Starting point is 00:02:34 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.

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.

Yeah, but you know, those urban shows, it'd be like the collages. And then Tony Woods would be in the back, like.

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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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

Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:14:05 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.
Starting point is 00:14:19 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
Starting point is 00:14:30 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,
Starting point is 00:14:43 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,
Starting point is 00:14:54 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.

Starting point is 00:18:53 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,
Starting point is 00:19:07 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:43 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?
Starting point is 00:19:55 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
Starting point is 00:20:23 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
Starting point is 00:20:36 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 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,
Starting point is 00:21:00 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.
Starting point is 00:21:19 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,
Starting point is 00:21:33 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?
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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
Starting point is 00:23:09 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.
Starting point is 00:23:25 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.
Starting point is 00:23:40 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:01 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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
Starting point is 00:24:20 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
Starting point is 00:24:27 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
Starting point is 00:24:34 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
Starting point is 00:24:41 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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?
Starting point is 00:25:06 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
Starting point is 00:25:22 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
Starting point is 00:25:30 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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
Starting point is 00:25:45 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.
Starting point is 00:26:01 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,
Starting point is 00:26:12 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:47 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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.
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:26 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.
Starting point is 00:27:40 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.
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.

Starting point is 00:28:26 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.
Starting point is 00:28:33 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?
Starting point is 00:28:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:07 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.

Starting point is 00:31:57 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 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.

Starting point is 00:32:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:57 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.
Starting point is 00:33:12 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.
Starting point is 00:33:34 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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.
Starting point is 00:33:59 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.
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:26 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.
Starting point is 00:34:44 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?
Starting point is 00:35:02 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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.
Starting point is 00:35:38 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.

Starting point is 00:37:18 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
Starting point is 00:37:48 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.
Starting point is 00:38:06 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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.
Starting point is 00:38:27 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.
Starting point is 00:38:36 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.
Starting point is 00:38:51 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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
Starting point is 00:39:26 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
Starting point is 00:39:39 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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?
Starting point is 00:40:12 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.
Starting point is 00:40:24 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
Starting point is 00:40:40 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.
Starting point is 00:40:57 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.
Starting point is 00:41:14 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.
Starting point is 00:41:24 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.
Starting point is 00:41:37 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?
Starting point is 00:41:50 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.
Starting point is 00:42:05 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.
Starting point is 00:42:21 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.
Starting point is 00:42:32 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
Starting point is 00:42:47 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.
Starting point is 00:43:03 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,
Starting point is 00:43:12 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
Starting point is 00:43:20 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?
Starting point is 00:43:30 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.
Starting point is 00:43:39 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.
Starting point is 00:43:53 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.
Starting point is 00:44:05 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.
Starting point is 00:44:21 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
Starting point is 00:44:35 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.
Starting point is 00:44:45 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.
Starting point is 00:44:54 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.
Starting point is 00:45:06 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.
Starting point is 00:45:27 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.
Starting point is 00:45:40 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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.
Starting point is 00:46:06 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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,
Starting point is 00:47:24 Jordan Tilser? Yeah. Yeah. It was with, Shouts of Jordan. Roar, yeah. And I had bigged your name. I said,
Starting point is 00:47:31 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.
Starting point is 00:47:41 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.
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:06 He goes, yo, what's up? He goes, fuck these people, man. I'm not waiting on these motherfuckers. I'm not waiting.
Starting point is 00:48:13 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,
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:28 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.
Starting point is 00:48:40 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.
Starting point is 00:48:57 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,
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
Starting point is 00:49:15 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,
Starting point is 00:49:23 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
Starting point is 00:49:32 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
Starting point is 00:50:01 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

Starting point is 00:52:15 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.
Starting point is 00:52:28 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?
Starting point is 00:52:42 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 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.
Starting point is 00:53:17 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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?
Starting point is 00:53:49 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
Starting point is 00:54:01 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
Starting point is 00:54:15 Like Elifish And can imitate all Yeah yeah yeah George Kirby Which people should look up George Kirby Underrated Holy shit
Starting point is 00:54:24 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
Starting point is 00:54:33 Rich Little Um The best Because it's hard to say Because you don't know How many voices Every person He could do
Starting point is 00:54:40 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
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:54:59 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.
Starting point is 00:55:19 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.
Starting point is 00:55:37 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.
Starting point is 00:55:56 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.
Starting point is 00:56:12 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.
Starting point is 00:56:24 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.
Starting point is 00:56:44 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,
Starting point is 00:57:08 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.
Starting point is 00:57:31 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.
Starting point is 00:57:49 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.
Starting point is 00:58:07 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
Starting point is 00:58:31 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?
Starting point is 00:58:55 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.
Starting point is 00:59:12 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
Starting point is 00:59:29 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.
Starting point is 00:59:45 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.
Starting point is 00:59:55 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
Starting point is 01:00:21 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,
Starting point is 01:00:31 for you? Oh, you got to do Rogan. Well, well, you know him, right? That's Shokes. He's the face of a Rogan.
Starting point is 01:00:38 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.
Starting point is 01:00:47 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.
Starting point is 01:01:02 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.
Starting point is 01:01:15 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.
Starting point is 01:01:25 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.
Starting point is 01:01:38 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.
Starting point is 01:01:53 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.
Starting point is 01:02:05 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?
Starting point is 01:02:20 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.
Starting point is 01:02:29 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.
Starting point is 01:02:46 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
Starting point is 01:02:55 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
Starting point is 01:03:08 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.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Negroes, bro. It's Obama, regular mom fuck. Like a chimp, like a, like a, like a, like a, Danny Perkins,
Starting point is 01:03:27 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
Starting point is 01:03:37 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,
Starting point is 01:03:46 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.
Starting point is 01:04:04 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
Starting point is 01:04:19 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
Starting point is 01:04:32 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

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.
Starting point is 01:05:01 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

Wow. I drove to New York with her. In 97, I came to New York with her. and my first roommate was Viola Davis.

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.

Starting point is 01:08:59 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.
Starting point is 01:09:11 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.
Starting point is 01:09:23 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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.
Starting point is 01:10:05 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.
Starting point is 01:10:23 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.
Starting point is 01:10:42 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.
Starting point is 01:11:00 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.
Starting point is 01:11:18 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.
Starting point is 01:11:30 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.
Starting point is 01:11:41 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.
Starting point is 01:11:55 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.
Starting point is 01:12:15 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.

Starting point is 01:13:26 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.
Starting point is 01:13:42 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.

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,
Starting point is 01:14:21 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
Starting point is 01:14:37 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.
Starting point is 01:14:56 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.
Starting point is 01:15:12 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,
Starting point is 01:15:23 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.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Oh, yeah. Family. What are you related to? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bob, it started growing. Boo, they knew this dude.
Starting point is 01:15:38 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.
Starting point is 01:15:53 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!
Starting point is 01:16:04 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.
Starting point is 01:16:16 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.
Starting point is 01:16:32 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
Starting point is 01:16:42 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
Starting point is 01:16:50 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
Starting point is 01:17:00 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
Starting point is 01:17:06 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
Starting point is 01:17:18 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?
Starting point is 01:17:49 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.
Starting point is 01:18:05 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.
Starting point is 01:18:24 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.
Starting point is 01:18:40 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.
Starting point is 01:18:57 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.
Starting point is 01:19:12 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?
Starting point is 01:19:27 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.
Starting point is 01:19:39 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.
Starting point is 01:20:13 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.

Starting point is 01:24:19 I can't remember. And I've had my podcast, which I hope you guys do someday. And Godfrey was trust on the Gass Digital Network, where Faison has done it. T.I. did it. T.I. A lot of people's done it. And Godfrey would trust on the Gas Digital Network, Tuesdays and Fridays at 9.
Starting point is 01:24:37 p.m. watch me on the new season of Wowling Out June 21st, season 18, and a Michael Chase show, I guess, I'm in at one sketch with you guys. It was like, it was a bunch of us. And yeah, man, and just come, you know, just follow me on Instagram,

Starting point is 01:25:14 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.
Starting point is 01:25:35 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.
Starting point is 01:25:46 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.
Starting point is 01:26:00 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.
Starting point is 01:26:07 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.
Starting point is 01:26:20 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.
Starting point is 01:26:50 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.
Starting point is 01:26:59 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.
Starting point is 01:27:11 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
Starting point is 01:27:29 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.
Starting point is 01:27:45 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.
Starting point is 01:28:02 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.
Starting point is 01:28:18 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.
Starting point is 01:28:33 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.
Starting point is 01:28:50 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,
Starting point is 01:29:04 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.
Starting point is 01:29:18 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.
Starting point is 01:29:31 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
Starting point is 01:29:50 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
Starting point is 01:30:04 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
Starting point is 01:30:14 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?
Starting point is 01:30:29 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?
Starting point is 01:30:44 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.
Starting point is 01:31:18 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.
Starting point is 01:31:51 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.
Starting point is 01:32:12 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.
Starting point is 01:32:23 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
Starting point is 01:32:36 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.
Starting point is 01:32:48 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?
Starting point is 01:33:04 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.
Starting point is 01:33:19 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.
Starting point is 01:33:32 That's right. So Monique was. Monique and Zia. They settled it. They're both fucking fantastic. Period. I agree. And we need them.
Starting point is 01:33:40 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
Starting point is 01:33:58 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.
Starting point is 01:34:16 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.
Starting point is 01:34:52 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.
Starting point is 01:35:09 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
Starting point is 01:35:30 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.
Starting point is 01:36:00 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?
Starting point is 01:36:18 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.
Starting point is 01:36:37 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.
Starting point is 01:36:56 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
Starting point is 01:37:19 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
Starting point is 01:37:32 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
Starting point is 01:37:42 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.

How's it going? Oh, this is a good. I like this one. Let's go back
Starting point is 01:42:51 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?
Starting point is 01:43:11 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
Starting point is 01:43:23 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
Starting point is 01:43:34 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.
Starting point is 01:43:55 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.
Starting point is 01:44:09 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.
Starting point is 01:44:27 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.
Starting point is 01:44:36 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.
Starting point is 01:44:45 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.
Starting point is 01:45:01 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.
Starting point is 01:45:13 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.
Starting point is 01:45:26 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.
Starting point is 01:45:45 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.
Starting point is 01:45:55 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.
Starting point is 01:46:06 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
Starting point is 01:46:15 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.
Starting point is 01:46:31 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
Starting point is 01:46:46 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.
Starting point is 01:47:03 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,
Starting point is 01:47:15 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.
Starting point is 01:47:23 I mean, yeah, I would try to get that going, you know, the police thing, yeah, yeah, let's, let's, let's stop,
Starting point is 01:47:31 but, you know, killing us place. Thank you. Hey! Yeah, that too. That's easy. Maybe try to take care of that part.
Starting point is 01:47:41 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.
Starting point is 01:47:59 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.
Starting point is 01:48:12 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?
Starting point is 01:48:27 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.
Starting point is 01:48:44 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.
Starting point is 01:49:00 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.
Starting point is 01:49:13 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.
Starting point is 01:49:26 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.
Starting point is 01:49:44 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,
Starting point is 01:50:03 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.
Starting point is 01:50:14 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.

Starting point is 01:50:58 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.

Starting point is 01:51:55 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,
