This is how a company came into my life. I just turned 17. I called a big, big case. I got sentenced. Judge said, you got to go to boot camp. And so he said, but before you go to boot camp, you're going to finish school. So you got to go to school and then the summer next summer

you're going to go to boot camp He said the only way you ain't going to boot camp if you'd be an angel You know, boot camp They had to cut grass on the side of the road It'd be snakes, it's hot You know what I mean So I wasn't cut for that

So I went back to school And I had my school I had my school thing going I was an intense probation So I had to go report To this probation officer Every day And everybody report at the same time

Her name was Diane Lambert, and you had to stand up in the hallway at attention, because all these fours was the only way to boot camp. Hold up. You had to go report every day. Every day. It's super intense. At the same time. At the same time.

And so I was in school for everybody else would get a piece of paper, and they had to go apply for 10 jobs and come back with the 10 jobs and numbers. You know what I'm saying? It was post-boot camp and after boot camp, so she's the boot camp officer. Damn. Man. And I went out one time, and so I saw Deaf Comedy Jam. I saw Bruce Bruce.

I saw Artiro Shelton. And I'm sitting there looking at Deaf Comedy Jam in my den. And I'm like, that's what I'd be doing in the car porch when we're smoking. I'm like, that's my line. I already had watched Eddie Murphy and Delirsch. That's the only comedy. That's the only thing I knew about comedy. I grew up on those.

So I started lying to people saying I was a comedian. And I remember one time I was flitzing in my mama house I act like I needed a job and I don't mess around and end up a label for brickmasons. Oh, that's the hardest fucking job. Who? I knew I was... Oh!

Well, that's some back-breaking labor right there. They had that laying an hour drive away. My mom's standing. I'm like, y'all hiring? He's like, yeah, we'll be able to get you at 6 in the morning. And they were not bullish in that outside at 5.45. Man, they picked me up. We go to a sub-division.

It's no houses. It's just a street laid. They don't cut out all the trees. So it's just, the sun is beaming. Hell yeah. And they building foundations to houses, and I was the labor. So I'm in charge. They were doing the blocks.

They were doing the blocks and the mud. Wheel barrels and all this. Man, blocks in the mud. And it would get, at first they were like, blocks, I come with the blocks. They'd be like, mud. I come with the wheelbarrow. They'd be like, blocks, I get the blocks. They'd be like mud.

And they'd be like, blocks. Mud. It would get slow and slow. Blocks. And I got this wheelbarrow. full of mud. And that heat on your ass? Man, I'm, I'm 17,

so I'm probably, I probably weigh about 110. Man. And I tilt them with that barrel, boom. The mud all over the ground. Yep. That's the worst day you could have. That was my first day.

That was my first day. I went home, slept all the way to six in the morning. Yeah, Darren sure did. All the way to six in the morning. Got up. Went back out there. Shit. Well, a whole other house.

I probably made it to 10.30. Hey, that shit ain't new. I was out of there. I started having. I went, I was dehydrated. I had to go find a patio. One of them houses they had already built. The house had to build the patio.

I lit up under the patio to 5 o'clock when they got off. Damn. I got my check. It was $440 for a day and a half. I would have went back. I would have went back. I could. I took me some Gatorade and some.

God damn, no, you can't handle this. Shit, I did that shit, and I was 14. Wow. My step didn't have had a brick lane. Him and his brother had a brick lane coming. Nick, it wasn't no quitting. Then he had to do it. They fucked me up so bad one day shot that we had brick about.

I know it was like, look, they was making these little like single family homes, right? Whole subdivision, like you said. You know it would be like a Willow cottage or something shit where all these motherfuckers look exactly the same. Man, we had to do the whole fucking subdivision once in a summer. So one day we had them work all motherfucking day. We get finished with the house. I'm like, bro, we can finally go home.

Nigger, left that job, pulled up on another job, doing the motherfucking blocks. I was like, bro, this is motherfucking, this is unreal, though. Bro, when you get through with that shucking job, touching them bricks all day, especially you don't have no gloves. Right, you could take your fucking hand like this and rub your shirt. All this shit comes up. You can go sand the car down.

Yeah. Bray and be rolling on the motherfuckers. Sandpaper on these sunbush. So I had that story write. More bricks, more mud. So I'm telling the people about my brick-mason labor job catching random people.

I'd never been on stage. I'm lying saying I'm a comedian after I saw death comedy jam. Then one day riding down the street, it said, do you want a bill star? Come join. The Zimmers-like comedy, Are You Funny Contest?

I'm like, I looked at my partner, Fleet. I said, I'm going. He said, shout to them four pen through apples at you, man. I said, man, I'm going. It was at Uptown, where Earthquake on Uptown. The old old uptown. There's about four old Uptowns at this point. I was about to add.

It was official. So I was 18, so I got my partner paid. When they had paper license, I got my partner's license. And I went up as much. Marvin Smith. Marvin, motherfucking, Smith. Marvin Smith, a paper license. Ryan Cameron was hosting.

And I had to watch all the comedians. And they was talking about Lorena Bobbitt and all that type stuff. That's the lady that cut the man dick off and threw it outside. A lot of people don't even forgot the reference at this point. Talk about, Left, I burnt the house up. Damn. I had just come out of traumatic relationship for my first girlfriend cheated on me. So I run it out of hair.

I had on my silk polo out of unburnton. I said, I want to talk about it. some pimp killers, and then I started going into my act, and they didn't boo me, but they got real quiet. Oh, shit. You're that the world? I think I scared them, because I had any tag. I'm straight out of the trap.

You know what I'm saying? And it was crazy, but they didn't boo me, and so I left, I ain't feel like that type way them folks didn't know me. I was 18 years old. Yeah. I had me a little spot bumping. So another, then, next I'm at the car wash on camera. Where I'm from on my block, get my coffee.

Got me get my car wash. I got them washing my car. And some girls pulled out. We're like, what y'all are doing tonight? We're going right there to Harlem nights till the comedy night. They be packed in there. Look there in my fleet again. I said, I'm going.

He said, he ain't going in now. And then before four were making it rain. I had a little spot on University. I went, I got me like 1,000 ones. I put them in my pockets. I say, look, if both booed me or anything, I'm going to throw this money out. Pulled up.

went apart, I had a 98, I had a flash, 98 had the rims on it, vows, I pulled it up in front of the club, it was smoke black, I went sign the list. I went up, it was everybody I went to school with, everybody I was on the block with. They started yelling my name, shout it, shouty, I started working my legs. That was where the shouty dance came from. After that, after that, I went up every two weeks. for two years. Bruce Bush was the host that night. Bruce Bruce took me on.

I went up every Tuesday for two years. Call the night switch to move to a location, 559, the hardest comedy spot ever. All tours that come through there, the comedians would call in because they didn't want to work that room. It was one of the hardest rooms ever. Yeah.

And I used to go up every Tuesday and get it to their ass. 559 in West End. 559 in the West End. It just, I think they just made... They just towed it down not as long ago, didn't it? Yeah, they had a visual, everything. That's what hot boys came, baby showed up with beat with all of them,

when they weren't nobody. You know what I'm saying? 5'5 now is one of the hypeas clubs in it alone. And then I just... What made you stay with it? They were coming? Yeah. Oh, the shit!

After their second time. I never had a problem with being funny. Yeah. It was just learning the game, learning the skill. You know what I'm saying? I used to do it on stage. Yeah, because, like I would say, I used to beatbox. I used to beatbox, so I used to scratch.

So I used to end my set with the Bernie song. I used to be like, oh, I say, yeah, I got cable, GCC, get on cable connection. I say, it ain't got the regular Bernie. I say Bernie be up there with some headphones on. I'm talking about, yep, p, pip, I love you. They just go crazy. Do it a whole mix. I just do the whole Bernie mixing, beatboxing everything.

Get up out of there. Who was around when you started? You said Bruce and... Who was already around? Who was running the city? Who was running in the city? Who was running around the city who had that motherfucker on fire with the comedy?

Bruce, Bruce and Quake. So I started, I maybe started... They had a legendary club called The Comedy Act. I see you heard of the Comedy Act. I got out with Michael Williams. I missed the Comedy Act, but all the comedians used to go to the Comedy Act on Tuesday night and do Open the Mic.

So Tuesday night, open mic was a ritual in Atlanta. So when the comedy had closed, I think Bruce, Bruce and Earthquake clashed. So Bruce went this way, Earthquake went this way. Earthquake got with Gary Aldoole and opened the original Uptown Comedy Corner. So now Earthquake got him a club. And Bruce, you know, he worked in his study. So Bruce had his little band of comedians because he was a little band of comedians. because he was getting people.

So he had me, small fry, rest in peace to Tyler Craig, my partner, partner, you know what I mean? I live with still to Tyler Craig right now. Right. And tomorrow the story is. Sure. And so.

Yeah, damn. That nigga was so funny. Yeah, father helped me so much, man. He's lived on Camelton. He stayed on the block. Word. So if I'm in the truck and it's hot, I had run out short up at Tyler Do.

And he let me in, he'd be like, man, when are you going to come out of that block, man, come on outside of that real shit, and get serious with their comedy. He always gave me these talks. And Tyler talked me tat. He gave me tat. Like, I was, I didn't have it.

I ain't know what it was. Act right. You know what I said? I had no rules. And Tyler Craig always gave me these little pelt talks. You know what I said. I've been going to go out and whoop me who's going to do. No, you ain't.

You bet shit your head right there. Yeah, yeah. He'll get this, hit this with your bad ass. That thing is, eh. I don't get a fuck, how mad you are? That nigga hit that lad. You ain't mad no more. Yeah.

Like you said, you can smear, fuck, that I'm gonna tear this motherfucker up. God damn. Yep. You gonna tear the whole club up? I'm gonna spend my little show money, burn your ass out. You know you need one of us ain't got no license.

And then what the fuck we're gonna do, Sean? Yeah. Oh, did you know you wrong? So, I live. Tyler Crick Spirit every day. Yeah, man. I miss my nigga every day, bro. It's him and my sister, Dirty.

How about that? When did you meet Dirty? Because that's the one I knew you to be real tight with. Dirty, man. My cousin Squirt called me one time. Hey, shout out to Squirt, man. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Squirt.

Hey, Squirt been through a lot, bro. And the way he's been bouncing back and holding it. Yeah, yeah. I fuck with Squirt, bro. I took him on the road with me. I said, God put it on my heart. He said, man, take your cousin on the road with you. man yeah and I called him you know he you know his Facebook yeah of course and he was

expressing himself through Facebook and so one of the mornings you know I read his posts and God said man you're your first cousin you know you got to be there and so I called him I say could I said God told me it make you my opening so overshows I come on taking you man He'd do great on the road. He'd be so excited. He gets mind off of it, you know. But he's pretty popular with the Lays.

because of the promoter. Then they brought them back with Teddy Carpenter. And they had Shottie and Dirty South. Brain come back. Sold out. All the way sold out. The first show. So we get to the Marriott by the airport at us in St. Louis. Teddy called me. She said, Shawley. You know these folk credit card

You've been like that anyway. Yeah, that's her. So this thing, you know, the limo pull up. It went everybody still in the limo right. So we get in the limo, dirty, turn that drummer up. Left, left, right, left, get on up. We were a camouflage, like, right, right, left, left.

We didn't have jamming. She'd get hyped up. You know, we're still in front of a hotel, a limo door open. It's Teddy Coppenter. He got on his black silk, his dress shoes and everything. So Derek started like, oh, you want, you in there with her? Come on. She slides to the side.

He gets to the top of the limo. That thing, you know. She turned the music up, la-l-na, tell the cops and the like, Baby girl, you got to turn that music off. This is my limo. That's how I say. What's what you talking about? Nigger, I'm the motherfucking star.

The rest of these dirty South, man. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's cold, though. Yeah. That's cold, though. Yeah.

Man. Time's in this comedy game, bro. Yeah. So then, you know, Bruce was talking about how I got started. But, yeah, I just came up on the booths and Bruce kept me on the role with him. Like, the only, the only comedian ever took me on tour, kept a G. Like, because I was, I was, I was. I started off, I told you, I never had a problem with being funny.

It was just learning. Then Bruce put me in front of these big crowds just before, this went coming view, popping. Yeah. So it's the coming view is selective now. You know what I'm saying? Like, Bruce, Bruce, Chocolate, they're making people stars. Right, right, right, right.

They make people stars. Cheryl Underwood hosting. So Cheryl Underwood orchestrated a protest because they was only paying like $150, $200 or something like that. Paying the host or? A comedian. You got to fly yourself at L.A. One time.

One time pavement. Put yourself up. Yeah, put yourself up in everything. They're going to spend that shit however long they want. They're going to spend that. They're spending it in nine. What? So then, so Cheryl put on a protest.

Like, all the big comedians, all the people who got names and stuff, they weren't doing coming from you. All the L.A. comedians. But it's a million, 50 comedians in the lot of funny as hell. Right. We just been brewing. I'm about five years in. Them, we still got loud love, we got double D, we got everybody like, like, right.

Shit, everybody, food stuff did that shit. Yeah, so, and then, did so. Smoke from making? B, T. That what got made me mad, though, because smoke did it the year before I did, Jesus. You all right. You know, you ain't got no party to you draw something and break something. But, um, smoke made me mad. I mean, it ain't saying smoke made me mad.

But I had been doing comedy, and I was on the road, you know, I'm gaining fans. And at the same time, the year I made Coming View, they was letting interns accept the tapes. So if you get your tape in first, they're like, ooh, he's funny, ooh, he funny. And they don't mess around gays of comedians that ain't got five minutes or only got five minutes.

A spot. Yeah. And they go up and rip for five minutes. Now these comedians getting booked. Yeah. And ain't got goddamn feature time. It ain't got time. Yeah.

And so Dirty South got in touch with the people at BET. She got me on coming view. Dirty South got me on coming view. She sent her tape in Al from Macon, he helped Dirty South get on. And when Dirty South finally talked to him, she said, yeah, she said, I'm coming. Y'all got me?

She said, let me tell y'all about my brother. So she gave me the number. When I called, I said, I'm Dirty South brother. They said, great, we want you on. She was hitting that hard. I ain't had to sit no tape. Oh, that's dope. And Lesterberry was the host.

And I was still with Bruce. And because Bruce, I was on tour with Bruce all the way up. He got me on television. As I got on television. Shout out to Bruce, Bruce. Yeah, boom. He said, you got your wings, man. You good.

I went up, ripped it. Paid all that money to go to L.A. During the protest, cross the protest lines. As a young comedian, you know, you can't tell no community that ain't going to be on TV. Like across the protest lines, all of us did. All the comedians. And then the week after I went to L.A.

and spent all my money to be on Commer View, they transferred to Atlanta. Damn. You should have waited. Yeah, but then I already had a relationship, so I started doing warm-ups. I was the warm-up guy. When they got to Atlanta.

When they came to Atlanta. You just made me think about how many niggas from Atlanta like that was around when I started doing comedy that did Comic View. Niggas Sherman Gold. Lance Love, Big Sean, Nesto, Motherf. But that's how everybody got on now. You know Dirty South, Zoo, Tyler Craig, Food Stamp, God damn.

If you were funny. Who else? It's one more that I'm leaving now. Ron G. was on New Faces. LeVar did the New Faces. Yeah. It exposed to Atlanta. And once they find out...

Double D. Was Ronnie already? Ronnie Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. Ronnie Jordan, he made this come up really doing like that Kings of Comedy. Yeah. When he won that.

Yeah, yeah. Ronnie Jordan. I remember that. Man, that's one of the most slept-blown niggas. Shit, K-dub. K-dub. They ended up doing that fucking comic view. So the whole city pretty much ran through that motherfucker when it came.

But I'm going to tell you some. Tim Murray? I don't say too many comedians And I don't even judge comedians by being funny Because comedy is an art It's what you brain It's what you brain How people interpret you

Because I used to think it was all about written But now I tell my story I tell my life I bring people to me And that's two different comedians Yeah It's a different between a comic It's a different between a comic kind of comedian

But This guy right here Oh yeah They can't take nothing from Carlos on the stage, dog. Nothing. In real life. In real...

Period. Period. Can't tell you nothing from Carlos. Man, I remember when Charlotte got his night at the New Uptown. That money, like, once he got the... Like, you know, it usually take about six weeks. Mary of the Street.

Yeah. It usually take a month... Like, you know, as comedians, if we go get a new spot, we were like, shit, six weeks. That's the target. Shalda had that motherfucker before. whole goddamn west side, southwest, all the strip of drug dealers. These are all the motherfuckers who can't, but it's totally different from Sunday

that Noi got. Chalda got a whole different crowd. I'm talking about these, all the rappers coming, all the motorcycle riders coming, the skateboard niggas coming, the hole's coming, the dope boy's coming, like the whole west side coming, you get what I'm saying? Every money. So Noir had mostly like Eastside Kirkwood crowd. Mm-hmm.

So these, so it's like, so if you come, so, right. Like, I'm a hood base. What night you had at first? Tuesday? You had Tuesday? Tuesday night is a classic open mic. Bruh. You know, in it, for us.

Then he gonna have some rap niggas gonna perform. Yep. So it's like, they're coming for the show, but this, this, this, this one of them life. Right. Man, used to go up in that motherfucker and get down. Yes. Yeah. Was it before the music videos?

No, this happened. This, oh, five, oh, six. So we got to go back to how the music video popped off. Well, I got, you know, I got one I need to go by. Okay, so I ain't on no TV. I'm on tour with Bruce. I'm getting fans because I'm performing with these big crowds in these bigger rings with Bruce.

You know what I'm saying? So then I get on Comment View. But I'm going to tell you one thing to help me and one thing that I, before I even knew about branding, when I started waving my legs and they started yelling, and shout it. And then I used to be like, let me hear you say, you know what I'm saying? They say shout out. I'm going to tell you one that really put you on like in my city. When you did the common view with the motherfucking like one month ago, you first had brought

out and now put your hand up. Break your wrist and put it on your chest. Bro, that shit right there, that's what really, I feel like, spreads you all through the whole South. Yeah, yeah. Because I remember that, because my yard came home like, bro, you got to see this shit. This name was so good. I remember that shit. And I was raw, like, I was just being shouted, you know what I'm saying, my interpretation. Right.

Because it wasn't like trap comedy or, like, it wasn't no really hood comedians. Everybody was coming from up under the French Sinatra era with, you know, ploys and dressing up and stuff. The deaf comedy jam broke it out and loosening it up. You know what I'm saying? Like you said, it was more like everybody from the projects we came up kind of broke shit. Yeah. It's like, like you said, the trap era was a different, this is a different genre of comedy. It was more hip-hop. It was fast-paced, you get what I'm saying?

Yes, yes, faster pace. We do a lot of, we do a lot of sex jokes. Right. But it was more on the, that's on the verbal side, but it was more of a performance type. Yeah, like people used to fuck, like now it's all about jokes, but people used to actually give a fuck about the presentation, like how it looked on stage. Yes. Because you ain't got to be the funniest nigga to have a good-ass show.

Right. And that's usually how it be. The niggas who don't necessarily have the best jokes be that they know how to visualize the motherfuckers, though. That's why some of this shit you see going viral. It ain't that it's just hilarious. It's just, it's so descriptive. It's visual.

The nigga performed it. That's what really said the joke. It's the performance of this shit. It is. Like I said, that nigga had the whole motion in, like, once he did the shit two or three times, the whole crowd doing this shit on TV. So what the fuck you think what people gonna do if they're watching this shit?

It's just having that little vice like that. When Ricky Smiley came out with the little Darrow. He ain't just do a little Darrow. Joke, that nigga literally became Little Darrell. Yeah. And a nigga knew how I forgot too. I was gonna ask you about another partner that passed. Big Roan.

Man, Big Roan, he was there that night. The first night I went out. Man, that's one of the funniest niggas in the world, bro. Big Rome was Quakes opener. Word. Quake fit in. What? So, wait, we can get to the club.

You know Quake ain't get to the club on time. He never was on time. So, Ron would host, it's what he'd known for. Wrong would host into Quake got there. Okay. And Rome was a monster. Rome was a monster. I remember one time, this, I, so I, so at one point, I started winning all the contests.

Every liquor sponsor of contests, I was winning them. I won the Deaf Comedy Jam, New Jack. I won New Jack of the Year Comedy Awards I won I won I want one on one comedy tour

is when I met Cat Williams on this contest when I met Kat It was funny Because I beat I made it all the way to the finals So we started off with the preliminary rounds Oh look

It used to be a lot of money in the comedy competition Yeah well you had $5,000 No because the liquor sponsors The Miller light shit was like 25, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, the middle of, so I was in the Zimmers. Well, that was the last one, though. But, yeah, and once you get to the rounds.

Yeah, because I think my, well, this, this, it was, I can't remember exactly what beer company it was, but the first round, it's 30 comedians from Atlanta going up. The same night. Dang. Room six, packed, everybody ripping. What are they doing, is it? At uptown. Okay.

At the old uptown. Bit wrong. went up and did my joke. No, man. Not my partner. You remember what you're going to war? Not my partner. Loz, they were laughing so hard.

They could not hear me say, that's my joke. So what do you do from now? I grabbed the chill. Hell no. Bruce stopped me. So don't do it, shawley, don't do it. You were from the thong.

I said, man, that's my joke, man, that my joke, that's my joke. I'm running around. He came out. I'm like, man, you know you did my joke. He's like, shawley. And so I calmed down, I went to Denise Howard. I said, Denise, he did my joke. I said, he ain't fell.

He ripped. He ripped hard than I did. He ripped harder than I did. And Wanda Ripped, Wander Smith. Bitt Rohn got eliminated. and me and Wanda Smith advanced to the finals. Me, Wanda Smith and Tyler Craig advanced to the finals.

Then they had everybody from every region come. So for him stealing your joke, got him eliminated? Yes. Because I won it. You said he were real. Yes. Okay, so it was known, then this was your shit. Yeah, it was known.

It was the weed joke, the past weed. Your man, you know what has a weed so good. You smoking it by yourself. And you knew when nobody did and used your life. That one. That one. And he did it better than I did. So I started doing it like he did it.

Hell no. What? If somebody steal your joke and do it better than you, you take what they put to it. Okay. What? It was yours? It was mine.

I thought you just steal the original part back. No, you, what are you going to get this sauce for? Just take your shit back. Take it back, yeah, but I'm not feeling to do it. If I know that it goes better like this, because you started this. Mm-hmm. I didn't mess with your jokes. you came in my barrel sampling me

and it wasn't even no sample you don't get no joke you don't have weeds are good you passed to somebody he passed that weed I can see where he was passing it to the air the crowd like I'm like

that's a big row so the next one was at the Roxy Theater and D.R. Hughley was the host and me and Diel Slick Cousins You know my name Young Hugley

And so he's like And I had already did the research But the comedy awards When I won Best New Jack Comedian Was the night before That second round Of the competition

And so he was like You're Hughley He's like, your people got A museum in Stone Mountain I'm like yeah He's like cause So then I won Best New Jack comedian

of the year, and he was like, I knew you was a hugler. So the next day, I don't got my, I don't got my mama boyfriend suit, his white John linen suit. I got my long black shirt. Man, I was working at NTW changing tires. I had the whole tie shop. Yeah. I had all my supporters from Atlanta,

and it was to advance to the finals to compete in Chicago. And I went out there and did the shawlty man. I went out there and did my thing so hard, it was no thought of who the winner was. Diel came back. He was like, I went out there. I advanced, and one day advanced. One day advanced. And that night was surreal.

And I think the chick that was with me, that was supporting me all that time, I think she left with Diel that night. Boy, stop, stop, right. Don't say that. On everything, man. Don't say that, man. Man, she did, man. They took me to, they took me to 112.

They took me to 112 celebrate and we did, managers them and everything. Everybody at Wondell, though. She won there, but when I come out stage, she don't made her way backstage. She pulled to be in the front. Yeah. That's all you remember about it.

No, no, I won, though. I said, but that one, yeah, man. That shit is right. She's sick. She's going home. I just won the contest. I bet you will. But, woo, woo, woo, woo.

I advanced to the finals. When I got in Chicago, I really think they put a heckler on me. I do. But I made a rookie mistake because I'm going to Chicago. Now, I'm getting a little motion down here. I got things. I had started wearing that little pimp-looking stuff like the Versacean print.

You know what I'm saying? With the line. I remember I had a lion green blazer. I paid by $700 for that blazer. Hell no. Sachi vests, the white. Because I had wore my mama boyfriend John Lennon's suit in the other. But now I don't start making some money.

Because that when Bruce, Bruce didn't call me after I won that round when I beat everybody in the southeast region in Dempers, that was his manager. She was like, we know that she's doing some things. We want you to come work. with us, we want to take you on tour. Don't tell nobody in the lawn. And so I used to curl up in the car, in the Mustang, like a little kid. I was about 20 years old, 19, in the back of Bruce, Bruce Sten car,

and we used to go on the road every weekend. I got paid $500 a show. So I was buying some threads. And when I got Chicago, and so who all made it to the finals? Check this. It was 10 of us. It was me and Wonder Smith from the South. Cat Williams

who at then, that time, was cat in the hat. D. Ray Davis. Shout out to D. Ray, man. Shout out to D. Ray. Corey Holcomb. Shout out to Corey. Craig. Craig Davis. Yeah, Craig.

Oh, Craig Robinson. Shout out to Craig Robinson. They got the craziest Craig Robinson. Greg Robinson. Mike Epps. Yeah, shout out to Mike. This is a hard-ass competition. I'm just listening to him.

Yeah. It's probably one more, isn't it? It got to be, I know it's one more sleep. It all would be one nigga that get left off. Man, it was a guy from St. Louis, Reggie Reds, and Police Officer. Oh, man. He got locked up. Reggie Red?

Yeah, he went to jail. He might have got out. Not the one to do the voices and the impressions. No, not him. No, okay, another Reds of Reds. I was like. And, um. Hey, that nigga ain't no police.

That nigga nation is one of them. But, it was great competition. I walked out of that line green. I had them old fake snake skin shoes on them. Hell no. Yeah, man. In Chicago. They let you have.

At the Riga Theater. We got about 3,000 people. And I got out of, I would start doing my thing. I called a heckler from all the way. It's like, you ain't no pimp! You know you ain't no pimp! And then... That's crazy how you sound

Just like the nigger. Yeah, man. You remember that shit. I remember that. That shit, damn, boy. I remember that. Then, I used to do the... I used to end mine.

I used to talk about the Soul Train line. And then at the end of the Soul Train, I did New York. I used to dive up in the air, way up in the air, and die, and spin around, like... And then I did different type of people. And then I'd be like,

they end up putting nobody on Soul Train from the South. Because they did. We would rock like this, then the booty shake come on. Don't stop. And I started dancing like that and get the crowd real hype. This was a known joke I closed with. One of the Smith went up in front of me and said, y'all know I'm from Miami. Before I get out of here, I got to get all the way lit.

Don't start getting it. I say this bitch. Man. Ha ha ha. Yeah. Then. So who won? Third place, Corey Hockham.

So you know what I want to know. Go ahead. Heard all the rest of it. I want to know how did this tip drill video come about? How you get in this? First of all, way y'all had it. Because so it's, let the world know where the video was because there's so many speculation. They just naming.

They say it was at Mike Vick house. They say it was at Usher House. They don't say it's so many of Atlanta people. How did you give him. Shottie, you part of one of the most infamous videos. Best video of me, hands down. And hits the very best. I love it.

Best video, hands down. Oh, man. Tip drill. I stumbled upon that video. Oh, that's it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's some good story music. You could tell your story over there.

Oh, yeah. Okay, so I was doing video. I'm video shouting, you know what I'm saying, doing all the music videos. So Bone Crusher and Baby D was doing a video the day before tip drill. And so I used to go to all the videos, get drunk, talk, talk, talk, shit, and be in the videos, you know, good day work. So we all, we were at their video, we out on the front and all the directors, they got to direct the chair and stuff. So it was a guy who I didn't know was sitting in the director chair, and he was just, now, and so I go over there, and I start going in on him.

He's talking about how he looked like LL Koojay, and the whole set is laughing. And so he called, he said, boy, you're pretty funny. He said, I got something for you, man, nelly joint. Hey, here go my number. It's tomorrow. So, I'm already cast it for Seelow and Goody Maher call me video. I mean, you know, Seelow and Timberlin. Call me, if you want me to call.

It was in Griffin, Georgia. So, it was a shuttle. I had to catch the Shuddle to Griffin. So I had got bent that night. I was bent, you know what I'm saying? I mean, we probably went to the club back to the video. I wake up late. I don't miss the Shulner.

Oh, man. So I'm like, let me see what this. Let me see, with the nether joint talking about it. So I called him. He's like, yeah, come to sugarloaf it's going to be a shuttle. I get the sugar loaf. I get on the shuttle.

When I get on the shuttle, white chocolate is on the shuttle with me. I don't know what I'm going to. White chocolate is... White chocolate was... Yeah, I know. I'm going to be a lab around. The white chocolate, she was the bang. She was her. She had...

She was the bang. Like, if you go to the gentleman's club, she was the premier. And so Nelly them got there at the same time I did So when you see Nellie them walk up in the front yard And you see a look in all them girls in the turnstown That's almost an actual shot Because if we walked it was like, uh-oh And when you see all the shots with all the girls

By their self getting in and out of the pool and stuff That was B-roll They were shooting all of that Because everybody was late getting at so we all got there at the same time So they were shooting all that B-roll That was a great idea. Yeah, marvelous. I said, so what you want me to do?

I said, what you want me to do? And so the guy who I was joining, who told me to call him, ended up being Benny Boom. Damn. Huh? Hmm. Damn. Yeah, so Benny Boom.

So he gave me this camera. He took me to the side. He's like, look, man, you can do whatever you want to do. You could walk through whatever scene. You can do whatever you want. You just take this camera. Be you. And I say, bet, he took me on the side of the house.

He said, I need you to do an intro. And that when I said, look, if you're on the indictment, married, anything like that, this ain't for you. Coming in with the cameras. And, man, when we came up up that hill, man, them girls got to work in. And, you know, I was working. I was working. I'm working in the camera.

I'm working the camera. I'm going to, I seen the little, the girls who were. wasn't going, you know, one of the stars of the video. You didn't see me go over there? I'm like, y'all get up for the butterheads. I'm doing it myself. I was like, that's when the butter, that's how the butterheads came about. That's how the butterhead joke.

And I see, y'all get up for the butterheads is. Because they start clapping. Yeah. I said, y'all know what butterheads is is here? And I dropped that joke on them. Then I slit made white chocolate famous because I did the weed joke. Passed the weed wasn't wrong. I did it in now.

And so I already knew white chocolates for the gentleman's school. I used to be in there with my hot $10 and try and get her to bust it open. She'd just be like, Hey, man, I was young. I was young. And so I felt comfortable with white chocolate. We had already been on the shelter. So I started, I had a conversation with her, and we just messed around.

That was like, at craft services, right? I said her a roll bone. Oh, and I did a joke about, can I, if your right leg was Christmas and your left leg was New Year. that I visited you between the holidays That went platinum Yeah That went platinum

Yeah at the end We had them got so bent That's when I did the weed joke I gave the camera to Ray Buchanan That's who house it was Big Play Ray I gave it I gave the camera to his wife

I was like get me I'm like you don't have the weed so good I'm performing for the camera at this point Him ain't his old lady without Him is old lady and whole magic city So if you look at them girls That's sugar I don't know if they got her in BMF

But all them All them BMF product girls They all got Porsche Whips and everything Outside Like I was in GZ's first video With Big Meach You know what I had personal conversations With Big Meach

I used to be in the clubs And then they go to lock in the doors Whom! Boom! They start coming out with money everywhere You can't see no carpet, no flow Just all money I was like, man And I

So, yeah, that tip drill, I still didn't recognize what was going on. Well, how long after y'all did the video did you see it and you saw what the fuck it was? I said we, little duval called me, like, shoddy, you ain't seen BETT uncut? I'm like, hell no. He's like, you need to see that shit, nigger. You all over that, motherfucker. Man, I turned that tilt drill on. I knew that was a game-changer.

After that, I just, all the video worked. I was, I was, I was. You couldn't turn on the video back then without seeing your ass running through doing some praise and shit. I would turn on 106 and part, and I would be on five of the video. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

You never ever. I was teaching, never ever. And so I started really keying in on what I was doing. In some videos, I wasn't able to talk. So I would use my body language to speak through the camera. And I started just creating this. I wasn't creating a wild character. I would be in myself and having fun.

And that's what it was all about. Like, crunk era, trap era. I don't know, I was having fun. LaJone was making that music. And we was all the family. Everybody was getting money together. It wasn't it. hating. You grew up with Little John.

Yeah, me and LaGerno rode skateboards. Okay. As kids. And they can really skateboards. He was rich kids. Yeah, that's skateboard. I still, I keep a skateboarder. I'm in my wife car, but every one of my bills, because I keep on my vehicle, because I keep a dick.

You know, when I, I had, I broke my femur and cracked my hip about three years ago. No, right, right. Yeah. Brough, you're known for having a goddamn wreck, and remember. I was with you that night right before we went on the Tahoe. When I split my head, man! Now, that was going, I didn't want to skip over there, but one night, I remember you were hosting figure eight.

I used to come through there. Yeah. You made the albino dude cry that night. You forgot about that shit. You remember the albino dude started crying? You called him white? I kind of phased those. Bruh, this motherfucker got so mad.

You remember he was in that van. But you might not remember. So shodder in this. But the dude was fucking with Shalder. I get to you. We went on stage. Now, you was hosting, but he was trying to, you know, say shit back and forward. But Shalda was like, man, don't hear that fucking shit.

But, you know, he fucked him up. So the dude got mad. And then Shorter said something to this thing. I know ain't in him arguing with no white motherfucker or something like that. And the motherfucker got, it was like a big albino dude. This motherfucker got so mad. This motherfucker went outside. Like, he walked outside.

And he was driving a van. And the motherfucker just, like, started the car. and just start revving the motherfucking engine. Like, bro, you're not scared nobody in no fucking van. Crazy shit I seen. And that's my block, though. That's my block. Yeah, like, you're fitting to get...

Big I was a goddamn man. But, like, that was one of the... That's the most fun I ever had in my life, though, man. Just running through the city, hitting them a little spot, man. And then there's, like, one thing that, like, I know that my... Like, the comedians that I came up under, like, these niggas, everybody supported to everybody room. Yeah.

You get what I'm saying? You get what I'm saying? Like even if a nigger wasn't going up, they were going to pull up and make sure, you know, or like, hey, check on the room, hey, man, y'all are going to go over there. Like, they, niggas understood that there was other shit to be done. You get what I'm saying? Now it's like you, you, if you don't, if you don't, take it personal, you don't stay for the whole show.

Yeah, I'm trying to go catch this other money. It was, it was. That was some fun, though. Yeah. Open mic, open mic was fun. Open mic was fun. I missed just the little, I don't, not even the comedy clubs. I miss the room.

Yeah, that would make you strong. Having to go somewhere where it's not a comedy setting and make it comedy. And they came for the crab legs. You got to battle it. And watch the game. The crowd lids, the blender, the TV. The fine-ed bartending.

They didn't came to see everything but the show. Except the goddamn show. The people in sessions that don't want to hear this shit. You got to battle to do all that, but that's what makes a strong comedian. That way, I recommend all comedians, young comedians, internet comedians. First of all, stay on stage.

If you're going to get money doing comedy, go on a work out. Go on a Chitlin Circuit Tour. You're going to sell it. Go on the Chitlin Circuit Tour. Go down in the crevices and get practiced. You know, that's one thing I applaud T.I. about doing comedy. Yeah.

Because he's putting in work. And he's eating comedians. Yeah. He getting comedians paid. And I saw him. I saw him perform one night. And I was shot Because he did well

And I hear rapper And I know him from being really serious Yeah that's what I'm That's the funniest shit to me though That niggins spent all that goddamn time Being serious And wanted to laugh the whole goddamn time But Tilt been on the comedy scene

Been on the scene Since my first First started Tuesday nights at Uptown Tilt was always one of my biggest promoters, even before he got with Tiny Dillon and I had my night at Body Telt. The whole city to come to Body Telt, we used to do women's wrestling. That's what we do. Now, Shonda, tell you, he didn't have a whole lot of, like, outside of the comedy and shit.

It ain't but a few comedians that really hosted a lot of strip club shit. Shorter, Henry Welton, me. Yeah. I had, and Nard. That's a whole other lane. It would be plenty of times where Charlotte had been on the road and they didn't call me to host some shit. Remember, we used to do the, I used to do the, um, the, um, the camel toad

contest at Dancers Elite. Yeah, we had a strip club right there to the comedy club. Exactly. Yeah. So. Slapp a bitch contest. Yeah. A stripper boxing.

Ooh, you, my, I slap. Oh, my God. Don't say it. You, you know what I'm talking about. Don't say it, man. I'm going to say it because I just remember that. Charlotte hadn't been at the club for a lot of your fights and incidents When I slap the girl

See, don't say that I didn't slap her, I stopped the booty Okay, let me stop See, I'm trying to say This is like 20 years ago Sean, I know She's ready to come back with the story Eddie on the radio show to

I've been looking at you I got, damn it That's who hit me Don't do it I thought you were cat with you I got hit though I've been present for a lot of your incidents She hit you for her

Somebody came from the bar and told me Who? See, we ain't even getting into all of them. That's a whole other episode. Hey, but check this out. The Lowe said we don't need to talk about it. I take it word. See, now you want to end the shit out.

He's thinking about the incident, no. No, but guess what? I live, I'm, I don't drink. Good. And I used to drink it down. I used to drink it down. I'm a married man. That's good.

Coming up on my year anniversary. Yeah, man. I try to sew into the kids as far as, you know what I'm saying, putting positive on a narrative in an inner city what I grew up in. Yeah. You know. You got some very talented kids too, man. Yeah, they're bad. Yeah.

It's hard being a mentor. So I said, you got to leave from my higher position. So you can't do it at grounds level. Well, yeah, there you go. Like, where we're going to your house? I'd be like, we're not. But, uh, who was that before that? Man, wild comedy nights.

Wow, yeah, yeah. I like, I like the open mic thing. You do? Like, I'm going to go back in... I miss them rooms. I want to go back and start a room. You do? Yes.

Well, you're on the radio. You got to sit down like, you need a room. I want to start a room, because I want to try to bring some structure back, tell some of these young comedies how to really structure them a show. You know what I'm saying? Don't just go out and wait on people to laugh at something. You know, go practice in the mirror. Welcome to Pretty Private with Ebeney, the podcast where silence is broken and stories are set free.

They're not about to be like, oh, you're working on something. These people are paid. They want to see some shit. You better come in brains, you better go bust them with some of your short good jokes first and get them into it, then go into it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Go into your new stuff. You got to get the crowd. before you sprang something new on them. See, like you're saying, you're right, though. There's not too many OGs hanging around or open mic. They ain't gonna fucking listen no way. When I, like, when me and Nav came in, we listen to y'all now. You gotta give me to me.

Think how many motherfuckers started with y'all that didn't. You are right. Think of all the niggas that was around when you was around that had the same way. You right? We were sitting there. And where they at? We don't fucking know.

You right. We don't know. You know why? Because they fucking knew everything. They knew every fucking thing. A lot of the motherfuckers still doing the same shit. They don't listen. You can't bring everything to

everybody. They're not going to receive it the same way. That's why I say, if I host the room, then I could kind of give them critique, you know what I'm saying? Now, see, that is right. That right there will show you how many motherfuckers you can really trust. That's

why I said I missed the rooms. There's so much shit in that. So if you was on the road and you had a room and you need to the motherfucker that host the room while you go on who ain't fin to try to fuck the room up or be hosting or go to them people and say, I host this motherfucker. Now you got to find, that let you know. It ain't but a few motherfuckers you're going to call that you're actually going to trust that can be like, man, host my room for me, get the money that you're supposed to get.

Yeah, a lady, try to steal cats from you. Bro, you know how many motherfuckers you can just call and say, hey man, host my room for me. And I got you 200, the 150. Man, you But hell, them folk paying You don't post to be worried about what the folks made me.

I'm paying you to do me a favor. You said that this, all right, man. That's how so many niggins done fell out. Because they feel like they're supposed to get what you get. No, you were substituting. Them people gave me that to find you.

They don't get a substitute teacher to teach a seller. Now, now, if I just, If I have to get somebody to replace me, and it's like that, I'll be back next week. I'll get in the back end of the closet. I'd be like, you're going to pick up. You know what I'm saying? I can't find the end of it.

I'm going to pick up. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. If you called me and say, low, hold's my room. I got $300, and I say, I ain't bet. And them people had me $1,000, nigga. I'm supposed to, that's what I'm saying. Say, give me my $7,100?

What? I ain't got that to do with you. What? Give me my $7 hundred dollars? They ain't got a goddamn thing to do. I built this room. My name on this. Nick, my face is on the toilet.

Everybody in there big because they thought I was going to beat out of the front. They trusted me to bring this. Yeah. I'm going to take a hit. Yeah. I had to be selected. You know how many people wanted to host this?

You don't went here and fuck the room up. Now it's going to be six weeks. I don't came here 11 weeks by myself when y'all wouldn't even drive out here. I told you we had the money. Man, boy. Yeah. That's how a lot of niggas fell out. I believe it.

I'm, shit, it ain't no joke. I only, I very selected. But you were saying earlier, though, like, they was booking a lot of comedians that didn't have the time. Man, the game need that type of shit. It's just like when you watch the fucking ecosystem, nigger, hey, the birds fall out the sky, the worms eat the birds, the fucking beetles eat the worms. Like, you got to have this shit. You know how many how much money I made because the motherfucker couldn't complete the assignment. How many times a nigga got too drunk Friday couldn't do Saturday and Sunday.

How many motherfuckers were too scared to come to the Sunday? Yeah, yeah. How many motherfuckers were like, man, hey, man, Ken you? Shit, ended up with a weekend. All them times where comedians fuck up on the road, they called somebody else. Somebody going to get it. You get it? Minus the money you fucked up.

I'm about to go get this money. Somebody got to do the job. So if they got a motherfucker from the internet who can't, who do one show Thursday night and he can't do seven minutes and they already didn't agree that this now they brought the bag out for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comedians don't even know, a lot of comedians don't even know, it's levels to this bag shit. The same people who will pay you $2,000 for a weekend, will pay you 25, we'll pay you $20,000, we'll pay you 50, it's just that you don't make that kind of, money because you don't sell

tickets. Yep. Motherfuckers who sell tickets get a bag. You'd be going out to get their ticket money. You'd be going to see, these are the same motherfuckers who'd be wanting to go out there on hopes and dreams. Like, I'm funny. That ain't going going to sell no goddamn tickets. Yeah. They have to do. People

got to, you got a credit. They have paid for the whole comedy club and give you. They're just a restaurant. They want you to come in to get that food and them drinks. So, but listen, so when they see you come and do your weekend for 2000, you do all right, they don't really make no money. They're sending people home, really.

So, nine, they need somebody to come replace you. They're trying to pay you more than they ever paid you just to come and go after this nigga on the internet who can only do seven minutes. They know this. You got to be better. You got to, you got to prove you. We don't want to get no money back. Right. So we need somebody

Oh, no, over someone. He's talking about 100,000 after this weekend. I ain't going to say the establishment because the people made it right. The people who really run this shit made it right. I was working at this club. You know, when you go to a certain establishment in the Midwest and you do a run, you may do a certain set of comedy clubs

with the same name in different cities because there's a franchise. Right. So one of these franchises had a dirty, crooked, low-down, meth-smoking, scab-picking, son of a bitch. That was the manager. This motherfucker was clearly how.

All right, yeah, they gave way 50 tickets and sold 200. A lot of that shit just be ego, though. You got to be. comfortable. When you take that deal and you agree to the door deal, you got to be comfortable with 10 people come or if 100 people come. That's where them people really know this you ain't playing about your money. Because if you go out there and you still perform for the 10 that paid, them the ones, them the 10 that fuck with you from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock. All the people who love your head don't get, they can't make it to the 7 o'clock. Nine o'clock show sold out.

But you got to take the L with that shit. That's how you really. But see, when you got to perform for those 10 people, that's when those rooms, those open mics come in handy. That club set. Yeah, but clubs sit. Because you might not have but 10, 12 people out of open mics. Especially if you're popping in, popping out, working out with those small crowds, you learn how to get into.

And you come out with the best material with some, you know what I'm saying? Because you can't cheat there. Nah. And you can take your time in the motherfucker. What you're rushing for? Yeah, it's more personal. of them. So that's why I said comedians should go do the Chitlin circuit. Yeah, you got to go work out.

When you go and you hear the goddamn, you have the most fun somewhere you never expected. Yeah, them be, yeah. Oh, boy. Yeah. As a single comedian starting at 18 and being on the road.

I started at 22. Yeah, we're still young. Got years upon us, you know. I can't believe on celebrating my 30th year of comedy this year. Yeah. I ain't even 30 years old. I feel, I feel great, you know. Niggins to say anything, boy.

Exactly. This was the last street. We out. We out. Put us on the last exit before you hit the country. Everything after this, you don't want to fuck with. Yeah. You're right.

You got damn right. You really don't want to fuck around over here. This is the answer not to fuck around, no. Bro, from here to the motherfucking highway, I am the safest driver. Oh, for real? Man, do not fuck around down here. I've seen the police pull the police over down here. I used to stay on this motherfucking room.

Yeah, we go to church. Yeah, you're a good citizen. I'd be out here. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. And that's what politics need good guys. You know what I'm saying? Well, you've got to be a little cricket to make some shape.

I mean, it's a crooked system. Yeah. We just got to find the right people who are going to look out for the people, too. You can still be crooked, but don't just be selfish. We got too many selfish people. I ain't, because, look, like, we can't tell them folks how to do their job, because we don't know what the fuck be going on. Like, it might be some crookedness into crookedness.

Where are you going to be? So whoever they're being crooked with, they're just getting the kick. Like, somebody getting a better deal than them. So whoever they negotiate with it. You get what I'm saying? So that's just part of it. But then we've got to have some motherfuckers who look out for other people, too. Like, you can't steal 100% of the money.

You got to steal, like, 60%. Like, we got to cap you on your still. You got it, yeah, kick back 40. We got too many motherfuckers still in 100%. Take care of our communities. No, we got to take care of our communities. No, if you got the budget. No, they don't.

Commissioners, elected officials. That shit, it takes too long. We got to do it first. That's what really got. We started. You get what I'm saying? We started fixing our shit. Every time we started fixing our shit,

they tear our shit up. We already don't see what it looked like when everybody get together and then Black Wall Street But then you know what I'm saying Like they don't want us really to get in position So we're just going to have to All the niggas that left

That's like conscious enough to make it happen We can do it but we don't have enough support No we're not going to sit together No it ain't going to be this The best dollar is very powerful Right To everybody else It doesn't mean shit to us

Because we don't retain it You know what I'm saying We don't retain it. That's why I ain't, I ain't, like, the government, the current administration, all that. I don't want no fool stamps. I don't want for my people. Why would you want it? That's what they want to give us, and they want to give us handouts.

And he ain't, hand me some. No, no, no, no, no. But just what, just what, you go with the other people. They're giving out business loans. They're giving out grants. They're giving out opportunities. But that's what, that's why they, that's why they, that's why. be back and forth. I want opportunity. That's how they split it up. They're going to give you some

business shit. Then they're going to give you some bullshit. That's how it goes. Don't you see it's just back and forth? They pass that shit back and forth like a blunt. They don't give a fuck. They already know who the next five motherfuckers going to be. They don't give a fuck. It's a show. Like you said, you ain't even crooked enough to even know how crooked this shit get. You're right. That's just America, bro. I don't be ahead. If you want to survive in America, just do what the crazy white people do. If they start. buying guns, buy you some guns. If they go to Dick Sporting Goods on Saturday morning,

buy all the tents, get you some motherfucking tents. Whatever they mad about, act like you mad about it, too. We live in Georgia. That's the only chances we got. Because look, soon as we don't, like, when we fuck with some shit, they don't fuck with it no more. Yeah. We get behind the shit, they get behind, they're going to switch.

Yeah. What if they come, like, when we finally worked it out, black people, we got, straight. We don't even want the money. What'd you mean? Yeah, we figured out them issues already. You ain't seen the numbers. Black cram all the way down. We didn't get together. We're selling, we're in the tech industry now. We don't want nothing. We're selling computers and shit.

They would fuck them up. They only don't want to give us shit because we want something. We don't act like we take four years. Act like we don't want shit. Y'all got it, white folks. Pick who y'all going to pick. We're working on the black community. They need us. Because, yeah, we too gullible. Bro, if it wasn't for us, they wouldn't know where to fucking live.

Yeah. What's the most valuable property in the whole city? The motherfucking ghetto! They can't like nothing unless we like it first. If we start fucking with Taylor Swift tomorrow, they would kick that bitch out the community. You don't see how fast they cut Miley Cyrus off? She had to sing her little white girl hard out. to get them white folks to forgive her.

And they didn't want to do it. They were like, ah, she was in Atlanta. Get over here, Molly. White folks will kick you out. Wait. Justin Timberlake, just got his white in his back.

Yeah, they'll get rid of your head. Look how mad they got when Beyonce made a country album. Ooh. That's not country music. Brough, racism is capitalism. You're right. Probably studying. this shit, right? I was watching

some shit this old white dude said Toyota make the best cars you could buy, right? Right. But did nobody want to buy no fucking luxury Toyota? Because there's a Toyota. You just, they make a little bit of trucks and cars that don't tell. They're not going, America's two races to buy a

luxury Toyota. Definitely's car. What you think Lexus stand for? Luxury export to the United States. Lexus! Got y'all niggas. Got y'all niggas.

Got y'all niggas. Got y'all niggas. And everybody knows it's a Toyota in the goddamn way. You pop the fucking hood. It's ain't Toyota. It's right now. Yeah. You ain't got, you can look at it.

Yeah. Dog, I'm telling you, man, that's the only fucking way you gonna make it in America. Have you some shit to sell, do what the white folks is doing. And act like everything they're mad about, you be mad about it. They fake mad. You be fake mad. What we give them the fuck about this week? We don't even know.

We don't even know. Shit, this is inflation. We're damn there in a recession around this motherfucker. Shit, what you mean? Damn, that they don't want to call it one because it's election season. It's over with it. I don't know what the fuck that mean.

You know what a recession mean. That means white folks ain't got no money. So that's real. Damn. These are people who stole money. They don't got shit? Their motherfucker goes. Come on, man.

How the fuck. How the fuck we live in the country that's the richest country? But everybody broke. Where the money at? Everybody broke. If you watch the news, everybody broke. The teachers broke. The post office broke.

The truck drivers broke. We fucked up. Everybody. Everybody fucked up. Don't turn the music on now. It wasn't fucked up four years ago. Yes, it was. This shit was so fucked up four years ago.

They shut the whole. world down and made us think it was because of some other shit. That's how broke, motherfucker. You ever be so bruelly out and just take off? And go to sleep. They just lay down. That's what the fuck happened. You're talking about this damn near recession.

Nick, you think that shit has something to do with some germs? This shit, they said four years ago, all this shit would have killed us. Think about this shit. I didn't go for that shit. I believed it. I didn't. I didn't believe that shit two minutes. I believed.

I didn't believe that shit. I didn't believe it. I knew it was something. I seen shit having too many times. Because when the niggas said that they had the shit and they couldn't taste food no more, I was like, oh, this, what that, okay. See, that's what they do.

They come. They come with fear. So every time they come, they come in to make you scared. You know what I'm saying? That's how this shit works. Yeah, exactly. They control you. So they come out saying, oh, they got weapons of mass destruction.

They do. And they're going to run up in hill and take everything they got. and not find no weapons of mass destruction. They didn't find them. They didn't find them because it wasn't none. No, they got them. They just wasn't where they said they was at.

Now, the motherfuckers who they made you believe had them didn't have them. The other motherfuckers had them. The same people who told you they had, how the fuck they know? You got to have this shit to know that that's what the fuck that is. This ain't just some regular shit. Everybody's on got this. So how you knew what it was? Yeah, exactly.

I mean You know, fucking... It's a patrol thing, man. Yeah, man. Everybody got some of them shit. Why they ain't go to the other places? They know who got them.

Yeah, they know. They know where the fuck the weapons of mass. And I'm just saying the way they scare us up. Bro, this Georgia, they got weapons of mass destruction every fucking well. Go to a pawn shop. They got 3.57s and all kind of shit hanging off the wall. Oh, yeah. They got all that shit.
