out. Why would I spend $72,000 on some new legs
Starting point is 00:06:08 to talk to the same motherfucker who didn't like my old leg? I need to go talk to somebody who ain't never seen me. There's new me. You're lying. You're lying. Short me was fucking with you. Lose, you're a lion. You think so?
Starting point is 00:06:26 It's the same height ain't no different than bread. You was broke, a girl wouldn't fuck with you. Like, remember when you didn't have a car in high school? You think I didn't double back and fuck all them women that I couldn't fuck when I was broke? Somebody did that. Somebody get this man, man. I spent that block.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Oh, you get knocked on. So it's the same shit. And then when they started liking me, I was like, nope. Nope. You're going to get your height, and you're going to hobble the block. No, I'm not. You know, I'm going to get the shit, and I'm 6'3. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:06:56 about nobody that I've already met. I want to talk to them women who told me they're not interested because they, you know what I'm saying, I'm going over there. I don't know none of them. I don't know their names. I don't know what they're into. I want to hear their stories.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But you're not going, number one, if you add too much height. He ain't never stopped me from having any woman. Not you, but Gary Coleman was out here. You know what I'm saying? He had three wives, Nick. Yeah, he got on with different strokes. Nothing's impossible. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:07:27 So you're saying that height surgery is for men who don't believe in their own abilities. Hype surgery is for motherfuckers who like experimental shit. Fine, because they don't know the side effects of that shit. It's too new. Fuck around and get some new legs. Now you can't fly. Every time you get on the fucking plane, it's excruciating pain. But you didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:07:50 You wouldn't know. Exactly. Now your body and your mind hasn't accepted these new legs and you can't even see. and you can't even sit down right to shit. Mm-hmm. And all the way you found out. Yeah, you had to go through a whole physical therapy. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:08:02 And just like you said, fuck around. I was thinking about the surgery. Roy, why are you thinking about the surgery? I'm just saying, you fuck around and get the surgery, just like Roy said. Now your arms ain't even long enough to piss right. You just got to take your whole pants down and just stand up there. Oh, you got to sit out repeat.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You got a hole on or something. You got to put your legs out with your shit. You're just all on the toes. You just all on the toes. It's fucked up. Nah, I don't do that shit. What did you start doing comedy at? Birmingham.
Starting point is 00:08:32 At the start at home? Oh, it was another spot? Well, you know, I split time because I was still at FAMU, so... Man, what made you go to FAMU? So you got to answer all this shit. Because we always show love to the HBCU and, you know, Clayton went to FAMU. Clayton was right behind me, man. You graduated from Alabama in Birmingham High School?
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah. Why didn't go to Alabama State, Alabama A&U? Tell you why? Come on with it. So, moms went to A&M. My pops used to be a professor at A&M. He even popes went like the Nobel Peace Prize or something? No, he did a lot of, he was for the people.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Oh, okay. He was definitely, he won a lot of journalism. He's got NADJ lifetime achievement. I say, let me find out you know Reverend Wood, it down and down. Yeah, Abraham Woods, yeah, my pops. Hold on, hold on, the agitator? Yes. Like, get the, dude, my pops rammed out.
Starting point is 00:09:21 My pops was embedded in, you should find me any civil rights picture. My Pops was there. Yeah. My granddad had to know what that was reported. Like, my father, man. I know what your dad, my dad is. He was, he was like, I mean, I'm going all the way back to the 50s. Like, Zimbabwe, Civil War.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Soweto riots in South Africa. My Pops, at the time, he was still in Chicago. When they started fucking over the black soldiers in Vietnam, my Pops volunteered to be embedded with black Vietnam soldiers to report on the racism. Like, basically, wherever there's racism, my daddy was like, I don't see what the fuck. And then he came back to Chicago during the 60s, during the civil rights movement. And then that's when they started W-V-O-N, the Voice of the Negro, which was like basically black Twitter.
Starting point is 00:10:05 It was like black CNN. So any black news, any news that was relevant to black people, they were the ones that reported that shit. He hired Don Cornelius. That's Roy Daddy that hired Don Canilias. You remember when they did American Soul? That dude, that was Roy Daddy who did that. Yeah. Now, my daddy didn't get no money from Soul Train because he didn't think the idea was good.
Starting point is 00:10:29 He was wrong about that. A little lady? He was way wrong about that. My dad's fucking Don Cornelius. Don Cornelius was the stories it was told to me. Don Cornelius was going around Chicago, you know, getting money from folks to shoot the pilot for Soul Train. My daddy gave him a rack. So about a month or two go by.
Starting point is 00:10:52 He can't sell the pilot to Soul Train. And won't nobody fuck with it. My daddy go back to Don Cornelius. He'd go, you know, nigger, where the money is? Don, it's like, rather than me pay you back, let me make you a producer. You could be a part of this shit. My pops told Don't nobody want to watch niggas dance
Starting point is 00:11:16 for an hour. That probably was an exact word. Don't nobody want to watch niggas dance what? Four hour. One hour. But you gotta remember, this is like 68, 69, and you gotta remember my daddy's pedigree. My daddy's pedigree, it's just straight woke shit.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Like, his nigga been shot at, he been beat. Like, the struggle ain't no game. Motherfucker, we out here, these motherfuckers trying to kill us. And you're trying to put niggas and do a spelling bee on a goddamn TV show? Cuss them out, Cust them out. Man, you're going to jail, boy.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You gotta's kidding. That is my money, Don. Yeah. Then he pulled a little pissed out and sat on his left. You got 46 hours. 46 hours. A off number. Two of them already clever me getting out of the cup.
Starting point is 00:12:03 So yeah, I went to FAMU, man. I wanted to get the fuck out of Alabama for a minute, but I wanted to be close while I knew some folks who had my back. Also, at the time, I thought I was going to play baseball. You appreciate this. Pamu's baseball team was trash in the 90s. Okay. So my stupid ass thought I could walk on.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I could walk on. And I thought, and I didn't know this, but at college, everybody's good. Just because we lost don't mean we suck, nigga. I showed up and was cut immediately. Boy, some team gonna pick that up. That's what you said. Just because we lost don't mean we suck.
Starting point is 00:12:42 That is, man. That's like in the NFL and stuff like that, man. Somebody gonna have that tape to the dugout. Don't get that to the Jag. They are. They do something. But yeah, so that's why I ended up, man. So when your dad went to Vietnam, he went there just reporting, though.
Starting point is 00:12:59 My dad, my dad was in Vietnam. They were shooting everybody the same. Yeah, no, no, no. My dad was in Vietnam then. He used to be shell-shocked. Lowe's met him. But my dad used to, when I was like eight years old, man, my dad still suffered from it.
Starting point is 00:13:12 He used to always say how it was over there, you know what I mean? Like, when I was eight years old, I used to, I used to have to sleep with a bulletproof vest on. Stop talking to him, man. Just stop talking. He'll wake up, though. Sometimes they'll wake up like, yeah, dad. Don't shoot with the four, five.
Starting point is 00:13:27 You got to shoot with the nine or something. Like, stop talking. I'm trying to talk about my life up in here. Hey, man, welcome back to the 85, seven. This one right here full of shit. You know, I don't know. He full of shit. I'm the only motherfucker that can tolerate him, man.
Starting point is 00:13:44 The last people that came by the Vietnam on the helicopter. My dad was on the helicopter at the Hilton. At the Hilton. The Illinois Hilton? Man, I'm probably. Not in the Illinois, is the Hilton hotel. It was some Hilton or something.
Starting point is 00:13:56 It was a hotel that went from Vietnam to the Hilton Hotel. I'm talking about him. I'm talking to him. I'm trying to give them, I'm trying to help this man. He's just a guess. Man, look, bro. I'm saying, I'm saying it was a hotel, the famous hotel at the end of Vietnam that they always showed. Ain't no famous hotel in the man.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I'm saying the famous. I'm saying the. What? Is that what the name of it is? Yes, nigg. I said it for a time. What? What?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Lowe's up here trying to act like you was up here talking about the 12 in Atlanta or something like that. You know what I know you were talking about the hill. You see how he tried to act like it with a chain. Like we're talking about the hotel six in Vietnam. Don't talk to this nigga no one. This nigga is crazy. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:14:33 So I get arrested, I get on probation. I started doing stand up. What happened? Hold up, where the fuck that come from? I'm still in the jeans. Oh, look, last three, before he started talking about the fucking Hilton in Vietnam, we was talking about Famu Baseball.
Starting point is 00:14:46 You asked me, you asked me. And I got cut from Famu Baseball. For stealing jeans? No, nigger. I could not hit the baseball. Oh. Well, wouldn't you start stealing jeez? I had to find a new gift after I learned I couldn't hit a baseball.
Starting point is 00:15:01 So it's like did you spiral into depression and start stealing losing? Who got you into it? You ain't just saying I'm feeling still. Somebody got you in that shit. Yeah, because you, I feel like that's not you. Hold on. So did you get like depressed and just start spiraling? Yeah, because I thought I'm going to put water.
Starting point is 00:15:17 No, no, I'm good. What we're doing? I'm reading this paper. What they're paper saying? November 6th. November 6th. We're going to be in Greensboro, man, at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:33 In Greensboro, North Carolina. Greenboro, North Carolina. What day? November 6. That's right. Hit the website 85-shopshild.com. Okay. I'm going to start spiraling.
Starting point is 00:15:49 So everything. else going good in baseball. You just can't hit this. No, baseball, baseball trash. Oh. Baseball have him. I go work at Shoney's. What made you sing?
Starting point is 00:15:58 What made you even think he was, what made you do that? The baseball shit. Like, you was good in your area. You saw Michael Jordan down in Birmingham. I was, no. I wasn't good in my area, but I was like, maybe. He was gonna get better here.
Starting point is 00:16:10 If you just keep drives. He's definitely just. Bo Jackson, from Alabama, right? You didn't went down there. He played baseball? Yeah. But you're talking about Hall of Fame level talent. And baseball and football.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I was on the bench. You can't compare me. But you made the team a little bit? Family? Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. Like three days of trials.
Starting point is 00:16:33 No, nigga, this is the other thing. Triouts was one day they made cuts every 75 minutes, Nick. I was going by the year 64. Damn. It was like 40 people and it was like, we're going to keep two of y'all by the end of the day. If we do uncut, if we call every 75 minutes, they call the numbers. And if your number was like squid game, your number on the chest and your number get called, you stay.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And so that was it. And so I started working, and then you get tired of being broke. At Showness. Yeah, I'm like, well. Shonis had the dope-ass breakfast buffet. And then I went over to Golden Corral. Okay. And so culinary.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Culinary. Upgrade. You were coming at what you were doing the job. Cook and sweeper what you were doing. No, I was serving, man. How they're getting that tip money. Cracking jokes at the table. That's low-te.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Open mic. Hell, yeah. You figure out which joke work at this table. You do it at every table for the rest of the day. By the end of your shift, you got a five-minute set. So I used to, like, fuck around with that. And then when I saw what it was, when Ricky Smiley popped on Comment View, that was like, oh, that's some shit that I think I could try.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Because that was the first person from the crib. Because, you know, you know, it's Alabama. Don't nobody give you no dreams other than marriage and get you a good job. Yeah. Yeah. About you a Buick? Well, Cutler Supreme. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I mean, my daddy was a stank in Lincoln, man. Okay. Y'all grew up with some class then. Yeah, Lincoln. Yeah. Yeah. Real smooth. You could turn that bitch like this.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Great power staring. So I started looking at stand-up comedy. And then at the same time, like, I figured out how we could boost shit from Dilitz. So I was doing that for a minute. We got caught. Okay. Well, yeah, me and some other folks, but I mean, I ain't... You had a blue jeans still in the ring.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Nah, it wasn't just blue jeans. It was... If it was in Dillies, I could figure out way to get it to you. All right, bet. Well, let's just move on. We don't want to dwell on that. You're so successful now. So, you know, that's what happened, man.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I started doing stand-up, and I would take the bus up to Atlanta, get booed uptown. Take the bus back to Tallahassee. What you went uptown down, don't? Marietta or the one of Peace Tree? No, the one on Peace Tree over in Buckhead. Right, but I would give up. This is Sunday night.
Starting point is 00:18:50 This is like 98-99, so this is Nard Holston, earthquake era. Okay. What's some of the wildest shit you've seen up there? Shit, I'll just say me. The night I bombed, and then the waitress still made me buy two drinks. And I told the waitress, I said I was one of the comedians. She said, you wasn't up there funny, baby. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:18 That wasn't comedy, baby. You got to buy two drinks. You're sitting in my section. Bitch was going to jail. I know she did. So I get booed, wash, rinse repeat. I go down to Macon. But then in the South, what I peep is that
Starting point is 00:19:33 if you're going to work every week, it can't just be black rooms. So that's why I started kind of crossing over a bit. So you go to Biloxi, do the casinos. You go down to Florida, do all the old folks shit. By that point, you get down to Miami, do Marvin Dixon, had to Tuesday. night at that point. White people are confused you
Starting point is 00:19:50 though if you're on the come up. Because white people make you feel like you should have made it already. Dude, you're the fucking best I've ever seen, man. And I go, listen, I go to comedy shows, man. I've seen them all, bro. You fucking got it. Then you walk your ass into Uptown
Starting point is 00:20:11 on a fucking... Man, all nobody know you! I got... Blay shit. The craziest shit I heard the niggins say in the comedy show, he told the nigga on stage bomb. He said,
Starting point is 00:20:22 nigga, kill yourself and I'll pay for the film. I don't know where to fuck. Like, how dark of a person do you have to be to yell out some shit like that as somebody trying to make you laugh? You know what was fair? In hindsight, what was fair about Atlanta, like the Atlanta scene was that.
Starting point is 00:20:40 They hate everybody. They hate everybody. And next week, it's a clean slate. Yeah. Yeah, they'll give you a chance to be good. Yeah, so there was never like no residual old Asterniga from last week. I hate. It's let's see what this week brings. But that's what keep it. That's what keep it constant. And that's fair. Every show is different. You know what I mean? You learn that early. I started out of D.C. I've seen this one comedian who used to be around here bomb about 700 times in a row. He used to bomb about three times a night, but he would go up at every spot.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Same bits? Same bit. When nobody pulled him to the side and go, hey, man. It didn't matter. It was just like you never said that. Everybody tried, but he just, he never gave up. That's that mechanism that they can't get past, though. That's that.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Even when he didn't bomb, he didn't do good. And he just still, and he just eventually gave up. I don't even know if he gave up. I think he's still out there bombing somewhere. Your entire identity. has been fabricated. Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace.

Do you remember Vine? It changed the internet forever, and it vanished in its prime.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I'm Benedict Townsend, and this is Vine, six seconds that changed the world. The untold story of genius, betrayal, and the app that died so that TikTok could thrive. From overnight stars to the fall that no one saw coming, we're breaking down what made Vine iconic. Listen to Vine on the hi-heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I always had to be so good, no one could ignore me. Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling.
Starting point is 00:23:26 The limitations from degree screens to stereotypes that are holding back over 70 million stars. Workers skilled through alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree. It's time for skills to speak for themselves. Find resources for breaking through. Through Barriers at TaylorPapersealing.org. Brought to you by Opportunity at Work and the Ad Council. No, so I just kept going on the road, bro. Like, that was my thing, because I could never...
Starting point is 00:23:52 Who was one of the first people who put you on the road with him? Like, with a name that was selling tickets and shit? I say the first nigga really put me on was probably Tommy Davidson and D.L. Hughley. Like, that kind of happened in the same way. D.L. probably did me the biggest solid. without even realizing it. When I started in radio, so Ricky Smiley left Birmingham
Starting point is 00:24:16 to go to Dallas to start with, you know, everything he got today. And so I took over for Ricky and the comedy club wouldn't let me host on the weekends because that's, you know, that's the big X or whatever. That's who they should have had, the radio nigga, that's stupid. But that's no way is the thing, so that's what happened.
Starting point is 00:24:34 So this is how I got on the radio in Birmingham. I go to the radio DJ, shout out to the, you know, my man Buck Wild, and Buck, he goes, well, we're not having any more comedians. Ricky left, and no one can be as funny as Ricky. That sounds like a white man. Well, white, he's mixed. It's solid, it's solid, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:24:54 That's the white man in them saying that, though. Okay, so then I know that the radio station hosts a black night. So I go to the comedy club, and I go, hey, I just got hired at the radio station. So let me host Fadio Hugley. The club go cool. I go back to the radio station. Hey, comedy club just booked me for D.L. Hughley. If I rip, you let me come back an intern.
Starting point is 00:25:19 And they go cool. So then Friday night come. All I got to do is keep radio man away from the comedy club, man. I go up and do three minutes. You know, you just had a one set that you needed that fucking night. Yeah. Kill shit, fucking magic, dog. I walk off stage, radio niggis standing right there.
Starting point is 00:25:37 He says, see you Monday morning, bring Chick-fil-A. And then I go in the green room, and D.L. Hugley is there, and you go, you did a good job. Tell you what, open for me the whole weekend. D.L. ain't had to do that. And you know I like the O.Gs travel. They already got a set. The show is set. They got their open.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Right. And they definitely ain't letting nobody else on the show. I don't know what it was, man. But, like, that vouch gave me the tape to get booked everywhere else in the South. Yeah. Nashville, Chattanooga. Real major. Set it all.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Now see, it's a lot of motherfuckers out there hating this shit. They hate that. They bitch had. It don't cost you nothing to let a nigga do what a nigga was going to do. That's all it is. I ain't never. Like, that was probably one of the most solid fucking vouchers. Man, and look what you did with it.
Starting point is 00:26:28 You got it fucking, you got to deliver, though. That's the thing. You don't be fucking ready. Like, that's the part of it that I always appreciate it. But that's why, like, even now, man, I try to, like, I try to connect with younger comics, man, because they're the ones that's got all the sauce. They know what the fuck is going on
Starting point is 00:26:46 because they're into the street. I'm too busy writing, editing, being a daddy. Young niggas, when they broke and they hustling, they know every which way, which angle. They know which app. Put them on, put them on the show with you. Because now I can put money in your pocket and I get to sit and talk with you for 20, 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:27:05 between the show and figure out what the fuck is going on. out there. Yeah, yeah. It's like you paying, like low-key, I'm not even having an opener, I don't care about your jokes, I'm paying for you to give me the game. And that's worth paying a little extra for. So, you know, that's what I try to do now, because, you know, like, what is Seelot said,
Starting point is 00:27:26 everybody is somebody because of somebody else. That's real. That's real right now. So, you know, that just never left me, man. Hell yeah. I feel like as entertainers, man, sometimes it's like, we kind of owe that to the entertainment game. Because like you said, who's to say that it might,
Starting point is 00:27:46 it might be this dude's night to change his life, to hit him with that five minutes set because somebody watching, somebody might see him. You know what I'm saying? He might just be, he might just be do for some good luck, man. It didn't work this shit out. But then be the same cast that's gonna help. This is the other thing I learned, dog.
Starting point is 00:28:06 That's the one upside, though, to work in the road. Like, instead of being in L.A. or New York, and it's probably the same, it's for sure the same shit in the A. When you work the South and the Midwest, starting out, you see, every week you see all the different ways your career could go. You open for every type of comedian. You open for alcoholics. You open for the ones that's hustling.
Starting point is 00:28:30 The ones that's on drugs. The ones that be disappearing, the weird ones. The ones who ain't ever wrote a new joke in five, six years. years and they slowly starting to fall off the ones who don't do nothing but chase fucking women the whole fucking night yeah like and you start seeing oh well if I make that choice that's gonna happen I make this choice it's like you get you get a you get a preview into all of the different fucking buckets your career could go into you can see the younger comedians come in and how they come in and do that too you know yeah the cycle yeah so you know that's that's that's my shit man is I sit on Instagram and watch everybody. Any stand-up joke, anything, I want to see what the fuck everybody's doing. I don't want to see nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I'd be trying to unplug. I don't even want to know what they're talking about. I love it. I love it. Because I'm still a fan of the craft. I'm not saying y'all and, you know, doing what y'all do. But I just like watching what other folks are doing, man,
Starting point is 00:29:28 because I still sometimes just enjoy seeing different perspectives and shit. Oh, you mean like the whole internet craze? Like videos and everything? I'm just sketch this, but I'm talking stand-up, too. Like, I know a lot of comedians don't watch other comedians. Yeah, I don't be watching a lot of comedies. Right, not that I'm like, because I don't, because I hate them or something, I'm just. It's a create, you want to make sure that your career process is pure.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Exactly. Correct. So I'm like, well, let me see what they're doing. Because that, that started, because I didn't book Comic View, so I got mad. You never did it? No, I did it, but like, I got turned down the first two years. I never did. You know it's fucked up about Comic View?
Starting point is 00:30:04 A lot of shit was fucked up about. They looked at everybody. What was really fucked up about Common View is that they would send you a letter to let you know you weren't selected. You could just tell me. Just don't call me, and I will assume that I get, but they would send you a letter.
Starting point is 00:30:19 With a letter heads. He's in VHSA tape. Newop Inc. Newop Inc. Shout out to Steve Harvey's old company. And with Sean McDonald. They used the word for him. Yeah, so they know.
Starting point is 00:30:31 It was a blue logo with a little thin end and the, yeah. The loop and the overlap the end. I fucking remember that rejection letter. You were not selected this year for the comic views. Keep trying. It's like an uplifting paragraph at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And then you watched it and he was like, man, fuck this shit. Yeah. I used to show up down to two of the comic views, man. You know about that shit? Showing up to the... Being an alternate? Being out.
Starting point is 00:31:02 That was... Come on, man. But you'd be the alternate boy. I mean, you're just going down. Just waiting on something to happen. No, no, no, because you show up and you get to see all the comedians who ain't never put you over shit.
Starting point is 00:31:11 You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody knew about it except you. You were just in the club with everybody there. It's the equivalent of flying standby on a flight. Yes. But trying to get on TV. Yeah. So you show up to the venue
Starting point is 00:31:22 and hope someone else that's book does not show. Right. You hope he dies in a car crash. Yeah. Nobody had no cell phones like that. And then the producer would just come out. Yeah, we don't see Zoo Man. Ah!
Starting point is 00:31:35 It literally boiled down to who you knew. And so, like, I went to Comic View Party garage year. The New Orleans. The New Orleans, where Bruce Bush was talking about me. Correct. That's when they stopped me. So, I was in the lobby, and the only nigga that I knew was Akitouin'ay and Spanky Brown. Spanky Brown.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Spanky Brown. All right, Peter Spank. And so those were my two dudes, but they were barely in themselves. And I peeped game, and I see Spanky trying to. like get the producer's attention. You're like, hey, get it. I'm like, oh, no, I didn't drove all the way down there for nothing. You know who played that shit right, though?
Starting point is 00:32:14 Who? It was fucking shoddy, shoddy. Shardy came down there, and this nigger went out in the audience line and just started roasting niggas in line. Yeah. Just, like, you just hear as a fucking alternate, so fuck it. I'm a roasting. Got on.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Killed you. Murdered. And I'm just like, That ain't in me. That ain't what I do. So I just couldn't fucking do comedy that year. So I got pissed about it. So I went in that whole season.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Let me see who was. I came down with Tony Woods, but go ahead. I remember the last one, though. So I sit down and I just, I watched Comic View for a whole year, and I made a list of every topic that every nigga discussed. Straight spreadsheet, handwritten. Every night I check sex, ugly people, cripples, baby mamas, poverty joke. poverty joke
Starting point is 00:33:06 sex women need to suck dick made a list of everything that every nigga every subject that was broken on the show that year and the next year I just
Starting point is 00:33:17 I'll talk about anything but that stuff y'all gonna fuck with me if nothing else because I'm different so that just forced my writing into a place where even if I ain't the funniest
Starting point is 00:33:28 let me at least start in a place that nobody else is cooking and then if I can make it funny now I'm funny in original. Yeah, man, because white comedians can say any fucking thing, and that shit just worked. Oh, McDonald had a farm. So I'm at a farm, right? The white people go crazy. Dude, you hear the farm joke? So, uh, fucking rocks. Oh, McDonald.
Starting point is 00:33:52 By the fucking farm. Can you believe this shit? You know, you know who's underrated to me and that shit where they can just take a sentence and work that shit over and over again as fucking J.B. Smooth. Jay B. Smooth can go on stage. You could give him three sentences and he will do a 10 minute joke of three, just callbacks and you ever just seen an orange in the store?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Just an orange, just a motherfucking orange. It's a little green. I don't trust that little green part of the orange. Why is that shit green? Why don't you pick that orange if it wasn't completely orange, the other fuck is green? And he will just milk and milk and milk. He has jokes that are just,
Starting point is 00:34:34 Like you said, it was just saying this. It's like, he didn't do with the shit, he's like, ain't nothing in the world faster than pune. Pume is the fastest shit in the world. Nothing faster than pume. This nigga had this joke about this fucking, the 50 cent song, that song with Tony Yeo. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:57 What is that shit? So seductive. But he was acting like, oh, that's the best song of a fucking man. Niggas can drive a stage coach to that mother And he would fucking stagecoach. And he would act like he'd drive the stagecoach of this shit. But he's like, he had these big ass boots, man.
Starting point is 00:35:12 This shit was, it's one of the funniest fucking opening jokes I have ever seen a comedian dude. Because he was doing this shit for like 10 minutes. Man, I'm reading this paper, DC. What is he you feel? It says November the 5th we're supposed to be in like. Little Johnson. Yeah, at the North.
Starting point is 00:35:29 That's him. Yeah, exactly. And that's in South Carolina. Carolina. You gotta say that. So it's like, What hell is you talking about? That's great. And I'm trying to brass to do it. Okay, man.
Starting point is 00:35:52 So that's the type of shit that's going to be happening in November 5th when we get to Charleston, man. So make sure you get those tickets. It's the website 85 Southwit. What's the date? Return to the ghetto letters, man. Get you some tickets. Why are you playing with yourself? No trust me. Shout man.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I wish I could remember the joke he had about getting pulled over, like a dude behind him, like a police or something like that. You know what I'm saying? He was saying the dude was acting like a police behind him. You know what I mean? Yeah, making the sound and stuff like that that somebody was throwing rocks at them. Whatever it was at a club like in New York, man.
Starting point is 00:36:28 You know what I mean? Like one of the spots. I came up in the New York bracket. When we did last comic standing watching this nigga try to read them goddamn cue cards. Y'all did Last Comic Stand it together? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:43 No, he was one of the hosts. I did 2010. The one thing Last Comic Standing did for me it makes you complete. It was 2010. This was the first year when the first year. It was like the early days of live tweeting.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Give me some pimping on this one, man, because here it go. This is a little pimp shit. If you on the show, your job is to interact with the social media and all of that shit. And every night, every Monday night, you had to get online and interact with all the people who's watching last comic standing. And just in the hashtag, you just see people saying the most terrible shit about you. Oh, yeah. It was for the YouTube. Not for the most part.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I mean, YouTube was around, but just in terms of just. seeing people go, Nick ain't funny, nigga, fuck Martin Luther King, hit-ass, nigga. And just every fucking Monday for two months, I had to read all this terrible shit.
Starting point is 00:37:44 And on the other side of it, I was like, oh, this shit I'm bothering them. It was like, for like a week or two that shit'll fuck with you. And then after that, you're like, oh man, y'all niggas just bored and just need something to hate the internet.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Oh, you ought to read some of the comments that be on this show. Oh, I'm sure, it's YouTube. YouTube go hard. Yeah, some motherfuckers wait till 58 minutes in. Do they ever tell you the truth? Do YouTube ever tell the truth to or not? No.
Starting point is 00:38:10 They don't, I think they're, like, I wonder about the shit that we don't get to see. How did that shit even get through the filter? You know, they don't show you all that shit. Oh, yeah, they still. Because they don't want you to really know how good your shit really is. You imagine you click on one of these fucking episodes.
Starting point is 00:38:26 This bitch got 85,000 comments. It's 2 million followers. You mean to tell me we won't give 300 comments or show? Man, kiss my dick. Somebody lying, man. It's two men. Bro, we got shows that have

Starting point is 00:39:11 Hey, man, welcome back to their fast self-show. Man, gotta ask you about some of my favorite shit, man. You know, you've put in a lot of great work, man. You got a lot of great stand-up material out there. Are you in the rotation with... You've been in the rotation since the premium blend. Yeah. Oh, four.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Yeah. The one of my favorite shit is I consider it a classic in my list of comedy classic. Slap you to sleep, man. Oh, the prank call out. Man. I asked one I did. Yeah. That was 07.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Man, tell me about it. How you put that together, like, what was... Put it a year on it. It's timeless. It's timeless comedy. Yeah. So I was doing the prank calls, and Ricky left. Ricky had left
Starting point is 00:40:01 Birmingham so Ricky was known for pranks so when I got hired at 957 they was like well you gotta do pranks you can do whatever fuck else you want but you're gonna do pranks right so then what I peep I peep game that
Starting point is 00:40:16 we was doing pranks this is like 0203 this is pre-U2 right and I'm taking these pranks we airing them one time and we ain't doing shit else with them no more
Starting point is 00:40:28 So I go to my boss I'm like I put these online on the website that's when I set up my webpage set the web page put the prank calls on there this one going
Starting point is 00:40:40 this is when you went viral over email yeah there was a time young people tell them a stranger would send you a fucking file and you would
Starting point is 00:40:50 download that bitch like that was hey trust me this file You didn't call the nigger and go, niggas, you hacked. You just trusted it. How long did it take the download?
Starting point is 00:41:04 About 40 minutes. Three-minute prank call or some shit. So I started putting the CDs together, and they started running me in consignment in the black-owned shops around town. And then a couple of DJs started getting a hole of my shit. So my shit started getting put on a chameleon air, put my shit on a bunch of his mixtapes.
Starting point is 00:41:25 And so the prank started traveling around, to other radio stations, and that's how I started getting booked in other comedy clubs and other markets. It's because I would just send them pranks. I would send them just a whole ass fucking floppy disk. This is before USB stick-dress. With the metal slide, that joint,
Starting point is 00:41:44 I would mail that bitch to a radio station go, my nigga play this shit for me. All you gotta do is say my name. I don't want no bread. I bet you got a cell phone with a little rotary dial on that motherfucker, we go ahead. And then I'd like to say a little,
Starting point is 00:41:57 And then I let that shit marinate on the radio station in that market for like two months. And I'd turn around and call the comedy club and go, you got to fuck with me. I'm on the radio. Yep. And that's how I would get booked. And so I do a CD. And so that was this lady. So Hurricane Katrina happens.
Starting point is 00:42:16 And after the comic view. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the Cheryl Underwood year. I remember they stopped the film and I was done. They kicked me out of that motherfucker. So you should have been leaving the city. A fucking hurricane was coming. Man, I know, we didn't know,
Starting point is 00:42:30 but we didn't know if it was gonna be that bad. None of us knew it gonna be that bad. No, but they, it wasn't the hurry. They were like, nigga, we're not making no more TV. Everyone leave town. Yeah. And your ass was still waiting. I don't know me, man.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Right, right, right. Don't leave my hang on. Too many people looking, don't you know. They're gonna shut the motherfucker down because I'm supposed to be on it. I'm an alternate. Third alternate. No, they stopped about four shows
Starting point is 00:42:52 or five shows. It was like 15 comedians, man. But I had already got stopped from the first comic view. I said, God. Damn. So, you remember Katrina hit, and people got relocated all over the south. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:06 So at the time, that shit was some tense shit, because there was a lot of cats that were coming from New Orleans in certain parts. I know what was happening in Houston. It was for sure happening in Birmingham. I just speak on Birmingham. Where cats was coming, and it was starting to be, like, starting to be tents between folks. You know, a little bit of turf wall, a little bit of just. Why these folks come in and taking out of violence is fuck in Atlanta. I ain't, I'm trying to be nice about it.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Man. Yeah. It was tense because you had a lot of different sets mixing that normally don't have to mix. Yeah, man. When that shit happened, all the violence everywhere went up. Now, the violence went up, but I remember, but I remember still that everybody was coming together. I know the black folks definitely, you know what I'm saying? That's why I was violent.
Starting point is 00:43:50 When you put black people together, there's going to be some violence. Now, I'm talking like before, when we saw everybody down there like that, you know what I'm saying? We saw that it was the black people that was- Well, but we're talking about when they left, and they was violent. I'm not saying it wasn't love. There was definitely love in the mix of all of that, in blankets and toys and shelter and all that shit. But it was also niggas that was like,
Starting point is 00:44:09 yo, I'm here to get money. And the locals was like, no, you are not. They was like, by any fucking means. And that shit was, it was, so it was tense. So I called a lady told her we was going to cut her Social Security check to give money to Hurricane Katrina victims. She went to fuck off. She went to fuck off.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Barber. Barber's check. It's the name of the call. And so I put that online, just random day, put it on my website. Two hours later, my website crashed. Webmaster called me. Hey man, we got to add some bandwidth to website this shit going up. I go, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Add a couple more gigabyte, chila jillibite, whatever the fuck it is. Crash again. My website crashed like three days in a row. We just keep up in the server space and all of that shit. And so that was the call. Or this the number. No, folks was flooding my website to download the call. And at this point, YouTube, I put it on YouTube,
Starting point is 00:45:04 but on YouTube, you just listen to shit. Right. YouTube wasn't even a visual website yet. So I took that call and started doing more and more and putting it with other calls and then put that album together. And that was the one that did, like, the best for me to this day. Mm-hmm. You know, with the pranks, you know, that was an error, man.
Starting point is 00:45:24 What I figured out, though, is I got older, But once I got into my 30s, I couldn't keep doing them because, you know, prank calls, that's a young man's game. To me, at least. Technology changed. You can't even fucking do it no more. It's too hard. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Nobody, like, you prank calls somebody in 03. The way I used to block my numbers with an AT&T calling card. Come up and say AT&T on their phone line. Yeah, it'd be a 7-20 Denver number. Oh, yeah, they're going after that. Yeah, curiosity. Yep. Who called me from doing it?
Starting point is 00:45:53 Prank calls used to be rooted in the curiosity of, the unknown. Now you don't even want to fucking know who calling you. Right. Even in visual family, you send them to voicemail. So you can't even really do that shit no more. Also, as the pranks grew, I had to start prank calling people out of town. And the thing with Birmingham, and this is what Ricky set up, Ricky Smiley set up an atmosphere where if I prank call you is love. And you know me, you know the station. I'm in the community. You know I don't mean you no harm. Yeah. When the pranks grew,
Starting point is 00:46:27 two many niggas in Birmingham knew my voice, so we started calling out-of-towners. Out-of-towner don't know me. You don't give a fuck about me. Right. You don't give a fuck if it's love. And the motherfucker ran up on me in Cleveland at a show.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And that's what I was like, all right, this ain't. Oh, personally, he came up to me, like they do all that point-call shit, like, hey, motherfucker, let me tell you. Yeah. I ain't, I'm not going to fight you, sir. I'm not over a prank from three months ago
Starting point is 00:46:56 I'm saying my hood don't we I called him from Birmingham he was in Cleveland we did the prank ha ha ha and hang up three months later I met the Cleveland Improv down in the flats and that motherfucker waited patiently for me patiently at the merch table just and you know how you figure just need to say some
Starting point is 00:47:17 like normally when a black man standing like this beside the table, at the end of you do all your meet and greet, he went to come up, I just want to tell you, it's some positive grip for you in and shit. Yeah, he's there. What he's that? One of them, he broke, with these things. I'm here, nigger, what is he said?
Starting point is 00:47:33 He pulled me in and he goes. Ah! I just want you to know if I wanted to touch you. I can't. I could touch you. Push me off like that. Boy, ah, the point you got to say, he got to say, he's going to say that.
Starting point is 00:47:47 He's going to say that. But at that point, I was like, all right, man. All right, yeah. I don't know. Like, Eddie. I feel you, I don't, I mean,
Starting point is 00:47:55 and that's wild for me because, you know, for the most part, black folks fuck with me. Yeah. I ain't never wanted to fucking be when people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Black people might want to, like, I think, I think it's a 97% rule with black people. Like, that's the most you can get. You ain't gonna never get us all,
Starting point is 00:48:09 you mean? You never be 100. Oh, of course not. No. 97 is the most. And that's like a circle. But I'm saying, even if you didn't think
Starting point is 00:48:16 I was funny, you wouldn't want to fight me. Right. So I, I ain't ever seen nobody want to just fucking beat my ass. Like, you might be disappointed. He probably wanted to do some bad to you in first did he saw the show when he was like, man,
Starting point is 00:48:28 I was gonna kill your head. You just fucking with you. Sometimes the niggas just be upset and you just look like the shit they upset about it. But some cats, but you can't play with people like that. You never know what somebody going through too. I said, nephew Tommy, I'd say him, I was just, we came back from doing the show.
Starting point is 00:48:46 We were somewhere doing the show and he had, did a prank call or something. like that and it was just talking about a dude getting a kidney or something like that, you know what I mean? And he's like, well, you got your kidney, but I want to get your gallbladder, you know what I'm saying? Let me get the gallbladder to get your kidney, but the man got real for real and I'm listening to it. And I know the difference, we both
Starting point is 00:49:02 know the difference between comedy, you know what I'm saying? So I was like, God damn, this shit can't get real, so. Yeah, Tommy is cold-blooded with that shit and also it's a muscle. You don't keep working that shit. It's really, it's improv. Right. It's fucking improv. You can only script the first 30 seconds of the call.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Like that was like the time When Jay Prince You know the Jay Prince story Uh-uh The Jay Prince story So I prank called Jay Prince Lord Man, man, what the
Starting point is 00:49:30 Take me off this show What that fuck going down here, man Shout out to Jay Prince He came to the chat Shout out of Jerry! Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up You know it Hold on
Starting point is 00:49:38 No, it's just, I'm still alive Man, this is what had a happy name I'm still in the world Okay You ain't gonna fuck with Jake, go ahead. So when Some chameleonair pranks jumped off. There was a record label in Houston.
Starting point is 00:49:54 And they called me up and they go, we hear your stuff all over the city and we want to do a prank call, a celebrity prank call album where we print called celebrities. I'm like, all right, that's a bit. And so I fly to Houston and they got the list set up of the celebrities.
Starting point is 00:50:14 And it's all Texas-based people. Like, it's like Vince Young, it's fucking Scarface, J. Prince. Like, it's like just random folks, all from Texas. And they go, who you want to call first? I say, let's call J. Because that's going to be the hardest prank. So we may as well do that one off the rip. Oh, real.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Because the thing about it is that when you're doing a prank phone call, you can't, like, you'll lose, like, your energy. You know what I'm saying? So you've got to, like, the one that's going to be the most, mentally challenging. Because Jay Prince is a hard motherfucker to prank. Because when you think about a prank, if you're just talking just joke structure, right?
Starting point is 00:50:54 Right. It's something silly to get you mad or I make an impossible request. Jay Prince is fucking low-key, even-kill-ass nigga. So I can't just call him and go, motherfucker, I'm going to fight you. Like, that ain't enough.
Starting point is 00:51:09 You got to strike people on the things that they hold dear and that are important to them. If I'm gonna make you upset, that's why you guys fight over your mama jokes. Right. Because that's something important to you. If a nigga talk about your outfit,
Starting point is 00:51:24 if you talk about your girl, if you talk about your children, there is a set list, especially with black folks. Yes. But nigga, we have to fight right now. Right. I'm gonna see your, or I'm gonna see your ass or I'll see your ass a cleave.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming clean. With you know. So when you think about Jay Prince, Jay Prince runs a record label. Yes. What does the CEO of a record label hold near and dear? His artists. Those are his children.
Starting point is 00:51:55 So I call Jay Prince. I called Jay Prince, and I told him... So hold up. Before you even say that, at no point you didn't think none of this was a bad idea. Yeah, okay, backstory. And this is my fault for trust in white people. What the fuck? What the fuck on with you?
Starting point is 00:52:14 Why would you do some shit like that? I told you, man. Take me off. Why would you do some shit like that? Because they ran the fucking record label. But I understand. He went the record label. He goes, hey man, we're gonna...
Starting point is 00:52:26 You want a prank called Jay Prince? We know him. And I go, are you sure this is all right? Oh, yeah. Jay's a good friend. So I go fuck it. Rack it up. Again.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Big, big, win big. Nick, don't stare at me like that. This is a fucking prank on CD. Are you right? Do you want to fucking go platinum or not, niggins? Do you want the fucking platinum chain? Shit! So you gotta call somebody that like...
Starting point is 00:52:51 Let me see, look. So you gonna do this regardless. You gotta go platinum, I got it. I got it. I've signed it. It's a fucking contract. I've signed the fucking contract. So it's a fucking, I got a record deal.
Starting point is 00:53:04 So I got a fucking, the motherfucking say call Jay Prince. Fuck it, let's call Jay Prince. Come on. I'm so scared of this story, but go here, Roy. So I call Jay. and I say, hey, man, I run a record label. I mean, I run a record store in town and none of these rap-a-lot artists are selling.
Starting point is 00:53:25 They're terrible. Oh, my God. I ain't sold a single Rapalot record in two years. Come to my record store and pick up all this garbage-ass music that you didn't drop off. Jay Prince don't say a word. You know, a prank, you know, you waiting on the back and forth. You know, you waiting on the back and forth.
Starting point is 00:53:48 He don't give me nothing. Jay Prince go, Where are you at? I go, what? Where are you at? This Jay Prince. Oh, my, man, motherfucker. Come on, just, come on.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Now you're getting buck now. I'm getting buck with him. Because I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to loud talk them. Right. At that point, I have no, again, the 30 seconds is up. Now we're improv land. So now I'm just loud talking them. You need to explain yourself.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Explain to me why you charge me all this money, but there's all this. Where you at? That's all he kept saying. Slowly. Engineers started panicking in the room with me. So that's when I knew some shit was wrong. Because they didn't anticipate Jay acting like that.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Another dude that was there, another dude from the record label, he come in the studio with me. in the studio with me. Hey, Jay, uh, we were just playing around. It's us at the label. Where the L, LBD music and uh, uh, just, I'm sorry, Jay. And then Jay Priscoe, yeah, he's stable, he's going to sit down. Okay. You over there LBD music. I know exactly where you at. Ooh! Hey man, turn the car around and then he hung up the phone. And so everybody in the studio shaking. I'll turn back to the same white dude. You're live, right? No, no, we're just in the studio. We're just recording the prank album. It's just a
Starting point is 00:55:19 studio session. Okay. I turn back to why do I go, am I safe? No. You in the same? You in the same city? Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, we figure, he's a friend. We'll call him again. Call him back, he don't answer. Call him back, he don't answer. And so then I got in the fucking car. It's back in the day you had to call a taxi. I called a taxi and waited patiently for a fucking Houston yellow cab to come pick me up and I went back to the airport. From the studio. I was in Houston a total of four hours. I landed, prank called J. Prince, went back to the airport. So fast forward. These white people had to pay you for this shit. So, fast forward, like 10, 15 years later,
Starting point is 00:56:11 when Jay was on his book tour, he did Sway in the morning, and he asked Sway, he asked him about the story. He said, did this dude prank you? And was you really headed over there to the studio? And Jay just smiled and he just said, I was just gonna go over there and laugh with him. Jay, we said, be so sad. It's shit like that.
Starting point is 00:56:36 like I got to quit doing prank calls. I mean, you did pick. Yeah, it was great. We laugh about it now. But at the time, I made the right call. You did? And fucking leaving the city. Oh, you left the whole.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I left, nigga, I left the city. It's fucking Jay Prince, and he said he coming over to where you at. No, bitch, I'm gone. I bought the same day ticket, nigga, at the counter. Do you know how much that costs? Not online, at the counter. I walked into the counter. Damn.
Starting point is 00:57:09 One ticket to Birmingham, please. Some shit you don't fucking play with. You should have known that that was a bad idea. He said, I knew exactly where you were. That's a bit big, win-big proposition. See, that's why I can't. If that prank joke goes off, then I'm going to do that prank call J. Press.
Starting point is 00:57:31 It went wrong. Shit. Stop talking about it because he might still be mad. I'm not. I'm just saying that, I ain't had nothing to do with it. I ain't telling him to tell him to tell that story. Nah, I mean, we're good. Now, I met him, man.
Starting point is 00:57:45 We laughed at him, man. We laughed at him, we laughed with the Cleveland and the motherfucker got down with the seven shit. Bro, you mean you take a shit too far, man. You take a shit too far? Why not push the envelope, man? Push that motherfucker. Yeah, so that was it, man.
Starting point is 00:58:00 What was the TBS show? Oh, that was Sullivan and his son. Yeah, the bar show. We ran that for three years. Shout out to the homie Steve Byrne, man. Steve Byrne, he really understated in terms of just what he does for other comedians. Because he put, at the time, we was a sitcom with like five or six stand-up comedians on the show, like in real time. Yeah, I got to get me some cool-ass white comedian friends who make movies and shit.

Because I had said on him one time, I wonder who did the afterparties for like the civil rights and shit. Because you know somebody had a little fish spot.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I had a good question about civil rights. If you was a civil rights groupie, When did you spit game? It's like Dr. King had, you know, what he had, right? And that's what everybody's say. Right. When do you pull your chicks before or after the march? You really kind of do it like, you meet them at the church,
Starting point is 01:00:21 and you let them know that you're going to be at the march. You know how they used to like, kind of like barnstorm and hit all the churches, be like, all right now, Saturday morning, we're going to be ready. So they would go, like, all the choir practices. on a plate, come on over for a plate, Mr. Abernethy. Yeah. So you kind of had to work the church circuit first.
Starting point is 01:00:42 I think it was after the march. I think it was after the march. You gotta get everyone their good and tired. Oh shit, hold up. We got gang balance in this motherfucker. My mom, right, man. My wife, man. My wife, what's up?

I wanna ask you about some of the Comedy Central shit too, man, and how did you land over there and you've been keeping that relationship open and strong for a little man? That was, I gotta give it up to two folks,
Starting point is 01:01:22 Trevor Noah and Neil Brennan. Trevor Noah and Neil Brennan. Shout out to both of them, man. Shout out to Trevor, man. Shout out to Trevor. More clap. Give him some clap, man. Give him some clap.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Let's go. What's dope about Trevor, man, is that when I started at The Daily Show, he told me off the rip. He said, I don't want you to stop none of that political shit, none of that opinionated race shit that you do. First story I did, we did a ride along with a police department in Wisconsin. Second story, this is why I knew it was going to be a good run. Because he let me talk about black shit, but approach it from my own take. And there ain't nobody else influencing what we pitch, right? Right.
Starting point is 01:01:58 20th anniversary of the Million Man March, I go to Trevor, and I go, Let me go down there All right, cool And that's a spot where you wouldn't figure There's some jokes Or you figure it ain't no commentary On what's going on But what it was at the time
Starting point is 01:02:19 So Million Man March 20th anniversary The motto was justice or else So they kept saying justice or else So we just went to D.C. I asked white folks What you think or else mean? You already know what they said and then you go to black folks will go, what does or else mean?
Starting point is 01:02:35 And it's all the positive, empowering, we're going to keep fighting, whatever. But everybody on the white side thought that or else meant riot, kill, murder, burn this bitch down. So we was just trying to show how folks don't even know what type of shit black people are. Trevor, let me just straight take cameras down there
Starting point is 01:02:52 to show that, and we cracked a couple jokes. But at the end of the day, we was trying to show something that was fucking real. And he let me do that shit. And, like, he's been letting me. We do that shit since 2016, man. Now we know white, but trouble always I'm letting white people know they don't want to see or else.
Starting point is 01:03:10 No, they don't want to real or else. They don't want the or else. Because what if we just say, you know what, fuck it, they're right, and we just took over all their shit. You're talking about our shit? They shit. Oh, I was saying, if we just say, you know what? You know they shit and I was shit.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Oh, yeah. The shit that they like, we're gonna like that shit way more than they ever liked it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so... Except for Elvis, because Elvis was James Brown. I'm saying. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:51 Amen. So I started doing daily show. At the same time, man, I've been able to just be blessed and get a couple sitcoms sold. sold. You're out of your business. You know. Right. They cashed that one.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Now Steve Daschen. But that's what that Steve Byrne and that Sullivan and son's shit came through, because I had a, um, I had a sitcom. It didn't go. But I had a sitcom we shot over in Birmingham where I played a probation officer. And the first thing I tried to do in that bitch was put other comedians in that shit. Man, let's do that shit. No, let's do it.
Starting point is 01:04:23 We can do that shit. We can do that shit. I'm with it. Y'all heard it. Y'all heard it. Y'all heard that shit now. Roy, what are we doing, Roy? We're gonna write him in, we're gonna write him in.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Hey, hey, you know what I'm like, you know, I'm gonna let him boy Crick do it thing. Man, we're gonna write him in it. You in it. You in it. You in it. You're in it. Just like you right here, you are in it.
Starting point is 01:04:45 You know my grandma pregnant again. You already hit it, man. You know you can pull up on the same wheel and put you in there now, man. Like, I don't get in that Chris. Hey, he's gonna come with the jazz suit on. I'm ready. Telefly. Yeah, it's just you start realizing, oh shit, you get these, you get these, you

Man, you've been killing this shit, man. Everybody's somebody because of somebody else. Hey, man, you'd be saying some real shit.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Like, your jokes, they really stick around. Like, somebody got to cook these chicken nuggets, man. Man, let me ask you all a question. I got a cousin that's a state trooper in Mississippi. Damn. Damn. It's okay. In the blue and orange coffee?
Starting point is 01:05:28 No, he's the old school to do the brown. Oh, he ain't got shit. That's all, so that's about to say. He run errands in the police car and his regular clothes. Is that good for the community or bad for the community? That's good for the community. Because he need to be, they need to be familiar with him. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Even outside he came. Right, so when he pulled somebody over, he was like, man, I just saw you at Kroger. It's a small town? Yeah, it's Mississippi, for instance. He's one of them cities where you can park the police car in the front yard and don't nobody. You know the police. I got one.
Starting point is 01:06:07 I got a cut. He's an undercover police officer. Everybody knows who he'll still come out and try to get their arrest motherfuckers. They ain't scared. Hey, that's crazy. They could chill out, goddamn. Don't bloke my cover. Like, bitch, we're at the family of union.
Starting point is 01:06:19 If you don't get that goddamn potato salad out of the squad car. Ain't it weird when people reveal to you that they're a police officer? It seemed like they wait until they've seen you do all the shit that you would have been arrested for, before they'd be like, you know, I'm a cop. God to bless that peanut butter. You ever meet some after the shows or whatever? Yeah, you can always tell who they are. See, y'all, I can tell that y'all get like,

And we know that you all cut your body cameras off, don't it? Mm-hmm. Every time you hit their bitch. I was like, hell no, I swear. I don't tell them, I smoked the one with me and Bankroll Fresh got that,
Starting point is 01:07:54 rest of the piece of Bankroll Fresh. Man, the police probably get together on their off days and watch all their body. camera footage and laugh like a motherfucker. Why they have to delete so much other. For that instead of the other shit, they need to. I go with my cousin in the police car sometimes the dollar tree. Damn. But I don't like it.

The old, I'm going early 90s of a box Chevy, shape, shit. You know I know. A knick don't know the flowmasses on them got down on Crown Vick. When you ride, that motherfucker lift up.

Starting point is 01:13:32 No, but y'all got to bed and shit, though. It's like Uber Black, but for ambulance. You can't trust it, though, because I don't, uh-uh. A nigga don't know if you're going to live or die. Yeah, that's too much, too much liability. For us to decide whether you're going to live or die, that's too much pressure. That's not. A nigga, like, call the ambulance.
Starting point is 01:13:50 He's like, nigger, I am the ambulance. No, but first thing. I think you need to stay here. You're going to get somebody else. Yeah, we won't be able to render no first aid. First aid extra, you just got to get them out. You're talking about, like, just for twisted ankles and broken arms and shit. Whatever they call you for, you don't get to decide.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yeah. But, like, I'm talking about the car shit. I'm about to decide I get some moving cars. That's what I'm looking for. Some movie cars.
