We're the capital of independent, you know. Ain't nobody coming out there way to look for us, so we just got to do it. That's right. Out the trunk, rap a lot. out the trunk. That's right. Everybody always see rap a lot. I think that's our only label, too.

You know? We had some other labels, but, you know, rapa lot, they ain't stick around. You know, we got, well, we had suave house. That's right. That's right. You know, and then after that, you'd have the independent, you know,

switch a house for sure. But rap a lot is the staple. Absolutely. They should have did a comedy, a comedy thing. We tried laugh a lot, but it didn't, It didn't stick. You know what's so funny? It didn't stick at all.

Jay Prince's reputation precedes him, but he's a funny guy. He is. I've done, I've roasted Jay Prince a lot. No, you did. How was that? That was dangerous. I think that we have a healthy respect for each other. You know, the last time I wrote, I was hosting something.

It's not like I'm roasting him at a roast. This is me hosting something. I'm like, yo, man, so you got all these bodyguards? It was him and Floyd next to each other. Like, somebody bodyguard's got to take off, because can't nobody see. Like, who's going to jump on you next to Jay Prince? You see, I'm like, and he's small.

He's a small. He's a little kid. He's a lot of dudes around, though. Yeah, I know, and I know most of them. So when did you know when to quit? Did he do, did he point the finger? Did he point the gun finger? I don't never quit.

I mean, he just, I've known him for so long. It's just, he just, so that's why you're talking to me today? I'm like, yeah. I don't never say nothing disrespectful. I don't need Chief and Steve to come talk to me in the corner. Hey, let me, let me holly about you, about the ball said, man, now. That's how I know you from Houston, because I don't know nothing of them people, but I'm about to write them names down.

Chief and Steve. Them the guys. Like, you see him, then it's the dudes that you see around him, but them not the one. This is the second layer. You got to go to the second tier to see the actual dudes who are going to do something. Got you, got you. They're the front men, them the big dudes like, oh, them the ones that did it. He was like, no.

It was Chief and Steve. Are you supposed to be saying this? Yeah. This is old news now. Everybody know who Chief and Steve is. Okay, okay. How did you get in the comedy? Man, just being black, really, you know, I've been funny since I was a kid.

You know, I know people try to think I was funny because I was in prison, but no, I was jovily sarcastic in prison. They was just, I was the kid, the kid on the back of the bus. And then when I was in prison, I was a. same way oh so you're about to fight okay who gonna lose this fight twice what you mean i said because okay the mix plane one of y'all gonna win this fight and then the ceo's gonna come in and beat up both y'all so who want to lose this fight twice that was my logic you know i was just a sarcastic jovial sarcastic person and um when i got out it was the it was the goal it was definitely the goal and that became funny how i even got to start doing the goal

because you start comedy you actually don't know what to do you've seen it but where do you go you know now you got to go to an open mic I knew I needed clothes

More like but if you had that net And they knew that them was not the one It was not It was not the one You know it's closed It's a lot of knockoff clothes now It's like And I can tell

Like if you have the Louis Vuitton bag And your straps never changed color That's not the real bad You know It's like I saw a lady, it's a grocery store. First of all, I don't even have to name the grocery store. Just know it's a grocery store.

And she works in the grocery store, but she had the $4,800 dollar Louis Vuitton bag and she's walking into work. And I was like, nah, ain't no way in the world this lady working this grocery store and she bought this. But I just bought that bag for my mom. But I know

definitely a lady who's a cashier cannot afford that bag. But in her mind, it's like my brother. Man, my brother got some it ring. in this is that only seen three people in the world with him. It was saying Oprah, Art Kelly, when he was out, and Diana Ross.

And he got him in his head. And he I'm like, so, man, I told I said, yo, you need to take them fake earrings off. Me, what fake earrings? See, this is the problem. You owe me $40, but you think that I think that you got him 10,000. You're a crazy person. I don't even know why people do that. Like, what's the point of

fronting? Hey, what's the saying, fake it until you make it? I don't believe that. I used to believe that when I was young. I don't believe that. I didn't believe it then. Because of the nights of the round table. Yeah.

It started with the shirt. People knew that, knew that shirt was fake. I'm just in there looking crazy. My daddy's at me press. I'm like, my daddy bought this. That's your only excuse. My daddy bought that. That was your first right out of prison?

That was your first right out of prison? Yeah, that was my first shot out of prison. Okay. A nice of the round table. How long were you in prison? Six years. What did you do? You don't mind is asking.

I used to be a street pharmaceutical rep, which is very fond of it. Very frowned. Like they want, when you sell drugs, they want you to have a jacket, go to like a CVS or Rite Aid or somewhere and people come in with prescriptions. I was, you know, short-cutting it.

What kind of drug was it? Unfortunately, crack. Oh, okay. You said, oh, okay, like that was, that was the worst ever there. So you were just ahead of your time. You know, I got partners who went to jail for marijuana. It was like, and they knew it was wrong.

They're like, man, this don't even make no sense. It's a little. now what I did was definitely wrong you know like with this and and I'm still sad about what I did because you look at the epidemic now you you realize that you contributed to this in some form of fashion from what you were doing in the early late 80s early 90s and then the spinoff of these drug-induced children that came from the product of those people who you infected with that chemical you complaining about the crack babies yeah so this state this they spend off and these kids take

everything. You know generations, we had certain things. You know, you had the heroin then you had weed, then you had cocaine, then you had crack. But these kids, hey, man, put it on the table. I'm doing all of it at once.

Crush it up, just put it in a bowl. Perkinset, Exence, heroin. Hey, that's at noon. And I still got weed and drank and I'm a snorting a little thumb. I made you, I don't know what I'm doing. day. Like, hey, what it's called rolling? Rolling? And I don't, I don't want to do

it. I don't want, my kids doing it. I don't want, I don't want people doing it. The fact that you only got six years back then is, is, because they were giving people football numbers. Who got six years? Oh, I thought you said, you did six years. Oh, you did six. No, I had six on a, I did six on a, I did six on a 15. Wow.

And I had a 15 and a 10 that ran concurrent. Who did six years? I said, six years for crap. I said, they didn't get football numbers. They didn't. They didn't. I said, they You only got six. I said, Jesus. Man, no, envy.

You knew somebody. No, envy. I didn't know nobody. I knew Rio Harris, my attorney. First, when I first went in, it was a Fed case. And Fed, they slick, too. They come in there, oh, we just going to give you 300 months. And in your mind, they say it like that too, that.

Yeah, 300 months. And in your mind, you were like, okay, 300 months, that ain't, that ain't, but I know math. And I'm like, no, no, no, you know, 300 months, you know what? God, damn. It's 12. no we carry no you're crazy 30 years right 20 years

they're tripping because they said it a month so it sound like you can do it 300 more than 300 months it sounds like days but then when you do go to calculating

so then you got to drop down the state right in the state the lady came in and she was wowling the prosecutor she said well I'm recommending 99 years

this is when 99 years this is the thing envy how much crack you got I don't know not only but it was five keys right so the thing is this Jesus thing is this I'm they're not supposed to let me in court because I'm gonna say something my attorney at the time he wasn't talking fast enough

he's like 99 years and I said a very derogatory word toward that lady and I asked her who she thinks she caught I'm like man I am 19 who you think you caught ma'am eskabal like so we come back to court again got reset off she's on my I think 60 years would be a appropriate. Man, once again, ma'am. Like,

do you want me to have a life after this? So, Rio, my attorney, Rio Harris, big shout out

to Rio Harris. He went in there did what he did. And he came back, he said, man, I almost got you 10. I said,

I almost got me 10. What happened? He said, your, your case started at 15. So you had to take 15 the lowest number, but I got that other 10

because I was on judifer of probation. And so they ran it concurrent. And the crazy, when they gave me the 10 and the 15, my girlfriend at the time, she's going to faint in court because she's thinking it's 25 years.

She's going, huh, I say, oh, you really back there doing the movies? Respect her, man. Respect me. I know. Respect. Man, listen. That lady had $85,000 in

$1 and $5 in the trash bag in the house. Ask me how much she sent me while you're talking about she in there faint. Asked me, Solomon. Not a dollar. Not a dollar. But now, my, um, my extra chick, you know what I'm saying, Kendra. Extra chick.

My extra chick. Yeah, that's, you got to. The extra chick. Side is a derogatory term. I agree with you. Side is. It's bad. It's derogatory.

It's bad. It's an extra. It's an extra. It's a bonus. A bonus. Yeah, you got, yeah, you got to ask something like that. You know, you can't just be like inside. Nah.

My, um, my extra junk. Kendra she ain't got number 12 grand she bringing money up to the thing look how respectful that is you know what I'm saying that 84 over here and man

why I'm going into that life. What you said? You said, man, I got too caught up. I was about to say, this chick is about to rob Pam. I'm going to go rhyme, Pam, to get you up on it. When the judge is telling you, you're going to get 300 months at any point you'd say, who can I tell him? No.

You ain't thinking about it a little bit? No, no, no, no, no. That's cold. Man, it's some dudes threw me in a Trump when I got, um, I got robbed. You need a hug, brother. All the stuff you're going through. This man, life is amazing. You got this on the specials.

You got a story to tell. So after you get out the truck, hey, throw you in the trunk. Man, you got to see the specials, Andy. You got to go, you got to follow the, I'm on three now. I got throwing the trunk in two. I made it out of the trunk. I made it out of the trunk. You like cars.

Bring people that ain't got nothing to do with it. Man, I think Emmy was over there a little bit. Yeah, man, because let me say, because when I was young, I could take the mattress in jail. Oh, no. I've been to jail as a real adult. I was like 46 or something like that, traffic style. Driving it with no license.

It's been a license. Crazy. Yeah. Now, my license always has been. I don't trust my license. That's the last time I've been. I don't trust my license at all. Like, if I come, if you're in jail, if I got to come bond you out, I'm going to have

to send somebody because my license is shaky. Just never know. I probably got stopped somewhere I didn't remember. And then all of a sudden, you know, I got to. came to get you out and now they're talking about can you step on this side I came to get somebody it's not an exchange it's not a hostage you for him no I came to get it we're supposed to both be leaving together he can't drive my car

and I don't that's why I don't trust my license but it's shaking sometimes thank him man but that mat you can't take that mattress no I slept man it was funny I went to jail in a in a white area And I thought, okay, and at the time, I was a spokesman for a bail bonder's company. Wow. And the spoken was, if you go to jail, we'll get you out. So it's no way in the world I'm going to stay in there. But you got to make a phone call.

You got to make a phone call. You got to get a bond first, right? So I said, okay, let me see the judge. I can get a bond. The man said the judge is gone for the day. I said, but it's 9.20 a.m. He's done all the judging. Like, he's done for the day.

Man, so I had to stay overnight to get a bond for them to even come get me. What time did the judge come in? Oh, this is my thing. This is my thing. In Bessoria County. Yeah, I just wanted to let me know. Bessori County. Okay.

The man done at 8.30. What? What time he come in? So you come on. Oh, and he's early. Because the next day I had to get my, they wake you up at 4.30. you in there at five he ruled everybody's sitting in the room

he's going at 8.30 so I had to wait to the next day to get bonded out. I'm thinking nobody's going to know me because it's all white people. White and Hispanic I'm walking with a little mattress and I was on this show on Comedy Central

this is not happening. This white guy beat on that window Ali's his deep oh come on man I look I said what's up man man man he was on this is not happening? I said, yeah, and this is not happening. Man, man, going on.

All night, man, and prison is loud. I can't, I couldn't take it. I didn't think it was that loud when I was there, but I'm 19. I'm probably loud too. You loud too, yeah. And this dude rapping. And I'm, no, this ain't what we doing. It's sleep time. That's when I was back in him. It's bedtime. This boy rapping. Another dude beat on the wintertime.

He needs his diabetic medicine. I say, hey, man, you can't be doing crime if you're sick, bro. You got to be. I was healthy when I was doing crazy. It's crazy. So when you get out of jail, you get out of prison, you get your fake polo, do you remember your first show? Yes. Just joking comedy cafe.

Thursday night, Apollo night, I have on a suit because I'm working at most. I got a job at the mall. Okay. So I'm working at most of men's apparel store. Got a suit on. This is when you learn observation. So it's a lot of college kids in there because it's an Apollo night. And everybody up there doing everything.

so I go up and all I said was hey and them folks booed the suit jacket off me I'm not even I didn't even tell us

it was bad so it was man I'm talking of them booze it was in stereo too so I came and sat down and my partner Drake on the man what happened

I said bro you saw what happened you was in the audience I think you was booing with them like you participated And at the time, Nikki, she asked me, said, Nicky who? My kid's mom. She's like, we know all the people.

I was going to explain it. And I said, she said, what, what your jacket at? I said, it's on the stage. They booted off of me. It was crazy. Damn. So you had to go back up there and get your jacket? Man, yes.

Man, it was. Man, it was. so I waited for two weeks waiting for two weeks came back t-shirt and jeans and I didn't write down what I was doing because everybody was singing, man and I never won at this Apollo night

because people hit you with the gospel songs even though I was good gospel song. Can't be Jesus. Man, I heard I sing the dude he would start rapping and was about to get booed and changed this song in the middle of the song and started singing by Jesus.

So I'm like, well, this is more rapid That's a minute ago Now he's about how you spare relief J-U-S-U-S, I'm like loud, why you're wild So I changed my whole thing Went back up

Every week for about A month and a half To the people, as soon as I would get there After that people were like, yo man, you're going up tonight Oh, he's funny. So I end up becoming the host of that same place That I got booed and just joking comedy the cafe and I was the host for like a year and yeah that's how I started do you remember the joke

that got him that made you say you know what I can do this yeah I I remember the Jones that got him it was a dude a dude tried to boo me that was on a football team and and I told him that he was a he was a nose tackle it wouldn't hike the ball because he liked the way the quarterback had his hands on his ball no he was the center you mean yeah he just He was the center. Yeah, yeah. That was like, hey, he's like, I don't feel like it. I remember that's when I was doing jokes, you know, and not stories.

Okay. You know, so now it's a different thing. I don't think I've written a joke in maybe 10 years. So how did you turn into the storyteller comedian? Because that's a lot of, that's hard for people to do. Like, it's hard. I imagine not for you, but it's hard. Deal.

Deal. I'm on the road with DL and he told me he said yo man the funniest you're going to ever be in life is based on how honest you want to be and this was after some people

when I was writing jokes I don't even blame the people anymore because I think that when you have writers that writers under the pressure of turning in something to another comic and so they could see your

show and then turn in I mean I don't have nothing this week but if you try to get that check so you turn in somebody else's material to do the person who you turned it into has no idea that you just saw this somewhere and so now oh you're a thief so now I just

I switched from doing jokes to doing everything personally about me and if you would have to and people still try to steal it but it's hard because now you know there's a lot of comics

that all of a sudden they went to jail but I went to prison it's a different thing jail and a lot of people went to jail but prison is two different things but that county

in the prison two totally different things so I would go up and people would be trying to doing jail stuff in front of me I'm like but you know that's not

what I'm doing I'm walking through my life from 10 years old to now so it just happens to be the first comedy series of specials like these all these specials are tied together so if you see three now which came out mother's day you can't go see you can't go see four without seeing one and two

yeah so and one is one is the is the masterpiece but three is the best one to me that I that I see and two has a different a different cachet to it because I was showing a different skill set in the actual art of it because it's two faces to comedy you know, it's happening a tragedy. So in two, my sister passed.

Sorry to hear that, my brother, absolutely. Well, it's late now. I didn't know. You know what I mean? Nobody's dead at 20 years. I mean, I was 20 years. I was already, you know.

Grief is not my dad. You said, I haven't seen you the whole time. Grief is not linear. I don't know how you're feeling this morning about it. It was 20 years ago. He said, I haven't seen it in a while. What? It's 20 years. Man, this guy is crazy.

I don't know. I'm 50 years old now. Sorry. Sorry. Man, well, I'm, man, listen. We've dealt with. This guy's crazy. You know what I mean?

people died since I'm not I thought we didn't wracked them up since my son's we didn't racked them off Hey you're like I got about seven more You can say sorry Hey man I can run them off

Oh man After my sister It was my son Then it was my grandmother Yeah we've had some hard ones man Yeah So that's why I heard about all of them brother

That's why I did loss Because that's one The number one things In the black community That man Death runs through our family a little harder than just a loss

is like now you got to figure out how to bury them and all this man I don't I'm I don't want not another goal fund don't send me not another goal fund me let's try to figure out what is the situation that we need to prepare for when it's

inevitable it's death is going happen we won't even talk about it which is hey man I think about death every single day every single day so I live a better life than most people because I know I don't have the time

to be engaged in things that really I can't rectify you know I'm not going to hold a grudge behind something when I can get an apology or I can apologize I don't you know like you know I my whole intent to come up here because I was mad at you what I do man you were saying my name wrong

and you did it twice too you know I'm like this man know how to say my name What are they wrong? Ali. You know, you were talking about my special with somebody who's like, yeah, I think it's name Ali, Ali, and they see it to me

and it was on the break, because I'm like, he knows how to say Ali. He knows, because I kept hearing other people say Ali for me. I don't know why you was listening to other people. You bet you that, Solomon. And I say, A-L-I. I say somebody called up there and ask

him who his favorite boxing. It's probably Muhammad Ali. He's going to say, Ali, just take the Muhammad out. Because when the first special, came out, everybody I knew was talking about that special, especially in the comedy world. It was like, yo, you got to watch this dude

Ali Sadiq. You know? Ain't nobody say that's right. Nobody, nobody said you got to watch this dude Ali Sadiq. He knows a lot of real common, connoissellies. Ain't nobody say Alice Sadee. I'm saying, nobody said that. You know, it's like, Ali Wong.

Like, he said there all of, Ali, right. But he got to me, I was and look, I don't even know, I'm like, Sholomey, I'm like, Sholamaine don't like me. When I, when I, when I, when I, get up, when I finally get to the breakway, I'm leading with, hey man, why are you saying my name?

Then I left it alone. Right. It's like, whatever. Whatever. At least he mentioned me. Amen, that's all I had. But that first special took off, though. Yeah.

Did you understand that it would do that or it was just a risk? I'm going to throw this on YouTube and see what happened. Man, I thought it was really good. And when I do a special, it takes a while for it. You know, I have recorded probably three or four specials before that one and was like, no, it's not special. so domino effect the first one I knew that it was I knew it it's like the first album I put out

talking loud saying something that's my reasonable doubt you know so I knew once I put this one out I knew it I had that that feeling about I was too excited about it and it didn't have any flaws to it and that's one thing when I look at something I don't want it to have anything that somebody can grab onto like but what about this

So when that happened And then somebody said Well, what's the rest of the story? I said, what? Like, what happened after that? I said, you want to know? So you had never even planned to make it All of it to keep on going with a series.

When somebody asked me about what happened after that And I said, okay, well, I stopped at 16 So let's do from 16 tonight. team and then we did the first we did two and then I say yo let's finish up how I even got incarcerated people know I was there but let's see how I got there yeah and then we we did three and we recorded three and four in DC at the same time so we did um two shows on that Friday and two shows on that Saturday so four comes out Father's Day so we strategically But one on Mother's Day, one on Father's Day, and four is two hours long, you know, versus the 1.30 that I've been doing.

I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all.

It doesn't matter how much I fight, doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.

Right. And he, my daddy, thought he was on some big boss, mob type thing, because his two brothers, was locked up, I was locked up, then he gets locked up. So he sends $500 on everybody's books while he locked up and going to write a letter, yeah,

just sent you some bread. We're not in a family. You didn't send me nothing until you got locked up. I don't even understand this. I've been locked up like four years. Now he's going, yeah, sent you some bread since we're down here. And I wrote

No. She did that before. You don't just make that one up. And you put that coat down. I put it down. I'm like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just bought the can and four.

I'm not messing with the lady. You sound like D.L sometimes. When? Just in regular conversation. When? That man called you. Allie. Now, he said you sound like somebody else?

Me and D.L. has a total different voice. Yeah. We have a total different cadence. Yeah. But you can just hear it every now and then when you're talking. You said it three times you're going to sound like. He said you.

I don't think he liked you. I don't think he liked you. But that's your guy, but Diel, you got all. You just know that. You just know, you just looked in the files. You just know,

I heard you. That's all you did. No. I heard you. I heard you say, oh, that's a little shan. You sound like Bill Byrd, too. Which one of those guys you think has had the most impact on your career?

My career? How to who? Does anybody? D.L. Definitely. Okay. D. D.L.

Dick Gregory. Bill Bellamy. I can put them in order. Um. The. Dez White Billy Washington. Did you know Dick?

No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, why wouldn't you say, did you know Dick Gregory? Yeah. Because they're going to play with that part at the end of anything.

No, you said, did you know Dick? Say, yeah, very well. Like, come on. You already know how that was going on. It was good because you took it serious, you know what's crazy. I heard it once you said it. I'm so a dope.

I ain't even. listen to it. I mean, I'm 50. I don't say, I don't say pauses and I don't say nothing. I mean, it's a nice neck, that's a nice shirt. I don't have to say Paul's buying it. I'm grown. I'm such a kid. So he said, you know, Dick? You're like, yeah, I know Dick. I'm like, okay, what is this going to do? Like, very well.

And then, but what you, but you're making sense, though, Charlemagne, there you go again with that nonsense. You got a dick on the wall. You got what I'm saying. You're saying again. You're going to say it again. You're going to say it. Dick on the wall.

Right next to be wild. Like, come on. We had Dick Gregory up here He was up here for an hour 45 minutes That's all That's all That's all he gave you an hour 45 That's the interview That's how long the interview was

Oh no man I'm done Let me let me see Let me see After a show Dick Gregory Right Now I'm all got a complex

I say the whole name So we talk two shows I think it was six hours each night after the show yeah and so I have very close ties and I don't care

what nobody say it was too many people around that night when that man told me in my face you're going to take my place if you can maintain your attitude

to Ali because you you're a firecracker yeah he said man and I understand because you're a Libra and he was a Libra. So

I'm very good with balance. I like balance and then I don't shuck and job. I'm not going to say nothing to you that about you that I won't say in your face. I'm not even going to say it on the silence I'm ready to say it in your face. I don't do the somebody

said just you know who's somebody I'm not you know no I'm going to say who somebody is if they said it I'm just, I don't play them type of game. I'm just a straightforward person. And in this business, this business, it's a lot of phony bologna's, man,

that you can just tell me no, bro. I got tough skin. I don't need the fake and shake. And so when you try to handle me like that, I get a little touchy. And I'm not one of them, I don't miss words. If I say I'm going to do it, that's done.

I'm not feeling I don't play a lot I wish I could with people but I just don't play a lot with the goofies I just say I can't do it and it's a lot of them it's a lot of people say

say things and then act like they didn't say it or because you have more popularity you can throw something out there and people gravitate towards it but man I always think about Benny Blanco the way you have people, that person

is going to eventually come back. That's right. I'm saying? And I tell people, man, Benny Banco from the Bronx, man, that man just wanted to talk to him. So I don't even handle young comics like that. It's certain things I'm going to tell you, I don't want you in the

green room when I get there. Right. It's not your green room. Right. You know, it's a certain code to how I came up. I don't go in the green room in my home club. If you're the headliner, and Until you invite me into that green room, I'm outside. At disrespect.

Yeah. It's just a cold. If I'm the feature or the host, I'm not going in the green room. Man, man, what if I'm on the show? Well, watch this. Dick Gregory, between each show, he used to sleep. Just like Damon Wayne's. They sleep in between each show.

So you're going to keep walking in out of the green room while they're in there sleep? Disrespectful. Disrespectful. It doesn't make sense. Yeah. but it's so many people think that they're entitled to a space because you was there at their club doing the open mic that's the open mic is not the the show

but it's levels to it's levels to all of it and in stand-up I think the barriers have gotten broken due to a combination of things when people used to do you talk about the internet comics they're taking our slots no just is not taking your slot the people who are doing sketches they wasn't taking your slot the comedy club was like this

we have a building yeah that's right we need people people we need people we need people um just as you can you come on Wednesdays and Thursdays we'll have phazon love on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but we're going to make this money on Wednesdays and Thursday. And we had a magic show on Tuesday before you came.

And I had comedy defensive driving on Sundays. I'm trying to keep the doors open. So we can have a place to do comedy. People was looking at them as skipping the line. No, it's no skipping

the line in his business. You can jump forward, but then what make you have to come back skill set when you first started you know how I do stand up you know you on the screen now

these people that you were that you were getting on the screen now these people right here yep there's no edit it's no like I'm gonna okay y'all y'all saw what I just did I'm going to cut that

and I'm gonna come back and say something different no then then what happened was the internet guys started getting success and then they start big dogging the stand-ups, experience stand-up

saying, oh, I'm making my money you ever run. But then pandemic happened. Now everybody got to humble their self again because I came my editor and my people are not in here. I don't have nobody do these sketches with. Now

comics were raining supreme during that. We just cutting the camera on. Boom, what's up, baby? I'm here. So that's how it, now it's immersion now. You haven't heard a beef about internet versus

traditional because now everybody is back. You had to go to the club and work. They had to come from behind the screen. Then people like me started using the screen to just promote that I'm going to be somewhere instead of just, instead of shunning, because I'm old school. I'm, oh man,

I've been doing stand-up 26 years. I'm in the trenches. It's different for me. And now I have both. You know, now I have both. I wasn't trying to find out, trying to get on the way with the algorithms and all that. Now, pay somebody to do that, but the slapsticks and the, the shock comics, now we're back to, at least with me, it's back to long form. people told me

what they told me they don't really listen to that much they're not going to watch the whole thing so I start putting out longer than just an hour they were like no this is what I want to

hear now you're engaged in the story if you watch Law & Order you watch John Wick why you wouldn't watch a series of something that's funny because my only skill set is to tell stories the same way that I grew up hearing them

you know my uncle that's how they started hey man let me tell you about this big legged lady I just met you like yeah what big legged lady my grandmother she'll come in and tell them my aunts you know I tell stories just like people in your family

so it's not a it's not a magic trick to it I read books and I listen to the ancestors how they did things and I try to put that together and that's relatable

and a lot of people don't have that though like you know what I'm saying it's not it's not it's easy for people like you know like a lot of the like internet comics they don't know how to keep people's attention like you can do that you're a great storyteller

and like you said you tell it like your family member like you know just like people you know people you grew up here and telling stories people don't know how to do that I get that's back to people not sitting down with when the last time you sat down

and you listen to a story from somebody in your family like an aunt or all the time? I love it. Yesterday. All the time. Yesterday. You got, you had it. So if you was telling the story,

you would probably do it the same way that you always seen it done. If people have these disconnected families and they don't, hey man, when the last time you saw your aunt? What? I don't know. I don't go mess with my husband.

Yeah. But I'm like, no. I can't wait for my cousins to call me and say, man, let me tell you what your aunt did yesterday. Yep. You almost fell off a boat. And I'm going to listen to the whole story.

I'm going to listen to the whole entire story. And then I'm calling. Yeah. Then I'm calling. Oh, so you out here falling off boats. Oh, I can't wait to call. Who told you that? No, because I grew up with the whole,

I never did nothing private in my family. If I did it, my mother called. Everybody. And then everybody know. Yeah. I mean, people that you didn't think and you mind of your own business, your uncle, so

you just around here, peeing in the bed, huh? Crazy. Hey, man, we are at, hey man, we, we, we're out in the body. That's what you want to talk about? No, I'm just saying, your mama telling me you wet every day. You're tired of changing the shit.

Every day. See? Exactly. And I'm not, you're just, I'm saying, you just pissed through a mattress. This is what you thought. And these are still things that people are going through

so it's relatable it's going to always be relatable family do you understand my uncle right now he don't care nothing about no success hey remember when you used to be in the bed what so you won't say this in front of my kid

in front of my kid damn in front of my children you want to bring that up no I'm just saying boy I hope the boy I always wet I can't stand this man Ollie just dropped Domino Effect 3

Because I used to always say, you know, something enough people don't know me. I got to get up there to see DJ envy It wasn't really about you Charlemagne

It was his name right Because once he hit it with that This is a DJ It's all Everybody That's the point that you wait on It ain't even really the show If you don't hear that

Yeah The show just came on Hey I'm Charlemagne to God And it's just hilarious You're like What's it? They need the proper intro We need the proper intro

The only thing about the intro When we first started We hated it I was like why we got to keep saying our names Like I don't want to keep saying might, but our program director in time is like, you keep saying your name, it is stuck

him, it gets stuck him. And then Dennis Clark, the consultant. And then him and Dennis Clark said that, keep saying your name. But introducing yourself, even when he beefed with people, they'd be like mocking him, like, D, J, N. It's the whole rhythm of it, too. You got to say it like that. You can't just say, D.J. Invin. No, you got to say, this is DJ. But let me tell you,

the thing that makes me laugh, like uncontrollably comes from the breakfast club. I'm talking about me and the lady that living in that house. Man, let me tell you something. If I don't care, I'm mad. If that lady called me and say, yeah, this sweet John John, if y'all do that, what's the boy who couldn't say y'all name right?
