00:00:47 Yeah, that happens to good intros and terrible outros

00:00:50 Be trash, huh? Yeah, you've seen it happen man people fall out interviews. I interviews is something different

00:00:56 You gotta actually be yourself. You gotta actually know that the curtains is that most of the time? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right

00:01:02 That is real my eyes in the back

00:01:04 It's something man. You've been in the game for a long time, man

00:01:06 Real long time man. So I was uh 19

00:01:09 19 how's the journey? How's the journey been?

00:01:13 It's comfortable man. It's always it's always worked for me the I find um, you know, I find comfort in the chaos

00:01:20 Once you can do that

00:01:21 Then you're gonna you'll win if you can't find comfort in in the chaos and you I've seen people come and go

00:01:26 I can't even remember some of the names of the greats in my mind at that time like

00:01:30 This dude is that guy and then you don't see him no more, you know

00:01:33 And you're like what happened and it has a lot to do with that that mirror, you know what i'm saying?

00:01:37 It has a lot to do with that. It seemed like you know

00:01:40 Comedians is like like they really out there now right now, you know recently. I love it

00:01:44 I love it man. We came up and it was crazy and it was like

00:01:49 Uh, um from the interview, we ain't gotta get into dropping names from the interview

00:01:53 The the interview man and um, I had my talks about it and I really don't talk that I used to talk tmz all the time

00:01:59 I believe and they said at one point me and too short was the most talked to we lead a club all the time

00:02:03 we talked tmz, but I try not to as much because of the uh,

00:02:07 It feels like some a lot of it be bait and a lot of it be no not not just tmz

00:02:11 But any interviews in most cases they you're being baited, but I don't believe that was happening that day

00:02:17 I think it was the barbecue the barbershop the whatever you know what i'm saying?

00:02:20 So had he's had that person say my name even in the light

00:02:24 He said some great things about him before but i'm sure man in the comedic essence

00:02:27 We always talk shit about each other if you can't handle that then what why are we playing man?

00:02:31 the light was shined on comedy and

00:02:34 although some of the personal stuff was said was

00:02:37 On my how I had those things was unnecessary

00:02:42 But I don't know the history we don't know the history of anyone and how their perception of what happened

00:02:47 Is is you know, what's the real perception?

00:02:51 You talk to let's think about it. We're talking about stories like that that that first of all

00:02:55 I love any stories whether they be real or not. That's how we became who we are

00:02:59 The drug game the stories what you heard about what was real what was fake

00:03:04 Yeah, what what what grabbed you the comedy is the same way stories you hear about red fox like did he really do that?

00:03:09 He kicked eight bitches out the limo. It could have been one but you'd like that big fish. Did he really kick eight now?

00:03:13 I have no idea

00:03:16 But the stories

00:03:18 And then you're gonna tell it again if we if we really talk about stories

00:03:21 Which is I hate to get into everything going on people getting in trouble and everything and i'm talking about old crimes or whatever

00:03:26 Dude, you could talk to it right after something happened

00:03:29 On the news and that you will embellish or don't remember what happened. Yeah shit just happened behind him dude at home. He had the gun he

00:03:38 You did you get he shot at me too?

00:03:40 He shot at me and that bitch almost got shot and that almost got shot

00:03:44 It is right after so how are we gonna take stories that are 10 years old and actually take them to heart?

00:03:49 and I don't want to get into the

00:03:51 All all stories, but his story was you know i'm saying it light it lit the fuse for just

00:03:57 Comedy we more than just comedians. It means something to me about this bit. It means something about this joke. No one's perfect

00:04:05 Your favorite's favorite is that you like and now as a comic if i'm good I could defend whatever that imagery is immediate

00:04:12 That was been presented

00:04:14 But it's some people that you know, like just comedically and not being on a bad side

00:04:18 Did you know who nice you know nice with the hands in the street, right?

00:04:21 And then it's the you don't say it's at the court. Then it's a street ball because you're like, all right, cool. So

00:04:25 I don't I I was happy that just comedy alone other other than the people and people were hurt or felt. Um

00:04:33 Because all these people that that would discuss have helped me. Mm-hmm have helped me man. I'm talking about

00:04:40 Kevin b just kevin being I always talk about kevin hart was my roommate

00:04:45 But the fact he came the reason he came because I needed help too

00:04:49 I just wasn't ever gonna say it and he was like yo d this is this let's rent this i'm being for this

00:04:54 No more time i'm about to i'm out of here from he told me that then

00:04:58 so when I hear something like someone who I I love like cat williams is the pretty much i'm gonna say his name now because

00:05:04 He's I want to he is like mike tyson to us for comedy

00:05:07 Because no matter what happens you want him to win

00:05:10 Ain't that crazy like even no matter what you like when if mike said he's fighting tomorrow regardless of everything you've heard and said

00:05:17 It you want to watch it

00:05:21 and

00:05:22 to further that

00:05:23 Analogy if that's the proper words and I ain't do good in school, but i'm doing all right now, you know i'm saying

00:05:28 Even now

00:05:31 Holyfield that was a big that was a big deal. That was removal of

00:05:35 all grace

00:05:37 And he sat down with him

00:05:39 Mike's

00:05:42 Sat down with holyfield that could not show you how comedy we're much milder than that

00:05:46 You know what i'm saying?

00:05:47 And mike tried to bite that ear like a chicken

00:05:49 Dude, he still got some of his like literally some of his dna like it's circling like he's sitting next to him

00:05:54 He's sitting next to him

00:05:58 basically related

00:06:00 You know what i'm saying and they can still work so I know comedy

00:06:03 Could be that and it definitely sent the ticket sales up for everybody the people that didn't need sales

00:06:08 um, which whatever got on the internet with me talking to uh, the goat and all that

00:06:13 It he did was it was unneeded for him at the time because I live in both

00:06:17 um worlds of it and that's what I was trying to convey

00:06:21 I have been the biggest bigger movies i've been in the from the 21 jump streets to who made the potatoes out

00:06:28 I had fun in both. Oh, yeah, who made the potatoes out?

00:06:30 Y'all I love it. I love that movie man

00:06:36 Wanted to do part two to this day. No matter what I still saw kind of way one, but

00:06:43 I'm saying i've been on both sides. So I see the comedians who eat crazy and i've made crazy money doing this

00:06:49 But i've also had some tough times where I had to be helped so i've lived in both worlds

00:06:53 So when I seen it happen right at the split

00:06:56 I was able to decipher whether it was good for comedy or not and no one could tell me different regardless of what your status is

00:07:03 brought upon by

00:07:05 Yourself how hard you've worked where hollywood saw you whatever got you where you are to be the

00:07:11 That person nothing you could do to deter me from from what my thought process was because I live in it

00:07:17 When it's talking about being in a club

00:07:20 Sometimes when they rap in i'll be like you wasn't there bro

00:07:24 For real, i'll still be out. I i'm the only comedian that beat dean

00:07:28 I don't know nobody unless they got eight other comics with them or they didn't go on the seller

00:07:32 I'd be out bro. Like so i've seen and I mean that because monday raise my monday night show comedians be needing 50

00:07:40 And i've seen somebody get

00:07:42 30 million dollar deals and i've seen this person hurt like i'm funny in him and that person I can't judge that but what I can

00:07:48 do is see

00:07:50 Who's benefiting from whatever this moment is because I don't live in minutes. I live in moments in that moment for comedy

00:07:55 People start researching us

00:07:58 That did wait and nobody and people still we're gonna it's gonna blow over and it was a band day people

00:08:05 Not paying attention to that either. We're so worried about

00:08:08 What comedian got mad just got mad at that which I and a lot of times it's none of our business not meaning like

00:08:14 It's the world business when they talk about i'm talking comedians

00:08:17 My uncle auntie talking

00:08:20 Do I think certain if you hear my auntie is money and my uncle is dl. Yeah

00:08:25 Cool, I understand what you're saying. My auntie is monique who fed me

00:08:30 Always funny and dl same and i'm supposed to get them

00:08:34 i'm sitting back like you you're laughing though, you're

00:08:37 But you better not say what you thought was funny. Mm-hmm

00:08:40 That's state business right and it brought a light on whatever it is and after this because it's all out regardless of what was happening

00:08:46 And maybe to the most part for everyone

00:08:48 They'll heal

00:08:51 we fought

00:08:52 We see who got hurt in what instances and now we can make some harlem nights again

00:08:57 Now we can make greatness again

00:09:00 And everybody's like oh they working together

00:09:02 Imagine some of the people you think got beef if they actually put out one song for real

00:09:06 But we can't because we like oh we got to keep it separate because we don't even have us got to keep it separate

00:09:10 So that's just my take on the whole conversation, but can't nobody tell me what I felt and what I thought

00:09:16 What my perception was when i'm sitting in it i'm sitting right here watching the shit

00:09:22 I'm like, oh that you just sold out that you just sold out people gonna ask these questions

00:09:26 And for a week, we weren't worried about everybody

00:09:31 and how they

00:09:33 Everybody the cocaine dropped in the water. Everybody had a boat

00:09:37 the cocaine dropped the the cartel didn't show up and all of us were sitting with a boat like

00:09:42 That's what it was the comedy crack crack everybody's like like what do we do

00:09:50 We out of here. Right? You've never seen you've never seen a cocaine movie ever in your life where they left the coke

00:09:56 name one

00:09:58 Name one movie where they accidentally found some coke and left it name a writer somewhere

00:10:02 Who thought the coke was in the water?

00:10:04 We leave him with it

00:10:06 Not even that's that if you ever see a movie and there's a shootout

00:10:08 You see the coke and he walks out the room. You'd be like he better go back in for the money

00:10:12 If there's ever a murder

00:10:15 If it's a it was a drug deal in the room in a movie and you see my air by dab

00:10:19 One person get up he grabbed a coke and ran out. You're like he better go back for the money

00:10:22 Like that's what it is. That's what it was. It was that moment that

00:10:24 it was an abundance of of

00:10:27 Mixed

00:10:29 Mixed emotions with with who should have said what shouldn't have said what what did she do wrong? Step back?

00:10:34 Talk ask questions like like you both do

00:10:37 And then what about this if you don't you're not about there's no nothing about comedy

00:10:41 then you're gonna ask questions and then you're gonna

00:10:44 The more you give me the more you know what i'm saying and we drank it all the way there was a yak

00:10:49 It was had to be yak in the cups

00:12:52 People benefited and my eight and whoever didn't eat was already eating

00:12:58 It's already full

00:13:01 So you and kevin hart was roommates back in the day before he got on

00:13:05 Kev kind of was old man. Like we all we

00:13:09 This was funny too

00:13:11 Like even knowing stuff like knowing what a tv deal was and we all had development deals

00:13:16 myself

00:13:18 Cory hokum, I believe had one of these are big deals back in the day. This is we're talking about six-figure deals

00:13:22 Just to sit down in hollywood

00:13:24 Kev worked for that. We all went to the festivals and

00:13:28 We got money to relocate

00:13:31 I already had some other money for some other stuff

00:13:33 I was I I was out and about already when I landed in hollywood

00:13:37 I took I won the lab riots, which they gave me a volkswagen. This is funny today

00:13:41 I tell the story just for people to think clearly now, but I was out and about

00:13:45 Clearly now, but they gave me a volkswagen then gave me the money to pay it off this comedy central deal

00:13:51 Volkswagen dealerships right next to the lexus dealership. I said take this put it on that

00:13:56 Don't do that kids

00:13:59 Don't do that kids because when the money ran out for me don't do that. I was hiding that car

00:14:03 They give you something in hollywood to take the debt what they gave you don't because they wanted that they put it next to that

00:14:10 And they knew a nigga was coming there. They knew I would look and see the lexuses

00:14:14 They knew it. You know what i'm saying? Anyway

00:14:16 so we all had

00:14:18 We all had these

00:14:20 We all had deals

00:14:21 so I think it was a a good way to save money because when he did it when he when he moved in I needed it

00:14:26 like I had a I have a house in chicago, which I bought immediately as soon as I

00:14:30 Got on some money

00:14:33 and

00:14:34 Kids and I wasn't working as much and I didn't know how to to do comedy club stuff that all was kept

00:14:40 Like because I was so much I came from I I pretty much owned everything. I had my comedy club my promotions

00:14:46 I taught my boys how to promote you ever talk to any of these dudes who throw these shows

00:14:49 They'll tell you in chicago. I do my own show still once a year out there my own

00:14:53 No, I am my own live nation. I am my own ag which why it's always so difficult for me to make deals because I know

00:14:58 all the numbers

00:15:00 Because it's show business like this comedy shit came natural. What's the real business of it?

00:15:04 You know, it's in a pimpery is dead

00:15:06 But during the process if you don't learn these things

00:15:09 You learn as you go and then it's too late. You're part of the machine. So what I had to

00:15:13 The knowledge is I ran the comedy club

00:15:16 Own the comedy club on my name

00:15:19 And I was like, this is how I want to I want to still

00:15:22 maintain this part of the business have

00:15:25 Sort of bigger picture of if you go about it this way and you take these you build these blocks

00:15:31 I've always seen it like that like

00:15:33 And I was like no man's dope game. Oh, yeah

00:15:36 you know i'm saying and that's

00:15:39 One of the things that makes him brilliant

00:15:41 One reason you can never hate on that. So in that essence, that's what led to him being like, yo, let's split this

00:15:46 Do this real quick because when I make my next move i'm do that it was all calculated

00:15:49 Now now

00:15:53 Kev basically gave you the game on another level, but you couldn't see it you saying

00:15:57 Yeah, the business side of it. I was but I was also angry man. The world was angry

00:16:01 I know now I mean I had a lot to do you can't blame anybody for what you retain

00:16:08 But i'll say like my relationship with my mom was just really crazy

00:16:12 and um

00:16:15 when you're searching for

00:16:17 Uh when you're already comfortable like comedy, I was always comfortable. Is this what I do?

00:16:20 And what comedy is comedy and then love

00:16:23 What did I love more what and those they gave me the same the same rush comedy and making love and being with because I was

00:16:32 Like oh i'm i'm upset and this is the the world I need to live in in order to to

00:16:37 to even put up with my

00:16:38 What was going on at the time and how what I was trying to face and trying to but I don't like to talk because i'm

00:16:44 Not a soft guy and not because not like i'm weak. I'm not gonna be upset i'm saying

00:16:48 I'm here. So to talk about would only be like

00:16:52 adding extra extra anchors to this boat that don't exist no more that i've been lifting up, but

00:16:58 I do do it to be inspirational to let people know like

00:17:01 Your parents lives aren't aren't all your life

00:17:06 And

00:17:07 As black people we teach our kids all the time. We a lot of places you owe me and you really don't

00:17:12 My daughters don't owe me anything

00:17:15 For them being here, you know what I mean?

00:17:17 And we feel when we have to and people don't notice that's what's going on with us when we piss too

00:17:21 that's why we go to the comedy shows want to see a talk about some crazy shit because like

00:17:25 I'm sitting at home. My mom's doing this my dad, you know, talk though. She mad at me about this

00:17:29 About that this and that and we we live with it

00:17:35 At the same time

00:17:36 I talk so much. You gotta have the the balance of knowing your who your mom was when she did have you young woman

00:17:43 Your dad was a player type motherfucker, whatever that happened with that. You do remind her him no matter what goes wrong you are

00:17:50 For her. So all that was happening and I think I was battling with it like

00:17:55 It was always it was it was never like f*** hollywood

00:17:59 But I was like, I definitely didn't feel like I needed it at one point all my moves I made on my own

00:18:03 almost to this day I could think of

00:18:05 a few people that helped i've been in

00:18:07 but there's no one who's like I could dedicate like

00:18:10 this person other than me being in a room but like i'm supposed to be here down to the the

00:18:14 The f***ing um all-star comedy jam like the whole shack thing like shack had put me on shows before myself shack

00:18:20 I think arias we shack with shack always did yearly comedy shows first magic johnson

00:18:24 I think had the weekend and shag did the weekend but

00:18:26 I got an email from jeff clannigan. It was like yo come to the all-star. It was an invite

00:18:33 I was like what the all-star comedy and I wrote back ain't no all-star comedy. Let's derail on it

00:18:38 He's like yo cool out you want to do it? I'm like hell. Yeah, I'm gonna do it

00:18:41 Jeff clannigan, jeff clannigan. He used to shoot movies and stuff right movies tv shows great producer. Yeah

00:18:47 I think he did some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah back when they

00:18:51 Goings those people always putting that. Yeah. No dog miracle maker. I think him

00:18:55 I think he still works for harvey, but I don't want to say it and I know but he him and kevin

00:18:59 Partners on a lot of stuff. He's a smart guy

00:19:02 um

00:19:03 But that's how I got on. I'm just using that as an example. That's how that you know

00:19:06 Barbershop tim story came to see me at the improv asked me to come audition actors

00:19:11 So I was sitting on his side and auditioning eve and sherry shepherd came in and read where I remember mike ely came in and read

00:19:19 And then they let me read for mike's part, but I suck

00:19:22 um

00:19:24 um

00:19:25 and then um

00:19:26 he was like, oh you want to be in it and then

00:19:28 fucking ray ray the fucking

00:19:31 And my name in the movie was hustle guy

00:19:33 I went to cedric in the movie during the movie and I said

00:19:36 I need this to help my comedy call me ray because my name is d ray

00:19:40 I said call me ray so people can equate ray ray to d ray for my first movie. That's all always how I thought

00:19:46 Anyway, I was like, let me put my my stamp and shit like that. So most of I got I hustled for it

00:19:51 so i'm not saying that um

00:19:53 the proper way and the protocol and the what is it the i'm just really unorthodox when it come to

00:19:58 maneuvering through everything

00:20:01 You know what i'm saying life love like I just don't I never want to be in a box

00:20:04 No one to be uncomfortable with something because then I don't think I would accept it properly

00:20:09 Did you was it ever the time, you know when you come from the hood, right?

00:20:13 We we in the hood people in the hood is big on always when somebody blessing hit

00:20:18 They always believe that that pose had been a blessing or they believe how do you get that blessing and i'm better than him?

00:20:24 Has that ever hit a moment in your career?

00:20:27 Were you seeing people getting deals or get a big movie or get something that you sitting back like, oh i'm i'm funnier than this

00:20:32 I'm funny than that. Was that ever hit you every day?

00:20:36 I think i'm funnier than everybody because I prove it daily being funnier than everybody, you know what i'm saying?

00:20:40 Yeah, and it's it's not it's not even that and people gonna be like, oh whatever

00:20:44 I treat it like basketball like sports like boxing like whatever whatever you want to do to prove it that you are

00:20:48 You got to prove it

00:20:49 But you won't let me go on stage before you because you know what I do and if there's any bit of me

00:20:54 In like this if any bit of my style my anything my arrogance my is if you've taken any of that I won already

00:21:01 I'm, not doing a versus against me

00:21:04 That's like me going against the people that I learned from I would I could never do a versus against cory holcomb

00:21:10 I watched him. I could never do a verse against damon williams. However

00:21:15 Many more minutes. I think I got more than them now

00:21:18 You know what i'm saying? I could never them dudes is like literally like mike epps. I could never

00:21:24 It's impossible, bro

00:21:25 like and but I want people to feel the same way about me like yo, you can't go against d-ray because come on bro, like

00:21:30 Like what I did you you and it's hard to give me credit hard like I got some d-rays

00:21:33 I'm like, oh man, he's so

00:21:36 Asshole, so it is he so it's hard to be like, you know, I mean, it's like that cousin outside like

00:21:40 I taught you out of box when i'm outside

00:21:43 You can't let me go on with you because they like he might fight in here

00:21:45 So I always felt like that for a while

00:21:48 But once you recognize that part of yourself on your own and nobody forcing on you or telling you that

00:21:52 That's what I think made me

00:21:54 To myself how I started viewing myself differently and watching out for my own

00:21:58 type of flaws, but as far as like the whole

00:22:01 I'm supposed to be here. There's nobody on earth

00:22:04 There's nobody you're lying to yourself

00:22:06 If you don't believe that and stop looking at jealousy as such a negative word

00:22:11 It's because the way you say it you jealous if somebody else said to you make sure but if you're jealous

00:22:14 You're not jealous and motivated then you're just sitting in the place

00:22:18 But if you're jealous and motivated like I'm jealous because I should work hard enough to be in this place

00:22:23 We I I am this funny. What am I doing wrong to not be there if I am this great?

00:22:29 They wouldn't they want you there anyway?

00:22:32 I had a girl leaving before and i'll never forget certain statements people said she was leaving and we were riding to the airport

00:22:38 and I was like she was moving from

00:22:40 Moving back home from trying it out with me and I was like, yo, you don't want to I like I know you want to stay

00:22:46 here

00:22:47 I said, I know you want to stay here. We're going to the airport and she said

00:22:50 Don't you think I would have made up an excuse?

00:22:52 If I really want to stay here, don't you think I would have found a reason?

00:22:56 I need my hair did one more time. I really want to stay here

00:23:00 So it's it's that mentality. It's like do I

00:23:03 I I must like it here. You know what i'm saying?

00:23:06 I don't really want to stay here like like either you either if you don't like it you you move on and I

00:23:10 Don't want to stay there no more

00:23:13 I'm tired. I don't want to I have no I have no more excuses like there's no excuse for

00:23:17 I've been a beautiful nigga since birth. I have hands on i'm a hood i'm

00:23:21 Whatever the fuck that swag shit supposed to be and sometimes that puts you in bad positions because you're overconfident

00:23:27 but if you if you weren't in comedy in this one man often sport that we play along that we

00:23:34 Fucking pass the ball to when we get a chance to but for the most part we up down it by ourself

00:23:39 You're not confident then who's gonna cheer you on?

00:23:41 Because y'all won't and most of the time when I was being cocky

00:23:45 sorry, but most time when I was being I was trying to keep myself up because

00:23:48 If I tell myself I tell everybody in this room i'm funny i'm about to rock it

00:23:53 I better do it now and I did it every time i've never said that and then didn't do it, right?

00:23:58 I've been fake, you know fake humble like I don't know how i'm doing tonight after watching this bomb

00:24:02 I'll be like i'm about to tear this bitch down just to

00:24:04 Know the bitches like

00:24:06 Whatever but for the most part

00:24:09 Nah, man, never but you would once again, you would not be human if you can't say just go back to it

00:24:15 I am good. I should be in that place. That's what sports wouldn't be sports if you didn't think you should be in that

00:24:20 What am I doing wrong to not be in that position and there's enough

00:24:23 There's enough room for everybody to but i'm gonna say right

00:24:27 You know

00:24:31 For you to grow up in the conditions that you grew up in, you know, it ain't no secret

00:24:34 Your mom was on drugs. You always put it out there. You know what i'm saying?

00:24:39 To grow up in a position like that and still had a confidence to believe that i'm that

00:24:46 You the real mvp

00:24:49 You feel what i'm saying?

00:24:51 because

00:24:52 The easiest thing would have been to tap out

00:24:54 Man, my back against the wall. God don't love me. I don't nobody love me. My mom on drugs

00:25:00 I might can't get the the clues that everybody else but the easy thing would have been to tap out

00:25:05 F**k it. I'm gonna go ahead be a crash dummy. Ah run up in some way go to jail get killed. Yeah, man. She

00:25:10 I think

00:25:12 This is gonna sound wild man. Well, my mom was probably one of the most confident drug addicts

00:25:18 She's never my mom like she never was like it's a man i'm getting to it now, but you know, um

00:25:27 So I think a lot of that strength bro

00:25:30 Like I just was mad at her for not being stronger than that because I remember the discussion

00:25:34 I don't know if I ever said this on tv nowhere before but I remember her trying to sneak ask me about crack

00:25:39 I already knew that stuff existed. I mean she was like they got this little drug and I remember I remember that

00:25:44 That person was like and I said don't do that shit

00:25:46 I remember that i've been being in the kitchen and saying it like it was quick but it wasn't I didn't curse

00:25:50 I was like no mom like because i'm familiar i'm out and about i'm like she's talking about like sounded

00:25:54 crazy and then

00:25:56 Whatever months later whenever I uh end up seeing it

00:26:01 But she still was like she still got done and there's a such thing as a functioning addict because I I did it with my life

00:26:07 I did it with the loves of my life. I did it with gambling in my life

00:26:10 I did it with gambling about self many nights. You know what i'm saying?

00:26:14 and um

00:26:17 A lot of times we are like I said earlier i'm comfortable in the chaos

00:26:19 But a lot of us are addicted to the chaos and I think that um

00:26:22 Although that was existent. She still had this like you were I was more scared literally still of her like

00:26:29 Than any of the gang shit at the time. I was still worried

00:26:31 she if she locked the door it's crazy like

00:26:34 i'm gonna lock this motherfucking door

00:26:37 I shoot through like all that kind of shit, but she also

00:26:40 No one was like I didn't hear it hear it until I got a little older about the whole like

00:26:46 all the things that was happening because I think I was just kind of

00:26:49 You know what i'm saying like just moving i'm like i'm not going even

00:26:53 You know, I said talk to my my aunt who I love auntie didi

00:26:58 and

00:26:59 One day she just discussed people to me and I wish I'd listened to her then like I can hear it so clear now

00:27:04 it's just like

00:27:05 She's still a person and as a person

00:27:08 You make all these decisions

00:27:10 and you you you you self-sabotage and that's what drugs that that part of it is like wanting to not even be

00:27:18 Here but be here. So I never worried about my mama

00:27:21 Never worried about my mama tapping completely out or taking herself out because once she's too nosy

00:27:27 To die like that. She just she's not the kind of person that wants to kill herself because she's like

00:27:32 Your auntie might get a new you she more worried about me buying

00:27:35 new car

00:27:38 She feel like if she died she'd be like what you're about to do for these bitches

00:27:42 That's a real black

00:27:46 No, she's too nosy to die so I hate I even said that I hope that I don't

00:27:54 get offended or my aunties don't get offended but they know what i'm talking about because that's what we're dealing with lately like it ain't like

00:27:59 I can't go. He gonna buy an idiot car. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

00:28:06 That's crazy

00:28:10 They all raised that boy, oh, I was the only one made that mother daddy wasn't shit but I do all of

00:28:20 My sister would call me son one day my boy was like

00:28:23 But yeah, man, so she wasn't there so I think I think I don't want to um

00:28:39 take away from act like I did everything myself as far as the the confidence part to come out because my

00:28:44 My sister my brothers and my family like oh my sister taught me like the fly shit

00:28:49 She was on me like beef alive pumpkin. No, no, my sister. Ursula pumpkin taught pumpkin taught me not to trust

00:28:55 This is my youngest sister too as far as like trust you got a lot of my fucking laundry

00:28:58 My mama had put it because my she dealt with a lot of my moms because she was younger

00:29:02 She dealt with all of them. So she's out there out there. So

00:29:05 she knew like

00:29:07 Back against the wall with who these is who the new drug dealing is. I'm

00:29:11 You know i'm saying i'm certified i'm in i'm like I ain't worried about nothing like that

00:29:15 she's like, oh, he's a little shooting everybody like so she was the first person in that but all my sisters my brother like they

00:29:20 was like

00:29:20 Building me into this machine dog and I just was able to collect information

00:29:24 and I don't know if that like that's I don't know if people out there in your family could do that, but

00:29:27 I was able and since I can collect information. I was putting the position to power

00:29:32 I felt like it's my responsibility in most cases to help as much as I could like on that level

00:29:37 You know what i'm saying? I'm not i'm not a dumb dude

00:29:38 i'm not gonna be like you call me anytime call boots anytime when we get it done now, but it's it's the

00:29:44 Who needs it more to prioritize and moves up the role of mom dad sister brother people try to put that name over?

00:29:51 The priorities of what people need in their life and ain't how I go

00:29:53 Your brother doing. All right, you all right, man. I don't want to have to worry about you

00:29:56 The actor told me a long time ago. I was like you you never hit me back dog about these i'm trying to learn

00:30:02 about

00:30:04 uh this this it was part of the role he's telling me make three something about acting and how I make I

00:30:09 Adlib a lot as you can tell i'm talking now

00:30:11 I adlib a lot sometimes like sometimes you overdo it but learn how i'm trying to reach him about it like dog before we shoot

00:30:16 again, tell me like yo

00:30:17 You like me dog when I get to me

00:30:19 I'm gonna talk to you. I got so much stuff going on ahead of us

00:30:24 That I thought I had my brother doing this my sister doing that down when I get to us

00:30:28 So that's what I I put that in my life too. Like who needs this shit right now?

00:30:32 Like that becomes your brother that becomes your cousin your mom's role. Your mom is good

00:30:36 She in the she in the how auntie auntie to Luke steps up now. She need a couch. She need then that's how

00:30:41 You keep that balance. Nobody crosses that line

00:30:43 You keep it right here where you got to move people back and forth within our life because all we do is say yes

00:30:48 So as y'all got this shit

00:30:50 Y'all phone was crazy

00:30:52 Uncomfortable cousins like and you the bad part is like I ain't talk to him

00:30:55 But this little bit might help them help them ask for something else

00:30:57 Yep, that's all you did you put that in the car now you could drive to you put them in the house

00:31:02 And I ain't live next door put that i'm telling you

00:31:04 You even

00:31:07 Helper bags or something

00:31:10 Look, look wallow pointed at you. That was the best game

00:31:13 It ain't never enough I did my wallow in the middle of the snow the other day

00:31:20 It's pretty nice to try to try to tag you but I don't want to be too

00:31:22 Too thirsty man posted man. We did uh, I was running it up man. It was cold as hell out there

00:31:27 I was doing it no matter how cold it get. Oh my god. I was freezing out there

00:31:31 I was like he'd be doing these for real too. Yeah, and guess what that was the last one

00:31:34 He'd be doing that shit for real. It snowed a lot the next day and I refuse to go be re-inspired

00:31:39 I ain't even gonna get inspired by my video. I looked at my own video

00:33:17 body armor

00:33:19 now now

00:33:21 you know you

00:33:23 You know, it was a it was a thing a while back

00:33:26 When the young com, you know comedians was coming up on social media not seeing you

00:33:32 But it was like a lot of people was trying to discredit them

00:33:35 And then now you see i'm just doing anything

00:33:37 And it's you know, and and and I see that

00:33:40 I didn't see you on tour with them doing your thing embracing them showing them love

00:33:44 Did you did you did you ever feel anything personally or did you was you hearing the whispers of people

00:33:51 Trying to discredit them. Oh, man, if you don't do a comedy club, you're not a real comedian

00:33:56 That shit on the internet don't mean nothing like, you know, it was it was a big thing and it was like, oh these motherfuckers

00:34:00 They funny this conversation is so

00:34:04 Long and and in depth. It's almost impossible to get it up to to make it in short

00:34:11 Oh, man, responding short initially in watching it. I don't like cheat comedy. I don't do cheat comedy

00:34:17 What is cheat comedy?

00:34:18 She comedy is um, if you've seen comic view and then you'll do a skit to that

00:34:22 That comedian's joke now the new world has never seen that comedian's joke

00:34:26 And here you come to skit and now you make all this money and you don't even shout the guy out

00:34:31 You don't give him no love. You see that happen

00:34:33 Yes, I see that we see I see my my joke is memes all the time when I was

00:34:37 A man, we used to do this thing at riddle's comedy club in chicago

00:34:40 We did this game called snaps with all the comedians talk about each other in the end

00:34:43 So at the end cory hogan was to kill people

00:34:45 He had these jokes that was like kind of like the way rappers rap now he'd do this thing

00:34:49 He'd be like your mom. I see your mama sucking the snowman's dick that bitch a snowblower

00:34:53 And the thought process and I was like, can I battle this with his own style?

00:34:56 And everybody's like damon. I know you can't you can't battle with the same style

00:35:00 So I made a joke and to this day that joke is in the it's in like

00:35:03 This joke was written by d rey davis. Your mama got one eye one leg. They call it. Aha. You've heard it

00:35:08 You've heard it's a kid's book

00:35:11 But nobody accredits me to it. It's in books everywhere

00:35:13 It's everywhere no one but if you find somebody like who wrote it and somebody tried to contest it

00:35:17 Find a nigga that did then because you can't because i'm sitting there telling you

00:35:19 With cory hokum and cory looked at me that night and said I can't believe that bullshit worked. That's his exact words

00:35:25 And when I was telling the story years later, I said we were on stage and I did this joke and cory

00:35:30 Just 10 years later. He goes ah joke. So that's how I know, you know i'm saying it resonates within me

00:35:34 But I get no credit for that joke. That's why I love music

00:35:38 I love that I sat with jay-z and my brother and all my brother's sample said was

00:35:44 Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is hope and jay-z wanted 99 one split

00:35:49 And I liked how that sounded it sounded crazy in the room luda shock everybody like the hell going on

00:35:55 But to me he wanted all of what he felt that was worth

00:36:00 And comics don't get that

00:36:03 Whether joke been retold told before so I felt like at that time it was happening. It was a lot of re

00:36:09 Uh people acting out comedians jokes and so then I started looking more into it. I never thought about that

00:36:15 I started looking more to and start seeing the guys who were just funny and them the guys I respect them

00:36:19 the original guys the dc young flies

00:36:22 um

00:36:23 It'd be simone who grew into it. Just hilarious beast

00:36:26 beast right writer she

00:36:29 listens

00:36:30 The people that that know that's willing to play the game because someone's like switching sports like we'd laugh at people switching sports

00:36:35 I talked to gilly probably years ago

00:36:39 When eric sermon was sending me 50 beats when yay was rapping to me when i'm in miami because john manop had helped me

00:36:45 My my situations, you know, I was just trying to help me then

00:36:49 this boy rapping and i'm like, you know, and and if I tried it, which is

00:36:53 I really get into it now, but the fact how things come full circle is pretty dope. You know what i'm saying? Absolutely and um

00:37:00 Uh, sorry, I got a little excited for a second got excited with vultures, but I got a little excited

00:37:07 He was in his mc bag vultures

00:37:09 um

00:37:11 But I think that I wasn't giving them the opportunities I asked for and um

00:37:15 And that you learn we grow with everything we do. Um in chicago growing up you'd be like, oh that dude's he's

00:37:22 He's gay. He's this and that and you'd be because your brother's nearby then you get around somebody like I don't give a shit about you

00:37:29 Liking me or not. I don't like you either. I like you like that and you'd be like, oh shit you learn we learned right?

00:37:36 Come on, man outside every day women walking down the street from what we're seeing and i'm not gonna say we're not gonna blame shit

00:37:42 On music with someone what we're used to hearing

00:37:44 Hey, bitch. Hey get older. Hey, these women don't play that shit

00:37:49 Why

00:37:53 I've learned something

00:37:55 Now I can act different. That's why I believe in people. I believe in the reform system

00:37:59 That's why I believe in that something that just can't change, but you know what it is

00:38:04 So I feel like it's the same thing with the the new comics the the guys who really want to get into and the people that

00:38:09 Do the research king batch?

00:38:11 Did the research?

00:38:13 Can't be mad I can't be mad. It's the whole I had to walk 20 miles to school in order to learn

00:38:20 That shit I get it because I worked in the basements man at the comedy clubs. I did hair on top

00:38:25 I did I did uh, I did in a salon. I did uh, comedy on a crate in a hair salon. I stood on a crate man

00:38:33 five dollars bro

00:38:35 Dry it's going on

00:38:38 Telling jokes and shit. So when i'm trying yeah, man, I did I did one show the dude I drove all the way to haydai, missouri

00:38:44 six hours

00:38:46 For 200 dollars, though

00:38:47 These are the things comedians like you ain't do that

00:38:49 So I get that part of it's like and then and they had to stop dancing to bring me on stage

00:43:08 So my grandfather's sitting I bring him this dvd player and a dvd and he's sitting he's like, I don't know

00:43:11 What did I say? He got the little dvds like I don't I don't want to watch this. I don't I don't

00:43:15 It's gonna scratch. It's gonna whatever he's finding reasons not to i'm trying to convince him

00:43:19 It's like a record player whatever I can say to make him look at it finally put it in he watched it

00:43:23 He likes it, but he's finding reasons not to like it still like it's the same movie, but it's this

00:43:28 One day I bought him over there

00:43:30 a dvd with five movies on one dvd player

00:43:33 Fucked him up

00:43:35 That's what they did like first. I was like, oh, I don't know about the internet guys

00:43:40 Then they start dropping out the sky and doing magic shit on there and i'm like how the fuck did he?

00:43:46 How the fuck did he change clothes with him? Then you start being like oh then will smith said you know what?

00:43:51 I'm gonna get in this shit and that's when he's like, all right. Okay, we gotta

00:43:55 Will smith come on

00:44:08 But me I always was a part of all the social social media. Yeah, you're back from my space

00:44:14 You know what? I mean? I was always was on there. Yeah, you're like look duval

00:44:18 Little duval got whatever's new he got it that he moved like an old man

00:44:22 Like he moved this if you talk to him, it's it's like a no like but he got everything new the goggles

00:44:28 The boat he had that thing whatever the thing be on the water you'd be floating in there

00:44:34 That kid got everything man, yeah, I fuck with duval. Yes, we do now now right now

00:44:39 Who you really feeling that came up through the internet the younger cats

00:44:45 Who you feeling the ones i'm on tour with um dc, of course proved itself

00:44:51 mojo

00:44:54 Mojo mojo's funny. He is a nut mojo's funny, man

00:44:58 If you that's it the people naming them I could eat but I don't want them somebody might name somebody you don't think

00:45:04 Oh shit, I don't don't say that name but um for the most part I think

00:45:08 I haven't got a chance to see some of the people that people saying like some of the people I haven't seen

00:45:13 Desi without a doubt desi's funny today, but desi I I felt like they were always I felt like they were in comedy

00:45:20 and they were like

00:45:22 Let me do something else too, right like like, uh

00:45:25 country wane like I think all those guys were like

00:45:28 Sitting in like, you know already into the comedy game and a lot of these guys shout out to them. They introduce new business models

00:45:35 easily new ways to get this paper, you know, and it's like

00:45:39 You got to salute them because they added stuff to even the legends could do

00:45:42 They get some more money and revenue streams that wasn't even there outside of just going into a club

00:45:47 they show you how to make money on instagram and twitter and this and

00:45:51 Twitch and they show you all types of ways, you know, yeah, and I'm sorry

00:45:58 I truly believe that the

00:46:00 the best model for anything whether it's comedians the rappers

00:46:04 no matter basketball players the

00:46:07 I always think the best formula is for the older guys to take the approach of that

00:46:13 I don't want to compete with you. I want to eat with you

00:46:16 you know what I mean because

00:46:18 10 times out of 10 the young is be looking up to the old heads

00:46:24 Yeah, and they be respecting the old heads. It'd be the old heads that be fighting the bond up between them and the young

00:46:32 Because the young has have no reason to hate on the old heads y'all came before a time that was before me

00:46:38 I'm not competing against you. If anything I got an issue with my peers

00:46:43 The because I compete against i'm not competing against you. Oh gee, I respect you. I love you

00:46:49 But then the ogs don't show the same love and respect down and that's what make the young like man

00:46:55 Fuck them old niggas, man

00:46:56 I but when you are og and you take the approach it no enough you I love what you got going on with this shit

00:47:02 You remind me of myself you

00:47:05 I don't want to compete with you. I want to eat with you. They always gonna be like let's go og. I fuck with you because

00:47:11 You yeah

00:47:13 But you gotta you also have to see because letting everybody be an open arms to everybody and and you do we do have

00:47:18 This wall up you do have this this uh

00:47:20 Let's put it. Let's put it like this the gatekeepers as they say and i've been loving how this has been feeling man

00:47:27 It's all about the gatekeepers

00:47:30 We are all we are all gatekeepers of our of our own comfort

00:47:35 We do it all the time

00:47:38 So if somebody on a bigger scale do it to you feel uncomfortable

00:47:40 But you do it all the time. This is our gate. My my monday raise night is my night my show and I want to be

00:47:47 comfortable there

00:47:49 Kevin hart does

00:47:50 Million movies and the reason he puts the people in the movies

00:47:52 He wants to work with during that time because whatever situation he had with them prior to that and this dude was one of my

00:47:56 Best me and kevin ain't no movie together, but I know

00:47:58 How I made people feel

00:48:00 At that moment. I can't expect you just open your door. That is your gate to keep that is your your place of comfort

00:48:06 That's your bed

00:48:08 That's and when you are comfortable to let somebody into your yard before you let them into your home

00:48:12 That's what everything is. So just because somebody has this that we all sit we all sit and rest in that that's one

00:48:18 So i'm not knocking them them saying hey i'm gonna take my time before I just let this person come into this world

00:48:26 We've worked and created because sometimes people come in and pull the wrong jang out

00:48:29 And it's a clear way to win and they you're like, oh man, I wasn't expecting that. You know what i'm saying?

00:48:34 but as far as the like

00:48:37 Opening the door and in teaching I believe in that I believe you think somebody could learn and be better you'd be like

00:48:42 Oh, bro. I saw what you did. You rocking that shit

00:48:44 Don't forget about that or hey, man. I seen you said you ain't know who wu-tang was

00:48:49 bro

00:48:50 Can you please do me a favor?

00:48:52 It's just we're not you we're so aggressive for what we have to fight for

00:48:55 We don't know the next generation don't have to fight as hard. So we we're coming like we're already like yo, yo

00:48:59 He did my equipment and your boy come through the door. Yo, I just heard your beat on what shorty got done done

00:49:05 What?

00:49:06 Nobody called me. I ain't know what's your beat. I heard when I was little I was four. What?

00:49:11 Your brother didn't tell you no, i'm talking to my brother dad

00:49:15 Oh shit. Well, it's my beat. They'll tell you people get at me

00:49:19 All right, they get at you tell you people get at me. I didn't get at me. Hey. Oh, hey. Hey, hello. Hey little mama

00:49:24 Oh, hey, what's up? Oh, what's up?

00:49:26 Hey

00:49:29 You told me yesterday

00:49:31 I got hot. Mm-hmm

00:49:34 You know i'm saying it's that so i'm saying I know I just told a lot but at the end of the day

00:49:38 It's it's difficult

00:49:40 When it comes if you're not getting information correctly

00:49:42 We already been fucked over by a lot of the people that control a lot of our shit

00:49:45 That's that's just the truth hard to get our own shit

00:49:49 Fighting for our shit. That's clearly my voice clearly my shit because I didn't know what I was signing at the time

00:49:55 It's already that

00:49:57 So now you gotta fight

00:49:58 so you're only liaison to get

00:50:00 At that person to be upset with them is to be like just talk to them like you because you can't talk to the boss

00:50:04 Man, so it's like let me talk to you. You know what i'm saying? So it may come off like that

00:50:07 As far as creativity goes you're absolutely right people come through the door some shit. I know my fucking heard some mother

00:50:13 Some but a lot of the young dudes do call you old without doing research first

00:50:19 like literally I if I say one thing about a comedian his dude was clearly just

00:50:24 his mother says him he was doing my skit as a

00:50:28 As a as a jim one of my jokes as a skit. I said, hey, bro, you gotta get at me man. Holla at me, man

00:50:32 I ain't know i'm saying like regardless of how you do it dm one time something

00:50:36 It's my whole that's my mom. Just let the young people know

00:50:40 No, because you're not teaching them that i'm trying to tell you something something

00:50:44 You don't know about something you don't know about you're supposed to teach them and that's something else

00:50:47 We don't fucking do as black people. My daughters are funny. They're gonna be funny

00:50:50 They don't have to don't have to be their job, but they didn't they need to know it

00:50:52 White people always pass their jobs down. You know what you do

00:50:56 Yeah, I see what you want to do and that's great. But you're gonna be a welder first, too

00:51:00 You're gonna change this oil. You're gonna know how to fix this house. We don't do that

00:51:04 Oh, look at look at look at his leg. He can dance. He gonna dance that

00:51:08 You know what i'm saying?

00:51:09 No your whole life you didn't put carburetors in you could do it with your blind but you want him

00:51:13 Lit he gonna dance. No, he gonna do this carburetor and he gonna dance same time

00:51:17 It's just so you can have that because I we need to pass down that knowledge to and I think a lot of that

00:51:21 Is not

00:51:22 given to the youth

00:51:24 When we when we're telling them why we're mad

00:51:26 Why are you like, you know, we see we've seen recently like

00:51:30 old rapper young rapper and it's like

00:51:33 I'm not gonna listen to you, especially when you got

00:51:36 It got to be how are you delivering information?

00:51:39 So that's all but you're right as far as opening the door letting letting young people in letting them

00:51:44 But you got to teach why it's happening. Otherwise

00:51:47 The comedy the comedy game itself does so you got it

00:51:52 There's there's that book you have to definitely say the the points the three steps of comedy the three like the beats and how you know

00:51:57 Writing and it's your joke and your material and being creative and what can sound similar to someone

00:52:02 So that's important too, but I understand you said the gatekeepers they gatekeeping of you know, what their own piece

00:52:08 But at the end of the day man

00:52:12 if

00:52:15 I'm i'm somebody that come from the ghetto, right? Okay

00:52:21 Just i'm not speaking on kevin hart but just say kevin hart for example

00:52:25 He came from erie avenue from me from the ghetto somebody like that, you know what I mean?

00:52:30 And then you get to be

00:52:32 You know

00:52:33 Big you get to be huge you get to be this person

00:52:36 you know

00:52:38 for me if

00:52:40 I see somebody that's up and coming

00:52:43 All I gotta do is think they funny

00:52:49 It's I don't give a fuck I want to get to what we're trying not to get into is what makes people

00:52:53 uh

00:52:55 We're talking about early about good jealousy. I know what you mean though because I do I like I said earlier we discuss in improv

00:53:00 Sometimes I don't even know if they're gonna be funny. I can see potential in people

00:53:04 I work a room where people come work and they just get into hollywood

00:53:07 I often have led people on who they wouldn't even see because when I first got to the improv

00:53:11 They wouldn't let me go on stage. They're trying to pay the promoter some chicago dudes now and I told him i'm

00:53:17 You have no idea who you're not letting go on stage when I first went and hosted it

00:53:22 I was supposed to host one time. I got 10 000 flowers made and put them everywhere

00:53:25 I ain't gonna get rid of me now. They could have like burned the flowers. It's like he's serious about being here

00:53:30 Right. So open the doors I get i'm saying as far as people calling somebody a gatekeeper

00:53:35 From your position you also know how to wrangle and handle

00:53:39 People coming at you who act like you you see him when he go talk to them people

00:53:43 You're not worried when he go. He's a line amongst lions. You you're lying amongst lions

00:53:47 So our gate the the people we do allow and i'm saying they still are comfort though still like yo homie like that

00:53:54 But the mother that make you i'm talking about the nigga that came with the nigga that's sitting in the back. You can't

00:53:58 Of course, it's gonna be up to it's gonna be up to me

00:54:01 if I want to help that person or not because

00:54:04 Some of us we help and y'all know, you know this man, you know, you know

00:54:08 And i'm being potential like just talented. I mean could make it out could be all right

00:54:11 It could be a manager somewhere could be show them away, right?

00:54:14 but man, you've opened you sometimes you open that gate and

00:54:18 Without you ain't there carding

00:54:21 You've moved so far in the house. It ain't even you opening the gate no more

00:54:26 But so but see for me sometimes you open the gate, right?

00:54:29 Okay, that person might don't work. That's a part of life

00:54:33 So that mean because you you try to give a person an opportunity and it didn't work

00:54:38 Now you go further and further and further away from giving my opportunity that don't make no sense to me

00:54:44 Well, let me because if i'm just saying if god put me in a position, right? Yeah to be able to put some

00:54:50 On yeah

00:54:53 That's the position I gotta play I gotta put my

00:54:56 That's just how I think

00:54:59 I have no choice in my life but to do that because of me being a host everybody i'm around if you talk to any

00:55:04 Comedian every time you interview who talked to me. They're gonna say well how to talk to d-ray. I don't give nothing but

00:55:09 Nothing but advice nothing but trying to understand them, right?

00:55:13 This I but that's our superpower and we're able to some people can't handle them people

00:55:18 so them people mad at the wrong people people are choosing people are like groceries, man, you're trying to stick a a

00:55:23 A freezer in the month and fresh produce

00:55:27 That dude don't that dude ain't gonna hear your conversation, right? Some people need translators

00:55:32 I got a I got a homie that we all know that's a brilliant genius music and everything but

00:55:36 Sometimes we need a translator because some of the things that get said

00:55:40 Be probably what he meant but and it's said in a different way changing a few words around it

00:55:45 It makes sense and those some of them big gatekeepers can't hear you

00:55:48 So we in our position is next to be like yo, because I dog we were talking about it

00:55:52 Dog, we were talking about it who I am and all i've done and all i've been in and all i've helped

00:55:57 If I was to be upset about it, you know what I mean, man

00:56:01 But I refuse to believe somebody's not somebody's able to stop me

00:56:04 from

00:56:06 One guy i've always had a gate

00:56:08 Even when I had the rest of the fence, right?

00:56:10 To myself I always have my own motherfucking like but I understand and the people that's able to accept you to john singleton's of the world

00:56:18 When john was like d-ray, I know how he get I know how he is. I still want him on set

00:56:22 no matter if anybody else feel

00:56:25 Like he might he might

00:56:27 Come on

00:56:28 What what?

00:56:30 lena waithe

00:56:32 It was a conversation. It was nothing. She was like, yeah, I know you old young looking. She was able to

00:56:36 Some comedians I say something about and they get upset

00:56:39 but then you got the names of the world who will call me and be like like

00:56:43 Um, you finally lost weight your fat, you know what i'm saying?

00:56:46 And i'm like he can handle me, you know what i'm saying?

00:56:49 We can sit here and handle each other sometimes it's just about that

00:56:51 But I know what you mean you can handle in your case. I'm up can't so they like they rather not

00:56:55 Because i'm all about opportunity

00:56:58 So if I let you in the gate and you fuck up, all right get him out the gate

00:57:01 But that's not going that's not going to have me like oh

00:57:05 I ain't letting nobody else in the gate because I get yeah

00:57:08 Yeah, they don't have a shot and he was a dickhead. No, he was a kid. I thought he was ready. He wasn't ready

00:57:15 Okay, come on now i'ma give you a shot. Okay, come like you gotta but you know

00:57:18 We don't we also also have the thing you're talking about man. We also have a it's not in an abundance

00:57:24 That many of us have graduated to greatness to even put ourself in a position to help everybody

00:57:27 So that's one the people that you are helping because them other people do it all the time you watch one of them movies

00:57:32 They got caps. Excuse me. They got cameo after cameo

00:57:35 a movie star a superstar

00:57:38 Other guy would be in a ben stiller movie dog just for a day. When do we when you see us doing that?

00:57:45 Absolutely, maybe somebody because i'm gonna tell you who I am whether somebody

00:57:48 Call me or not real talk. I booked you

00:57:52 I booked all these niggas man that we getting into we be in a real conversation. I've booked everybody. I paid everybody

00:57:58 I booked everybody comedians have never as funny as I the world want to say I am let's say I don't even think it's me

00:58:03 No, I rarely get phone calls with people saying d-ray

00:58:06 I'm put you on the show and every time I accidentally be like because you're already good. I booked all these I paid everybody

00:58:12 Thousand dollars I paid
