club got a special guest mr cory olcom what up sir one of the funniest people i know hey that's what's up coming from you man you know uh i just want to say to all of the girls all-star game in new york because i was here. The All-Star Game that I told I was going to help you get that buddy pass back to Florida. They didn't mail them. I just wanted to let them know. They listened to the show and they've been texting me. I know you're going to be over there.

I didn't get the buddy passes. They stuck. Yeah, they stuck. There's a lot of girls still stuck here waiting on them buddy passes. This is not a fun place to be stuck in this weather right now. That is cold. Corey, they call you the ghetto Dr. Phil, but then some people say you hard on these women. That's why Charlamagne said I should just be quiet. No, no.

I'm not hard on the women like people think. The confident women love me. It's the girls who grew up without daddies. They have issues with me. If you grew up without a father. My dad's around. Oh, your dad's around. You're not my type then

I was looking at her yesterday On the Wild It Out She cute You know what I mean But you got a dad in your life That means you know The stuff that you need to know And that's

I'm sure there's plenty Of great women out there With no fathers in their life Yes a few of them What are some of the differences Between girls with fathers And girls with no fathers Well you know

When you got a dad in your life You get to see The other side of the game. You get to see what it's like to grow up with a man as well as a woman. Got you. And there's just a lot of girls who really don't get a chance to be around a man until they start dating him. And, you know, a lot of times when you're dating, you know what we're after.

So they're so disappointed. And then by the time they're in their 30s, they got that mad look on their face. What about guys that grow up without their dad, though? They have issues, too. You know what I mean? But I don't date guys. They're on their own.

Yeah, I saw you going in on Steve Harvey, too. Yeah, Steve Harvey. I think I did one of a show where I didn't know I was on the air with him, and I didn't speak, and he got mad. And he was saying bad stuff about me. And, you know, I'll go. I like it. What show? Like a comedy show on the air with him and I didn't speak and he got mad. And he was saying bad stuff about me. You know, I'll go. I like it. Was the show like a comedy show on the radio?

One time when I was in Kentucky, the lady who was on the show with him, I didn't know I was patched in to those guys. So he was mad because I didn't speak to him. So he was talking to you and you weren't speaking back? No, I wouldn't do that. I'm not that way. He just felt as though I should have acknowledged him, but I was like, I didn't know you were on the air.

I didn't know I was on the air with them in that room. So he was mad, and he said something, and I could have been big and just been like, oh, hey, man, I didn't know you were on the air. But I was like, oh, okay. You want to go there. So we just went there. I'm not mad at Steve, honestly.

You think it's like a comedian thing? Like he feel like he the OG, He supposed to bow down? Thank you. You know what's happening. And I will give respect to those who deserve it. He's been around and he finds a way to stay relevant. But if you want to talk crazy, I do that. That's what I do. No bowing down.

Yeah, because my homeboy was one of the guys who was the friend to the barber that he used to have when he used to have that Afro cake. I was thinking about putting that Afro cake procedure on the internet just to show how he used to get his Afro cake done. Now, yesterday we did film Wildin' Out, and Remy Ma was there with us.

Yeah, yeah. She was talking about your pants to me. Yeah, I had on the snake or whatever, the weird looking pants. Some red Python print pants or something. I take chances with my outfits. I grew up from the weird looking pants. Some type of red python print pants or something. I take chances with my outfits. I grew up from the projects. Chicago. I shopped at Foot Locker, got the two for 20 sweats all the time.

Now I wear weirdo stuff. It also helps me with the girls who grew up without fathers. They're like, that's different. I never saw that before. What do you think about people like Steve Harvey when they write the books, like Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man? Well, from what I understand, he didn't write the book.

He bought the book off of somebody, and that's cool too. But, you know, the thing that everybody talks about, and I gotta talk about it too, is the 90 day thing. Ladies, don't do that. You're playing yourself.

That's how you get sick. That's how you get sick. That's how you get sick because when you decide to let him do it, he's going to do it. But I guarantee you he's going to be doing other things while he's waiting. While he's waiting on you. 90 days is not that long. Raises your chances of getting sick.

You're going to be coughing two days later. You could wait three months. I'm sure you've gone three months without having sex before. No, not in these times. Poverty keeps me in business. A lot of girls

are struggling and they need my assistance. I offer anywhere from $40 to $80 depending on your neighborhood. Oh, the value of a vagina is at an all-time low right now.

Yeah, right now. I mean, come on. I'm going to Brooklyn later on. You don't like Stephen A. Smith too much either. You say Stephen A. Smith is a misrepresentation of black people. Well, I don't. Charles Barkley. Yeah, you know, they got jobs that they get their checks from Massa.

That's what I call it. And they have to say things to try to make black people look bad because Stephen A. Smith got suspended when he was bold enough to say something about women. When he spoke from the heart on women. I think he said something about how women need to make sure you don't do nothing to put yourself in that position. Okay, bam, he was suspended. But he goes on air and he says a lot of stuff about black people. He never gets suspended for that.

So we're not represented. So he takes advantage of that and he goes in on us. It's like he was talking about Marshawn Lynch. And I didn't like that because the Super Bowl was fixed, ladies and gentlemen. We all saw it. If you watch football, if you know football, the Super Bowl was fixed. Marshawn Lynch was not

giving the ball and they did not show his face at the end of the game. Because they didn't want him to be the Super Bowl MVP. They can't have that guy with the dreads who don't conform to media as the Super Bowl MVP. You know what's happening. And I think we're conformed to believe, no, the world ain't that bad. But yes, what you saw happen, absolute power was witness. Marshawn Lynch was not giving the ball.

Now they call you the ghetto Dr. Phil. I just said that. There's a member. I'm referring to something. There's a member on the Breakfast Club that's lightening his skin. I'm not lightening my skin. I said it was you. You know it's not me because you said his.

I'm not lightening my skin. How do we deal with somebody that's bleaching skin? I am not bleaching my skin. Is that a danger? Hey, man, I'm not going in on this man. Y'all can't get out of here. I didn't say it was him. Hypothetically, if I was bleaching my skin, what would you say to me?

I would ask you why you're ashamed of your skin. I'm not, because I'm not bleaching it. I mean, I've seen people bleach their skin. I saw what Sammy Sosa did. I was like, wow, you just don't like your mom. You know what I mean? I think if you bleach your skin, that's some type of just don't like your mom. You know what I mean? I think if you bleach your skin, that's some type of frustration you had with your mom. Now, I got to ask you this.

I saw you posted a picture of, I think it was immature in bed, and you put foxhole. You know that picture of them in bed? Was it immature? Yeah, it was immature. It was the picture with all the little boys in bed together. And you said foxhole. And I said foxhole party. I joke about Jamie Foxx, but I actually like Jamie Foxx.

Did you get offended ever? You used to be on Foxx. Yeah, I used to be on the foxhole. And it ended a way I didn't really want it to end. Some people felt like y'all had a little issue. Yeah, and I always say on my Twitter, I do not dislike Jamie Foxx. I just go in sometimes. You know what I mean?

People go in on me. I get fat jokes done on me or whatever, but I don't care. Does anybody ever get super offended to the point where they just don't get you no more? I've seen girls walk out of your show. Yeah, I've seen couples walk out. It was this one dude. His girl walked out, and he

was trying to be strong. He was like, man, after about my third joke, I was like, hey man, you better go get your girl. Everybody was clapping. He just said, yeah, I'm gonna go get her. They broke up after that. How you gonna let...

People who are easily frustrated, sometimes when the comedy shows don't go the way they want them to go, they get mad. I seen this lady walk to the manager of the club

at the Improv in LA. She was literally crying because the comedian was doing a retarded joke. And she was like, my brother is retarded. And he was like, really? Do you think he knows your brother? I mean, the fact that your brother is retarded.

But what about people you know, like colleagues, other comics, do they ever get like, okay, that's not cool that you went there? Hey, people can say what they want to say about all kinds of people. I try to stay in my lane. I turn down TV jobs that probably will help me move up the ranks

in Hollywood faster if they don't display me in a way where I want to be displayed. I want to be this guy. That guy that I'm trying to be. That's what has to happen on film when I do it. Just like Wild N' Out. Nick Cannon, he knows I'm going to say something crazy.

You know what I'm saying? Right, but he's a confident guy so he lets me be myself. He has a lot of money. I love Black Jesus on there when you said you wasn't there

when your babies were born but when your pit bull puppies have babies, you gonna be there. You gonna be there for your bitch. Yeah, you know, it's my brand of comedy

and it's bold and in the beginning there were a lot of people who I know that were close to me saying, oh, you're taking it too far. But I just had a feeling it would all work out. That's why I'm able to live the lifestyle I live, and I'm able to turn down certain TV jobs because the people come see me.

You know, when I follow you on Twitter, I always wonder. I said, man, I wonder if certain things Corey say would get him blackballed. Because you're very outspoken against the homosexual community, against women. As a matter of fact, Charlamagne was doing something really gay before you walked in and he was like, stop, stop, stop. I was not doing nothing gay. Why are you talking about? This is important that I say this.

I did a joke on a guy, B. Scott, who was on the Foxhole. And he got mad and he called the people from GLAAD on me. Oh, you can forget it. No, I was talking to them. They. Oh, wow. You can forget it. No, I was talking to them. They were saying, Corey, I think you funny. They just told me, you cannot talk about hate, and you can't talk about maybe beating somebody up.

But if you got a joke, you can make a joke. So you know what I'm saying? It's like my cousin, he's flaming gay, and we go at it all the time. I'm smart enough. I've been given the information not to talk about people like, oh, I want to fight you or something like that. So that's how I get away with it. Have any executives ever said anything to you? Nah, man. You know, it's like most of the times they're either going to

deal with you or they're not. Has anybody gay ever tried to come on to you? No. But you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you get guys who are bold. I'm not going to lie. I'm going to say it on the air. When I shook Paul Mooney's hand the first time, he held my hand in that way.

I was like, get my hand back, man. What are you doing? No, not the little rub in there. It was that little squeeze I've given the girls I'm willing to offer the $40 or $80 to. You once said in an interview that men cheat more than women, but married women are better cheaters. I can agree with that. Well, I know men cheat more than women.

Women expect to get married, and then it's just you and them forever, and that's just not going to happen in this country, because men have an appetite to chase women, and when we have enough money to do it, it makes it a lot easier for us to chase women

and pay them enough for them to be quiet. Pay them to be quiet? Yeah, you can pay some girls to be quiet. That sounds very expensive to go through all that. Not really. The struggle is real out there in them streets. So have you ever been in a monogamous relationship? Of course I've been in a monogamous relationship.

Because one of the questions on here is, who hurt you, Corey? That's where the camera's at. It says, who hurt you, Corey Holcomb? I do hear that a lot. They be like, somebody hurt Corey. Because Corey be going in on the women so hard. Somebody hurt him. That's too predictable. Somebody hurt him. That's why he acts like that. You've been hurt. That's predictable. We've all been hurt before. Let's talk about it. In high school, my girlfriend, she was this African girl. Her name was Akashua. And she left me for the guy who pitches at Jackson State. Okay, that makes sense.

That was my first time ever really being shocked and hurt about a relationship. But we've all been through it, right? Did it make you hate women then? No, I love women. Why did it make you hate women? Women make the world go round. You know what I mean? Most of these jokes I come up with, I'm going to tell you something.

My wife helps me come up with this stuff. Really? A lot of people don't even know I'm married. My wife helps me come up with stuff because she's got that crazy type of personality too. She knows what this is. This is the hustle, baby. You got to go see Corey stand up. He had Caroline this weekend. I saw Corey stand up a couple times. One time Corey said to the crowd,

you know, they got that vaginal rejuvenation thing, you know what I'm saying? Make you snap back, you know, be the way it was before your uncle touched it. Yeah. That happens. A lot of people don't want to admit it. And then their mom's like,

my brother would not do that to you. But it happens. Now you're going to be at Caroline's this weekend. Yeah, I'm going to be at Caroline's this weekend. I want to let everybody know, you don't have to argue with your girlfriend this week in New York. Just bring her to the show.

Everything you want to say, I'm going to get it off your chest for you. Oh, nice. Is it good to bring your side chick to something like that? Please bring your side chick. She needs to know her place. I give a whole tutorial on how side chicks can move up in the game.

How do you feel about... How can a side chick move up in the game? Silence. All those questions and stuff that just might bring the other girl who ain't doing well financially ahead of you. Just got to be quiet and overlook stuff that you know you're not supposed to overlook. That's how you make it to wifey. Now, you was in the wedding ringer with Kevin Hart.

How do you feel about Kevin Hart's success? Because it seemed like every comic got something to say. Like Mike Gaps, Harry Spears. Well, Kevin Hart, that's my man. Kevin Hart took me on tour with him, and I never would expect him to let me go on tour with him because of our styles. He's so clean, you dirty. He said, Corey, I want you to go up there and tear it up before I go up there. So I have a

whole new respect for Kevin Hart even before because you know, we knew each other in LA. We used to play basketball. Did he cast you in the wedding ring? No, no, no. The guy, Will Packer did. The guy who makes those movies. Thank you Will Packer. That's Hollywood giving me a chance. You know what wedding ring? No, no, no. The guy, Will Packer did. The guy who makes those movies. Thank you, Will Packer.

That's Hollywood giving me a chance. You know what I mean? Did you hear what Aries Spears said? That Kev can't say he's one of the greats because he has so many writers. Kevin doesn't have a lot of writers. What is that? It's Kevin and Harry doing their thing. Let me tell you something.

I like Aries Spears too, but there's a lot of guys who's envious of Kevin, and that's what comes with success. There's a lot of guys on the radio who are envious of you guys, right? You know what I mean? When nobody's hating on you, that means you're not doing nothing. So you should be glad. I don't want nobody feeling sorry for me. Right.

You know what I'm saying? When everybody likes you, something is wrong. I agree. Competition is good. I love it. I don't get mad at guys who say something about me or whatever unless you're saying it to my face and it looks like we're getting ready to go there. Then I'm like,

oh, this is real. But all that stuff people say behind your back, hey, man, that's beautiful. Now, Wild N Out, a couple times, it looked like it was going to get a little real there yesterday. Those comedians were getting in each other's face. We just act like that, man. It'd be the battle rappers. Oh, you're talking about in the wild style of the air? Yeah, it was a little intense for that last one. It'd be the battle rappers. Oh, you're talking about in the wild style of the air?

Yeah, it was a little intense for that last one. But it was the last show and everybody was trying to get it in. But it's not going nowhere. That whole cast, there's no fighters on that cast.

Who do you think is a good representation of black people? I mean, you always point out the ones that aren't. Who do you think is a good one? Well, I always bring up

the fact that Minister Farrakhan saved my life after listening to what he had to say i realized i wasn't alone mentally in this world so i always give him you know his props but there's a lot of black representation um that doesn't get the the media exposure that they deserve so a lot of people i would bring up people wouldn't even know but guys like char Charles Barkley are always given opportunities to be on radio, on television because they will say something negative about their own. And I feel like the powers that be allow that.

Nobody's ever challenged them. I've never heard Charles Barkley or Stephen A. Smith talk about their issues with Caucasian people. But they will talk about their issues with black people. So, you know, get some guts, man, and say something else. It's predictable what you're doing. Now, you said you've been looking for the right project for television and you want to do something that represents you in the way that you feel is you. So what would that be?

Well, I've pitched a couple of sitcoms where, you know what I'm saying, I have a side chick on the show, but television isn't necessarily ready for somebody like me to do that. They'll have a show like Scandal. Right. You know what I mean? So they're easing it in. Or Be Mary Jane. Yeah, something like that.

You know what I'm saying, but my time is coming. But that's the man, though, Carter. That's the man making the black woman out to be hoes and side chicks. There's actually some truth to that, what you said. But I'm saying, like, television has a way of easing in to a certain level. But even on Power, he has a side chick. On who? Power, 50 shows.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, see, so that lets you know they're bringing it in. They're bringing it in a little bit. That might be a great time for your side. I've never been in a rush for my success because I eat. You know what I'm saying? I'm from nothing. So if I make anything, it's good to me.

So, you know, God has been good to me. I've never been in a rush with the entertainment industry. When I got to L.A., I was in L.A. 15 days. I had a deal at Fox Television. Wow. So they've always, you know, been interested in me. days, I had a deal at Fox Television. So they've always been interested in me. It's just finding a lane for me. That's why

I'm not really knocking the industry. I understand it's television. You're not going to have a guy like me on television saying what I will say if I'm allowed to say it. But if they can find a lane for me, I believe my time is coming. That comic grind is crazy though because there's so many comics I know go to LA, they'll get these deals. It's like, yeah, I got a deal with Fox. I got a deal with NBC. That comic grind is crazy, though, because there's so many comics I know go to L.A. They all get these deals.

It's like, yeah, I got a deal with Fox. I got a deal with NBC. I'm like, but nothing happens. Yeah. Well, television is very difficult. You can get a television deal, but to actually get that show on the air is very difficult. That's why movies are better, because when you get a movie greenlit, you have a good chance of the movie making it to the theaters.

Just because you got a television show, you can even shoot the television show. I'm sure you know about this. People have actually shot their show and it never see the air. It's the politics of the game, man, but it's all fair. Well, we'll come see you this weekend at Caroline's. Oh, actually, I'm going to be here this weekend. What's the times? Do you know the times? I don't know the times, but I know I'm

going to be here. You can go to carolines.com because it's all on there. Go to carolines.com, get your tickets, check out the time, February 19th through the 22nd. Also, Wildin' Out this summer. We appreciate you joining us. Yeah, make your girl reevaluate her life by taking her to a Corey Holcomb show. That's what's up. This is big for me.

I've always wanted to be on y'all's show. Really? So I'm finally here. I appreciate it. Even though you canceled? No, I didn't cancel. I had to fill. And to my baby mama, I told y'all I was going to fill.

That's why you're still struggling. Go ahead. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Cory Holcomb. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets.
