Starting point is 00:02:33 Welcome, brother. Good morning. How's good? How you feel? Thank y'all for having me back. I'm good, man. Got a tour. He said, In the Shadows tour kicks off August 22nd in Atlantic City.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yep, we back on it. You know, I took six weeks off and now I'm coming back. So, yeah. How much do you write, Ali? Oh, my God. Man, every other day. It got to be, right? Yeah, every other day.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Because I was watching two sons. Two Sundays is an hour and 20. minutes long yeah that that was that's the easy part by my family because i i know them you know i don't have to really write nothing with that i just have to structure it you know how i'm gonna say it and then you know rugged was a little bit more um you know program that i had to really write out rugged to know which stories i was going to say and how i was going to say them in the time like i try to write everything in chronological order yeah so you know that's the that's the and that's the hard If I forget a story, then I got to go back.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Now, it's like, this, nigga, lying. Because it don't match the timeline. So when you go out on the In the Shadows store, how much of that material do you use? Are you just leave all of that on YouTube and you just got something brand new? So In the Shadows now is the new specials that I'm shooting in February in D.C.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Okay. I'm gonna shoot three new specials in February and D.C. I just shot three in Detroit. in October so we got five specials in the can that we can drop that much material yeah yeah yeah so you feel like breaking down the business I just want to know how that translates in the dollar oh it's like how many like the whole program you need the whole program so how much money you made so how a special translates from okay so let me start with this I'm always insulted when somebody
Starting point is 00:04:27 They say they saw me on Netflix, because I'm like, no, you did not see me on Netflix. You saw me on YouTube because I'm an independent. So what happens is I shoot the special, so I get paid for doing it, because I only shoot when I'm on tour. So I shoot in the places that I'm performing. I'm not, oh, let me pick someday and shoot somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I'm doing the special, because I'm ready, when I got to Detroit, I was ready for the three specials. So we sold out the three shows that we did. So we do two shows for each special. So that's six paydays just to shoot it. So then after I shoot it, I premiere it on a different platform for my immediate fans. So now that I'm at a million followers on YouTube, that's a million people that have the possibility of going to the platform
Starting point is 00:05:18 that I put it on to premiere before anybody else sees it. So it could be any platform. Yeah, yeah. But we do moment. Okay. Yeah, so then after two months, because I wait two or three months before I put it on YouTube for free. So now that translates into commercial dollars. So people pay for watching on the moment?
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yes. Okay, that's subscribers. Yeah, that subscribers. Yeah, that's subscribers. Yeah. And then you do it for commercials. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 But, so you shoot, you said you shot four specials in the last couple of months? Um, three. In the last three months, when do you get time to, do you have to practice your material? Like, most comedians were like, let me try this out first. And you got to live life. too yeah the thing is you I'm on the road it's a hundred city tour so I'm gonna take the first 30 cities and work the stories and then by the time I get the city number 40 that's when we're shooting I'm gonna work all these two we got 44 dates 44 theaters
Starting point is 00:06:14 after you know I do Albany on Wednesday because I um when you take when you take time off you have to go to the minor leagues first you know to come back come back because I've been I was how my stories line up was kind of awful a little bit I was forgetting major parts of the story I'm like wow I wasn't supposed to say that yet and people can't go and then I had to start saying so I'm like let me hey it's a part that I forgot to tell you but it works because I tell stories so it's
Starting point is 00:06:47 I'm so connected to my audience that they wait for it you know like And it's a very special thing that I really think is cool because you know I transitioned after what I've been doing standing up 28 years in December
Starting point is 00:07:05 it'll be 28 years in December so how I used to be when I look back at how I've gotten to this point you know is crazy because now I'm re-can I'm going into how I got to this point now in the new specials
Starting point is 00:07:21 how I even started because people will say somebody wrote years ago that I started in prison and I try to and I keep trying to clean this up I did not start in prison there's no comedy clubs that's not what the paper saying
Starting point is 00:07:33 most people work out in prison but you did comedy somebody I don't know who wrote that initially and it's been sticking so every time I get to interview so you started in prison man there's no comedy club between the child hall and the wreckyard
Starting point is 00:07:51 well I'm like yo everybody coming here I'm gonna get it done No, it was more like I, the first two years, I was wilding. I give it that. I was, I was on prison time. You're trying to survive. It wasn't even surviving. But what was violent in prison?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Oh, man. Okay, so they used to have this, they used to have a mop bucket with the handle. Me and probably some other people are the reason they took the handle off. What were you doing? So the Mexicans would cut the handle off and turn it into knives. I got into it with a dude and I dropped him and then I went to the third floor
Starting point is 00:08:29 I was so mad I was wild I went to the third floor and I filled the mop bucket up with water and I dropped it down on him damn, you know what was that? No, the bucket for the water
Starting point is 00:08:42 I dropped the bucket and everything on and to do that you got to have a handle doing it like this is a little awkward but yeah I was on one I was, I was. And the man survived. Yeah, what happened is it?
Starting point is 00:08:56 For you to do that? Man. Nothing. If you say you stole your chips or something, I'm like, damn, Alie. I had a problem with people talking reckless. Like, that's why I didn't play dominoes. Because, see, people lose their mouth in dominoes. So we play.
Starting point is 00:09:11 And I told him, I said, hey, man, I don't want to play, because y'all don't know how to talk right. Man, no, we ain't gonna say nothing. So then we're playing dominoes. And I called 10. And then the next thing I know, ah, 10 inches in you. And then I just got to worry about it. Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Don't even worry about it. This is what I said. I said, I don't do this. And I just, man, I lost it. And people knew, people are like, oh, boy, you about to. You might want to go put your boots on because this little boy is a wild man. And I figured out, see, see how you laugh?
Starting point is 00:09:48 See, I can't take all that. And the thing is, I can't take all that. And the thing is, I I figured out that most people can't fight hand to hand. I've been boxing since I was six. So I was like, yo, it don't matter how big y'all. I ain't got a weight class, you know what I'm saying? It's like, if you're trying to do something, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But in there, you have to check somebody chin, you know what I'm saying, about everything. And it just came too much for me. So about two years in his old head told me, he said, yo, man, you can't keep living like this. because I was like, yo, I would be on that basketball court and this is where I say 85% of my fights start on that court, I'm saying, get undercutted, I'm doing you dirty on that court and all of a sudden your mouth went crazy
Starting point is 00:10:38 and I just, all right, no, no, I'm waiting. I'm like, as soon as we get back to this block, it's on. And I just bust you in your head. Dang. And, oh, man, a can of tuna and a pair of socks, You can get the work done. Put the tune in the socks. How old were you?
Starting point is 00:10:54 19 when I went. Oh, you were young. Yeah, you were young. Yeah, so 19, four days after I turned 19, I was gone. We used to do that with locks in high school. Put the lock, put the lock in the socks. No, you put your lock on your belt. You did that on the loop of your belt.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah, you get, the swing is pretty good, too, though. You got to wrap it, the swing is pretty good. So when you got home, all those people that you beat up in jail, you beat up in jail they never came back at you never seen them at their shows but like remember me I'm the one that you man you know it's wild it's more dudes that I beat up in high school that be on one than anything I was just and I and at this function I had I'm gonna say this publicly because I always say if you if you disrespect somebody loud you gotta you gotta you gotta apologize you gotta apologize loud right yeah

Starting point is 00:19:12 You ain't hit a technique and all. I'm like, yeah, I don't know shit about that. I like, I want to look south side, south side, yeah. Talk this about this applied advice pamphlet, man. Man, man, don't call my. You know, I see what he did. I called him for publishing. I called him for publisher.
Starting point is 00:19:35 I put you on your mail. Man, these people ain't hit me back of nothing. I emailed him. This don't look like a black publishing. And he, like, look at it, look at the other book he published. Yeah, hard. I could have did it in hard back myself. Why you ain't doing his, like, I want to.
Starting point is 00:19:47 They ain't never hit you back. Hold on. Now, ain't no damn, hold on. Now, no, hit me back. So now we said a pamphlet. It's 86-page pamphlet. I'm the best cold-bloody. He said, yeah, tell me about this pamphlet.
Starting point is 00:20:02 There's a whole, there's a whole book with a skewed number and everything. I'm like, saying they got a part of old. And then. We got a table of contact. You're wild to sell. Tell us about your, man. I don't want to say nothing now. This is a book with a screen on.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Tell me about your bro, sure. It's printed in the United States of America. Yeah, it definitely printed. United States of America. That's cold. I love this. What is it? So it's a plot of advice.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yeah, it's the, you know, people always ask me, Ali, how did you get from point A to point B? And I say, well, these are the 13. team people that I listen to their advice you know a lot of times people give you or ask for advice and they never use it they get mad at you when something don't work out like what I'll try to tell you you what I'm saying so my mom you know she's in there my mom my dad's in there Dick Gregory Bruce Bruce Bruce yeah Rob Stapleton Rob Stapleton is that Rob Stapleton is a huge reason
Starting point is 00:21:10 You know, I remember when Rob Stapleton called me out of nowhere. It's like one of them calls you just get it. It's maybe 06. Rob Stapleton calls, you're like, yo, you got to get out them Chitlin Circuit Room. I said, what? You know, but I'm making pretty good money in these Chiltern Circuit Room. He said, brother, it don't matter. You are too talented to just be in those Chitlin Circuit rooms.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You should go to the mainstream room. You say, now you're going to have to take a pay cut. You're going to have to take a huge pay cut, but it's going to work out for you. Two weeks later, Malik S. calls me, and D.L. wants a host at the Houston Improv, which I headlined this club before, for a one-nighter. I'm like, I go back as the host. I'm like, man, what they're paying? He's like $50. What?
Starting point is 00:22:06 I said per show. And he's like, yeah. So, and I'm thinking, man, I make way more money than that. And then Rob, Fableton, popping my head. So then I take the gig, D.L. I do the show with D.L. Then he asked me, yo, what you got next week? I said, I'm chilling.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I ain't got nothing. So he takes me to Austin. It's probably for white, it's probably for black people in the whole building. It was saying. And three of them in the green room, me, D.L. and Derek Kina and one guy that's a waiter do that show
Starting point is 00:22:45 with him I do off and on with DL for 2006, 2007 DL becomes a host of Def Jam in 2008 I'm on the show I'm the season finale you know what I remember
Starting point is 00:22:59 because it was a season finale The Wire and Death Jam at the same time then I just the clubs I'm in the clubs and I'm doing an hour in front of DL
Starting point is 00:23:11 and DL coming to an hour of 10 is just two-man shows after that so it's like the training and being with DL taught me how to be very classy in my approach to how I dealt with the GMs, how I dealt with the managers how I dealt with the waitstaff
Starting point is 00:23:28 because when you think about it the clubs promote from within so that that waitress that you miss mistreated now she's the manager of the club that's real you know what I'm saying or like the like the big shout out to Raymond Cook he is he runs all of the improvs in Texas raymond was a server when I came to the improv but now he's the head guy you know they want they want you to know the ends and outs of the whole entire business so people go there and they some comics go
Starting point is 00:24:04 and they mistreat these people I'm saying and don't know what there'll be six years down the road or five years down the road and young comics man that's on the road with other people they didn't start becoming elitist because they're thinking that who you're featuring
Starting point is 00:24:22 for that's not you you know what I hear these young comics oh man you in clubs you know how much bread you can make in the club you must say because you've never headlined the club so you don't know what the check look like You know, when I came to Baltimore Comedy Factory, we did eight sold out shows.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Crazy. That check was so crazy. And I was like, yeah, I don't want to do no theater in Baltimore. I'm good. And dude's like, yo, you can do this every time. I said, every time. I don't realize how much money comedians make in them clubs. And don't realize how well comedians are living.
Starting point is 00:25:07 like they y'all be bawling yeah we yeah we yes it's some people that you know then came to the crib and they're like so this this this this is you i was like i got like six of these like you like you got six properties yeah i can stay all over houston yeah this is this your car yeah this is what this what we doing and like yo but i've been rich a long time i've been rich like twice you know it Legally and legally, you know, just legally just I just sleep better, you know, so you know, I, when people be, I listen to people on the internet and people be talking fly, I'm like, okay, just put your bread up versus, you know, my bread. I'm talking about liquid. I ain't talking about no, and then my stocks and bonds are the other thing, but you're talking about liquid, we can put that on the table. Yeah, and that's what's so funny because if you flip it, right, you got probably comedians who do a lot of stuff online that people will think because they're getting all the stuff. attention they got the bread but it's actually the other way around it's the comedians that are constantly working in them clubs that's actually making the
Starting point is 00:26:15 money yeah that then working period you know is you can be a right on a show and be doing well and a comic that's in the club is still doing better than you yeah and then when you when that show is over now you're trying to find work and the guy who's been on the road is still making a check you know even when I'm practicing My bag is crazy even when I'm practicing. Before I get it, like I did, what, five weeks, all of August in the, this first part of August, all in the clubs. Now, the theater, I'm back, I'm at the Tropicana on Friday.
Starting point is 00:26:54 We've been sold out for, what, three weeks before I even got there. They said, you want to do another show? I'm like, nah, I'm cool. I don't want to go home. I've been on the road for nine days. But when I'm, all my checks in my backpack, I don't cash my money until I get home because I want to go to my private banker
Starting point is 00:27:10 I want to walk in and watch them people be this type of stuff I get off on that people be sitting in that waiting for people but I just walk in and lady just like and I'm like, oh how long do I've been in here? That's my that's the only thing that I make me happy as small, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:29 luxuries. I don't need nothing. I don't need nothing big. I'm saying, but I love that. Holly, what made you become a comedian? man this is what I think that I was good and I think that um me wanting people to be happy and and learn from stuff that I was saying was kind of my my push because when people say I started in prison I was on closed custody they made me the SSI on closed custody and they had no TV and so when I was working over there these boys been locked they lock up 23 hours a day.
Starting point is 00:28:07 You know what I'm saying? They get out just to shower and they've been back there a long time and it started with me just wanting them to have their food hot. You know, they would bring this food and it would be cold and I always knew
Starting point is 00:28:20 this is why they be over here tripping because y'all don't give them no clean clothes and because the difference with clean clothes in the prisons like this. So I, because I'm not on close country I have the ability to go in there and lobby for some brand new ones with
Starting point is 00:28:35 And this is when I knew I was never going back to prison because all your underwear is in the warehouse, you know, they wash them all together. So then you get out of the shower, they just throw you underwear and several people did wore these underwear. You know what I'm saying? So you get some new ones straight out of the box.
Starting point is 00:28:53 They will never see the laundry again. You keep them and you wash them out yourself. So they was giving these dudes the worst underwear because I had to pass out all their stuff. I'm like, yo, I'd be like, yo, oh, no, somebody that blew the satchel off these. Wow, I'm saying, yo, who knew some lodgers? But so I would, I went to the laundry. I'm like, yo, man, let me get a box for them clean underwear, man, for these dudes.
Starting point is 00:29:24 You know what I'm saying? Let me make sure they food hot. Because what y'all not going to do is throw defecation on me like you was doing the rest of the dude. and they was only doing that because they was getting mistreated. So I started letting them read the paper because I would read the paper every day. Let them read the paper. Then I started telling them what was going on in the unit
Starting point is 00:29:44 and since they had no TV, this is my contribution. I would watch Martin so intense because I was going to go back and re-act the whole episode for them because they ain't had no TV. So after Martin went off I didn't have nothing to give them.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So I just started doing commentary about what was going on in the rest of the prison. They're broke on stick and be like, yo, it's all three runs and they're on the bar. What else happened?
Starting point is 00:30:16 And so... So you did start comedy in prison. That's where the story comes from. That's where it was that. But that's not starting... I started just joking comedy cafe. That wasn't... This is me just telling stories.
Starting point is 00:30:28 But I was very... Man, that's you doing comedy. Comedy. Your whole style of storytelling, you're not a punchline person. Right. You just storytell. Yeah, I just, you know, reenact the situation. But the...
Starting point is 00:30:44 They just hit all in like, damn, I did start doing that. He probably, that wasn't getting paid for the shit, so it wasn't comedy then. Yeah, you weren't getting no check, you know? So, um, the other thing about that, so people would say that I was funny because I would stop a lot of altercation. Like, after the first two years of me, Wilden, my whole mindset, was now if you want to get beat up don't go to school and everybody knew that it's about me hey I'm gonna come to you hey bro you wish what your education looking like because if you stay in here and you just doing prison stuff when you get in the world you're gonna be back
Starting point is 00:31:20 so you might want to get a GD you might want to get the trade or something because if you don't everybody else on this block goes to school to do a trade you're gonna be stealing you're gonna be still out of people lock them I want you to get killed bro and go to school and if you don't right you know you know there's a fight going to come with this and you he's not going to fight me you're going to fight Mitch you're going to fight Brian and everybody like yeah bro we go to school over here and this is the this is the mandate when we was on tour region you had to go to school because if you didn't your your mind is going to drift into something crazy but when people tried to fight
Starting point is 00:32:03 I would just rationing, just come over. I'm like, hey, y'all, y'all about to fight. I'll leave, man, what you want? I say, bro, I'm just, can I ask a question? Damn, y'all, I'm so high-style. So I just want to ask, okay, y'all about to fight. Which one of y'all are willing to lose this fight twice? What the hell are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:32:22 I said, because one of y'all going to win, one of y'all for sure. And then the COs are going to come in and beat the shit out of both y'all. So who want to lose twice? people start laughing then they start thinking about it like yeah that's what's going to happen like you unless it's something major bro it it's not worth it because them COs man you know it's I always think about it like this you know on um on Bugs Bunny when he would hit that dude on the head he asked you how many lumps you want one or two they're going to give you six that stick that stick and them choking you out and all that and I just be sitting there look
Starting point is 00:33:00 look at you now look at you getting choked Now, I told you over there, you ain't had to get all that. You ain't had to get drug. You're looking bad, fam. And when they bring you back, you're like, look at your head. And I ain't going to ease up. I'm like, look at your head. But now, see, I warned you.
Starting point is 00:33:17 So you went from the one whaling to teaching, the wilders, not to while out, right? And then you also seemed like you did a lot of, like, mental work on yourself as well. Like, what makes you angry now? Like, does anything make you mean? Oh, man, this is where the wilders. work really happened. DJ Scratch playing East Coast.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Anya. After that, years later, right now. DJ Scratch, that was, I was just wow. But this is what makes me
Starting point is 00:33:43 upset now that I'm trapped in this prison of always having to let sucker dudes make it. You know, it's always,
Starting point is 00:33:56 I'll leave you better than that, but that's the, that's the problem why dudes keep being suckers. because they always somebody always talking somebody down from you know putting hands on so in incarcerated you got you can't say nothing false about somebody and not have to see you can't be running your face and then not have to see that person yeah and you can't it's like it's um people in this society don't understand consequences so you can say whatever you want to say and be disrespectful on that internet and be disrespectful interviews and do all the rest of that but you you what I call talking from a safe space if you're talking with a crew you talking on the internet or you
Starting point is 00:34:42 talking out of town I'm saying anything I've ever said I just said straight up to a person I'm saying and if you want to see it bro I'm I'm not willing to lose no no scuffles so in this and it's whatever we can and we can do it in the ring or we can do we can do it somewhere control but I'm in this prison where I have to keep letting people make it so when people say something crazy it's a lot of it's a lot of talk that happens with me with people and I respect man big up to DL and David Banner because it's it's a lot of dray it's a lot of talk that has to happen with me because just it just irritates me that people can just say something so crazy
Starting point is 00:35:31 And then people start being on their side without no facts. And you're like, and I can say I'm cool, but I don't see you. Then when I see you, I don't think you know what on site mean. And I don't think that you, these dudes that be talking, Dick Gregory in their book told me this. You know, man, these people, you're going, bro, you're going to make it if you're, can control your attitude because it is these are industry people that's playing something I was this in the 80s you know saying I was a I was a vulnerable opponent in the 80s then when I got busted in the early 90s this I was
Starting point is 00:36:22 already in the streets be way before New Jack City a movie didn't make me be in the streets so and what I did inside But, man, I really, I really got to pray for people and cry for people because I'm like, yo, man, what I do to you, you, like, you don't really, you don't really understand because I've already done it. Like, I'm not, I'm not playing with you and you don't have, like, and this is on my children. You really don't have enough people to stop me from doing something to you. you really i don't care nothing about your security bro i don't care nothing about none of that
Starting point is 00:37:04 but what has to keep me together is me i have to i have my children have to come into my head it's been one time i let somebody puppeteer me to so much violence that i was going to do something this whole family and it wasn't no secret like they see me and I'm telling them yo listen yo people started this with me and I'm by myself I'm not coming with

Starting point is 00:41:17 A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was. salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like,

Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When somebody can spin the narrative from what the actual problem was,
Starting point is 00:42:25 This ain't about me knowing you or you knowing me. This ain't about that. It's about you challenge somebody to something, and then I challenge you to the same million dollar boxing match. It's in the ring. Well, and then you go on Willie Dee. I thought he was a celebrity I would give him the match. Damn, the celebrity, I got the bread.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Because guess what? You can hide behind all of that. Who knew who Buster Douglas was when he fought Mike Tyson? I didn't. No. Who knew who wrote you? was when he got ready to fight tank. I knew Roach.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I didn't know Roach. Matt, we're talking about it's tank, though. Everybody's not on the same level in boxing. But if you, if you, somebody called you out, it is what it is. I'm lying. I didn't know Roach.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I didn't know. I didn't like, I believe Evie, because he was like, no, I knew Roachin. I did. Lightskin on, I know. I know he knew. I watched Boxing, but I didn't know who Roach. I, I avidly watched boxing and didn't know who Roach was.
Starting point is 00:43:25 But then I'm like, oh, I went back in his career. Like, I didn't know who Wilder was because he hadn't fought, nobody died. Oh, God, I knew who Wilder was. When you talking about back in the, what are you talking about? When Wilder first jumped on the scene, I didn't know who he was because he hadn't fought nobody that I even was paying attention to until he got to. Until he got to, who is he knocking out? I mean, a bunch of nobody, but at the time, the heavyweight division really didn't have nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And he was like a, you know, loud from Alabama with a bomb squad. I paid, I paid a lot of attention. I just know him because. I knew him from, to this day. I remember that to this day, that's how I know. And that was later. But when I saw Wild, I was like, oh, he gonna lose to this, to this boy
Starting point is 00:44:07 because of the, of the lineage. Because Emmanuel Stewart, so, Emmanuel Stewart was training him, then Emmanuel Stewart's son starts trying. I'm saying, now he ain't gonna be Fury. Because Fury going to know how to buy. And anybody know about Emmanuel Stewart, all boxers, all heavyweight
Starting point is 00:44:25 It's over six foot, a manual steward has trained, and they have become champions. Now, Wilde had a chance to train with manual steward, but I guess whatever didn't work out, and then I looked at his legs. I'm like, there was some little legs. And boxing is in the feet. Boxing is in the feet.
Starting point is 00:44:45 So it's kind of like when dudes was locked up. If a dude hit you with his best shot and you don't drop, he knows he's in trouble after that. I didn't hit you with everything I had. And you ain't, I remember this dude stole me. I was looking this way. I turned around, pow, I'm like, is that what you did? And then he started running.
Starting point is 00:45:07 And I'm like, and I had the jump rope. And I went right around his neck. And then, man, them, them COs when it came, it had been bad for him. But you, because you stole me. And as soon as you steal me, I already know you're scared. If you come with somebody else, I know you're scared. And that's from my grandmother. And I got into some dudes, eight dudes.
Starting point is 00:45:26 And my grandmother said, well, go back out there because they're scared. It's only you. Now, she was halfway right. Three of them wasn't scared at all. Three of them was ready about that business. Whenever you got a problem with a person, you approach that person and you pull them to the side
Starting point is 00:45:42 and you have a conversation. You walk up on him with a bunch of people. He knows that you really ain't serious. Yeah, because I don't walk up on nobody in a bunch of people. I'm like, yo, you know, I'll let you make. And I ain't going to make no scene And none of that I'm like hey bro
Starting point is 00:45:57 Listen you said something that was out of pocket And then this is the other thing is When other people jump on the bandwagon About clout Cloud What I need How does that even equate to clout? It don't even equate
Starting point is 00:46:18 Like it's no dollars that come from That it's nobody going to Oh, let me go see him now that they got it. No. But so you forget how long I've been doing it. So why would I need? And I'm talking about, and when I hear veterans saying things, I'm like, oh, so you jealous of what's happening right now.
Starting point is 00:46:37 So now you try to pick a side in order to get clout. You know how crazy it is for somebody who always report about what other people are doing to talk about somebody else trying to get clout? So you trying to get clout. That's what you do, right? That's what you do on the radio. Right? That's what you do on whatever you're doing it on. But it's a funny, it's a funny thing, especially when you know in your head the truth.
Starting point is 00:47:01 But on my two sons, you start off the special by talking about how you don't want to fight no more at 50. Yeah, but that's a, that's on the special. I don't want, I don't want, I didn't want to fight my son. I didn't want to fight my son. That's on the special. That's different, you know, but, yeah, my two sons, my, yeah, but, you know, my, my hand, you know, I don't, I don't want to fight nobody, though. I really don't, yeah. And then, but I don't want, I don't want to be, I have, I have trouble with people lying on me, though, because, and people are like, well, that's, why is it so important? I said, because it is, because of this. Emmett Till happened because of a lie.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of things happen because of one lie. Propaganda is one of the biggest things that happened to black life. Slavery was one thing, but the propaganda of what was sold about us after that is the most crippling thing. Yeah, they made the whole movie called Birth of a Nation came out in 1915, and a lot of the negative stereotypes that, you know, that were put on black people were because of that film, a fucking film called The Birth of a Nation.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Came out in 1915, I believe it was. And they made us, the whole stereotypes about fried chicken, everything, came from that film. Damn. But I guess I do have one question. You know, you say you don't want to talk about it much. What has the conversation that Kat Williams has having done to you because you're still successful in booking all the shows and making all the money? So, like, what does him clearing up anything do for you?
Starting point is 00:48:43 It's not about him clearing up. It's about the lie that's being told on you. You know, it don't. work for me that's about the opening of the show versus like how that happened will you being on the show on what show so there wasn't the conversation that you do you had a contract with the club which is how you were open that see did see you saying that's the that's the lie you're saying i don't even know the story so the story that's the lie yeah so the story that from what he said and what i read was that he was saying
Starting point is 00:49:14 that you only opened up for him because you had a contract with the club not because it was something that was a part orchestrated within the show then why and that that's And watch this, nobody is small enough to say, well, why would he have to pay him then if I had a contract with the club, with the venue? Why would he have to pay me? If you already, if he already came.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Because you said that he paid you, but you didn't cash a check. Never cashed a check. But why would he have to give me a check if I have a contract with the venue? I've never had a contract with no venue to open up. That's why you would never find another comic that said, oh, he opened up for me
Starting point is 00:49:46 at the Relyan arena. I've never even opened up for nobody there. So the lie is he had a contract with the venue. That's why he was there. At first, I wasn't on the other version. I wouldn't even on the show. So now I'm on the show. But it's because of this.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Then the lie is I walked into the green room and told his whole crew, I'm doing 30 minutes and none of y'all can follow me. You're talking about a nigga who don't even talk to nobody at the shows. And who are the five people? Now you've got to get your crew to lie to still be a part of your crew
Starting point is 00:50:24 to say who are the five people. Ashima Franklin ain't going to say that. She ain't going to say that because that's a lie. Which what is your problem? Which one is the problem? At first you didn't know me. Now I got a contract with the venue. What do you get that from?
Starting point is 00:50:40 You're just pulling shit out your ass to try to make yourself look better because you don't want that ass that I asked you what because I don't even understand then you said you put me out the club you didn't put me out of shit I walked out to get my my partner in and they wouldn't let me back in but I performed for two nights that's the confusing part but if I if I had a contract with the venue wouldn't the venue pay me and let you back in and let me back in why would I be they say Ralph
Starting point is 00:51:14 come open this door Did you really not cashed the check cat gave you that? Man, thought through that shit in the trash. How much was $15? That was a lot of money. Imagine Stimmy. It wasn't a lot of money for me. I was only there because I was asked to be there.
Starting point is 00:51:32 If I wasn't asked to be there, I wouldn't have never came there. Oh, and the other part of the story was I came there and I was looking to perform. They were looking to perform. And here's the, why would I be looking to perform? not when that was this and then what's crazy is he's saying it as if this is modern day this is in 2014 15 before you had all the crew with you then we don't know each other right it's not even about us not knowing each other but if people go back to prayer view A&M university damn there 2000 what four or five it's
Starting point is 00:52:18 me, Cat, and Alex Thomas performing there. Thousand kids with pictures. Before that, we in Shreveport. Like, I don't even understand what it. And prior to that, when your name was Cat in the Hat, I booked you and Rodney Perry at my comedy spot because I heard that you wasn't doing that well. And then I reached out.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Sharon Baldwin or tell anybody, he faxed me his headshot. You know what a faxed headshot look like? It's just like a blurred copy of you, a nigga with a hat, a top hat on, and it came. He faxed it. What do you hear was this show? Look at the early 2000. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And I never told the story because I couldn't remember who the other comic was. And me and Rodney Perry end up talking, and Rodney's like, man, I don't even understand this because it was me, you, and I said, what you talking about, Ronnie? He said, yeah, you booked us. at this spot called Cloud 9 you was doing this thing called Uptown Saturday night
Starting point is 00:53:22 I said god damn Rodney Perry you were the other comic so I didn't even understand I'm confused I don't even know where it started like where did it start from it started from the the boxing match it started from me
Starting point is 00:53:38 accepted if you challenge Kevin to a boxing match somebody who is doing whatever he's doing he can got time for you why don't you let me get that match for that million dollars because I got time and I want to saw this shit
Starting point is 00:53:55 that happened at the Houston on Rillian Arena. Oh, this is what you said on Shay-Shay? This is what I said on Shays-Shay. This is what I said. Because my story ain't changed since it happened. But it was the show
Starting point is 00:54:06 and then it was the Boxing Match conversation. No, it was the boxing match first. Oh, I thought the boxing match happened after. Okay. And then it's all this ridiculous is about this show. I'm like, He said that on
Starting point is 00:54:19 Carmelo and Camero show Yeah, but he was on Willie D first with a whole other story I ain't gonna lie I ain't gonna watch you either bro Why would I want to fight you? Didn't Shane and put y'all on the phone together? No
Starting point is 00:54:31 He offered to though, right? Yeah, and he goes And I want to be there because I don't trust you. I said, man, you can trust me I'm not going to I'm not I just want to see what it is though
Starting point is 00:54:42 because now and now you didn't say something way out of pocket and I'm like, oh okay I say so and then you said what do you say on site mean on site nigga stop it
Starting point is 00:54:54 I don't want to say you're like stop it it's like your brother stop it and like yo man at my worst at my worst like man bro you don't
Starting point is 00:55:07 this is I'm with I'm with whatever the ring or the street but I would prefer in that ring you can't beat them in a race though shit up, man.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Hey, yeah. Man, I don't be that by this thing big shoes on. That fast and shit, I mean, you got to be when you run for the, niggas, you got to be. I was looking at this
Starting point is 00:55:28 Netflix thing you posted. It said, what we watched the Netflix engagement report, I thought this was dope. From December, 2012, to June, 2025, if your specials were on Netflix,
Starting point is 00:55:39 you would have three of them in the top nine of the specials that they put out from December, 224 to June, 2025. That's impressive. Those are Netflix. Those are Netflix numbers, right? So Netflix? I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I
Starting point is 00:55:52 saw you posted, but it's from Netflix. Yeah, Netflix that's Netflix numbers. This, and this is what, this is what, this is what, this is where, where people are talking about cloud and the rest of this. I've put out a special every year that the, the, the opposition has put out a special too. Those are Netflix numbers. It's a, it's a special that's not on there.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Hmm. Somebody's special not on there in viewership. Who's special missing? It's not a special that's on there. I'm just no cap, no flex, nothing. I know one thing in viewership, it's not a special that's not on there. Was that the same time, no?
Starting point is 00:56:26 When they can come out? At the exact same time. It's a special that ain't on there. Be fair, Ali, this is from December, 2014 to June, 2025. Cat came out. The week after mine. The week before mine. The week before.
Starting point is 00:56:42 It did. The cat came out in April. The IMDB is saying April 9th, 2024. Yeah, so he wouldn't be on it. I'm just telling you, it came out in April. This is from December 24 to June, 2025. Kat came out April the last year. What you want?
Starting point is 00:57:03 You ain't got to look at me like you look at scratch? You do know I dropped the special in 2024. He dropped specials. I dropped two specials in 24. Every year. I'm saying, the three that you dropped are all from 20, 25, though. That's the 25 list. The 24 list stays the same thing.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Oh, I see the 20, hold on. Let me look at 24th. It's, it's May 4th, 2020. Yeah, when I'm looking at it from December 24th, June, 2025. Yeah, you know, what came out of May? Domino effect, Domino effect, three. But that ain't what I bought that up.

Yeah. This is all I know, I ain't doing no chicken shacks. Somebody said, I'm in the chicken shacks. You know, it said, Jess, I don't even talk about it.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Give him no pressure. I know. Yeah. Hold on, this is big, though. Your specials outperforms 99% of all Netflix specials. Wow. That's big, man. That's huge.
Starting point is 00:58:00 And my two sons is in the top five. That's right. And rugged is right behind. And then the one, the one I produced, Marcus Duwale is nine. That's big, bro. And I produced that. Completely independent. And completely independent.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I know a lot of times people, people this is one thing about black people they always say you need to be independent you need to be independent but want you to be white endorsed that's the other part about it they want you to be indoors unless you with a major like I don't have an agent you know I don't handle I'm not signed to an agency you know so I just have my manager my role manager me you know in my my um publicity team and then my production crew that I work with big shout to Eric Abrams it and Matt Schuller it's the what we doing is like I'm about to start distributing other
Starting point is 00:58:52 people's specials turning my YouTube into a network not just not just mine so it was the test was the same program that I would do for myself could I do that for somebody else and Marcus D. Wiley was the testing ground so and it's not just that but we we didn't just shoot it special if you look Marcus we shot it special and just then we marketed him and then in june marcus went on his own tour see that's the difference between how you you teach somebody to fish versus constantly giving him fish i'm i don't find no no pride and oh you know charlemagne been opening up for me for eight years i die charlemagne can't go on the road by itself but if you out with me for two years and we built and we built and we
Starting point is 00:59:44 we build you and we give you your own your own lane and then we market you in that own lane and then we lobby our relationships to put you in these clubs by yourself and then you do that for two years and then in two years you in a theater by yourself you know markets you the new special in um september you know we're producing this new join in september so that's the way that you you actually help somebody not hold them hostage with you for eight, nine years and then they can't go fish on their own. You know, that's a, that's a crazy mentality.
Starting point is 01:00:21 D.L. knew I was leaving. Bill Bellamy knew I was leaving. I was with Diel for four years. I was with Bill for four years. But I, and Bill always called me Bobby Brown. I'm like, yo, I was leaving no addition. You know what I was? I was out. And so in that, in that concept,
Starting point is 01:00:41 when it's other comics other comedy friends that I have that I want to produce their specials and this is where you start to understand the industry there's some people who didn't send me their specials and I didn't have to why you got to be so bold you ain't like it no I ain't say I ain't like it it just wasn't it it wasn't on brand so I got to go I got the that's excuse no that's not excuse no that's not a I was excuse. It doesn't fit the brand.
Starting point is 01:01:12 No, no. They watch it right now, like, I knew he didn't like it. No, I had the corporate shit to say it too. It don't fit the brand. What's the brand? Like, you said it was a pamphlet, not a book. I love it. It's like, you gotta tell your friends, like, hey, man, look,
Starting point is 01:01:28 I don't think this is your, I don't think you want to be introduced like this. You kind of want to come out a little stronger than this. I don't want to hear. That's real. Oh, no, Deja Bell told Donnell that. And in a, in a special. No, I'm that serious.
Starting point is 01:01:46 No, I'm that serious. Donnell did his special during COVID. And by the time it was time to come out, it was, it was kind of dated, like the material and stuff like that. So they was like, not it. It's not it. You should go back and do it again. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Why you pause like that? Because he did not have to just throw Donne under the bus like that, didn't he? He, he said it right under. He said it up here. Um, anyway. Hey laughing like that, man. It's one of them things that, you know.
Starting point is 01:02:15 You want to swing on Donnell too? No, I like Donnell. I like Donnell. Don't know cool. It's just with me, you're right, you're going to have to up your pen, you know, with me in order to produce your special. It has to have a beginning, a middle, in the end. It has to have a through line because a set. is not a special you know if people go on my YouTube I never called um what was it
Starting point is 01:02:47 what was that don't judge a book by his cover I never called it a special I never called PTA a special it's a show it's a set but it's not a special the specials are domino effect one through four and then rugged and my two sons and and I did my um my two sons and rugged to show man I Don't try to lock me in no prison box. Before I ever did, Mexican got on boots. I had been doing stand-up for about 15 years. And I did it because I didn't want to get caught up in the whole prison stigma.
Starting point is 01:03:25 All you use is a prison. So I never did any of the stories. So my friends had heard them stories a thousand times. And I remember Bill's like, yo, man, if you don't ever do this story, bro, I'm going to kill you. You know what I'm saying? Because this man got on boots And then this story about Feast And I still haven't done Feast

Starting point is 01:05:05 like white, Mexican, Asian, black, we were like, I said, well, maybe Feast, this is why I said in my head, maybe Feast took a break. And he ain't on the pancake. And I looked, and Feast was on them pancakes.
Starting point is 01:05:20 I said, oh, shit. Dude came and sat down and the Mexicans came to him first. Hey, man. You know, you need to apologize to Feast. And he said, like, man, fuck that little bitch. Oh.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Oh, my God. And I said this nigga said again. I turned to somebody. I said, this nigga said, fuck this kid. White boy's like, yo, yo, yo, my man. Yo, yo, yo, yo, you might want to go apologize to feast. I ain't apologizing that bitch. This nigga keeps saying it.
