Okay, go ahead facts or facts All right, and it's so interesting you say that because I wasn't even gonna bring this up

Yeah, but it's like when you started your new podcast, right? You try to start a little war with me, right on Instagram Which to me made it seem like you wanted to come on to our podcast and you want to collaborate No, I wanted to fuck with you. Yeah. Oh you want to fuck with me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to like I like fighting you I like fighting you I like fighting you I like fighting you too But I had to stop the fight because nobody wanted to join the team I know you were too deep. You know, yeah, I'm real deep in the Asian community when it comes to like Like hacking or anything like that. I'm gonna lose. Yeah You don't even have this many viewers. You have one young Asian

That created some type of robot Yeah, yeah, no, I like fuck would you yeah But I like fuck with you too, but there is something up with us that whenever I see you sometimes you'll like walk the other way or you Even before the pandemic you would create a distance because you you can't handle my my sexual energy Okay, you guess what? This is why you're such a genius Because I don't know how many years and it took you to figure it out. Yeah, but you're absolutely right. I Can't handle sexual energy from anybody would a dick

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying like I don't have sexual energy to you For you. I just exude it because I'm just a being I know you're a being but I'm not that type of being right Right, we're different type of beings. You know I'm saying yeah I know and this I know you're from a place where like and this may sound weird for some people Yeah, we're kids to the guy in the mouth is not considered homosexual. It's I don't I find it European I don't find it home. That's my point. I'm not a European motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah, okay But you do you do know Europe exists. I do. I mean European bitches But it's not they're bitches. Yeah. All right. They have vaginas, right?

I don't they not purple vaginas. Okay, but they have vaginas. All right. So that's the difference in cultures I'll get my let me say this thing. Okay, for instance, if I was like my head, it's it's it's good. I really I that's my style Yeah, yeah, I really like nature and we'll get to that later. Yeah Mm-hmm. Well, you could have rocked that hat. You could have rocked that hat 30 years ago I could rock I got swag. I can rock anything. No, I think 30 years ago. It would have been weird now as you're older You asked me a question, Bobby. I'm giving my answer And with that you said no, so are you going to interview me or are you going to interview yourself? I was just saying because I

Don't leave don't leave leave All right, somebody to bounce ideas on Yeah, yeah, I'm disturbed by this fucking plexiglass you call it. Yeah, because I know you're trying to prop prop practice Correct COVID protocol for me fit being from the hood and you being Asian on the other side of glass Yeah, this is where you guys get empowered Like I'm telling you like a certain neighborhood Like the fucking Asian person talks more shit the thicker the bulletproof glass Right now you're not going to talk to my shit because I could kick myself through this

You had that motherfucking shit right here. You it's like fuck you nigga. You are my show Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, you would that's actually that's a historical fact It is a historical fact me and I know that when you go to a trying like I want to order something right now All right. All right. So when you're in a chinese restaurant, I want you to tell me it's only gonna take five minutes Whatever the fucking door is do you think that when you're in a chinese restaurant? Do you think that we're talking shit behind your back behind the wall? Do I think that? Yeah. Yeah One fucking hundred percent. Oh, well, then you're correct. I know and the reason why I know that Because I know the stress on the other. I know the stress on both sides

I know you're trying to provide food for a community or whatever And then you get frustrated when someone comes in here and they say they want shrimp fried rice And they say I want extra extra shrimp, right? Without respecting how much extra shrimp costs, I mean just like no, I need you to throw extra shrimp in here And you can't do it. Would you would you be angry if they go? Okay. We have to add five more dollar Uh, no, I wouldn't be angry with that because I know if I go somewhere like right now if I go somewhere I want extra anything. I know it's gonna be an extra cost, right? I'm not going there with the idea If I want extra shit for the same price

So I can understand where that frustration comes from right and you know, and I don't necessarily think that that's your community It's so funny about when I say your community like in um In uh, new york, they have a lot of koreans on like the markets and stuff, right? and a lot of people A lot of black people have issues With their culture and on the other side of korean culture has issues with our culture And I think the thing that that is more disturbing with korean culture when it comes to our culture is the lack of respect They have for elders

You know I'm saying like I you know, you know, you have the old Thing where oh why you following everything like that and I understand that exists whatever but I've noticed and especially Being stationed and living in Korea. I know how important I'm respecting your elders. Mm-hmm is to your culture. It's very important. It's some kind of way you lost that I specifically you lost that respect for elders because I am your elder You are you are you are whatever it is your tongue saying All right, and I'm young now Oh, I'm young now and with that said, you know, if you ever spend any time in Korea when you see me

You have to show me respect I didn't know we were playing by those rules. You bow. You didn't bow. Listen. You didn't do that when I came here You didn't do you didn't do and yes, you didn't do that I know you didn't do none of that. I'm sorry. You're disrespectful to my culture And you're also disrespect to you disrespectful to your coach. Okay, if I would have known I first of all I didn't know that you ever even spent time In Korea Bobby. I don't stop the fucking lies, bro. All right, new I knew I knew we've been three fucking shows. I know

More motherfucking home. I'm out loading you. I know. I know right. Yeah Do you do this to your listeners all the time? What do you lie? Yeah, do you guys accept it? Yeah. Is it just a camera for the audience? Yeah, yeah You guys accept this level of disrespect from this motherfucker Leave your comments. Okay Listen, I'm trying to improve my game here as a human being but I do I like you I like to look back at my past and my behaviors and I also look back at the past podcast and I want to improve my game Yeah, I lie a lot. I've exaggerated. I think that in comedy you have to do that to embellish stories and whatnot. Do you embellish stories?

Yeah, that's what part of my like people always ask me what When it comes to stand up, what is my style? What is my process? And I don't really only process I have is trying to live life the best I can You know, we all go out and you you come into situations Especially to you and like for some reason comedy just comes to you. You know, I mean and you said to yourself Oh, that could be a joke. Yeah. Oh, that could be a joke, but not really joke. I just I want to be able to go on stage And talk about that, you know, I've never been one to sit down and like here's the punch Here's the setup or here's anything like I write

On stage I probably over years I probably lost so much material because that's my process If I was that anal person the ones that anytime something happens They write it down. I would have fucking all type of jokes. Yeah But I I I I rely more on my muscle memory and me being able to Tell the story Embellish the story and then where the comedy comes in is when you exaggerate the story But do you do you write it down or no? No, I might write a premise down. All right, right?

Because I really I believe that if something is really funny to you like It goes into our our hard drive and I hard my my opinion of a hard drive is our life You've been on stage where you've been on stage and you've been on a roll with something, right? And then you'll say a word or two and then for some reason it goes to the hard drive of stuff You something you thought of a year ago that you never saw instead you never done before but now it's like oh Shit, this is the perfect time. Yeah, the worst is when I can't quite get something to work, right? I have an idea. I can't get it to work and the worst is three years later You see a comic do it and you go. Oh, fuck. That's how you do it. Yeah, but then when you were I hate it

Yeah, but when you're a beast you you lose some shit like that But you when you're a creative person you're like, you know, you you'll have a bit like this shit It's funny and then when you're dope when you lose it. You're just gonna come up with some more funny shit You know, it's not a problem. Yeah, that's something going on your life psychology That gives you a fucking complete creative block No, try to stay away from those things when you did summer camp with the gang the gang. Yeah, I don't know I should consider that to be racist The gang what why can't it be some of your fellow friends? Yeah, why can't it be was if a white man was here?

Yo, yeah, yo, Bobby if a white man was here Yeah, I would have said gang You know what I mean? I would have said gang my friend you would even said fellowship No, no, I would have said gang that because I'm a simple guy and you you're a gang of thieves. I'm not Talking to pirates or what a gang of friends. I mean, I would love to go back through Why I don't know why I don't know why I would love to go back. I'm up against the wall No one's defending me. Donnell. I want to know what you truly think about Koreans. Do you think that there is inherently?

Oh a racist seed Somewhere implanted in their DNA. I don't think it's a racist seed. I think it's American culture that they get Satisfied with more more than anything. I don't think it's like they just they dislike black people but a lot of Koreans when they come here the first thing they do for for for for them to make money is that they plant themselves into a black neighborhood and they Create certain jobs That's that's it. But I don't think I really and the reason why I'm saying is because

I've spent time in Korea. Yeah, I really know the culture I really know how much the the biggest thing that value is respect I I know that so I can't just I'm not a person. It's I've seen both sides of it, you know, and I think that they a lot of Koreans are the first company that they're displeased With American culture and then the way we live And just so happen the communities that they are in when they usually when they come the first time a lot of times They are in those black neighborhoods. Yeah. Yeah, I never got like when I was growing up

I never got when I came to LA right I came to LA in the 90s right and like the after like the mid 90s a little bit and there was like, you know This is after the riots and this is after but you know, you'd watch a movie like do the right thing and you see like Steven Park played the um Korean grocery store guy And there was always it felt like there was some sort of conflict between, you know, black people and Koreans Which for me, you know, I'm not that kind of Korean You know, I mean the ones that they would depict in the but that the reason why that is Bobby It's because they don't know each other. Yeah, I'm saying and when you're behind a glass

It's hard to get to know somebody the reason why I say that because Every neighborhood that I've lived in between New York and LA where whether there be like a Korean Korean Market or a Korean cleaner when I get to know these people They fall in love with me. Yeah, you know, I'm saying it's like once they once they know it's too late for you I love you. But once they know, especially when they know the backstory of me spending some time in Korea, you know When they know that I know when I speak to them how I I know how to show respect on the way I carry myself

And you know, I see any on Shim Nika. Yeah, they know that and they and they get it. They they like this. Where he Where did he get that from? Like it's one thing to be able to say something in another language But it's another thing to be able to know your body language Your facial expressions and everything and it's always these older Odishes that get to know me and they fall in love with me and you know When an older Korean person is in love with you Because I remember one time I went to the cleaners close to where I live, right? Yeah, and my bill was like

50 bucks, right? This one, you know, Korean loves you, right? My bill was 50 bucks. I gave 50 bucks and he gave me $10 back He gave me some of my money back Hello, hello, that's good. He was like that's fuck it, but he did it. He didn't do it like I love you. You know, Korean Like I don't know this was I don't know if we talked about this when we did the show but Korean dads Don't have a lot of emotion. No

No, they don't. Yeah, and some people be like Uh, but that's kind of fucked up. Yeah, I don't think it's it's when you said, uh It reminded me like whenever I would introduce my dad to like a new friend from high school I go, hey dad, this is tony. He would go like, okay. Okay. Yeah Like I don't want to know his name I get it, you know, and he would also do this with his hand Get him away. I knew he would do that for you because he knew you were going to be in the kitchen kissing the dude in this So he's like, hey, hey, I don't like

I'm not gay. I know you're not. Yeah. Yeah. I'm okay. I know you're not I'm okay It's so funny because when we did the cabin and when me and burt because the cabin's out on netflix And and donnell was in the episode with us and it was really fun But when him and I both got naked me and me and burt got naked in front of donnell Oh, god, it was just the pleasure of his reaction. No, no, no first. Oh, thank you god for that. First off, bobby Yeah, this is how it happened A retelling yeah, burt christian needed a lot of black people on the show

A lot with his phone book and it landed on two. They're in one section, right? And originally I was gonna do a show anything but anytime I've been knowing burt for over 20 years and like certain people you connect with if they say would you be down? You just you immediately say yes before like I don't know what the money is you just do it You have that type of relationship. We pretty much started like we're from the same generation like from the boston comedy club So he asked me to be a part of the show and then The way the show was pitched to me This is gonna be a show

Where burt invites some of his closest friends and they get in touch with nature and this is what they pitched to me They're gonna go fishing They're gonna have some moments and stuff like that, right? And then I was supposed to be on episode No disrespect to you or how you got on the show or whatever episode you're supposed to be in But originally it was going to be it was supposed to be me and bill burr, right? That's what I heard, right? That's what it pitched to me, right? Oh, you didn't know that? No, I didn't know that Oh

That's what you get Another that hurts, but I'm pretty sure he had you Slotted to be on the show now You were uh, I came in late. You were diversity cast. I came in late. Yeah, I really won't get the hood We got the black guy in the korean guy. Let's go brooklyn so and um I have had a history with bill burr. So I was like, oh, this would be great. So when I get there I

Go to the trailer And I say donna iranis and I'm just looking because I wanted to say what's up to bill burr Now I'm just saying say you said you're real. I wanted to say this was my reaction I wanted to say hi to bill burr. Did I look at other trailer? It said bobby lee and I looked at it and I said fuck This nigga gonna be naked. I knew it I because when I saw him that morning, he had a certain like he was in a bad mood or something No, I wasn't a bad mood when I saw your name on the trailer. I wasn't in a bad mood

No, dude, when I even when I saw you like what's up? What's up? Like you weren't you weren't okay black people We say what's up what that'll mean there. No, this is you didn't go you didn't go.

I don't know what exhibition is nudist exhibition exhibition.

He wanted a bear family Yo, it was a fucking bear family And I knew and I knew that this is what I was going to deal with for the rest of the D d d first of all you think that I woke up that morning went Wow, today's a good day to get naked in front in front in front of cameras No, no that was not my intention. I show up, right? There's my friend D. Hello D. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? That's what he said. I'll go. Okay. Well, he's in a bad mood. I'm learning.

Let me finish right. I put the makeup on right I look at Donnell. Hello Donnell. What's up? What's up? Okay. We can show up on the set, right? And Bert Kreischer is completely

Naked onto the barret run, right? And I'm with my friend Donnell and I sit in myself Donnell doesn't like when I get naked I know this you know, he He says really bad things about my body by the way, and he shames me. No, I'm not I'm just echoing everybody's thoughts I'm just letting you know the streets. No I'm just letting you know your thoughts. Yeah, like you just your specific thoughts about my own body, right?

It gives me shame and guess what and you take these shames to go away because this is where I respect you This is why I respect you. I was like for a motherfucker to have a bottle body as horrible Is that body and fine love And so confident that they would just strip it anywhere. I was like, that's the level Listen, yeah, the level there's a situation. I'm gonna say okay The level of neck the your level of neckiness is a person that one don't give up has no fears And when you have no fears, you're open to do whatever because you don't give a fuck So, you know that like you doing that on the artistic side. I can understand that but on the homophobic hood side

Right, and like and okay. You didn't wake up like You did not You didn't you didn't wake up like I'm gonna have a beautiful day. Yeah, you woke up like, huh. I'm working today There's gonna be a performance space. There's gonna be a camera and I know that some way there's probably A small chance that I can get naked Right, that's what this and you take avenger. You took avenger. Anyway, I get naked, right? I lay next to my good friend bird in a non-sexual way. Your ass was on his dick

I don't know what it takes to be Non-sexual Yeah, you know what was great about that too because after we got naked. We didn't really put on our clothes No, Bert and I just kind of walked around naked, right and and the seat on L scamper Was the best. Oh, thank you lord for that. No, but I'm just saying I mean, I mean and that's your thing Yeah, I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't Disappointed that you were in the show right happy what I do what I knew was

You were gonna any scene you was gonna make it funny. Oh, thank you. You know I'm saying even when I'm like totally disgusted With your spices and somebody's ass and shit, you know, I said to myself Bobby would enjoy that You know, I'm saying like all the things like I all the things I knew I wasn't what I was like here Bobby Yeah, and you took advantage of it and you made it work and it was a funny episode. Well, um Remember when Bert was completely naked and his asshole was It was when we did the colonic. No, you took the angle where you could see his asshole I took the angle what I didn't have You position yourself you wanted the shot

Yeah, it was like, you know, I saw you do they say don't look down back. Yeah his taint. Yeah The the the entrance to the hole But you put a tube up his butt and I put it you were in the front of the centipede No, I was on the side where side of the centipede since I could just see him Yeah, and it wasn't excited at all But that's his thing. I mean, I mean, I'm not that's not my thing to see another friend's taint during the During the day it's a natural thing. Why did you why were you so discreet because the camera's on and I just know that this is

How you entertain, but you it's gonna look good. Yes, you act like you were gonna win a prize. You said I saw his taint like Like like how many we have to get right to win the car taint. I got tight Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding You win a car Yeah, yeah, it was exciting. Yeah, yeah, and I'm not knocking it. You're excited me didn't I get excited? Right, right, right, right, right, you know and so um It was pleasant to spend the day with you there and um, I thought I haven't seen have you seen the episode yet I saw a part server. I tried to watch it really late. I got tired fell asleep on it, but it was funny

Yeah, it was funny not fell asleep. But like it was boring. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you this is what I think And I've been we talked about it being a certain part of certain projects. I've been a part of a lot of projects some that people Might not enjoy whatever but for the most part, this is the first project in a while where across the board People think it's funny. Yeah, you know saying because you have those that small percentage that usually gets the loudest voice Ah, it sucks. I wish I could get my money back. Can I get three years back? But for the most part people Um thinking it's funny. The idea is great. It's a great idea Yeah, I feel like there's a gold there's a just a golden age

Maybe it ended but I you know, I don't know if it ended if many people think that the golden age of podcasting and and comedy is on a downturn because of the pandemic and because of what's going on culturally and whatnot but to me it embodied like, you know All the hard work, you know that all the years I struggled to get to a certain place and to be with Yeah, like I mean, I'll be all kidding aside, right? Like, you know, I love the Chappelle show, right? And I just think that it's really crazy to think that back then Chappelle Dave chose

Two young comics who now are like forces and you know, I mean the comedy industry you and bill, right? It's just what an eye that Dave had back then, right? Yeah, but the thing about it was it was funny because the way, you know, Dave has His production companies called pilot boy production Right and pilot reason why it's named that because I think before the Chappelle show I mean before the Chappelle show came to where it came to be He I think he had like 12 or 13 pilots, you know, I mean he was the golden child They'd like to just kept it everybody pushed him and for some reason he just he never found it wasn't the right chemistry. So

I think out of his frustration to To listen to everything that the networks thought was the right thing the right cast and everything This project he had more freedom and it was like this. I don't want you to say you're going to pair well with this guy This guy is like this. I want to to fuck with people That I think are funny, right and the crazy thing about it

None of us Pretty much none of us had no like Sketch history, right? You know I'm saying so he was picking these people. He'd throw a funny Just on stand-up. Yeah, so if you're lucky enough to be somebody that can put it off like Bill Burr was You know, I mean it's so funny because you know network executives and people that you know are the suits that hire or put together these shows or Put the money together and they don't spend, you know The wee hours of the night at a nightclub night after night, right?

They don't and not only that I'm gonna tell you that that that that's just you got one level of that you got that in um Mainstream white comedy clubs now to imagine the level of talent On the black side of crying that They were never going to see there was never going to go to I had one of the hottest uh black Uh showcases in comedy in brooklyn this place called poke knockers. You know I'm saying yeah on a monday night We would have 300 people in this spot. You know I'm saying this was a force on so many levels We would make like 10 000 dollars uh

10 grand seven 10 grand the door no no Maybe like four grand at the door right and then the food and beverage will make another seven or 10 000 right there on a monday That was powerful, but bigger than that they had like a bunch of black acts that execs not going to go across the brooklyn bridge Yeah, they're not going to do that in fact in in in the most prestigious comedy clubs In manhattan, especially when I was coming up when you say uh, you say the comedy seller When you say stand up in New York when you say comics live and all that type of shit

It was probably only three percent of all the black comics in these in this area that were working those clubs So yeah, they wasn't going to go if you don't think that we had the time to go to the night clubs there They definitely didn't have time to go to this holding a wall place that births play people like tommy davis And their birth people like martin laws. They weren't going to do that right? Do you hate the word? And this is not a term that I made up, but people use the word crossover Like for instance, you know, I've heard people say to ian edwards Right because Ian plays a lot of the the white club. Yeah, and that was used to do my hood spots, too

Right and people would say to ian. Wow your crossover, right? I've heard white comics say that to him Yeah, but that what does that mean even it's it's slightly insulting But but what does kind of say what is trying to say is that? um You could be funny for white people too That's the truth. I'm telling you. Yeah. Yeah When I came up man, I came up in the chitlery circuit, right and I've seen people try to gauge they're like

This was there was a great thing about deaf comedy jam and the bad thing about deaf comedy jam The great thing about deaf comedy jam is because it gave a lot of black comics A platform and a voice we didn't have anything, you know, I mean out of david letterman for a year If he had 30 white comics on there It probably was two or three black comics and those was the ones that worked at the cellar you know, so um, we I understand when it says like

You you want to be able I hope I'm not losing my thought and I can answer the question You want to be something about saying, you know what I can work those clubs, right? Because the quickest thing they would say to you is like, oh, yeah, he's funny for a black audience Because the minute a black comic goes on stage and it's like what music they come up to music, you know A lot of white comics and man. You're like, ah, he's that person. No, it's not that it's just that black people We got a lot of rhythm in us You know I'm saying that's a good feeling to be able to call and response and get that energy before you even say anything That's a tool that we use but it was held against us

You know I'm saying like when you say something now and it's so funny now If you if you back when I was coming up if you roast a person it was all like, ah, man That's not material now you have all these platforms and these shows for roast this Motherfucker. Jeff Ross is the most roasted muffin. He don't cook shit. He roasts everything. Don't cook shit I never put a turkey, you know, no fucking way. Yeah, but you know, but it was like it was somewhat Of a rite of passion passage if you could

As they say crossover But I don't I never considered crossover. I was just like, you know, just give me an opportunity That's it But I can see how to some comments it can be insulting and then especially for in because I know he's probably heard it Dave Chappelle They say he's crossover till no no Dave Chappelle Dave Chappelle was like it's interesting black comic young comic comes out of dc, right? and like

Immediately accepted by mainstream, right? You know I'm saying and for like a lot of people it took years To get to that point. He was right immediately. So when he started Uh, Dave's career. It wasn't necessarily Supported by a lot of black people and the hood. That's just a fucking fact. It's unfortunate You know what I'm saying? But that's just a fact and I personally think like he's always nutty professor A lot of the black audience I said, oh, yeah, the motherfucker's funny You know I'm saying but a lot of you know in a black community a lot of them Didn't respect his brand of comedy, right didn't respect that he didn't have to talk about fucking and sucking

You know, you know, you know, but that was never his brand. So that's why and it was I personally I think nutty professor when it started was like this because I saw him being a comic that's roasted motherfuckers and shit but I honestly believe that When he found that right team And when I say that right team I mean charlie murphy I mean Bill burr. I mean nil Brennan. Yeah, I mean michelle armor one of the second producers

I mean the list could go on and on on what came together. Yeah, because you could have like you could have a motherfucking superstar say like example, uh, I'll say football like, um dan marino Was a superstar quarterback, but never found the right chemistry with the team to win the championship Right, but I think that when he had that collaborated effort from everybody and people his peers people that he respected That's when it happened in a chappelle show. He just aligned himself with the right people and that's when he he got His hood strikes a dream that would be That you could sell a show and then you tell a network

I'm gonna find everybody but I'll tell you and the and the and if the network would just say give it a try And go we'll just give it a try I think it would work out more times than not but a lot of times it won't because you have and then and I have An example Everybody that was we weren't a cast nobody would sound like it wasn't an audition like hey, you're gonna be a part of the team You were only as good as your last sketch You know what I'm saying you're only the last yet So if you rip a sketch then you'd be on the writer's mind to do another one

But he did have the situation where he could say I'm gonna put this guy put this guy but I'm number one comic in particular he had this sketch and um He was just bombing in the sketch. It was just fucking taking forever. He was a diva And all his shit, right? And this was right before that day. We're gonna say we want anybody on the show but he bombed so bad The comic center said okay It couldn't wait

They can't wait to try to tell you take something away. Yeah, they couldn't wait to say all right Listen, we tried your way. We spent so much money in this situation So now we want to open up these roles for everybody in new york And it was interesting for me because In doing that show I had to make a lot of decisions like what am I going to next have whatever so I had asked neil What was my next sketch going to be and I've told this story over and over again What was my next sketch going to be? And he said oh, yeah be you got a um

You got to audition I was like Audition Like my shit is solid. Why do I do audition? Yeah, and the explanation I got was it was that reason and and I'll give this Advice to anybody coming up when you know, don't get caught up and hung up on who you think you are too soon Because I could have easily said I'm not gonna I could have been like offer only You know, I'm not gonna audition again. And I could have said that and I could have rolled the dice

So I'm like, oh, yeah, but I knew if I made that decision then I knew I did not give myself the opportunity so I went in I was kind of cocky in the audition I went in and I smoked this audition and after I smoked it. I looked at the camera. I said so now do I have to audition anymore? And just walked out the room. Yeah, I just walked out the room. Guess what? Yeah, I never auditioned Did you get the part? Yeah, I got the part Yeah, I got the part it was like I got the part and I'm glad I made that decision because No telling how I would have been out of the loop had I not decided like okay

Sometimes you think you prove yourself to people but you know in this business feel like I gotta do this shit over and over again Yeah, I mean even this pandemic. I've put some stuff on tape, right? Yeah, and it's you know, I've you know people have asked, you know will you uh Put yourself on tape and I I have to do it I come in here and then poor jewels is like do I have to do it again? One time we did eight hours remember one scene again again That sucked. I blinked. I blinked and you know what this motherfucker did accidentally deleted all the things we recorded

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't know how to do it. Yeah. Yeah, but my point is is that You know, it's you know, I'm almost you're what 52. Yeah. Yeah, okay I know I've always been this is a funny thing about hollywood always always been like secret about my age because You know what I mean? Oh, you know, you know what it could be. Yeah, and then it wasn't until last week The last podcast I did the first time I was open about it And the reason why I was open about it because I'm like fuck hollywood because like hollywood is almost dead right now You know, and they will have you doing so much stuff to your body to your mental and everything

I'm like, it is what it is. I'll be funny at whatever age. I mean, it might cost some gigs I could die this shit a whole bunch of shit. Yeah, but you know, I don't I don't I think hollywood's changed I mean honestly, you know, I've never been secretive about my age. You know what hollywood has changed Why hollywood has changed we've changed and the thing is that we we're starting to become hollywood Through this whole pandemic like you were talking about you were talking about chappelle summer camp It was something that we started Over the summer right and it was it was started because a need to want to be able to give Entertainment to an audience that was thirsty for it. It was also for comics to be able to work out

But you had to approach this you can't just approach it like you're just going to be reckless or whatever And we created throughout the entire summer we created a somewhat of an NBA bubble When people came to summer camp you had to get tested as soon as you got there you got tested every three days We didn't go outside of the people that we fucked around with. Yeah In the cornfield people were temperate they had the temperature checks They had they think it was a cornfield so they could do the social distancing You know, we did everything and then as the as the summer went on I was like this wait a minute This is not going on in hollywood. Yeah

But we're creating hollywood. Yeah from The guest that came and this the summer david letterman john stewart bill burr chris tucker bob saggett fucking Even the women ali wong ali wong chelsea handler Michelle wolf moe amer. Yeah, I get it. No. It was everybody. No the top the top the cream of the crop and guess where they Guess where they were where yellow springs, oh, yeah, I know, you know, I'm saying the point I'm making is like where we so Connected hollywood. We need hollywood. We need hollywood, but I realized in that situation

We are hollywood and we can create our own hollywood. How effective Doing is when this pandemic first kicked off. How effective was your booking agent? How effective was your agent? They almost disappeared. Yeah, I don't they almost disappeared. Yeah And you like wait a minute Wait a minute It's it's funny because for me in a way, you know, I mean I I had, you know I had created, you know an income for myself

Aside from the hollywood machine, right? So it's like this podcast here. I have another one with andrew santino, right? These are two things that I created on on our own without and if that the dopest thing about it Is that nobody can take it away from me. Yeah, so I don't give fact when we first started podcasting Six five five years ago. They wanted nothing to do with that because it just didn't seem like something I go. Yeah, I call I call people I go Hey, can you help and like well, it's not our business. It's just it's a it's a you know, it's a hobby So do it on your own every age is trying to get some of that right, right? But they don't they're not gonna touch it. They can't get it. They can't get it. Yeah, but it's interesting because for me

For me and when with my relationship with podcasts and everything I thought it was like just some white boy shit You're real and start why why why why why why because white boys listened White boys was interested. This is the album you gotta listen. I'm telling you I thought it was some white boy shit And like I have a young son, right? My son is five years. So cute All right, and for years I've been a row rat and row rat and kind of the birth of my podcast or somewhat of the idea came from Uh Me having a conversation with Joe Rogan, right? And I was talking I was like, yeah, man You know getting kind of like I have to go on the road because that's how I support myself

I said, but now I said it's getting tough because I got to leave my son and I said now I want to maybe um I said, but I'm not I don't make hollywood money. We were talking about outside. I said, I don't make hollywood money I said, but I may need to Try to connect more with it more acting gigs and stuff like that I said, um, I don't make no hollywood money and rogan was like Start a podcast And I was like

And I said I need some money and didn't I google his net worth and shit. I was like Let's revisit. Hey, how do you start? Yeah, producer needs someone. Hey. Yeah. Yeah, but and I had thought about it But I knew I had this Another thing was discouraging for me because I've never been a person on youtube like that and um, I had like Just like just not even being active on youtube. I think I had 20,000 Uh subscribers that I was wasn't doing anything with but then I had a conflict with somebody was doing um My social media whatever and they just shut down all my shit

So I went from that 20,000 which would be a good start to zero and I'm like Joe, I okay, I get the podcast here, but then I'm gonna have to start all over. He was like, it's simple You do a podcast Um, I promoted on all my platforms. You go do everybody else's podcast and next to you know, I was like I don't know these white people like that Right and I'm like and another deal in my head was you know Um, I'm an outgoing person, but I'm not The friendliest person when it comes to like asking for someone for something

Oh, because I was like pockets. You have to guess pockets. I was like, I'm seller. I'm like this man I don't want to call anybody to say could you be on my podcast because everybody's saying could you be on my podcast? So I said I got to do a podcast It's just gonna be me Right. Yeah, I'm a baby bottle too. Like if I asked somebody to do my podcast and they go, I'm pretty busy, buddy I will never ask again. Yeah, and I don't know what that is. It's not because I I'm like, fuck you It's just I don't want to get rejected again. Yeah, right. So I don't want to put myself out there Especially coming from your childhood being rejected in your family. I'm how tough that could be. Yeah. Yeah

Okay Damn, I hit something. He was like It's like this and I told myself I said I'd rather just do the podcast just by myself I was like, oh my god, I have to learn how to talk to just myself You know what I mean? I was like, yeah, and my idea of my podcast was I was like, I want to start it Just me I tried that once I quit my own podcast the first time I sat down and I tried to do everybody podcast one podcast. Yeah, I had some bird I had some you in my pocket. I just said I was gonna do everybody shit first black guy to bring it all to one

And I was in front of that camera for 20 minutes and I just quit I just did like this. I started taking shit off And the producer said, what are you doing? I said quit He said you can't just quit. I said, who's podcast is He said it's good. I was like, well, I quit and not only that I fire you for telling me I can't quit And I started because the way I didn't the thing about it was I had nobody to bounce off or anything, right? And then I was like, oh, that's not gonna work. And then I connected with a young lady. She's good

Oh, the one that you're doing it with I had to who you speak of Where's the last time is she black or white Yeah, because I didn't start with I didn't start with the black cause I started with a white coat. Yeah. No, I only saw the black one Yeah, I saw the white one. I mean I started with the white one. Yeah, I fucked the white one. I did. No, I didn't No, I'm sorry. I didn't I'm starting to say white one. I want to say I did You did

I'm not saying I fucked them you did. I didn't fuck no white one Right, but you you did. I have no you in my life. I fucked a white girl in my life. No, you fucked the one Did I really? Yes. Which one? What's her name? But he'll later after but just say it will be. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did Who is it? Yes, yes, he did. I didn't fuck the jukebox What are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How long have you been following you fucked her?

All right, but don't say that we can't sit on the thing. Why can't you? I've got her name. Wait, was she talked about it? Oh, she oh, she's talked about it. Yeah. All right. Okay. Yeah on air. It's small Is that did she say that? Okay, women don't say I fucked the bird. They say I dated. Oh, okay. My bad. All right. So I didn't know that He did it with her at first. Yeah, but I only saw that you're doing you're doing it with chavanta With chavantas. Yeah. Yeah, I started waiting and I got it I don't have to hear to talk shit about because you know, um, she was already in the podcast world

Right, and she was very supportive and very because I everything and we were good friends. Yeah We still we still mean maintain relationship But it was like when I was seeing she was talking about it. I kept talking about talking about she was like, fucking Let's just go do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know, so I Honestly, I have to say it between Joe Rogan my guy, um, Andy singer bearded here bearded humor and They and um, they were the ones that said fucking do it. So yeah, I started with her We did like four or five episodes and we had a good chemistry. We went back and forth We fought we had good days, but for whatever reason it didn't work out. That's when I didn't like you when I first met you

I have to say something you telling me that you didn't like me. Yeah. Yeah at first wait a minute Do what I know I want it. I just because I in my head. I'm like you guys rewind and go back to the fucking no Deering shit. No, I know. I know just listen to me. Right. I didn't know you right I I'd see you around and I didn't know like and so my my opinion you were it's pretty indifferent It wasn't like I didn't like him, right? I just saw him on stage. I go. Oh my god. He's a beast, right? But I just this is years ago by the way, right? And I remember one time I just I don't know why it popped in my head

I remember one time I was at the laugh factory And you walked in with your son. Your son was young Yeah on your shoulders, right? And that was an asian night. I think too. Yeah, it was I was like the fuck is this guy doing an asian night? Yeah, it was so highly offended. Yeah Well, I know no, they love totally kidding. Yeah. And so when I saw you with your son, I went Oh, like literally, no, I'm just shut up for a second. All right, everyone It made me I never wanted a kid

until I saw that Donnell with it don't know with this kid. Yeah, because I go because I always think of donnell In my mind kind of like me, you know, he's got a he's he's look at he looks like a black gall. I'm look at his body Yeah, skinny arms real weird. Yeah, we're shaking like yeah, we're shaped similar. Right. He's not buff. Yeah, all right And so and also comedy wise. He's just so Funny the funny is is that michael jackson cocaine bit that you did so fucking fun. But anyway, um And when he said when and he just just there to give his son, you know I mean a tour of the club and how close he is and what a good dad he is

I wanted him to I wanted my son to see because he knows I'm a comedian Right, but I wanted him to be Around the comedy vibe. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and I even talked to you about it I think on the show about like what fatherhood means to me. Yeah Yeah, I don't know if you took yourself out of the game or even consider whatever But it's an amazing feeling and then but there's so weird because I had my son later in life We talked about this too where I had got to the point where I'm like, you're not going to have no kids Right. I told myself and you have to be

Mentally prepared for that because it could fuck you up, you know, I'm saying I said I got nieces. I got nephews I got a career whatever and I and I wasn't going to go crazy about it But then when it happened it was super exciting and then when I talked to certain people man, I just Kind of look in their face and Kind of can tell Sort of what they need Yeah, let me ask you something When you look at your kid because I see a bond and a closeness and he loves you so fucking much. Listen to this

Okay I like to be this song he wrote for me the other day. I don't know where. Listen. I like to be with you and I have to play with you all day long with you Because This is my greatest daddy For my life Life, life, life, life, life, life And then I like to play with you before he leaves And then I give him a hug and then we say goodbye

But he'll always come back tomorrow For the day yesterday If you can remember Okay, I know you guys want to have time. That was the second song. This is the first one he wrote I'm fucking crying right now. No, listen. Listen. This is the first one he wrote Because I have to play with you And I so care about you And I last year was waiting on me

And I like to hug And he hugged me I love you Oh man, that's the greatest song All right, okay, I know Yo, son I'm not crying. You're crying I know

But I'm telling you, bruh That's my fuck you, man And I respect, listen What you said about, you know, you had reservations about me or whatever If I could have, it's two things I would want my peers to respect me for One of them is being a dope-ass comedian and wanting the best to do it You know, I don't care about building relationships outside of the stage, like the respect that I always felt like me personally Then, you know, I want you to respect what I do as a craft of that and the second thing is me as a father

You know what I'm saying? And we talked about it on the other show and I didn't have the connection like that with my dad He was around, he was in and out in prison or whatever So when I went out with my son, I always want to create the memories that I didn't create with my father You know what I'm saying? I never went fishing with my father, so I gotta take my son fishing I know this sound crazy when we were doing summer camp, but this is what made summer camp So dope-chappelle show summer camp We gave people that were desperate for entertainment, people that were depressed, standing in the house Didn't know what to do, we gave them an opportunity to go out and feel some type of being normal

You know what I'm saying? But with that, we had activities I've created this person called the River Ninja The River Ninja, and he was birthed because I was sick of fucking Hollywood I'm like, fuck Hollywood, I'm having problems in my fucking relationship I need to get the fuck away from here, I'm gonna kill myself, I'm gonna kill somebody else I went to Yellow Spring and found fucking nature I went on one fucking kayaking trip and I was like this, I'm the River Ninja I'm like yo, this is this head motherfucker

I just had, it's a River Ninja hat, look at how it came out You know how many rivers you gotta have to get this fuzzy part right here, son? I said to myself, I embodied this person and I said to myself, I was like fuck Hollywood I was like, I'm the River Ninja, I said from the streets to the creeks I said from the hoods to the woods I said from horse to oars From Adidas to Tivas, I'm the River Ninja Do you really wear Tivas?

Yes, I love Tivas I love all fucking dog I love white bitches Now listen, you know what, I made fun of them, they're the most comfortable goddamn shoes ever And not only that, you can do anything with them Like you can be walking the trail, which I never did You can be walking the trail and you see a fucking creek and a swimming hole, guess what? You don't have to change your shoes

The first black people I took out on the river in kayak and they put three pairs of sneakers I embraced this, I embraced it because what we were doing, we were creating a sense of hope for an audience But then even in our artistic community, I was playing in shit like kickball games and shit We would have barbecues and shit, we would have fucking dinners man We would fucking go hiking, all this shit that white people kept away from us for so many years I discovered it, it's over Y'all got a nigga in the river, y'all in trouble now But the thing that I like, and the first time I took a trip down the river

I was with my friend Patrick Blake, he's the one, he was my river buddy and shit And we were smoking a joint in the motherfucking kayak And he was like, this is life He said, this reminds you of like building ramps and jumping ramps and fishing for crawdads It's a simple life And in that moment I realized that, you know, we forget what the important things in life are You know what I'm saying, nature is so dope and it don't cause shit You know what I'm saying, you get your peace, it's tranquil

And then I was going down and I said to myself, man I gotta take my son in this river And my theme song for the whole song was Leon Bridges Take me to the river, I wanna go That's my song And then I took my son on the river And then I said, take me to the river, he came back, I wanna go And I said, I looked at my son, he was born in California, right? I looked at him in his eyes, I said, you're a little river ninja

He said, no daddy, I'm a beach ninja He said, I'm a river ninja for you, what? I'm going back to Malibu or whatever But it was just like, that whole experience of being a part of the summer camp man Being able to create memories And even I talked to you about, we was talking about developing shows You said you just sold the show to ABC And I think I'm at the point in my career now where you know we get the certain level of frustration where

I keep doing these auditions And people are telling me no for shit that I really don't want to do I keep telling me, people are telling me no You know what I'm saying, it's a certain point where you make that transition where You know, of course it's something that's a good opportunity to audition But you get a certain point, you don't have the same energy for an audition Because you know that you can create something doper And your situation is a lot different than mine

Because you've created something that can't nobody take away from I have to say that when I was young and younger in the business I was like, I don't think it's going to happen for me I see all these guys get big things And there were a couple years where nothing really happened But what I realized at my age now is I've always had a slow rise You know, my shit has been just very slow I say it all the time, I say you got the tortoise in the hair, right?

Yeah, yeah And then what happens is the thing, especially like you know people you started with People try to compare what your career is to somebody else's Yeah People always tell me all the time, Donny, you're so funny Everything I've seen you and you've been funny You've been funny as a fucking dramatic actor on a wire You've been funny as a dramatic actor on a corner

To little small little Netflix things you've done, you fucking killed that shit Why? I was like, you never know Yeah And the bottom line is as long as you can maintain your happiness on the ride You'll be good Yeah Some people can't Brody

Yeah Our friend Yeah You know, I did a movie with Brody like 26 years ago We was the same management in New York, right? And it was so tragic when I heard the news of that Cause I was like, this dude never stopped trying You're gonna make me cry again

He never stopped trying Yeah Until he finally stopped trying You're gonna make me cry again And the thing is Fuck you man People say I'm the life of the party Cause I tell a joke or two

So take a good look at me now You know, I'm frowning My face Yeah, yeah, smile The tears of a clown But you know what I'm saying? That's the side, that's the side of our business That's the side of our business

Yeah, yeah That's the side of our business This is what I told you out there, right? I go Okay, this is how I know Oh, I gotta do a shout out to real quick Do a shout out to E.B. Chateau Nah, E.B. Chateau, that's Dave Chateau's youngest son

And they were running late And I didn't have a spot He didn't give me a spot So he goes You want to go up after Donnell And we were watching you sitting there You go up And toward the end of your set

I looked at Adam and goes Nope I will not Nope He's like, why, you pussy I go, yeah I'm a fuckin' pussy That guy is so fuckin' funny tonight

He's killing it But you know what? Let me finish I'm telling you right now And then I thought about it on the ride home I'm like, oh my god, you coward And I was wondering why Why didn't you do it?

You know what I mean? And there was Your act was so dynamic In terms of your energy Your voices The physicality, the timing And also the relevancy of it There was nothing in my act

Here's the thing, Bobby Shut up! Let me finish Okay, go ahead Sorry Young Young Thank you

And I remember looking at Adam and going Wow And that's all I said And I remember Adam going, yep Yep He said, yep Yeah, I go, wow And he goes, yep

And then I remember getting in my car Acting, feeling like a coward And I just have this feeling about you Right? That it's, this is Not just your time I think this is our time And it feels good

It feels good It feels great But it's so funny you say that It's because I've been in a situation before Right? And I said Like you said You said there's nothing in my act

And that's when As crazy as it may sound Is that Act has to go away You know And it's something that you connect with Everybody can't do it It's something that you connect with

That fucking brings you up to that And I've heard comedians Have an issue with following me When we were doing some again This is a true story I'm not going to lie I was doing a show I forgot

With Bobby Kalala And Darnell Rawlings Hello, Mama and Papa Slep I've been married to my beautiful wife For seven years We are an interracial couple Of Hispanic and Asian However, we live in Texas

Where open-mindedness On interracial couples Is still not there What? And people of all races Are guilty of this Plenty of times People tend to glance

And stare sometimes In an uncomfortable level Which does bother me To the point where I want to begin Making remarks to them But I would like to avoid conflict What kind of mental attitude

Should I take to avoid This becoming a greater problem In my head Or being able To just shove this To the wayside And not care Do I answer that question?

I've almost had this scenario I was Danish Italian woman From Los Gatos Years ago, right? And this was a small town I could tell that they weren't All about the interracial She was a white chick

Black dude And I could tell that They weren't all I could I felt like The community wouldn't be As accepted And I remember

We were holding hands One time going down the street And I told her I said, you know what? We don't have to do this If it's going to She was like, no She said, we got to show it

She said, because If we're uncomfortable We're going to make those people Feel uncomfortable You know what I'm saying? So my advice would be to You got You have to continue

To live your life And you show the affection That you want And your And as long as nobody Put their hands on you Or anything like that Fuck them, look
