Gang, gang. Marlon Wayans is looking at the wall like last time I came. I'm like, I don't see the Wayans. I thought you were up there. No, I ain't. That's Martin Lawrence. He's going to be on that wall. When?

You've been saying that last time. It's been two years. Hey, man. Show them the picture. Y'all gaslighting. You got little ass Kevin Hart there. Show them the picture. Show them the picture.

Looking like. This is what this wall is supposed to be. I don't know why it's taking so long, but this is what he got you. They got me as Loke Dog and a Loke Dog anime. Not even a handsome picture of me. Ain't that something? Y'all made Kevin Hart tall and y'all can't even a handsome picture of me ain't that something y'all made kevin hart tall and y'all can't get a handsome picture of me he has a grown-ass face kevin look in the face like he should be six five he do look tall in the face man this is the one thing about

you marlin you doing another comedy special man you want to run like lil wayne was with music or gucci man was with mixtapes man i feel like you know how you know i feel like i feel like i feel like nas and buster i feel like oh the second half now this is when you really come into your own first 30 years you learning now it's like oh i'm I don't have to rehearse a special for two years to get to know the special. I ain't got to take that long to write it. I've written movies since I was 17 years old. So writing is just something I do. So I know how to write a movie. I can remember a script.

So when I'm writing stand-up, I don't even write it down no more. I just write it in my head, and I put it away in the catalog inside my head like tapes and i now i just know and i make it things happen i go this is what god wants me to do and i do a special so i'm doing my fourth special good grief four special good grief at the apollo sold out two shows yeah mama we did it i think i was gonna sell two shows in Harlem. Times are still rough in Harlem. Everywhere else, the world is thriving. Harlem. Harlem's tough. Gentrification stopped in Harlem. They was like, I ain't going to work here.

Yo, do that shit other places. We like regular coffee. We don't want no Starbucks. So sold out two shows at Harlem. And then, yeah, man, I'm in Nyack tonight. And then after that, I'm going to be, where am I next week, Craig? Oh, New Year's, I'm going to be in Atlanta. I got two shows at the Roxy Theater.

New Year's, get your tickets. I have a brand new set. So I'm going to do this set at the Apollo. I'm going to retire this set. I don't keep doing it until the special comes out. I retire the set the night that I do it. Good night. That's my goodbye to that set. You retire the set the night that I do it. Good night. That's my goodbye to that set.

You just appeared six months ago with a new set. It's another new set? I'm a monster. So why is it called Good Grief? Because it's about how I'm dealing with grief and what's good about grief. And how you could, it's either bad grief or good grief. I've lost 57 people I love in the last three years, but I still, I've been through it. I've been at rock bottom.

I've been in darkness. I've been in dark times. People don't know what I've been feeling. They don't know the pain that I've been going through and what's happening in my life because I always find my smiles. But when you lose 57 people that you love. 57?

57. Damn. 57. I'm not talking about people you knew. I'm talking about people I love, like John Witherspoon, my mom, my dad. And I take the grief and I go, okay, God got me here for a reason. And so I make people smile with the things that I'm hurting with, and then I heal. And I want people to know that you can heal too.

Find the funny, find it. I like the fact that y'all laugh about your situation. You supposed to, because without that, man, it's hard to just be in it. When you get laughs, it make you come out of your own funk.

And I've learned that the audience is there. They're my therapist. I've been staying on a stage the past three years because every time they laugh, I feel like I'm getting oxygen. It lets me know that I'm alive. It's okay to laugh, and everything's going to be okay. And so it's called Good Grief, and it's dope. Dedication to my mom and dad.

I was going to say, it's intentional to do it in Harlem. My mom and dad was born and raised in Harlem. My mother actually performed at the Apollo with her sisters, Amateur Night, and they won with the Green Sisters. They won two times in a row. So I wanted to return to the most famous stage, to the greatest city that raised the two greatest people I know,

and do my best show and dedicate it to them in their memory. How's preparation for this show going to be different with all of that? You know what I mean? No, it's the same. Everything's the same. When you do your reps, everything's the same when you do your reps everything's the same i'm not tripping i'm not putting too much on it i know i'm gonna be a little bit more emotional when it's done you know i'm gonna feel like michael jordan when he had

that when he's popped past and he was holding that trophy and crying on the floor i'm gonna feel like that because um there's a victory in honoring your parents and I had them with me for so long and being able to talk about them every day on stage was great but also hard so retiring that is also retiring some of the memory of them and it's going to be an emotional night. I'm going to have a lot of family in the house

but this set this set is crazy. It's funny. It got heart. It's dark. It's funny. It got heart. It's dark. It's special. If it was whack, I would tell y'all if I feel like it was garbage. If I ever feel like it's garbage, but then again, as artists, we never think it's garbage.

I was going to say, you still going to stage if you thought it was garbage? I wouldn't put it out. I wouldn't do a special. I'm not rushing to do a special. For what? I'm doing specials when it's special. And I'm doing specials because I'm not going to sit on material for five years doing the same set.

When I go to your city, I want you to know, yo, he got a brand new set. Every time I go to your city, which is once a year, he got a brand new set. That's the kind of artist I want to be. I want to drop album after album after album. Like you said, like Lil Wayne. It's an album. That's what a comedy show is. That's the kind of artist I want to be. I want to drop album after album after album. Like you said, like Lil Wayne, like it's an album. That's what a comedy show, it's an album.

So I'm dropping albums and I want people to see my progression from Woke-ish to You Know What It Is to God Loves Me to Good Grief. Every year you're going to see my progression as an artist. And then one day you're like, yo, where did he come from? I've been here. Y'all just discovered me discovered me i was gonna ask was is there any pressure because since it is so close to your heart about your family you got family members coming and i'm sure the closest people that will critique you the most is your family members um you know no i think my brothers trust that i do the work right it was one thing when they were older and when i was when they were when i when i was younger and they was trying to protect me and they didn't know do you know what you're stepping into

but i think after god loves me the last special about the slap about you know chris rock and jada and will after they saw that that was the first time in 30 years that my brothers was like damon said to kenny he said yo i saw marlin's stand-up he said what Keenan he said yo I saw Marlins stand up he said what you think he said it was brilliant that little ugly niggas on or something he said why it's cuz I never seen it done I never seen somebody take one little stupid topic and do a whole hour about it but it wasn't about them it was about him and Keenan saw it and he said okay let me see then Keenan saw it and he goes I saw your special and Damon was right it was brilliant I'm proud of you you changed the game and from there that gave me a level

of confidence like okay I now I know not their process of their own. You discover your own process. You come into your own. I wanted to break the mold so that I found what is Marlon. I have my own identity as far as what I'm doing in terms of specials and what my skill set is. I don't look at the next man. I don't want to do what anybody's doing, what none of my peers or people before me. I just want to do the best Marlin that i can and the marlin that's so many different levels because i'm an actor i'm a writer i'm a producer i i do drama

i do comedy i do characters so i just i just be marlin and i feel like these are my best years people have been watching me for 30 years it's hard to see somebody grow when they're in your house every day it's when they go away and you yo, you shot up. The weird part for me is people have been watching me grow for 30 years and now I'm finally at that place where I feel like I'm that dude. I'm shocked that you ain't

milking it. And what I mean by that is you got this special good grief. You could toy that for two years. You could have toyed any of these specials for two years. Got paid like a month, okay, and then did the special. Yeah, but does that make me a great artist? Or does it make me a better artist and a better writer if I let material be disposable and create from what is new?

I can't hold on. You can't hoard material. You can't hoard life. Life brings you so much drama every day. I only got that much storage space. So I want to hurry up and talk about this cause I got so many other things to talk about. There's so, I got a great special about my brothers

that I wanna do. I got a called Ugly Baby. I got my, I know my next three specials. I got a special. It's called Ugly Baby. You can't just skit over it. Like we got, please. Who's Ugly Baby?

Me, I was Ugly Ass Baby. That's my production company, is Ugly Baby Productions cause I was the ugly ass baby. That's made my production company's ugly baby production because I was an ugly ass baby. Sean was a pretty baby. Okay. I was ugly. Sean, me and Sean used to have a two banger stroller. And when they see Sean, they'd be like,

oh, that baby's so beautiful. I want one. And then I would move and they go, oh my God, what is that? I think it's the afterbirth. Wearing Oshkosh. Damn. Damn. I was ugly baby.

So I talk about me being the youngest of all my brothers and the journey of being the young Prince of Kings. And it's a beautiful hour and a dedication and a roast and toast of my brothers. I'm going to do that one after. See, I go, what's my story? And then I'm going to do that one. That's after I do my next one which is

gonna be either probably called Skittles or Rainbow Child and it's about what? Yes. Wait before you go there how long were you ugly for? How long were you ugly for? Ugly baby. You can't rinse all the ugly off you know. I got most of it away. It's like

middle school not ugly. I had a weird stage in middle school when your teeth get big and you start looking like a rabbit and your arms are long. So ugly baby, ugly at the first lockers. I was ugly as a baby. Then I got cute at like six. I was a bad little six-year-old. Like, I was so pretty at six years. I'm surprised.

Somebody, somebody. I swear, I was, you know what I mean? He be going too far. you know what I mean? He be going too far. Real, he's like, I was. Like sometimes, like one time I was watching Oprah and I was watching Tyler and Tyler was talking about. Yo, his documentary, his documentary that's coming out, what he does is he talks about these dark things

in his life and then shows how he did it in Madea movies. Brilliant. When people see the doc, they gonna get it. They gonna like, oh. Brilliant, that's what I do with standup. I take the worst things i used to go what's funny about pop culture what's funny about race what's funny that's that was wokeish that's the first time i'm telling the joke i'm learning how to tell jokes and then and you know what it is i was like i'm gonna tell some jokes but i'm gonna tell some truth and i talked about me getting caught cheating

on a boat because that happened and it messed my family up so i was like what's funny about that and so that show grew into that and then the third one was like the slap that wasn't about chris will and jada that was about my journey knowing all of them and all the painful things that i went through in that situation and that god really is always an individual experience for you. Whatever happens in the world is really happening for you as an individual. You never wanted to go back to the slap now that she wrote the book, because I'm sure there's so much more material.

I could do four more hours on it after that tour she did. But here's the thing. Her book was amazing, though. She talks about your brother in the book a lot, Kenan. Kenan was dope. My family has been nothing but love and positivity, and Kenan used to always tell her how great she could be. And Kenan had sit-downs with J-Lo.

Why do you think we are doing what we do? Because Kenan put in our head, this is what you can do if you work toward it. You can be an undeniable force of nature. He did. Kenan's that dude. And Jada is a friend. And Will is a friend. And Jada's more my friend than Will. But I feel like this.

Everybody mind your business. Everybody always in everybody's business. Like, yo, social media has allowed people to creep into your business. That's not your fucking business. My life ain't your business. You know what I mean? Like, it's really not. My jokes is your business.

What I let you see is my business. But that's their marriage whatever they choose for their marriage and whatever they want to share great but it's not for us to watch their life like tv this is people's lives so i'm i'm more um and i think i did something right when i did my special because I didn't get no calls from Will. I didn't get no calls from Jada. I didn't get no calls from Chris. And Jada just did this tour. I didn't hear it.

She didn't have nothing. She ain't dragging. No, why? Because Jada knows I love her. Jada knows I came from love, but she also knows that nigga crazy. Marlon just, he off. He just going to say what he going to say,

but it's always with love so you it's not about I wasn't being hateful angry or bitter I was just telling funny truths ugly babies might be all for you to do cuz the brothers gotta be there right so Keenan gotta be there, Damon gotta be there, Sean gotta be there I'ma roast all them niggas that's not pressure them like actually sitting there watching you no they ain't gonna be there I hope we do a tour together and i i get to do my set with about them with them there so i mean they they know i love them and when i do it they gonna they know it's love it's gonna be truth it's gonna be funny but it's gonna be love and then skittles or rainbow child is about my my daughter I have a daughter that transitioned into a son. My daughter, Amai, is now Kai.

Truthful. Yeah. And so I talk about the transition. Not her transition, their transition, but my transition as a parent going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance. And I think there's a lot of parents out there that need to have that message. And I know I'm dealing with it. It was a very painful situation for me.

But man, it's one of the best, funniest hours I probably could ever imagine. I can't see your child come up to you and ask you because you joke too much. So I can see your child say, Dad, I'm thinking of transitioning. And I can just see you take nothing serious I always joke they know I told my daughter us and I said nigga you transitioning to your

brother you look just like him I can't tell them anything on show like I swear to God 23 and 21 but they're brilliant they They don't change. Brilliant. Most well-read. The smartest wins. Smartest. Hands down. My dude, my nigga. I'm still working on the program. I was about to ask you. My nigga covered it all. My nigga covered it all.

Five seconds ago, you had changed. That covered it all. They let me, you know, they know. They know I love them. They see me trying. Do, do, they. They let me, you know, they know. They know I love her. They see me trying and like, I'm happy. It just fucks me up

when I say they. I'm like, it's two of you niggas. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. But I gotta respect their wishes, right?

And, and that takes, as a parent, I just want my kids to be free. I want them to be free in spirit, free in thought, free to be themselves. want them to be free in spirit free and thought free to

be themselves the more you know yourself the more you can govern yourself the more you live your truth the happier your existence so if they can't get that in the household with their father and their mother how the fuck do I send them out into the world to with that kind of confidence right and i'm just so proud of them for being them but that don't mean that they ain't got jokes are they ready for that do they approve yeah they gotta prove the content i did this i did the set in front of i was at i i went this thing for william morris and it was all these world leaders it was like people like it was part of the government people that are five-star generals. And you did that shit?

Some CIA there. There was people there. Like, if I bombed, nigga, I would have been dead. They would have killed me. You would have found my body. They would have poisoned me there. It was that big of a crowd. And I felt like, I want to do this set right here because it's important to me.

What's important to me? Comedy. What's important to me? My children. What do I love? And what's important to me. What's important to me? Comedy. What's important to me? My children. What do I love? And what's important is change. And so all you world leaders that's having this summit, I want you to think about these people and this synapse

and how to be inclusive of this next generation. Because I see a lot of gray hair here, but these kids that we dealing with, they different. And we can't have our old ways and expect to do new things. That's fast. So please embrace the new. When when you first said that the first thing I thought I was like oh my god you say the wrong thing and it's like whoo what's gonna happen next but thinking about it the way you just put it we need

like we need comedians to be able to do that type of thing absolutely because laughter kind of opens up conversations but people you know people are scared because I just got scared for you when you told when you just said it like I wasn't even there watching it but literally listening to you I'm like people will take things they will twist things

they will misinterpret things and you got world leaders in the room and all that stuff but how do you think comedy gets back to that? I think it takes people like me It is not bad

people are still scared people like Chappelle people like you know Chris you know people that don't give a fuck I don't give a fuck I I don't give a fuck. I said it.

I meant it. If you cancel me, good. I didn't want your ass in my show anyway. Because real ones don't cancel you. The people, when you say it, the people that love you, they coming to your show and they bringing a friend. So this cancel culture started when social media started. Social media is not real people.

These are bots from other countries sitting behind computers, taking away our first right as Americans, which is freedom of speech. They're attacking us. And we're so stupid that we pick up on it and the media picks up on it. And then they make this a story. And then now the corporations get scared and the people, the sponsors get scared and then they want to take away

your job, my job. They want to take away our job because they want to take away our mouthpiece because they want to kill our freedom of speech and we are all stupid sheep that are following this damn thing

and I'm just like, yo, fuck that. I'm going to say what I got to say because I know I'm saying it with love. I miss the 70s when you could just say I miss I like mild racism I do I love when a Puerto Rican talks a bad about a Dominican it makes my day I like when they call them negrito sucio yes because they are niggas it does feel like the world was a better place that's to me when everybody was more free with their speech, the world seemed like a better place.

Yes. I think everybody bullshitting each other now. I agree. In the 90s, everybody was scared. I say take it back to the block, man, and let's get back to laughing. And I have a bit in my set that I'm going to do. It's dark. I have some dark jokes, but it's okay because I feel like if I'd say one day

a dark joke is going to save your life because you're going to be in a bad place in your life, and the only way one day a dark joke is gonna save your life, because you're gonna be in a bad place in your life, and the only way to get out of it is to look at it and find humor and laugh your way out of it, because depression is real. I look at the, like when Will slapped Chris, I got scared. Why? Because I seen somebody snap.

I know mental issues, mental illness. You put the world on you. Check on your strong friends. Check on your strong friends. That was a snap moment. I was like, oh. He ain't laughed in a while. Right.

Yeah. Right. So we should be concerned. Instead of frying people, it's like, hey, dude, are you good? Like, we don't, people go through things and we put so much on us, but you don't know how I'm feeling inside. You know what I mean? And sometimes, like, you joking with him.

Yo, you be like, not now. But part of you is like, yeah, that's good. I need that. I need that. He don't stop, though. That's the problem. Oh, he don't stop. But party was like yeah, that's good. I need I need that I need you to do something dark Come on You and he's white collar crimes. I mean some Come on your name's Charlemagne.

You're going to do some gang stuff. Shoot somebody. Now, what about when you got into the situation at United Airlines? What did he wear in that? Them niggas. He said you like a little bit of mild racism. But it was. But see, that was targeting, right?

If I'm a first class customer, I went on the plane. I was minding my business. I had a hat on, so he didn't know it was me plane i was minding my business i had a hat on so he didn't know it was me you know i had i was minding my business i had my three bags one was empty because just in case i get an asshole like him that goes you got to put that bag with that bag or i use that bag to take my clothes when i'm going from show to the hotel so he's like he had three bags like you can't come on here with three bags i said listen i'm first class he goes i don't care what class you're in you can't come on with those three

bags i said okay cool she goes you're gonna have to you're gonna have to condense those so i took the bag i complied it's all on video i complied i said cool i said and then he looks at the bag goes look i said now it's two bags he goes yeah well now that bag looks a little big we're gonna have to check that i looked at this nigga i said i looked at my ticket i said see now you just fucking with me i grabbed my ticket and i walked on the plane he tried to jump on my back i just went like this yeah and he fell off to the ground looking silly and goofy and i went on the plane he tried to jump on your back i jumped my back jump on my back, and I just was like, whatever, and I didn't push nothing. He tried to say I assaulted him. The cops was like, yeah.

The police didn't cite that, though. Yeah, they was like, this is not, sir, for your, clearly this is not assault. But he watched the video and all that. Yeah, he watched the video. But they went and they got me off the plane. I didn't make no funk, no nothing. Can I talk to you, sir?

Sir, I comply. I talked to them, and they was like, you know, he wants to press a charge. And I'm like, how does he get to press charges on me when I didn't do anything? He was messing with me, and I was being harassed. And so I didn't like it. And so what I did was I used my mouthpiece. I used my social media to be like, yo, this is unfair. And they watched the footage, then and the denver uh

city uh district attorney they saw it and it was like yeah this is nonsense they dismissed the case united owes me some compensation because their human resources called me up and try to defend their policy well you know you can't have three bags bitch i didn't have three bags. Bitch, I didn't have three bags. I condensed it to two. You can't. I said, what happens when the customer is always right? I said, y'all treat me like I did something bad. And I have not gotten compensation. I'm like, yo, I got white on them.

I was like, I'm going to write a letter to the CEO. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to DM. I'm going to DM the CEO. Dear Mr. United Airlines. But even after they realized who you were. He didn't DM me back, but you know, it's cool. They still didn't like, like, what are you? So I know that in the filing that you recently filed, you talked about like, there's arrows pointed to all the white people that were able to get on the plane. Yes.

Before you were able to, right? With three bags. Exactly. Right. In your filing. What are you looking for from this? Like, what's justice for you in this situation? to all the white people that were able to get on the plane before you were able to, right? With three bags. Exactly, right? And you're filing. What are you looking for from this? Like, what's justice for you in this situation? I don't know something. First of all, they made me miss a show.

Two shows. And I hate that. And there was a lot of disgruntled fans. And I get sad for them. I'm like, you know, whoever missed that show, y'all need to go send those people on a free trip somewhere. You need to gather all those people up. It was like i don't know 700 people gather those people up and give them free vouchers somewhere that's first and foremost and then i don't know we'll talk about me y'all owe

me some money and uh i should know i should be first class for life they should give me a seat when they're playing in the back of the damn uh first class i want to not be not the first not the first one i hate that i hate it why do you why do you even do that i like that um so when i sit first class up and that i put my feet on the wall and then but i feel real real suspect doing that and the thing about it's uncomfortable it's good It's good as fuck. And then, yeah, so, yeah, I mean, they owe me some compensation.

They owe me some talk. It was unfair, and it's unfortunate. I stopped dragging the airline, and then they just kept getting in trouble by themselves. So I just, you know, I hope it gets remedied. I'm not trying to go to war. I just, I go to war for what's right. And that was definitely wrong. And I stood up for myself.

You know, I'm not a troublemaker. I talked to you. I'm not a troublemaker. I don't get in trouble. I'm not that dude. I don't get rowdy. If I get in a fight, I want you to know, I really felt threatened.

I really felt threatened. Because I know how to fight. You look like you bulked I really felt threatened because I know how to fight. You look like you bulked up too, man. I know how to fight. I do my Muay Thai. I can throw. So I'm only going to do it if I feel threatened or if you feel like my family's threatened.

Other than that, or you hit me. Now we got to fight. But other than that, I could walk away, man. I'd rather shake your hand and keep it love. Hey, man, it's all good. My bad.
