• 5:53
  Speaker 3: was doing. I was eating bad with a diet I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: could fix. It was just because my mom just like
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I guess, chose to due with bad dick and the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: good are I don't know, general, I don't know what.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: That's water by the way, it says monster, but it's water.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Make sure you know I got.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: An issue like that too.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: My my arteries are aging faster than me. But it's

  Speaker 6: literally just all hereditary. Like my uncle had mad heart surgeries.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: My dad like like it's.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Just so back to the thing. So how did y'all?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: How did y'all make up? Because I know that upset
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you one time? Y'all, well you were down by that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I wasn't really upset about it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: It's just when you get you know, because first of all,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I went in I'm thinking I'm gonna be fine. I'm
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: thinking that, you know, I'm going in there. I'm thinking
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: they were just going, you know, you know it's an
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: artery thing. I'm thinking it's cholesterol. I'm thinking it's like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you know, okay, cool, I'm gonna get a stint. I'm saying, oh,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you get a stand. People telling me about the process.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: And then when they were doing the right hard calf,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they literally because.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: When they take in going your thing and they show.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Your heart and they literally just stopped everything when they
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: put the thing in, it was the whole er and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: cardiac team just ran in and it was just like no, no,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And then from that moment on, and I did that
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: by myself, so it's just to and just to hear that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And then it was like who do you want to call?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Like, because you're not coming out of this a very
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: long time and it's just and thank god they held
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: my hand.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I was was it was just bad.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It is so to to process that because the one
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: thing in life you think is that when you go
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: through something like that, you're going to have somebody there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: And it was just me and God and I thank
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: God for my daughter because she's literally every day, every
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: day she was there. She took off and almost flunk
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: out of school trying to be there for me. So
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: to answer a question, to work through it, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I had to understand because you know your own issues,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: but you got to understand other people issues to be
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: married and your husband, Like a four or five months later,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: just in the hospital, how do you deal with.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: That sickness and health? Like, how do you how do
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: you even get trust? How do you rebuild trust to
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: even want to be with her after.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: That communication and understanding everyone's understanding of what that is like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: not every everyone can deal with that right right away.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, my wife is diagnosed with bipolar syndrome.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: You met my wife am million times so and you
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: know her explaining everything and what it was for her
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and understanding her side, Like we got a whole podcast
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: about it. I call kind of sort of marry so
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And then also, like you said, kind of.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Sort of because we talk about the whole thing and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: how we got through it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: And yeah, but like you said, she came back pregnant.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: She probably was undergoing all types of hormones and not
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: knowing what was happening, Like if she was pregnant this
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: whole time, not.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Justifying don't make a job.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And she came back pregnant, so she was probably she
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: probably didn't know at the time, you know, like you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: so hormos be off or whatever.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm happy she's super good, you know, working
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: on things, getting together and then taking the day by day.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I've been in therapy, a loge, you know, going to church,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: a lodge, just you know, accepting what's next on me?
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Man, what's your lifestyle now though, I mean, just as
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: far as I guess you said operating a ninety percent?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Like what do you can you can't do? What can
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you can't do?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: It goes back day by day. I wish I could
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: tell you, like I definitely go to rehab and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: definitely try to. You know, my dad is completely different now,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: but that really doesn't help when it's the organized fales.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So it's really nothing you.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Really can do except take forty different types of medicine
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: every single day and just like you know, take at
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: home ivs and different things like that. So you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and sometimes when I go on stage, I have to
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: have a backup person the host. Now, like a day
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: before I got somebody there. If I can't complete it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I do my little jokes here and there, and I'd
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: be like, Okay, you gotta take it from here.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You know another thing I wanted to discuss, and you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: we know Rip Michael's a comedian, but also how you
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: raise your daughter. So you were the sole custody of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: your daughter. Correct, yes, you have soul custody, So talk
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: about raising her as a father with a young girl,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: being on the scene, being a comedian, doing all that,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: but making sure that your daughters do have the values.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I think that was god like because that was like
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It gave me purpose because I came to New York.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not from New York. I came to New York.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I was homeless, sleep on the streets, and my daughter
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: was with me the whole entire time. So all the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: stuff I do, my daughter was with me. Like when
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I started the Wind Out too, she was the one
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: helped me on the side of the highway giving out
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: flyers and promoting the show. So when I used to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: do comedy, she would be right there in the car
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: just because I didn't really trust people around it, so
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: she'd be right there in the car and she was good.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: She wouldn't get out to go pee, she wouldn't do noneing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: She was just she peed on itself away for me
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: one time. I don't know if that's a good thing
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to ask. How that's how dope our relationship was. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I think it was a complete blessing. And you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like I missed out on anything. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: still got to produce some of the biggest tours in
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the country, create some of the biggest platforms for people,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and I think that she was part of the whole thing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: So now when they see it like you said it,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: you'd be like, you've seen it on the side of
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the stage, and now she's all grown right there, she'll
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: work for her dad.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm mad at that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I had a question, But it's about the heart stuff
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: that you guys were talking about. Both of you guys.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: You're saying that these things are hereditary. That's my first
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: time ever hearing that conditions like that could be hereditary.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: So really, yeah, I know that certain things go through
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: like jeans and DNA, but I've never heard someone say
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: it was hereditary. It's nothing I could do with heart
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: stuff or even artery stuff. What do you do when
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: you find out in the early stages that it's hereditary
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: to like slow with them, like is there anything you
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: can do? Such you're preventative and not proact, like you're
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: not reacting.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: To a thousand percent.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: So when I said there's nothing I could do because
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't know, I wouldn't know that would be something
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I need to be checked for. I didn't know because
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you didn't have any symptoms. You just don't know that information.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: So that's why my shows. I have the American Red Cross,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I have CPR. I teach preventative. I teach go get
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: a check up, Go go do these things. Go find
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: out what's going on with your body. And that's how
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: you do it. And then there are a lot of
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: things that you can cut back on, a lot of
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: things you can do to preserve your heart and do
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and those checkups.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Are you asking for blood tests specifically? Like what should
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: we be asking for to like to find these hereditary
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: things that could be that like oh.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Echo, So echo cardiogram will show what's going on in
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: your heart, not the EKG EKG they just put it
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: on your shock you there's nothing, but the echo will
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: show exactly what's going on in your heart, what its
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: functioning that? And then if it's serious, you'll get a
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: right hard calf or left hard calf, and they'll show you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: They'll put the wires in you and they could see
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the movement and how it's retraction and stuff like that.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But tell people.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Medical heat.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: But then when your heart fails, your kidneys go out.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So now my kidneys is feeling. So it just that
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: muscle controls so many different things, So it just gets
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: worse and worse.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Does it give you a a new sense of urgency?
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It does, man, Because, like to be totally honest with y'all,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: when I was in the hospital, I lost my health insurance.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So and I'm sacked.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: So to get to get health insurance, and if you're sacked,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: you have to do movies and films certain things, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: there's nothing you could do. That's nothing you can pay for.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: So I lost my health insurance. And when I lost
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: my health insurance, I reached out to every single person
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I ever known that had anything to do with film,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and I was like, just put me as an extra,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: put me as whatever I parked the cars. Just give
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: me the sack that I'll give you the money to
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: pay sack so I can get my insurance. And no one, really,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: no one, not one, but even next single person put
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: me in nothing. And that's why I was like, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: know what, if I ever get out of this hospital,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: b I'm gonna make it. And I'm because my whole thing,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I've always been pushing everybody. It's always been like pushing this,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: push monic, could push this whoever, you know, starting so
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: many different things. And when that happened, I was like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I was say, Okay, God, if you let me make
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: it through this, I'm gonna do what you act me.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna actually care about my career and not just
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: push everybody for it. I'm gonna take a stance. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that's what I started doing. I was like, Okay, now
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: it's Red Michael's. Now i'mnna do my special. Now I'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: gonna do this. Now, I'm gonna show the world what
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I was supposed to do at the beginning.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: But not even because I.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Know you're trying to throw on the bus, but not
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: one just ask because I know y'all had it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Like if I was going through something, I know I
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: could rely on Charlomonae, No one, not Brandon Jack's No.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: One and Brandon was doing the BT Show at the time.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: He had the whole Carl Wemberg family business.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: What's your relationship with these guys? Now?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Then I understand that everybody in this business sometimes it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: just business. Sometimes you think it's personal, but it's not.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes handshakes just mean a handshit. And you know, Bigot
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Dick Nick came to visit me and everything. But then
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: sometimes you know, I don't know, that's a question for them.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Why didn't happen? But I know I got it back
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: and it was funny who actually helped me. It was Justina.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Justina filmed Yes a White Lady, Justina Valentine, she filmed
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the movie.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And New Jersey. Yeah, she's she's just because she got
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the black as herr and Gary Oone used to have
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the same ask.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: So she had a movie, independent movie that she filmed
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. And when I told her, she was like, rip,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: don't worry about it. I'm gonna write you in the movie.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Tell me what you old sack. I make sure you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: make that wow. And then like come on, I wrote
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: for I wrote Brandon's whole specials. You see me take
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: branded around the whole thing and helping them because I
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: gotta keep branding on shows, you know why, because no
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: matter how many times they boo brand and he still
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: come back and he keep going on.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, you know what, I admire that. I'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: gonna say something Sleuth and Justina Valentine for that. That
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: was incredible. Maybe those other people weren't in position to
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: be able to hire you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Again, that's a question for them.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Did they understand the seriousness of at the time, Like,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: did everybody know how? I knew it was in the news.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: But I think it's just that, you know, everybody says, yeah,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I got you, and then you know that then they
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: don't be called.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Then they don't got you.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: It's just more like I got you, I got you,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and maybe it's a they mine or whatever. That's just
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't harbor on it. I don't feel
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: a way towards that. It's just you know, I reached
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: out a bag, didn't.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it is what it is.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Justine, that's solid a whole movie and did it like instantaneously.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Gonna be great. I'm actually in a movie too, Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that's right. She put us all in the movie. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: shout out to.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Her, but I love her for that specifically.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And Justina my girl, Like I've been working with Justina
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I right with jokes and then she's going to hitting
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: her in the comedy things. So I'm always trying to
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and to see that come back from person. You would
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: never think, you know, a white lady saved my life.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: You're on magic every time I said it, she said,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: spin spinning most of minds. When the white teacher and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: danger can she said around what she said your life case,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: she said she does. She said it all the time.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: She says it all the time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: She's like, where your black friends at Andrew show Jump

• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, let's be super clear, every single
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: person on that show knew TI was doing comedy. I

  Speaker 3: got to drop it was saying t I doing comedy for.
• 16:30

  Speaker 3: That was the whole advertisement push behind it, and he knew,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: damn well who was on the show with him, and
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: he just got boomed.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It was simple as that. He went on stage, did
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: his jokes and.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: The crowd was like, you can have whatever you like,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: but it ain't comedy and Tiny was on the side
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and she was trying to escape, so it was just.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Who could she run to it? It wasn't her, so it
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: just and he should.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Have just took it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: That happens every we don't get boomed, and he took it.

  Speaker 3: Let me, I'm about to have a heart getting on it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: So but uh, he took it.
• 17:03

• 17:25
  Speaker 3: He'd be like, I thank Grip Michaels for bringing me
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: on the show, but he put me on the show
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: at a time that was particularly articulately not ready.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And it's just weird that he said that he got booed.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And it just happens.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: It just happens. And you know, Charlie Man was one
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: of the first shows that April Fool show.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: We did it, uh Westbury. It's a tough crowd. Just
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you've done it sometimes. Then you just got to bring it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And I think that it got He was just in
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the relaxed zone. Didn't realize how how you got to
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: bring it. You ain't got time to just you ain't
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: got but like ten minutes. But you ain't got but
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: a second. And then we saved him by saying, all right,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: we're not gonna let nobody boot I. We're not gonna
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: let and we did that. We did the whole music
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: salute and instead of roasting t I saying anything about him,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't do that.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Oh so nobody that came on the stage after him
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: was able to like talk about No.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I kept it like that off and after I got
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: overho t I I was DJ. He came and see
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: me played my record. I played this record. The crowd
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: went crazy. He said, you know, basically he was joking
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: fun y'all. I didn't give you all that. Everybody laugh.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: He got off and then after ripped it like a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: TI tribute, play some of his music and joke nobody issues.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't come back out to the perform while you
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: no, no no, he didn't want no more, no more that
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: what you know about that was not comedy for him
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: that night. But t I, if you're watching it, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: got that same bag for you to come back and
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: you could redeem yourself at the Aple Foods. Because I
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: thought he took it personal because next thing I know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I saw the interview and we had to show the Chicago.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Next time I saw him, he cut his hair off.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: He did the Britney spears. He cut his hair off
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and back wrapping. Number one comedy, a number one record, fire,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: number one record, not comedy. But uh now I'm joking
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: on t I. But you know, welcome into the franchise.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I, that did not happen, and we did
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: not say to you, and he had a great you
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: could see it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: He was there.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: They listened to you done anything like that anyway, Like
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you don't bring put people on your shoulderbody?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: What is that gonna do for me?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: But that doesn't happen in the comedy clubs, so y'all
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: like where there is like a level of like all
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: you knew here, we're gonna let you like, all right,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: go ahead, we're gonna see that doesn't happen.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think crowds care, especially in Black Crown. No,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: hell no.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Like, if you're not funny, you're not funny. It don't
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: matter what your name is, what you're known for before that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: If you're not funny, you just not. I've never you know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: been boobed, but I know that it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Happens for sure, you know what I mean. And if
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it ain't hitting, it's not hitting.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: I think there's only a couple of comedians who probably
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: can get grace, you know what I mean?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't even I don't know. That's very rare.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Like you know, I talk about somebody like Chappelle, Right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Chappelle can get on the age of just talk that
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: was about it. She had that ship that the girl
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: had the batht.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, y'a, don't even tell.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: But no.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I remember when Dave used to come out on days
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: you just talk and people would give him grades because.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He's Dave Chappelle. I don't think that's to many people
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: can even do that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Dave's got go besides just I don't know any comedian
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: that hasn't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: But Dave is a storyteller too, so his build ups
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: are you know, they've always been that way.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask difficult to do your show because
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you don't have a long period of time. You're given
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: people ten minutes, and for a lot of people, if
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it's ten or fifte minutes, they don't have the time
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to set up that joke.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that the way I set it up
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: was because I have so many friends and hip hop.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I have so many friends in R and B, and I
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: have so many friends in comedy. And when I started
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: first doing my career, and I started just selling out
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: little stuff and me and we sell out every club.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: We'd be everywhere, and then I was making it about me,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: and everybody was like can I be on this?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And can I be on that? So I was like,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you know what, Let's do it together.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Let's collectively come together, and let's show people that we
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: could make these record break and do seventeen eighteen thousand
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: people Like Jess, you came to me at the.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Garden, He's like, whip, how the hell is it? Twenty
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: two thousand people in the.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Garden And he did that and like in less than
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: a month, Like we sold that out.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I always love to tell that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Story, like I really was in a sold out venue,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: the biggest venue in New York City, like Madison school
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: ed Cuddon thanks to Rip Michaels. Because so he started
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: promoting it like three weeks before the event, and he
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: sold the shit out.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: It was amazing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: The one thing I would say about RiPP is well,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: we started this probably twenty years ago where we would
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: do a weekly club. I would DJ, he would host it,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and he would bring up comedians and it did well.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we stopped it. But the one
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: thing I love about Rip is he goes back to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the old school. Like you see flyers on walls, yes,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: post the boards up, you see hand in hand. He
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: puts it on car flys, like the things that people
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: don't do now. Most people now they just go on
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: social media and post it be like, I'm gonna get
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: twenty thousand expect for what. The selling out, He's gonna
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: go to the malls, whatever people are gonna be at,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the letout of the clubs, let out at restaurants. He's
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: gonna do that. And that's that really works.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: When it consistent on social too, like even with like
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: all everybody that's on your lineup, like you promote when
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: things they got going on, like you share your platform,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: which isn't common for a lot of.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: People too, because that's what it was always about. It
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: was always supposed to be about us.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You know, proven that you don't need this, Like I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: probably the only comedian that you've ever seen sell out
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: his own arenas.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: There's never been another comedy.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: If you look, it's a love nature's an AG's someone
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: behind them. But I've been the only comedian to just
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: be like, you know what, it's the Barkelet Center. I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: gonna do that. And they look at me like, what
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? How are you gonna do the
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Barkelet Center? Like when I did the wild Out thing,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: it started an Amazur. We did it at Amazur for
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: the fifteen hundred people, and what made that turn into
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: a huge thing with I was sitting there and I
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: was like, you know what, let's do this. And I
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: was sitting there talking to all the agents and all
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: the people that was, you know, part of the team.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I think it was Icingam at
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: the time, and I was talking to him. I was like, yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: look these people, it's gonna be big. We could turn
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: it into this and this, and it was like, these people
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: don't matter. And I was like, what do you mean
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: these people don't matter. It's like we in queens, we
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: and Jamaica Queen. Look at the people here. I was like,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: these are these are postal workers, these are people that matter.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: So the very next day, I took everything I own,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I took all the I sold my cars, I took
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: every dime I had, and I went and I put
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: us on a I think I was like a fifteen
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: city tour. And to this day, we started selling out
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: like every single arena. We did two arenas in one night,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Like we sold out Upper Marlborough Arena and we did
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: fourteen thousand there. And then the same night we took
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: a police escort and did Capitol One Arena and we
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: did the whole thing.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: It was like.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Nineteen thousand people. And I remember Arenas used to treat
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: me so bad because I ain't believing it. They didn't
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: know what the name of it was. They just knew
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Nick's name, and it was like, well, we were gonna
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: call it. I was like, no, it's not that. It's
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Michael Ertainments. This is what we're gonna do it. We're
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: gonna have musical guests. I'm a formulated and take a
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: TV show and put it like this so it could
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: be on his feet. And they would make me pay
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: everything up front. They'd be like, well, we don't believe's
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: gonna happen, so we need to pay. We need the
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: entire fee up front, with the cancelation fee. And that's
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: how they used to treat me. But now you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: doing it for so long, it doesn't work.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Like they're not don make money though, because I'm looking
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: at this lineup, Rip. You got heavy hitters, Bro.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: You got Tommy Davis and Michael Blackson, Justina Valentine, Little
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Marl and Wayne Brandon, t Jackson, Bill Bella, Me, Bruce Bruce,
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Emanuel Hudson, Envy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Pretty V, Jacob Williams.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Then you got performing Jadakiss Fat Joe and Kodak.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And you just said that T I can come back
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: because you got to T.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I come back and get that same money. So when
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I get into it and I keep my chicken, I
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: keep my tickets cheap. So they actually started thirty dollars.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I keep it where everybody can afford it. It was
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: never something I was trying to get rich off of.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: It was like I'll started showing it. I'll hit Jesson
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and Jesse, but like I'm doing it and then another
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: person be like, you know what, I want to get
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: on it. Another person like I want to get on it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: So then I just keep opening it up and keep
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: opening it up. So it was never about that. It
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: was about showing what we can do collectively when we
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: come together, like even with the whether it's the April Fools,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: whether it's the fall Back and love thing, where you
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: look and you'll see, like I think I had Brandy
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: on the first show ever and she had performed in
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: like ten years.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: She was backstage like what am I gonna do? I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: so nervous. That was a dope thing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I missed.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So that was we started out.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: That was the dope thing. Yeah, the comedy and R
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and B tour. That was man, we had a great time.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: So it's the amount of people that come and they
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: did enough because the tickets are affordable.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I always make it affordable.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: So I wasn't there. It was never something I was
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: trying to get rich off. It was something I was
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: just trying to elevate us all so we get us
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: out of the night club. So a lot of people
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: that I put on my shoulds, they were they had actually,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know, weren't doing great jobs at the time. They
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: were just you know, and I was like, collectively, we
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: can do this, do this and make this huge and
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: show people that we could do numbers.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: So it was never about that, y'all was very impressed.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Rep called me probably about ten years ago. It was like, Yo,
• 25:23
