  Speaker 1: cat for bringing coming to the forefront of entertainment. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: if you've been around a long time, you know you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going to get ten minutes in this game. So you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: got to capitalize off this because next week it'll be
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: something else.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yep, for sure, next week something he's had a choke hold.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The first couple of weeks, a couple of weeks after
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: New Year, you know, Puffy happy you Uffy's happy, Yeah,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: because we're not talking about him no more. A lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of people are happy, yeah, everybody. Nobody's happy, yeah, Joe,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but everybody's talking about something else.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So it's it's it's a good moment now for sure.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: When you saw the interview, because I don't know if
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: you watched all of it, because I didn't watch any
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So what I did was I talked to different people,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and I saw different clips, and I was able to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: segue and put my own to lots two and a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: half hours to that. So I did my own thing
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: on it. But when at first I had one opinion,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: what was that first to other opinion was I felt
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't like Shannon shop allowing Kat to talk about
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: everybody because as a man, I felt like, yo, we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: don't do that on this show, he's supposed to stop him.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: As a man.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's how I moved, But then someone told me no,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: te those people went on those shows prior to him coming.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Which is almost why he wanted to go.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: On exactly, and they talked about him, and that's what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it started.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So then they got what they deserved. Yeah, it was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: kind of like fair game at yeah point.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And I'm here to defend myself and retort
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: everything that I've been said on the same platform. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: when I saw that, I respected that and I left
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it that way.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: How much of what Kat was saying, would you say,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: is you know, entertainment inflated?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And how much of it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Because I feel like that there was there was enough
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: truth in there for people to get to talking. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: feel like there was also certain stuff, like I would.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Say ninety nine percent, well if it was inflated, right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: especially the running the running the forty eight, because I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: think I talked about it on the stay talking about
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it because what I used to run track, right, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: used to run track like you know, and and if
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: people don't know something, well you run the track at
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: seasign out here, I sure was, Yeah, and I was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on my way to the Olympic trials when I was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out here. Wow, And the thing about track and people
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: don't know it. You believe almost anything. And I tell
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: people Cat said he could run a four to four
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: at fifty years old. And I said, Deion Sanders, who
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was one of the fastest peop in the world, ran
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a four to one when he was twenty something years old, right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And Cat said he ran that fast with sweats on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: as a fifty year old man. As a fifty old man,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you just don't add up. So I put twenty thousand
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: on the bed out there the race, Cat, Now, it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not going to be a fast race, but you'll win.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'll win. It's not gonna be a fast race. If
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: people are saying four to four is fast, me and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Cat literally we can probably run a forty your dash
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and seven seven six ' nine, maybe seven to three several.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That's my prediction. And you haven't a good with the expert.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: So I don't know here because I'm sixty three years old.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So in sixty three you're not running a four something.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's impossible. Or at fifty or fifty I'm not sure
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you sained Bolt. Maybe when you say boats fifty maybe
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe, Yeah, it's fifty six years old.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You ain't run an fs.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Talk about a few of the things you were saying
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: on stage that I was that I one of the
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: things I wanted to talk to you about because something
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: that i'd heard. I've been hearing a lot more people
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: who are more I guess, financially literate than me. Okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: talk about how to leverage life insurance?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Good question, ma, man. Well, the insurance game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Is really because I'm very confused about it, but I've
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: heard it so many times and people who I know
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, you know, you can get tax free money.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Like so it's a lot of levels of the tax right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So let's take whole life insurance. Whole life insurance. If
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you created a policy, you call you whoever your agent is,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: your stay farm, and you say, hey, I want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: open up a whole life insurance policy. Let's just take
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a hundred thousand, you put one hundred thousand in and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: over of course the time that money will grow so
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: fast that you become your own bank. So let's say
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: now you want to get a hundred thousand, and so
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you got two eighty thousand, but you want to take
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: seventy five thousand out to buy car, put business and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: business whatever. You can do that and they won't tax
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you on the money. What they do is you'll still
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: pay what you're paying on that policy, but when you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: die it comes out, they take it off the top.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh so you're almost like borrowing from yourself after you die, exactly,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: but it's tax free exactly. That's whole life insurance and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: they and these are things I think they should teach
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you school.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, because at any given time, if an emergency happens,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: or you have a business opportunity present itself, and you
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: might think to yourself, well I don't have it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You don't have it. But if you had this.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: So let's say you get one hundred thousand dollars insurance
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: policy life insurance policy and.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You want to take five thousand hours ten thousand, you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: don't have to pay that back. They they'll take it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: when you when you die, as long as you keep
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: paying your powerty. You got to keep paying the policy. Ye,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you got people came in the policy. But you can
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: do that. Do people like can you have multiple multiple
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: life insurance pops?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, for sure.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Some of you like Derek Jeter has the policy on
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: everybody and his family.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like, I feel like when you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: hear that out loud, it sounds bad as bad why.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, right, But it's smart. And people are afraid to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: take that insurance good, especially some men. If your wife
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or a daughters and dad, we should take out insurance.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Some people say no because you don't want to make
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the other person rich. You don't want the other person.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: That's the mindset of most people. But in the actuality,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: people afraid to create a legacy have to have a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: legacy to and that's one of the best ways insurance
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to do that if you have, But then structure it too,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: because when you get free money, you're.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Gonna run through it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that's that's why most
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: people they turn eighteen, they get a credit card.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: If you leave anybody any money and they didn't work
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: for it, unless they have true discipline or very very frugal,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they running through it, yo, because they never had that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: kind of money at one time. Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Because I know some people will set up like a
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: trust to pay out your family once you're right, yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you're a certain amount, or you got to do something
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: like you got to go to school, you got to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: get a degree, and you're going to get this payment exactly.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You have to structure it. But I know people that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: got millions and ran through it in a couple of years.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: One of my female friends and she inherited one point
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: two million less than a year and a half. It
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was going, you know how. He answer was, I had
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a good time.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But now what exactly?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that up because the world
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: needs to hear this, you know. And then you got
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a thing called term life insurance. And term life insurance
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is like about nine years, you know, but you pay
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: on it every month. It's protection you want to be.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You want no man should be walking the street without
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: some sort of insurance just in case you die. You
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to put that burden on your family, you know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So you have term life insurance. But the clever thing
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: about term life insurance is after nine years, they give
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you every dime back of like a saving's account, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that's called surrender you. They'll send you something in the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: mail because you're alive. Yeah, they have, they have.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: They send us in the mails that you could surrender
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: your account. And then sending.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You could fill out the farms, they send you back
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: all that money every time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Can you borrow against the term?
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: But that's just something that is instead of you putting
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: does it grow in.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: That it doesn't grow, but you're protective. But imagine years,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: nine years you put.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Something in there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: And also that money isn't it's yours. If you don't die,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: you're getting it back.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, and if you don't want to be insured anymore.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Right, So let's say six years in you're like, you
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: know what, I'm good, I need my money back.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, that can't won't do it that well, Ok,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you when it's time to serve. They want
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you to serve into you account. You can't tell them.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You can't say I got this money here. It's not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a bad idea to do a version of both.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So the insurance thing, and you want to have burial
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: insurance is that for when you pass? Yes, because it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: one thing. There's life assurance and you get Bury insurance.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Bury insurance is strictly for the funeral, right, but then
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you let the people you love. You could take that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: or you could take the money out of the life
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: insurance policy and pay for the burial. My kids is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all set up, you know, I got my stuff.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: That one. I'm not having the funeral, so I'm getting cremated. Boom.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to even a service. So you've already
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thought about all that. Yeah, mostly the our people don't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: know your grandparents. At least people I know have their
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: whole funeral and everything se that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: So for you, you'd rather be premated and then have
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: your bread.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Is either either cremation or I want my I want
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: my ashes to become a tree. Oh yeah, or you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: put my whole body.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: In the ground. And this this thing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I forgot what my daughter said, and I could grow
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: as a tree. And if you're in a certain place.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do something unique and different.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: But I feel like a funeral is like a vain
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: thing to think about having because you're not there.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You're not there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But you know who did it the best in my lifetime,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth m hmm. It was on TV. Yeah, you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: saw how heffy you know it was. Did you even
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: look at it?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I saw some of it. Listen to me.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It was masterful.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I think that funerals help families grieve. That's true because
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: it brings everyone together, and you know it helps.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you how I look at it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I lost my mother, my dad, all my brothers who
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I was forty. I've been to so many funeral as
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you to drive your head crazy as I've gone through life.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You know, people invest in a lot of things, right,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: People invest in gasoline, tesla, stock and all that. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: want people to invest in their time. Time is the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: most precious commodity that you have that's taking for granted. Sure,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and when I passed, I'm giving the world a gift.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying to you, don't come to my feral
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this time that you have. Continue doing what you're doing.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Just take a moment to say T to the MFK
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and keep it moving because I don't. I'm not saying
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that I want to waste your time. I just understand
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: how powerful time is. And that's my gift to the people.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I want them to really take their time seriously because
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: could you imagine everybody.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Had a dollar for it all.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: The time that they wasted it is crazy and the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: amount of things that we can waste our time on
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: now is greater than ever.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, Because there's a terminology most people don't use called
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: time wasters. We all have met them people in our
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: life wasting your time, and we always met somebody that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: was a time waster.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's crazy someone who doesn't respect your Yes, yeah, it happens.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a few of those people.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So when I do business on the phone, what I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: do is for someone who someone is talking to me
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: about doing a show. Yo, before we hang up the phone,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you gotta send me two to five thousand dollars. That
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: way I know you're serious. You're not getting off the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: phone with me, and I picked up that call and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you going about your business. You decide you're going to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: do something else because you wasted my time. And it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: also makes sure that when people reach out to me,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: they are prepared. What it is a lot of men,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know they're not prepared. When
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they call you, they'll say, oh, i'm thinking about No,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not the person you think about. When you called me,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you should have been known what you're doing. We're doing this,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: we're not doing Yeah, yeah, don't play with me. Do
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: your homework and then call me right then, do your homework.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Didn't call me. Yeah, I'm too busy and I stay booked.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say, you mentioned this on stage.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Obviously you did the ice House for the first time ever.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first time ever, which it's a legendary comedy venue.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's been opened sixty some odd years.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: But you were kind of you gave us a peek
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a bit into like the business side of your deal.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: You get a ninety you get ninety percent.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Of the door.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I get ninety, which I think because coming from the
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: music world, we just think of an artist. They get booked,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: they get their money, they get their back end, then
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: they leave however the show does. However the show does.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: But you you're structuring it to where you're the promoter.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I'm actually the promoter.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I'll put up the money.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Hey, their venue is going to make their ten percent,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and then they're going to make their food and their
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: liquor and all that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. But you're going to be able to get
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: your ticket, be able to get my money back that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I spent to put in for advertising. And I've always
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: been that way. So when I see is that pretty common?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: No?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, most honest feel I think in the music industry,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you got to have an agent because the book and venue.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But in comedy you need people to help you. It's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: just that me. You know, me and my son. You
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: know how we move. So I'm just a guy who
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: over the years made relationships.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can call most of these club owners
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: at this point, oh yeah, easily.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I do. And I booked myself
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: years in advance, like literally right now, I'm booked for
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the next ten years. That's crazy, that's insane. I've been
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like that my whole career. I always always got to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm doing next year.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like watching you because I feel like we
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: get so much of you through podcasts. Yes, but I
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: feel like you have to have a special on Netflix.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: So it's coming because by watching you, brother, like I've
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: seen everybody live. I'm a comedy nerd, so I'll go
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: to the store and if one of my if a
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: comedians in town that I like, I'll pay and I'll
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: go watch it right now. But watching you live, I
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: was like, Yo, this is like as much as it's hilarious,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and I'm crying out of my eyes, I like left
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: with like, I like how you you finished? But then
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: you said, everyone hang out for another ten minutes so
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I can give you guys some game, cause you exactly
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: you would hit your liker your last joke, but you
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: were like, we're gonna hang out. But it was very
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: much like kind of like it was like it was
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: like a mixture of like, you know, life coaching and
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: a stand up and I.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Love that feeling.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And when anybody sees me, that's exactly what they take.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: My high school coach, who loves everybody from Red Fox
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: down to Daves Chappelle, he said, he saw my who
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: raised you special? He said, TK, I've seen them all.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: There's nobody like you. So I took the long round.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Since I'm I'm doing Netflix because of people like yourself
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and them Spin. I have my own network or tk
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: dot network, and I have my own specual. I don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have Many's Kat Williams, but I have my own specials.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Then my own thing did very very well, and I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna do Netflix and I'm working on it now.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Like my deal with Live Nation is set up.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Told me to do my Netflix special and when I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: do my netflace, I'm going to do something really unique.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: My goal now is to.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I never did any of ice cubes movies, but I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: want ice Cube the direct mom because I started with
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: n Wa. I want to use Baby because he took
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: me on the Cash Money rough Rider Tour. I want
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to use Doctor Dre as one of the producers. I'm
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: going to give all them a check because I came
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: up through hip hop. I didn't come up like the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Rocks and the Kevin's. You were working out on
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: stage in front of a hip hop crowd, right, I
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: was in front of a hip hop crowd twenty thousand
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and thirty thousand in the nineties when we was at
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: when hip hop was at the top of the game.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And when I do this Netflix special, I wanted to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: be so unique. It's so amazing that it has the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: same effect of what you just said that when you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: lead there or when you watch it, you go, what
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: did I just witness? And I don't have to do
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: nothing special. All I gotta do is just be me
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and that's what's going to come across.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy too, because I feel like nowadays more
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: people are trying to do comedy than ever because it's
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: so easy to get access to Like I could do
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a bit and it might not work if I'm doing
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: it at an open mic, but if I record it
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and I make it reel out of it with captions,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: it might work online, which is happening a lot. But
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I feel like the number one thing is the same
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: thing with music is the stage presence, your delivery. Like
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you had a guy open for you who I thought
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: was okay, but the host that was hosting your show
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: was so good. Yes, And what was different about him
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: than the other guy was I just felt like the
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: presence of like like he could have said anything, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: would have laughed.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Right, That makes sense, right, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: he was hilarious.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Delivery presence, but like to me, that's kind of like
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: for you, it's like like you command that stage man.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that's one thing I do know I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: have I have on what they call stage for Yeah, yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I definitely have that. So I love it coming through
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this week doing the different clubs and having everybody come
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: up to see me a true blessing. And because the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: less since the last time I seen you, I have
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: skyrocketed on the intermedia game social media. It's a whole
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: other level and I just really found my niche and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: just really waking up in the morning giving my opinion
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on something. Right now, I've seen you post like you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: have your quotes and have my quotes, and man, it
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: just really takes off. But in actuality, I'm just you
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: know me for a while, I'm just really just being me,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and people find that fascinating. So I'm just gonna run
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with and see what it does.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: You said something, uh that was this a true story
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: where you said you were you were taking care of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: a young lady. She had a place was it in Chicago?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And you showed up and you were cracking jokes and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: some dudes laughing under the bed.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Here's the here's a great thing about those type of jokes. Yeah,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: it's like a magician who can't tell the secret to magic.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That makes sense, you know what I mean? So I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: want people to leave.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Is that true? Right? Or is that a real joke?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But then say, you got to really be clever to
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: come up with something like that, So good, Yes, think.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: You talk to me about where like like, do you
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: even like pay attention to other stand up like if
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Dave if Dave Chappelle drops a special what she dropped
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: on New year's did.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: You check it out?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And I didn't check it out. I know he's funny.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I catch Dave and most comedians and bits and pieces,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but I always had this rule, never watch another comic
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: perform because when they're good, you're going to actually take
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: something that without even thinking about it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I don't even think sub conscious.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So when I see comedians watching me, it hurts because
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: they don't know the rule, because I know my stuff
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: is funny, and if you watch me, I know you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: going to take something to mind, flip it and break
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it down as much as possible.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: But you got it from me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I know you had said before that you've had some
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: bits stolen ish.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I had.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: In my days, of younger days, I used to do
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a thing called things Questions, series of questions matter of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: fact we had we've been trying to find it. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: did it on the Apollo, I did it everywhere, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: it was a series of questions. I go, why a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: lucky child so magically delicious? And where is the honeycomb
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: hide out? Is it downtown? And why do old people
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: walk her early in the morning? Do they have somewhere
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to go? And it was like a series it got me.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It got me a stand in elevation at the Apollo
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in New York City. So what I told people that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: our City Hall, all his staff they took that bit,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: flipped it and made it things that make you go
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: hm mm hmm. And I told people that my foundation
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of that material went on to make people hundreds and
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. And what I mean by that is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: our Cenal Hall did it. But if you google, there
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: was a group called C and C Music Factory that
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: did a song that things that make You Go. Then
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Crafts and Macaroni and Cheese also did a commercial and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they used the cheese as it was melting and in
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the background the song was things that make You Go Home,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: saying that the macaroni and cheese was so delicious it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Would make you go.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: All that came from TK and I just never I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: just never checked about it. But I moved different than
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: most people.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: For sure. For sure, you're not I mean, you're not petty.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not petty. Yeah, I'm not petty. Most of these
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: guys are petty. Most of these guys are petty.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: There's a they ego driven.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about that. I did my thing.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm working, and I've always been this way. I've never
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: been petty. And I tell people that if someone steals
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: your joke, actually called that person as a man and say, yo,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you you're doing my bit, and let me tell you
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: how it's exactly like mine. Oh, I saw you at
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: my show and you saw me do that, which is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: even worse. He's even worse because now you're being disrespectful.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But to actually go on air and say someone stole
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: my joke because it's not their set. Well, we've seen
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: people like really have their careers hit a wall because
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of the joke stealing. Yes, but let me tell you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm glad you're bringing this up. There's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: a difference between a set and a joke. Okay, your
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: set is what you do for sixty minutes, right, That's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that's your whole, that's your whole act. No one's stealing that, right.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Someone stole a one minute joke. So if you had
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand in the bank, right, and someone stole one
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars at that fifty, you're.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Not gonna get rid of the rest the money. Right.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So I can't tell another comic what he should be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: mad about my purpose of these interviews that I'm doing
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: is to give people another way to see something. Okay,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: what is a joke? And people's like, oh, you stole
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: this joking. It makes sense you stole this whole show.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But in actually wality, you just stot a joke. You
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: didn't steal the set. A joke don't make you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Your set makes you.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Why don't you film your sets for social media like
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: other comedians are doing.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: One is because I don't want other comics to see it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And two, there's magic on stage with me?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: There is? Do you agree? I agree? There's magic. Agree,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: See it again because every time there's a new beginning.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Every show that I do is a different show. And
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: if you see one, if you see your set, guess
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: what you're going to try to repeat that again. So
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I take what I do track and anything in life.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: When I ran track and I was good, just because
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I was good last week don't mean I'm be good
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: this week. So I took that through my whole life.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: And just because I was funny when you saw me,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: that don't matter no more. Can I be funny tonight?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: But you gotta find different ways to say, whin if
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you had to be a boxer, right, if you're a boxer,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you know you could beat this person. But you know what, today,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. I can't deliver that same energy. Well, the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: audience is different. But if you still find a way
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to be clever, still find a way to be funny, entertaining.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, work in the crowd, the crowd sitting in front.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: You were clowning on these guys in the front road.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The young was hilarious. God, it was hilarious.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And as long as the people walk out entertained.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: You were hilarious.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: So I think the other end of that is, or
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the other side of that coin is if I saw
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: you do what you did to those kids, yes, they
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: were sitting in the front row, that there was three
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: single young men. If I saw that on TikTok or
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: on Instagram and I didn't know who you were, I'd
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: be like, yo, I need to follow this guy. That
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: was great, and then I might be inclined to go
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: see you live.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, because there are some comedians who do the crowd
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: work and they showld that, but when you go see him,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: they're not that funny because that's not the same situation.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: That's going to happen that night. True, because the crowd
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is always going to be different.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: It's always going to be different because.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Like you see, like have you heard of Matt Rife?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: So Matt Rife he's doing like he's had a very
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: insane come up the last twelve months. So he has
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: he has a Netflix special, but he blew up off
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: of his crowd work bits going viral on his Instagram.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And he's a good looking young Okay, oh I know
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: somebody used to manage him. Okay, yeah, you just talking
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: about him last time looking young guy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: But he's very much new and I mean it's a
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: meteoric kind of rise in the comedy where I've heard
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: other comedians talk about it like, you know, like it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: kind of unparalleled how fast he's come up. Yes, because
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: he didn't have to go through the bumps and bruises,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: you know, perform for ten people.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Right, and before you even tell me what happens, I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: can tell you what how his career is. When you
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: watch him, I bet you he's not that funny. Well
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it'saw u standable. It was it was it was okay, yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: it was mediocre because not that he won't be funny, right,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: he hasn't put the time, and it's the time. To
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: be a great comic, you need years of experience. You
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have to experience life. You have to go through things.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: That's why when you saw Richard Pryor, he talked about
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: his drugs, his situation. What made it funny because he
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: was living life. If you're twenty something years old, you
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: ain't lived, right. You talk about sneakers and condoms maybe
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and smoking a little weed, but you haven't lived.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And when you have lived and you.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Have experience to experience, that's the experience.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: It keeps you more material.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: It's almost like if you're once you're a rapper, It's
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: like once you hit a certain level of success, it
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: gets harder and harder to draw inspiration to make music
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: that is relatable to that.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, because you're older now and rapping, believe it or not,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is a young kids game.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: It's almost like when jay Z did four four four,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: it was like, oh shit, right, he made like an
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: album for like a forty year old motherfucker, who right,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: doing grown man, which is hard to do and it
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: be accepted.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, it's so true.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's how that the game is. But it's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: good to see when I started in nineteen eighty five,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it's good to see so many different ways you can
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: make it in this business, like the gentleman you talking about,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: or for CrowdWork.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: It's also great to see that.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: The audience, the fans, are starting to tell what is
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a gimmick? Mmm.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like the gimmicks are going away. It's about
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the It's about the jokes.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about quality because they're getting tired of being
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: played that. I saw you on TikTok. He was hilarious,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and I come to your show. I spent one hundred
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: seventy five dollars two hundred dollars and I didn't get
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what I wanted out of your show. It's like fifty
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: fifty cent is going these world tours. I know, these
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: young rappers came canceling, got a and canceling it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I saw I went to the fifty tour and I
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: was like, you know, I've been to shows that were better.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I've been to shows that I understand as a younger man,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: you know, as a younger hip hop fan. But I
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: don't remember a show in the last ten years that
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I was more just I just had such a good time.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, because I was like, he gives a great show, fifty.

  Speaker 3: you know, like we don't get those mega mega mega
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: hip like you were talking about the cash money Reference store,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: like the days of that shit is like people were
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: It's like, I feel like everything feels like a cash grab.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. And that's sad.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And even in the comedy world, it's a cash grab.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: People will come to your show, like I don't charge
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to take pictures after the show, and people will charge
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you all that money meet and Greek meet. Yeah, you
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: charge them for meeting greet. That's a cash grab. And
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it's deeper than that. To me, it's deeping that I'm saying,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: thank you, let me shake.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Your hand and I'll see you next time. I'll see
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: you next time.

  Speaker 1: because I want you to come back, and I want
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you to know I appreciate you spending your hard earned money.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: To come see me.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: You had to go get a babysitter, you had to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: tell somebody you'll be back in a few hours, gonna go.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: See TK kirkle.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I understand all that. I don't want to rob you
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, I want to try you for
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: my tickets, give you a great show and have them
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: leave the same way. Be a memory, you take a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: picture exactly.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: So that was it, and you were so genuine because
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you could look someone in their eyes, and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: when you came out of the show, I just saw
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it in your face like you was truly plead for sure. Yeah,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's what I love.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was what I mean.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Like I said, dude, I like going to the store
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: sometimes because I'll be able to watch like ten guys, right,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I'll be able to eat wings, have drinks right, right,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: maybe like three of the ten.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I love you, yes, right, But to like sit down
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and just be like, oh shit, this I felt like
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I just went to church, right, Yeah I was. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: get on it. I get on it, and like I said,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I dropped the knowledge. Then you saw the fun, Then
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you saw the personality. Then you saw the appreciation, meaning
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: shaking your hands after what saying thank you like a pastor.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: For sure, that's what it was. What would be the
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: advice you would give. Let's say there's a stand up
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: but just started. They're going to open mics, trying to
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: improve their trying to improve the craft. You know, so
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: it feels like a very very uphill battle to break
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: through to actually kind of eventually make money.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: That's so true, you know, Yeah, you're right.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: So I guess, I guess what for you would be
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: the advice you would give, because it's this is not
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a sprint.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: No, you got to know who you are. And Paul
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Mooney said it best when I first started and I
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: was asking questions just like that, and he said, TK,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: there's no substitute for experience. You got to put the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: work in. Forty years ago, this would it seemed like
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a lifetime, right, It's like a ten thousand hours thing exactly.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You can't cheat the work. And then you if I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: could tell people, if you if you know how to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: handle your own business, try to handle your own money,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: try to book yourself if you come into some money
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and you're funny, start booking out your own venues and
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: get as a team, and you could really sell your
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: your own tickets and go to certain cities and book yourself.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But people go, they get an agent and ages, some
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: ages just robbing the kids.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: They don't understand it. You know.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: We talk about Taraji Henderson who is Henderson Henson? Yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and how she did a movie. The budget was one
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven million, but she only got one
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand of a hundred. You ain't even
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in that business. But you know that ain't a fair deal.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: God's crazy, for sure. You know that anfair deal, especially
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: when you are in the top three co stars. Has
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Cube ever tried to put you in something? Here's the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: thing about earlier, and I need people to know something.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Q put a lot of people on tons, Chris Tucker,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Kat Williams, Kat Williams, Mike Apps. But I want everybody
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to know that easy e in ice Q. I was
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: their first comic, their first out of everybody, I was
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: there first because they found me in nineteen eighty eight.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: These other kids, these other guys are fifteen, sixteen years old.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: They took me on the first torch straight out of Compton.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: The thing that I didn't do like most comedians, I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: didn't go Hollywood. I didn't want to audition. I didn't
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: want to do TV. Everything I did, from Baller Blocking
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to New Jersey Drive to Ben Diesel's Moving Straights, I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: was invited to do. I was invited, got my money
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: because that person truly wanted me. My philosophy was, I
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: think it's difficult to go to do it audition. True,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you know you're good for that part, but there's forty
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: four thousand men going up for the same part you
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: are going after, and you gotta take a chance to
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: do that. I never had that kind of time. I
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: came up as a hustler.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Because you're shooting, You're really shooting shots, hoping one goes in. Eventually,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: let's to get apart.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: That's it and be great.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: But maybe this person had a bigger name than you,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and that person was nowhere near your talent, but because
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of politics, they gave it to that person.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it's almost like when you were originally coming up,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: it was all about trying to get on.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: TV right right, If you commediate, if you can get
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: a sitcom. I never want to do a sitcom. I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: had somebody approach me about doing the sitcom this weekend.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, because you do not do this thing
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: called homeowners association, you know.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: And they was like, you said, that's what you said.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: You said, I'm president of the homeowners association. And they said,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: t that's a great TV show.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And it is. Though, it is a great TV show.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: But the thing about what I know, I understand reality
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: blacks on TV is not the move. Really, it's hard
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: to have all black show on ABC. Some of the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: best cvs the shows are back in the nineties, it
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: was black was Anthony Anderson.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very rare. Think about it for a second.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: That's very rare. I like Top Boy, Top Boys on that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Think what I'm about to tell you. We might get
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: one black shell now.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: The Shy is good though, yeah on Showtime.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's not a comedy though, no comedy, yeah, just
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: about its comedy.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I feel like those shows are I feel like unfortunately,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: like comedy sitcoms are just like dying, it's dyed.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: There's more.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: The reality TV shows have replaced sickcom and and it's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: cheaper to produce.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Way cheaper. To produce.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: So everything now is cheaper to do, but the person's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: putting out the money is walking away with a lot
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: more if they did a sitcom. I just never wanted
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to get caught up in bad negotiation. I never wanted
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to get caught up in not feeling I was getting
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: paid my work.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I have to prove something.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: TK do that and then we could get you.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Now I'm already proven myself. Yeah, I'm not doing like
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: my self. Worth isn't the weather or And I haven't.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Really done TV and I got a little bit more
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: paper than people that have done it. But I've done
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: it myself. I cut out the middle man. It's like
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: my man on American Gangster what's his name? You're talking
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: about a friend, Zel Frank. You cut out the middle man.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I've cut out the middle man.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: So but but this is the thing, right because I
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: feel like the other way to look at it would
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: be if you are if you can, if you can
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: get a successful TV show. Again, that's a big if
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: because most shows only last one to two seasons.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Right, can't That's the thing.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: If you can, if you can the royalties, if you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: can get seven years, you got a cash cow for
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life. The reruns are going to
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: piss the reruns, right, but it's very especially now. Maybe
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in the nineties you had a better chance.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Right now it's way harder. Now it's way hard. You
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: got to kind of do more of a serious show
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: or like a hybrid like drama.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm going to try to do I got
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: something that works with Tim's story.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Tim story.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: We've done all the major movies back in the day,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the a couple of Marvel movies, et cetera. He's a
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: young brother that I met in Chicago be where he
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: got famous, and as you know, I've met everybody.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: So he's one of my guys.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And I caught his attention because of my Instagram and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: he said, TK, just like you, he said, the way
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you tell a story, your presence, He said, I.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Gotta do something with you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: So he's also on one of the guys that I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: might direct my special for Netflix because Cube was probably
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: gonna turn it down, but.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: But you go out of respect.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I just want to share that with them because before
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: all this got too weird, it was.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: It was t K.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Kirkland number one on the list in hip hop. That's
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: what I wanted The world to know too, because I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: was the original hip hop comedian. When I started, there
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: was nobody doing some tours.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, because you kind of paid the way for
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: guys like Alex Thomas, who did.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Exactly Yeah, and Alex is my man. You know, Alex
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: came to when Alex started doing stand up comedy, he
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: came to actually talk to me like I was that
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: guy to talk to, and I explained to him and
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the rest is History's doing well and I love that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I had something to do with that.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: What was it like being in baller Blocking, which is
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: a hood classic?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Obviously all the black was amazing and that all happened
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: because of jay Z and Nelly. Yeah, because I was
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: on the Hard Knock Life tour and that I left it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: There was another tour that Nelly and then was doing.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I was on that talk I got the name of it,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: and no, it was jay Z.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: It was jay Z. Yeah, it was Rocked.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: It was Rocked.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: We were in New Orleans.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And Baby and them was there and Baby walked.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Up to me.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It was the Sprite Remix tour. Yeah, whatever, it was,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the sp Remixed tour.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: It was Nelly and jay Z. It was I think
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: it was the Sprite Tour.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nelly was on it. Jay Z was on it,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I think, and I was the host of that too,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and Baby walked up to me and you know how
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: they took said whatever wall they Yeah, he said, listen,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this movie. Go ball of blocking and the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: rest is history. And I got to and enjoy his
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: energy because he was either he had just came into
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. He was shopping not for one person,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: he was shopping for fifteen twenty people shopping clothes.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: And I remember my homie was well.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I remember at one time he bought four Bentley's at
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: one time at one time. So he was so generous
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: and in the in that era that I feel like
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: before like scamming was popping to get four Bentley's is crazy, yo.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: And this is when Bentley's really rise came out. For sure,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: there was. It was truly a massive statement.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: You had a Bentley you could see it Bentley now
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: rolling around out. Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: But then nineteen ninety eight nobody.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Had Bentley's Nobody.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're all in the I remember, like I said,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we was hold in the car dealership and he's buying
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the cars. And you know, sometimes you don't look at someone.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: They might just be in a good mood and pick you. Yeah,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so I told them home, you don't look at him.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: You might get us a car. Know what, mae get
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: us a car?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you know it didn't happen, but it was hilarious.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: That's how generous baby is. So you know I can
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: always say that about him. Uh.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I appreciate your perspective on the dichotomy between men and
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: women and relationships. And I have to ask you. Uh,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to present a scenario to you, and I
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: want your take on it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Let's say you're fifty years old. Yes, you
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: get divorced.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, within Uh, Let's say you meet a young lady
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: who's thirty one. Right, you're fifty, she's thirty one. Four
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: to five weeks later, you're with this young lady and
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: you have decided to get her name tattooed on your
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: body four to five times.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's that's insane. Okay, Yeah, that's insane because
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you're a free man. Finally, you're a free man. But
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: what most men do. They look for the most difficult
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: thing to do in their life. They instead of taking
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: an easy route, most men will go down a path
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of difficulty and set themselves up for pain again. And
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: some people may be unnecessary unnecessary stress because if you're
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: fifty and you got a girl that's thirty, she still
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: hasn't lived yet. So all you can do is, you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you dig it down, you take a shop and buy
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: she feels good, and because she's still a child right
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: thirty one, she hasn't lived. So in today's world, that's
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: called a simp in a sense because these girls don't
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: they don't respect a man like that, if it was
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: a sixty something you're a woman, or like even a
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: forty five girls, even forty five thirty one, with the
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: way the world is today, just to have that there
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: on the phone talking about the man.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Who they're pretty used pretty much using. You're like, oh, yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: he brought me this, he brought me that.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, because of a woman who's like actually
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: understands the way the world works already. Would look at
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: somebody who would get four tattoos on their body in
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: four weeks of their name and be a.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Little absolutely something. He's something wrong with him, he's crazy.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: He's a psycho. Yeah, man, you know you're talking about
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: it and and the thing that I wanted to make
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: sure you don't know he's here. He's here, ladies. I
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: didn't I didn't want to change who I was with
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: my answers. No, that's just the answer here because in fact,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: because I could have easily lied and been something else.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Because I know he needs to hear it. I've been
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: trying to tell him this. Yeah, you don't you, you
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: don't you. No, we don't do that. I'm saying this
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: by myself. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I know. But the thing is that.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: You have to learn how to enjoy life, and you
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: gotta love yourself so much.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, you gotta love yourself. Yeah, I think so.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: So this is the thing, right, That's why I've been
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: telling a lot of people in general. I just told
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: it to my guy right here, Cyrus. Your self worth
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: and how you feel about yourself can never depend on
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: anything that anyone else.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Can lose if you do it.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Always, if you wake up in the morning and your
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: happiness is determined on what a B or c feels
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: about you or how you're gonna lose in life.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: And when you date someone that young, you're really you're
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: really destroying their life and let me saying to what
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, when a man knows he's dating a younger woman,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: you're really stopping her growth in life because a real
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: g is baby, you're too young. I want you to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: explore life. You gotta bump your head. You have to
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: go through things like I give you this dick, yeah,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: but and a motivational speech. Right, But that's all I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: can give you. Because I care about you so much,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to take away your experience. And here's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: one of the things I use. I always talk about
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: trying to date me is like trying to get into Harvard.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna get accepted. You have to have experience
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: in life to appreciate the kind of man that I am.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't have no experiences, you have no
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: idea the gift that you have right here. But if
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you bumped your head through life a few times, you
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: do times, and then you meet a successful man who
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: has benefits, who can contribute to your life, You're gonna
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: appreciate Because when I was young, I used to I've
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: always been successful, and I've been through stages. I've taken
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: care of the men's kids, uh, brought women cars I've
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: been through. And the thing that I remember one time,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to have somebody.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Who was struggling, because you get save them. I could
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: save them. Yeah, because that made me feel good. Well,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: we have some problems, let me take let me let
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: me have. Hey, you know your daycare?
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Got it?
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I got it? That made you feel good? Sure, for sure,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I've been there. When you grow up.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: And you really understand, it's not about you want a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: woman to be physically beautiful, of course, but what's your character.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: You want a woman to be beautiful, and what's your character?
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: But what have you accomplished in your life prior to
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: meeting me? Because once you get a certain age and
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I understan see, knowledge is a gift for the curse
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: marriage to me, unless you know who you are. It
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: is for people who don't understand life because you go
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: through all the dumb shit. But when you knowledge, well,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: you know how your wife or husband's supposed to be,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: your girlfriend, the boy supposed to be. You know how
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to act, open the door, bring things, contribute to a relationship,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: pouring to me as I pour into you. As you
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: get older, it's not about the bodies. About this word
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: called safe or sexual can you talk to me and
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: we have connection, because as you get old, that's what
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: makes sex better because of the way a woman spoke
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to you, like, oh my god, baby, I'm like what
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you said. You know, there's some women that can just
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: motivate a man. Let's use Rocky when he was getting
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: his button looked and his wife was in there and
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: she said come here, and he's like, boy, she said,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: come here, she said.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: When he ran out of that damn house.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: So how to do him push ups with one arm?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: For sure?
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Running up had the logs on him, jumping up and
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: down because this woman had motivated him to a whole
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: nother level. A thirty thirty one year old girl who
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: walks around and says that she's a woman because based
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: on experiences that she has is not a woman. You
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: could only become a woman with experiences. And no matter
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: what you've gone through at thirty one, if you live
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: to be forty five, you gotta be smarter than you
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: was at thirty one. Yeah, if you live to be
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: sixty something years old, you're gonna be smarter than you
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: was at forty five years old. True, So life is
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: this great experience of experiences, turmoil, pitfalls highs.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: What age did you decide? If you're petty? If you
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: show me that pettiness, I pull the plug.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I think it started in my forties because I think,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: like I said, if you don't really know knowledge, you
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: don't really have life experience.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: You don't know. But then you saw it.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: You get a girl, she argues with you about something
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: What it is?
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: So now you run it out like you got a
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: big argument. You're getting flowers, You're getting all this kind
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: of stuff because there's something wrong with her. And most
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: men don't take the time to figure it out. They
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: just deal with it. They with it, He'll just deal
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: with it. Most men are afraid to leave a cute
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: girl because they know they probably can't get another girl.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: They got lucky with this one, so they snatch it
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: up or become jealous or over possessive because they feel, oh,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I can't get no better than this. I'm here to
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: tell any man about a woman. You can do better.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Things happen, and see the universe are testing and people
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: don't understand the universe. See God will send you somebody
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: or just say the universe and that man and woman
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: will give you so much pain. That praying is to
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: teach you to leave that person alone, but most people
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: just take it, but the universe.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Will keep I also feel like what happens is you
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: get into a point and time where you feel you
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: start to feel responsible for the other person.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: That can happen to people as well.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, especially if you if you was you're
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the bag. If you're the bag and you bring somebody
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: on and all of a sudden you get tired.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: If you put yourself in a position where someone struggling
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: and you want to do this, and it's three or
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: four years down the road, yes, now you might feel bad.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: And as you get older, you want to have somebody
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: that you don't have to have a woman to put
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: everything in the pot, but something, something, And here's why,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: if we break up, we both emotionally, both of us
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: going to be emotionally messed up for sure, but financially
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: should be messed up too, because why should I spend
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands and we break up. I'm feeling pain
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: and the financial burden. But oh, you said, I got
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a new card, had some sex, and you went on
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: about your life.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: It's just not fair.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like too, even on the other her,
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Like if you flip the coin, Like, if you are
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: a woman or a man and you're with your significant
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: other and you truly help them build their empire, you
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: kind of take the backseat, handle the kids, handle the house.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: If that shit goes left, I feel like it's kind of.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: The other party's duty to make sure that's a real man. Yeah, Like,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna leave you with nothing, Like, yeah, that's
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: a real man.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Without you, I might not be here, right, That's that's
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: so true.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: If you got a woman like that, make sure you
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: break off and make sure she's straight.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Like me and my wife started dating and I maybe
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: had six grand in my name, she had like three
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: hundred grand.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Of the baking.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: We could take this out right, but she like just
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She just fucking with me, you know
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And listen, I saw what she looks
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: at you. She's literally kind of just held me down. Yeah,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: But I'm the kind of guy when I see an
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: attractive woman and know she's with someone, I don't look
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: at her no more. I know your lady's attractor. But
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I had to take a quick glimpse of her like
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: in the in the grocery store and you scan there.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I couldn't look at it, damn, But I know it
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: was damn because I saw her for a good That
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: one second was long enough to say, Yo, he got
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: good taste. And when you see a man with a
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: beautiful woman, that means to me that your confidence is
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: on another level.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Because when a.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Man has a beautiful easy idiot liar because he lied
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the puller and she believed in him, and she's still
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: trying to find out the stuff that you told me
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: and it didn't come along that, but she's still hoping
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to believe.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: But then it also says.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: You got to have the finest woman in the room,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and that takes confidence.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: For sure. Confidence is important.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't matter. I always say it, no matter
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: how much money you got, no matter how you look.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: If you got a plan and confidence, you got confidence.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: And if you.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Can make a young lady laugh, there's yeah. And you
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: and you're a good looking guy, and I can tell
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: she loves you. Yeah, for sure, your wife loves you.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Dog Like you can see the energy when you when
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you're together.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I do think, I do think.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I don't like the fact that, like there's this narrative
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: out there at times where if you get divorced or
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: you leave a situation and you know that other person
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: had a lot to do with the foundation of making
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: it possible for you to go and do this this
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: or is right, it's like you to me, you almost
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: have that responsibility to like, if you're a decent person,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: if you're a decent person, if you do it.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: But most divorces break up in bitter because the man
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: probably cheating.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some heartbreaking, there's a heartbreak, emotion gets involved,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: and that's when like, yeah.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: That's what and that's what happens. Like if you put
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: a woman on she cheated on you. Now you don't
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: want to have nothing. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure, I
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: forget you. You kiss my ass.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It depends on how many kids you got with them
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: though it's like, hey, I need a place for my
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: kids to listen.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: I don't care. But when some people are mad, no
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: for sure, done, for sure done.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: And then you got people who will cheat on someone,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: get caught and then marry the person they cheated on.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: It happens a lot, and that they don't see it
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: that happens, and they're miserable for the rest of their life.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's crazy. Now that happens a lot. I got
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: a few of my friends.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, I love you, I'm going to marry you.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: And the girl accepts it.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: But deep down in your heart and your soul, you're
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: never the same, right you will every day I'm that
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: person walks out that door.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: You have, there's a question mark, a pain. Yep, like
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't always you know, because that trust.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: No matter even if you want to say you trust
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: them again, you'll never trust.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: I've got a lot of friends who are marrying a cheat,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: and I explained to him, you know, I'll show a
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: man how to cheat because I don't want you to
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: get caught, because most men can't handle they get caught.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: I totally do this. Other day.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I said, dog, you're messing around, but if you get caught,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: you already I can look at you. You ain't built
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: for what's about to happen.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you gotta have your ship air tight if
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: you I tell you, Yeah.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Men cheat, and if they get caught, it's this big embarrassment.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: But it was you got caught. That's the only reason
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: why you embarrassed, Right, And then that woman takes you
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: through hell and then it takes you out of your

  Speaker 1: say call just to say hi. Yeah, call just to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: be a friend. And you start dating, right, you start

  Speaker 1: dating because if you really want to back, here goes psychology.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: If you get a girl that's prettier.

  Speaker 1: I know we talked about that the last time. I
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: just don't have the time.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: I think that you if you were to pour into
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: your podcast, oh it'll be insane.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my first live one though, at the day
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, a bad at
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the NFL. We're gonna stop podcast. So I would love,

  Speaker 1: them to put you on the list and they'll reach
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: out to you.

  Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I just think that every time I
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: see your clips.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, if you sat down and did.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: Kind of like your version of what like Joe Rogan
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: does and talk to comedians friends, Oh yeah, you can
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: bring on financial advisors, yes, just so much. And you
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: can have kind of conversations with people that other people
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: aren't capable of having.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I totally agree. And this has always been at
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: the table you and other people.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: Man, it's a it's a seven figures on the other
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: side of that door.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Easy.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm rich. I know, I feel you. It
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: ain't about the money, but but it also but for you,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: you have like because in my opinion, if you did that,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: it would free up your bandwidth from the road.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: But you love the road. I love the road.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: It keeps me young because the road is it it's
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle, you know rich Carlton's Peninsula hotels,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: because you.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Would have to ease up on the road a little
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: to really really.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And and how can I say it. I don't
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: want to bite off more than I could chew.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: And that's fair because if you buy it up more
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: than you can chew, and you don't give it all
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: that you know it deserves to have.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I'm a og.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: You really have to manage your health, your time and
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: mind for sure. And it's really a young man's game,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: right and.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: I like peace.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Like peace if the you you figured out, you're the
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: road ship, so you know, I.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Know when I'm getting.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: And then when you want to interview celebrities whatever, guess
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: what you get sometimes cancelations.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: People who don't respect your time. No, people can't. They're
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: not gonna make it to day. They can't make it.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: And you, like you, it's something I can mess up
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: your thing or whatever. No, I think for you, like
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: if you just have like just your peers, your comedy
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: peers on yes, yes, yes, yes, over on my podcast. Now,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I just deal with regular people in their situations in life, right.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: I like that because they're always going to be there,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: and it's a lot of them celebrities schedule conflict, TKM,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Sorry I can't make it right. And is no jealousy,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: there's no hatred. You know, if I had this and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: somebody came in, you never know, they might be jealous.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Whatever. I'm one of those people that people are jealous of.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I've always just been that guy, you know, confident, you know,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: always had gorgeous women, always have money. That the same thing.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: People love you for, a lot of people hate you for.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Would you ever open a comedy club? Too much aggravation, Yeah,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: too much aggravation. My life is about peace.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I see that. There's too much stress. You
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: gotta get a liquor license. You gotta deal with us.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Somebody underage got in somehow. What the fuck?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Peace of mind? Security, beat up our openers with the lawsuit,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, I want I want peace, piece and quiet.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe in the next ten years, you know, I'm gonna
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: go get a bigger house for the grandkids, have my
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: son because they'll be older. So I have the grandkids
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: come stay at the house with me. I might have
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: a true significant other.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: So that's not out of the cards for you.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Still, I won't get married, but I'll put a ring
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: on a woman's finger to make let her know that
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I respect, Like, yes, is it?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it. I don't have to marry you. Right,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: here's the ring. But we're not going to go to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: the courthouse. Yes, here's the ring.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: And I respect, you know, And I'll try to put
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: people and you don't have to get married, but I'll
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: maybe take ten thousand and put it in annuity and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: in twenty years at ten thousand, two hundred some thousand dollars.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why would we spend one hundred thousand dollars on
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: a wedding exactly?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: They put that in annuity, and people need to understand
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: annuities and stuff. So when I take it on stage
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: and being my age too, that it's insane because I
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: got the women from now they twenty four, twenty five
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: years old holing at me, and I got to talk
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: to him on the phone sometimes explain them I'm too
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: old to date you. And some of them fine, right,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: But the way I get out of it, I would say,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: my daughter would kill me.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I say.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: And it's impossible for you to have like a real
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: emotional connection with someone that young.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like I won't even want to deal with that. Yeah,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: the aggravation, don't get me wrong, some of these girls.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: And deal with the arrogance of a girl that's that
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: young who thinks that they can hang with you life.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like sweetheart, no.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Even if you're forty something, you almost still out of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: my league. And the sins because I'm sixty three. It's
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: twenty year difference. Yeah, you still are going to grow
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: so much from forty to sixty years old.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: You're going to be night and day when you get
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: to be my age.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: If I date you at forty seven years old, night
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and day, true, night and day. So if I meet
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: someone in the forties, my goal is to be to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: give you knowledge, bring great things out of you that
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I see. Know how to talk better to the man
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: that you might date somewhere down the line in life.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Know how to move so when.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: You do meet this other guy, maybe you met a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: guy that gave you the game on how to be
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a better version of yourself.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: That's beautiful. Man. Before we go, how you stay so young? Man?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? What's the what's the diet? What's
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: that you just all the things that we talked about.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not married.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: I don't have no stress.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I take time, I work out every other day, my grandkids.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely, careful about what you're eating, care about
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: what matter.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Fact. I lost races the last time. Yeah, see me.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: So I think I lost about fifteen twenty pounds, but
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: I still feel big, you know. But cav I'm happy
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: for I hope when people see me, what they see is, man,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: he's really happy, like I'm happy. And when I do
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: think about dating, I go, Man, when you date, you're
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: giving someone the power. Let's make you unhappy, even in
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: just five minutes of that day.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: Yep. And my whole day is happy.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my whole not half the day, the whole day,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: the whole day. But if you get with someone, it's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: a possibility that five minutes, the hour, the whole day,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: maybe a week, I'll.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Have you shifted off your square. And I just love
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: life so much. I mean, I love this thing. I
• 1:04:19

• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: the company I work with sells that inventory, okay, and

  Speaker 1: have to worry about going to those markets. All I
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: gotta do is go get on the mic, tell the Joe,

• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: do something different. I want to it's almost to what
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock and Kevin Hart did, but I want to
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: do mine through hip hop.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I came up through hip hop.
• 1:09:22

• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: how I used to rock.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Gotta be dope because it's a special, but it's also

  Speaker 3: kind of like a documentary that's.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: What I want.

• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: you mentioned Kevin Hart, I always wondered it. I feel
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: like somehow he's gets too much hate now.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: For some reason when you're number one.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I used to feel the same way, where
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: I'd be like Kevin Art's kind of overrated. But it's
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: like at this point, it's like this guy.

• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: the gauntlet of yeah people, that's not what people look at.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: People look at competition, and when your competition, people throw darts.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: They did it to Michael Jordan, they do it to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady, everybody. When you get there, everybody jay Z,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: whoever gets that moment, everybody else is shooting for you.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: It's like being Philadelphia Eagles.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: He was champion last year.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: This whole season, everybody was gunning for you. As we
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: call that competition. But on the streets will say that
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: they hater, but no, they just trying to knock you
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: up your throne. The same thing in real life when
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: you become number one.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: It's like radio.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: If someone knew that you had the number one podcast
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: radio show and the other person's five, and they know
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: about you, their gold is to actually knock you out
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: your number one spot. It's always about competition. It's what
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I meant to talk about last night, and that I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: think about it. It's always competition. Like give me the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: female and she'll say, I'm not going to compete to
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: get you. And I tell people all the time that
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: competition is what made the world. Why you think they

  Speaker 1: create the Super Bowl? Right, if you drive down the street,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: you'll see Wendy's across the street and Burger King right
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: across there. In competition. If you got someone that's in competition,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: that means you will always stay on your cueue. When
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: you watch the foods that built America and you think
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: about how they created the Oriel cookie, when you think
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: about Kellogg's frosted Flakes and how they went up against
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: rice crispies.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh, this is competition. Oh, this competition.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: So competition brings the best out you. Yeah, it's just
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: that in the real world when people throwing darts at
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, but in actuality, what they're really trying to
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: do is how can I how can I get what
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: he has exactly? I really want to be where he is.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I want to be number one.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I gathered mostly from that Cat Williams interview. Yeah,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: was he feels like he should be where Steve Harvey is?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Oh?

• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of things about his personal life, but that's

• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't even want all that headache. It's a lot, because
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody's shooting for the bag. But one thing
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: I always say that's important. It is to not how
• 1:13:14
