Okay, because I'm, you know.

Y'all are projecting good energy for me.
You're trying to get them handcuffs off, man.
You reminiscing about being in the Four Seasons.
You know, I did see you get chased once.
I advised.
Unless you want to reenact me.
He took off too, he fast.
Man, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
When I saw him, this thing come out my mouth,
this nigga, go!
That's right.
And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that word,
but I'm like, this, this, this.
Observation.
Observation.
You scan the streets.
You scan the streets.
You missed every car.
You missed every car when you dipped and dabbed.
You sure did.
You know, and see a lot of people,
and it reminded me of me when I did, and a lot. So, I did. You know, and and and see
a lot of people and it reminded
me of me when I did and a lot
of people don't know this when
I did the um I did the um easy
E video. A lot of people
thought. The um Compton City
G's. Wow. That's a that's a
diss record. The Dre. Exactly.
But everybody thought that was
um um AJ Johnson. Mm hmm.
Because he did the first one with um with Drake. No, that was me that did that,
because you would have been able to tell the difference
just by the speed that I was running.
They told me to slow,
remember the scene when it was running through the park,
and the dog was chasing me?
They told me to slow down.
I said, dude, I'm an athlete, I ran track.
Y'all got your pants low.
And you played baseball.
And I played baseball.
And this one behind me play baseball
That's that's my son, but he uh
Yeah
Yeah, he played the ball too
You can't do certain things like we were talking about earlier when you go to mine is you just can't
Same week you can't not twice. Yeah, you feel the drug test
and get caught in the same week, you can't knock twice. Gotcha, gotcha.
Yeah.
He filled the drug testers up?
Mm-hmm.
Damn.
All I know is I said, you are not moving back home.
Damn.
That's all I said.
Did he listen?
Did he move back home?
Hell, through all my nose.
Okay.
Because you were gifted.
You know, you had it.
You just didn't want it bad enough.
When you want something bad enough,
you do what's necessary to get there, no matter what.
You wanted this.
So you worked hard to get this,
and you wasn't gonna let nobody take it away from you.
And just the fact the way you ran that day,
I knew that you would be back.
Because I know all them got tired.
All them said, oh my God. I got the hell on.
That's right. And I'll do it again. But you know, I really wanted to meet you after that day because
for the simple fact. That was like 12 years ago. It don't matter. I want to, I want to, number one,
some people you just want to meet and some people we all have, we observe,
and we all have an opinion on.
He's one of those ones,
sometimes I carry an opinion on you,
but I wanted to meet you.
What was your opinion?
My opinion was, sometimes was,
I know you're trying to get to the truth.
You're trying to get to the truth,
but I'm like, ah, bruh.
It's a way to get there.
Yeah, but that's just me, because that's about,
you know, I'm a Scorpio, so I'm pretty in your face.
But at the same time, you've never wavered,
and I'm gonna have to give you that.
You've never wavered, no matter if you were right or you wrong.
And DJ Envy, you say what you got to say sometimes too now.
Yeah, but y'all pretty smart cats.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, y'all pretty smart.
Cause I see how y'all go try to do the underbelly
sometimes with them uppercuts.
What do you mean underbelly?
Catch a person.
Well it's been years.
You've been watching 15 years though,
so it depends when you call us.
Say it again.
Oh I'm watching you running the park.
Oh you running pretty fast now.
I'm watching you running the park.
I tried to tell you.
You never seen a coming city genius?
I did, but I had to see it again. You running pretty fast. I, you running pretty fast now. I'm trying to tell you, but I will have to see it again. I had to
hold my hat. I see you holding your you know, you know, just
like a famous person in the hood said they were running a 4 240.
I was like, if you don't stop, if you don't stop, if you don't stop, and I love both him,
Kevin, myself and Kat had a race.
For real?
Real talk.
In real life?
Real life.
Tell us the story.
I think we were in Cleveland getting ready to do a show.
How did this race happen?
I'm just saying, we had a race.
Okay.
I'm the oldest.
Woo!
What year was this?
It don't matter. It don't matter. It! What year was this?
It don't matter. It don't matter.
It don't matter. This isn't Jesus's logbook.
It don't matter. And you won.
I'm just letting you know. They didn't.
So you ain't see the 4-2-40 is what you're telling us.
I didn't say you couldn't run.
Okay, okay.
Anybody getting chased can run.
That's right, that's right.
But a 4-2-40, come on now.
But I love, and I want to clear something up,
I'm glad I brought his name up.
And then, can I get to this?
You can do it.
You know, I'm so amped right now.
Yeah, for a while.
Take your time, man.
Thank you, thank you.
Man don't know where.
I want to clear something up with my fans
and with the people that have seen this interview.
with my fans and with the people that have seen this interview, something was asked about Cat Williams and myself. And I said, Cat, there's something for my brother that I would never,
no one can ever say nothing bad about Cat to me. And let me say good morning to all of America.
bad about Kat to me. And let me say good morning to all of America. Kat did something, you know, Kat a lot of times, Kat has a great heart. A lot of people just don't understand him sometimes,
but there is a great heart and a great young man in there. And he helps people out without thought
process, meaning I ain't got to know what your problem is, but I know this would help you,
monetarily. A lot of people say that, by the way, too.
Yeah.
Especially comedians.
Cat did something for me that, oh, I'm trying not to get emotional.
Cat did something for me that had nothing to do with monetary value, had something to do with the way your heart has been built.
My brother who was in the wheelchair,
we were doing a show in Detroit.
And my brother, the way he was sitting,
he couldn't come back to meet everybody.
And I can't remember,
because I didn't remember it at first.
People think Cat gave some money to my brother.
For what?
I got money.
Cat did something that most humans wouldn't do without thinking.
He went and sat and talked to my brother
while everybody else was backstage meeting everybody. He talked to him.
So he saw your brother.
He saw him.
He saw him physically, went out there
and talked to this young man.
That's why I can't nobody tell me nothing bad about Kat.
No matter whatever other demons may be going on,
you can't talk to me about it.
That's not my lane for that.
My lane is what he did for my brother,
which money could never compare to.
You understand me?
Absolutely.
You understand me, I mean.
So I just wanted to clear that up,
it had nothing to do with money,
had everything to do with his brother's heart.
His brother's heart was...
So I just wanted to... To salute the cat, that means a lot.
It means more than a lot.
You said you wanted to clear up,
but do people think you and cat have beef
or you and cat have rice?
No, no, no, no, no.
Everybody, like you said, everybody,
especially committee think that everything,
it's about monetary value, that he's throwing out money.
No, he threw out his heart, he ain't throw out money.
He threw out his heart that out money. No, he threw out his heart. He ain't throwing out money. He threw out his heart that made my brother probably
thought he was standing up and walking again.
You understand what I'm saying?
That's why.
I know exactly what you mean.
I know people who've done that for other people.
Didn't give them no money,
didn't put them in a movie or anything like that,
but just showed up for them.
I say that about Issa Rae all the time.
Issa Rae showed up for one of my homegirls
when she was going through it.
And my homegirl did ultimately take her life
a couple years later, but when Issa showed up for her,
rest in peace, Jasmine Waters,
when Issa showed up for her,
I know what that did for her and her spirit.
So for all we know, that might have kept her alive,
you know, a couple more years.
Absolutely, absolutely.
So I get exactly what you're saying.
Yeah, and people get misconceptions about us as
people of color also.
We have great hearts.
But people don't understand, we've been through a lot of shit. And we are saying, when are you going to quit? You can't keep kicking that dog in the
corner and while he got teeth in his mouth, don't expect him to sink them in on you at one point.
You can't do that.
People of color, and I'm saying people of color, not just my black people, we have great hearts
and I love each and every one of you.
But the Latino community, y'all fucked up.
I'm just keeping it real, y'all 62%.
Now look at you. Oh them Venice Waves in Florida
that live right next door.
Remember the lady.
Trump is number one. We voted for him.
Two hours later.
What happened?
No don't push me. I don't want to leave.
I voted for him.
Even average working white people mad.
What the fuck? What do you mean I'm fired? No, I voted for him. Even average working white people mad.
What the fuck?
What do you mean I'm fired?
I voted for him.
I swear to God, man.
I swear to God.
I voted for him, man.
Sam's gonna mess with the black people
and the Mexicanos.
Yeah, man, El Taco Worms, man.
The fuck?
Oh, and that's you crazy, man.
Can we ask you some questions?
You can.
I like people that interview theyself, okay?
But you used to play baseball.
I did.
And you gave up a pro baseball career to go into comedy.
Well I never made it to the pros because
I went to jail.
You went to jail?
Yeah I did.
So why you so hard on your son?
All he did was smoke a little weed.
Well it's legal in most states.
Exactly.
Hold up cuz.
We're gonna get some straight right now.
We're gonna get some straight now.
That man that followed his daddy, yeah, that's what daddy I'm saying.
Between me, you and your mama, we're getting ready to get some straight right now. First of all, you have to know our history
in order to understand why I say this.
Number one, you have to realize
I'm passing along knowledge to you
that I've already obtained.
Okay, I got you.
Grasp that.
I got you. You cannot, I I got you. You cannot I told him this things I said
do not
allow a female
To ruin your career. Mm-hmm
Handle your business first
Get get to the main line
Finish that destination and then you're gonna have all the offers you need. See what they bring to
the table. And it's nothing against the female rights, but
I'm saying they will end your career. Yep. Quickly. Mm hmm.
In sports.
I knew he was something special when he was six months in the crib.
He reached for a ball, not normal, not like a normal baby.
You know how babies reach?
He went like this.
And I said, oh shit!
This is what I said.
I didn't even know at the time my wife was filming that.
I didn't even know, and she showed it to me years later. I said we got one on the film. I thought we got one I
Started training him at four. Mm-hmm. I never let him hit off a tee. No, they let little kid team
Oh, I never let him hit off a tee. I switched him
Switched him right to left at nine. He fought me for three years
every time I made him go to the left. He hit his first home run as a freshman from the left.
After that, I haven't said another word. His glove was buttered, but his bat was dangerous.
So you have to realize I was throwing him
anywhere between three to 500 balls a day.
Damn.
So you put a lot into him.
A whole lot into him.
And you already made a lot of mistakes
that you was telling him not to make.
And I said, you are gifted.
So you have to realize when you're doing that,
you're taking away from your home life too.
Even though your wife may understand, you're taking away from part of her because you're
– I would fly in, I would – when he started playing ball in school and in college, I would
fly in.
Like, I flew in one time, flew in back to Atlanta from doing a show, got in my truck,
drove to Jacksonville.
Drove to Jacksonville when this team. He just sighed, he was like, man,
goddamn, tidy in this goddamn store.
Oh, oh, you know.
Damn, man.
He good.
He good, yeah.
But I had, when it was called, they were called,
the Ros, what was it, New Mexico, Pufferfish. Right, they wanted called the Ros, what was it? Mexico, puffer fish.
Right, they wanted to see him.
Protein. Protein, okay.
But they wanted to see him at,
like on a Friday at X time.
I flew in to Atlanta.
I flew in from Atlanta, then I flew to Jacksonville, picked him up, drove him all the way to Roswell,
New Mexico without stopping but once, a couple of times to fill up overnight and had him
there by nine in the morning.
I saw Area 51.
There really is an Area 51.
Oh yeah, we know.
And nobody in Roswell,
I mean that's my first time seeing it.
And they had that cliff where you drive,
it's like a 2000 feet drop.
I think my truck was tip-toeing.
I swear to God.
Nobody ran into my first sandstorm.
Never had a sandstorm,
actual sandstorm like in the movie The Mummy.
I mean it was scraping up the car and everything.
Did you think that was the aliens
when you were driving through?
It was eerie. When I say eerie, it was like, and I'm one of those people that feel things,
you know, it was very eerie because my mom and them think that I'm psychic. I'm not,
but they think so because I say stuff way before it happens. But it was just eerie.
And then driving through that,
this one really got bad. That's why I said I couldn't live in a place like that. Roswell,
New Mexico, nobody had their teeth. I went to this town, nobody had their teeth. The fruit was
rotten and squished down like it had been x-rayed. I mean, you know what I'm saying, like zapped.
Nobody had teeth. I mean, the young ones,. Nobody had teeth like all their teeth fell out. I thought I was
in a movie. I knew it was weird. So how do you do? Like I said,
you can't get caught twice in the same week. Damn. So it
seemed to me what you did to me, all this work that I put into you, not because
I'm trying to live through you, but because you had a gift and God put me there to hone
that gift for you.
You see the talent.
I felt betrayed that you let me down and yourself down and you definitely let your mama down
because she's the one holding the fort while we out there on that baseball field.
He's sitting right there on that.
You think I care?
Do you think I care?
When was this?
Look me in my eyes.
Do you think I care?
When was this?
What do you mean when was this?
How long ago, Jay, we talking back when that happened?
Seven years ago?
You ever let it go yet?
No, no, no, no. I said oh happened. Seven, seven, yeah, seven years ago.
So you ever let it go yet?
No, no, no, no.
I said, no.
You asked me what happened.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm telling you.
But you still a little hurt.
That's what I'm asking.
No, it doesn't hurt now because.
No.

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast hell and gone, I've learned
one thing. No town is too small for murder.
I'm Catherine Townsend.
I've received hundreds of messages
from people across the country,
begging for help with unsolved murders.
I was calling about the murder of my husband
at the cold case.
I've never found her, and it haunts me to this day.
The murderer is still out there.
Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line,
I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist to this day. The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line,
I dig into a new case,
bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist
and private investigator
to ask the questions no one else is asking.
Police really didn't care to even try.
She was still somebody's mother.
She was still somebody's daughter.
She was still somebody's sister.
There's so many questions
that we've never gotten any kind of answers for.
If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murderline
at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murderline on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It doesn't hurt because we got to live on.
We got to move on to the next chapter.
And that's what we doing.
You know, still young, still growing, still learning.
You know, us as men, we take forever to catch on.
That one week shouldn't have defined the whole career.
Lifetime, right?
That's what I'm saying.
What do you mean that one week?
That was your, that was, you were-
Oh, so that was his big break.
That was where, yeah, you want that next step. All right, all you were so that was his big break that was where yeah
All right, all right. All right. I got you. I got you. I got you. Okay, you went from got you. Yeah
you could have been at a
Anywhere from a anywhere from a five to a ten million dollar contract
Now McDonald's checks is looking good to you
You sound like my daddy.
My daddy got a story about one of my cousins
who got a tryout with some bass,
but it was a pressure bass
because he might have been the bravest of them all.
And this was way back in the day,
so he just didn't want to take his earring out.
But the fact he didn't want to take his earring out.
Hold on a minute.
Uh oh.
Dangle, dangle.
Did you hear him?
No, no. Never had that problem before. Dango down Got them chandeliers on his ear
No, I love him though. He's doing he's doing good. What's it? I'm glad that y'all can get past that man
Yeah, we're bad. I mean
Is that why you didn't do a special for 10 years?
Because you was pointing to him?
A lot of it.
I mean, that.
And I had to gather the thoughts of the material
because I don't watch other comedians.
I don't believe in that.
We saw you say that on the special.
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
You need to see me.
That's who you pay for.
So I try to be as different as I can be.
I try to be just, I try to be different.
Did something happen to you early in your career
that made you have that mentality?
Like I don't wanna watch other comedians?
I've always been a loner.
So I've always had to entertain myself. So in doing that, there's a, unfortunately,
there's a lot of hatred in the mixed of this business.
There's a lot of people that don't want to see you
gain fame or gain your next footing.
Oh yeah, Club Cheche has shown us that.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. Club Cheche has shown us that. Oh my God. Oh my God.
Club Shae Shae has shown us the beef
that exists in the comedy world.
Yeah, but me personally, I don't worry about that.
And of course, if you were watching that,
you heard me talking about the one of it,
when the dude trying to get with the girl
and call me a certain name to that girl.
He's from New York?
Yeah.
Now, I gotta ask, you've been compared-
You can ask whatever you want to.
I know, we gonna ask.
Black man.
You've been compared to legends like Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.
You heard that before, I'm sure.
Yeah, and Flip Wilson.
And Flip Wilson.
Why do you think RNSJ hasn't, like he said,
done the special in 10 years,
took off the way that these comedians name that I said,
is it because you balance family life a lot better?
That's an excellent question,
and also you just gave a great answer.
I was already into a family when I got into this.
That couldn't stop.
Did I wanna be famous?
Of course.
That's why you get into this.
But then I smartened up and realized,
do I want the fame or do I want stability down the road?
Give me the stability.
You keep the fame.
I know a whole bunch of famous broke people.
There's some famous broke people
that I had to dish out to.
But your name was no more than mine.
But I got my fans who have never let me down.
My special right now, within five days,
it was at a million
views, five days. That don't happen. Two million views too much.
We're at 27 days, we're at two million views. I can only thank God Almighty and
and there's people out there that care about me and that's what it, that's why I
give every, when I'm on stage I
give everything that I have, whether it's one person on stage or it's 10,000 in the
arena. I give everything that I have because I'm not afraid to fail. I'm
afraid to let my fans down. People work hard for their money. I'm your comic relief.
They need that pressure taken off of themselves.
So when comedians beef with each other,
some of it's legit, some of it's not.
Anything that I do, I do it in front of your face
and then have you wanna handle it after that.
You know, it's an interesting question to be asked,
but I think one thing people don't realize about comedians,
guys like you make money.
Like I done seen you a couple of times,
you don't even know because I was a youngster back then.
Like Columbia, South Carolina,
Township Auditorium. Wow, what you doing
in Columbia, South Carolina?
I'm from Charleston, South Carolina. Born in Charleston, raised in Montscona. You're from Gucci land? Yes sir, Gucci Carolina, Tangebaud Auditorium. What you doing in Columbia, South Carolina? You from Carolina? I'm from Charleston, South Carolina.
Born in Charleston, raised in Montscona.
You're from Gucci land?
Yes sir, Gucci land, absolutely.
I'll tell you, Gucci my bad.
I'm about my bad.
Now you would hear R.N.S.J. name all the time.
R.N.S.J. gonna be at the Tangebaud Auditorium.
R.N.S.J. gonna be at the Gilead Auditorium.
So I've personally seen you on stage years, years, years,
years, years ago. So you think about, that's what, I've seen I've personally seen you on stage years years years years years years
Thank you, so you think about that's what?
I've been doing radio 27 years. Yeah, so I you've been your career has been longer than that. Yeah, it's been almost 35
That's what I'm saying. So guys like you've been on the road y'all on the road making
tens of thousands hundreds of thousands dollars a weekend
Honest like don't count my money now. No, no. Oh, but that is one thing I hate.
Do not look in my pockets.
And as anybody with me, working with me,
do not look in my pockets.
And I'm going to say this,
and it's going to be a whole bunch of people
that probably get upset, but I'm speaking truth.
Most comedians are of certain status, I feel,
would rather have females working for them than men.
You know why?
Why?
Because we're men, we're alphas.
You wanna be the top dog, you wanna be that alpha male.
Why you making all this money?
I need to make more.
Most of the time women, they're not in competition with you. They're there to do a great job. So when they do their job,
it makes it easier on you.
A lot of comedians have a woman that will open up for them. It doesn't matter to me whether you're a woman or a man.
I've had both.
But it's open up for him. It doesn't matter to me whether you're a woman or a man. I've had both.
But it's most, and if I'm wrong,
you can tell me I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
I'm gonna take that clip and put it out of context.
I just want you to know that.
You go do what you want.
Let the man and woman play.
I don't care if it's a man or woman, I had both.
Yeah, yeah, no, you can do that.
You can do that, cause I got context too.
See, you see how I don't run away from that, you see how I don't run away from that?
You see how I don't run away from that?
You in my lane.
So I'm going to put you back in your lane.
So do whatever you want because by the time I'm done,
you and DJ Envy will have slept with each other.
So you do that if you want to.
But you ain't the first to say that though.
Yeah, but the way I'm going to do it,
the way I'm going to do it The way I'm gonna do it.
I said, why you think he's smiling
his lip turn pink automatically?
That's blood rushing up in there.
You crazy.
You crazy.
That's that Cuda blood.
That's that Cuda blood.
Why you think Charlamagne looks like an Egyptian?
With them eyebrows.
Everybody, Goddamn eyebrows.
I know somebody that don't spray air marker up in there.
Look like an Egyptian.
Nah, it's natural, man.
Definitely not natural.
He play with them eyebrows.
Yeah, man, you go with that,
can I curse over here?
Go on with that, boy.
That's when you know a nigga don't have a dog.
Because the diet done set in, so he try to wipe out.
I wipe it out, I want it to be natural.
Around here.
That's natural.
I don't know how that happened.
Yeah, you know how it happened.
How come you the only human that does natural,
and all the other gyms just had that done?
How come?
Oh my god.
That's our ancestors, man.
That's our ancestors. That's our ancestors, man. That's our ancestors.
That's where we come from.
I come from the same place you come from, right?
Why don't my eyebrows look like that?
And that ain't done.
You ain't get yours done.
I know.
You done shot some ink in there.
You ain't slick.
You done shot some ink or had it threaded,
whatever that thing's got.
No, I'm not gonna lie.
When I was young.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Uh-oh, here it go.
I'm gonna tell you why.
Here it go.
I used to work in a telemarketing place, and it was two girls, and they told me that Tupac
get his eyebrows arched.
Nia and Samira, that's what they named.
And I got my eyebrows arched because they told me Tupac did.
There's nothing wrong with getting your eyebrows arched.
I did it back then.
I was like 19.
Now let's talk about that eyeliner that you got, that permanent eyeliner.
You know, Charlemagne, I'm gonna love you no matter what.
You can't have eyeballs that look like that and then name Charlemagne.
That go together.
That goes together. Greek God.
Egyptian God.
Yeah, Egyptian God. That go together. Greek God, Egyptian God. God, yeah, Egyptian God.
That go together.
All right, do you know when my mama used to know
that I was lying what she would say?
What?
Mm-hmm.
I wanna ask about his style of comedy, right?
I wanted to stay in that realm though,
but go ahead, we'll let you go.
No, no, can I do this before you ask me the question?
We're gonna take a minor break here for pause for the cause right? I need a pair of scissors
I do want to say this I
was always taught and
I ain't got my blade on. You do not go
The way you was getting chased you had more than blade on you, but what the heck?
Should have a bat in your back pocket
the more than blade on you, but what the heck? Should have a bat in your bag pocket. You got it?
Nigga, you wouldn't move it.
I wanna say this.
You don't go to people's house when you meet them
without homage of a gift.
I see why you kept that sealed.
Yeah, this is created by me.

Let's move on.
Listen, I like the, when I've seen you on stage,
you're very animated.
OK, let me try to get my face back.
Did it switch?

When you're on stage, you're very animated.
Yes.

It's a game you want to play, man?
I'm going to take my ball and go home.

Okay, okay.
Come on, let him hit.
Even though you looking in his eyes,
oh, you were locked.
Oh, Charlamagne met him.
Couldn't even say a sentence.
You could not look him in his eyes and leave
unless his eyes released you.
He made me stutter and I don't even know why.
I don't even get it.
I know why you stuttered
because your brain was saying, what's up,
what we gonna do?
Your brain said, okay, you gonna let him hit.
You already looking at your eyes
cause you already look like an Egyptian.
So what you wanna do?
He had those too though.

I'm not calling him out.
I'm just telling you.
Can you tell me what you heard?
Tell me what I heard.
He ain't answering.
He ain't picking up.
Nope. Why your phone sound so sexy?
What did Prince say when he called you?
Why you slurring your assets?
He wanted me, he wanted to meet me and I thought they were joking. I went to meet him and when I met him he
wanted me to do two shows. I did two shows with him. I was in Oakland,
California and when I went there to San Francisco first. When I went there, when
we first met, he was in rehearsal. Larry Graham was just either getting ready to walk off or walking off.
And he saw me and he told me, come on in, because I didn't want to disrespect.
I'm up there watching this man in rehearsal.
And I'm the only one in the audience.
That's dope.
The only one in the audience.
Then he told me to come on stage.
Pranks.
Man.
And as
he had butter hands too but Prince is something else. Prince is a beast. When I
looked in his eyes, I looked in his eyes like you're not gonna let me leave, are you? You're just gonna hold my heart.
He, dude, I was in such amazement.
Then when I saw her, the wardrobe,
the clothes that he was gonna wear,
I didn't even want my clothes no more.
It's my role manager laughing.
So I- We know, we saw Prince float away.
Dude, I went out and bought me a shirt with the back cut out.
Shut up.
Rod am I lying?
I went out.
I'm here to tell the truth.
I went out.
I don't lie.
My interview.
Where did you find a shirt with the back cut out?
It don't even matter.
We was in San Francisco. Okay. I got you. Easy my interviews. Where'd you find a shirt with the back cut out? It don't even matter. We was in San Francisco.
Oh, okay.
I got you.
Easy to find.
Yeah, yeah.
Got you, got you, got you, got you, got you.
My back was cut out.
Thank God I didn't baby oil back there.
I wasn't even a comedian when I went out there.
I'm up here trying to shimmy.
The back cut out.
You know what Charlamagne said?
Charlamagne, we see him and it was in the hallway.
Charlamagne walks up to him and...
I'm seven days after too.
Well, shut up. That's not what happened.
He didn't say hello. How you doing?
That's the first thing that was on Charlamagne's mind.
Somebody say Prince was in the building.
Mind, you were six in the morning.
I'm like, Prince in the building? Why would Prince just randomly be in the building?
Did you do that before you went out?
He did. He did. Absolutely positive.
Did you do that before you went out? He licked his lips. You can tell him, bro. He fixed his eyebrows. You get that.
You licked your eyebrow.
No.
Charlamagne, did you do this?
When we walked out the studio and we went to the hall,
he was already walking by.
And he saw us and he came walking toward us.
He actually came walking toward us.
OK, but when he left, did you look at his little ass?
Yes, and I took a picture of it.
He took a picture.
I took a picture of him as he was walking away.
Because we asked him to take a picture.
Did it go knock knock.
Do do do do do.
In my line, he was floating off the ground.
Yes.
And then when I went to go show everybody, I'm like, yo, look, he was floating.
The picture was black in my phone.
It was just a black box where the picture was.
In my line, MB was right there. We all my line. He was right.
He was right there.
We all saw it.
He was walking away because we asked him to take a picture.
He was like, no, I don't want to take a picture.
Cool.
And as he was walking away, I took a picture of him from behind.
And when we looked, he was levitating off the ground a little bit.
And I showed him.
We all looked at the picture once to see him levitating.
I'm glad you said that.
Because the next shit turned into a black square.
I'm glad you said that because when he was on stage,
you know they called me, he called me up on stage to perform.
They made me sing with him.
And Larry Graham and everybody was up there
when he started doing that little move
and I had never seen a pair of five insta-dellos move
look like he wasn't touching the ground.
I mean, it was the weirdest thing I, so you're not lying.
No, we said it.
Nobody believes it.
I don't tell the story because nobody believes it,
but I seen him take the picture.
He showed us and it was gone.
Gone, it was a black box.
I said send me the picture, send me the picture, gone.
Like what the fuck, where the fuck the picture went?
It's a black box where the picture was.
Spirits.
That's all.
Spirits. Why did you and Ricky Smiley have beef, man?
Huh?
I heard Ricky tell that story.
I think he was up here.
He told it.
Okay, tell me what he told you.
He just said that y'all had beef for 20 years, never spoke, and then y'all randomly saw each
other on a plane and ended up sitting next to each other and y'all squashed whatever
issues y'all had.
Well, that's what happened.
That's what he told you, that's what happened.
That what he told you, that's what happened.
Yo, Arnaz is stupid, yo.
You know.
You just did what your mama did.
You said, mm-hmm.
No, no.
Once you squash or we talk,
like two grown men, once we do that,
then whatever you say say without demeaning me
and getting away from all of the truth,
then that's what happened.
We'll leave it at that.
That's what happened.
You're a good brother, man.
Both of y'all are good brothers.
Both of y'all are good brothers.
I know he is.
You know, I reach out to him.
Both of us have different places in life.
I can get along with, believe it or not,
I can get along with.
I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes,
but there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast, Hell and Gone, I've learned
one thing.
No town is too small for murder.
I'm Katherine Townsend.
I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country, begging for help with unsolved murders.
I was calling about the murder of my husband at the cold case.
I have never found her, and it haunts me to this day.
The murderer is still out there.
Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case,
bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator
to ask the questions no one else is asking.
Police really didn't care to even try.
She was still somebody's mother.
She was still somebody's daughter.
She was still somebody's sister.
There's so many questions

You may just say them.

I'm a fisherman.
I travel all over the globe to fish.
I go for big boys.
The biggest you caught?
Biggest I caught?
Yeah.
Biggest I think I've ever caught
was probably like a 250 pound Mako shark.
But I catch yellow fin tunas, I catch black grouper,
I stay on the ocean fishing.
Matter of fact, yeah, through my Instagram,
everything, people, they'd be amazed
at some of the fish I catch.
The fish I catch, like red snapper now,
red snapper in the store, like black groupers
upward almost 45, $50 a pound.
I catch it fresh and I just give it away.
Give away, so you don't sell them, you just give them.
No, my friends sell them.
I give because I keep what I want.
My freezers are full of just fish, but I cook.
So I love to fish.
So I don't know, so I love to fish.
So, I don't know, man, life is just too short not to enjoy, you know?
Absolutely.
You got to steadfast in life.
And as I tell brothers sometimes, I say, women never what?
Women never forget.
Men, believe it or not, never forgive.
You think we forgive you, we don't.
You think we want to forgive a person we know,
we know this nigga was hitting from the back, grabbing your head like that.
Am I lying? Nope.
Ain't nobody ever hit me from the back and grab my head like that.
You ain't got no head.

How this feels?
You was a flight attendant too right?
For sure was.
Man I know you was hilarious on the plane.
I was nasty.
What airline was it?
Continental Airlines. You used to be on the microphone?
I changed voices, I can do all of them.
Okay.
Yeah, I was the lead flight attendant.
Really?
What made you stop doing it?
No, I'm asking.
I mean, I know what you're doing in your college.
Cause it was time. No, I actually what you do. You're doing your college. Cause it was time.
No, I actually got fired.
Really?
Sleeping on the jump seat.
That's an automatic termination.
Really?
You can't sleep on the jump seat?
Hell no.
As a flight attendant?
Who told on you?
A crew that was not even my crew.
It was a crew that picked up my trip. The captain, and at
that time she over senior, seniored me, was sleeping. We wanted flight attendants.
I didn't really get along with her too much, but I was real sick. We was in Newark,
New Jersey, and it was a snowstorm. So they held us at the gate for like four hours.
Then we went out to, and I was real sick,
had the flu or something.
Then we went out to the runway thinking we gonna take off.
We was out there another hour.
Finally, they brought us back in.
And they're supposed to let the crew go
after a certain point?
Yeah, you have a certain time allotted.
Well, they just made that rule a couple years ago before.
Remember, you could stay on that thing for hours.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You still had, you still had arrest time that you had.
You can only push back times
and you can only do it a certain amount of time.
But we went back and I told the captain
that I had just taken some NyQuil.
So when we was on the jump seat, I fell asleep.
Hold on, somebody telling the story, hush. I'm going to get to you in one second.
No, I'm going to get to you in a second.
Somebody telling the story.
Get to the story.
Go back to the story.
Bottom line is, when they wanted to fire me,
I told them what happened.
The captain denied it, said I had never told him anything.
Damn.
Because he was knocking off the old girl.
Yeah so that was an automatic termination.

Because you ain't gonna holler at me and then and then let's go get ice cream.
You crazy? Is you crazy? See I don't mind comedy., you can go back in front of me and make funny jokes,
but when it gets personal,
that's when we have to have a conversation.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So if you going at me, you can go at me,
we can go at each other, but when it gets personal.
I think that's what happened with Don Ellen and Corey.
They felt, they felt, they felt.
They felt, yeah.
Oh, he got it.
No, Corey baited him.
Then we gotta have a conversation.
He got his feeling.
I'm a beast, son!
You ain't just go talk about my man in front of me.
He's taking off all his guns.
You know, that's what he's doing.
I think with Don El and Corey, it's the comedy,
the black and mild tour.
It was comedy, I don't ever think it got personal.
Or did it, or did I miss something?
Yeah, but the thing I love about Corey's comedy.
But Corey and Jesse got personal.
But you can't let Cory smell blood on you.
That's right.
And Cory gonna brand you.
Yeah, you can't let him.
It's gonna be a brand that you gonna be stuck with.
You know what I'm saying?
So Donnell had to turn this whole special
to the black and white comedy.
He did.
He did.
But it was jokes though.
It's always stay jokes.
It never got personal for them.
That I seen.
But you know, I'ma be honest with you,
but most like most Latinos.
