00:00:27 Yes, i'm talking about this dude is a legend man. Yes made all of us laugh
00:00:30 But he's a part of all of our households, you know how they go man
00:00:33 The one the only cedric the entertainer man, yes been in the game for years just you know all around how many years total?
00:00:39 Uh, we we're approaching 40 man. I started 87. So what was that?
00:00:45 So I can't really do that kind of math. You see i'm trying to play it off. Let's just do three
00:00:50 So that's 97
00:00:54 2017 that's a long time. That's like that's like 30. It's a long time plus man
00:01:00 so yeah, that's and I started in st. Louis at the
00:01:04 at the
00:01:06 Funny bone at the comedy club
00:01:07 So, you know that was like that was the only way you can get started back then was like white comedy clubs
00:01:12 And then black comedy started to make a real rise. We had you know, like the robert townsend's did those comedy specials and then
00:01:20 Then the way brothers started to show up and then that's how we started to really identify
00:01:24 Mainly as black comedians, but it used to be black comedy in white clubs
00:01:29 It was that was major because you know, it's funny
00:01:32 You say that because a lot of people don't even speak about 11 color these days the waynes brothers and that was the that was the shit
00:01:39 That was that would 11 colors
00:01:42 Introduced so many people to the game and you know from jim. Carey or jamie
00:01:47 Uh, tommy davidson, one of the funniest he's uh, you know, and you know, and it's
00:01:52 Yeah dance it changed the game and then it was just like they had the artists come through that was like the
00:01:58 You know what? That was like that was like the comic soul train
00:02:02 You remember how so yeah, but the artists come and perform at the end on there too. So that was the artist run
00:02:06 11 colors was anything and then def comedy jam was just like
00:02:10 Well, def jam was the one like again for especially for my generation. That was the one I mean we had
00:02:15 uh
00:02:17 A showtime the apollo which was like always the games the og right and then but then um, you know
00:02:24 Hbo just came on like the pretty new girl to show up at the club
00:02:28 So when they and it was hbo, but then so then when they did def jam that was the place to go
00:02:33 And it was just more households
00:02:35 younger more vibration, uh, the comedy was no longer like necessarily had to fit in a box, you know, we didn't have to
00:02:43 You know like, you know again you do comedy club comedy you have to do setup
00:02:47 Joke, you know punchline
00:02:49 You do it with a formula, you know black comedy walk up
00:02:53 Yeah
00:02:56 And you know, they weren't used to that kind of comedy so
00:02:59 That that allowed us to be free as comedians and just not have to like do it by any kind of formation
00:03:06 and so then you just start seeing the you know me bernie max, you know, the
00:03:10 Martins, of course who was hosting at that time?
00:03:13 But just you know, chris tucker's everybody started to come out of that camp. That was the one when where people got famous like black
00:03:19 Yeah, it was jumping. Yeah, that was the first time I think we seen it outside of the raw deliriouses
00:03:24 Well, we seen a bunch of our comics in one place and sometimes it'd be people that was rangers and that we never even knew
00:03:31 About was like oh, oh, yeah. What the who is this? We had no exposure to them
00:03:35 so, I mean, you know now you got of course you got you know, the
00:03:39 Social social and all that but back then this was your first time having exposure to somebody that live in, you know
00:03:45 Nashville or you know only do comedy in new york or atlanta atlanta. Yeah, they was turning them out out of atlanta
00:03:52 It was like a whole
00:03:53 Group of beast of comedians coming out of there and chicago. So so, you know, and then st louis me joe tori gatori
00:04:00 lavelle crawford
00:04:03 It was a lot of people started to pop about the lou at that time. Well all y'all from st. Louis

00:05:58 Like, you know you're doing your thing coming up barely being seen did you think it would get this big
00:06:02 Man, you know, I mean I always had that kind of thing. I grew up in a you know, single-parent household
00:06:08 My mother was a school teacher
00:06:10 And you know, I always had ambitions to be somebody, you know, like we you know, it's either
00:06:16 Entrepreneurial kind of energy or something like that. I was always trying to figure out like, you know
00:06:21 You you're the only man in the house. I got a younger sister and I got my mom
00:06:24 So you trying to figure out how you provide and how you gonna you thinking like that at a young age like, you know
00:06:29 So I always had like that kind of hustlery kind of thought but because my mother was a school teacher
00:06:34 I also had to go to college like it was her
00:06:36 Thing for us to be educated. So I went to college
00:06:40 And but probably since I was in high school, I knew that I could entertain
00:06:44 but you know
00:06:46 That was that wasn't a path for her like, you know for my mom
00:06:49 She ain't believing that like you got to go and get a degree and you're gonna get a job
00:06:54 so I did that I worked I worked for State Farm for like, uh,
00:06:57 Maybe six years like as a claims adjuster and then damn
00:07:01 Then discovered I could do comedy and then that was it man. So he looked
00:07:05 Let me find out back in uh, 90 40 had him popping up in the commercials like a good neighbor
00:07:10 I bet y'all young jake. I was young jake with the damn
00:07:14 No, but that's that's so true though, I mean, you know, and then you know, they would hire you in the hood because I you know
00:07:23 I was bilingual. I spoke
00:07:24 You know regular english and angry negro, you know
00:07:28 You know
00:07:31 Yeah
00:07:42 Especially in st. Louis, they got that accent on that right here
00:07:46 And I was really good at it because I was doing my comedy at night, you know saying we'd be up
00:08:02 Kicking it. I I leave people in rental cars for two three months. They be get them
00:08:10 They got an og jordan, I put you in a new riddle like
00:08:13 Don't let something new come out like when the 300s came out
00:08:21 Oh, everybody was trying to get one of them. It was a new bentley wasn't it?
00:08:24 That was the hood bentley. I wouldn't do it. It did but but I could imagine you can imagine he'd have been blessing the whole
00:08:30 Everybody come down here
00:08:32 You know, we got the 300s
00:08:35 You can go over there and get them 300s
00:08:37 People's coming in there trying to get them for prom. She's just acting thinking like they had accident. Yeah
00:08:41 Yeah, no
00:08:43 No
00:08:44 I mean how many uh movies you've been in?
00:08:46 Oh, man, I probably you know, i'm gonna go over 40. It's probably a little bit more than that, but you know
00:08:53 Different little pops, you know, and then I had a nice run there in like mid 2000 early 2000s
00:09:00 where I was starring in a lot of movies and then
00:09:04 And then and then we hit that little uh, then we hit that little skid where my kids started to grow up
00:09:08 Where I wanted to be more at home because all the movies were nobody's shooting movies in la at that time
00:09:14 So I was in ireland. I was in canada
00:09:17 We was like so then my kids they used to be little when they could come but then they start getting their own schedule
00:09:22 So yeah television started to be the better move where I can be at home. So that was right. I think I so
00:09:28 And then I would just pop in movies after that
00:09:30 But when you when you do it movies only you could just be busy like, you know
00:09:34 so that was like like so that was like the early 2000s to maybe like
00:09:39 2006-7
00:09:41 So when there and then I switched to tv, would you would you love more the stage tv or movies?
00:09:46 You know what? I like them all man. That's the thing about me. I mean, I really do love to entertain thing about the stages
00:09:53 It's the freest one, you know
00:09:55 That's the one where you walk up and it's just you you get to say whatever you got to say
00:09:59 You don't necessarily I know other producers or people around where you got them, you know
00:10:03 It kind of adhere to what it is that they talking about and then but you know to create a character like in barbershop
00:10:10 that's that's that's a that's a great thing to be able to do like take that and take that old man and bring him to
00:10:17 Life and just literally just once I go on set I become a whole nother person
00:10:21 Like that's that's fun to do and i've done that's what you get to do in movies the johnson family movie and uh,
00:10:28 Roscoe jenkins all these characters you get to play and tv is kind of the same way
00:10:33 It's a little longer form, but but you know, you stop and go on television
00:10:37 So but but I like them. I like them both man. I like all of them
00:10:40 I mean, that's my thing. I did broadway too, which was the hardest. That's you know, that's the hardest
00:10:45 Because broadway is the only one where it really truly is about the writer like the the writer whatever's written
00:10:53 in a in a um in a play
00:10:56 Is what you gotta say you cannot
00:10:58 Vary so all this idea of like as comedians. We got this natural ability to be like, all right, cool
00:11:05 If I think of something funnier you can go like hey, can I say my line?
00:11:08 They'll be like cool do it, you know, but in a play you can't do that and a lot of times in a movie
00:11:12 The the director wants you to say, you know his lines and what's in it
00:11:17 Then a lot of times after that they let you yeah, they let you do you
00:11:20 Yeah, so you just you just stay in the form
00:11:23 But you say it in a way you would say it a lot of times that should be the shit that make the movies
00:11:28 Not that shit the director wrote down
00:11:30 Yeah, no, that's real and that's that's the I mean, that's that's that's the hardest thing about doing broadway. Plus it's
00:11:36 It's go like once they say go you literally on the tightrope like, you know, don't
00:11:42 There ain't no stopping star and you know, like on a movie if you're shooting a movie if you mess up
00:11:47 They'll stop and give you another you know, give you another take
00:11:51 But once on you know when them curtains come up on broadway, it's it's kind of like stand-up too
00:11:55 But it's stand-up. Don't nobody really know if you mess up like you up a joke then you just want to just kind of like just
00:12:01 Like yo, you can even say it. I got that joke up and everybody like that's funny
00:12:06 Yeah, you just keep going but if you mess up on a play
00:12:09 Then you just know you're through the whole damn right? The lady just came on the grasses is growing. You forgot your line
00:12:16 What play is that?
00:12:20 He just made it
00:12:22 But you stuck like what the fuck was my line
00:12:24 If you're a comedian, you can have lips. The bitches is hoeing
00:12:28 You know, you don't even know you know you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
00:12:33 You just bust out laughing you do that doing the place. She like that one the fucking line. Yeah
00:12:38 And you can throw the whole thing off. You feel the whole thing
00:12:41 That's crazy. It is one of the best ways to become an actor though
00:12:47 So you see all the great actors denzel and sam jackson all them. They all did theater though
00:12:53 You know what i'm saying?
00:12:54 So it was one of the things I would try again
00:12:56 I definitely would want to go back and do it again like because of that like you get older
00:13:01 I was like no you want to be more like
00:13:03 Yeah, I mean, you know, you could always be a comedian
00:13:06 but you know, I think like you get older like you think people had them long careers like
00:13:11 Like morgan freeman them and sam and they just danny glover them. They just always be in movies
00:13:17 Just always og'd about it
00:13:19 So, you know like after a while comedy is like I guess can't feel like rap like where you feel like
00:13:25 Did you get too old to be?
00:13:27 Up here talking about this or whatever right, you know, but you know, I mean we had old comedians
00:13:32 So comedians go through that shit, too
00:13:34 I mean you go you go to a point because comedy is a young man sport in a lot of ways like it is this idea
00:13:40 like you always go, you know, you can always be funny and creative but
00:13:44 the idea like keeping up with the joneses like keeping up with the the energy of
00:13:48 touring and what it takes to be like that that kind of comedian is
00:13:53 Calling the young man sport, but we ain't all got older where we are
00:13:57 We know like my guys me dl. We all still love it
00:14:01 So it's definitely unchanged from when I when I when I was coming up
00:14:06 You'll see people gonna get once they get a tv show or big movies
00:14:10 They don't do comedy no more like like like eddie down like when they got rich
00:14:14 They'd be like, all right, we don't we we aged out of it, right?
00:14:17 You kind of don't do it and then people come don't mean they don't love it. They just does
00:14:21 Just don't do it no more, right, you know, so
00:14:24 But you don't you know, but being a comedian ain't that the hardest part being on stage all by yourself?
00:14:32 Oh for sure dog, I would say I would definitely say that's one of the hardest disciplines out of all of them because you got your
00:14:39 Commentary what it is that you know that audience is out there
00:14:43 They a group of wild horses then came in from all kinds of places people been drinking smoking people on pills
00:14:49 You don't know what the hell everybody on right dude is white
00:14:52 They arguing and they sit down the lights go off now
00:14:55 You got to go and take that mug and just ride that bitch, right?
00:14:58 You gotta take it and then glass. Oh it all in and in one little thing, you know
00:15:04 You get off track somebody with a heckler throw the room off next, you know, everybody over here talking
00:15:10 Next thing, you know, you just being lost the room man. That's a wild
00:15:13 That's a that's the wildest part of that job up there is making sure like you go up
00:15:17 And you kind of grab that audience and put them on to your side and then hopefully for our
00:15:23 Take them on the journey, you know, I mean, you know, so that's the that's the gig right there
00:15:27 So let me ask you a question. I mean, this is a two-part question, right?
00:15:30 This is for the youth for the younger comedians that's coming up
00:15:33 Have you ever been in a show and lost a room? Oh, yeah, and then had to get that mother back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man
00:15:40 You know, I mean any comic till you ain't they ain't never bombed
00:15:44 I can't say they really be up there doing that shit because it is a it's a it to your point
00:15:50 It's a tough job dog
00:15:52 Like it's not it's not an easy gig to go up and make sure now once you get famous
00:15:57 And people kind of love you for what you are
00:15:59 You do get that that kind of level of respect like when people gonna be like, all right
00:16:03 Maybe that wasn't your night, but I remember I had to give people their money back one time
00:16:19 I was like damn, you know, this was my night was off. I'm, sorry everybody, you know, uh,
00:16:24 You know anybody want their money back, you know, uh, you know, you know, you can't say that
00:16:28 He was here
00:16:31 Like, you know a little little under a hundred in this little room when I was first starting so
00:16:38 But I mean everybody lined back up man. I probably had to give most of it back. They're like
00:16:43 It was one of them nights man. Just took a l bro. You go to the best super bowl game in the world

00:18:55 mango rx.com
00:18:57 Right, but that was that was a tough one though, but they're definitely like corporate gigs, you know
00:19:02 I always say like you did I remember I did a big new york dick gig and that's always intimidating too
00:19:08 Like when you switch your audience like a lot of white executives trying to do it for the tv
00:19:13 trying to you know
00:19:15 Convince somebody that you deserve this this hit right and you switch up like I switched up I did
00:19:21 You know, I kind of switched up my material trying to fit them
00:19:25 and
00:19:26 Took the l you know me and so then
00:19:29 That was that's probably one of the greatest lessons right there because that's when
00:19:33 Steve harvey was at that show. He just came up and just like yo, man, don't ever do that. Don't
00:19:38 Don't try to make them
00:19:40 Just be yourself and if they come over to you cool if you lose that way then that's all right
00:19:45 but don't try to
00:19:46 you know, like, you know, you're in a room full of like white executives and you try to switch up the style and
00:19:51 Hey guys, you know make them like you you're like don't do that shit
00:19:55 Yeah, but that was that's one of them young comic lessons too because you you trying to win you trying to get on the television
00:20:01 You trying to get the the big deal with the abcs of the world and you think that's what they want, you know
00:20:07 Yeah, and that's a lesson to the youth when uh,
00:20:10 When white people getting in in the business with black people
00:20:14 On a comedian on the rap and on the they got in business with you because they want to be in business
00:20:20 But they don't want to be in business with a black man acting like a white man
00:20:23 Yeah, yeah
00:20:25 They got they they what intrigued them was the motherfucker that they seen on youtube or on tv or at a live show or
00:20:32 So always remember that be you man
00:20:36 Don't never conform to what you think somebody want to see or what you think somebody want to hear
00:20:41 It's never gonna work for you. So I want to ask you this though coming in the game. Yeah
00:20:46 Who was somebody that gave you like the best advice?
00:20:50 That you that you to this day you hold on to that shit
00:20:54 I mean, you know
00:20:57 I mean, I mean probably that was one steve harvey was one right there bernie mac was another one
00:21:02 I had some really great mentors, you know, uh, I remember b-mack, you know, I did new york
00:21:08 We was doing death jam for the first time and so he was just like look man, you know, you can get it
00:21:13 You can get up here and let this audience make they can make you feel like they better than you
00:21:19 And you gotta remember you the one with the microphone
00:21:22 You the one telling the jokes because we'll give a lot of you know, like you when you get intimidated
00:21:27 You'll give somebody else the credit right? He'll be like, oh, they new york. They stay here
00:21:32 They sharper. They know more things, you know, boom boom when you just kind of he's like
00:21:37 So that's the really the show where that's the show
00:21:39 He gave me that advice and then went up and did the i ain't scared of you motherfucking show
00:21:43 And then became famous just that was a legendary
00:21:47 Basically what he had told me at lunch earlier that same day like don't let them scare you man
00:21:52 So this is the same attitude like, you know
00:21:55 Really taking that and realizing like again once you get once you got that mic man
00:22:00 Once you walking out on that stage, you just got to believe in yourself. You can't necessarily be
00:22:05 intimidated by even the next comedian or whoever somebody say funnier or
00:22:10 Whatever that don't matter like none of that matter until you just up there doing your thing
00:22:14 and then of course, um, then my mom's I always say my mom's just really just told me about
00:22:20 It applied to so many things, but it was like your name
00:22:25 Your name is your credit like so basically your name walks in the room and stays in the room long before you leave
00:22:31 So if somebody say your name, what do they think like instantly like that's a response, right?
00:22:36 That's that's you not even being there like and then and if you're there and you leave the same thing the same thing exists
00:22:43 So what do you what do you leave people with that's credit so you can have good credit or bad credit people can know
00:22:50 Exactly when they hear your name what they feel they do they feel something good or they feel like ah, this blah blah blah, right?
00:22:56 That's that's really real and you got to think about taking that through life
00:23:00 So I I really I really appreciate them to them little sound pieces of advice pretty much on everything
00:23:06 Let me ask you a question. They said get the girls growing up because i'm he'll tell you i'm an ugly nigga said right?
00:23:11 Yeah, but you but I always got the girl because I never gave a fuck. Yeah, and if you can make a chick laugh
00:23:18 You can get you some ass. Yeah. Yeah, that's the one thing I always do get the t-shirt
00:23:22 You can make a chick laugh. You can get you some ass
00:23:24 That's real though, you know and I definitely was that like I mean, you know mom
00:23:36 I was always a dresser too. Like mom, you know my mom we lived in a small town at first before we lived in st
00:23:42 Louis we lived in carusoville, missouri shout out carusoville
00:23:45 Small town in in the boot hill part of missouri
00:23:48 But my mother was one of the people that she knew how to order from magazines
00:23:52 Okay stuff that people didn't do in those small towns. So we always had swag
00:23:56 So even you know, even being dark and dark skin wasn't no back then that wasn't even a thing, right?
00:24:02 Oh, no, that came in a style. Yeah, like jordan like no after uh, nino brown pistol whipped all the light skin
00:24:10 Oh, yeah
00:24:12 87
00:24:28 88 86 all the 60s the 50s
00:24:30 The ones nino pistol with them
00:24:33 They wanted a dark skin
00:24:37 82 g money girl
00:24:39 No, but no definitely I was definitely I definitely would you know had you know beautiful girlfriends like always
00:24:47 Surprised people but a lot of ways funny had a little swagger very confident
00:24:52 Never never really was intimidated by you know, not being noted the tall good-looking or whatever
00:24:59 That didn't that didn't really bother me. So I you know, I used what I had to get what I could
00:25:04 Don't work out. Absolutely. He worked out. You make a chick laugh. You can get your mask
00:25:09 now
00:25:12 You know, I always wonder like because i've seen in the camp in a comedy game. It was different generations
00:25:17 Right. Yeah, but did did y'all have like access to like eddie and them because I never seen eddie with nobody
00:25:23 I always see eddie only like the movies and you never see nobody around him like
00:25:26 And because I know when y'all came it was it was you know, it was like eddie and them before y'all. Yeah
00:25:31 Eddie martin martin, you know, but martin came from the same school as you. Yeah, but he just
00:25:36 Little, you know that you know, like i've been a freshman martin was a senior
00:25:40 You're in high school the same time, but you know
00:25:43 But he definitely was on his on his own trajectory at that point for sure
00:25:47 But eddie was definitely was eddie was mega star like before
00:25:51 Before like that dev jam era peep everybody that was kind of a big star was their own mega star
00:25:59 So you got to think about richard pryor. Uh, you know
00:26:02 red fox later ogs bill cosby, of course back then, um, you know pre coffee, you know, so then uh, and then uh,
00:26:12 uh
00:26:13 the wayans
00:26:14 you know, they they they all they all had their own lanes and then and then like then we kind of came in with a
00:26:20 large class of comedy that kind of
00:26:22 Oh was all together
00:26:24 But no, you know eddie you didn't get you didn't get you didn't get to be around eddie until you became somebody, you know again
00:26:30 He was uh, he was our superstar. He was that dude that you yeah that set the mark, you know
00:26:35 You want to be like ed you know, he movies tv
00:26:38 Comedy everything everything money. He was like he was breaking a lot of
00:26:43 A lot of barriers that people hadn't even never done before in comedy the big
00:26:47 Arena tours like when nobody doing that before not black, you know, I mean
00:26:52 So he was going around like doing arenas like you like whoa, that's crazy. And yeah, I was the greatest comedian of all time
00:26:59 in my eyes
00:27:01 Oh, man, that's that's that's interesting right there. You had to narrow down. I probably would say eddie murphy for me
00:27:06 I mean, I love richard pryor. I think he great but eddie murphy had all the all of the things I like, you know for me
00:27:12 Like he can do characters stand up, you know tv he do dramas like I was just watching dream girls other day
00:27:19 He was killing that dude like this this he's seen you know, I mean so
00:27:23 Like for me he kind of he checked truly all the boxes of a great comedian man
00:27:28 Once eddie murphy did come into america and he played 64 in that. Yeah
00:27:32 Oh, yeah, the white dude. Yeah, did nobody know he's that white dude. Nobody
00:27:38 Right, yeah, like once you did that I was like
00:27:43 I don't I don't know if anybody but all this yeah the stretch of it
00:27:47 I mean rich prior was great for sure my one of my favorite comedians is
00:27:50 That i've modeled myself off of though was the uh, late robert harris baby kids. Yeah
00:27:56 Yeah, because he was the first comedian that I recognized
00:27:59 That did it kind of like a like an uncle like a cousin like he just remind you of somebody, you know already
00:28:06 And so it wasn't as big and as shiny as eddie, but it was like
00:28:12 Definitely funny than as hell and regular like he just felt like and he felt like a saint louis dude
00:28:17 He was from chicago, but he felt like a saint louis dude. So that was the first time I really looked at
00:28:23 Comedy and saw somebody that was famous there. I was like, oh I could do that
00:28:26 Yeah, like that I could do he was like that
00:28:29 He was like the uncle around the way that anybody that come through he just rip you rip
00:28:33 Your little ass. What your mom tell your mom to call me one of them
00:28:36 He was a real live old head from around the way that just a barbecue. Yeah
00:28:42 It was funny as hell and then he started showing up like the spike lee movies and yeah, you know people
00:28:47 House party is when he was a kid dad. That was like that was the movie man every little step you take
00:28:53 We were in his bedroom. Yeah, he was he was so
00:28:56 He was he was a motherfucking man
00:28:58 But yeah, no, he snapped so that that was so that would probably be my you know
00:29:03 That that kind of grouping that I really rock with eddie
00:29:06 eddie robert harris richard pryor
00:29:09 That'd be that one then I then I just you know, I like comedians in general though, man
00:29:14 There's some so many comedians that be killing it like, you know, so
00:29:17 I just grew up where I just enjoyed, you know, enjoy dudes that do it and and the ladies too like
00:29:24 You know wanders sykes funny as hell to me
00:29:27 ellen
00:29:30 Ellen like well ellen used to have a special she should she has some funny specials man
00:29:34 Like what about the young people that's coming up now? Is any of them? You got your eyes on you?
00:29:38 Oh, man, well, I mean all of them, you know, we did a tour last year and dc young fly was on there with us
00:29:42 He killed you know saying he a hustler go get her super funny right there
00:29:47 Uh, man, but you know a lot of these guys, you know, I saw country wayne perform
00:29:52 I saw you know, I never i've i've seen
00:29:55 Like I like like the dudes that just do it on their little thing like ha ha davis
00:30:00 Like I like this guy ryan davis. These guys make me laugh
00:30:04 Uh, but carlos miller all of them
00:30:06 Them 95 south dudes all them chico all them funny, man. Yeah, desi banks. Hold on desi. Yeah
00:30:12 Oh, yeah, young des. Yeah for sure
00:30:14 I like I like to rock and i'm i'm a big
00:30:17 You know, we try to find shows that we produce for them and create because that's you know
00:30:22 i'm a big proponent of the next generation and knowing that
00:30:25 You're gonna be next anyway, so it ain't no reason to be like
00:30:29 People be like, oh man, you know, they do it this way and they do it that way
00:30:32 I don't really care like you got and you you got stuff popping and you just need a bigger audience then
00:30:38 We try to use our platform to make sure that we can well you say you produce what you mean you do produce the tour
00:30:43 Mainly mainly tv shows try to create shows for these guys like and you know give them opportunities to be on other things
00:30:51 Uh, but that's what we've been like we got a couple of shows. We're developing with
00:30:55 with uh, ha ha davis and we was developing we was developing one with country wayne that just dropped out not too long ago, but
00:31:03 But uh, you know a lot of a lot of the comedians i'm gonna kind of rock with like the writers put them on
00:31:08 Put them in situations in the writers room
00:31:10 Rita davis, she just got nominated for the award
00:31:13 But she had her I had her writing on mine when I hosted the emmys that gave her jobs all over the other place
00:31:19 She started writing for the sag awards all these other places. So
00:31:22 that kind of stuff
00:31:25 Let me ask you this when you see the black on black crime in comedy
00:31:29 Because we don't usually see comedians beefing and you know, I mean like that's that's like some rapper
00:31:34 Like and then you wake up
00:31:37 And we not necessarily touching on none of that
00:31:39 But when you wake up and you hear your name and it has a grown-ass man. Yeah who've been in comedy for 35
00:31:46 Years. Yeah, how does that make you feel like is it like I I can't believe this. Yeah, I mean for real
00:31:53 I mean that's for the most part
00:31:55 That's the only way that you can really look at it because i'm not really a person that
00:31:59 You know measure myself off social media at all. Like i'm not i've been doing this. That's what I do
00:32:04 So that's my only response to it is like bro. I do this like I don't even know what you're talking about
00:32:09 like so the the the the idea of it being so important to people like
00:32:15 And it's interesting that you know, like because it it perpetuated, you know weeks later with everybody like next thing
00:32:23 Next, you know this comedian beefing the next thing, you know that
00:32:25 Starting to see it. That's just like it. I mean to the point, you know the other day it was comedians literally in a
00:32:31 comedy show
00:32:33 Arguing with each other for one in the audience and one on the stage and I was like
00:32:37 What is this all about right? You know again because we live in a business where we there to bring joy, you know
00:32:43 Yeah, and make people laugh and forget their problems. We definitely don't want to be
00:32:48 Bringing up people blood pressure, you know what i'm saying?
00:32:50 so so, you know, I mean I really feel like it is a sign of the times like it's the ideology that
00:32:56 You know, I call it acute trump syndrome where everybody just mean dog
00:33:00 Like people just feel like they can say mean things and get away with it
00:33:04 As long as they belong as it's true to them like they don't have to be true at all
00:33:08 But if it's true to them
00:33:10 Then they can just say it as such and that's what they want to believe and then
00:33:14 You gotta go around and either defend yourself. Yeah, or decide like that ain't my truth and y'all can eat that shit all day
00:33:20 if you want to but I don't I don't sit around and do that I
00:33:24 Literally got a lot of shit to do today, right and it definitely need to be arguing with uh, hot hot
00:33:30 Number number nine from somewhere and that's on my comments talking about you
00:33:35 I don't know you fail, right?
00:33:41 You do you you be that mad at me I don't even know you bro, right like I don't even know how you that mad at me
00:33:46 Absolutely, that's crazy, man. So but it is that space, you know that that world that we living in where you know
00:33:53 Social media is a real reality to people, you know in their minds
00:33:58 and so they live in their space and they recognize by that and so
00:34:01 You know, you you you're asked to defend things that ain't even
00:34:07 Interesting to you, you know what I mean? Like so I don't know that's the way I looked at it
00:34:11 I actually, you know found it a little bit more comical than most people wanted me to
00:34:15 You know to respond to it because when you og don't nothing really ruffle your feathers. I mean I just feel like i'm og from
00:34:23 St. Louis man. I made a load of money. I got 69 movies out. I got i'm about to do a residency
00:34:29 Yeah, i'm really I got my tv show going. I'm doing so I got business going i'm steady
00:34:34 I'm busy. I'm busy. You saw the seasons
00:34:37 I'm shaking these trees man. I said and i'm telling jokes and i'm funny for real
00:34:44 Like I don't worry about none of that and that's what most my friends don't understand when you get to be
00:34:49 some years on you
00:34:52 When you go down on social media how you young motherfuckers out there feel they don't even matter
00:34:57 I should feel right at another old one. We don't really be feeling that type of way. We
00:35:03 I'm worrying about my blood pressure
00:35:05 He was they had him running around the prison yard like that too
00:35:22 You know, it's the worst
00:35:32 Called me right from up to jail that was up to jail with it, right?
00:35:35 They used to tell me about an incident at the yard, right?
00:35:37 so he said
00:35:40 It was a nigga that was standing by behind him
00:35:42 That a nigga was beefing with
00:35:45 Right, but whip out in the yard start running. He had a knife
00:35:49 He started running. I thought he was looking at me
00:35:52 I said yeah
00:35:59 You had a you had a quick feet man, I had happy feet. Yeah, all you heard was
00:36:04 That's all you know my feet was happy as shit in that ground
00:36:08 But they called me said that it was running through the yard like to real buckley
00:36:14 That's the main thing that was the main thing man, I had to get the fuck out of there
00:36:27 But no, you know when you look at the game now, man
00:36:30 Yeah, and and you're og and there's so many on social media. There's so many young comics stepping in the game
00:36:37 what advice can you give them and what
00:36:39 Did you make any bad moves business moves coming up or?
00:36:42 You know any game that you could get them that they could utilize in their journey because they they listening, you know
00:36:48 I think I mean the real thing is like, you know
00:36:50 A lot of times it's not to give over your power to somebody you think they got more power
00:36:56 Meaning, you know like a lot of times we start our business and we build it up and I think y'all are great examples
00:37:01 Right, you said even when I was just asking you about this early on you like we own us right?
00:37:05 But to see if somebody come and try to offer you a deal
00:37:08 You will think that they know more than you. Yeah, you will say I
00:37:12 Well, let me give y'all my shit so that I can go be better and yet
00:37:17 You know my partner right there me and me and rome been together for 30 years like yeah
00:37:22 since since
00:37:25 I've my sophomore year in college and his freshman year been partners, but when I started building my business
00:37:30 We just stayed together and you know, everything had to operate off the way that we felt like it needed to go
00:37:36 So i'm not here to try to you know
00:37:38 Always tell like young folks like don't don't don't start having a great dream and then think somebody else
00:37:44 Is gonna live your dream or make your dream come true
00:37:47 That's your dream and you you build it up to a got to a point to where somebody's decided
00:37:53 Like I want to be in business with you and then you go. All right
00:37:56 Here you go
00:37:58 And then next thing, you know, you know
00:38:00 So bad because you and your partner rome y'all probably been through this because me and gill been through this a lot of times
00:38:06 We'll go to a meeting right kicking it, you know people might have
00:38:12 a successful infrastructure now
00:38:15 Just like your own got y'all
00:38:18 The successful infrastructure they might just be figureheads and they didn't build that. Exactly
00:38:23 They're just employees of the successful infrastructure. So we go sit there and talk with them
00:38:28 and me and him will walk out like
00:38:30 Is it you or is it me but wasn't the mother a dumb ass?
00:38:33 They just sound dumb. They don't even know what's going on for real. Why the fuck will we partner with them?
00:38:38 They'll fuck our shit up. They don't even know what's going on. They don't even know how they don't even they
00:38:42 They're just figureheads in the infrastructure that was built by somebody else that was putting the real work in
00:38:48 And i'm sitting here talking to some idiots. We wait. They don't even know what the fuck we talking about
00:38:52 No chiefs in the room exactly and what you said was so important because
00:38:56 what we do is
00:38:58 we um
00:38:59 In the culture a lot of times
00:39:01 And that's coming up. That's just as naturally coming up out of the ghetto a lot of times we become slaves to logos
00:39:07 And we start worshiping logos. Yeah, you know from networks to clothing brands. We worship the logo so much to titles
00:39:14 Listen to titles. We worship the logos and the titles that we'll forget that
00:39:18 What we building?
00:39:21 Is a strong logo also?
00:39:22 Yeah our logo and what we did already to come up out of the poverty let alone to battle through that shit
00:39:28 And then to be creative didn't be successful. Yeah, our logo is as strong as that logo
00:39:33 They might have more financial backing but our shit is proven too. We just don't have some time the complexion for the connection
00:39:40 To be able to get the resources. That's really the greatest thing to any young, you know, any young creative man
00:39:45 It's just you know, know that that that thing that you believe on they got you in the room. They got you
00:39:50 That's the thing like they if they could do what you do, they wouldn't even be having this meeting
00:39:55 Yeah, why would we having this meeting? Right? So so so that's just and that and it's a prime example
00:40:01 of
00:40:03 We had somebody on our team who
00:40:06 They they got themselves fired
00:40:09 because
00:40:11 They wanted to tell us how to do the content
00:40:13 Yeah, and you know, he lost his mind
00:40:17 Like hey, don't tell us how to do the content you do what you do
00:40:21 Right
00:40:23 They took it personal. Yeah, and it was like no
00:40:26 We the ones doing the content. We the ones put ourselves in this position
00:40:31 Yeah, how the fuck are you going to come in and tell us how to do some shit? You never did. Mm-hmm
00:40:38 Yeah, I mean, that's that don't make no sense always, you know the passenger seat or you know, backseat driver, you know
00:40:44 Monday money court they got they got titles for those folks, you know, yeah, because you ain't paying no gas, right?
00:40:50 You ain't you ain't paying this you ain't paid for this car. None of this shit or take any insurance
00:40:55 And then you ain't taking none of this else if I bang this motherfucker
00:40:58 Oh, he won't even when y'all first started like it's people people forget like I said them them nights
00:41:04 I go up there and got to get that money back. That's a real feeling
00:41:07 That's a real nice a feeling that that you got to be able to deal with in order to grow
00:41:11 You can't you can't really give that to somebody right? I can't hand that to you, bro
00:41:16 Like you gotta be over here in these shoes doing this, right if you ain't willing to do this with me and and you know
00:41:22 Everybody get their money back like dog. You ain't getting none night either. I'm sorry
00:41:26 I gave the people their money back man. You know, don't do too much smiling either man. I ain't got time for that
00:41:33 He looked like a philly
00:41:35 But no and it's just like a lot of times people don't understand
00:41:44 Regardless, you know you give people a little advice
00:41:46 But you got to take some nails in this shit because there's been times where you ever created the show
00:41:51 Or you might have got a production deal and y'all did something and it ain't go right. It might have flied
00:41:56 That's a part of this, you know, I mean and never and never stop being creative, too
00:42:01 That's what I was just over thinking
00:42:03 No
00:42:07 And at the same time I was wanting to say that like the I
00:42:12 Is the ideas that what happened like once you kind of go up?
00:42:16 You realize you feel like you get comfortable and you don't get creative. You gotta stay creative
00:42:21 And you don't stay on your toes
00:42:23 You don't stay experimenting or inquisitive or want to ask questions like people take the success and remeasure it
00:42:30 Like I mean, I think like when I've been like people expected y'all to change when y'all got y'all deal, right?
00:42:35 Like I think tell me to get my minivan y'all to change get my minivan
00:42:39 Exactly, and that's the problem. You need to get a nasty too bad nasty as minivans up now
00:42:45 Trying to pick me up in a minivan. You got a lamborghini
00:42:49 63 beds a 63 truck a denali pickup truck don't pick me up at nothing that the motherfucking water pump might go on
00:42:59 You still hold on to it, man
00:43:01 For for some bullshit sentimental reasons
00:43:05 I used to I used to drop off a million dollars in packages for my clothes in it, man
00:43:11 Fuck all that now you're dropping them off. It's something new
00:43:13 Burn this mother give it to somebody in the family man. Give it to one of our nieces or something, man
00:43:19 He said yeah, yeah
00:43:21 Yeah, but no, you know, he always hold on. He got a bunch of shit. He came home from prison, which still got it
00:43:28 Keep my state boost to remind me if you don't fool them nasty ass
00:43:31 But no man, it's like gotta remind me of the journey the journey i've been through it's a real journey
00:43:37 But no, but no, you you know, you sit back and you'd be like man. You gotta stay creative about this joint
00:43:42 Yeah, it was a real journey
00:43:44 He was locked up
00:43:47 You know, you know, you know some of his jobs in prison
00:43:50 No, what he had to do in prison? Oh, no, he was the captain of the wrestling team
00:43:56 Looked at me like what he was a pimp in prison. He had three bitches
00:44:00 Yeah, ricky minaj
00:44:03 low low him and he answered
00:44:05 He said believe it
00:44:23 Don't believe I did had a lot of jobs but
00:44:25 You know, all right. Don't don't act like you have a lot of job. I was you know cook
00:44:31 um, uh
00:44:33 clothing exchange, um
00:44:35 Block worker
00:44:38 I was at the warehouse. It was approved for I was at the farm
00:44:41 What do you think about this too like this opportunity that y'all had that's another thing man
00:44:45 I think that people also figure you you you kind of hit on this sometime in your talks while but I think
00:44:51 People think that they what they do in their young life
00:44:53 Is that don't mean all that is all they gonna be and then like that's don't mean nothing
00:44:58 You had the rap career and people think like well damn once it was over is it all over?
00:45:03 Right, but I love the idea that people could always be recreating
00:45:07 But you don't know what's coming your way unless you like get up and do it
00:45:10 You only out the game you only out the game when you count you the fuck out
00:45:13 and if you're breathing you got a shot at the end of the day what it is is
00:45:18 A lot of people a lot of people biggest haters be themselves. Yeah, because they're
00:45:22 They'd be like, oh man, I can't do this. I got felonies man
00:45:25 I can't they will sit there and that's then that self-hate that self-doubt talk. They will beat they self down man
00:45:31 I got felonies man. Anybody want I can't do nothing man. I know who said you can't do no you breathe it man
00:45:36 Go ahead go at this shit, right? Ain't nobody gonna stop you go at this and figure your thing out
00:45:40 Yeah, that's right. Then when you can figure your thing out as a rap, but like and it's in is who you mess with
00:45:46 Yeah, because we all you know, everybody got a family member be like, oh you so you think you gonna come out of jail?
00:45:52 And do some shit that I ain't doing. I ain't never go to jail. Good luck. Let me see this
00:45:57 Right, you gotta be exactly gotta be with people that's elevating. Yeah
00:46:02 Climbing higher it definitely definitely not around folks. That's doubting you from me. What trying?
00:46:08 like
00:46:11 That beat you to fuck up in the ghetto in the ghetto
00:46:13 You know that man, they grind you up for trying some some new shit. Yeah. Oh just for trying you got that camera fool, man
00:46:21 You know
00:46:22 I'm trying to do
00:46:24 Fuck you filming for me because you the cops know
00:46:28 I'm trying to do something new
00:46:31 Hustle with cell true. They so yeah, but then the ghetto say some crazy. Look at this going to college trying to be smart
00:46:39 Oh
00:46:41 What
00:46:43 Because you gotta understand you understand and then social media gave everybody a voice to have the opinion
00:46:49 And the funny thing about it
00:46:51 Majority of the people with the pens ain't got shit going on in real life
00:46:55 That's the real key to it right going on that kind of look that alludes to what we talked about earlier
00:47:01 Like it's the idea that the people that you listening to that or even cause you to get off your get off your block
00:47:07 You know off your rock is because you listening to somebody ain't got nothing going on, dawg
00:47:12 They ain't even doing half the shit you're doing and you let that get you off your block because somebody say something
00:47:17 There and you know, we're very emotional like that as a culture too. Like our emotions
00:47:22 any any any slight dish any kind of thing that feel like it's a
00:47:27 You know little level of disrespect then we can be off our rock man and just be literally on
00:47:34 on red on tilt about
00:47:37 Some nonsense real talk like what are you mad about bro? Like if it ain't really real why that make you so mad?
00:47:43 Like let that go. You know what I I had a I had a problem with that and it's not that
00:47:48 It's not that
00:47:51 You know what make me mad
00:47:53 it's like
00:47:54 Bro, I don't know nobody. Why are you fucking with me, man? Yeah, but out all these niggas on planet earth you choose me to fuck with
00:48:00 Yeah
00:48:03 Yeah, because you goofy you chose me out of all these goofy motherfuckers running around here planet earth, right?
00:48:09 You stopped at me and said you gonna choose me
00:48:13 That's what make me the maddest because it's like bro. I don't fuck with nobody. I wake up every day
00:48:18 I deal with my grandkids. I fuck with my I fuck with my gang. My gang is my grandkids my nephews
00:48:25 My nieces, that's my gang. Yeah, wallow
00:48:29 My wife and my kids. That's my game. I don't fuck with nobody
00:48:32 So that that's that that'd be the problem with me when a mother wake up and fuck with me and i'm minding my business
00:48:39 and i'm just like
00:48:42 Then he got to be like cuz this shit long cuz
00:48:45 Don't do it
00:48:47 I always tell him
00:48:49 I tell him something and it was hard as shit for him man. That mother. It was hard
00:48:52 I used to talk to him about so much different shit in the spot and i'd be like cuz
00:48:58 We live in a world now where people is trying to build these false ideas of a career
00:49:04 Based off of just talking about people on social media. Yeah, so I said in this game you got to respond up not down
00:49:12 Sometimes you can't even respond. So you got to respond up if a month this if if a month
00:49:18 But real somebody they got a real voice somebody that people listen to or somebody in real position
00:49:24 Come at you. You got to check that month
00:49:26 Because you can't let a mother allow a big speaker. I'm in a big microphone. You got to check but if a month
00:49:32 You got a month with a little baby
00:49:34 uh, fisher price microphone
00:49:37 Down the neighborhood somebody in behind a fake name don't even want to show their face or or even somebody got a little punk ass
00:49:43 YouTube or so and ain't got nothing really going on, right?
00:49:47 Like we making
00:49:49 Loads of money you think you got time to respond to them and put light on them. This is what they wanted
00:49:54 that's what they wanted right there this is a new way of trying to market because
00:49:57 Social media is educating the kids is even educating the adults to make them believe that hating on the mother is a new way to
00:50:05 blow up
00:50:06 Yeah, and talking bad about somebody else. So so so that's the whole game up
00:50:09 So now it's like I gotta tell them cuz you don't see what they trying to do
00:50:12 They want you to snap and check them because when you check them you bring a bunch of attention to them
00:50:16 So now all these people that's the free market is weird. It's weird
00:50:20 It's weird because if we go, yeah, you know, you free market you you go, they know what they be doing. That's it
00:50:25 That's it. Exactly. So sometimes people just really out there provoking it for the sake of it, too
00:50:29 You know
00:50:30 which is kind of your point that people just I just literally trying to draw you into stuff and
00:50:35 Lawsuits and they they want you to go as far as to hit them or anything
00:50:39 Like you don't you don't even you don't even know how you getting reeled in like it's just like
00:50:44 Dog, I literally have nothing if you snap hard enough. I'm
00:50:47 Yeah, I need you to I need you to push me
00:50:50 And what's so crazy is now every time I see a new lawsuit come across the mother internet is for 30 million
00:50:57 Yeah, my sock the dacasi pocket. Everybody said that's the number 30 million
00:51:02 Should be walking across the street
