- 1:18Speaker 1: serendipity happens. It's like, you know, there's something that was
- 1:21Speaker 1: there that got stripped away, and now you have this
- 1:24Speaker 1: opportunity to do it again and do it bigger and
- 1:26Speaker 1: better at a time in the world where I think

- 1:33Speaker 1: here we are. God, God, God wanted us to do this.
- 1:35Speaker 1: It's funny. My dad, it's responsible for us doing this movie.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Because yeah, because my dad when he was you know,
- 1:41Speaker 1: he was dying, he was like, you know, he was
- 1:43Speaker 1: in the hospital. He was like, I want you and
- 1:46Speaker 1: your brothers to work together again. And I was like, oh.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I was like, you know how hard it is to
- 1:52Speaker 1: get four black men on the same page. You know,
- 1:55Speaker 1: that's why no audition keep breaking up. You know, we
- 1:58Speaker 1: got four Bobby Browns in our group, you know what
- 2:00Speaker 1: I mean, four tops. There's only two of them left.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It's hard to keep that kind of you know, stuff going.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So I was like, I don't know if it's gonna happen. Pop,
- 2:08Speaker 1: he was like, come on, you guys do magic together.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I said, all right, I said, he goes. I know, Pop,
- 2:13Speaker 1: it goes for me. I said, all right for you.
- 2:17Speaker 1: He said, you promise. I was like, damn this nigga.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I was like, I promise, and he made me shake
- 2:23Speaker 1: his hand. I shook his hand and then, uh, you know,
- 2:26Speaker 1: a couple like days later, my dad was gone. But
- 2:29Speaker 1: you know, my dad raised me on the Bible, and
- 2:32Speaker 1: first one of the first things in the Bible is
- 2:34Speaker 1: honor that mother and father for the days on this
- 2:36Speaker 1: earth will be longer. So I listened to my dad.
- 2:38Speaker 1: I listened to what my parents wanted, and I may
- 2:40Speaker 1: make sure this movie happened. And we made it happen,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully this will be the biggest one.
- 2:46Speaker 1: You know, my dad saw something him and God saw something,
- 2:49Speaker 1: you know, so I think they knew the world needed
- 2:52Speaker 1: a laugh. And it wasn't like his deathbed. It wasn't
- 2:54Speaker 1: like my dad's last wish was I want you boy
- 2:57Speaker 1: to get together and do them shit jokes together.
- 3:00Speaker 3: I want you to do them five jokes.
- 3:04Speaker 1: That's my last wish. More, come on the ceiling, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 1: put another Dick and Shawn's here, but get I'm sorry.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Is that a real story or that he told the
- 3:16Speaker 4: brothers to get everybody together.
- 3:19Speaker 1: And then didn't believe me.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I'm like, that's what you wanted, right, did you have
- 3:24Speaker 3: to do?

- 7:48Speaker 1: pay me this, then that's what you're gonna pay me,
- 7:49Speaker 1: because that's what I feel my value is worth. But

- 7:54Speaker 1: on a white man's platform and discuss my value, he asked,

- 10:25Speaker 1: want the world to laugh again. I feel like we
- 10:27Speaker 1: haven't had a good laugh. Everything is all here and
- 10:31Speaker 1: I feel like we know I hit the sweet spot
- 10:33Speaker 1: where you can feel it's offensively hilarious. It's not just offensive.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, we'll leave you with a bad
- 10:40Speaker 1: tasting the mouth. It's like, oh, oh that's good. It's inclusive.
- 10:44Speaker 1: That's what we've always done, the Wayne's brand, humor and
- 10:47Speaker 1: living color. We did things that was you know, white chicks.
- 10:50Speaker 1: You know, we do things that when we send somebody up,
- 10:53Speaker 1: we hope that the people we send up laugh the loudest.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You know why they can't cancel us for white chicks.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You know who loves white chicks the most white chicks.
- 11:02Speaker 1: They loved that movie.
- 11:04Speaker 2: And I was gonna say that now that you got
- 11:05Speaker 2: shown out the house. You gotta do White Chicks like
- 11:09Speaker 2: you have to know. I'm not gonna I slept on
- 11:11Speaker 2: White Chicks.
- 11:11Speaker 1: If Scared Of makes funny, you just like it because
- 11:14Speaker 1: the Dominican dudes in the beginning, No Dominican. It was
- 11:18Speaker 1: too much like Damien and Damien Dominican. You Dominican.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I was on the airplane and I watched it right
- 11:25Speaker 2: and I was like, Yo, this is the funny sh
- 11:27Speaker 2: and I started telling me, but I could not believe
- 11:29Speaker 2: it was that fun I think.
- 11:31Speaker 1: This is what this was years ago. I don't want
- 11:35Speaker 1: to go see that exactly.
- 11:36Speaker 2: I seen it on the plane and I was like,
- 11:37Speaker 2: this is amazing, and I got stuck on it. But
- 11:40Speaker 2: I'm like, I feel like that movie is underrated. First,
- 11:43Speaker 2: I feel like it's one of those movies that we
- 11:44Speaker 2: don't talk about enough.
- 11:46Speaker 1: But I need a part too. I will say this,
- 11:48Speaker 1: If Scared Of Me and Sean both said, this scary
- 11:50Speaker 1: movie make money.
- 11:51Speaker 3: We see people want to laugh again.
- 11:53Speaker 1: They come out and droves. Make this a hit. Yeah,
- 11:55Speaker 1: we're doing White Chicks too. That will be next White
- 11:58Speaker 1: Chicks too. Scary movie. Seven. I'm gonna do Scar of
- 12:00Speaker 1: thirty six, y'all, gonna be so tired scary movies. I'm like,
- 12:03Speaker 1: fuck that more.
- 12:04Speaker 6: You know what's so interesting. Horror movies are making such
- 12:06Speaker 6: a huge comeback in Hollywood.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Right, That's why the biggest movies this year, That's why
- 12:10Speaker 1: the scary movie franchise. Right now, with these huge movies,
- 12:14Speaker 1: you got obsession, you got back room. I'm like, I
- 12:17Speaker 1: can start writing part seven right now.
- 12:19Speaker 8: So you keep saying if it hit, do you have
- 12:22Speaker 8: any doubt that it won't?
- 12:23Speaker 1: You know, you never know. We never do things like that, right,
- 12:26Speaker 1: I don't curse it. I don't spit up in the air.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I hope you always hope. But there's you know, I
- 12:32Speaker 1: ain't like, yeah, we don't. I don't self proclaim to
- 12:34Speaker 1: be yo, we this. I just hope God wills this
- 12:37Speaker 1: to happen. If he does, then I know what my
- 12:39Speaker 1: purpose is. But I'm not gonna be like, yeah, we
- 12:41Speaker 1: that didn't and then the movie make a dollar fifty
- 12:43Speaker 1: and then I'm like, well, what I had meant to
- 12:46Speaker 1: say is if the juice were squeeze, No, I hope
- 12:54Speaker 1: it makes money.
- 12:55Speaker 3: I think the culture wants to see. This is for
- 12:56Speaker 3: the culture.
- 12:57Speaker 1: This movie is for the team teenager and the grown
- 13:01Speaker 1: up that went to see it when Scary Movie first
- 13:03Speaker 1: came out when they were teenagers, and now they're grown
- 13:06Speaker 1: with teenage kids, and now they could bring that team.
- 13:10Speaker 1: That teenager that's not an adult can bring their child
- 13:12Speaker 1: to come see Scary movie and introduce them to this
- 13:15Speaker 1: humor that's been missing from this generation, and both of
- 13:18Speaker 1: them collapse because this is a cultural clash up. This
- 13:21Speaker 1: is about a generational thing. It's a legacy movie. So
- 13:24Speaker 1: we got the old school niggas with the new school,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and it's a battle of who really belongs here, what
- 13:29Speaker 1: sensibility is wrong here? It's a really smart movie. You
- 13:33Speaker 1: got no I got a kai ass character. I got
- 13:37Speaker 1: a kai my child. I thought you child cou My
- 13:45Speaker 1: daughter just changed the name. Well, now my son changed
- 13:48Speaker 1: the name from minak.
- 13:59Speaker 4: I that you gotta adjust too. Yeah, I gotta know
- 14:02Speaker 4: what he thinks about that part of M's what.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Because I even said, I said, Ky, you didn't think
- 14:06Speaker 6: I was even talking thought about child?
- 14:09Speaker 4: I know you.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, he in the movie because he told me. He
- 14:12Speaker 1: asked me when I did his thing, I was funny.
- 14:15Speaker 1: When I did his stream, I was with all these
- 14:17Speaker 1: little young niggas and it was like, I was just
- 14:19Speaker 1: bugging out. It was a chance for me at fifties two. Man,
- 14:24Speaker 1: you let me.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Off the hook a sleepover with me and I could
- 14:27Speaker 3: be a kid.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I was waiting for him to go to sleep out
- 14:30Speaker 1: of fart right in the mouth, because there's a little
- 14:32Speaker 1: kid that's still living me. And they was like, when
- 14:34Speaker 1: I was bugging out on that ship, They was like, yo,
- 14:37Speaker 1: you like funny funny. We thought you was movie funny.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I said, nigga, I do this. I don't just do movies.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I do stand up. I write movies. I write hours
- 14:49Speaker 1: of material, I write TV shows. I develop a nigga.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Y'all sleep on what I do, and I could be
- 14:56Speaker 1: funny in the moment, So let's go have some fun.
- 14:58Speaker 1: They were like, yo, put me the movie. I was like,
- 15:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you in the movie. He said, bet.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna kill your ass. And I put
- 15:05Speaker 1: his ass in the movie and I killed his promises
- 15:13Speaker 1: alert I saw that you did.
- 15:15Speaker 8: You wrote to like different scenes trying to redo the
- 15:18Speaker 8: Dave Chappelle's show in the movie.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I didn't want to redo the Dave Chappelle show. I
- 15:23Speaker 1: tried to get Dave Chappelle to be in the movie.
- 15:25Speaker 8: Oh, I thought, because isn't the like a play on
- 15:27Speaker 8: different things? I thought you was trying to do a
- 15:28Speaker 8: play on nah.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I wrote two scenes for Dave, and Dave was like,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I want to be in it. And I've hit this
- 15:34Speaker 1: nigga for three months, and yeah, hey, I'm just hitting
- 15:37Speaker 1: your back. Hey, bigfoot, I'm double production. But you know,
- 15:41Speaker 1: I knew Dave was gonna do it. But still the
- 15:43Speaker 1: exercise of writing for Dave, it's no problem. You know,
- 15:46Speaker 1: our opening scene. I wrote fifteen different versions of the
- 15:49Speaker 1: opening scene to finally landed the right person for the
- 15:52Speaker 1: opening scene.
- 15:53Speaker 3: And when the culture sees this, they're gonna be like, oh,
- 15:55Speaker 3: they did this.
- 15:56Speaker 4: So Dave was supposed to be over the scene.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I wrote an opening scene forday. When I sent it
- 16:01Speaker 1: to him, Uh, he just hit me back three months ago.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I can't do it, well, nigga, I finished production six
- 16:05Speaker 1: months ago.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Why not?
- 16:09Speaker 1: I love Donelle, but you know I love Donelle, but
- 16:13Speaker 1: you know, Dave, you know, it's like why not to say,
- 16:17Speaker 1: you know, down there ain't great, but you know, David's
- 16:19Speaker 1: cultural icon and Donelle is funny.
- 16:24Speaker 7: Yes, how long did it take it?
- 16:25Speaker 1: Right?
- 16:26Speaker 7: Then him, I want New York boys.
- 16:40Speaker 1: He's done some classes. Listen, he done. He got some classics,
- 16:43Speaker 1: you know, Ashley, Larry donell Is, Finny. I seen him
- 16:46Speaker 1: special down there. I watch him rock crowds. That's a funny, man.
- 16:49Speaker 1: But you know that's like hey, uh Michael Jackson or
- 16:54Speaker 1: uh uh Tito Maland you know what I mean.
- 17:03Speaker 8: Come on, yeah, how long did it take you to
- 17:05Speaker 8: write the movie?
- 17:07Speaker 1: Oh? Man? About eight about I say eight months. We
- 17:10Speaker 1: wrote probably seven hundred and something pages, two different versions
- 17:14Speaker 1: of the script before we landed on the one hundred
- 17:17Speaker 1: and twenty pages we shot, and then we did additional
- 17:19Speaker 1: photography to include some more stuff that we felt could
- 17:24Speaker 1: enhance the movie. So when y'all see this, y'all don't
- 17:26Speaker 1: be like, oh they wild o out on that. There's
- 17:29Speaker 1: a few places where I called my son was like, yo,
- 17:32Speaker 1: this is like brain rot. It was like skippy. They
- 17:34Speaker 1: call the shit skippy, skimmy skimmy toilet. I don't know
- 17:38Speaker 1: some of these gen zs kids out for niggas be
- 17:40Speaker 1: saying it was like this is skimmy toilet. I was like,
- 17:42Speaker 1: what's that, nigga? Yo? It's just so random that But
- 17:45Speaker 1: it's hilarious. It made me feel high when I saw that,
- 17:48Speaker 1: and I didn't smoke or do a gummy I was like,
- 17:50Speaker 1: you sure, because that gummy pack is.
- 17:52Speaker 6: Open, right, Yo, that's a good I never thought that's
- 17:55Speaker 6: that's what that content used to do for us when
- 17:58Speaker 6: we used to watch The Living Colors. You talk about
- 17:59Speaker 6: why it used to make us feel high even if
- 18:02Speaker 6: we weren't.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Because laugh to do that too. That's that's that's that
- 18:05Speaker 1: Doper mean. But we haven't had a great comedy in
- 18:08Speaker 1: a long time. Like to sit down and really laugh
- 18:12Speaker 1: with your family at a movie, and by the end
- 18:15Speaker 1: of this movie, you feel good, the parents feel good,
- 18:18Speaker 1: the kids feel good, and we had a great conversation
- 18:21Speaker 1: about today, about the world through the lens of horror movies.
- 18:24Speaker 1: I'm very proud of this movie, and I'm happy that
- 18:26Speaker 1: me and my brothers came back together. The victory is
- 18:29Speaker 1: already done. When you ask about success, the fact that
- 18:31Speaker 1: we got this movie done, the fact that we work
- 18:33Speaker 1: together again, the fact that I seen my brother Sean
- 18:35Speaker 1: smile on set, seeing Keenan have a good time writing
- 18:38Speaker 1: these jokes. That's why I do it. And whatever God
- 18:42Speaker 1: wants to happen with the movie God Willing.
- 18:44Speaker 4: How do you honor the past without being trapped by it?
- 18:47Speaker 6: How do you honor the past like the past movies
- 18:49Speaker 6: without being trapped trapped by the success.
- 18:51Speaker 1: And we just forgot about those last three were just
- 18:54Speaker 1: like we're starting from part two.
- 18:57Speaker 8: Somebody else taking the movies like watching a child become
- 18:58Speaker 8: a crackhead exactly.
- 19:00Speaker 1: It was. It was like, I look at three was decent.
- 19:03Speaker 1: They got the Zucker Brothers. It was decent, but it
- 19:05Speaker 1: was based on the concept that we pitched Mira Max
- 19:06Speaker 1: and they stole Now we could have went and got
- 19:09Speaker 1: our money in Dude, Finchance is God take it? Because
- 19:13Speaker 1: when it did part four, the audiences came to the theater,
- 19:16Speaker 1: it was like, wait, no, no, not that that ship.
- 19:18Speaker 1: That don't taste like the waynes Part five and is like,
- 19:20Speaker 1: I'm done with that bullshit. I'm going to see Haunted House.
- 19:23Speaker 1: And then part six, Wayne's is back. We hope in
- 19:28Speaker 1: the crowd comes because this is for the culture. This
- 19:30Speaker 1: is this is Wayne's branded humor. And I feel like
- 19:34Speaker 1: I feel good about the movie.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Did the studios give you full freedom or what they's like? Nah,
- 19:38Speaker 2: I take that joke.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Out of there. It's funny. John Glickman, who is the
- 19:42Speaker 1: head of Mira Max, I think great executives when they exist,
- 19:46Speaker 1: they have balls. You have to make a ballsy move.
- 19:48Speaker 1: You have to pull out these big Harry balls. John
- 19:51Speaker 1: Glickman and and and Barry Diller pulled out his big
- 19:54Speaker 1: Harry balls when he did a Living Color. Uh, go

- 24:53Speaker 8: a Bachela Rett weekend. Oh yeah, and you told them
- 24:55Speaker 8: they actually because you said you've never been married, and
- 24:57Speaker 8: they said why and you said you don't want You said,

- 25:07Speaker 1: If I get married, then I gotta you know, I
- 25:09Speaker 1: got a hold all this day. I was a given man,
- 25:11Speaker 1: you know, and so I that was just a joke
- 25:14Speaker 1: on stage. I hope to get married one day. I do.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I'm older now, I'm fifty three. I'm not a kid.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I actually like the challenge of trying to sit in
- 25:23Speaker 1: a relationship and you know, have meaningful conversation and grow myself,
- 25:26Speaker 1: do some therapy, you know, I want to see what
- 25:29Speaker 1: that's like. I can't go my whole life and never
- 25:31Speaker 1: been married. That's just a scared man. So at this point,
- 25:34Speaker 1: especially when you start walking toward God. I read the
- 25:36Speaker 1: Bible front to back this year, you know, on writing
- 25:39Speaker 1: this movie, because I needed to working with my brothers.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Front the back. I had James ol Jones reading me
- 25:44Speaker 1: the Bible, which was great because it was like Darth
- 25:46Speaker 1: Vader reading me the Bible. It was awesome. It's a
- 25:48Speaker 1: great journey. I would tell anybody to read it front
- 25:51Speaker 1: to back. Now I'm going on a journey of really
- 25:53Speaker 1: studying it because I want I know where I'm going.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I know where I'm headed, and I know I need
- 25:57Speaker 1: God on this journey to just protect acting covering me
- 26:00Speaker 1: and my family. My dad's gone, so he used to
- 26:03Speaker 1: cover our family with prayer and goodness. And now that
- 26:06Speaker 1: he's gone, Who's gonna pick up that baton? And I'm
- 26:08Speaker 1: gonna pick up that baton and the Keenan baton and
- 26:11Speaker 1: I'm you know, God, just tribe to greatness.
- 26:13Speaker 4: What gets Keenan motivated to do something?
- 26:17Speaker 1: How much money? Now you get him motivated?
- 26:22Speaker 3: He's He's like Sean Sean and Keenan.
- 26:25Speaker 1: You know, Keenan laid back. That niggas sounds like somebody
- 26:29Speaker 1: shot him on a tranquilizer. Even when he comes, he
- 26:33Speaker 1: probably goes, that was good this way he laughed. That
- 26:37Speaker 1: was funny. Oh, nigga was funny, laugh him and David,
- 26:41Speaker 1: that was funny, nigga laugh. But you know what gets
- 26:45Speaker 1: the motivated. I think family working with family, having a
- 26:48Speaker 1: good time watching. He loves watching my son and Sean's
- 26:52Speaker 1: daughter work together, like the new generation is starting to
- 26:55Speaker 1: work together. My niece Leila got two songs on the soundtrack.
- 26:59Speaker 1: There's twelve and scary movie. It's gonna be a drinking game.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Whenever you see a wayns, you gotta take a shot.
- 27:06Speaker 1: And I don't be fucked up.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Absolutely, but you don't.
- 27:08Speaker 6: Feel like you want to be celebrated because I look
- 27:10Speaker 6: at like Eddie. Eddie's being celebrated right now. He's had
- 27:13Speaker 6: his moments right Arsenio got his memoir. I feel like
- 27:16Speaker 6: there's two individuals, Keenan every Wings and Robert Townsend.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I feel like celebrate them. Yes, I definitely, and they
- 27:24Speaker 1: look we inducted into the NAACP Hall of Fame, me
- 27:27Speaker 1: and the family. And when that happened, you know, I
- 27:31Speaker 1: personally and Damon we thanked Keenan. We personally celebrated our brother.
- 27:37Speaker 1: He needs to start on the Walk of Fame. Absolutely,
- 27:39Speaker 1: definitely need a street. You know it's time. But I'm
- 27:42Speaker 1: still in the beginning of what I'm doing in terms
- 27:46Speaker 1: of with the family, so we ain't done. So it's
- 27:49Speaker 1: not time to really celebrate. But you know, definitely Keenan
- 27:52Speaker 1: need his own biopic. You know we did a lot
- 27:55Speaker 1: and it's time to celebrate them.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Yes, but we don't do it.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Because of the celebrations. We just do it because we
- 28:02Speaker 1: like making each other laugh and making people laugh. That's
- 28:04Speaker 1: why we do it. We don't do it for the accolades.
- 28:06Speaker 1: We don't do for the trophy. Trophy is we got
- 28:08Speaker 1: to do what we love for a living and took
- 28:10Speaker 1: care of our whole tribe doing it, and better than
- 28:12Speaker 1: everybody's loves.
- 28:13Speaker 6: Keen is one of the Brooks Club interviews that I
- 28:14Speaker 6: hold in high regard because he don't do a lot
- 28:16Speaker 6: of interview.
- 28:18Speaker 1: He came on the breakfast clubs.
- 28:20Speaker 3: He's got Keenan out down.
- 28:21Speaker 4: You don't remember that Keenan Wayns.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Was here and y'all even got him on the wall.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Y'all Kean, you got Didy here with a little Thingland
- 28:35Speaker 1: out on the wall and you ain't got no Sean,
- 28:37Speaker 1: no Kean twelve years ago, Marland, Right, there 's Keenan.
- 28:42Speaker 4: We need, we need to have Keenan.
- 28:43Speaker 1: You got to put keen on the wall. Go down,
- 28:46Speaker 1: duddy sham or just take the head off Sam Jackson
- 28:49Speaker 1: and say it's keen.
- 28:53Speaker 6: What do you think what's the biggest misconception comedians have
- 28:55Speaker 6: about audiences right.
- 28:56Speaker 1: About audiences that they're sensitive. I don't think that's sensitive.
- 29:01Speaker 1: I think we're trying to find out footing. I think
- 29:02Speaker 1: social media is a place that makes everybody got an
- 29:07Speaker 1: opinion about jokes. There was a time where you didn't
- 29:11Speaker 1: have that conversation where if somebody was offended by the joke,
- 29:15Speaker 1: well that was on them. Now they don't agree with something,
- 29:18Speaker 1: they put it out there and then the narratives are
- 29:20Speaker 1: picked up by the media and now it becomes a
- 29:23Speaker 1: big story. But at the end of the day, every
- 29:24Speaker 1: joke you tell, there's going to be a casualty to
- 29:27Speaker 1: every war. When you go to when you're telling jokes,
- 29:29Speaker 1: there's a casualty to every war. And the casualty is
- 29:31Speaker 1: somebody's feelings is going to be hurt. Now, a good joke.
- 29:34Speaker 1: If I'm playing a thousand seedter and I tell a
- 29:37Speaker 1: joke and nine hundred and ninety five people laugh and
- 29:41Speaker 1: five people walk out, don't some bitch ass niggas? Yep,
- 29:46Speaker 1: that's a great joke. Now, if I tell a joke
- 29:49Speaker 1: and nine hundred and ninety five, five people walk out
- 29:53Speaker 1: and five people are laughing. Well, I may want to
- 29:56Speaker 1: work on that material a little bit. You know, that
- 29:59Speaker 1: joke was it didn't land, but maybe to the five people,
- 30:02Speaker 1: which gives me inspiration to go, oh, but there's something
- 30:05Speaker 1: in there. I'm not gonna be afraid to keep going
- 30:07Speaker 1: because one day I'll tell the joke and it's gonna
- 30:10Speaker 1: be the right way where everybody laughs. The audience is
- 30:14Speaker 1: not sensitive. I just think you can't be offensive to
- 30:17Speaker 1: just be offensive. You gotta be offensive to be funny.
- 30:20Speaker 1: You could punch somebody in it. It's like when we
- 30:23Speaker 1: hit hard with kids gloves. So even though we smashing,
- 30:26Speaker 1: you know, it's like we like Looney Tunes. We hit
- 30:29Speaker 1: you over the head with a hammer bow and then
- 30:31Speaker 1: the not grows a silly knock or it makes some
- 30:34Speaker 1: oys or Wiley Karley falls off the cliff. It could
- 30:38Speaker 1: be violent. You show blood and guts and everything that's violence,
- 30:40Speaker 1: but you show that little puffer smoke you laughey. There's
- 30:45Speaker 1: a way to do things, and you could say anything,
- 30:47Speaker 1: but you gotta do it with kids gloves. We never
- 30:50Speaker 1: try to be offensive. We just try to be funny.
- 30:52Speaker 8: I saw you say Tony's joke at the George Floyd
- 30:55Speaker 8: joke at the roast wasn't funny.
- 30:57Speaker 1: The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It was worker squeezed.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Like look in Scary movie.
- 31:03Speaker 1: There was things that I thought was hilarious. But I'm
- 31:06Speaker 1: a comedian and have a darker sense of humor. And
- 31:08Speaker 1: but when you're doing entertainment, you have an audience, and
- 31:12Speaker 1: you can't offend most of your audience. So for me,
- 31:14Speaker 1: I looked and was like, yeah, that joke went too far. Yeah,
- 31:18Speaker 1: that joke, I mean it's funny. Sixty percent of the
- 31:20Speaker 1: audience laughed, twenty percent didn't think it was funny, and
- 31:25Speaker 1: twenty percent is on the fence not worth it, not
- 31:29Speaker 1: worth it. I got too many jokes in this movie, too,
- 31:31Speaker 1: because if you tell a bad joke, it stains the
- 31:34Speaker 1: whole the whole entertainment value of what you put together,
- 31:39Speaker 1: the whole roast. Because Tony Hitchcliff get a joke, and
- 31:42Speaker 1: maybe five six of the jokes or maybe twenty of
- 31:45Speaker 1: the jokes, YEH made you.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Look aw and the whole.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Thing left a bad taste in your mouth. But that's
- 31:51Speaker 1: not the entirety of it. But if they would have
- 31:53Speaker 1: took out some of those things that was offensive, they
- 31:55Speaker 1: took out some of those things, you would have really
- 31:57Speaker 1: enjoyed the roast. And that's why you have to really
- 32:00Speaker 1: manage your taste. And you can't do it for shock value.
- 32:04Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be like that one. Don't. Basically,
- 32:08Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, don't do a live roast. Ever again,
- 32:11Speaker 1: don't don't do it. You can film it live, but
- 32:14Speaker 1: you have to be able to have time to go nope,
- 32:17Speaker 1: that gotta come out. If I did scary movie live,
- 32:20Speaker 1: I would never why because I need time to sit
- 32:23Speaker 1: with the audience and go, oh no, that went too far.
- 32:26Speaker 1: That's that's ugly talk about I don't need to talk
- 32:30Speaker 1: about that. That that topic. I didn't hit the right joke.
- 32:33Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't funny enough for me to go
- 32:35Speaker 1: there just make them feel bad, So let me take
- 32:38Speaker 1: that out. And if you would have did that and
- 32:41Speaker 1: had the time to really sit there in editing and
- 32:44Speaker 1: make those proper decisions as a producer, then I think
- 32:48Speaker 1: he would have avoided a lot of these problems. But
- 32:51Speaker 1: in comedy, I'm not mad that comedians are trying different material.
- 32:55Speaker 1: That's every night at the comedy store. Not every joke works.
- 32:59Speaker 1: And see when you see a actual you don't know
- 33:01Speaker 1: how many jokes we tried that blew up in our face,
- 33:04Speaker 1: that bombed that night, that before you get to these
- 33:07Speaker 1: minutes in this hour that actually works. There's some things
- 33:11Speaker 1: in sets that don't work. But don't do a live
- 33:15Speaker 1: roast because you got to be able to go know,
- 33:17Speaker 1: I gotta take that out. I gotta take that out.
- 33:20Speaker 1: I gotta take that out. Why because it leaves the
- 33:22Speaker 1: audience feeling a certain way. We don't need to go
- 33:25Speaker 1: there and that that That's what I think that would
- 33:28Speaker 1: be my advice is, don't do it. Live. Some things
- 33:30Speaker 1: you just don't do live and listen.
- 33:31Speaker 4: I got a doctor as a human.
- 33:32Speaker 6: I like to laugh, but I don't see the funny
- 33:34Speaker 6: in somebody tragic death.
- 33:36Speaker 4: I don't give it.
- 33:37Speaker 6: George Floyd, Charlie Kirk, Sheryl Underwoods husband committed suicide.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of It was a lot.
- 33:42Speaker 4: It's like, I don't see there was a lot.
- 33:45Speaker 1: There was a lot. The devil wrote some of them sets.
- 33:53Speaker 1: What about the one? How about you? I'm not a kid,
- 34:00Speaker 1: but the devil was at work.
- 34:03Speaker 6: How do you feel about comedians critique and other comedians.
- 34:06Speaker 6: I think here's the thing I have a problem with.
- 34:08Speaker 6: I feel like every comedian gets their day, you're going
- 34:11Speaker 6: to say something that's gonna.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Call absolutely exactly.
- 34:15Speaker 6: I feel like sometimes somebody, these comedians, y'all be standing
- 34:18Speaker 6: on a high horse too much.
- 34:19Speaker 4: When I don't criticize an other comedians, I don't.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I don't sit here and try to bring nobody down.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I look at the good and everybody. What did you
- 34:26Speaker 1: do good? What you did bad is also a lesson,
- 34:29Speaker 1: But I like to celebrate what you do good. You
- 34:32Speaker 1: don't never see me come on here and bash anybody,
- 34:34Speaker 1: even with Aaric spears. I'm not bashing the brother. I
- 34:36Speaker 1: think he's you know, he's Aaric Sparence.
- 34:39Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I think he got talent. You know what I mean?
- 34:41Speaker 1: I think you know the brother doesn't you know I'm
- 34:44Speaker 1: gonna say he's not talented. I'm just saying, you know,
- 34:46Speaker 1: he does good impressions. You know, I'm not gonna sit
- 34:48Speaker 1: here and bash that man. Although thirty different bashes came
- 34:51Speaker 1: to my head, but it's not appropriate for me to
- 34:52Speaker 1: sit here on this platform and bring down the brother.
- 34:55Speaker 1: I just get my version of what I felt was
- 34:59Speaker 1: wrong with me, so I expressed myself. But I'm not
- 35:01Speaker 1: gonna sit here and dog the brother out. I don't
- 35:04Speaker 1: come on here and dog Kevin. I love Kevin and
- 35:06Speaker 1: he's done some great things. Some things he's done. This
- 35:09Speaker 1: not so great, But that's between him, God and the audience.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, they try and drag me down. I got
- 35:14Speaker 1: to even the trans community is like in the gay
- 35:16Speaker 1: community're like, you hang out with Dave Chappelle. Okay, I do.
- 35:19Speaker 1: That's my friend. Why can't two things be true at
- 35:23Speaker 1: the same time. Why can't he be a really funny
- 35:25Speaker 1: comedian and we share different points of views and we
- 35:29Speaker 1: still can be friends.
- 35:30Speaker 3: He came to see my set.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Which is about My child, which is about the and
- 35:34Speaker 1: my most important set, and it's about the transition, not
- 35:38Speaker 1: their transition, My transition, dealing with my child going from
- 35:41Speaker 1: being a girl to becoming a boy, and the five
- 35:43Speaker 1: stages of grief that I went through to get to
- 35:46Speaker 1: that acceptance. Dave Chappelle came down to my show, sat
- 35:50Speaker 1: there for an hour and a half, proceeded to come
- 35:53Speaker 1: on stage and tell me how wonderful and powerful that
- 35:56Speaker 1: set was. And we did stand up maybe fifteen twenty minutes,
- 35:59Speaker 1: made the audience lab, we went backstage, and this was
- 36:01Speaker 1: in Yellow Springs. Dayton Ohio went backstage and he gave
- 36:04Speaker 1: me three great notes that I'm put into the special
- 36:07Speaker 1: to enhance the special, And that's the friendship. They was
- 36:12Speaker 1: a great dude, And I'm not gonna let people go
- 36:14Speaker 1: just because the image of somebody. It's like, look, since
- 36:17Speaker 1: when can't we think differently and still be friends. Why
- 36:21Speaker 1: can't a Democrat and a Republican still be friends? Why
- 36:25Speaker 1: I gotta be red all red or all blue? Allow people?
- 36:29Speaker 1: Why I don't hang around I'm a Christian. I don't
- 36:31Speaker 1: hang around just Christians. I got Jewish friends, I got
- 36:35Speaker 1: Muslim friends. Why do I have to choose? And we
- 36:38Speaker 1: all assimilate to the same thing. That's not life. So
- 36:41Speaker 1: social media is trying to make us fucking communists. So
- 36:44Speaker 1: get the fuck off social media. Stay socializing people. You
- 36:47Speaker 1: be you that ain't got nothing to do with me
- 36:53Speaker 1: about the relationship. And like, what if your child didn't
- 36:55Speaker 1: like to chappellejam, I would tell my child, hey, watch
- 36:59Speaker 1: every last thing special and then you can make an assessment.
- 37:03Speaker 1: But don't listen to social media tell you what he
- 37:06Speaker 1: said that was bad.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Listen to the whole context.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Of the story. Watch all his specials. I know Dave
- 37:12Speaker 1: as a person. His intention wasn't to punch down. He
- 37:15Speaker 1: just doubled down, like y'all are gonna laugh, y'all are
- 37:18Speaker 1: gonna laugh.
- 37:19Speaker 3: He was trying to make them laugh.
- 37:22Speaker 1: That's what comedian does, you tell me, I can't say something,
- 37:24Speaker 1: I'm going there. I'm gonna keep digging and keep digging
- 37:27Speaker 1: until I get that laugh. Well in the day he
- 37:30Speaker 1: maybe still didn't get that laugh. But I appreciate the
- 37:34Speaker 1: effort and the attempt. He should be able to, as
- 37:36Speaker 1: a comedian say what he wants to say, and that's
- 37:39Speaker 1: between him and his audience. But that's between them. I
- 37:42Speaker 1: can't hang with Dave because of that. I think that's silly.
- 37:46Speaker 1: I know it's hard. I would hang with bad people.
- 37:48Speaker 1: He's not a bad dude. He's a good dude. Man.
- 37:51Speaker 1: He got a dark sense of humor sometimes and that's
- 37:53Speaker 1: on him.
- 37:54Speaker 6: But I love him and I saw he did recently
- 37:56Speaker 6: say that he acknowledged that his jokes have been weaponized.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Yeah, and that'll happen, and that's part of him. Like, oh,
- 38:03Speaker 1: I see where and that's growth. You know, when you
- 38:07Speaker 1: was going to do the next one, I said, Dave,
- 38:08Speaker 1: I don't think you need to do this one. Ah,
- 38:11Speaker 1: I need to end this marlin. Okay, nigga, I'm just
- 38:15Speaker 1: telling I don't know if you need to do it.
- 38:17Speaker 1: You said it already and you know, but that's friendship,
- 38:20Speaker 1: that's love.
- 38:21Speaker 3: He's a great dude. If you ever hung around Dave,
- 38:23Speaker 3: you know it's hard.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Dave is a silly kid that just so happens to
- 38:27Speaker 1: have the brain of a master scientist and a college professor.
- 38:30Speaker 1: He's a brilliant dude. And and but he's not a
- 38:33Speaker 1: bad dude. He's just a comedian and sometimes comedians are
- 38:37Speaker 1: going to offend people.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Has your son ever said that, you know, Dad, you
- 38:41Speaker 2: went too far?
- 38:42Speaker 1: And he had jokes on him. Oh definitely, But uh, well,
- 38:46Speaker 1: they haven't seen this set yet, but they know my heart.
- 38:49Speaker 3: They know and they.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Know my heart.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Their mother saw my set.
- 39:02Speaker 1: What did she say? She laughed hysterically and then and
- 39:06Speaker 1: cried and then laughed again because only her and I
- 39:11Speaker 1: went through this journey and she understood everything that I
- 39:13Speaker 1: was saying, and from what perspective I was saying it from.
- 39:17Speaker 1: There is a father that lost the child that and
- 39:20Speaker 1: another child was made. But she's seen that through the
- 39:24Speaker 1: pain that I because she was with me the whole time.
- 39:27Speaker 1: She's seen that I did this out of love. And
- 39:29Speaker 1: I was very truthful about the entire journey, and I
- 39:32Speaker 1: buried my soul and I even the good, the bad,
- 39:36Speaker 1: and the ugly, and that's comedy. I'm not here. Everything
- 39:40Speaker 1: ain't going land the first part of my set, honestly,
- 39:43Speaker 1: when I'm talking about anger, because five stages of grief
- 39:46Speaker 1: is denial, anger, bargaining, and then it's depression, and then
- 39:52Speaker 1: it's acceptance. I go through every last single face. I'm
- 39:55Speaker 1: not likable in denial. I am ugly in my anger.
- 40:00Speaker 1: And it's not till you get to bargaining that you
- 40:02Speaker 1: start feeling for the character and going oh wow. And
- 40:06Speaker 1: all those people that was rooting for that anger and
- 40:08Speaker 1: that denial and those things that I was saying that
- 40:10Speaker 1: were hateful and feeling those hateful feelings, they're all like yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 40:14Speaker 1: And then they get to bargaining and I realized that
- 40:18Speaker 1: I was wrong in my feelings. And then the audience
- 40:21Speaker 1: is like, oh wow, he just caught us like fish.
- 40:23Speaker 1: And then I drag him deep and I talk about
- 40:25Speaker 1: the depression that came along with it from a human
- 40:27Speaker 1: point of view, thinking about suicide. You know, I've been
- 40:30Speaker 1: through so much stuff and everybody's like, yo, I didn't
- 40:34Speaker 1: even know any of this. And then I get to acceptance.
- 40:39Speaker 1: And then there's everybody that was in the crowd that
- 40:41Speaker 1: has somebody gay in their family, or somebody different, or
- 40:44Speaker 1: somebody a father that is dealing with an interracial marriage.
- 40:47Speaker 1: His white daughter bought this black guy home and they
- 40:49Speaker 1: got this vanillas chocolate kid. Everybody understands that acceptance is
- 40:56Speaker 1: love and there's a journey to get there. Anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
- 41:04Speaker 1: If you leave on denial and you leave on anger,
- 41:07Speaker 1: then you're not giving me a chance when it comes
- 41:10Speaker 1: to bargaining, and you're not listening to depression, and you
- 41:12Speaker 1: will never get to acceptance. And I feel like some
- 41:16Speaker 1: people are so shortthearted right now that they'll walk out
- 41:20Speaker 1: on anger. And that's not it. You got to listen
- 41:23Speaker 1: to it all the way through and think about the intention,
- 41:25Speaker 1: because that's when you get it. You get the heart.
- 41:28Speaker 1: In the last two minutes of the set.
- 41:30Speaker 8: Does it break your heart? Because I felt the emotion
- 41:32Speaker 8: just now when you were talking about how you and
- 41:34Speaker 8: your son's mom and own two people who understand. Does
- 41:37Speaker 8: it break your heart when people just say I don't
- 41:39Speaker 8: even want to get to the end of all five,
- 41:41Speaker 8: I don't want to understand.
- 41:43Speaker 1: That don't happen at my shows, right. I've learned how
- 41:48Speaker 1: to say it because I throw myself under a bus
- 41:50Speaker 1: and I go, I'm not likable. I'm not here, but
- 41:53Speaker 1: I'm not here to be liked. I'm here to be respected.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Being liked is for clowns. Being heard is for humans.
- 42:00Speaker 1: Listen to what I'm saying before you judge me. And
- 42:03Speaker 1: a lot of parents that come see my show, I
- 42:05Speaker 1: got them crying. I have dudes and marines crying like yo,
- 42:09Speaker 1: I have a child, were going through the same thing.
- 42:11Speaker 1: And your show just really made me understand. My daughter
- 42:15Speaker 1: got pregnant by this nigger, and I swear to God Jesus,
- 42:18Speaker 1: thank you. She really helped me. I'm gonna go home
- 42:20Speaker 1: and hug that little top baby, you know, because it's
- 42:26Speaker 1: about getting to love, and it is a journey, and
- 42:29Speaker 1: all of us are healing and all of us are
- 42:30Speaker 1: growing and we're not too old to grow. And if
- 42:33Speaker 1: you stand still, then you're not growing and you're dying.
- 42:36Speaker 1: You're dying on the inside. So it's all about growth.
- 42:38Speaker 1: My child taught me true, unconditional love, and I'm very grateful,
- 42:42Speaker 1: and I hope that they have that same unconditional love
- 42:45Speaker 1: when it comes to comedy, because I love me some
- 42:47Speaker 1: comedy and I will never let anybody try and drag
- 42:50Speaker 1: me out of loving comedy. I do this because you
- 42:53Speaker 1: don't even know y'all need this medicine. So don't be
- 42:56Speaker 1: mad at me. If I jump into dark waters to
- 42:59Speaker 1: go find a joke and I come out with nothing,
- 43:03Speaker 1: m h, I'll keep diving, so I come out with
- 43:05Speaker 1: that elixir that is a laugh. So bear with me,
- 43:08Speaker 1: stay patient, stop judging comedy, shut the fuck up, and
- 43:12Speaker 1: laugh because you need it.
- 43:14Speaker 6: Most counter questions, what do you think comes fro as
- 43:16Speaker 6: comedy of your blackness?
- 43:21Speaker 1: See? For me, it's hand in hand. I have to
- 43:26Speaker 1: speak from a black man's point of view because I
- 43:27Speaker 1: am a black man, and of course my blackness is
- 43:33Speaker 1: married to the comedian. So I'm a little more forgiving
- 43:36Speaker 1: in terms of the jokes right, in terms of I
- 43:39Speaker 1: have compassion for people on their bomb. Sorry, I do,
- 43:42Speaker 1: because I'm a comedian, you know. But as a black man,
- 43:47Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, you don't need to go there, y'all.
- 43:50Speaker 1: You don't need to go there. And if I, like
- 43:51Speaker 1: I said, there's things, I would be like, don't do that.
- 43:55Speaker 1: I did it on my own movies. Just now. This
- 43:58Speaker 1: thing's in a scary movie y'all will never see because
- 44:00Speaker 1: I was like, I tried it. I tried it, it
- 44:03Speaker 1: didn't work. I'm taking it out. Why Because I don't
- 44:05Speaker 1: want people to feel that way. It's funny to me,
- 44:08Speaker 1: that's funny to dark people with dark minds. But that's
- 44:12Speaker 1: gonna hurt some people, and it's not worth hurting those people.
- 44:14Speaker 1: It's gonna stain my movie. It's not worth it. So
- 44:17Speaker 1: let me keep this, keep it happy. Not to say
- 44:21Speaker 1: that I'm selling out, not to say that I'm not
- 44:24Speaker 1: going there. I'm just going there in a way. My
- 44:27Speaker 1: brother taught me, you tell one joke to make the
- 44:29Speaker 1: whole world laugh. That is your goal as comedian. It's
- 44:32Speaker 1: not to make people feel like, oh, why would you
- 44:34Speaker 1: even go there? When you get this look? That ain't
- 44:37Speaker 1: what you go to do. Comedy for who wants to
- 44:39Speaker 1: sit here doing that? You go to comedy, you want
- 44:41Speaker 1: to ha a ah, those are the emotions you want
- 44:48Speaker 1: to do. And I say dark stuff on stage, but
- 44:50Speaker 1: my dark stuff comes about at my expense, my pain.
- 44:55Speaker 1: So I don't just sit there and punch down on
- 44:57Speaker 1: people about them. I talk about me. So I think blackness.
- 45:03Speaker 1: It's like Richard Pryor, he was a comedian and he
- 45:07Speaker 1: held down blackness. Dave Chappelle holds down blackness. And I
- 45:13Speaker 1: think for the most part, if you talk about the roast,
- 45:17Speaker 1: I feel like you shouldn't have did it live because
- 45:21Speaker 1: I'm sure in hindsight it's twenty twenty and he different
- 45:27Speaker 1: decisions would have been made. But in that point and
- 45:31Speaker 1: you're doing it live, it's too much pressure. You got
- 45:34Speaker 1: to stop the show, gotcha?
- 45:37Speaker 4: Are you gonna spoof him? It's my last? Are you
- 45:39Speaker 4: gonna spoof him? And scary movie? Who Him?
- 45:41Speaker 1: The movie Him? No? Forgot like who no, no, no no.
- 45:46Speaker 1: The movie didn't do good enough for me. But I
- 45:50Speaker 1: actually had a him joke in there. I wrote to
- 45:52Speaker 1: him scenes and then I was like, eh, I don't
- 45:55Speaker 1: want to do it, you know, say, let's just move
- 45:57Speaker 1: on Yeah, because it would have been like an inside Joe.
- 46:00Speaker 3: It would have been funny.
- 46:01Speaker 1: But maybe it just didn't fit in this movie either.
- 46:03Speaker 1: It didn't fit in the movie I took out. I
- 46:05Speaker 1: didn't want to be like, wait, that was weird. That
- 46:07Speaker 1: was I just wouldn't there's a rhythm, there's a house,
- 46:10Speaker 1: so I wanted to keep it into that and maybe
- 46:12Speaker 1: in a psychological horror thriller parody, I will do him.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Him's not off the table, but it just didn't fit
- 46:19Speaker 1: in this movie because this one is slasher. But uh,
- 46:22Speaker 1: Scary Movie seven, there will be a him.
