- 0:39Speaker 1: to sit on the junkyard and interview them on the set,

- 0:46Speaker 1: be able to sit in that seat and ask all
- 0:48Speaker 1: of the questions as a fan that it's still mind blowing.

- 1:11Speaker 1: you're the guy. I was like, say less, dope, get
- 1:14Speaker 1: my mov suit. It's small, small, it's small. Now you
- 1:20Speaker 1: do small. You do it pretty much everybody's voices, you
- 1:24Speaker 1: make fun, everybody with skits. Has anybody ever step to
- 1:27Speaker 1: you where it was like, you know what, maybe I
- 1:30Speaker 1: should stop being the same building with that person. Just Charlomagne,
- 1:34Speaker 1: charlemagn Charlemagne threat my life one time. Never never happened.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Come on, nah, how does that look? Charlemagne threatening my life?
- 1:43Speaker 1: Exactly anybody's life, right nahum nobody. The thing about it
- 1:48Speaker 1: is when people see me do impressions of them, especially
- 1:52Speaker 1: in the hip hop world, they know that I'm a
- 1:54Speaker 1: hip hop head. So Nahs, for example, asked me to
- 1:58Speaker 1: do him before he asked pause as Jesus Christ, before
- 2:06Speaker 1: you got to it was way wait a second, that
- 2:09Speaker 1: didn't come out right, But yeah, he asked me to
- 2:11Speaker 1: do an impression of him. And I know your niggas
- 2:17Speaker 1: ain't laughing because y'all was fingering a booty hole with
- 2:21Speaker 1: no it was nothing but plenty of lubrication. And this
- 2:26Speaker 1: nigga was giggling, and he was like, you you want
- 2:31Speaker 1: me to put my finger in there? Wait? Wait, I've
- 2:35Speaker 1: never done this before, Like you want me to put
- 2:38Speaker 1: my finger in there? I thought it was a cake.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I was like, the only thing left to do is
- 2:42Speaker 1: to cut this ship and eat it with no pause.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Do you ever play gay gay games with your friends?
- 2:48Speaker 1: Whoa wait, wait a second, how did we get here? No?
- 2:53Speaker 1: I've never done. What you guys have done is going on.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Manhere's angel When you need the female presence in this bit,
- 3:05Speaker 1: I need too much, too much masculine. I think it's masculine.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I think they ain't maskling, but it definitely dicks a
- 3:13Speaker 1: lot of balls in the ball. Where would you rank
- 3:17Speaker 1: yourself as an impressionist when it comes to like Jay Farrell,
- 3:22Speaker 1: I don't. I've gone on record as I say Jay
- 3:24Speaker 1: farrell Is impression is two point oh. I don't consider
- 3:27Speaker 1: myself an impressionist. That's if you believe that or not.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I consider myself an artist who plays the part. I'm
- 3:34Speaker 1: an actor. So the same way you see Denzel play
- 3:37Speaker 1: whoever a Hurricane, Carter or Malcolm X, he dives into
- 3:41Speaker 1: the role and he gives you, you know what I'm saying,
- 3:44Speaker 1: the details that you need for that character. That's how
- 3:47Speaker 1: I end with impressions too, because I don't just do impressions.
- 3:51Speaker 1: But as far as the ranking the impressionists, to me,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Jay Farrell and Godfrey are two of the best that
- 3:58Speaker 1: I've ever seen hunt of Yeah. So so if I
- 4:01Speaker 1: had to rank myself out of them, I mean Aery
- 4:03Speaker 1: Spears too, He's another goat with it. I don't rate myself.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I would put all of them before me Jay, but
- 4:09Speaker 1: he put you up there. Jay said, he thinks you
- 4:11Speaker 1: wanted the best impressions. Well that's very humble of him.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay Farrell. Appreciate that. But now I think
- 4:17Speaker 1: they do way more impressions than me. Way nahs. Yeah,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I mean I do a few, like I do the
- 4:24Speaker 1: russell siment Russell Jay, and then the newest one I've
- 4:29Speaker 1: been doing over the pandemic was My Angelo. Everybody was like,
- 4:31Speaker 1: how the fuck you do my Angel? Because I just
- 4:34Speaker 1: do Okay, it just is it? Why my Angel I
- 4:38Speaker 1: have no idea, Like literally she I was talking to
- 4:43Speaker 1: a couple of my homegirls and they just randomly mentioned
- 4:45Speaker 1: Maya and I just started doing it one night and
- 4:47Speaker 1: they fell on the ground laughing. So I was just like, okay,
- 4:50Speaker 1: And if you listen to the way I do to
- 4:51Speaker 1: my Angelo's voice, it's not too far from jay Z
- 4:55Speaker 1: because Jay has he has just stay stopped. I didn't
- 4:58Speaker 1: say the thing yet, nigga, don't half yet, Sharlamagne. It's
- 5:01Speaker 1: kind of in the same register. So as Jay talks
- 5:05Speaker 1: like this, you know you have to just go right
- 5:07Speaker 1: there it blad and to right hen to man old on.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I never thought about that. Yo. It's the same person
- 5:19Speaker 1: because of but he don't rhyme when he talked, when
- 5:23Speaker 1: the words like that, they're both. They're both rappers both man,
- 5:28Speaker 1: it's the best rapper that ever lived. Whatever you choose
- 5:33Speaker 1: to take is whatever you give phenomenal. Woman in had phenomenally.
- 5:39Speaker 1: It's me, not jay Z. Now Hope company and even
- 5:48Speaker 1: find it funny or not funny. No, Hope loves the impression.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Like the first time I met him, I thought I
- 5:52Speaker 1: was gonna get slapped. I ain't gonna lie. This was
- 5:54Speaker 1: This was a long time ago in UM in DC
- 5:58Speaker 1: when Obama first Scott inaugurated. So Jay did the concert
- 6:02Speaker 1: right before and this ain't a flex at all. I
- 6:07Speaker 1: happen to run into Charlie Mac. I'm just walking taking
- 6:09Speaker 1: pictures in DC and I see Charlie Mac. Everybody know
- 6:11Speaker 1: Charlie and Charlie standing outside the venue back backstage. I
- 6:15Speaker 1: was like, Charlie, what up? And he's already was over
- 6:18Speaker 1: come on, come on. No, I'm all waiting for people,
- 6:21Speaker 1: for people, But I got you, I got you, come on,
- 6:24Speaker 1: come on, come on. So I get backstage with Charlie Mack.
- 6:26Speaker 1: It's just me and him, so he wasn't invited. He
- 6:28Speaker 1: just snuck it. I just snuck in. I was with
- 6:29Speaker 1: Charlie Mac and I'm sitting on a speaker. I'm just
- 6:33Speaker 1: in the back. I'm watching dudes working and ship and
- 6:35Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, a wave of people come
- 6:37Speaker 1: down the stairs and it's Jay and his entourage. They
- 6:40Speaker 1: about to go to the stage, right So I'm sitting
- 6:42Speaker 1: on the speaker. The stage is right here. He's coming
- 6:44Speaker 1: down the stairs and they're all about to go to
- 6:46Speaker 1: the stage. He sees me and starts walking over to
- 6:48Speaker 1: me and I you know how to in the movies
- 6:51Speaker 1: when the camera's coming towards you, but you started get smaller.
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's how I felt. I was like, oh shit, here
- 6:56Speaker 1: you go, here you go. It's going down by myself.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I'm solo. Jay would never get his hands dirty either way.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I thought someone was gonna you know what I'm saying.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And he walks into me. He extends his hand, He's like, yo,
- 7:11Speaker 1: you'd be doing the jigger man. I like that, and
- 7:15Speaker 1: he gave it, you know, the third person acknowledgement. You
- 7:18Speaker 1: know you'd be doing the jigger man. I was like,
- 7:20Speaker 1: all right, whatever name you choose to use, yes sir, Yeah,
- 7:23Speaker 1: you're right. And that whole night he just kept walking
- 7:27Speaker 1: up to me making shot was good, like yeah. And
- 7:29Speaker 1: then Mary was on stage Major Blox and he was like, yeah,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I bet you can't do that, and I bet you
- 7:32Speaker 1: can't sing like that. So he was like really cool.
- 7:37Speaker 1: He was really cool. And then we did a drop
- 7:39Speaker 1: on video and he showed the love and he made
- 7:41Speaker 1: me do the laugh in front of him. Wow. So
- 7:44Speaker 1: nothing but respect man. So if he didn't want to
- 7:45Speaker 1: do the laugh, he had to do do the laugh.
- 7:47Speaker 1: You're like no, no, no, he put he put his
- 7:48Speaker 1: arm around my neck and v I think you know
- 7:52Speaker 1: what that means when laugh, do you do the lab
- 7:56Speaker 1: if the nigga does that to youse? Like DJ, you
- 7:58Speaker 1: was like, chick, did you see the viral video of
- 8:02Speaker 1: the woman who was complaining that her child father only
- 8:04Speaker 1: boys food man the kids? What's your thoughts on that?
- 8:07Speaker 1: She need to shut the fuck up. She need to
- 8:10Speaker 1: go viral shutting the funk up? Did you see it though?
- 8:13Speaker 1: Did I see her? Yeah? She did. Literally, I was
- 8:15Speaker 1: just watching out in a lobby, um and she was
- 8:17Speaker 1: explaining with her wig on and she was like, you know,
- 8:20Speaker 1: he knew what this situation was. And I had four
- 8:24Speaker 1: other kids, bitch, just those kids came out of your vagina.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Those are your responsibility. Yeah, that's how I feel about it.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I'm paying, I'm buying my kid food. Now. If I
- 8:36Speaker 1: got a relationship with those other kids and it's that
- 8:39Speaker 1: kind of day and it's my kids party and I
- 8:41Speaker 1: invite them all, I'm gonna take care of all of them.
- 8:44Speaker 1: But it was a situation where we broke up and
- 8:46Speaker 1: I'm visiting my kids every day. He brings McDonald's. What
- 8:50Speaker 1: she's saying that he used to buy McDonald's for the
- 8:52Speaker 1: other kids. But now that they're not together, we broke
- 8:54Speaker 1: up with the kids too, the bit kids. I broke
- 8:57Speaker 1: up with the kids too when I left you, them
- 9:00Speaker 1: kids got left. They didn't come out of my dick. Yeah,
- 9:05Speaker 1: you kids didn't come out of my balls. Yo. They
- 9:09Speaker 1: don't get McDonald's. That's all my dimes. It is a
- 9:12Speaker 1: sympi of entitlement she has, though, and it's a privilege
- 9:14Speaker 1: that she clearly wasn't appreciating, you know what I mean.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And now that that guy's gone, she's not realizing, like
- 9:21Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do this. He don't. And what
- 9:23Speaker 1: she failed to realize too is most guys, unfortunately, don't
- 9:26Speaker 1: take care of their own kids. So the fact that
- 9:29Speaker 1: he showed up every day to see his kids, even
- 9:31Speaker 1: though he got tensioned with her, not to say that
- 9:33Speaker 1: he get a point for that, because you supposed to
- 9:35Speaker 1: take care of your kid. But she's just she's bugging.
- 9:38Speaker 1: That's that's all I can say. She's bugging. Now. I
- 9:41Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, now, you ain't carolyzed this weekend
- 9:43Speaker 1: Friday Saturday, No Thursday, Friday Saturday. So when you're on stage.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Now everything is so sensitive. Do you watch what you
- 9:51Speaker 1: say and do you curb your jokes or nah? I uh?
- 9:55Speaker 1: Because I don't say, well let me out, I do say,
- 9:58Speaker 1: will you just yeah? You never know what's going to
- 10:01Speaker 1: bed When I hear you say the word be I understand, coach,
- 10:04Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But something I say it
- 10:07Speaker 1: a lot. And when I say it and I see
- 10:09Speaker 1: the women laugh, they understand that I'm saying it in
- 10:12Speaker 1: the funny way, like I'm never being derogatory. But the
- 10:15Speaker 1: point to answer your question, no, I don't. I don't. Uh.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I don't edit what I say because it comes from
- 10:22Speaker 1: a real place to me, and it's not coming from
- 10:24Speaker 1: a disrespectful place. And when you hear the context of
- 10:26Speaker 1: what I'm saying, people don't get offended by that. I mean,
- 10:30Speaker 1: I had I did have a Karen last year. I
- 10:32Speaker 1: saw that that was a mix of alcohol and entitlement,
- 10:35Speaker 1: you know, Karen, entitlement on the stage. What do you do?
- 10:39Speaker 1: What do you think? Because that, first of all, there
- 10:41Speaker 1: was no storm. Let's just let's just talk about it, right,
- 10:44Speaker 1: Let's get let's get into the nitty gritty of it. No, no,
- 10:47Speaker 1: she actually crawled. I ain't gonna hold I'm on stage
- 10:52Speaker 1: and I'm talking. I'm I'm playing to my left side
- 10:55Speaker 1: and I look out my peripheral and she literally has
- 10:58Speaker 1: her hands on the stage like a baby learning the
- 11:01Speaker 1: walk like she's and in my mind when in Jacksonville,
- 11:04Speaker 1: shout out to du Vall. We're in Jacksonville, Florida, and
- 11:09Speaker 1: the stage is packed, like in front of the stage
- 11:11Speaker 1: is packed, and I'm thinking she has to go to
- 11:13Speaker 1: the bathroom and she can't get her way around. So
- 11:16Speaker 1: the only way for her to get to the bathroom
- 11:19Speaker 1: is to come on stage and the walk down the
- 11:20Speaker 1: stairs in the front. And then when she she stands
- 11:23Speaker 1: up and then she had her hands in the Sally
- 11:26Speaker 1: Struther's hands like she's about to save a little nigga
- 11:28Speaker 1: right like like she's about to play. I say, oh,
- 11:30Speaker 1: she has something she wants to say. I need to
- 11:34Speaker 1: hear this now. Some people were like, hey, man, she
- 11:37Speaker 1: could have killed you. She could have nigga. I assessed
- 11:42Speaker 1: her vital organs like the terminator within two seconds. Like
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm a martial artist. I know I know danger when
- 11:48Speaker 1: I'm around it. I don't I don't have to look.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You don't have to be in front of me for
- 11:51Speaker 1: me to feel the danger, right, at no point that
- 11:54Speaker 1: I feel like my life was threatened. So I don't know, man,
- 11:56Speaker 1: I saw all white thugs to them the stage on you, Avion.
- 11:59Speaker 1: That's what you didn't see that that's all white. She's
- 12:02Speaker 1: a white doug. She was. She was a white thug
- 12:05Speaker 1: who was trying to creep up on you. That's why
- 12:06Speaker 1: she was crawling. And she she needed to be treated.
- 12:09Speaker 1: She need to be treated like the thugs she is. Yeah,
- 12:11Speaker 1: you know what, I didn't think of it and look
- 12:14Speaker 1: at it in that way. I stand corrected. That woman
- 12:18Speaker 1: was a dangerous and to my young black life, that's right, right,
- 12:22Speaker 1: even though I'm not that young. But nah, man, I
- 12:26Speaker 1: could have easily gave her the end to the dragon
- 12:28Speaker 1: Bruce Lee slow motion sidekick and had a bitch fly
- 12:32Speaker 1: over eighteen people. And you can't give you a black
- 12:34Speaker 1: man so soon as you do. So that's what I knew.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, what am I gonna do to
- 12:41Speaker 1: this woman That's gonna be positive for me other than
- 12:44Speaker 1: you know. I talked about it for about twenty minutes,
- 12:46Speaker 1: so verbally she caught that ass woman. Yeah, but outside
- 12:49Speaker 1: of that, she was wobbling and doing her thing in
- 12:53Speaker 1: because I told my sex. I told my sex, and
- 12:55Speaker 1: she was just like, you're offending a lot of people
- 12:57Speaker 1: in here. And I asked, I said, all these grown
- 12:59Speaker 1: ass black people there, I asked them, are y'all offended
- 13:02Speaker 1: by me talking about fucking? And it was like, hell, no,
- 13:05Speaker 1: get your white ass off the stage, is what they said.
- 13:07Speaker 1: How you come to a comedy show on your macat
- 13:09Speaker 1: somebody talking about sex? Clearly she wasn't getting enough. Well,
- 13:13Speaker 1: who was the boys? The context? Come to Carolines this weekend.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You'll find out the context of the sex jokes that
- 13:19Speaker 1: I'd be talking about. I'm talking about my dick going
- 13:22Speaker 1: inside vaginas and the creative party. They let her, They
- 13:24Speaker 1: let her sit back in the show after doing that. No,
- 13:26Speaker 1: I don't know. She got kicked out, Okay, scored her
- 13:28Speaker 1: right out and I did twenty long minutes on her
- 13:31Speaker 1: after that. It was it was because it was unexpected,
- 13:34Speaker 1: like she threw off the floor of the show for everybody.
- 13:37Speaker 1: And then it made TMZ and it caught on. And
- 13:41Speaker 1: then the next city I went to, another white woman
- 13:43Speaker 1: tried it. What yeah, yeah, But my boy Carlos, he
- 13:46Speaker 1: was like bitch he was. He flew to the front
- 13:49Speaker 1: of the stage was like, no, we're not even gonna
- 13:50Speaker 1: acknowledge this now. It was just before the Will Chris
- 13:52Speaker 1: rock thing. Yeah before okay, okay, okay, So this I mean,
- 13:55Speaker 1: I got I think it was a cloud chase. It
- 13:57Speaker 1: was a TMG moment. She was like, oh, that other
- 13:59Speaker 1: white one got on DMZ, so let me try my
- 14:02Speaker 1: hand at it. And we didn't even acknowledge it. Are
- 14:05Speaker 1: you concerned about that type of stuff as a comedian now,
- 14:07Speaker 1: because it seemed like you see what happened to day,
- 14:10Speaker 1: you know, I mean Will and Chris. That's I hate
- 14:11Speaker 1: when people even bring that, because that's the ones in
- 14:13Speaker 1: a generation to hate when people start saying comedians are
- 14:17Speaker 1: under attack. No the fuck we're not. These are all
- 14:19Speaker 1: isolated incidents, even the guy I was there when Chappelle
- 14:22Speaker 1: got attacked, and you know, I knew what was about
- 14:26Speaker 1: to happen to him because I knew who all we
- 14:28Speaker 1: were all there, So um, that was even an isolated incident.
- 14:33Speaker 1: That was somebody who had a personal beef with Dave
- 14:37Speaker 1: and his content and whatever his cloud chase moment was.
- 14:42Speaker 1: But I'm not concerned. Scary though you look at the
- 14:44Speaker 1: weapon he brought in and the fact that he was
- 14:45Speaker 1: able to get on that stage, none of that that
- 14:47Speaker 1: that's very scary, you know, Like you said, you could
- 14:49Speaker 1: be looking to the less talking to these people and
- 14:52Speaker 1: he come behind you. Right. But again, if I feared that,
- 14:56Speaker 1: then I would fear going to the grocery storell going
- 14:59Speaker 1: to the air for it, because niggas is wilding the
- 15:01Speaker 1: airports now. I don't know if you don't know, even
- 15:03Speaker 1: watching they've been fighting and doing all kinds of stuff.
- 15:05Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Man. If it's my time,
- 15:09Speaker 1: it's my time. But I'm not. I don't walk in
- 15:12Speaker 1: or live in fear of that. I didn't know you
- 15:14Speaker 1: knew martial arts. There's a lot you don't know, you know,
- 15:17Speaker 1: you guys finger booty holes in here, big rubber that
- 15:21Speaker 1: is martial arts. That is martial arts. That is not
- 15:25Speaker 1: wax on, wax off. That martial arts. We can kill
- 15:29Speaker 1: people with these fingers. We were practicing martial arts and
- 15:32Speaker 1: then but yeah, you know, I don't I'm not a
- 15:35Speaker 1: I'm not a master or anything like that, but I
- 15:38Speaker 1: know enough to get away. No, ok way, you know,
- 15:42Speaker 1: you know, it's so interesting I say this all about
- 15:44Speaker 1: time Nick Cannon. Those martial arts two people think, if
- 15:47Speaker 1: you want to know nigga's a nigga's a little bro.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I've known Nick for a long time, obviously wilding out,
- 15:53Speaker 1: but Nick Nick trains. The thing about Nick that people
- 15:56Speaker 1: sleep on is how multi talented he really is. Yeah, Like,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I don't know where he got caught up in this
- 16:02Speaker 1: what people call him corny, but he's far from corny.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The dude I used to watch him on set. He
- 16:08Speaker 1: would have a programming music board in front of him.
- 16:10Speaker 1: He'd be programming beats, and the MTV execs will be
- 16:13Speaker 1: trying to have a meeting with him, and he's meeting
- 16:14Speaker 1: with him. He's talking about the next line of shows
- 16:17Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Then he's djan and after party
- 16:21Speaker 1: literally DJAM and then he's getting on stage with us
- 16:23Speaker 1: and he's doing characters and he's doing then he freestyle
- 16:27Speaker 1: raps and then he dances too, So he's really he's
- 16:31Speaker 1: really a multi hyphen And then he got a bunch
- 16:34Speaker 1: of kids to who's more talented? Nick Cannon and Michael Jackson,
- 16:37Speaker 1: Shut up, man, you can karate cha. That's a valid question.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Come on, man, let's let's just move on from that. Charlomagne, Okay,
- 16:48Speaker 1: it's clearly Nick Cannon. You know, we talked about it.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Charlomagne was out this way, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson. Who's
- 16:56Speaker 1: more talented? Chris said it himself, he said, that's that's
- 17:04Speaker 1: cap You can't. You can't. You can't even compare the
- 17:07Speaker 1: two because Michael is the influence of Chris. Right, So
- 17:12Speaker 1: it's almost like saying, who's more talented between Eddie Murphy
- 17:15Speaker 1: and Richard Pryor you can't one doesn't cancel out the other.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I actually heard Eddie say this years ago on our cineo.
- 17:21Speaker 1: He said there was a time when people were trying
- 17:25Speaker 1: to pit him and Richard against each other, and Richard
- 17:28Speaker 1: was feeling like, oh, you're the new young guy that's
- 17:30Speaker 1: stealing my thunder. And so Eddie says, if I come
- 17:33Speaker 1: to high school and get a hundred on my tests
- 17:37Speaker 1: this year and years ago you got a hundred on
- 17:40Speaker 1: your test, does my hundred cancel out your hundred? No?
- 17:43Speaker 1: It doesn't. So why can't we just let Chris be
- 17:47Speaker 1: great now and Michael was great then? Period. There's there's
- 17:52Speaker 1: no there's no who's more talented because to me, they're
- 17:56Speaker 1: talented in different ways. Chris is a more youthful Chris
- 18:00Speaker 1: crumps and does be's a b boy, He's a multiple hyphening.
- 18:05Speaker 1: He does all that shit. Michael wasn't flipping both the
- 18:08Speaker 1: stuff Michael. I saw Michael in concert. I saw people
- 18:11Speaker 1: fainting in front of them. I've seen a lot of
- 18:14Speaker 1: people in concert, and let me tell you something, I've
- 18:17Speaker 1: never seen niggas faint at any other concert. And I've
- 18:21Speaker 1: seen all the greats. Michael by far was the one
- 18:25Speaker 1: that was an alien on stage. He made people come,
- 18:27Speaker 1: he made people float. It was niggas was wild and
- 18:32Speaker 1: they was. They had emergency tents on the side of
- 18:35Speaker 1: his shows for er like for people that was passing
- 18:39Speaker 1: out or or or whatever. They were convulsion. They were
- 18:43Speaker 1: doing all kinds of shit. Um, but Michael just had
- 18:46Speaker 1: that effect on people. So his his gift is beyond
- 18:49Speaker 1: a talent. Like all, he can dance really good. Michael
- 18:52Speaker 1: was phenomenal. Yeah, the problem with the Michael Jackson Chris
- 18:55Speaker 1: Brown debates that they're not even talking music and dancing
- 18:58Speaker 1: no more like they start. Oh he can play bath
- 19:00Speaker 1: ball and even spray paint. It's like, what that gotta do?
- 19:02Speaker 1: What we're dealing with a series of people that don't
- 19:04Speaker 1: recognize talent the generation that we're in. You don't have
- 19:07Speaker 1: to be talented to make it, So you have a
- 19:08Speaker 1: lot of people who have no idea what talent is.
- 19:12Speaker 1: You know, everything is viral videos and reality shows. You
- 19:15Speaker 1: don't have to be talented to be famous now. So
- 19:18Speaker 1: when people are talking about talent and who's more talented,
- 19:21Speaker 1: they don't know what the fuck they're saying. I don't
- 19:23Speaker 1: even know what fame is anymore. We had Kim Fields
- 19:25Speaker 1: and here here yesterday, and I was saying that Kim, like, man,
- 19:28Speaker 1: you came up in the eighties when celebrity feb Yeah,
- 19:31Speaker 1: that's why it's still last night. That's why you see
- 19:33Speaker 1: them now be like, oh shit, right famous real? Yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 1: it's it's you don't have to do anything to qualify
- 19:40Speaker 1: to be famous now. You just have to be seen
- 19:42Speaker 1: a whole bunch of times. And when people see you
- 19:45Speaker 1: on the street and recognize you and want to take
- 19:47Speaker 1: a picture with you, now you're famous. So there's that
- 19:48Speaker 1: cheapened uh, like somebody like yourself who's actually talented? Right,
- 19:52Speaker 1: do you think people appreciate that talent. They probably don't,
- 19:55Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't base my I don't hate
- 19:57Speaker 1: my validation on that. I know who I am, I
- 20:00Speaker 1: know what I got. Like, I haven't been on y'all show,
- 20:02Speaker 1: and damn they're eleven years. It's been that long. Yeah,
- 20:06Speaker 1: it's been a long time. This is only my second
- 20:08Speaker 1: time on this show. Yet I'm still relevant eleven years later, right,
- 20:13Speaker 1: So for me, it don't matter what they're saying or
- 20:17Speaker 1: how they define me. I just do what the funk
- 20:20Speaker 1: I do. And because I know that they're not qualified
- 20:23Speaker 1: to put me in a category or a box, I
- 20:26Speaker 1: just keep doing what I do. And you made those adjustments.
- 20:28Speaker 1: You know, you see you on social media. We saw
- 20:30Speaker 1: you on the joint with Cardi bad when y'all was
- 20:32Speaker 1: out in the woods. You know what I mean. Cardi
- 20:35Speaker 1: tried shout out to Cardi bad Man. She wanted the
- 20:36Speaker 1: sweetest people in the world. Cardi's dope. Yeah, I was
- 20:39Speaker 1: gonna ask, you know, since you grind it. We talked
- 20:41Speaker 1: about your grinding. How long you've been grinding? Do you
- 20:44Speaker 1: respect some of these these new comedians that come up
- 20:46Speaker 1: and necessarily don't have to grind the same way A
- 20:49Speaker 1: thousand percent a thousand. I was just talking to Country
- 20:52Speaker 1: Wayne the other day and telling him the same thing, Like,
- 20:55Speaker 1: we put so much emphasis on the platform that they're
- 20:59Speaker 1: using when we all have the access to the same platform.
- 21:03Speaker 1: So just because they're using it and it looks easier
- 21:06Speaker 1: and they don't have to grind that, you sound like
- 21:08Speaker 1: the old nigga like man beg in my day, we
- 21:10Speaker 1: had to walk eighteen miles in snow, bad footage. Nah.
- 21:15Speaker 1: When I see those guys, it puts me in the
- 21:18Speaker 1: mindset of deaf comedy jam back in the day or
- 21:22Speaker 1: a comic view. Right, that's so called the traditional way
- 21:25Speaker 1: of how you grind to be a comedian. Right. There
- 21:27Speaker 1: was garbage niggas there too, and there was greatness in
- 21:31Speaker 1: that platform too, So now you have garbage on the
- 21:34Speaker 1: Internet and you have greatness on the Internet. So haha, Davis,
- 21:39Speaker 1: Country Wayne, Desi Banks Jest hilarious, pretty mist They are
- 21:45Speaker 1: all hilarious. I literally watch their pages. I don't just
- 21:49Speaker 1: watch one video. I will scroll through their pages and
- 21:51Speaker 1: just have a good laugh because they're very clever, they're
- 21:53Speaker 1: very funny, and they've taken that platform and use it
- 21:56Speaker 1: to their advantage. So why wouldn't I use it in
- 21:58Speaker 1: the same way. I have the ability to do it,
- 22:00Speaker 1: and I'm a traditional stand up So I don't feel
- 22:04Speaker 1: no kind of way. I feel like, thank god they
- 22:06Speaker 1: found a newer way to do it and to reach
- 22:08Speaker 1: the audience directly. It cuts out the middleman, you know
- 22:11Speaker 1: what I mean. Agency managers don't always have the answer,
- 22:14Speaker 1: and a lot of times they don't have the patience
- 22:17Speaker 1: or the desire to help develop you. And so I'm
- 22:22Speaker 1: thankful that these guys figure out a way. The white
- 22:24Speaker 1: boy Trevor Wilds its hilarious. Look up Trevor Wilds. He's
- 22:29Speaker 1: he's stupid, but he's selling out theaters just off the internet.
- 22:34Speaker 1: You know, you don't need necessarily to have a stand
- 22:37Speaker 1: up special anymore to get that visibility and to have
- 22:40Speaker 1: people want to come see you. Like we were just
- 22:42Speaker 1: saying earlier, your fame is based on how many times
- 22:45Speaker 1: they see you over and over and over. Yeah, so
- 22:48Speaker 1: that's that's what famous is cumulative. Now you can you
- 22:51Speaker 1: can put a number to it. But to answer your question,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I feel no kind of way. I love these the
- 22:58Speaker 1: folks that are on the internet that Anny I was
- 23:00Speaker 1: just watching in the lobby y'all, y'all watch File at
- 23:03Speaker 1: the dude that the basketball? Yeah, hey man, I get
- 23:08Speaker 1: great laughs watching him and all he's doing his commentary.
- 23:11Speaker 1: But it's the way he's saying. It's a talent. It's
- 23:14Speaker 1: how he's describing basketball, something we all love to watch.
- 23:17Speaker 1: But he's he because he plays, he's watching it in
- 23:20Speaker 1: a certain way. And then he's singing the you know
- 23:22Speaker 1: file you know it's it's just dope. I get I
- 23:25Speaker 1: get a kick out of all that shit. And I'm
- 23:27Speaker 1: not a hater. I support anybody that's doing it the
- 23:29Speaker 1: right way. Or that's that's funny, you think because we
- 23:32Speaker 1: were born in like the nineteen hundreds right right that
- 23:34Speaker 1: we're looking we're looking for these people. We're looking for
- 23:38Speaker 1: something to validate these people like instead of just enjoying
- 23:41Speaker 1: them and realizing this is the new way, we're waiting
- 23:43Speaker 1: for them to get signed to a TV show or movie.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I think I think we live in a hater culture.
- 23:48Speaker 1: That's what hip hop has become. We can't wait to hate,
- 23:52Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I've seen it with y'all.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I've seen it with anyone who is doing their thing.
- 23:57Speaker 1: People want to find something to say to tear you down,
- 24:01Speaker 1: and that's just our coach. I don't know why the
- 24:02Speaker 1: fuck that is. Back in the seventies, Uh, it was
- 24:06Speaker 1: more peace loving and you know what I'm saying in
- 24:08Speaker 1: hair Grease and everybody was more like yeah brother, yeah sister,
- 24:10Speaker 1: and it was more unity and something about this hip
- 24:13Speaker 1: hop world man, where we want to throw away everything
- 24:16Speaker 1: tomorrow and are you wearing them? You still wearing them
- 24:18Speaker 1: slides last week? You need the new ship and it's
- 24:22Speaker 1: just the new ship. So we do that with our
- 24:24Speaker 1: gems too, you know what I mean. Thank God for
- 24:26Speaker 1: the New Addition movie, for example, because we all loved
- 24:30Speaker 1: New Addition, right, but it opened them up to a
- 24:33Speaker 1: new fan base that that that that movie, and now
- 24:36Speaker 1: they're thriving again. They're having another wave and they've had
- 24:38Speaker 1: about seventy five waves. But I say that to say
- 24:42Speaker 1: it's a shame that a lot of our artists got
- 24:44Speaker 1: to do joint concerts in theaters when Rolling Stones can
- 24:49Speaker 1: do arenas for the rest of their life or you two,
- 24:52Speaker 1: because they don't throw away their gems. We always want
- 24:55Speaker 1: the next new hot shit. I would say that in
- 24:57Speaker 1: radio as well, Like you listen to some of the
- 24:59Speaker 1: pop stag. They still play Rolling Stones, right, But like
- 25:02Speaker 1: if you listen to to some of these hip hop stations,
- 25:05Speaker 1: you won't hear a ll cool J. You won't hear
- 25:07Speaker 1: a new edition unless it's Poison. Poison. They're they're gonna
- 25:10Speaker 1: play poison, but like you don't even hear montell Jordan,
- 25:13Speaker 1: this is how we do it, unless it's throwback our
- 25:15Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's crazy because, like you said,
- 25:16Speaker 1: it's still our gems. It's still a lot of music,
- 25:18Speaker 1: it's still hits, and we need to value that. We
- 25:20Speaker 1: need to value We need to value to the gems. Man.
- 25:24Speaker 1: I think we're so quick to throw away and to
- 25:26Speaker 1: hate on. And you know, people want to see you fall,
- 25:29Speaker 1: they want to see the scandal. But what I've learned
- 25:31Speaker 1: on how to pivot out of all that shit is
- 25:33Speaker 1: because of all of that, we live in a short
- 25:36Speaker 1: attention span generation. So you do some dumb shit today
- 25:42Speaker 1: and it's by next Thursday, they're gonna forget about that
- 25:46Speaker 1: shit because there's gonna be forty other things that happensolutely.
- 25:48Speaker 1: And by the way, people don't really care because here's
- 25:51Speaker 1: the truth, didn't matter if all of those people that
- 25:53Speaker 1: critique us got the same type of critique every day.
- 25:57Speaker 1: That culture wouldn't even exist because nobody body would want that,
- 26:00Speaker 1: that smoke, nobody would want that for themself. And you're right,
- 26:03Speaker 1: So the people that sit back and critique everything that
- 26:06Speaker 1: we do. Right. And I don't like his beard. This
- 26:09Speaker 1: beard is fake. I've heard people saying that, but it's true.
- 26:11Speaker 1: That's true. I've heard it saying that, and they're talking
- 26:15Speaker 1: about your your your transformation of your face. That's true too.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I never bleached, but I got a vibes cartel. No, No,
- 26:23Speaker 1: I got a good dermatologist. No surgery that they think
- 26:25Speaker 1: I got surgery. And he gets his eyebrows though, never
- 26:31Speaker 1: got my brows done. You get your eye No I don't.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I've never got my eyebrows done. I would tell y'all no,
- 26:37Speaker 1: they didn't getting that one thread. No, no reconstruction surgery
- 26:41Speaker 1: on my brow. That's why goes up like this. Not
- 26:42Speaker 1: to be honest, I did get him ars back in
- 26:44Speaker 1: the day. But I'll tell you why. The truth always
- 26:47Speaker 1: comes out. It always come out. I never never touched
- 26:51Speaker 1: my hint brown, except for one time back in nineteen
- 26:55Speaker 1: seventy nine when I had one incident. I did. I
- 26:58Speaker 1: used to do tell the marketing, but my two home brothers,
- 27:01Speaker 1: Nina and you don't care about the story. Now. Is
- 27:03Speaker 1: the fact that you had it done, but they gasped
- 27:05Speaker 1: me up. They told me too, pot got the liye
- 27:06Speaker 1: brother dos all right. The fact that you got it
- 27:10Speaker 1: done and you're fucking lied about it two minutes ago,
- 27:12Speaker 1: and now you had to face up. So that means
- 27:14Speaker 1: every other thing is true. Ye, reconstructive surgery, surgery, BELI
- 27:21Speaker 1: dream is real. It's all real. I forgot what our
- 27:24Speaker 1: point was. But what was he talking about? I don't know. No,
- 27:28Speaker 1: he's not getting to stop it. What do you think?
- 27:30Speaker 1: What do you think about the current state of like
- 27:33Speaker 1: just comedy, is its standing stand up still matter or
- 27:37Speaker 1: one thousand percent? Um? I think I think comedy is
- 27:40Speaker 1: in a great place actually, Like we're all making money
- 27:42Speaker 1: off of it. The bags are nice. Um, it's a
- 27:45Speaker 1: way for you to control your own voice and destiny. Um,
- 27:49Speaker 1: it's a lot of us out here getting it and
- 27:52Speaker 1: with legitimate fan bases. And comedy is very necessary. You know.
- 27:57Speaker 1: I get people all the time coming up to me saying, man,
- 28:00Speaker 1: during the pandemic, you saved my life. These are the
- 28:02Speaker 1: words that they use. I'm just doing what I'm doing.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I don't think about who I'm affecting, whose life I'm
- 28:08Speaker 1: so called saving, but the fact that they feel that
- 28:12Speaker 1: I had helped them through whatever dark time they was in.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I know what my purpose is. I know that I'm
- 28:18Speaker 1: in my purpose, and even though I go through my
- 28:19Speaker 1: own dark shit. You know what I'm saying, I go
- 28:21Speaker 1: through my own struggles and I'm glad you are one
- 28:23Speaker 1: of the first advocates of therapy. Um. I've been in
- 28:27Speaker 1: therapy for the last three years too, So just managing
- 28:30Speaker 1: my own transparency, of my own you know, my my
- 28:34Speaker 1: bags of darkness or my bags of trauma. I'm happy
- 28:40Speaker 1: that I can help somebody else to my gift. You
- 28:42Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Well, got you in therapy. What
- 28:44Speaker 1: was the reason you decided to relationship? I was I
- 28:47Speaker 1: was breaking up with this with this girl, and in
- 28:50Speaker 1: the middle of an argument we were having, I saw
- 28:55Speaker 1: the spotlight turn around on me and I was like, wait,
- 28:57Speaker 1: I've been here before with several other women and this
- 29:00Speaker 1: same type of argument, the same exact energy. It has
- 29:04Speaker 1: to be me. It has to be something that I'm
- 29:06Speaker 1: doing to attract this type of toxicity. And I literally
- 29:10Speaker 1: got on the phone with my boy jay Lee. Jay
- 29:12Speaker 1: Lee as an actor, he's comedian too, but he's one
- 29:16Speaker 1: of the first friends that I had that talked about therapy. Right.
- 29:20Speaker 1: He did a whole movie about it with Michael Eally
- 29:22Speaker 1: called Atypical Wednesdays. And so I call him in the
- 29:26Speaker 1: midst of that argument, like she's packing her ship, she's
- 29:29Speaker 1: doing all that shit. I said, Yo, man, can you
- 29:32Speaker 1: refer media therapist? I think I need to talk to
- 29:34Speaker 1: somebody like I was really in that in that mindset.
- 29:36Speaker 1: And so anyway, long story short, I ended up getting
- 29:40Speaker 1: a therapist, and I wanted to make sure it was
- 29:41Speaker 1: a black therapist because I didn't want to explain the
- 29:43Speaker 1: black experience to somebody too on top of other traumas, right,
- 29:48Speaker 1: And yeah, I saw I started going and we clicked immediately,
- 29:51Speaker 1: and she helped me really navigate my life and to
- 29:55Speaker 1: put her on the table. And that's something that I
- 29:57Speaker 1: don't mind doing anyway. I like to be trans parent
- 30:00Speaker 1: with myself and I don't like to lie to myself.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I mean, most comedians are very self aware. That's why
- 30:04Speaker 1: y'all are able to be so observational. Yeah, but a
- 30:07Speaker 1: lot of us feel like, especially in this hip hop culture,
- 30:09Speaker 1: a lot of us feel like we still have to
- 30:10Speaker 1: be tough and we gotta be cool. We gotta be
- 30:13Speaker 1: we think we're rappers, you know. We we try to
- 30:16Speaker 1: act like with rappers personify and I'm not trying to
- 30:20Speaker 1: do that. Man Like I can rap, but that don't
- 30:23Speaker 1: mean I gotta act like sh is all good nigga,
- 30:26Speaker 1: you know me, I'm out here so good like my entourage.
- 30:30Speaker 1: These niggas. Comedians are way really. The rappers comedians way
- 30:35Speaker 1: really and rappers to me, none, no, But we're rappers
- 30:38Speaker 1: aren't allowed to be real. The culture of rap does
- 30:40Speaker 1: not allow them to be vulnerable. And I don't I
- 30:45Speaker 1: use the word soft loosely, but you get looked at
- 30:50Speaker 1: as soft if you're a rapper that's crying or or
- 30:55Speaker 1: showing emotion about something. It's just you know, rappers still
- 30:58Speaker 1: built on that street mentality. And I get it, like
- 31:01Speaker 1: I bumped that shit in the whip, but I don't
- 31:03Speaker 1: want to feel angry all the time. Yeah, you know,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's an undressing. Some comedians say they don't want to
- 31:07Speaker 1: go to therapy and stuff because they don't want to
- 31:09Speaker 1: fix that trauma. Because they feel like that trauma is
- 31:11Speaker 1: like the source of a lot of their their their inspiration,
- 31:14Speaker 1: their creativity, their jokes. Now, get that shit out. Get
- 31:18Speaker 1: that shit out. I don't give a fuck how how
- 31:21Speaker 1: creative you think is making you go to therapy and
- 31:24Speaker 1: get that stuff out, because there's always a pattern that
- 31:26Speaker 1: you're leaving when there's trauma, there's a pattern that you're living,
- 31:30Speaker 1: and there's a pattern that you're leaving in the wake
- 31:32Speaker 1: of whoever's path that you cross. You have to get
- 31:36Speaker 1: that out. You know. It's a lot of people that
- 31:38Speaker 1: that say cocaine makes them a better artist. Yeah, all right,
- 31:41Speaker 1: but that shit is sucking your brain up though. You know,
- 31:43Speaker 1: I'm saying, you may have five fire projects off of
- 31:47Speaker 1: that cocaine, but you need to get healed from that.
- 31:49Speaker 1: You need you need to flush. Did it? Did it
- 31:52Speaker 1: help you? Can? You know? Breaking up? People don't realize
- 31:54Speaker 1: that's like that's grieving. You know what I'm saying, when
- 31:56Speaker 1: you break up with somebody, Oh for sure. Cor the
- 31:59Speaker 1: radio yesterday he was hurt. Emmins girl broken up. It's real. Um.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I was on tour years ago when I when I
- 32:07Speaker 1: first started with this this older comedian and he said calmly.
- 32:12Speaker 1: He said, a woman can make you feel your best
- 32:15Speaker 1: and a woman can make you feel your worst. That's
- 32:18Speaker 1: all he said. Bars And hell yeah, I agrieve. I
- 32:24Speaker 1: grieve because it's it's it's it's hard when you really
- 32:27Speaker 1: are in love with somebody and you cannot figure out
- 32:30Speaker 1: how to make it work. And then you start going
- 32:32Speaker 1: back and saying, man, where did I go wrong? Somewhere?
- 32:35Speaker 1: Did I not get to notice person enough to to
- 32:38Speaker 1: bond with them and to make it real, to make
- 32:40Speaker 1: it last? Yeah, that shit is, it's crazy. And you know,
- 32:44Speaker 1: a lot of times we breaking up with one person,
- 32:46Speaker 1: it's hard, and some of us have broken up with
- 32:48Speaker 1: five people, and that shit is, it's tough, it's tough
- 32:50Speaker 1: to carry. So you got to get therapy for those
- 32:53Speaker 1: things and then realize how the relationship that your parents
- 32:56Speaker 1: had affected you. No, absolutely, you know what I mean.
- 32:58Speaker 1: That's that's where a lot of the trama lives. So

- 34:04Speaker 1: I think that all these years has been Apion. There's
- 34:08Speaker 1: no va. My fucking name Charlotta Magne. I just thought
- 34:10Speaker 1: I can say Chota. I didn't you say Charlotte Mane.
- 34:15Speaker 1: There's a G in that motherfucker. How did I know
- 34:19Speaker 1: how to say that? I didn't say Charlotte Magnee. I
- 34:20Speaker 1: don't think i've ever heard that a fion. How did
- 34:23Speaker 1: you not hear it? Nigga? I always thought they was
- 34:26Speaker 1: saying afion this whole time. Wow, you learned something new
- 34:31Speaker 1: every day. Goodness, charlotmagine, fuck you and just give me
- 34:35Speaker 1: the number to your eyebrows. Specially before my shows at Caroline,
- 34:38Speaker 1: I want to make sure my shit is lined up
- 34:40Speaker 1: and plucked and all going in the right direction. So
- 34:44Speaker 1: last question before we get a patt of here, we
- 34:45Speaker 1: always asked the mount Rushmore of comedians, Yeah, who do
- 34:49Speaker 1: you have? That's that's a long list. But for me,
- 34:53Speaker 1: I had to talk about who influenced me. The most correct.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Number one is Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Um, Martin Lawrence. Okay,
- 35:03Speaker 1: the Wayn's family, I count his one because it's a
- 35:07Speaker 1: lot of faces on that. But but you know, Kenan
- 35:10Speaker 1: and Damon and all of them. So you mean when
- 35:12Speaker 1: you say way, you mean just with the show I
- 35:14Speaker 1: would stand up everything, everything wins. Those those they don't
- 35:19Speaker 1: get talked about enough as a comedy royalty right um, writing, producing, performing,
- 35:27Speaker 1: stand up nepotism right in the in the in the
- 35:31Speaker 1: right way. You know what I'm saying, Like, they just
- 35:34Speaker 1: don't get they don't get talked about enough and kind
- 35:36Speaker 1: of unofficial in a way. Yeah, I'm ways they they
- 35:39Speaker 1: adopted me. They definitely adopted me, but rightfully so. And
- 35:45Speaker 1: I was able to say this to Keenan when we
- 35:46Speaker 1: did dance Flick. I said, I said, you know, I
- 35:48Speaker 1: went to the School of Wains, I went to your school.
- 35:51Speaker 1: I studied everything you did. And he looked at me
- 35:54Speaker 1: and said, he said, you did it the right way.
- 35:56Speaker 1: You you did great. You soaked up all the right
- 35:59Speaker 1: information and that's why you're here. So yeah, I definitely
- 36:04Speaker 1: I no, no, no, cap Like, I really studied those
- 36:08Speaker 1: those folks who's the first one that embraced you with it? Marlin,
- 36:12Speaker 1: Marlon and Sean because I auditioned for them, uh for
- 36:15Speaker 1: this this pilot that we did on VH one, And
- 36:19Speaker 1: I made them niggas laugh so hard in the room,
- 36:22Speaker 1: Sean through a water bottle at me while I was
- 36:24Speaker 1: still in audition mode. Right I was playing this this
- 36:27Speaker 1: rapper and I was freestyle rapping. I was going going
- 36:30Speaker 1: off in the room. But anyway, the two of them
- 36:33Speaker 1: were the ones that, uh that understood the DNA because
- 36:36Speaker 1: I studied them. They were the younger Wayans and so
- 36:38Speaker 1: when they used to do those characters snuff in Rome.
- 36:41Speaker 1: I copied that, like I really was just you know,
- 36:44Speaker 1: I dialed into that voice of what they did. Um.
- 36:47Speaker 1: But anyways, Um, George Carlin, Oh yeah, I would have
- 36:56Speaker 1: said Chris Rock because he's up there too, but he's
- 36:59Speaker 1: in fluenced by Carlin as well, so we got to
- 37:01Speaker 1: go to the source. But again, that Mount Rushmore is
- 37:05Speaker 1: a it's a it's a long list of people I
- 37:06Speaker 1: slept on calling. And I mean, don't get me wrong,
- 37:08Speaker 1: I've always heard the greatness of George Colin. But when
- 37:11Speaker 1: I saw that doctor that's on HBO Max right now,
- 37:13Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, I was like, man, there's nobody
- 37:16Speaker 1: doing that right now fearlessly. Yeah. And he was doing
- 37:19Speaker 1: it way back then. So you know, imagine if he
- 37:21Speaker 1: was alive today and doing some of that same material,
- 37:24Speaker 1: how it would be received or not received because of
- 37:27Speaker 1: the sensitivities that we're in. But honorable mention that Richard
- 37:30Speaker 1: Pryor like, he's the guy frother of it at all.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I don't think he can even be ranked. Um and
- 37:34Speaker 1: like it or love it? Uh, the genius of Cosby
- 37:37Speaker 1: as a comedian as a comedian, Um, it's it's it's warranted. Um.
- 37:43Speaker 1: He did some brilliant stuff as a businessman, as a comedian,
- 37:46Speaker 1: all the other shit I can't vouch for. Got you,
- 37:48Speaker 1: fellow me. You will say his name right? What's my name? Afion,
- 37:54Speaker 1: mister Crockett, that's what Russell. It's very He never said
- 37:59Speaker 1: it correct way. The afion. Afion sounds smarter, thounds more,
- 38:04Speaker 1: sounds more, Luca, you should say Affion. He called me
- 38:06Speaker 1: Afion all the time. This guys good, he's good. He
