How are you, my brother?
I'm good, man.
Finally made it to you guys' podcast.
Finally, shit.
Nah, man, it's good to have you.
You know what I mean?
I remember them 7-Up commercials, bro.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, that was fun.
I ain't go to front.
That shit was fun as hell.
Yeah, those are huge.
Yeah, I didn't even, I remember when I auditioned for that shit.
That was when I was on It Factor.
That was a Bravo show for Bravo turn.
Bravo was, you know, Bravo was a fine arts film channel at first.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Before, and then our shit was like the first reality show.
It Factor was me, Jeremy Renner, Lisa Ray, and a bunch of other people.
And they just followed us around, New York, whatever.
And that's when I auditioned for that.
And then I got it on the show, but it wasn't planned at all.
Was Tyrese any inspiration to want to be in, like, total commercial?
Oh, they're singing?
Yeah.
No. Fuck, no.
I just audition.
They didn't even tell me what it was.
It was like, it's a soda thing, but then they can't tell you what the name is.
I was like, all right.
And so then I, like, went in and then I left.
I went to Spain.
No, I went to Amsterdam to do comedy.
Then went to Spain after that to hang out.
Raymond is lot.
Ryman is lot.
Ryman is lot.
Yeah.
That's Spanish.
Roman noodles.
It means Raymond is late.
Did you do Dutch?
Did you do Amsterdam?
No.
So this was kind of before.
This is like when I was just starting.
But like I guess in Amsterdam or the Netherlands in general,
they just fell in love with like stand-up comedy.
And they were bringing out all these like pretty much New York and Boston-based
comments.
And they would just go out there and you guys would perform and it would be on like the biggest
late show in the country.
Yeah.
By this guy named Ryman.
Ryman.
You're getting Ryman.
And he's from Suriname.
Suriname are like the black Dutch people.
Wow.
Yeah.
So he looks like a black guy, Asianatic.
He looks in, he's like every.
everything in his face.
But he would,
he was everything.
Yeah,
everything.
He looked like everybody.
Yeah,
you know,
like,
remember black?
It's black.
He's in the middle.
He's right here.
His own face.
He didn't turn all the way back yet.
It just,
it's black.
It's white.
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah.
That's his one face is the whole fucking video.
Yeah.
But yeah,
he would,
he was like the top comedian.
Yeah.
Of,
of Holland.
Yeah.
And we did his show,
man,
because these guys came in and say,
hey, we'd love you guys to come to Amsterdam
and do Dutch television.
And Tony Woods.
That's right.
Tony was out there.
Crazy.
Tony Wood's.
Have you seen Tony before?
You need to bring him on here.
Oh, Tony is a legend.
You got to bring him here.
Tony is.
When you see Chappelle, you see Tony Woods.
Oh, Chappelle is the guy.
I mean, Tony's the guy who inspired Chappelle.
Inspired Chappelle.
He was just on, but didn't Tiffany have him on.
Tiffany, he was with me.
Me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On the day ready, second.
He was Tony Woods.
Dean Edwards.
But Tony is, Tony is so interesting, like, watching him, like, set a tone in a room.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
It's just wild.
Like, you could literally, and I've seen him perform for, like, old people in the Bahamas.
Yep.
And just, like, kids down in the village.
It's amazing.
Same act.
Yeah.
Same tone is set.
He's telling stories.
And you're just sitting there, like, I could sit here for three hours.
Yeah.
Just tell me about the different parts of the world.
Tell me about your adventures there.
He's a very internet.
He was the first to take me.
and like Tony Rock overseas
and we were like wow

I don't even think Tony lives anywhere bro
I don't think he's just
always traveling man he's always traveling
and always somewhere
and talks in code

anybody speak Tony Woods
and you just got to listen to Tony

And then he runs off.
He goes, what's up?
And he goes, what's up?
He goes, what's so?
Hey, you see there, man?
What the, but you get it?
Tony's got to be close to 60.
Maybe a 57, 58.

Because we know we're cool.
We're wishing him.

But when he gets on stage, like we'll get on stage and go,
oh, what's up?
This motherfucker gets on stage and goes,

Because we'll go up there and go, what up, what up?
You know.
You're happy to be there.
Yeah, we're excited.
He goes,
I remember seeing Tony.
I think he put it on some special or something like that.
So I'm not giving away any of his material.
I saw him go up one time.
He was up there and he's just like, start.
He's not even talking.
He's looking around.
He's like, y'all start working right when you get to the job?
Right, right.
He goes, you guys don't start right away.
Bro, I'm like, the best opening.
Just badass.
Yeah, this is super rare to see two comics give it up.
Like, that's how special these guys are.
That's how special.
You talk about when you see craftsmanship,
you go fuck sculpture.
That's like sculpting type shit.
And I remember one time,
and Tony does like,
he's from the urban circuit.
I met him in Chicago.
But he'll do everything though.
He'll do anything.
He'll do anything.
But I've seen him in the New York urban,
like early 2000, late night.
It was urban circuit in New York was just Timberlins,
Pele, Pele.
Everybody's sick like this.
It was like, yo, what's up?
Yo, you ever see when you fucking a bitch in the ass?
Good night.
You give it up to my man cornbread.
That's my man, cornbread from Brooklyn.
Then the next dude, come up.
Yo, my man, high sauce.
Yo, you ever see another bitch when you're hitting that in the ass?
And then some shit come out of booty.
Good night.
Yo, give it up for my man, high sauce.
The next man, give it up for chicken win.
You, you ever see a bitch, you fucking eyeball?
Her eye fall in the toilet.
Good night.
You didn't do no stool, fucking.
Oh, yeah, I'm fucking a stool, right?
So I'm fucking a stew, right?
I'm hitting the guy, guy, guy, I'm flipping the store.
Bam, bam, bam.
It's not even the girl.
And this is, and cats are like this.
Oh, so you see is timbrelids in the air.
Pele, Pele jackets.
And you smell like a gypset oil.
And jigs with hats, everybody looked like Raqim.
And motherfuckers are like, yo.
And then after all that, everybody's screaming at the top of their fucking lungs,
Tony Woods comes out.
After 700 comics, because there's 700 on the flyer.
Yeah, but you know, those urban shows, it'd be like the collages.
And then Tony Woods would be in the back, like.
And Tony Woods.
He'll get on stage.
Everybody after Kool-Aid, cornbread, chicken wing.
Hot sauce.
Nobody has their regular names.
And Tony Woods, after all those names, Wildcat, Big Head,
fuck no, hell no, all their names.
Tony Woods.
And Tony Woods, after all that chaotic shit,
I've been to these shows, he'll go,
hey, what's up, everybody?
give it up for all the other comedians
and he just came here, you know.
A lot of energy, man.
A lot of energy.
See, everybody was that?
He said, me?
I'm going, who.
Murders.
It destroys the room.
I go, you talk about mastery.
Yeah.
That's my big brother, man.
That's our big brother pretty much.
That dude is fucking master.
Salute the Tony.
Andrews said something earlier, man.
I never even thought about it.
But comedian, I didn't know.
That you all.
set tones.
I just thought
the objective was I just
want to go out there
and make people laugh.
No, it's like boxing.
It's like when I would,
when I first would go to the,
I remember going to Pachial's gym
with Adam Hunter
in when I was in LA.
Wild card.
Wild car gym right over that
the laundry mat.
That's what I loved.
It was so grimy.
And so I was going,
yeah,
you know,
uh,
fucking Roach.
Freddie Roach.
Freddie Roach.
Freddie Roach, his brother,
Pepper Roach.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I go.
I go in there, you know, and I was like, I'm going to go in.
The guy goes, hey, and all the boxing, the dudes that coach, they've been, they're, they boxed.
Yeah.
By the way they talk, they said, hey, you want to do some mitts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man, go in there and shit.
You know, James Tony is there.
James Tony.
There's Pocky.
I've seen all this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're watching these great fighters, and I'm thinking, yeah, I'm going to do some Mitz
and shit, you know.
I go in there.
My idea of boxing in my head, I haven't,
I didn't martial arts.
But I haven't boxed boxed.
I think you boxed, right?
A little bit.
Yeah.
I'm boxing in my head.
What I watched from Ali, you know, I go in there and he goes, all right, this is what
you're going to do.
Okay.
We're going to go boom, boom, right.
Jab, jab, boom, right.
Jab, right.
And then, oh.
So I was like, so I started right away doing this.
I started bouncing.
And I started going, he goes, what fuck are you doing?
I said, what are you doing?
What the fuck is that?
And I go, and all the boxers join his toes like,
yo, hey, comedian, the fuck you do it?
They're all making fun of me.
Why are you doing this?
I say, but isn't that what you do in the boxing?
That's what, that's, I hear you guys punching like that.
So I was, he goes, listen, you, you're not a fucking boxing.
They're just breathe normal.
He's like, oh, he goes, and the guy goes, hey, this.
You hear that?
I'm getting embarrassed
so I'm like fuck
so I got my gun
he goes
all you do
just breathe normal
bang bang bang
so I start bouncing
he goes
what the fuck are you doing
I go wait like
he's like
you're not Ali
Ali was a freak of nature
he's like you're like a heavyweight
all you do
keep your head here
what the fuck is this
and I go
oh
and then I'm hitting the back
bam bam
he goes
you hit like a bitch
let's do that over
I was like
what
he got all the muscle
man, the motherfucker can't do shit.
And they're like this.
And so I'm punching.
They go, punch with your legs.
I'm like, what the fuck do I punch with my legs?
How do you punch with your legs?
It's, it's, you're coming off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your hips.
Okay.
And remember, I'm coming in watching TV for years.
Watching a rioting.
Right.
Yeah.
Punch with your legs.
Yeah, you're like, these guys are like,
drop your goddamn.
And then I go, boom, and they go,
hooray, he did it.
And you hear the dip.
And I go, oh, and it's such a real science.
That is how people approach, like you were talking about with comedy.
You were like, I thought people just, it's a, comedy's a real science, bro.
Yeah.
It ain't no guessing.
People think it's a guess.
Fuck no.
It is a craft.
It's just like boxing.
People approach comedy like they will approach boxing.
Like, yeah, it's all just arms.
It's your legs.
It's the small movements.
It's just like in comedy.
The nuances.
And if you do it right, then.
people think that they can do.
It's like,
it's like Ali,
like Ali was so natural
that you see people mimicking Ali
and they'll just start doing that thing
where they're like skipping around the ring
and moving the hands,
but it's like the amount of training he had to do
to be able to have his footwork like that.
Yes.
I would never understand that though.
I would never understand how somebody can be so great at something,
so good,
so naturally gifted,
but inspire everybody else who want to do it.
Bro, it is,
it's almost wild disrespectful.
Like,
you ever do a show you,
like,
hilarious thing I've ever seen.
I'm going to try that.
That's not what this is for.
What are you mean?
Or they go like, I love this one when they do this after a show.
They go, man, blah, blah, blah.
They're talking and then they say something funny.
They go, you can use that.
I go, I'm not ever going to use it.
Fuck out of here.
Fuck I look like.
I'm never going to use that.
See that?
Andrew is more, that's why I love Andrew shows.
Andrew goes in the audience and smashes on motherfuckers.
Andrew is such a great
crowd where him,
Jay Ogerson,
there's guys that master
I'm more of just
I just do my material
but I'll fuck with him
but I'll talk to him

Andrew goes hey you

He goes, no, I just want to know the time.
I go, I just told you the fucking time.

You better ask about me.
You better ask.
My boy lives in this building.
So I'm going to ask, ask you.
You know what the fuck?
You know what's so funny?
You got to set a tone in the neighborhood.
You got to set a tone, man.
It's my neighborhood, bro.
If I'm walking a doodle on the street, I'm going to be respected.
My doodle, baby.
Got the doodle in the hand.
You know, I got the doodle in the hand, baby.
Nah, me, ain't doing me.
Yo, it's just like in Nyak.
We were just in Nyack.
We did Levity Live.
Artie was with me.
And so, man, we're so hungry.
We're at McDonald's.
We're like, fuck, this is you going to McDonald's.
What he said?
Artie who?
Artie, um, Fuqua.
I was like, Artie Lang.
I was like, no, Artee-Wa.
Yeah, yeah.
And Keem Woods.
And we're like there just, just this weekend.
And we're starving, man.
So he's like, this shit's going to McDonald's.
Fuck that.
Boom, we go to McDonald's.
Dude's taking our order.
Man, I hope you.
We're like ordering.
And then he just goes, man, y'all take him too long, man.
The fuck, man.
Like, in the thing.
I was like, we're starving.
Yo, the guy in the speaker, we're like,
you know, Artie is temper.
He's like, man, the motherfucker.
And we're in the line still.
So we're like, wait until we get to this motherfucker, man.
Make sure you get your food for it.
I was like, Artie, don't smash.
And so people are hung up.
And Artie's like telling another car,
yo, shut the fuck up.
Yeah, yeah.
The motherfucker skipped us.
And you hear his voice on the other side
because he skipped us and went to another customer.
We're like, this motherfucker, man.
And it was like, yo.
And we pulled up to him.
dude looked like he just got our jail.
We were like, hey, man.
We were about to snap.
Like, you said, I was like,
nah, nah, we good.
You ever see him over and look like you'll whoop your ass?
Like, oh, yo, my man, what happened?
You got nothing to lose, bro.
Yeah, he's like, this.
You always take him too long, son.
My bad, but you almost take me.
Yeah, we were.
Why that's just so long to all that McDonald's, though?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It was just, I don't know.
It was just, I don't know.
It's niac.
It's not you.
It's not me.
Because you know what you want.
It's not like, you're like, um, what the fuck?
So what is the tone?
What is the tone comedians try to spend?
I think it's like people that come to see him are people with his same kind of mentality, people that come to see me.
Manic energy.
It's like, look at any comedian.
Like, you can always ask the waitstaff.
They go, okay, when this person comes in, I don't take that shift because they're the most rowdy motherfuckers.
Because they match the comedian.
Like you say like a Burke Chrysher
That's one of my dudes for a long time
Yeah everybody looks like Burke
Yeah
They look bearded heavy stuff
But they love working the bird shift
Because when he was doing the clubs
He would do that thing at the end
Where he would do a money or something
It was a tip jar
Where like the people in the crowd would beat
The tip
So it's like if you put in five
Someone put in 10
And then there'd be all this money
He just give it to the weight of staff
Yeah
So the way staff would walk out
Paying their fucking rent for the month
Yeah he's a nice
guy. Yeah, he's a great dude.
And he's, but people that if he comes, they look like him.
Bearded, happy guys.
The cigarette.
Everybody matches there.
Like my, my,
either aesthetic or energy.
Your aesthetic or energy, they kind of, yeah, you kind of bring.
So that tone, you set, like, or if you're an MC, you set the tone in the room, too.
You could fuck the tone up or you can keep it like, all right, let's keep it moving.
It's my man coming up.
Or you can ruin the shit.
Yo, this next motherfucker.
Yeah, yeah.
Now you've got to dig yourself out.
Yeah, yeah.
I just feel like, at least with comedy,
like the people that I've always look up to,
it's like when they're on stage,
not only do they like set a tone with an energy,
they set a tone was right and wrong.
So there are certain comics they're on stage,
and they might say a joke,
and that makes the audience feel uncomfortable
because they didn't set the tone
for that joke to be okay.
Right.
But the comics...
Interesting.
You know what I'm saying?
But the comics that we look up to,
we admire, at least I assume,
don't let me speak for you,
but like, they go up there,
and then anything they say is okay
because it's a reflection of what they've allowed
to be okay in the space.
They own the space.
Yeah.
And as you get more successful,
like the people have an expectation
that's coming to your show
to see what you do.
Which is awesome.
I love that.
Like I didn't like in the beginning
having to flip all these people
and get them to understand who I am in three minutes
so I could do 12 minutes of jokes.
Like, you know, you want to work towards this thing
where you're able to create the artist you want to create.
Right.
But it's like, yeah,
that's what I've always wanted to do.
It was like, what is it tongue?
Everything that I'm talking about, I'm joking about, in this moment while I'm on stage, is okay.
When you go back to your job, that shit might not be okay.
Right.
You felt it in the room, like, when we did Radio City, like, even afterwards, you were telling me, like, I don't know how we were laughing and some of the shit we were laughing at.
But now it makes sense.
We came to see Andrew Shultz.
But he built that to make it okay.
Exactly.
We built it.
It's like, you've got to go through the scrutiny to make it okay.
That's right.
In the beginning, it's going to be scrutinized when people don't know about you.
And then eventually.
they don't give a fuck.
They can start to go, oh, that's what he does.
That's what he does.
And one of the things that, like, I have at least,
everybody is reflected in my crowd.
So if I'm talking about you, you're there.
There are certain people, if their crowd just looks like them,
they can't really talk about people that aren't there,
at least in a critical way,
because people start going, well, I feel uncomfortable laughing
at someone who ain't in the room.
But if we talk about Middle Eastern people and they're right fucking there,
it's hard to be offended on behalf of the people laughing.
Especially if you see them laughing too.
Right, right.
That's what you, that's the goal, man.
You want people to come for you.
Like, I come to see this motherfucker.
Yeah.
I know what I'm here for.
And that's, you build on that.
But you build that too.
Like, yeah.
I think that that's something that maybe that's why comedians have always resonated with you.
It's like there's a tone you sit on breakfast club.
It made things okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That you would say the wildest shit or the funniest fucking things.
Like, and it was Charlemagne, so it was okay.
That's a tone set.
If any tried to say some of them jokes, it wouldn't work.
Right.
Right.
The baby, the baby thing, fuck me.
That was the best.
What was he the baby?
No, I'm sorry.
Birdman.
Oh, Birdman.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of babies out there.
He goes, yeah.
Yeah, little baby, spat babies.
Thank you, baby.
All kinds of babies.
You came in, gang, I was going to run up.
And he's like, wow, that's weird.
You're getting run up on Rick Ross, did you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was like, fuck.
It was like, Charlemaine's that.
Dude.
And you, and you fucked him up.
He's like,
but yeah
you know
that was like that
that was just like
okay it's eight of them
yeah
but you make the way
you feel really bad
about putting hands
on me to do it
the way you
the way you
handle it though
it was like
that you
that's a tone setting
like
I'm just the radio guy
fuck are you doing
like that was like
whoa
I thought when
I thought the funniest shit
I'm sure
you acknowledge it
by now
but this was tone
setting for me
yeah
was the dolls
in the background
do you know about
the dolls
like voodoo dogs
No, there was an NV doll and a Charlemagne bobblehead doll in the background of the set.
And they would be in gay sex positions every single.
What the fuck?
They put them there and they never acknowledged it, but they would put them in a different for months.
And they never acknowledged it.
It was the comments.
We're going crazy.
You know, they're 69 in the back.
Who's doing this?
And then the booty.
Remember the booty he made it?
Oh, yeah, we had the booty.
But for me, I'm watching this and I'm like, you know, the hip-hop is just coming around to gay jokes being funny.
You know what I mean?
Like it took a while
and now it's coming around
but you guys did that
and you leaned in
and it became hilarious
and it was like
because you set a tone
that that's hilarious
there's certain people
that aren't going to be able
to get away with that
in your position.
I really was just being an asshole
just because I know
it pisses people off
you know we got that
hip hop audience
that'll watch that
and be like
oh they're pushing an agenda
I told you there
and your Lama Monagie
okay
that's why all of this stuff
keeps happening good for them
because they're pushing
the gay agenda
I just really do
just the fuck with people.
Right, of course.
I'm telling you, bro, like, there's, like,
there's a version of, like,
there's a version of black people
and a version of, like, extreme white conservatives
that have all the exact same views.
You know, exactly?
Bro.
You need to, like, broker a peace treaty?
Absolutely.
It's true.
I ain't taking a vaccine.
I'm telling you.
If there was no labels,
people didn't have their tribe
that they was already dealt with,
and they just actually listen to each other.
to each other.
They'd be like, oh, shit.
We are the same.
Yeah, yeah.
I get what you say.
I remember when the, what the, I think that it was like the Nazis got with the nation of Islam.
And they were like, yeah, we don't want to be around you either.
Yeah, let's do this.
And they were like, wait a minute.
No.
Yeah.
They were like this.
The nation is like, because they were like, the nation is like, no, let's have a meeting.
They met together.
And they were all the Muslims like, this is perfect.
We don't like you.
You don't like us.
We believe that we should have a separate place.
I love this.
They were like, well.
Yeah.
Yes.
We don't.
Good.
But they fucked them up because black people were like, yeah.
We don't want to be around you.
We want our own shit.
They're like, well, hold up.
No, motherfucker.
It's it.
You don't want us?
But then they come and fuck it all up.
It's like, what?
It's actually the same message.
They wanted separation, not segregation.
Right.
And that's what the white supremacists wanted.
They wanted separation, not segregation.
The white supremacists are watching like, this dude's spitting right now.
Where they want to go?
Africa or something.
It's like, and when we ever, whenever we say that, yeah, black people, we want our own shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, hold on now.
No, we want our own shit.
I don't think there's anything around that.
I always say segregation was a great concept that was poorly executed.
Poorly executed.
It shouldn't have been based on race.
Right.
Should have been based on, I think it should be based on behavior.
That's true.
I think you should be based on athletic.
I mean, if we fuck what you like behavior.
Hold on.
It should be based on.
It's fire.
How good do white people need to dance in order to go to the black political ability?
It's not even about good or bad behavior.
It's just about do we have the same type of mind?
It should be based on handshakes.
Come on, bro.
Like, oh, yeah, y'all ain't staying here, man.
Fuck out of here.
You know, you got to audition like you.
You need to audition.
I don't think you can belong in this town.
There'll always be that one white dude like,
Yeah, I'm looking for Chuck.
I'm looking for two motherfuckers.
Get over there.
Yeah, come on.
Shit.
But Chet would be in the neighborhood.
Yeah.
Right?
I don't like saying that bite it to the cookout, but he'd be in the neighborhood.
Yeah, of course.
You know what I'm saying?
Of course.
And who's standard are we basing it off?
Yeah.
Oh, that's the other thing.
Whose behavioral standard are we basing it up?
Oh.
All right.
Go is your idea.
But that's why I said for me, it'd be about like minds.
Ah, yes.
Like minds.
If it's a hundred of us who, we fuck with each other, we die for each other, we believe.
that we believe in these certain things?
You're going to set up shop over here?
Man.
You all set up to what?
Now, what if the women don't disagree, but they're beautiful?
If the women don't agree, hold on.
The women don't agree, but they're beautiful.
They're not like-minded, but they're absolutely beautiful.
I'm married, bro.
Black men don't cheat.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, shit.
What about the other black guys that are going to be on your island?
I'm saying an asshole.
I wouldn't have no single guys there.
It'd only be married men.
I heard that shit.
People don't hang out.
You know, this loser.
You're married, you're both married men.
You're both married men.
That's right.
That's a recipe for disaster.
They're both married, man.
It is true.
I don't want to be married.
Also, you know what I hate since I'm married?
Anybody goes, my partner grew up.
Oh, my God.
Grow the fuck up, dude.
Yeah, it's like.
No, it is.
That's the new political.
What do you say?
The old battle acts.
Let me tell you about the old battle acts.
And a little fucking battle ex.
She's fucking yapping again.
She's fucking yapping again.
Jesus Christ.
The old battle X is yapping.
Let me go to the groceries
Throw the old
Badalax's uncle
Dude that's funny
That was if white comedians
Had cool names in the 80s
Yeah
Oh, battle acts
He's giving up for Battleax
Yeah, I gotta get out of
You old battleaxes, yes
And the old
Hague is howling
I gotta get out of here
And I love this lady
I mean
I think the term partner yo
You know
It's just wet
He's like get married bro
And it's not like
It's not specific enough
Partner in what?
Huh?
Partner and what?
My partner.
My partner.
Yeah, call him your roommate.
You don't even get to say partner.
That's your fucking roommate, bro, until you grow up like an adult and get married.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Yeah, you got to go through this shit too.
You're my man's, you're right here.
You're my man's.
You're my man's.
That's how New York is called it girls.
Yeah, that's my man's right there.
That's my done right there.
That's my mom.
Well, it is 2022.
They do have a man.
The old lady might be his man.
That might be his man.
That's facts, bro.
I don't know what.
I don't know what you should identify as.
I love it.
Yo, what, I'm binary, you know what I mean, doing things.
Binary, sys.
By the shit.
By the way.
If you're for nothing with a Z, it's gender, it's not gender specific anyway.
What you mean?
My man's.
My man's can be anything.
My man's.
My man's.
That's true.
Transgender.
Man, man is in woman.
So that's how fucked up men are.
We fucked all their shit up.
We in their name.
Woman.
Yeah, we still here.
You know what I'm here?
Can't leave us.
We still here.
Blue man.
You better change that.
You got to change it to war.
Man is right there.
Women haters.
They're going to win.
Women.
Man, we're in there again.
Plural.
We're always in that.
We're always in that.
Moolfugger, man.
That would be binary.
Oh man, that's two, right?
I don't know binary.
Man, don't fucking, man.
Terms.
What y'all said about,
I don't know about terms.
By the way, what y'all said about people showing up?
What's you say?
What's you say?
What's you say?
What's you said?
What's y'all said about people showing up places is exactly why I hate
outrage culture, right?
What you mean?
Because I know what's happening at an Andrew show.
I know what's happening at a Godfrey show.
Yeah, yeah.
Why would I go just to be a fairer?
it.
Because that's why I keep telling people about January 6th.
It's like, that was our shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that was for us,
bro.
I had nothing to do with y'all.
Y'all was so upset about it.
You know what I was there with my man's and them, you know?
Low key, though.
Low key, low key.
Yo, the boys can't kill them together.
Listen, low key, low key,
January 6th, there's a, there's a lot of,
there's a lot of envy that
because if anybody
should have snapped a long time ago
and did something like that,
it's black people.
Word. You know what I'm looking at it like
but see if we had the community
we all were on the same page
about shit. I don't fuck with this government either.
We would all rushed it. We would all rush it
but we would have been the first because we were faster.
Y'all would have been there quick. Y'all had been on a fifth.
We would have been sprinting it in all white dudes
be like, come on, guys.
Damn you guys are fast.
It would have looked segregated.
We would go by speed.
You know there will always be that one white lightning guy
keeping up.
Damn, this guy's fat.
Two groups of people completely separated.
Now would make this why we call it a race.
Yes.
Yars.
Yars.
Yars scream.
Yars.
Where are women at?
How long are we taking this slow asses is get this?
The reason why people come to comedy club
knowing that they what they're in for because
being offended is a hobby now.
No, it's a job.
It's a job, it's their thing.
Right.
It's like, go.
And it's like narcissism, man.
It's at a level, man.
Yeah.
I don't like that the fuck up.
And that's the beautiful thing about comedy.
You go, oh, shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
How about that?
That's the beautiful thing about comedy.
You can tell someone to shut the fuck up and knock it fire.
Yeah, I saw everybody.
Fuck up.
And get money for that.
word up, no, for real.
Shut the fuck up, and they're painting, going, that was great.
Have you ever had a moment?
He's amazing.
Like, when you told that girl, she has a big forehead, yo, here's your money, man.
Good job.
Come back next to.
All the people around, that was the greatest thing I was.
You ever have moments on stage where you're like, yo, this is wild.
We get to do this.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
You start philosophizing a little bit on stage.
That's a dangerous thing to do even on stage because you're,
realize how silly this whole thing is?
It's so silly.
Right.
It's the whole process of a motherfucker's coming into a room to ha ha and go home.
Don't even think about it.
They just want to go.
We need to.
No, we need you.
So they can go home.
You want to go home now?
Yeah.
And that shit and you don't know me.
And I'm like, I got some funny shit to tell you.
That's why there's things that like.
It's amazing.
It don't make sense.
but when it feels good it does, like, there's something about, like, exercise fucking sucks.
And then afterwards, you're like, I'm so glad I did it.
That's how I look at, like, laughing, even with friends or a comedy show.
Like, you go there.
And some people, you think you're, oh, this is this philosophical point of view about whatever.
Like, if they give you them philosophical points of view and they don't make you laugh, you're not happy.
You're not leaving like, man, I really got some philosophy.
You're angry.
You're what I'm saying?
But if you get that laugh out, that fucking cathartic moment, there's something to happen.
If these motherfuckers ain't giggling, imagine.
This motherfucker didn't make me giggle, man.
I'm pissed.
I'm fucking mad.
Like, you don't make me...
I don't get that.
I like a good bombing now.
I'm not going to lie.
Oh, Charlemagne loves a bomb.
You like...
You like, Sean, man.
I do.
I like a good mom.
He's a comic, bro.
I'm telling you, he's a comic.
He's a comic.
Deep down and deep down and...
Because most civilians, they hate seeing a bomb.
Charlomey sees a bomb, and he gets bricked up.
Just watching that.
He's so fucking happy.
I like...
I like the...
There was one car.
I like when comics that are...
I like when hacks bomb.
I like when comics
that think they're shit
with a hacky shit bomb
this dude did it on my show
I let him on my show
let him do a couple minutes
he rocked
he rocked his little
it was hacky as fuck
he did all right
he did cool
first then he was real confident
can I get on the show again
you know what I'm saying
and we was like yeah cool
you go and he was like
man I don't know if certain cast
can follow me
I was like oh
he said that
he I was like
he just came out of the blue
and said that about one comic
another comic was going to go on
He goes, you sure you want to go after me?
Whoa.
He went up and ate his dick and we enjoyed it.
He, and he was, and you know when you do well?
Yo, yo, you know when you, you know when you, you know when you do well, you stay, you hang around the club?
Yeah, he was out.
Oh, he's like, I got.
I got another gig.
I got another gig.
Yeah.
Why don't you go wash out your dry mouth.
You jackass.
You're fuck out.
Here's some water for that dry mouth.
He's like, I got to go.
I was like, yeah, here's some water for that fucking cotton mouth.
You're.
Bomb, beat it.
Damn.
Yeah. Yeah, I love, I enjoy that.
When I see hacks, but yeah.
Because let me be, I'm gonna be real honest.
Yeah.
it's just, it's just too much mediocrity and comedy to me.
I think it's a lot of TED Talks.
A lot of fucking TED Talks.
a 10x thing and we won't expect
no punchlines. Cool. Yeah. But don't
fucking come to a comedy club and you're
just fucking talking and where's
the fucking punchline? You're going to
tell me we did it wrong? You remember
tell me Carlin did it wrong? Codney did it wrong. Prior did it wrong.
Joel Rivers did it wrong. All these
Bertie Mac didn't wrong. No, they did not.
I think a lot of people are watching Chappelle's
last 30 minutes of his show.
So they'll watch him.
You'll go to Chappelle's show and you'll see the show.
And you back, I want to recreate. That's the punchline. We're doing the
show's over.
Chappelle will stick around.
Oh, yeah.
And do 30 minutes, 40 minutes and just
30, 40?
20.
Two hours.
I know the show is over, but it's still,
I want to bring my friends.
That's what I'm saying.
On stage.
When you saw what he did.
I want my friends to sing some songs.
We got John Mayer.
He's going to think so.
That's guy, bro.
Then we got some other people.
Oh, shit.
Got another pet.
Talib Kualiz.
And we got some other people.
We got a whole bunch.
We're going to have a whole concert.
And after the concert, I'll do another.
hour because I can't leave.
Without all.
It would just be me talking.
I heard from Gnome at the comedy cellar.
He gave you a great compliment.
He goes, you know, Daryl Hammond, S&L.
Hell yeah.
He goes, Daryl Hammond would work his impressions for like weeks to try to get them down.
He'd work them.
He'd go up at the cellar.
He'd work them out.
He'd be tweaking things trying to do.
He goes, Godfrey would hear somebody once and do a better impression than Daryl.
That's a gift, man.
Like if you didn't even work in it, it feels like
And I got rejected by SNL three times
You know what I said
I remember my first
My first auditioned SNL
Why did you never get SNL man?
I'm sorry to understand
What's funny is
Darrell Hammond ended up telling me why
You're saying
I well when I first did it
It was me Tracy Morgan
Kevin Jane
There was a bunch of Jimmy Fallon
It was all of us
And we're at the comic street
And they was like, you need four characters and four impersonations.
Yep.
So I did some characters and shit.
I did impersonations.
Then I added an extra impersonation just at top that bitch.
I did Johnny Carson because I'm a black dude doing Carson.
I was like, wow, did not know that.
Good stuff.
I had a standing ovation my first audition.
I'm coming from Chicago.
I grew up watching Eddie Murphy.
I'm thinking, I might get this shit.
I got a standing ovation, bro.
didn't even make it to the second round.
Wow.
What happened?
They ended up picking Tracy.
I didn't make it to the second round.
And everybody's like...
So they weren't going for impressions, son?
No.
No, they told me what I needed to do.
They gave you the instruction.
Yeah, but that's the same for everything.
Maybe it was a casting thing because Tracy, they're going for character, right?
Tracy's always playing Tracy.
Right.
But I just don't understand even after that.
But then, I would the one new black edit at a time.
Yeah.
What is this rule you speak of?
what it probably
What is going on over here?
What is when you speak up for the past hundred years?
What is all of this?
You'll take what we give you.
It's an issue-
My baby, baby, baby, please don't let me down.
Okay.
I'm saying with Tom and Jerry.
So years later,
I'm doing this table read with Colin Quinn.
Yes.
Me, him, racial sans,
Tracy Morgan's there.
It's like at the studio and Collin needed a favor for me.
Yeah.
And I was like, he goes, I need you to read some of these characters.
You know, I know you can do these characters.
I need anything.
You know, I have fucking, I'm crazy.
I was like, all right.
He's like, play a Dominican, Russian, boom.
So I did all the accents.
Boom, I'm just doing my shit.
I'm just helping him out.
Yeah.
Because Adam Sandler is supposed to produce this film, he wrote.
And then I see Marcy Klein.
I didn't know who she was.
Marcy Klein, Calvin Klein's daughter, who was the,
she was the person that got everybody into the mom, into SNL.
Gotcha.
It was Marcy Klein.
Yeah.
So I didn't know who fuck this lady was.
I was just sitting there reading.
And this lady, blonde lady, he's like, who are you?
Who are you?
I was like, oh, God, I'm just here reading.
She goes, I need your information.
And I'm like, who the fuck is this lady?
Yeah.
He goes, that's fucking Marcy Gleyn.
That's Marcy Gleyn.
She gets people in on, she's the podcasting for S&O.
I was like, oh, she goes, the way you're transitioning out of these accent.
She's, I need your information.
I was like, okay.
I was William Morrison time.
And I said, okay, fuck it.
And then I gave information, never got in return, nothing back.
Nothing back.
And I was like, okay, this is not for me.
And then there was a guy named Tishon Shannon.
He was a writer for S&L.
He used to be a seller guy.
And he was a writer for S&L.
And he was like trying to get me to audition again.
I go, dude, I've been rejected.
They don't fuck with me.
I was like, why are you?
I'm not doing it.
Then Jamie Massada, you know, from Laugh Factory.
Yep.
He calls me.
And he goes, Jamie Massada owns Laugh Factory in L.A.
He owns a bunch of Lafactor.
But he goes, buddy, he's,
from Persian. He's a Persian Jewish
cat that has the worst accent.
He's been there in America, 50 years,
and his accent still fucked up.
He's like, buddy, you have to come audition
for Esnal. Body, I need you to audition.
I fly you out to L.A. body.
You can do it. I know you can do it.
You have to body. I said,
Jamie, I'm not doing it. I've already
even reject, fuck all that shit.
That's when they gave it to Phenness Mitchell
that year. I didn't audition.
So, Darrell Hammond comes up to me
and say, you know, Daryl doesn't
talk to a lot of people.
Yeah.
It's always to himself.
But he always talked to me.
He goes,
Godfrey,
I just wanted,
I've been wanting to tell you this shit
for a fucking while.
I said,
what's up?
He goes,
I was there at your audition that,
that night you got that
standing ovation.
Nobody could follow that after that.
You decimated the whole place.
I said,
he goes,
but I knew you weren't going to get it.
I was like,
what do you mean?
He said,
I knew you weren't going to get that shit.
You just,
they didn't want to see
that Eddie Murphy shit again.
Oh.
What does that mean?
He kept it 100 with me.
Like they didn't want somebody to have that type of success again?
They didn't want.
The show is the star.
The show is the star.
Not he told me this.
He goes at this.
I'm telling you as a white man who's been on the show a long time.
Yeah.
I'm telling you.
And I didn't ask him to tell me this shit.
This is at the bar at the cellar.
He goes,
I've always been wanting to tell you that.
I'm sure you always wanted closure on that.
I say, damn, man.
I've always wondered.
I just knew.
I said, I knew anytime
even explain what you mean by that for people.
He said, but explain what he meant by that.
He said, you would just outshine.
It would be an outshining type of thing
and they're not into that.
Because Eddie Murphy literally.
I mean, yeah, he's a lightning bolt, though.
He was the greatest.
But at the time, it was like a different producer,
Dick Ebersaw.
And I think SNL was in like third place.
And then when Eddie got there,
went straight to number one.
And Eddie was the only cast member
that hosted while he was on the show.
I mean, think about that.
He was the only one.
Imagine hosting the show you're already on.
You're already on and he hosted it.
That's respect.
That's respect.
Because Eddie was that cold.
Yeah.
And As well,
you understand it,
that's part of the legend of S&L,
the fact that they churned out
so many superstars.
Yeah, yeah.
But this is what Daryl told me.
I mean, I was like,
but I had closure.
I was like, so he goes,
there's so many levels to this.
He just wanted to tell me that.
There's people above Lauren Michael, too.
I said, oh, yeah.
And he was just breaking it down to me.
And I go, he's been on the show for the damn 15 years.
He told that shit to me.
But you can live with that.
At least there was glad I said, but I already knew that wasn't my thing.
It wasn't going to happen.
So, yeah, it was weird because he was like, how are you not on a sketch?
But shout out to Michael Chey and him like hooking me up.
Oh, I was able to do stuff.
I did the first thing.
I did the one thing with you.
Remember it was a party scene?
Yeah, it was in that too, but I watched you.
I did the Steve Harvey.
I did the Steve Harvey.
I'm in prosthetics.
Oh my God.
I wanted them to let you go more though.
Your ass survey said I'm told your ass.
Your ass stupid.
That's what I told you.
Like dumb ass.
That shit was so funny.
Man, Michael Chey, man.
Shout out to Michael Chey.
He got his shows out now on HBO.
HBO Mac.
And I did first season.
I did two really good sketches.
That damn Michael Chee.
That damn Michael Chee.
I didn't mean to.
I bet I never watched it before.
Right.
I was going to watch the second season, but I must have started on the first season and didn't realize it.
And the episodes are so quick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, yo, Chey's show is very good.
And Chey, very good.
Loves just talent and people shining.
And like, and a shout out to Nick Cannon, too, man.
Yeah.
I've been doing, I didn't want to do Wiling Out because I was like, oh, that ain't for me, dude.
He goes, dude, are you out of your fucking mind?
You've got to do Wiling Out.
So I've done season 16, 17.
I just did 18s coming out June 21st.
And he goes, dude, we set it up for you to do
to impersonate all that shit.
Shout out to fucking Nick Cannon
because Nick likes to see people shine.
He's just like, he goes, I'm a boss, bro.
He goes, I don't, I don't, I'm intimidated.
I like to get better.
I love talented people.
It makes me better because that he always wants to learn.
He's like, yo, how do you,
I was writing for his daytime talk show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How much of this do you think has to do with like,
you building up your star online.
Yes.
Because I think that plays a role as well.
But you were one of the people that kicked me in the ass.
Yeah.
When you,
I remember when Andrew Schultz,
when you grew with a bigger mustache,
you were tired of shit.
When your mustache was bigger and you were mad.
He had to pull his ass.
Remember we had the same manager,
Jordan Tilser?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was with,
Shouts of Jordan.
Roar, yeah.
And I had bigged your name.
I said,
what do you think about Andrews?
I said,
Oh, no, Andrew's dope.
He's coming, man.
That motherfucker's coming.
We had the same as for a second.
And I remember we did, what's the hockey thing we did?
Oh, Benders.
We did Benders.
I was the goalie, dude.
With Chrissy D.
Yeah, I was the goalie.
It was Serpico and those guys.
That's Dennis Lering, and they always picked me for shit.
Yeah, yeah.
And I remember, there was a period where he just had a big ass mustache.
Yeah.
And Andrew was just fucking done.
Yeah, Andrew was tired of the fucking face.
business.
He was like this.
And I go, we were at the bar.
It's always at that comedy
cellar bar.
He goes,
yo,
what's up?
He goes,
fuck these people, man.
I'm not waiting on these
motherfuckers.
I'm not waiting.
He goes,
hey, let me get two more
bourbon and shit.
I'm not waiting on these
motherfuckers.
He goes, dude,
I'm putting my shit up
on my own,
blah, blah.
Yeah.
I got a guy.
If you,
I got a guy.
You need the guy to boom
start doing that.
He said, fuck these dudes.
We can do this shit ourselves.
That was about four or five years
ago.
I remember you were like,
Like, fuck all of it.
And then that's when his shit wagg.
And hard work.
And I was like, look at what Andrew's doing.
Andrew told me that she goes, dude, Godfrey, you need to fucking start doing that.
Burke Chrysler was like, I remember I did Burke Christch.
He goes, bro, you got to do your podcast.
You got to do a podcast, Godfrey.
I can do bird.
He's like, you can do a podcast.
Godfrey, he's like, you got to do a podcast.
Dude, you got to do a podcast.
Godfrey, I've known you for a fucking long time.
It doesn't make any sense that you're not fucking.
I'm telling you.
You got to do a podcast.
Seriously.
And then I saw what happened.
And you,
yeah,
just they,
pow,
in the ass.
But I knew for you,
what was going to happen
is that,
like,
things were going to pop online.
And I'd be on YouTube,
and I'd see you start to,
like,
a clip would go viral.
You'd get a bunch of views
on a clip or something like that.
And then what happens is,
like,
when these shows are casting,
they can't not think about you
because you're in the ether.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
When you got nothing on,
you're the funny guy
that they're seeing crush
with the seller, maybe they catch him on the road, but like, you're not in the conversation when
they're casting for a thing. But once they see you do Steve Harvey, of course, Jay, well,
Chey already knows because you guys know each other for the seller, but like a Nick Cannon,
who you might not even have a relationship, they're like, no, this is fucking hilarious. We need
to get him on the thing. We'll even change part of the show so you can do it. You're just
in the conversation because the conversation is on YouTube. You spark ideas and other people.
And it was really, um, the pandemic, I really took advantage of that shit. Pandemic, you know,
everybody's at home
and I was listening to Dame Dash
I was listening to Dave Dash on one of his
lives and you know Dame
Dave Dave is like you either take him or you can
Yeah and Dave goes and the guy goes
So man yo Sean what you're going to do
He goes the fuck you think I'm gonna do
Fuck you think he's like
You know everybody's at home right now
All right? The creators are running this shit
If you ain't doing shit every day
On the motherfucking line you're fucking cornball
You don't fuck that man
You're supposed to be every day I'm gonna be a motherfucker
fucking space is creating.
This is our fucking time.
Man, I took that shit.
I was online every single night for two years.
Never missed a live.
I'll be on there five hours.
Be on there from 12 to fucking five in the morning.
Collected fans.
Nas DMs me.
Nas DMs me.
My favorite.
Nah.
Yes.
It's not Lilik.
No.
You can have that.
Okay.
I think he's funny.
I like to.
I liked his interview.
I liked his interview.
He's actually a normal kid
that's fucking with people.
That's just that when you olden
and you say naws around certain people
that you did me.
My nahs.
Not see it, right.
And he called me,
he'd DM me.
And some dude, you know,
I'm on live and some dudes like this,
yo,
and you know, people used to fuck with me
because I'm coming.
They go,
yo, nah's following you, son.
Just dude just keep going
you, no, is following you, son.
I'm like, shut the fuck up.
You go, nah, man,
nah, it's following you, son.
So I check,
I go,
Naz is following me, son.
And then I text
Nas, I just send them DM to Nas.
Like, hey, Nas.
Thank you for following me.
He goes, yo, king, boom.
Here's my number.
I call him.
I talk to Nas for two hours.
Wow.
This motherfucker goes, yo, man, I just want to tell you, son.
Yo, that shit you do with the motherfucking pipe and shit?
Yo, that's my shit.
What?
The shit I was just putting shit online.
That's it, girl.
I love that shit.
That shit's next level shit.
Yo, for real.
And I'm talking to her I go,
you know your gnaz, right?
I just want to let you know
that I'm not going to act like
I ain't frantic as fuck right now.
Keith Murray, then Lenny Kravitz
sends me a message.
Yeah.
Lenny Kravitz.
Now I'm friends with Lenny.
Just because of the stuff I was putting on line.
You got to feed the beast, bro.
You got to feed the beast.
And then I started doing my,
and people didn't know I can imitate so many people.
I went against Erie Spears,
went against Jay Farrow,
went against all these dudes.
I had more voice.
than most of them.
I didn't, they go, I didn't know.
When I did Steve Harvey,
which I thought everybody was doing Steve Harvey,
I've never heard of Steve Harvey said,
Eric Spears's like,
yo, really, son?
Nicker, Steve Harvey?
I said, yeah.
He goes, nigga, shit,
I didn't know you had all these voices.
Then we had the Paul Mooney off.
Yeah, yeah.
When I was doing Paul money,
you niggas, I am so goddamn tired.
Oh, you goddamn niggas.
These goddamn white folks, they don't like your ass.
You better wake the fuck up.
And then Aries start battling me with the Paul Moody shit.
I say Aries, I don't even give a fuck.
We're online.
Who gives a shit?
First of all, it's not our voice.
It's his.
Who's the best ball?
Paul.
It was funny because he's like, man, I got to get it.
get you on the Paul Mooney, I go, it's his voice.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, yeah.
Give some fuck, bro.
Let's just get on there and start fire, bro.
Yeah.
But I was doing mad shit.
I was, then I started doing Richard Pryor.
It was setting out, it was, I was setting his off.
And you know, Jay Farrell's very skilled.
Yeah.
I got him on the prior.
Who do you think is the best in history?
As far as voices.
Mm.
If you don't say you.
Okay.
It's about to say
One man
Like who did you look at and go
Wow that person's great
Oh
You know it's hard
Because there was a man by the name of George Kirby
Old school black comedian
From the 60s and 50
George Kirby
That dude could do Ella Fitzgerald
He could sing like Elifich Gerald
Like Elifish
And can imitate all
Yeah yeah yeah
George Kirby
Which people should look up
George Kirby
Underrated
Holy shit
George Kirby
Rich Little was pretty good
Rich Little was the white dude
who just did all in person
He did all the presidents
I met him
He's like 83 years old
I met him
Rich Little
Um
The best
Because it's hard to say
Because you don't know
How many voices
Every person
He could do
So oh there was
Jeff Pollock
Jeff Pollock
Jeff
Oh the guy that was on
A few good men
Jeff Pollock
He's an impersonator
Oh really
Frank Gorshan who played
The Riddler
In the 60s was an impersonator
Oh wow
Frank Gorson played the riddler in the Batman from this,
you know, pop-belly Batman with the skinny legs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam West, they'd be like, Rob, we have to find Commissioner Gordon.
Exactly, Rob.
I have to find Cepwoman.
And some people are good with mannerisms, but not voice.
Like, Keen and Arielyne's was great with mannerisms, I think.
Right, right, right, right.
Like, Jim Carrey, no, Jim Carrey is more of, like, can morph into,
Jim Carrey was another level.
He was one of the first guys I opened up for doing comedy.
Oh, really?
What was his stand-up like?
His stand-up was very like, he did a lot of body movements, which was like, how the fuck is he doing that?
But jokes?
He had jokes.
Scenarios he did.
Because I opened up when I was in Chicago, it was at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
My friend was running the scenario and then here are these characters operating in the scenario.
You know, you ever see a guy?
He would just say da-da-da-da-da.
And he just like, and it was like, it was funny.
He transforms in front of the-
Yeah, yeah.
I always hate when I go to our supermarket and you just thought,
and he was just, and it would be the funniest shit.
He was, he was there very, he's an alien.
Superstar.
He's really, really skilled.
He's so skilled.
Now, with that's there, would you be disappointed if you went to a Jim Carrey show?
Because you know it's going to be a TED Talk at this point.
Well, Jim ain't doing stand-up at this point anymore.
Jim is against, he's against Hollywood now.
He's coming around.
Like, he was at a dark moment.
And I feel like now he's finally kind of seeing the light.
I think a lot of people go to.
Like, as far as.
Like, like.
And again, I don't know, Jim.
This is just observing and seeing very little.
Sorry, I could be talking shit.
But, like, I think what happens is, like,
when maybe people get everything that they've ever wanted
and they're not happy still,
they start to realize that,
I don't even like saying these kind of things out loud,
but, like, they start to realize that, like, you know,
just on a rock hurtling through space.
You know what I mean?
We're here for a very short time.
And if you compare it to how long the universe has existed,
it's a snap of the field.
right? It's nothing. And I think when people think about that too much, it gets depressing,
right? You start going, oh, is this nothing? Are we all part of nothing? Right. And there's beauty in that
when you get to the other side. And I think he was at one point where he was kind of like on red
carpets talking about, yeah, none of this matters and everything's meaningless. And it was like,
whoa, is the funniest guy ever, the guy who made me so happy? Like, is he really sad? And now it
seems like he's kind of coming around. I think the coming around part is the, whether it's nothing
or not, we fucking need each other. We need to talk. We need a laugh.
We need family.
We need to fucking love each other.
We like helping each other.
It actually makes us feel good when like someone that we love succeeds or we can help someone.
A lot of comics are not like that because I'm going to keep doing.
It takes time to get there, bro.
I know I got comics.
And it's funny that I know they don't like me.
I know it.
And they don't know I know.
I know specific motherfuckers too.
And I'm like, and I love helping people.
I like, I love when I give somebody, hey man, go connect with that.
I love that shit.
I've never been a hater.
But a lot of times like,
and I just hate me.
This has helped me get through certain things like that with relationships and like just
even forgive people.
It's like a lot of times like the way that people are talking about you is a reflection
of where you are and where they are.
True.
And like I think we've all witnessed at least in comedy.
Yeah.
You know, I've seen guys that like are so fucking talented and then maybe not getting opportunities
or maybe not doing the right things and then they get bitter because of it.
And it's just like, well, you're not a bitter.
guy, you just believe that you deserve more and you just don't have the ability to get yourself
more or you just need someone to nudge you. So them hating on you or being upset at you got really
nothing to do with your behavior. It's that they're not. Right. But there's some people that are
already doing good. That's not too bad and they're hating. Like you're like, they're looking at you.
They're looking at shows and they're like, well, I need to be there. It's like, no, you are we
are. You're already there. It's like you can't be, you can't run in everybody's lane.
Yeah.
You have your own lane.
You don't want me to have this success?
Why that's fucking weird?
And I know people who are prominent motherfuckers that have said that shit around me.
Like, I don't like when other motherfuckers make it.
I'm not mentioning names because they're not here to defend themselves.
That's silly.
But it's really, I'm telling you.
That's scary.
Here's a thing.
Because they're in positions where they can influence somebody.
And they go, nah, I don't fucking pick that dude or fuck that dude.
Because some people, they'll believe what they say and won't give you that chance.
I've had people do this to me.
Because some people need it all.
And you can't even.
You can't have it all.
It's like when I tell this man about a
place, I'm telling you because
I don't want anybody to see me every week.
I want people to get like, come back later.
Like, what am I going to hog a fucking gig?
Yeah.
They need to see other comedians.
If you're good enough, they're going to bring you back.
If you're dope enough, they're going to bring you back.
But people are, yo, I'm telling you.
That's wild to me because that's what I was like.
I want to be to Clarence Avont, Lauren.
I love shit like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that you want to be...
I love when I hook people.
I love that.
The king maker.
That was the thing, at least, you know, like, that was the thing with Rogan that I thought was so transformative within comedy.
Is it like the guy with all the power was trying to put people on?
Oh, that's great.
And like, it was just so rare.
And what there was like a trickle-down effect with that shit where like everybody else was trying to put people on too.
Because they were like, well, shit, if the king doing it, who am I to be selfish?
No doubt.
And these cats are eating
getting on his show.
I think Rogan,
Rogan.
For comedy,
that was a super rare thing.
I think he filled the lane.
I haven't done Rogan yet.
You haven't done Rogan that guy,
for you?
Oh,
you got to do Rogan.
Well,
well,
you know him, right?
That's Shokes.
He's the face of a Rogan.
Well, Shokes has the face of a Rogan.
I'll plug you.
I'll plug you.
Rogan's going to pick guys like that.
He lived in the neighborhood.
He's like this.
And Rogan,
that's my buddy.
Trassing the guy.
He wants to go on the show.
No, I really, I would love to because everyone's like,
because Willie D from the ghetto boys,
Rogan's a big fan of Willie.
Willie's my dude, like my rad man.
And Willie's like, yo, I want you.
He's like, man, I want to get you on that.
I was like, it has to be a thing where he knows.
He's following me.
But Rogan's equal opportunity.
If you're dope, you're talented, you're funny.
I would love to be on Rogan.
People, because I've done Marin, I've done Naron twice.
Yeah.
Because I know Marin.
Yeah.
I think you guys would have a lot of fun.
I know we would.
I think we had a fucking great.
I'm sure you had a ball.
That was, I need to go back and do it.
I want to do Rogan next one, actually.
Oh, you got to.
See, you just said next month.
No, if I can.
You should say, Charlotte and again.
You know, you can.
I hate your fake humility.
That bug me.
You go like, yes, I think I'm going to do it next month.
I think I'm going to do it next month.
I don't know.
It depends on my schedule.
You know, because, you know, we have billions of followers on breakfast.
What are you saying about?
That really pissed me off.
About, what are you?
I really hated that.
I hated his humble.
He threw it away.
He's like, I don't know, next month.
If he left me, if he got home.
Oh, God.
If you got the room.
Jesus Christ.
He has one of the biggest platforms history.
He's like, I don't know.
He has the room for me.
I was saying that he felt the lane that I feel like the champs left open.
Oh, yeah.
Because the champs podcast, Neil and Motion Cash,
because they were bringing in all of the comedians.
I did.
I mean, especially the, really, I think it was black media.
Did you ever do champ?
No, I never did.
I did it one time.
I did champ.
I heard you on there.
I heard you on champs.
I think that was the first time I heard Tiffany story.
I think they only had black guests.
That's it.
I was like, oh, yeah, that was a weird thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, because, yeah, Neil's into black people.
He's the black one.
And Moshe says from Oakland, so.
That makes sense.
And he came, and he grew up like, oh, uh, motion did.
I said, okay.
Remember asking, no, why do you stop doing it?
He was like, hi, is.
no more black comedians.
He ran out of,
what?
No,
he ran out of black guys he liked.
There's a lot of black comedians
you don't know.
Why did you interview them?
I need the super negroes.
I need super,
because I remember when I was on Mark Merritt's podcast,
Judd Appetal comes up to me,
he goes,
Jud goes, your episode on Maron
is one of my favorite episodes
because me and that Marin are shitting on each other.
I go,
Marin, I say,
you barely bring any black people on here.
He goes, what do you mean?
I had Obama.
Not the Super.
Negroes, bro.
It's Obama,
regular mom fuck.
Like a chimp,
like a,
like a,
like a, like a,
Danny Perkins,
like a regular mom.
The only black guy
was the president?
Oh, my God.
It might be a practical.
Right, right.
Because me and
black people
become president out there.
Because me and him,
me and Obama's episodes
were one at the other,
which was great because it's good.
You had to follow Obama?
I had to follow Obama.
And I was,
and I was,
And I was, like, I think they like black folks.
And I look at Marin and Marin got all these black people on his wall.
You got all these blues players on you.
He's just like a white dude.
Got all this black paraphernalia, but no black people on your podcast.
And then Marin's shitting on me.
I'm shitting on him.
And we had fun because that's what we do.
I said, man.
And that's the thing.
It's like, I think that's what happened with Brennan.
He ran out of it.
Yo, I got a question.
James Brown was dead.
Luther was dead
He couldn't interview them
Martin Luther King gone
Malaman gone
Bernie Mac
Yes
motherfucker fucker
You came up under Bernie
I sure motherfucking did
Yeah
I'm in Chicago man
Chicago was me
Dion Cole
It was Corey Holcomb
And he had that iconic room right
Yeah it was the cotton club
Cotton Club
Cotton Club
open mics.
I was doing mainstream open mics, actually.
Then I was saying, man, I want to do, like, I'm going to do
more black audiences, because I want to
make sure my shit's legit.
Yeah. You know what I mean? And I would transition.
I never really had to change my shit.
And I remember
they say, go see Bernie Mac. You got to go see Bernie Mac.
And there was a movie called Love Jones.
Oh, yeah. Love Jones.
My wife favorite movie. My love Jones was a Chicago
film. And a guy named Ted
Witcher, we used to go to see, we used to go see
slam poetry. And my friend, who
who consulted, what's his name?
Lorenz Tate.
Lorenz is from Chicago.
Lorenz Tate, my boy Reggie,
was the poetry, International Poetry Slam champion
who went to high school with me.
So he was, in the movie,
you can see him sitting next to Reggie.
He's like, yo, Reg, I went to high school with Reg.
And my other friend who I went to high school with
is the girl Bernadette with the Braves
who works in the record store.
Wow.
I drove to New York with her.
In 97, I came to New York with her.
and my first roommate was Viola Davis.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Crazy shit.
I think she was on your show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was my first roommate with Bernadette driving.
U-Haul truck.
It was like 60 y'all in the house, right?
It was four of us.
Four of us.
Okay.
Who haul truck, first person I see when I get to New York, Wood Harris, who's from Chicago,
who used to go to porch, he slams with me.
Wow.
Wood Harris.
Wood is like, yo, I just got accepted to Tish at NYU.
I go, bet.
I want to come next year.
A year later, I see Wood Harris on six.
6th Avenue crossing the street going to class.
Driving.
Wow.
U-Haul truck.
Bernadette.
We go, Viola Davis, at Juilliard.
The fuck?
Wow.
Yeah.
Violet was a nobody.
Just working an ass off, boom, but you got to read her book, though.
Oh, that our book is incredible.
And fucking credible.
Her book is.
Incredible.
It's very triggering if you, you know, having dealt with your own traumas.
Every actor in this, I don't complain about shit.
That word up.
After what the fuck she's been to.
Her childhood was, wow.
What? You have to read that shit. It's fantastic. Anyway, so yeah. So, you know, boom. And there was a place called Spices in the movie where they're doing the poetry. That's where Bernie Mac would do shows where they did poetry. There's a black-owned place in downtown Chicago. Bernie Mac would do shows down there. And that's what Love Jones was based on the poetry like little club. Then he was at the Cotton Club. And I said, where can I go to do Black? You go see Bernie.
Matt. I was like, who the fuck is that?
Southside of Chicago.
So I go over there.
And I see this dude, dark skin
dude with glasses with a towel.
He's like, I'm sick of tired of tired of being a motherfucker.
I'm sick and tired. I'm tired of
and shit. You know, I'm tired of your love
and shit. I'm tired of
motherfuckers. You know, I was like,
whoa, fuck.
Murdering, of course. And when you walk into
the Cotton Club, it's the band
is right there and they see you right
away as soon as you walk in. It's a small club.
you right away. So I'm walking in there. I see Bishop Don Juan.
Bishop Don Juan is from Chicago. Bishop Don Juan knew me when I started.
Wow. Man, that motherfucker saw me when we were shooting Soulplane. Me and Snoop Dogg in the in the cockpit
Bishop Don Juan comes in. And he goes, hey, baby, what's going on, man? I go, what's up,
man? Bishop, what's up? He goes, man, I'm proud of you, baby. I'm proud of you, man. He made
Chicago look good. He's a real pimp. He's a real pimp. He's a real pimp. Not no
fucking joke.
Real.
He goes,

I love seeing my
Chicago
brother.
And Snoop is
like this.
How you know

I said,

And Snoop goes,

I love my fuckers

I didn't know

Bishop Don Juan

bro.
Wow.
I knew him
before you
were hanging out
with him.
He was Bishop
Magic
Don Juan.
What happened
to the magic?
He got,
he got all churchy.
He got,
you know, bishop?
Yeah, he was like a pastor.
I did not know that.
He was a pastor.
He used to have a gold church,
like a little church,
gold chain.
But Bernie, Bernie.
But Bernie, Matt.
Bernie was like,
I mean, to me,
he's one of the best ever.
And I think he did quite possibly,
like one of those most amazing sets
of stand-up comedy ever.
Yes.
The Kings of Comedy?
Well, the Kings of Comedy was,
like, transformative for me,
but like,
I'm talking, it was the deaf comedy jam.
I ain't scared you.
And you know what happened, right?
I want you to tell the story because you know better.
But that five minutes.
Yeah.
And I'm not talking to you like break down like, oh, look, the setup and premise and joke, whatever.
I'm talking about five minutes of setting a tone, getting everybody in the room, absolutely dying laughing and maintaining energy and like literally falling in love with a person.
And then you leave.
I think it was one of the greatest sets in the history of.
No doubt.
But tell everybody what happened before.
And there were some people that were there.
This guy named Cool Bubba Ice was there.
Some other cats were there.
Cool Bubba Ice with the hat.
Yeah, Cool Bubba was there.
He's a great impersonator too.
Really great impersonator.
And shit.
Because Bernie, this was his second time on Deaf Jam.
Because he had done his first one.
I remember he told us.
He goes, I want to tell everybody I'm doing Deaf comedy jam.
Everyone was like, oh, wow.
And he's like, so I ended up hosting for him.
That's right, when he was filming.
In the summertime.
And all the comics were pissed at me.
Bernie asked me, he goes, I was like, you want me to do this?
Like, because you're original and shit.
You know, you're trying to be like Bernie, man.
My fuck would be stealing my shit, you know.
So boom, at that time, Bernie went on first time at Def Jam.
Did pretty good.
Second time, he went on tour.
He was on tour.
So I was hosting his comedy.
He was on tour.
So that's when he had this, you know, you saw his colored, you remember his shirt?
That's Barbara Bates.
Barbara Bates was this black clothing designer.
He was wearing Barbara Bates' shit, right?
And then the painted jeans, and that was a style of Barbara Bates.
And then, you know, there was a bunch of people bombing before him.
They were bombing like a motherfucker.
And so Bernie was like, what the fuck?
Everybody was getting eaten alive.
And so Bernie comes out, it goes, I ain't a fuck.
afraid of you motherfuckers.
I'm gonna tell you to you straight.
You know.
And then it went, yeah.
He set a tone.
And then he goes, kick it.
Boom.
But that wasn't organized before with, who was the DJ?
Um, Kit Capri.
Yeah, Capri.
I don't think that was organized before.
Yeah.
So he did it.
And then it worked and he kept to it.
I'm gonna tell you straight.
Well, you know, I pull out my dick this whole room.
He's like, yeah.
I'm blessed.
I'm blessed.
I'm a big bummed.
I pull him and dig the whole room get done.
King it!
But it was music.
It was like, you're watching fucking jazz, comedy.
It was everything all the one.
It was Coltrane, Duke Ellington, getting them all.
It was Brose.
It was B-Boc.
It was funk.
It was, and in that quick moment, he murdered that shit, Chicago.
Then Adele Givens, Chicago.
When Adele said, me give you a blowjob, that's like, with my big lips,
that's like giving a whale a tic-tac, motherfucker.
Yeah, I remember that.
I think he was talking to, she was talking to Cool Bubba Ice.
In the audience, and Chicago on the map again.
Wow.
Yeah.
And Chicago, we were, it was Chicago was right.
But the Bernie, Bernie, go, go, go, go.
Bernie literally, when I got to New York City doing, um, fuck, um, peppermint lounge.
Oh, in Jersey or whatever it was?
I did it 10 times.
Yeah, this was a orange.
Whose room was this?
No, that was Bill Bellamy's room.
This is like a crazy room.
Yeah.
Anthony Mason from the Knicks
Who's huge
Nottie by nature
He's a Frankenstein
He looks like he's in 3D
He's freaking
He is in 3D
And remember when I was talking about
Muffickers
Jersey was like
They was
500 motherfuckers in the room
Yeah yeah
You got they gave you a date
Tina Graham
Shout out Tina Graham
Bob Summers
They gave you
They gave you a date
and you would think about that date
for months.
You go, it's January.
Hey, you're going to be at the Pepperman Lounge in April.
You're like, oh, you're thinking,
oh, when's your date?
My date's April, blah, blah, blah.
When's your date?
And it was like, and it was an X strip club.
And so there's mirrors.
Everyone on the stage.
So when you get up, it looks like there's more black people.
You see the reflection.
You see the reflection of these motherfuckers.
And they're like,
Hurry up.
Yeah, yeah.
Hurry out with your sis, son.
It was, and you got to get up there and Bill Belamy,
and, you know, everything Bill's doing, kill it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like MTV, suit on, boom.
And here you come, you're in a fucking room.
And the DJs, they're going, y'all better not fuck up.
Would it blew your ass to death.
Thank you for the inspiration, you asshole.
And then I went up and, oh, I forbam.
And he goes, yo, this next guy from Chicago,
everybody's like, you have it because of Bernie.
Bernie gave me an opening
because they respected Chicago.
If everybody was respected Chicago,
you've got to remember, too, one of my
jokes that killed, this is my first time
at the
Peverman Lounge, I did
the crucial conflict joke.
You know, crucial conflict? They started
all that, home and all that
southern rap because Chicago's
a southern city. Black people are from
Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky. That's right.
So that hay in the middle of the barn, man, I murdered, dude.
I said, y'all, no crucial conflict.
What the fuck if I, oh, I was just doing, killed Chicago group.
It was just Bernie set that tone, though.
Wow.
To get me through.
They're like, give it up my man, Chicago, Bernie, man.
What was the?
Sweating, like, God damn.
Then I got booed one time, booed, my ninth time.
Because I was getting comfortable.
Poor fuckers knew me.
I was, hoo-ha-da-ha.
the night.
Then one time this dude was like,
yo man,
you corny, man.
Corny, man.
You sound proper and shit.
I go,
that's because I can read.
That's because I can read,
motherfucker.
I can read.
And I was like,
and I'm getting on this dude.
Then they were like,
yo,
that's my cousin.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Family.
What are you related to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bob,
it started growing.
Boo,
they knew this dude.
I was getting them,
though.
Boom,
man, fuck that.
And now the booing, I didn't even trip on it.
And so when they start booing, I started acting like, I started acting like Scarface when he was getting shot.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like this.
Ah, it's okay.
Fuck you.
I can thank you.
You want to fucking flag it.
They start laughing again.
Then they booed me again.
They re-boot me.
They were like, they were like, ha!
No, boom!
They re-boot me.
I was like, fuck y'all.
And I got off.
But the people who don't know and don't really.
understand the impact of Bernie Mac.
What was that lost like?
It was stunning.
It was stunning.
Like a stunner.
Like, fuck, what?
Like, like pop big?
It was, it was just like he was just,
he was really coming in.
Like, he was about to be that dude.
Like, with the Ocean's 11.
And we didn't get to see him do specials, man.
Yeah.
We didn't really get to see him do comedy specials.
Pam, I never thought about this.
We didn't get to see him do comedy specials.
Yeah, but there's,
part of me
Oh shit
there's part of me
that I don't know
what he would have done
as a special
but like
the type of comedy
did with Kings of Comedy
it was so
fucking pure
authentic and like real
I don't know
after doing like
Ocean's 11
if he could do
those types of jokes again
I'm not sure
but I would have liked
to see it
but I'm like
but yeah
he had his own
show
then he had his own show
then he had
the Bernie Max
show that all
you know
you've got a good point
because that's set
from Kings of Comedy
I remember
watching it in a movie theater. It came out in theaters. It was unreal. And I saw, the lineup
was perfect, everything was perfect. But I didn't know who he was. And I knew who the other guys were.
Yeah. And I was like, wow, this guy's closing. Who is this guy? Yeah. And then I laughed like,
I've never laughed at anything on video ever in my life. It was, yeah. And I was like,
because also at that time, I'm so young, I think that he's just making all this stuff up in a moment.
I don't even know about bits yet.
Right.
You know, my, my introduction to comedy is like, I'm watching,
I'm watching guys riff, I'm thinking, right?
So because it was so conversational, I don't know, these are bits.
He's going back and forth.
It's in and out.
It's audience.
It's something he's telling stories.
So I'm thinking during this, I'm like, man, how the fuck am I going to be that funny?
This is going to take a lot of work to get this goddamn funny.
Bro, him telling the stories about the family, man.
And that's what Bernie Maxwell was, though.
And then they made the show.
And the thing is Bernie had been doing comedy since 79.
Yeah, 30 years in a game.
with like Arsenio.
Yeah.
And the thing is, my friend who I want to bring up, Evan Lionel, he's a comic out of, he
started, he literally was the first guy to pay us in Chicago.
He started the urban comedy.
Evan Lionel, he's been in L.A. for like 20-something years.
He's my big brother.
He literally got Bernie Mac out of the life of crime.
He saved Bernie Mac's life.
Wow.
Saved his life.
They went to the same high school, Chicago Vocational High School.
and Bernie was going to murder somebody
because Bernie was pissed
and he said, don't you go do that shit?
You need to bring your ass and do this comedy thing.
I'm doing...
He saved Bernie.
Evan Lionel is the reason why Bernie is where he got to.
Wow.
And he let Bernie stay at his place
when Bernie didn't have a lot of money.
Dude, I've seen footage of Bernie doing open mic
when Bernie didn't have any dough.
He has...
He's funny as fun.
He's funny as funny.
And he has, but he has footage of it.
He has footage of all of us when we first started.
Wow.
This guy's name is Evan Lionel.
People should need to know this guy's name.
Bernie used to sit with us at three in the morning lecturing us.
Who's going to carry the toy?
Huh?
Who don't care to the motherfucker?
You know, all these motherfuckers are going to stand along?
A motherfucker who's going to do comedy and shit?
Motherfolk come up wanting to get his head of ovation and shit.
Yeah.
We would watch.
This is two, three, the morning.
Me, Bernie, Evan, and his wife.
Wow.
Just listen to Bernie.
him. Me, I got lectured by Bernie. Like, I got the best fucking advice. I got Seinfeld, Bernie,
and you can say what you want, Cosby. I got advice from all three of these motherfuckering. George
Wallace, too. George Wallace would be like, Gufford, Gufford, he was really funny. We had the same
birthday, me and George Wallace. Wow. I got advice from some of the greatest motherfuckers.
Seinfeld sat me down two hours, watched my set and gave me advice. What? Cosby.
gave me advice.
When I worked for him, I worked for Cosby.
I warmed up for Cosby.
And he says, you got to write, put it on the paper.
You got the writing is important.
Got to write it on the paper.
I remember the shit.
You see, when you put, oh, yeah, it was Cosby.
And he had the cigar and see.
And the thing and the writing, his hand was like, the writing on the paper.
Look at the word show of business.
What's the biggest word?
Business.
Oh, he did.
that.
I was like, all right.
I'm like, yeah.

You got an announcement?
Orlando Improft.
Did I say Orlando Improft?
Yeah.
Okay,
okay, made sure I see Orlando Improv.
Thank you.
Yeah, man, it's it.
Let's do some shit you won't care about next week.
Let's get it.
Monique called out bias against black women in D.L. Hugely dispute.
Bro, did you see her running across the stage?
That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my side.
Baby.
Bro.
The one that she did, bro, is one of the funniest things I ever see.
She looked like Luigi, bro.
look at this run.
Look how high her legs go when she's right.
Dude, it's amazing.
Whatever she said, she's right or wrong.
I don't know.
But that run is...
Baby.
Oh, my God.
You don't got the video?
She alleged that D.L.
pushed her out of being the headliner.
But D.L. showed a contract, didn't he?
He showed the contract.
What's it called?
The contract.
It wasn't a contract.
It was a thing before the contract.
But it's still binding.
The offer. Yeah, the offer.
Performing agreement.
Yeah.
Yeah, he showed them.
He didn't want to have to do that.
She showed one, too, though.
That said what?
What did it say?
Same, it was like the same language, but I think it came from her company.
But I think this is a promoter problem.
I don't think this is an issue that either one of them have with each other.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Hold on now.
Hold on now.
Monique is funny.
Y'all saw this.
Everybody saw it.
No, no, but this part is my favorite.
Come on.
Don't even, don't even skip.
Where did she go?
Where did she go?
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh, she just ran the other side of state.
O'Neke is hilarious.
I thought Cory Hockman do that one day.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Monique is hilarious.
Monique is so funny.
Is this a real thing?
Do comedians care about who headlines?
Well, yeah, well, I mean,
listen, they're both great headliners.
They're both great comedians.
Like I said, it's a, it's a promoter thing.
I'm not going to sit there and miss speak and go,
I don't know who's right, who's wrong.
I think it sucks that they're both.
fighting. It fucking stinks.
I think it sucks. They're both great.
Some of these promoters do
stupid shit like that. They'll like
separate that. Have Monique
and friends. Have D.L. and friends.
Stop stacking.
stops doing that shit. That's a big show. You got D.L.
and Monique. That's a big show. That's a huge show.
I think Ida Rodriguez was on there.
They just trying to get the guys and the girls out.
But I think it was, I think, I think
it was DL's thing.
I think. I don't know, but
if they're both showing contracts, hey man,
I'm done to do with that, but I hate that they're
fucking fighting because it's like...
If it's not my personal show, I don't care where I am.
Yeah, it's like, you're Monique, man, don't fucking matter.
You're Monique? Who cares?
Like, headline your shows, and if it's a show
with a bunch of other comics on it, first of all,
that's a lot of people don't realize, like, comics,
if it's a comic, a show with a bunch of comics on it,
comics ain't fighting for that headline spot.
Hell no.
That's the one you don't want.
Exactly.
Get the fuck out of here.
And everybody's a headline or shit, I want to go first.
Because everybody's going to go long.
It's going to be three hours in by the time you get on stage.
Everybody's going to be talking about the similar shit.
So people fight to not do that.
And if you do do that, you got to pay more.
So I know comics who are like, I'm not headline unless you pay me extra because I got to deal with this shit.
I've been on offered shows like that.
And I go, and I'll look who's on.
I go, I'm good.
That energy.
I want energy-wise, I'm not fucking with that.
Oh, so you'll look at a lineup and be like that.
That was the first time I ever saw something like that in the air contract.
And I don't have a beep for anybody.
but I know one fuckers that don't feel a certain way about being.
I'm not going.
I don't care about how much money it is.
I'm saving my energy.
I want to be around people that I get along with.
That's important to me.
That makes sense because in DL's contract,
he has approval of the lineup or something like that.
I guess.
And then what is her contract show?
I don't, I didn't look so.
So I don't really.
It just seemed like both of them had the similar contracts,
so I think that's on the premise.
The thing is you don't see the white comics argue.
Even if they don't like,
you don't see them doing that.
It's us all the time.
Yeah.
It's like it's always, it's, why?
Why has it be got to be public?
I just thought that was like Monique's shitting on DL before he goes up.
And then DL came back.
I heard DL didn't perform that night, though.
No, he went on stick.
Didn't he said, you know Jesus.
No, just kidding.
No, he said something about like you're beefing with this person, this person, this person, this person.
Maybe it's you.
Listen, I'm not, I'm cool with both of them.
so I don't want to say the wrong shit
because I wasn't there
but I just don't like that they're both fighting
I hope that they resolve this shit
because I don't want to see any of us
fighting that shit I'm tired of that shit
keep it to yourself
fucking keep it off the thing
off the public
talk to one another about it
I say talk to one
because they're both great
with both my friends
okay I remember Monique called me
I got the call for Monique
because you know I did fat girls with her
I did soul playing with her
and Monique called me
because I was on
when I used to do Vlad
I said something about Monique's situation with her husband.
I made a mention, and Monique calls me.
I go, hey, he goes, hey, baby, hey, love.
You know, all that night and I said,
What's up, what's up?
Yo, what's up?
She goes, oh, I'm beautiful.
And it's so nice to hear from you doing so well.
I'm like, something's going to happen to me.
I go, what's up, Enneke?
I have a problem, baby.
I said, oh, oh, what is it?
What I do?
Well, I was watching Black,
and you are bad motherfuck
alcohol in there. I said, thanks. He goes, but you said something I didn't like. I said, what the
fuck could I possibly say bad about you? Well, it wasn't me. It was my husband. I said, okay,
what did I say? Because I don't remember. He goes, you said something about, you know, I think
Monique's decisions are being because of the husband. And I said, well, Monique, I think I remember,
but I didn't say it out of spite of him. I don't know him. I was talking about as a friend of yours.
I go, maybe it's the husband messing up her shit, because I know.
Monique had Monique's been doing this a long time maybe he just came in and he's making it wrong I was
protecting you she goes I totally understand that but I felt like you disrespected her I said let me
talk to him let me talk to the guy and I talk we had a great conversation he goes man I really
respect you and I know I got I understood what exactly what you were doing you don't know me
you're just looking I said that's how I did it but as a man I apologize that if you took it that way
I totally did and we question he's I'm apologizing to another black dude yeah
And it'll have to be like, man, fuck you.
At least she called you.
Monaco hit the nuclear button quick.
She will go like this.
Godfrey Cleophis Jr.
And I'm like, how'd you know my middle name?
But yeah, we scratched it.
And then I made a video actually on my Instagram talking about that, my bad.
And she goes, that's why fuck with you.
That's why I'm up with you.
Yeah, man.
But I like, we settled it.
It was like, boom.
It doesn't have to be.
It was interesting, right?
Go back to that, Taylor.
because D.L was like, you know,
first it was like Oprah.
He said Oprah was the problem.
Tyler was the problem.
Lee Daniels was the problem.
Charlemagne was a problem.
Like, don't put me in it.
Like, my mind was a little different.
I can totally see if Harvey was the problem.
I can see why Monique was upset
because I was talking about her money.
You know what I mean?
She had some legitimate rights.
Yeah, very legitimate right.
You know, we were talking about the Netflix deal
and that's something that we do is people, right?
We'll talk about athletes contracts.
We'll talk about how much money.
a person guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's
certain situations that probably could have impacted
her money. You know what I mean? No doubt. There could have
been Netflix, execs at Netflix like,
oh, well, well,
you heard what Shalommy said. Shalmy.
You know what I said. So it's like, I can see why
she would be upset. No doubt. No doubt. You know?
She was putting out fires that
it was she had the legitimate grimes. You know,
she's just bold with it. She was just
not afraid. She kind of stood on her own.
She looks great, by the way, and it was none of my
business. Yeah.
Whatever Netflix was going to pay her or whatever
She was trying to get.
Yeah, exactly.
That's on her.
That's her.
I think sometimes we do have to be cognizant of that when we're having conversations about what other people are doing.
Because our voices do carry.
And it helps our hearts.
Like nobody's business.
That's right.
That's right.
So Monique was.
Monique and Zia.
They settled it.
They're both fucking fantastic.
Period.
I agree.
And we need them.
Bill Maher, another comic.
Bill Maher got into some trouble.
Because he said that it was actually a really.
good bit if you see it.
I want to call it a bit. I think it was his
real time. But he basically
said that being transgender
is trendy now. So he said
that's why you see the spike in people identifying
as transgender going up
because it's trendy.
Trendy trends. That's what he said.
And if you haven't noticed that with kids
doing something for the likes
is more important than their own genitals,
you haven't been paying attention.
Dr. Erica Anderson
is a prominent 71-year
old clinical psychologist who is her self-transgender and who now says, I think it's gone too far.
The LA Times summarizes, she's come to believe that some children identifying as trans are
falling under the influence of their peers and social media. If you attend a small dinner party
of typically very liberal upper income Angelinos, it is not uncommon to hear parents who each
have a trans kid having a conversation about that. What are the odds of that happen?
in Youngstown, Ohio.
If this spike in trans children is all natural,
why is it regional?
Either Ohio is shaming them
or California is creating them.
And so, of course, the LGBT community is highly upset.
They always get mad at everything.
Real-time Bill Ma Clain,
Rott's going to be sparked by needs of a tree.
But Caitlin Jenner said the same thing.
She's like this.
They're not really doing it.
It's doing it out of like,
it's like they're doing it because,
oh, it's cool to do it.
some people do gay stuff and they were like I wasn't really good I was just doing it it was just a
phase so that's all he was saying he's not you can't get mad at every fucking thing all the time
go be trans yeah I mean there's a lot of common sense in what he said he was just like
when you're young you think you're all kind of stuff you know yeah like should we be making
permanent decisions based off what could we should wait you should wait you shouldn't be throwing
this on people when especially these young kids let let them figure it out later yeah there's
nothing wrong with being whatever you want to be, but you can't get mad at every fucking turn.
Enough already.
It's like, LJBD, go, blah, blah, it's, oh, here they come the alphabets.
You know, it's like, they're always mad at shit.
Like, damn.
And I don't know if trendy is the right word, but I do know that if you put it on the menu
and I'm a child, I'm going for what's the most unique thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, man.
Why would I just want to be a man, a woman when there's something else?
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
If it's on the menu, I might choose the highlighted meal on the menu.
What?
Pause.
What I'm sorry?
Food and food in the whole sex joints look different, man.
Do I want a dick or a coochie?
Or do I want both?
You know, let me get down with a soda on the side.
If Avengers was on the menu, what would you identify it?
What?
Avengers were on the menu.
What would you identify?
No, but I get you trying to make an analogy, but I was like, wait a minute.
I was with you halfway, my friend.
And then we went off onto a tangent.
Spock, Spock, you have to come back.
I think it works a little bit the opposite way as well.
Like, I think there's probably a lot of trans people that identify as gay because they didn't know trans was on the menu.
And I think now there's a lot of those people going, oh shit, I was actually trans this whole time.
It was just gay was the closest thing.
Yeah.
Well, as far as the community, it's under the umbrella.
because if you're like LGBT
Isn't that it's the gay community
LGBTQ AI or whatever
I think it's the queer community
Gay I think is just
If you're a dude you fuck dudes
I don't know
I think it's under all of that
No what is
LGBT isn't that the gay community
LGBTQ
Incognit gay community
That's right no no it's not the gay community
Oh what is it that
It's the LGBTQ plus community
That's the gay community
No no no no no
It's gay and
Yeah because some people
They're by some people
People are gay there.
Well, I think if you mess with the same sex, you're gay.
Do we know what those letters mean?
Yeah, but what if you're...
Do we know what the letters mean?
I'm fine.
We got, we got...
I mean, I'm heterosexual, so I don't know.
Let me get out of there.
If you...
I'm an H, my bad.
If you mess with the same...
I'm age.
All right.
I got my own letter.
I mean, I'm by myself.
I'm H.
We are...
I'm H.
I'm H.
You're H too.
I'm H.
We're all.
We're the Huss.
We're the Huss.
We're the Huss.
Hey, we the Huzz.
heterosexual.
So I'm age.
I ain't the cis, no, I'm heterosexual.
Period.
Homosexual starts with age too.
I'm, I'm het.
There you go.
I'm a hat.
I'm hit, sorry.
Het.
Hey, man.
Oh, man.
You know what I mean?
I don't want to say the wrong thing because then they'll get bad at this.
Yeah.
So you're being focused.
No, but I just trying, there's so many terms.
I'm like, sorry.
I'm not getting to tell you.
I'd rather just actually respect.
you as a human being, then get your terms wrong,
and you start crying.
I'd rather go, hey, man, if you're being bullied,
I'm gonna protect you.
You're my friend.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
But if you get mad at my terms,
I think you're splitting hairs.
Yeah.
I try.
There's a learning curve for the new stuff.
Fuck.
There's a learning curve.
They don't give us one.
That's the thing.
That's what I'm trying to say.
You're a human.
No.
You're a human being.
I don't expect, fuck all that.
And my thing is stop being,
stop these men,
stop putting tithies on and competing against women.
You're cheating.
Have a transgender league.
This is like you should have shitty male athlete league.
Shitty male athletes that can't compete with regular athletes.
Right.
They just put tities on them.
Then they go, I'm going to compete against women.
And you're putting women in comas in MMA fights.
That's because your PSIs are that of a band.
Yeah.
How are you 554th ranked?
And then you're number one when you start racing a woman because you got man strength.
You're fuck out of here.
That's right.
They're like, fucking smoking women as soon as you tell pit the water.
Women are like, what the fuck?
You're like, at least slow down and almost beat them.
Just made it.
Oh, like dash on the incredible.
Not too fast, no way to dash.
Yeah, just slow down just like this.
And she just wins.
How much time got for guys?
Oh, shit.
I got to wrap up soon.
Okay, give us some asking idiots and we'll get the fuck out of here.
What's up?
I mean to play putsy with you.
Man, watch that.
Give us some.
Watch that.
Pull us.
I didn't like the way the tips hit.
I didn't like the way the tips of our shoes hit.
It bothered me.
I didn't like how soft that was.
No tenderness here, buddy.
Hey, that protects you, though.
No, fuck all that.
It protects you.
After that ranch, you did.
No, hell, no.
Which is.

All right. We're back. Time for some asking idiots.
How's it going? Oh, this is a good. I like this one. Let's go back
to that one. Podcast pop you. Right there. Right there.
First one, Taylor, pop up, pop.
Says, uh, Shala, if you were a Republican politician for one year,
what changes would you make about the party?
Shultzzi, if you were a Democratic politician for a year,
what changes would you make about the party?
You go.
What changes would I make about the party?
I would
My approach would be very
Bullworthish
Because I really like what I saw
I can't remember
This sister name right now
She's from Portsmouth, Virginia
She's the Congresswoman
I think it's Congresswoman
Burke if I'm not mistaken
Apologies for not remembering her name
But she just spoke truth
The power
Did y'all see that video?
Happening
And I hope you make your decision
When November comes
I'm pissed as a motherfucker
Yeah, I'm a man
I'm mad as a motherfucker
Fuck them.
I am.
Because I know what's been going on.
I know somebody came to my office and asked me to deal with this stuff because they've been asked to be paid $3,000 to get their vote on the stuff.
I'm sick of it.
She just spoke truth to power about what's going on and how people are trying to buy votes and everything else.
And I'm like, if you're supposed to be a party of the people.
She went there.
You should sound like the people.
Like Bullworth.
I love Bullworth's one of my favorite movies.
You should go watch.
She starred Warren Beatty, Holland Berry.
But it's just like, yo, he was just speaking truth to power.
Which is rare.
But especially in politics.
But are we, is it really a party for the people?
That's why you got to see George Carlin's new, the new, new, uh, Dr.
Macon.
Oh, fucking, yeah, I'm a big Carl and I.
There's supposed to be for the people.
He's like, this country is a big club.
And you ain't in it.
Yeah.
It's true.
That's real.
But is it really for the people?
It's supposed to be.
That's what they sell.
Kind of for the, yeah, well.
It's not.
You know that now.
Right, right, right.
I get what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah.
But to speak truth to power, that's a, it's bullshit.
There's some politicians that step out and go, this is bullshit, you know, some do.
But you know, that's why the Republican Party is so attracted to a lot of people now.
Because Donald Trump gave the illusion that he was speaking truth to power.
And now you got all these disturbing.
Fake news.
Everything is a fake news.
I don't care.
Fake news everywhere.
This is a very good, very good podcast.
Brilliant idiots.
I'm a brilliant idiot.
I'm just an idiot.
No, I'm just an idiot.
I'm not an idiot.
I'm brilliant.
You guys are the idiots.
Fake news, fake news.
But it's not like all, like you see.
Everything's fake Charlemagne.
Your name is not really Charlemagne.
That is very true.
Fake news.
Piece of shit.
This is a piece of shit podcast.
You should be very embarrassed.
But you see all of these conservatives.
Even if it's disgusting, even if it's racist, even if it's sexist, even if it's homophobic,
they're speaking in true.
They keep it 100.
They keep it 100.
And sadly, you're going to find a tribe of tens of millions of people in America.
They like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What would you do?
Change about the Democratic Party?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Give them some courage.
Yeah, maybe some more courage.
Like, talk that shit.
I guess I enjoy that.
And some more humor.
I think that's what's missing in the Democratic Party is like they're trying to make
sure everybody's comfortable and there's nothing funny about comfort.
Yeah.
So it's just like, go up there.
Talk that shit.
Be funny.
Piss some people off.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, I would love that.
Stop trying to.
appease everybody. It's annoying. And it looks
phony. Yeah.
When you're trying to
appease. Oh, man.
Republic, because black people
were actually Republicans first.
Different ideologies didn't. Yeah.
But I would try to
shit. The gun law shit. Try.
I would say gun shit. Like, you got to have a
fucking head exam before you get a fucking gun.
I wouldn't keep people from having
guns, but you got to, you got
to have a mental
examination, man. You got to.
And you can't be five years old with a
fucking. Maybe in the comfort of
your own home, you teach. I got
that. But nah, you can't be walking
row with that shit. That shit's crazy.
You can have it if you're saying, you're qualified
that, you know, that has to be more strict,
I think. I don't understand why people can't
be pro-gun, but also
pro-gun control. Yeah. There's no
reason for a civilian to have an AR-15.
No, you shouldn't have that.
But I believe in 2A. I like my guns, but I
don't have an AR-15. Right, yeah.
And you should know an AR-15 is a problem
if the police pull up somewhere
and they're like,
shit,
his gun bigger than ours,
we might have to wait to be,
you know what I mean?
Like, I'm not just rushing
in there.
We're not properly equipped
to go in and go to war
with this guy right now.
And reparations, God damn it.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, yeah,
I would try to get that going,
you know,
the police thing,
yeah,
yeah,
let's,
let's, let's stop,
but, you know,
killing us place.
Thank you.
Hey!
Yeah,
that too.
That's easy.
Maybe try to take care of that part.
The black thing.
Try to take care of that.
I keep telling these cops.
Stop killing these black dudes.
You're fucking up, your fantasy football choices.
What?
Oh.
The same guys they cheer for are the ones they're fucking killing.
You're right.
Sorry.
The same one.
The same young black men, you cheers at ones that are scoring touchdowns for you and bringing
championships to your city.
kill some other races of people.
They don't play ball.
Oh, man.
Let's do one more and get out of here.
Why are you killing the motherfuckers that are you need?
Don't get it.
Come on, give us one more, tell.
Let's get a good one.
You scroll up half some good ones just now.
I like those what-if scenarios.
Scroll up again?
Right there, right there.
Ooh, I like this.
Let's end on this one.
This is ego on steroids.
Wow.
Would you rather snitch on your homies or cheat on your girl?
Cheat on my girl.
My girl can't beat my girl can't beat my ass.
We don't know what they did.
Nah, my girl can't beat my ass.
What did the guys do first?
Nah, you know what the snitch means.
Snitch is a fucking snitch.
Well, what did my girl do for me to cheat on her?
We're going to do that.
I'd rather cheat on my girl and snitch on my homies.
Your friends didn't something wrong.
I could shout out.
I go, yo, what's good?
I would rather snitch on my homies for cheating on their girl.
Hell. Hell.
We got wives, bro.
Where is born?
We got live.
We got to keep these screens clean for us.
I know you got wives, but I'm just saying, I'm saying I don't want to get fucked up.
Yeah.
I wouldn't tell on you.
I only tell on married people.
Damn.
That would never tell on you.
It's into my business.
You're going to suffer with me in this shit, bro.
For the second I see my point of cheese.
You're going to do like Kobe Bryant, but what about Shire?
What about that?
You may not out here having fun.
Hey, man, I'm having fun.
And you need to come collect his ass.
He gave a girl a million dollars.
Yeah.
What would you have to do, show?
Bitch on your homies and cheat on your girl.
I would never cheat on my wife, bro.
Word.
But if it was my girl,
if it's just a girl, you know what I'm saying?
If it's a girl, if it's just a girl, if it's just a girl,
if it's a random girl, you got it, she don't know girl.
See?
It depends on the offense that the homies did.
No, those are the homies.
They're with you for life.
We already married.
Yeah.
I'm married to my homies.
All you might be doing.
Brose before holds.
Oh, I hear what you saying.
Brose before hoes.
So if I'm a trillion boys in the hood.
I want to get out this car, but do don't let me out.
But then do merch this guy.
Oh, now I'm part of that shit.
And then they come to me the next day.
Ain't no spelling, baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
You're taking stuff from a movie, bro.
I know, you're right.
Stop.
You're in your analogies.
If it's on the menu, you want spaghetti or you want pizza.
So it's the same thing as transgender.
What?
No.
I'd rather not.
I don't know, man.
I'm not cheating on my girl, Lisa.
I can't deal with anything else.
I can't deal with that, bro.
I could not.
I would love to be an accent with married, have a nice, dope chick that you never should.
Everybody wants to get to that point.
I don't have anything.
You're on your way, gosh.
Any psycho chicks out there, any of you with mental problems,
I'm going to run into you.
That's me, boy, fucking run into psychopaths.
Thank you for coming God.
Don't worry.
I'm going to attract all of you.
Don't even worry.
All mentally unstable, brads.
How you doing?
Don't worry.
I'll meet you right after this fucking podcast.
I thought she was cool.
Nope.
She said you punched her in the face and you never did it.
Oh my God, man.
The king of that shit.
I would be single forever.
I'd run into fucking cycle.
No, I don't know.
She said I punched her in the face because she hit herself and said he hit me.
I'm like, no, I did.
Is this based on a true story?
Yes.
I said, no, I didn't.
I never did it.
That's why I've used, that's why I use analogies, Godfrey.
I learned my lesson about telling me true stories.
You got to use it.
It was a good what's love got to do with it, reference.
It's called a hypothetical.
Hey, that was my material.
It's just entertainment.
As always, if you listen to this podcast,
you think we're smart,
you think we're intelligent,
you think we're brilliant,
you're absolutely right.
But if you think we're just a couple idiots
who don't know shit, you're right too.
It's a brilliant idiotic podcast.
Thank you to listen.
