I had a ball. I was living all my dreams up. You want to ask? Oh, hell yeah. They're late. I've been trying to get in there with the act of this shit. So. You know how that shit be.

Well, listen. Just like I was talking about it. To me, it's time for us to make out opportunities. They're not going to understand. That's exactly what. I got this shit right there's right. That's right. It's not going to stand the value of who we are until we take it and make it for us and then they'll be on.

Did you do it without? Yeah, we did. You weren't fucking with me. You weren't fucking with me. We'll talk after. Yeah, we need to rap. We'll talk all this. We'll talk all this. We'll wrap.

I see you still keep your purse close back. Hell yeah. That's always being your shit. You know what? And if you asked me about it, the one time when I take death jam and they took it from me, And I was like, I don't know this motherfucker. You know, I'm always on that, you know, the gaffle. Yeah.

You know, get gaffled, motherfuck, get gifle, I don't know these motherfuckers. Your hand is in my purse. Yeah, like that. So I've always been that person in life. You know, the reason I, it's a lot of shit in here, but the reason I don't carry a gun is my temper. I can see that. Who fuck you?

Let me ask you a comedian question. How long do you think it took you to? find your voice. Oh, I found my voice fast because I'm really doing an impersonation of my oldest brother and my father. Yeah, so I was just

laying back, because I started as a singer. Word? Oh, yeah. I heard you as a lingerie model, too. Nick, let you take something. Okay, this one really happened. Going to college, trying to make money, I answered the ad.

The club is still open. It's on Stoney Island. so they had an advertisement for a lingerie model but you had to wear the lingerie model it and then the person would pay you to take it off but God lets you know what you ain't supposed to do I'm not good at it right was self-conscious no self-conscious you know just not something that I really understood

I think there's a talent to sexual interpretive dance that I grew to learn but I wasn't good at it back then So I started making dudes laugh. You know, when you make a hood, do laugh. You funny the motherfucker. Show the missing teeth. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

When a hood dude laughed, so they was tipping me because I was making them laugh. And then one dude was like, let me take you home. You shouldn't be here. You got to say? Not exactly. He hit you with you. You know you don't got to do this. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But can I tell you something? He was a really good street dude. He was a good street dude.

and then I got a violent situation and those were the dudes that said if we find a dude that did it, we're going to kill him. I was like, don't do this. Don't do this on my behalf. But those are the type of men that we need in the community. We need somebody that's going to regulate it,

that's going to settle shit down. I think the worst thing that happened is when they took certain dues, out the street life because there used to be some order to it. No, I'll be saying that. Yeah. It was like a respect for the older cat.

That's the only word. That guy that you respect the guy. That's the niggas don't never get out of prison no more. Now it's because the money will turn to it. I don't know. I remember every neighborhood had that one uncle that didn't do shit. He was just in the neighborhood with a tank top on. Yeah.

Yeah. Tell a little Chris you need to come see me. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. I'm going to beat his motherfucking ass. That's right.

That's what happened. That's right. That's what happened. Now that niggas don't get out of prison. That's right. It was always a street dude that would tell you, you go home. Yep. You are going to be a lawyer.

You're going to be in a country. Right. You don't be here. But they knew who was the person that would be good at it. But there's no honor anymore about the game. In my opinion, it's like anybody can be collateral damage. It used to be that there were certain things that was off limits. Yeah.

You know. It's too free to be there. You know, you can't tell somebody, hey, that ain't right. You can't do that no. That's right. Because everybody thinks. they know. But also they begin to accept death. And

we had something to live for. That's why we I know, I'm out. I'm out the game, you know. So we're fearful. That's why I'm glad my need to get out of the street. That's what I was telling you. That's... Well, he just want to go fishing. Now. Now. Yeah. I'm fishing now. But you used to wake up on that bullshit. You know, before

you didn't get that little shit at your ass? You were... You know, I'm telling me. I was buying my about your wing about that time. I like I like a butterscott stuck. I like a butterscott Sunday. I made the pain hanging upside down taking the gun apart

putting that bit back together for my nose bleed. Listen to me. And then I'll be down at the police station going, you're looking for home? That dude don't even live here. But they talk about you.

That dude, I'm the inside person. I'm going to get this job at the police station. You look, fucking right. And the nigger named Otis. Oh, I know. Listen, me. That's why I had to come here and hate

And then you got put the little ointment on it on and it shit and it take about a year for that shit to grow out. No, no, it didn't go all the way black. It didn't go all the way. So you kept the nail. That's right. That's right. But I had to work

on it. You know, I just keep working on it and see some dudes, let me see your feet. Nah, we're good. See, I only act shit. I only had questions like that.

Round beef. Brown beef. Who? Newhouse. What about... He ain't put no kiboshes in it or no hillside? Why do you make their hands if you put no kabbas? They're real town.

Real town. So, okay, let me ask you a question. If you was looking for a bra, you're single. Who told you that? Are you? Yeah. Well, if you're looking for a bra, what you're looking for? Describe her.

I've been doing a lot of thinking soul searching and clearly the shit I like is not good for me what you like? Young business that want to fight I don't like young business I like my women kind of mean

What do you mean distant? Me like she ain't really too friendly You know what I'm saying? She don't really like nobody except me I'm the only one can kind of really deal with See, that way you figure it up. Not one of the ones that you could take in the room that she bring the room down. Uh-huh.

But I like the ones who don't really want to be in the room, if that makes sense. I love a motherfucker. I always ready to go. I love a good sleepy-ass woman. Uh-huh. Yeah, I like shit. Now, I would nod off on your hand. I love that.

That's only because my blood sugar. That's all to my blood sugar below. That's really, I love a lot. Yeah. And then the time, you're ready to go. Hell yeah. Like, she's been ready to go. Well, okay.

I'm close to that. It's first you've got to convince me to get up a go somewhere. First of all. That's it. That's it. Especially if the news, come on, be like, wait a minute. Let me just watch this 30 minutes of nightly news. Then maybe we could go somewhere.

See, now, and like, since I lost my mom, I need a girl. I need a woman who got a good relationship with her mama. Oh, me. Because I need, because I'm going to need the shit. I'm in that back. Oh, what if my mom are not alive now? Oh, I'm sorry. When your mom passed?

2013. Really? Yeah, yeah. He was close to your mom. Absolutely. Absolutely. That was your old girl, y'all. Yes.

Hell yeah. So that's what I need. I'm missing that. That's why it's going to be hard to get into another relationship because I need so much love. Why don't you just get with a bra that's your mama age or you can have both? Fuck, man. Fuck, no. You got, Miss Haddy.

No, I'm going to adopt me another grandmother though. For real? Hell yeah. Could it be anybody? I'm going to find somebody old enough to be my grandma. Is your grandma still my grandma? My grandma had my mom passed 2021. I'm going to pass 2021.

That's shit hard. It changed you, boy. It changes, man. Yeah, it changed you. Someday you just wake up and you just want to lay on some soft all day. You can do that. You need to.

You need a good titty right here and you need somebody rubbing right here. True that. What if they long? Can the tithes be flat and soft? I love a good long titty. Could they be flat and soft? I love a good long foot.

I'm talking about what she has on the tank time and she sit down. Them tits be sitting right on top of the giant team. But wait, can the nipples be up or do the nipples be pointed out? If the nipples don't even want to fuck with it. I don't like them fat men nipples where they just be smooth. I like my nipples poke out like a sticker. I'm just some of them stick up teeth.

Yeah, the nipples like a fat dude. They'll just be smooth. No, I don't know if I got it. Like you do like this and the bitch go, like it's a sticker. Yeah. Yeah, I like, no. So, okay, so what type of woman you're looking for? You just need a bra up and let you go fishing.

Uh-huh. Okay. I, um, I'm about, like, Los, I ain't gonna lie. Mm-hmm. I like some slow-paced, you know what I'm saying? She'll, don't like to be not known by everybody and all that. Do we really acceptant of a lot of bullshit that wouldn't be on? Name the bullshit that we be on.

I'm bored of two, right? Yeah. I can fucking two of you used to be a whole long-ass. You ain't still living in the city you was over then. What is she don't have enough money to lead? What I'm saying, though, like, you live in Atlanta, right? Yeah. You're a known freaking, like, Jacksonville.

We ain't never going to go there. True, that. So it's just like, don't nobody here to know you. So you don't want nobody when, as soon as you laying it, it's a niggins' own stakeout for your... I don't want to introduce her the money bag. She'd be like, hey, hey, let me talk to him. Come on, come, come, come, come here. That bitch, that bitch, man.

That's like, that way. That would have a dog. I know you, that's going to do for me. I know you then you just call you Joebo. Remember that? Ooh, oh! That's the way. Yes, yeah.

But that's discretion. That's discretion. You go to any city. I left, you have, you may have shaking hands with somebody I dealt with. I heard. But that's respect. No, but what I tell people is, respect, whoever I'm sitting with, whoever I'm riding with, respect.

If you ever respected me. I respect them old school, nigga. Yeah. They don't even can't anything about that. Listen to me. Don't say nothing. Don't talk nothing. She would mean that.

Only a bitch-ass dude would want to talk about. You know I had your girl. Niggas, shut up. Oh, man. Yeah. You got a show-coma courtesy of a bitch show if y'all close partners, that's different. If you don't even know me and we walk in to the barbecue, nigger don't say shit.

Give me the look. No, I'm going to a nigga to give me the look. You know, we meet up at the potato salad and those niggas don't say shit. Oh, okay, you don't meet up at the particular. Yeah, we meet up. As soon as I put a spoon in, don't say a motherfucking word. Why? Because this nigga will kill you.

And then he's going to kill me. He's going to kill you first so I can suffer. And then he's going to kill me. That's why me and him, friend, we don't like the same kind of chicks. We all never clash. Do you want to have a, tell death do us part relationship? Hell yeah. So you can build the empire with somebody you love and look back and go, baby, we did it.

After show. Do you ever feel the loneliness of the show being over? I like that, though, a little bit. What part of it? The peace. True that. Because I don't do a lot after the show. I just go back to the room and go to sleep and get ready to get the next city.

Right. I ain't really too into the nightlife type shit. But I do be wanting to come home. Right. I don't have something that all the time. Like on the weekend on working doing shows and shit, that's cool. But I do be one that love to get picked up from the airport That's right

Get a little breakfast You know what sexy to me Somebody to pack your bag Yes You know what's sexy to me? You know what sexy to me? A dude that's like Bitch I'm gonna drive around here

One more motherfucking time If you'll come out with this luggage right now Find your own ride home That's the new shit though When you call Let's say I'm at the cell phone light Cell phone lot

Like, if you ain't never had a woman go off because they fucked your order up. And she's mad like it was her. well I don't see I don't know about me some shit I ain't even know about myself bitch he emerged the pickles you heard what she said the eyes swell up

like Will Smith and Hitch But can't you get that Can't you get that with a little more subtlety I need you to remake this This is the thing about it Don't know People have podcasts all the time And they talk about relationships

and why the shit don't work. Won't nobody really even say it, though. A lot of the, it's not that these are, it's a lot of bad women, but no shit like that. It's just a lot of these women now that's out there. They're selfish.

Because they've been going through life doing everything by their self. And so now they just got a me first mentality. Like the things that you're saying that a woman would just, you know, it used to be times where women just had certain shit that a woman wanted to do for a man.

Now they don't feel obligated to do a motherfuckerucking thing. Like the one time you need some shit That's when they be like Bitch ain't a nigga need a rat They can't even get home But that's because some of y' y'all Suckers let bitches

get like that. To me It's not a manly thing You know Where y'all letting women get away with shit You know I'm a good woman You know I make a sandwich And a nigga be in the kitchen with me I'll make our same

Hold on man So what the fuck I'm doing If you're making the goddamn sandwich this I mean, to me, I think y'all let do you men feel that y'all let bitches get away with a lot of shit and why they feel like they can say flagrant shit to you. You got the other niggins that let them get away with that shit. Then they get with a real nigga

they can't tell the difference. So they're going to treat you just like they treat that up. She got women's intuition. She needed to figure it out. I don't think they got that no more. Let me tell you. They don't. They don't got women's intuition no more.

because it's like you can hear it and go oh, he's tired of talking. And then I'll go, hey man, let me holly it's you late them. You got a motherfucker to be like, say some. That's the type of shit that's

to make a nigga hang up and call you right back. What did you do? What did you work it out of the fault? That ain't right.

What's some of the shit did you see As a woman From women, they made you be like, what's going on? Overt sensitivity. If you're always sensitive about shit, don't say, don't talk to me like, bitch, all I said was, what time are you going to finish this? You see what I'm saying? When you're so sensitive, or everything is a fight, everything is a problem,

It don't involve we, none of that. Ain't none of that. And none of look forward to. They don't want kids. Like, you can tell they don't plan on really long. Really? But that's, I think there's some women because of the system telling us, well, you're the leader.

You know, because the first thing they want to do, if you can kill or incarcerate the black man, even all the way back from us being dropped off of Cape Coast Castle who did they need to kill the mandingoes why because they was using them chains snapped that neck trying to get freedom so if you

kill him then we will lose hope right then when women step into the place now you fast forward government assistance I can't have a man in the house that's what they want look at Claudine I can't have a man in the house well I got to have because I didn't come here by

myself he came first then God said this is what he needed so to me I think we should be fighting to protect us I can't do nothing by myself I can't of everything I have in my career what the ability will you say success is nothing without someone you love to share with why would I want to have everything I got

I'm in a male career Stand-up comedy, right? A man says, well, where do I fit As a man? Be the man. Well, let me ask you this. A lot of, you know, the social media shit once again. Women say that they take a man

For them to be in their soft girl To bring out their femininity. What? They said they need a man to put them in a space where they can have their soft girl era. What does that mean? They need a man to bring out

the feminine side. They're not their own garbage. That's it. Well, okay. But if you were the real man, he knows that he's going to take out the garbage. But you need to keep them posse around. If you're going to go traditional,

are you doing your part for what you want to name these things that you want a man to be? What are you bringing to the table? That's what I told you. They don't want a whole lot of something. They just want to be catered to. Yeah. You got to shut the fuck up.

Shut the fuck up. A man? Yeah, yeah. You can't say criticism? Oh, no. Hey, man, I don't like when you... Oh, you might as well count that relationship about... It's over with it.

I shouldn't like you no more because you said that. That nigga told me about myself? Wow. You were last thing. He expects me to have a... He's saddened me to him to call you gave for calling out to tell you... Well, I don't understand a grown-ass man's ex... You're sassy.

No, no. You're sassy because you told her what you didn't like. Well, listen. I'm going to say this as a very... every, what is the word? Laquitius, is that what? It's not a name of a person to be able to speak in a certain way. I know I'm using the word wrong.

Yes, I have degrees. But I would want a man to want to help me be a better me. It's how he does it that makes me receive it and go, okay, you might be making a point. But let me go back and forth. Let me chop it up with you. If we're talking and we eat and he go back, you know, when you snap back at me like this and a lot, I don't really appreciate that. And then if I go, well, the reason I did it because this, this, but you're right.

I shouldn't be disrespecting you as a man out in public. To me, that's a relationship. That's how I'm making love verbally. You see what I'm saying? But if you're going to accept that I said, who are you talking to? You can't be my man because I need you to stand up and go, bitch what? And I was like, I go, nigger. You know, that's what?

Bitch what? If I provoke you and drive you to bitch what, then I need us to figure something out. because I'm liking them in. Bitch, you know, but don't go too harsh. You know, don't go too harsh, because I'm still from the South. You know, if I'm over here cutting up, you know, slices some pot of meat and vina sauces and something like that with a butcher and I, don't go, bitch, what?

That nigga right there love vian sauceas. It's a shank three times. Who that? That nigga right there? You like vion sauces, potty meat, cradies? You listen to me. That's the good eat right there. Or a pickle with peppermint in it?

A pickle with a peppermint in it? Hell, yeah. Pickle. Little peppermint. She's from the wood. Yeah. But I think that, I think that certain women, they've never been around really good men who are strong men who want to make you better.

Hello, love, boys. I love you too. We have been having so much fun. Are we getting the game, D.C.? Yeah. Y'all, we're talking to shit. Oh, I love her. Oh, look.

Aren't you the first ever coming here as woman? No, I think Montana Taylor, I lost to Montana Taylor And then I lost to some more But wait, I got a good story that I've never told Okay See, this is the host You did You did

You did it! Sound like comedy, okay, so I heard Well, first when I lost It didn't bother me that I lost You know, no comic wants to lose You know, and so I thought I did the best I could, you know, went home, wrapped myself up. No, when I lost to some more, I went home and I took off all my clothes and wrapped up in a comforter and laid on the couch. And I was like, okay, you got to figure this out.

How did you lose? How did you lose? I ate a pickle, some sharp cheese, a slice of ham, and a chocolate donut, and a sandwich. Damn. I know. It was delicious. I can tell you. And then I drank some booms from strawberry heels.

I was on the couch. I put in the freezer and let it get some ice chips. Yeah, she let's see. Yes, I'll miss you lost. Yeah, so I was like, how did I lose twice? So then what I found out was When carnival snacks.

Allegedly, this is the way I was told the story. I think when Montana Taylor won, she went to somebody, I think she went to Tony Spires and was talking to Tony Spires. I need a manager, and he's a Bay Area Black Comedy Competition and everything. So the way the story was told to me

And this is my recollection That they portrayed me as difficult to work with Based off what? Well, listen I am the type of woman in comedy That if we was all doing a show First thing I'm going to ask is Did you gentlemen get paid?

That's the first thing we're going to ask And then if you say I didn't get paid How am I say only? Okay. There'll be no show until that guy gets his money. I'm that person. You just stood on business. Yeah.

Like, I had, I had an act working with me, and I don't know if he wants me to say his name, because I don't know if this is going to sound bitchified. So he was working a club. They paid, that was back when they separated the pay. So they paid me everything. They were supposed to pay me. I said, what's wrong? This is a man.

I said, what's wrong? Ah, they didn't pay me all my money. What? They owed a hundred dollars. So I said, one person that was with us said, let's go in and fight for it. I said, no, we ain't fighting for nothing. We're going to teach him a lesson. And said, what?

I peeled off $100. I said, I own that debt now. They'll deal with me. So then they came back to me. Later, you know, I come to the club, want to come back. You want to do the gig. I said, no. And said, why not?

I said, do you remember, and I named a person? I said, yeah. I said, you owe me $100? Yeah, no, you owe me. I ain't coming. And then the agent said, so you were. fuck yourself out of and name the number of what they were offering. I said,

I fuck for less. It's about honor. You didn't respect this man. So I'm not coming here no more. We can wire it to them. Oh, now you want to come correct. It's a grown man. So any men that are around me and work with me, you will respect them. You're going to respect

me, but you will respect them. So that makes me difficult to work with. You're a real woman. You're a little for a black man. Absolutely. Because if we don't, then they know they can separate us. If I'm going to sell you out, then what are we as a people? Now, we can come to the side and I go, man, you need to do these things. We walk to walk.

And you can either take it or not. But I don't need to down you, criticize you, crucify you, because then the enemy knows we're not together as a unit of energy that you'll never be able to break us. You know what I'm saying? Because once they know what they can put in front of you, you know, they don't. know our men like certain things. And I ain't going to say nothing specific. I'm just saying my friend. Wee, pussy, alcohol.

There you go. And a little mind. If you get a void, weed, pussy, and the alcohol trap, you'll be right? Well, how about the one that brings the weed and the alcohol? That's right, because she's carrying us. And let's make it work for this too. She keeps it with them.

That's right. And let's make it work for the other. Did you just throw a mulligan in this? Was that a mulligan? If I got the new PlayStation shit, you're like, hey, young brother, if this is what you're trying to do? You're like them young men, I can tell you. Well, listen. The young niggins it odd?

It is really odd now that young men are talking to me. And I'm like, but what do you want? What do you want? You want a mama. Well, if that's what you want. So when you hook, there you know, there's a hug like this. It's a rock hug. It's a rock.

You get a little motion. That's right. I'm going to make you synestly quick. So who did you go, Mary? With your whole milk, not 2%. We're using almond milk. We're using good-ass, whole homogenized milk. It's going to be ice cold.

Because I'm an old bitch. I need ice cold milk. But, yeah, when they portrayed me as difficult to work with, I lost jobs. A lot of jobs. It's a lot of jobs that I didn't get because they said I was going to be difficult. And what it was was, I was reading contracts.

I was analyzing. I was, no, that's not fair. They were mad. They're like, your contract is great. Fuck them. We know we're getting over on them. You can't. If you don't get over and get over on all of us.

But if I'm reading the contract, I went to college like anybody else. I'm reading. I got a paralegal certificate because I want to be able to talk to my lawyer. Talk to your talk. I study business mechanics and mathematics because I don't want to be able to understand what's going on with the money. But I don't want to be, I don't want to be. I don't want to be the boss I want to be the leader

So would you think that Would have hindered you if Like especially when you're doing it for people You know what you do shit True No they ain't gonna Don't give a damn about what your contract say I had a dude tell me on a show

I was like The dude was like So I'm gonna do root to woodward I said who are you He said I'm gonna do on the show I said who said Who said that

And then he said Well I'm about to go out and do I said no you not He said I'm gonna do this And then he said bitch and all the men that were with me was going to jump. I said, no, no, brothers.

No. I said, here's what's about to happen. Since this guy believes he's going to do all that shit, get in the car. We're done. Let him go. Let him do what he's going to do. This is his show not. Let him do it. Then the promoters came out. What's what fuck? What's fuck? Your boy, he said he's about to do all this shit.

Right. I'm not going to argue with a grown man. You said you like that bitch shit, though. Yeah. Not that time. Not that time. It's just the wrong one. But when he said, bitch, that's when I back down and said, oh, this is your show now. This is your show. So since you, bitch, okay, Nick, hey.

So y'all got in the car. Got the fuck on. Sure did. So the nigga who paid you were like, nigga, I couldn't kick him out the club, eh? He did. He called me. But I want you to come back. And I said, okay, we're going to do a solid.

But I do have a, would you say a way about me? Yeah. I have a way about me that a lot of people don't understand. I don't like bullies. but also I don't like to put men in situations where you got to get your man on and it could cost you your livelihood it could lead you to incarceration

Bring that back Because a lot of us are not protected In that way But if you go to your trunk Your life is over And it's a lot of people that have started some shit Just to see where your manhood lie Now you don't went to the trunk

Now your life is over They're called tricking you out of the street And that's not what I'm trying to do. And sometimes I have to step back and let fellas be fellas, or I whisper No, we're not doing that. Go in there and let them.

Uh-huh. That, or we're not involved in that. But I have to, I have to manage the masculinity in my personality. I'm not no... You know who will love you? Who? Me? Yeah.

I owe there. Bitch what? What? What? What kind of sandwich you need for the fishing trip? I mean, got a pickle sandwich. Pardon me? Probably being on pizza bread. On sandwich bread.

They got pickles, chopped up, pickles, and they're going to put it on bread. That name is like that in about two songs. You know a little work with you? Who? See, I'd be willing to say that, but I don't be knowing who people would be having probably. Who, who? You're cool with Tyler Perry? Tyler Perry's my friend.

Matter of fact, I just texted him on a couple of things. That'll be a good. little, Todd is going to have... Well, I've asked him... I have asked him that I think Medea needs some other friends. She need a sister. Yes, yes.

Yeah. Some of the extended family. Yes. That can carry with her, but they still go on that. Commit the Brown. Because really, we're in a love story. Would you want to be... Would you want to be Cheryl Underwood

the media person or would you want to be the comedian? Because your comedy were always fucked. is both. Those two things exist. Where does somebody come from Deaf Comedy Jam and Comic View to the number one most conservative network

CBS if that ain't God? So what it showed is I can do both. So it should be both. It should be. Okay, a Medea relative that used to be a talk show host I saw, how yeah, I'm talking to, who the fuck is you talking to me there?

You got two sides. Because we are, we are the only race of people that got two sides. We got two sides. At work, that's right. That's right. That's the real deal. That's right. That's right. And I think we should be allowed to show that. Why is that everybody else can have duality? You know, right? Right. Actors can play serial killers. Right.

With Kristen Bell. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And he chomper bitch. I put in a Washington stuff. Yeah. Then was Batman. Yes. And then turn around to be Batman. Say the word. That's right. Killed out of this later. That's right. That's right. Close the week out to that. Put it to that. That's right. Canterman, Candyman, Candy Man. It's a hard movie.

But not because he's killing people. If you look at the story of how they did that, the Candyman was asking the Chicago Pimp. That's right. If you look at his coat, he was pimping. He was pimping. Because he didn't turn around and that coat stopped. This would let me know he was a real strict nigger.

Candyman didn't kill nobody until you got to talk. talking his motherfucking name. He keeps your name right. That's right. You were straight. Yes, right. And the nigga warned you on the second time. That's right.

He's like, I ain't, nah. So you said that third bitch. Yeah. Ketka, can't make, got to man. So, uh, let me ask you fellas something. I said two. I said two times. What?

I think, yeah. What do you think the state of black female comedy is? Man, I wish y'all could just get together. I all have been saying this. I even came in the game. Like, I even watched some war and watching people like Dominique and Coco. And I'm just like, bro, these folks are like drunk and you got to see you see the young generation. I'm like, because the old has embraced me.

Some on it. But then they saw my work heads and they're like, all right, nigger, you're taking the same route. We took cool. That's right. I fuck with you. Yeah. If the women can do that, I just want to see one moment show. I want to see from the beginning to the end and when it's all women.

Like, I want to see that as a comedian. I'm like, this shit. shit good because y'all be rocking on shows with us. But that's because we on a show with you. There's two ways to look at this. We being on a show with you, I only wanted to be, people said, well, do you want to be

a girl comic? No, I want to be a good comic. And I want to be able to like, when I'm drinking on stage, I want to be able to drink. If y'all getting hot and we're drinking, I'm going to show to go. I want to show to go where it's going to go. Right. And if I can't follow, when I couldn't follow Kat Williams and

Maryland. That's when I called BET, I said, I'm watching this dude because I remember when he was cat in the hat. Right. And I was like, I can't follow this dude. It's a phenomenon happening, right? I like, I like comedy. I like hand-hand comedy. Right, right, right. Right. Okay, follow that.

You know. But I also like, I don't know. People say, well, Cheryl, why you don't do all-female shows? Because they don't call y'all shows all-male show. Right. And then if you do get up, sometimes it's an hour and a half of men ain't shit. No, I came from. And what do really want to hear two hours of men ain't shit?

I mean, I would love for us to, I think there should have been Queens of Comedy, one, two, three, four, five, right? So everybody can be Queens. But the way I understand it is they had an agreement that they were only working together as the Queens of Comedy, right? And that was it. what I feel like and sometimes

aren't there comics that y'all don't fuck with I mean see that it that I don't fuck with it just now that I know once they

it ain't about put on if it's my shit yeah I'm controlling who on my shit you control but if somebody

called me and book me and then I really I rarely ain't got nobody don't fuck with in this game

because I'm just gonna go handle my bed and come on off state that ain't got nothing do with me I may not like you

because the purpose but I'm going to go in my room. Well, not just like you, but your shit stay in the city with that nigga. And now your greatest joke is his joke. That's right. Everybody meant to be on your show. That's right.

I'll tell you what, because I, no matter how much. Who's standing? Who's in my system? If I'm high like this, and I go, hold on, that DC, young five shit. I'm going to tell you something. I'm working a show. And a dude was working the show. Right.

Well, I can say, because he did. So I'm working the show. in Georgia and this is how me and Mike Washington got on the road together and this it was the name

chicken you remember this white boy named chicken and they gave him his own show and Fox and he's deceased God rest of so

I think he suffering from something that took his own life if I'm not mistaken I didn't dislike this dude what I disliked was I was in the back drinking

you know drinking because I'm the headliner and I'm drinking and I'm drinking and I and and my head is down because I'm full of liquor but I can hear all of us

I can hear Bernie Jamie I hear everybody's jokes and the liquor is like but they're not on stage so I go to the club and I go get that thing off my stage

they love I said I'm going to fuck ooh Deila it's my shit because you brought me here get that thing of stage because you're not going to do

an impersonation of us. We're the most lovable, open motherfuckers that people can study us and come into us and then everybody go, that's amazing. No, it's not a fucking amazing. You're doing an impersonation of us. You're appropriating us.

So that I don't like. And when you say joke thief, there's a different, ain't nothing new under the sun. If you study Jewish comedy, your mama jokes was back then. Right? And I know black comedy. that will study Jewish material

and bring it back into the club like they wrote it. And I'm like, look, that's Joey Bisham. Fuck you talking about. That's stupid sale, motherfucker, that. You know, so if you study it, you'll know where it came from. My feeling is just saying,

there's some women. I can't speak for all women. People say, well, sure, you don't work with women because you don't like women. I don't work with women because sometimes I'm not allowed to work with. But I'm also very reclusive. You know, do your thing, I'm going to do my thing.

But I pray that there comes a time where our heart's softened and we understand how powerful we can be together. And that's what I'm working toward. So men like yourself that have opportunities, keep interviewing all of us as female comics and putting it in the universe that we could come together, make movies together, TV shows, everything, write books together. Because they want to separate it. But why can't we do the black golden girls and it's going to be full black female comics? It's coming to life. Right. Tyler's in there right now.

That's right. Medea. That's right. Like what I think about the state of black female comedy, I think it's the same on both sides. Yes. Because you know the panic and the urgency for it to be that, to be that one. They let us have one at a time. You get what I'm saying?

And they've never got to the point where they said, this is the black female comedian. So now it's just like a frenzy. And it ain't no union. And we don't have enough platforms for everybody to be great on. That's true. That's true. You get what I'm saying? So when opportunities do come, it's so cutthroat that motherfuckers are

throw friendships away just to go audition for the same role. And then that one person who got it, now you've got 300 motherfuckers who don't like her. That's right. Because she was the ones who got the opportunity. So back to Comicville. So Montana gets it. And I go, okay, I want her to be successful. So Moore gets it.

I want her to be successful. been successful. It was not my time. It was not meant to be for me to have. What is having? So I'm not saying I'm against any female comment. I think Monique is one of the greatest actors, not actresses, actor

of our generation. She swept award season with a role that was so diabolical having been molested myself, I told that bitch to her face, I want to fight you right now because I know what that feels like to be

around something like that type of energy because she was that good. So I'm not against Monique being successful. Some more leading the tour that she's leading, that Crown Royal tour. Laura Hayes and I work together in Beauty Shop.

I'm saying what you're saying. You got to overcome that pain in your heart to go, now let's work together. Like y'all work in the gather, right? And now let's put some... A lot of us are old school comics. We did not get to see the success that you all are seen to be able to do the things you're doing. But is the door closing for us to make our own sick moments and make our own movies?

Then let's get to it and let's bring back funny people. But funny old motherfuckers got to listen to y'all. And we got to help each other too fast. When we see brothers or sisters making moves on whether it be social media or Facebook, We have to extend ourselves to say whatever you got going on, it ain't about no money. I just want to be a part of. I want you to win. I want you to watch this.

They see them relationships. And they know when you paid somebody to be in your shit or when somebody came and thought what you authentically. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing too. Well, when we were talking earlier Shannon is my friend. Right. Cat, I think

is a genius and I love him. But I was kind of, I was feeling some type away because I'm like, is this the way we're going to get it? But it was very interesting. It was very prophetic. He was very profound and

he seemed to prophesize some things. But I'm always weary of giving the outsider some ammunition that can be used against the hard work. Welcome to Pretty Private with Ebeney. The podcast were silence is broken and stories are set free. I'm Ebeney and every Tuesday I'll be sharing all new

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's,

saw coming, we're breaking down what made Vine iconic. Listen to Vine on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. This is what I saw when I seen it. I see it from a whole other perspective. Just, you know,

you know, cat, and you know how he is when it comes to being three steps ahead of a motherfucker. Anything that he said about somebody that would have got him upset. I always heard his voice saying, Nick, ask him more people, look at him up, earthquake right now that you better get your money nigger you know what i'm saying i felt like the

things that he said and the people that he said it was so strategic that it was a lot of people he could have said shit about that he might have had a legit beef with but that's the good part i think he handpicked these people because he knew people's going to go back and see these people that's the good part because he never criticized nobody's talent well but wait man that's that's the good part of it what is the other part of it that if you you're speaking against your brum it could be true like I consider Kevin Hart a friend right

I would have wanted for me first thing I would have wanted Kat and Wanda settle it before she died you said that's what I mean settle shit before somebody leaves this earth right

squash it but then if it is true that they couldn't get together and she dies why can't y'all do the same thing you're doing here and bring Kat and Kevin Hart together and go squash it. I think that shit got too all out of here once

the altercation at the club happened. Well, her husband put the gun on them. Oh, you're talking about Wanda. Yeah, but I'm saying, though, if it would have just been some comedians. I know, I thought I thought he was saying Kevin and not what I'm saying is, if it was just comedians talking shit on the radio, I

think it could have been that. Once he escalated to the other altercation, that's what made it be beyond the talk. Well, let me ask you, man. Would you have let somebody talk about your brawl on her job like that, like he was doing? I don't know. See, see, see.

You're talking to roast that in the head? Well, no, the fact that the way I heard it was, it was really Red Grant's interview. Yeah. And then she brings Kat in, and Kat being the genius that he is. Because I want people don't come off for this and say, sure, don't like Cat Williams, genius, authentically loving person, visionary. I love all comments, even if I don't agree with you.

But then when it gets to a point where it goes viral, she loses a job, her husband. I didn't know she lost a job. Yeah, she lost the radio job. For Rooster? For the situation,

the situation got, it went out of hand. But then if my man, first of all, first of all, if a man, I went and married to step like that I might have tried to jump up and go

back, babe, put the heat down you don't need no metal on this. Don't do it because it's going to ruin our lives, right? But that's what I mean by a man having to step into his manhood in a way that's going to cost him his freedom. I wouldn't have put no gun

on a nigger. There'd have been a talk hat like man. But you don't know what you would have done. I know what I would have done. What I'm saying, though. But you would We don't, we, we only getting to look at the shit from the house man. But why go fishing now? You get him. He's bad.

I'm saying, I'm trying to have a regular roast because he ain't called out a name. Like, he didn't put a hands on a while. But I bring the gun to another nigga that did, like, put your hands on it? And it ain't no more talking. Just like she's saying, though, if you're the man who with that woman, you got to be able to identify where she felt the disrespect at. Right. Right. And if you're watching it, though.

You don't, you can't, you can't be at the house. is it, you know what I'm saying? You can't do that. It's going to fuck the hold. Maybe he felt like he should have. Maybe he felt. Maybe it went too far. Yeah.

Maybe it was a conversation. But you get what I'm saying? You don't know. Really turned into that. What was said before he saw that person by the time he got to the house, he might have heard he damn near jumped up and put his hands on. You don't know what gas was on it.

This just, you got to look at shit objectively like. And that's why I think you squash stuff with anybody. The first thing I try to do so. self-analysis. Then I'm going to squash it with you. And it's a lot of comics out there, a lot of female comics when I talked about what I talked about on CBS and hearing the phone call with the Queens of Comedy. But what I hoped that they would hear me say is, I thank you for that because it was shit I didn't know that people felt about me. So I decided to work on me. And I thank you for that because that's how I get to CBS by working on me.

But some people don't hear you that far. Or they still manage you or they don't like When I heard... Let me ask you this, though, before you... How long did... How long went before you even told anybody you heard that phone call? CBS. All them years.

They never knew you was on the phone. No. And I did the Tom Joyner, fantastic ones. She was about to... Oh, no. You want to tell her? No, you do it. No, I'm not. I bet.

I'm 303. I'm going to give them the short version. I'm 33. I'm in my my version. She was, I guess she was up to be one of the Queens of Comedy on the tour. Right. And they had a conference call for the people they had already selected.

And they was pretty much asking how y'all feel about us adding Cheryl to it. And she, they... Well, so I thought that I was trying to be efficient and dialing to the conversation on time, if not early, on time, right? So I'm listening. Now, Greek letter organization members know when you dial it into a conference car. So I thought they was going to put me in cue and I was just going to hear some music. And we'll wait until the moderator.

allows you in the car. But I go straight into the call and I hear them talking about me. But I believe that God did not let me unmute that phone and say something because I think God needed me to hear what my colleagues felt about me. And I never told it,

but I started to work on myself. And then if you look at, I did beauty shop with Laura Hayes. I did the Tom Joyner, Fantastic Boards Cruise, with Adele Givens and Sammore. but I'm trying to be a better me, right? Because I believe God ain't going to bless foolishness.

Get yourself together. And I believe that God be looking down to me. I was just about to bless her with everything. And she still ain't got herself together. So I started to work on me. And I didn't tell that story until that day, those years later. Because I felt I can show you. You know, I can show you.

I can show you that I'm better. And then when I heard that there was some, I sure has an ulterior motive. Of course I have an ulterior motive, being a better meet, and all of us being successful. Right. They would ask me on CBS when I was on the talk, we want to bring this comedian on or this person on, do you have a problem with this? No, I do not. Why? Because this is the platform.

It ain't about who I like and who I don't like. My job is to interview the person. I wanted everybody that could come on CBS to come on CBS, so that God. would look at me and go, she's ready for more success. She can handle it. But then when it got viral and everybody was upset and, you know, people were talking

about lawsuits and stuff like that, truth is the ultimate defense. And secondarily, do what you got do. If that's what you feel you got to do, do what you got to do. Would I work with any female comic to this day? I absolutely would. Because people need to know, if y'all fellas

can work together, we ladies should be able to work together. Let's open these doors. But I want producers to pick us for stuff. You know, pick us. Why can't wait? They start the talent. Right.

But we know we fought with you. Like, that'd be the thing. It'd be the relationships. And then it's plus I know you got the talent. Yes. So it ain't like I'm going off a limb. It's more so like, my nigga, ain't nobody else put you in no shit like this. I believe you can do that.

I believe you can do it. Let go. A lot of people wouldn't come in here. What do you young motherfuckers? What do you young motherfuckers know about me? No, I'm coming because I research. respect you, man, but secondarily. No, we brought you because we

respect you. Yeah, we love you. We want to talk to everybody that we came up watching. You don't even know like when you was just like, it might have just been Comic View might have just been another gig in your career as a comedian. We're the

generation that came up under y'all watching that religiously every night. Well, do you know that there were things just like saying that they didn't I'm difficult to work with, so she can't this. But even before I get back from deaf comedy jam because remember there was

deaf comedy jam and I almost didn't get that. Now we used to watch that, we used to record deaf comedy jam with the little black with the little black stress pants and the orange shirt. And the little orange shirt that I put the pen, safe the pen in to make it look like my waist was smashed.

Come on, man. I know your jokes you bring a nigger a hot glass of Kool-A. Yeah, that's right. But listen, I almost didn't. Dude, that's a for real, for real. You're on the fridge. But I almost didn't get it because there was forces that was like, you know-need, hi, you know-ne?

See, back when I was coming up in comedy, women weren't talking the way I was talking. I wanted to be Richard Pryor. And when I was in a room that Richard Pryor was in, and you know, you want to run up and talk to somebody that you respect. I don't want to say idol because we're not idle worship us. I understand. But somebody that you were like, oh, I'm inspired.

Right. So I wanted to run up. But it was a force of energy pushing me back from him because we were the same person. We had the same flaws, the same needs. And I just backed away from him. So then when I was in the room with Eddie Murphy, after the BET Comedy Award, Eddie Murphy was at the after party. And I ran up on him.

And I said, I'm not going to miss this opportunity. He was wearing his sharp ass, like vanilla sweater. with the matching vanilla pants with the vanilla shoe. And he went, yeah. Oh, that was, you know, vanilla shoes. Absolutely. I thought she was a gay to see him. It's Eddie Murphy, Nick.

He said, and he smelled like he went at least $750,000 worth of cologne on it. And I ran up to him and I said, Mr. Murphy, and I stuck my hand, and I pulled it back. I said, I don't think you know who I, of course I know who you are, Sherilander Wood. I was like, damn, Andy Murphy knows it. And that's all I needed was to walk away. Hey, he did a move with Eddie Murphy. I told the nigga, we ain't friends no more of you on. At least tell the nigga about me.

Did you tell him? Fucked me all the way up. That nigga, that nigga, boy, you got both boy and fuck, though. That's it. That's exactly that moment, though. It's like, it ain't shit I want to ask, fuck. It ain't shit I want to say. You can't break my face.

I just want to make you, dude. You saw my fucking hand. Then you see me. That's all I mean. That's all I mean. That's all. That's all. It didn't always shit.

I just needed you to see me. me. We had a two-minute conversation and it stuck with me for the rest of it. It got me. Because, you know, that's all I want. I'm like, eh, eh, eh, get right with Eddie. It was just one scene. They said, cut. And he was over there by himself. I got there. He got two big still. How you doing, Mr. Murphy? He was like, how you

don't? You can see his security. He'd be like, no, you know what I'm saying? He got it time. Let him get his time. And I was like, yeah, Mr. Murphy, man, you know, man, it's an honor, man, just to be in a movie, which, you know what I'm inspired. I'm like, there anything, like, you could tell him and just about coming. He was like, damn, there's anything I could tell you about coming?

He said, I wish I would have just kept an hour in my back pocket. Sure you want to work. There you go. I'm cool little bit. He said he would wish he would just keep an hour in their backpack. And he was like, man, I've seen y'all go on stage and all that wood. I'm like, Mr. Murphy, you could go out here 20 minutes. They love you, man. He's like, man.

I left on a... Yes. He's like... That expectation. All that 20 years of movie. Yes. And I'm like, Mr. Murphy, listen, I hear that. Yeah. You will fuck if you come back. Well, it's not about the high hockey.

It's about the love, the respect, the talent. That only lasts for a few minutes until your people do this. Or your people, like I said, you can write every day. You can only polish on stage. You got to polish it. Write it and then polish it because you know what work, you know what don't work. You know what jokes to drop out. You know when to do the TV show set of it or the gully street.

show set where everybody high everybody drunk everybody. A little bit more sauce on. That's right. Put some English on the ball of the joke and see for me to have that and to be working with people, I don't think people understand that feeling

but it's also that respect of someone. So I'm saying all of that to say that I wish we would remember open the door for somebody else. Like for me to I had to drive Well, first, they heard that there was a girl out there doing a certain type of comedy.

I was in Chicago. I was first doing it in my maid name, and then I got married. I was doing it in my married name. So it seemed like they thought it was two different people doing this gully type of, because I like to drink. I was drinking and talking shit. And usually, what are the blue jokes. The blue jokes is when you work a club and they write the jokes that you're telling on a blue card

to say the jokes you can't tell, right? Oh, shit. Yeah, so that's where it's coming is blue, right? Anybody can work blue. Right, that's right. And to me, it's harder to tell a dirty joke because there's only two, maybe three ways to fuck. Right?

And it's already been told. It's already been done. So you really got to be smarter to get somebody to really laugh at a really good dirty joke. Because a dirty joke can be clean. A clean joke that ain't funny, it's not worth anything, right?

So here I am. Miss? That's good. Don't look. It's a few motherfuckers need to. There it is. So, but to me, I wanted to be a good comic who could stand flat-footed because the comics I was looking at, the Pygmeat Markhams, the Lee Bruce's, the Gough, the Goughby, Cambridge's, the, I wanted to be Morse. I wanted to be.

also wanted to be able to tell adult jokes like Richard Pryor because there was this chemistry, this pull, right? So I wanted to be able to do that. But the females that I looked at, Marshall Warfield is the closest. She told a joke on, I think it was the Tonight Show.

It was somewhere, it was mainstream TV, but it was, I call it, one of the greatest dick jokes ever written, where she was trying to explain how to eat a hot dog. And it was a clean dick joke. And I was like, I think it was it Was it Johnny Carson?

I think it was And then you see Whoopie Get up and do what she's doing But then you see all these other comments For me I was a gunslinger Who was an adult

Who was a street woman Who loved God And all of that is in the same Pow Pow Pow Pow And don't let me be drinking See you won't come You as a youngster Made me respect women

I'm like oh It's a woman that are tail-ass I'm talking about You love you would say your set a motherfucker being the crown you want man man man man man man man that's bring a motherfucker guy

come back man man man man man I'm like Now let me ask you And that's what I want to ask you this You were on Like your whole career You came out doing the height of what they would call

like black comedy Like comic exposure Now I remember James That show is so iconic Yeah And you were one of the motherfuck Who went out there

And really ripped that bitch In New York Get the standing old And then that shit hit HBO Yeah but you know as comedians we know like you tape this shit

and you're waiting on it to come out like you know this she don't do it now give me right after that motherfucker when you knew

that shit was about when you knew it was about to change everything well I rarely tell this story and I'll probably elaborated in a book

one day but y'all getting in here first I really blew the set what happened was when I said I had to drive

me and another comic Andre we drove from Los Angeles and he had just bought a Gio I think When the Gio Trekkah Right And he wanted to open up the engine And so we drove from L.A. to New York

To go to audition at the peppermint. We had, I think was bags of You know, popcorn you pop in a pop In brown paper bags That was the food And we had about three, four gallons Of that dollar water that's in the plastic container In the gallon.

That's all that. Good, man, did. That's right. And we had like $150 for gas. So he was sleeping, I would drive. He was driving our sleep. Right. So when we got to the peppermint, we missed the audition by an hour.

They had closed. So I called my father, and I said, do we have any relatives in the New York area? I had a cousin, my cousin Ernestly, and my cousin Tina. And I called them and they let me stay with them. It's your first time, mean him. No, we knew each other. I just didn't know where they lived. I didn't know where they...

It's a crazy way to fly the rest did. I got a bullfucking Memphis. No, but that's how... That's how it happened. You from Mississippi. You can't people? Okay, come on. You're good people.

So we get to New York. Andre goes off to do a gig back in Chicago. I'm still in New York. I find out my cousin, Jimmy. I think my cousin, Jimmy or Baby Doll, was working for Hush That was What's the baby name?

Melba Moore and her husband's management company So they said we have to come down To the peppermint That's what we stayed a week To come down to the peppermint To audition So peppermint

It ain't for punks You better have a lot of shit Shout out to Bob Sumner. That's it That's Bob Sumner now And so I go Yes right And I think Bill was hosting that night

And Marvin Dixon, Marvin Dixon gets up And does, remember the Jamaican dancehog girl shit he was due When he was stripped down and with that skinny body He closed with that motherfucker That was his clothes That thing was stripped down to his draw Yes, yes And he was Jamaican dance hogg

No Oh, I'm about to say he got the sock on it No He's a big trip He destroys the peppermint He destroys it and so I drink a I think I was drinking gin back then

I drank like a triple shot of gin the girls in the audience said we don't laugh whatever you do and I didn't think I could follow and they said do seven minutes okay and the gym was like bitch do what you feel

you're in this motherfucker this I only shot bitch so I get up and I do 20 minutes of highly sexualized political material right and remember it was an Apache did I need a gangster bitch I need a gangster bitch oh yeah

he runs up on me and picks me up off the ground yeah and he goes that's a motherfucker saying that night I think it was Ben Ben Hill that did a Apollo Comedy Hour he was a booker of Apollo Comedy Hour and Showtime and follow all of those so he asks could I do those shows and then I got a phone call

my cousin's house about staying to do deaf comedy exam and they said what do you need? I said I need a hotel room because there's somebody driving. I need parking and you're closing everything. So when I got to the rehearsal with my, well first

I could hear people whisper. That's the girl. That's the girl. That's the girl. Right. And the outfit you see me performing in is the outfit that I rolled out in L.A. because we didn't know where to buy clothes. You know, we didn't know you give us a stifeng. We don't know where to get clothes in New York, you know.

She's sad. That's right. If you go to Chicago, okay, you go to ERA Black Plaza, you know, get some clothes. Here, y'all would know where to get the clothes for a reasonable price. So I didn't know where to go. So I said, well, I'm just going to wear what I got on and everything. So they, so when they read the credits, we did the run-through and everything, they said, what's your first joke? I think my first joke was, is it two drinks going to get your dick, son? Is it my death jam? and Bidson needs to suck my dick

and they said What's your first joke? Two drinks to get your dick suck. And what's your last joke? Bidson needs to suck my dick. Everybody's like, that's material? That's what I'm going to do? Right.

So I get up and I do it but as a You know, some of us do club sets. You got to learn how to do a TV show set. Right. So what I didn't know or understand was to recoil.

When you had an art audience laughing, but they can't hear the setup because they're laughing so hard and they're responsive. So this is where I messed up and thank God for editing. Thank God for Stan Latham. Thank God that's the man. Yeah, Stan Latham.

Who, if you read the credits for Sanford and Son. He owned that too. That's right. You understand. He owned that too. He's legacy. Yeah, he on that too? Season three? But I had gunned the set so hard. I was, bam, bam, bam, bam. So my cadence was off. you know, it's like when you do stadiums

and you can't. The delay. So then I was like, gosh, I messed this up. I messed that up. But they edited it really well that you can't see where I'm messing up because I'm a gun sling up. I'm just slinging them, slinging them. So by the time, first, it gets back to Los Angeles that there's a girl out there doing jokes like a dude, right? But she's a girl. She's still a dude. She's still a girl talking,

but she's as good as any man out there. So I get to California and they say, well, there's this thing called comedy. I was like, wow, I'd like to be considered for that. He was like, no, they're not going to pick any Def Jam comic. I said, why not? Because y'all dirty. Too blue. Yeah, and this is supposed to be clean.

I was like, funny is funny. It doesn't matter. Everything we do can be cleaned up for mainstream TV and other audiences. Am I right? That's a good comic. If you can't clean it up, then you didn't really write it. if you can't fix it for the circumstance you're in. We can host award shows.

VET needs to have us as presenters if they will see it in their heart. Let us be in the in the zeitgeist of everything that's now. You don't have to write nothing for nobody. We do it already. And let us stand side by side with a great actor and present. Am I right? Talk your talk. That's what that's what should be happening.

So by the time I get back to Los Angeles they start talking about this which we walked around. So I'm patient. I'll wait. And next thing you know, we wanted to do comedy film. And then when I did old drama and did that where it was me and Juanita Bynum.

And Wianney the Binal. Yeah. She won, they want and what is, chocolate? Is she no longer chocolate? Because I respect people's spiritual beliefs. Because small fry became small fire. And I don't know if Chocolate.

She go by her real name, Cynthia. Conchita, is it conchita? Is it? Forgive me, chocolate, for not knowing, but I want to be able to say it right. I know who you're talking about. Right. We were on there with them, and they wanted to question me about being a Zeta. And was it against God?

And I said, first of all, I don't pray to the God of Zeta. I pray to God as a Zeta. So, no, what you're not going to do is make this demonic when you don't really understand it, or this is something you want to say.

you all have a lot of people on that show. Y'all left head, uh, uh, uh, her land name like the shit, y'all be smoking. The backwood. I was like, who? Sherry Underwood? I'm like, yeah, man. In Mississippi, they always be like, Sherry Underwood. Oh, yeah. In Mississippi, your name, Sherry, I ain't know if they're those. Mm-hmm. Well, we got the old. I used to sit in the bed and just watch you go crazy, man, like

night after night. And, you know, that's all coming. You know, that's all coming from you. play rerun. They'll play a rerun in two, three weeks straight. Yeah. You get a new I'm like, God, God, I know the joke for real. I'm like, all right, my way to walk in. Get your lap on. Okay.

Hey, get your lap on. Mm-hmm. Y'all is saying that what? Everybody gets it let it. Then it goes straight into the joke. You did one of them comedy specials on Beatty too, didn't you? Yes, I did. Yes, I did. But the biggest joy was at the time of the

O.J. Simpson's situation, it was a place to go. to work out your jokes in real time that they could come on, you know, the other thing, I would say, the best part about it was we had a platform to show we can do deaf comedy jam and we could do comic view.

Right. But the material was good. But also, I got in trouble for jokes. Like I told a joke about comparing people's struggles to the civil rights movement. And it got me, put on a website as a, as phobic toward a group of people.

Oh, I did. Yeah. And I couldn't get work for a long time. Definitely couldn't get TV shows. Yeah. You know, because there is such thing as the, I call it the block list.

But God is more powerful. Amen. You got to be patient. I got to be patient. This message is sponsored in part by the black community. and or the black church. Absolutely. Absolutely.

And for me, while I was hurt about it, and I wanted to go talk to the organization that had me on their list as phobic because my manager at that time said, no, they're too militant, they're not going to listen. And we as black people have,

we don't have to make a decision. I'm black every day. You know what I'm saying? I told a joke, they worked on Comedy View because that audience understood what the joke was about. Just because I'm pro me don't mean I'm anti-you.

Right. But what we have to learn as black people are the boss. You're true that? We have to learn as black people is that it's all to the good of the culture.

You know what I'm saying? People may not understand it now but you'll understand it later because we ain't going nowhere. You understood. And you can't do nothing without us. I understood. You know?

Yeah, it is. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Do you have any young, female comedians that you like personally today? Well, I like everybody when I see them. You know,

I like Jess. I consider Tiffany even though she's older than the game right now. I love Tiffany Harris. I love with everybody. But I also want to see us old heads work with these young comics and do shit together. You know, we need to be

writing scripts and producing. That should a goat. Yeah, and then it would be fun to see us all working. Why is it the other racist people can hate each other and they'll work together and then stand up at the Golden Gloves like they never talked about each other what's their word? Cocksucker.

They all say, they hate each other and then be in the action film to go. That ain't real hate though. That's just a cultural difference. That's how they show love. They don't hate each other. They might talk shit at the crib. But long as they stay at the crib and y'all just talking shit

and don't nothing like actually happen like they don't never like do shit to each other. Well, listen. It's all verbal. They do, but it's cultural. We just don't know about it. Now, I'm going to tell you something.

When Joe Rogan, I know a lot of people don't like Joe Rogan. But when Joe Rogan was putting up them clips of who was doing who material, ooh, before the call-outs was happening, when Joyce Lopez was going going to throw somebody over a balcony,

listen to me. Everybody say, well, they don't get gully like that. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. They just can survive it. We can't. Who the fuck knew George Lopez with Shook Knight?

Stuart Knight and Big Red is the only two motherfuckers I have ever heard doing some shit like that. Mm-hmm. All right. Mm-hmm. And he was over there like Wabba! Yeah. Somebody doing his material? You're going to throw him over a balcony.

God damn. Real grown man shit. I'm glad they ain't do that. I'm glad they didn't do that. I'm glad he did. Me too. I'm glad he didn't do that. Mess up your freedom over a temporary misunderstanding.

Hell yeah. The joke thief has got to steal for the rest of his life because he doesn't know how to create a right or she doesn't know how to create a right. You got steal forever. But see, they're necessary to them. That shit necessary because it's just like in the Matrix, right? When you just be kicking it and doing all the amazing Matrix shit,

then the motherfuckers with the suits show up, Mr. Anderson. Then you know it's time. to get the fuck out of it. Right. You know the most dangerous place to be? After the show, at a diner with a bunch of comments. Because now the show is over. We got liquor in our system.

We got weed and we smoke. This is the best show right here. Right. But that's also where the thief is listening. And it's always the discussion of, if I get to the stage before you get the stage, because comedians will say that. If I get to the stage before you get to the stage, my joke. But I

feel like you got to keep stealing. The funniest shit I ever seen like that this comedian was on stage, he said, well, my lady said, give it up for my ladies. This nigga in the back said, this nigga doing my shit. Nah, I can't say. I love how you all doing?

I can't have nothing. I can't have anything. Hey, yeah, got a job. Damn. Oh, grateful out of that dick. That's right. And the Jimonize in the middle of this. That's my dog. You just asked me that.

Real nigginsville. Man, God. Damn. You all that's my shit right now. That's my shit right now. I can't do shit. Hang around, you nigga. Won't everybody have a bad time?

Clap your hands if you love the Lord. Man, this nigga. You don't really like that. Hey, Benning shirt. Makes a noise. You love your granny. Man, this nigga, I'm going, I'm going to hit this nigga, right?

My grandma joke, no. Mm-hmm. Well, a nigga stupid, bro. What did I want to know, though? Any questions? We just love this shit. We just love your journey for real. Well, I will tell you this, though.

I'm happy that God let me live that still be working. Amen. And I'm happy that I think the Lord understands me. You know, I like adult comedy. I like profane sexual comedy because I believe you can put some knowledge in between all of that.

You know what I'm saying? How we lose an election? Impossible. You know what I love is that we can turn on the TV and see you on there talking shit with Sharon Osborne and all them. And then you can come on that show and kick with us and eat fish and shrimp and chicken and shit.

See, that's how the shit supposed to be. Talking about from JJ, nah. Yeah. But if you forget where you come from, that's where you lose it all. Because then you will simulate into somebody else's world and lifestyle. Come on, huh? And that's to your demise.

Once you start assimilate. You need a paper towel. No, I'm cool in the game. Fing her. Come on. You need one. You be licking them fine? That is.

She lied to lick. And why is the bitch by herself? Let's be like a pig of her. Okay. Okay. Okay, wait a minute, let me ask you fellas. Why is it that with female comics or a strong woman and a strong business, why are we alone? What's up?

Why y'all alone? I don't know. Because y'all don't trust them. I don't know if I was wanting to be alone. I think women get to see men be men on the entertainment industry. They see men being men so much that they can't really trust them. I feel like y'all be swiping out too much shit. Right.

What? Like, see you pull the brawl out of the audience? Yeah. I don't pull dudes out there. But what I'm saying is. I'm pulling the finest dudes to Mike Epps store. I like to thank you, Mike Epps. I pulled a baby DeBarre's.

This boy was young and pretty. Hold up. You think we're going to agree with you. Like, when we're going to be getting them niggins. I sure are getting them niggas. Drug dealers, football players, Even the football drug and the football player, even the police. I do.

I do because I will walk up on a dune go, so what you're doing after this? Oh. Yeah. That's fine. But also. Had a cougar do me like that in the Dominican Republic. Remember what's the Dominican Republic? Yeah.

Man, I'm talking about literally, what's all me at the little pool part? Mm-hmm. We walking by. And she was like, hi. I was like, what's happening? And she was like, what are you going to go? I'm like, shit. She's in there bitch.

She'd be like, want to go me? I'm like, hey, I tell you. Hey, listen. Bitch, we're a Dominican Republic Miss, I would, do you, you know what I'm trying to damn and play it out, but I'm like, do you in this my old focus. She's like, come on. I got my little hotel right here around us.

as I'm leaving, I see her talking to a digger, so I'm like, darn, that nigger took my bit. I was trying to go around to the world. Wait a minute. You got to get laid up the job.

And the pool party ain't even over. She didn't feel to me to take no shower. No. They ain't new shit. No. I'm going to get his other hand for the pussy. That's right. Because you said you're going to knock the lining out of the time.
