Say man. Hey, I got a guy today, man He been ripping through the internet waves man. I'm gonna be honest. I see him on Instagram That's why you really be getting busy for me because everybody got the little platform that they like to go on and And when I see this guy man, hey, man, I can't stop laughing. I ain't gonna lie man Hey, I got my boy man. Jesse McDonald a comedian Baby, yes, I'm here man. I'm glad you made it man. I'm glad I'm here too. I just don't like this booster seat you Say man, so hey man, so I ain't man I always start off be like hey man Just tell us a little bit about yourself how you got started in the whole comedy thing and if Anything else you need to want to get off your chest Well, I'm comedian Jesse McDonald. I used to go by Lil Jay. Okay, but Ricky Smiley told me how long you're gonna be little He said eventually you got to grow up and if I look up Lil Jay, how many Lil Jay is gonna pop up He said start going by your real name So I googled comedian Jesse McDonald. Nobody pulled up. So I start going by my real name Wow, I'm originally from Ariana, Arkansas And the comedy it was always in me cuz people used to always talk about me cuz the way I walk on the way I was just talked about me So I learned how to talk about myself and learn how to laugh at myself So when I learned how to laugh at myself then when other people talk about me it don't hurt me So the thing that you say about me I know I already said about myself and I would already came up with a comeback line So from there if you try to talk about me I knew how to come back off your comeback line and turn it turn the joke on you. That's what y'all do Yeah, y'all bad boys. I a man Could have been in the comedy if I just practice it ain't it ain't easy cuz people think now you got to write it down Oh, I'm funny everybody say I'm funny There's a difference between neighborhood funny and stage funny stage funny. You got to have material Neighborhood funny you could talk about a little e or you could talk about a little quarrel there with the with the Busted ties and you know why it's ties got busted cuz baby mama bust them out and it's funny to them But stage funny you you got to be to bring that a whole different way Well, the thing I can say is Jesse the comedian Jesse McDonald cuz that's the one that don't nobody know about the comedian. Yes, Jesse McDonald What go ahead when I when I see your comedy man, like I said anything to keep a smile on people face I mean, it's just automatically go to it. I like to smile anybody would anybody that has a Attitude to where it it makes you feel like you can't have a good time. I can't be around them people anyway No negative energy brings negative energy. Yeah. Yeah, you gotta stay positive even when it's negative. Definitely but what I loved about what you said about turning People talking bad about your or making fun of you into a comedic way I love that I wish a lot of people today would do that because you talk about bullying a lot of kids are Affected by bullying and not trying to turn it into a positive way so that it won't affect their lives because there's so many kids out Here whether commit suicide or you know and being a bully themselves. I Love the way how you handled it. Yeah, I'm bullying well back in the day We didn't we didn't call it bullion. We call it a we John and then you're gonna do you're gonna take it Does it but nowadays people are so sensitive I ain't gonna say all people but some people are sensitive and well I think what helped me was my uncle always taught me when I failed when I was young he said you ain't handicapped get up Yeah, my cousins never treated me like I was just able if they were wrestling I want to wrestle Okay, they're gonna wrestle rough just like this And they never took it easy on me So I guess it ain't all about just saying the word bullying is the people that that you around and The way they treat you if they treat you like you're disabled you're gonna follow in a disabled category But they treat you like you regular then you're gonna follow in that regular a look ain't disabled category Because I go home everything got to walk up 20 stairs Let me ask you this I see you you you mentioned Ricky smiley while ago. What about a I think it was D Ray I see you on I see you with a lot of different comedians. Yes D Ray D Ray. That's my boy. I The I traveled all the way I met him in little rock I traveled to LA just to go to one of his shows and now everywhere. He looked he seen me Okay, so we was in LA and this guy named spike was like man you funny, but you ain't gonna get on my stage I like, okay D Ray see me. He said hey you perform here. I said not I said no He said we'll get ready up and to put you up. He'd say you better kill it He put me up there and I murdered it. Oh Mike came back. He said man I like you you funny. You found a way to get your ugly. It's on up And ever since then I just toured and just followed D Ray and all of a sudden He put gave me a chance one time in Memphis to perform and I did the show and I killed it And once I killed it. He was like I said when the next show he say it hard for Connecticut I say why I want to go. He's a not for that is I say I don't care. Just tell me. I'm on it I'm near you. That's a long way. I like I'm near He told me to show up and ever since then I've been going that was 24 hours driving Wow So did dedication what showed him? Hey look, you know Hey look this guy really trying to do it and that he proved to me He proved to me that he wanted to get there even if he had to get there by a cell Wow, that's crazy because I know I remember hearing stories on Eddie Griffith How he went up to LA and was sleeping on on the benches and everything else trying to get in the game When when he first and then he tried to act like he was his own like, you know When they have the assistance or somebody else in the phone Yeah, he had to play that role too just to get into certain places because he didn't have all the things that it took to build up The you know the infrastructure won't talk to you unless you got Representation it don't matter how good you is So something and it's crazy because you could be real good now and day and they name all about how funny you is Or how good you is in music. It's all about how many followers you got. Yeah The amount of followers then, you know, you could be you could be the best But you ain't got that many amount of followers then they're not gonna mess with you. Wow So it's really setting the standard. Mm-hmm. You can have a million followers and be garbage. I know a lot of them like that name That may be garbage right now, but they made but they're still working on a craft and they haven't gave up So everybody that at one point was because I was at one point was garbage But people constantly telling me hey look that's garbage It made me get better because that criticism made me want to do better and be like look I got to go prove to this person that hey look I'm better than what they think I am But everybody sends a humor is totally different because like we've been to comedy shows and or even at home when Yeah, my daughter and Elvis showing me something funny and I'm looking at it like Yeah, we don't even have the same type of funny My daughter we rock out but her she don't get it She don't think it's fun. No totally different. So like I love Eddie Griffin. I love Monique So I'll go to them to right there. They say whatever the only my mind But you see what I really loved about him was not only the jokes But the fact that he gave me history I know that you're doing your research not just telling them jokes, but about Whether politics or society or where we came from he started giving us knowledge and I like that about his shows It's not just about a joke, but really just to educate people as well. So to me. I like that What about Dick Gregory? I've never if you like Eddie Griffin then you will love Dick Gregory is any educational He's straight funny. He's not gonna sugarcoat. Nothing the crazy thing is I like I like the fact that white and black people show up to their shows and they were like cracker and hunky and So being a comedian who have you came up behind? Like I got to go on the stage after him and you was kind of like Don't give me that don't give it that Give me a big name that you went in after that you was like it's nothing that but I would probably be like whoa Oh Man, I didn't work with so many people. Give me a name. It's hard to say No matter who you put me behind. I'm so comfortable with myself That I know what I came to do and I know what I'm gonna do Well, it don't matter who you put me behind I know what I came to do because everybody got their own category of jokes So if I put you behind say Dave Chappelle and you have to come up. I'm ready No, I heard other boy like like even Kevin. What's the name? Let's show Kevin Kevin Hart Kevin Hart and and and and Chris Rock I've heard them say they was even intimidated by Chappelle you don't the thing is when you know what God put you on earth to do It your talent is your talent you got to be you you got this if you feel nervous going behind somebody then that mean You should feel nervous going behind just anybody that put you they put you behind So just because this person got a bigger name doesn't mean they're not as funny as you or as great as you You can still go up there behind that comedian and give the same energy But you got to have it in your heart and in your mind that hey look, I'm confident where I'm at I know what I'm finna do. Mm-hmm. What what about day? What was that boy named Mike? Yeah, Mike else my boy. You were you work with him you you've been when you did shows with him I didn't work with Mike Mike Mike is real cool He told me hey just keep doing what you're doing because people always say hey What would you what would the advice would you give people today to to make it to where you made it is? My best advice is keep doing what you're doing But what you're doing got you here to meet me and if it got you here to meet me What you're doing gonna continue to grow to help you meet other people because what I did may not work for you I got disability some people probably felt sorry for me and be like hey look we're gonna We're gonna we're gonna help this handicapped guy at the same time. I didn't see no disability I just say hey look I seen people that I'm finna meet. I'm gonna take this number. You just step and stone and I'm gonna keep grinding So have you ever ran out of? jokes yeah You can't run out of jokes because I can never stop talking about me or do you ever find that because okay a lot When I'm gonna go watch a comedy show I'm looking them up on YouTube listening to their jokes a lot of that and then sometimes when I go and watch them It's the same jokes. They bring back but the thing is sometimes well just the way they went You have to have a set if you don't have a set you'll be rambling what I mean by set like Sometimes you get up there. You just do jokes and you do jokes you do jokes And they're not they funny But some of them may not hit because you don't have them lined up But when you line them up to where one joke Correspond with the next joke and constantly go once you get you a set set You know your set is funny Then you work that set after you work that set for so long then you go to Gravitating over to a new set So how long it takes you to do a new set like how long do you keep that one set for you keep it a year or two Okay, about two years But if you got funny jokes sometimes don't matter how many times you change your set It's certain jokes that you want to hear Rudy Ray Moore. You cannot bring him here without hearing signify a monkey Yeah, so you got certain jokes no matter how many sets you change people want to hear that joke I know matter if you've been to that and you didn't hurt your time plenty of time You can say the joke with them and it still be funny So so do you think that? Okay, so when you you just went to I know you said you was in Triport, then you went to Alabama then you went to Atlanta. I went to Atlanta and you just got back up this way You already got shows booked out. We got shows booked out carpet Dm We said we've been we've been busy. I've been trying with curl and clay born and thanks to him and Tim Bay and all the other people that been giving me a chance to get out here and open up for them and build my platform and She nags my errand my cousin so with me building my platform is able is Abling me to now be able to go out and start my own Comedy tour so that's what we're working on. So so you how was it transitioning from like the the Being just on the road and going and going to the shows and be it You know just by word of mouth to transitioning over into this internet phase. How was that? How was that transition and how did you adapt? Is it better on this side or was it better on that side? Well, you appreciate the grind from back in the day That's that's what I do you you you hand in hand you grinding. It's not like oh hit enter now I'm famous It's like hey, look, I drove to these spots 14 hours 22 hours Slept in my car at nighttime because sometimes you didn't want to spend that money to buy a room Because you know you had to pay for gas to get back here But one thing I learned always here are merchandise if you don't have merchandise once you get off stage and you're fun That's good. People don't know who you is and good example this weekend I went to Chicago okay, I go the guy there got my luggage and the crazy thing is I thought a luggage was mine I grabbed it a lady grab my luggage But in my luggage all I had was all t-shirts and I didn't know that I had a luggage and on my t-shirts I got all my social media. Yeah, all my social media has my number So they went in there and they pulled me up and they commented say hey look you got our suitcase I'm like, huh? She's like, yeah, you got our suitcase. We've got choice. I'm like I'm looking like how you find me then I thought about it all my t-shirts got that on it And I was able to go back and switch shirts and take it and I mean what sweet suit how fast did it happen pretty quick Probably a couple hours Yeah, you didn't realize you just roll the question thing good cuz I was in Chicago I wait on the other comedians to get there so we can go do a show in Wisconsin Okay, so I just had a friend to pick me up and drop me off at the hotel They met me at the hotel with swap suitcases Wow, and then when she didn't even really know who I was and she followed me and she said That's what's up, man So so so where where where are you performing at next next where this weekend? I'm in Where we're in Jacksonville, Florida. Okay Jacksonville, Florida after Jacksonville when you come back Dallas I'm in Dallas all the time. You're like, where do you where do you frequent? Is it somewhere? We can see you here in Dallas It's basically it's on the tour. Okay, right now. I'm working with the tour and Just having nobody really call me from that I'm waiting on you to come back to Dallas cuz if you be right here, but then you have to you live in Dallas So I live in Dallas, but you travel a lot cuz you're not even performing here You booked out of town. It's so crazy because a lot of times people in your own city It's like you have always have to go out first and then you come back here. I think I go to Arkansas Do you go to Arkansas? I go to Arkansas to go see my kid. No No, no, I don't Probably without honor in his own country. I didn't have I didn't have a chance to where I Asked the guy I said, hey look you got a comedy club in in Little Rock and I say um When you gonna book me to do a comedy show here. He told me never. I said, whoa I said, I said, okay. I said guess what next time I come to your show I mean your your comedy club somebody gonna be paying me to perform. Exactly. He said we'll see The next month I came and I headlined And I was getting paid see and he told me he said man When you gonna stop playing to come on do a show for me. I say when that money, right? Exactly. See he had the opportunity to recognize you. That's why a lot of times, you know We're in Dallas We always try to recognize people who are here people who don't get the recognition that they should get because like Why are we gonna try to look for people who are out of Dallas out of Texas to have them whether? Virtually come on our show or ask them to fly in to come on our show. It doesn't make sense There's a lot of talent here Yeah, he know me though, and he didn't even try to book you before. Mm-hmm. You see that's a shame and I have no I have no hard feelings or some, you know I mean because I mean at the same time it's a business But same time my job is to make sure I do my work so good to where you have no other choice But to pay me right and everything happens for a reason and in its due time. That's how I look on life That's what a lot of people don't understand You know people be a error every year people some people say this is my year. It's my year But the thing I learned with this being your year It may not be your year to blow up But it could be your year to help somebody else blow up and once that person blow up they can bring you exactly Some people like oh, I'm not helping them because if I help them that's gonna get them on and I'm not gonna be on Well, if I help you and you get on if I help you get on you may not be the person to help me get on It may be the person that I introduce you to be like, well, how you meet him? Well, this little guy over here with the crutch tall cup holder That's the guy that introduced me like hey look, I need to meet him. Wow So what in who inspired you to um pursue Comedy when I know you said you you were um practicing to do your own jokes before someone else told a joke on you right so But you had to have a comedian at that point that you looked up to and like man, he's good. I like him Oh So many because everybody different but I did I looked at a lot of comedy Comedy and I watched all of them. I watched I watched a lot of the comic views So what's the um the other one where they used to get raunchy? Um, it was before comedy Um, I cannot think I don't know why I'm trying to think It's gonna it's gonna come of you death jail death jail when you watch death jam You start learning everybody got their own style of comedy like people like well How can you compare? Mike epps to the kevin heart. Well kevin heart tells stories about his family Mike epps do hood hood comedy. Yeah, but at the same time it's still jokes about the family Then you got the ricky smiley's in the in the um, what's his name? Steve harby They do church church material at the same time They still got a little hood side that they where they can throw it in there to where it can bring So it breaks up the soul So We'll say some people be like churchy churchy, right breaks it up to where you know what I'm saying You're like, oh, okay. He doing this doing that. You know, I've been inspired by by like Steve Harvey and uh ricky smiley You know, they get over I think they tap into they tapped into a place where it was okay to It was okay to love god, but still be funny. Yes, and I know that That that's what helped me a lot when I when I would watch ricky smiley or steve I I already love god sometime. I would be too too, you know, I'd be too uh Yeah, I'm too too spiritual, you know, I was you know, I'm for the you know I I mean love god to a point where I don't need to be I mean you can't talk because you ain't trying to get yourself together But when I see those guys they kind of you know level it out to where you can be it's okay I did I'll be doing churches And I did oh, yeah, it was like it was back in the day type of church And I was like I got to wake them up to a different side And I told the I was like look can y'all patch my tablet and they were like a tablet I thought you're doing jokes. I said, yeah, I got music And say wait a minute. What kind of music? I say just trust me. I got good music And I came out on frankie bevel and maize. All right, man. Oh, they was looking at me like I know he ain't playing Wait a minute. Oh, look, I'll say see y'all looking at me y'all judging me I like let me tell y'all y'all got y'all we're talking to god I got my own way of talking to god. Everybody can't talk to god the same way you do I say you don't believe me watch this Sing the words of this song whether it's first start off. You make me happy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah This you can tell And like jesus when nobody else was there, guess what you're doing right beside you I think I do throw jesus in there. You got it. There you go. So it's all about a mind site a mind set, right Once I brung them there It's like dates start singing the song wow the energy, you know i'm saying came and I just brung brung my material From there and they be like, how do you take your hood jokes to church? Because you got to know how to clean it up one thing I learned if you can't do clean material you can't go nowhere Yeah clean material you can go anywhere Some people can't do clean material So when you can't do clean material it blocks your money it blocks out the things that you can go do One time I did a show and I was cursing right in the beginning and I heard somebody in the crowd say You can't curse I split my whole set right just I was listening to them And went straight clean and they were like wow I never seen nobody that can do that because I'd not already prepared myself to say look any situation You got to be prepared because you vibe off your audience. Exactly But really I vibe off myself because the audience can be dead So if I'm vibing off them they did then I'm gonna bring them that's right But I know my energy to myself is up and as long as I keep myself up going if you don't laugh out Like forget it that was funny to me and they'll start laughing and then I'd go right back into my set Have you ever found an audience where you're telling jokes telling jokes and they're not responding They're just looking at you like don't they call that something when you when you go out there and you and and They call it like yeah, it didn't you it's like you you it didn't do nothing. Yeah, I know what did they call it What did you do at that time? They call it the thing is with that you still keep your same energy You don't drop the thing is you hate to get a silent crowd A silent crowd could say look you're killing yourself Or at the same time a silent crowd could mean they're really paying attention to what you're saying Yeah, because I didn't do the crowd and they really didn't laugh But they came up to me at the end and said man, you you killed it man. You was good Wow So Silent crowd can go either not it's beauty doing a joke and they're laughing and they laugh and they you tell the Joking everybody just get quiet Now you be like, oh man Hey, that didn't happen to me my first time getting booed was here in Dallas. What's just about to ask you That's what I was talking like when you just told it just it didn't happen. Yes. I didn't got booed I was doing a show here at hyenas And I didn't know this my first time in Dallas doing comedy I started talking about it was a gay girl said something to me and I started talking about the gays And they say boo you ain't funny. He was on turtle. He was on turtle creek down in my side I mean, uh, what they call that avenue is where around that turtle creek, you know, yeah, I know where you was at They told me they were like get your handicap ass off the stage I said, look, let me go and tell y'all real quick. I ain't need no comedian. I come here to rap It's crazy because the guy that that's supposed to be managed me. Oh, oh, oh Well, oh, oh there Graham. He got the face shot.

I didn't come to do no comedy I came to rap I started rapping and I did the song called I ain't drunk. I just walked this way Give me a little bit of it Born with a limb but I know it's a pencil. Tell me why you're hating it when I step up in the club I got you scared to show me love know what's going through your mind see what your friend's gonna say I'll be going through the same thing like every single day now. I'm the same as you but with the arch in my back Don't be asking now my drunk because you know, it ain't like that handicap But I'm still making needs on the D. Lo you heard in my last song money be my stelo I didn't gain the fame but now I got to get the cheese a lot of brothers I ain't going on the corner stacking jeez. Remember back in the day when the spare was straight broke So I started rapping because they bring me cheese But now I got some chicken heads falling to them And to all you ones that will never give me the time of day Quit looking my way and trying to get me for my pain because I ain't drunk. I just walked this way I hear you baby. Yeah And and how long ago did you write that in 95? Wow So you bring that you flipped it on I flipped it I did that that ain't drunk and everybody got the vibing with me And once they got the vibing with me. I said, look, let me go and get y'all my testimony Yeah, I got a gospel. I got a gospel comedy set. Okay, it's like it's a testimony But I started doing jokes in there Brought them right up and they jumped right back into me and I hear them and I got up out of state I said, that's my time. Thank y'all Yeah, baby microphone. Oh, yeah, I got him. But when I dropped the microphone I feel too didn't have nobody else to help me get up because I was here and left me I don't know what I'm saying. I was there. He didn't he did it for real No, he came back when the crowd got back with me. He said, that's my artist. That's my artist That's my ball You don't be that way. Have you been back there to perform again after that? Yes. I didn't I didn't I didn't did pretty much All the a A club can't comedy clubs. You got to a list. You got to be listen. You got to see this a listen like improv Spunny bones So I did all the major ones pretty much from From the east coast to the west coast. Wow Midwest to the south. What would you say was your what state was your hardest state? Texas I haven't had no hearts because you make it good everywhere you go Because people the first thing people see that little crutch come up on the stage They were like at any point in time. He's gonna throw that thing down. They don't know I'm not throwing this thing down I dropped this crutch. You might want to say shoot me if there's a younger cat a young kid that uh He coming up, you know young like you was when you first got in the game And he want to get into Being a comedian. He loved to make people laugh That's what he wanted to do. What would you suggest? How would he start? Believe in yourself first You got to believe in yourself because if you don't believe in you, how could the next person believe in you? Invest into yourself when you invest into yourself you work harder when it's your own time When I say invest in yourself it don't necessarily mean money We invest your own time into crediting your craft Then it works go support the ones that you like Go the more you go support the more you go to learn it the more you're around The more people go to noticing you sometimes you don't think they notice but they're watching they're like sky at every one of my shows Who is it and eventually they'll say something to you and they'll kind of motivate you to be like Oh, they noticed me they're watching me Now when they get ready to give you a chance to get on stage have your material ready It don't take no long people like oh, I need 30 minutes. I need 20 minutes I'll only take it to the good three to five minutes three to five minutes on stage is a long time It's a long time. It's even longer when you're not funny So a good three to five minutes of good material And please make sure you watch the material you're using make sure you're not using nobody else material Because they will call you out if you have somebody using somebody else material People people are fighting over jokes I know I've heard people say that somebody stole their joke and they're using it and they took their joke But some people tell other people jokes better than what they was telling it exactly but at the same time People are like no, there's not there's not their joke But sometimes don't you think that like I could sit down here and write a joke And not realize that somebody actually told that joke because people think alike and that's true But it all it's all on the delivery in the setup of the joke Like you may y'all made the joke may be the same But the setup may be different delivery may be different So that's what you want to be aware of your setup your delivery of the joke So I mean Because I ain't gonna lie. I think I thought I had a little something back in the day You probably had it. You just didn't I didn't pursue it If you didn't pursue it, didn't you know, I mean, I could make a I could I had a crowd of people like you always put me on spot Let me get a joke. I don't have That'll make me nervous. I don't write it. I'd have to it's organic. You have to happen when we are just hanging out Everybody you sound like mr. Brown. No, I nobody told me that you sound just like mr. Brown You met this guy I ain't met him, but um, I sound like you hear the tone.

He said when you leave and I say when this over He said when it's over. He said let me pay for your hotel room. I said no He said let me pay for your gas. I said no He said come on. I gotta pay for your rental car or something. I said no I came here to support you. It's all about you. I like I had enough gas and money and everything to get here Really, I didn't but I didn't want to you know saying right it was about him and I just told him I just came to support you and me not taking that money Made him go on the radio the next day and he talked about from about 20 30 minutes Telling people how humble I was and how he offered to do all these things and I never would take it That I would just like hey look, you know I came to support you and he said a lot of a lot of celebrities don't get that love to where they say Hey, look, I just come to support you when you go to support in that artist in that artist got a chance to Reach back and pull you But if every time you reach reaching out to him you got your hands out now they go to looking like Man here they come they want something Well, I wanted to show you how genuine you are because it's hard to find genuine people Especially when you have reached somewhere in your life as an artist and you have that money and stuff like that Just like what you said people are always having their hand out You don't find genuine people who you can really rely on or trust and know that they truly just like me As an artist, you know what I mean when I brought up Ricky smiley It was because remember we had young bleed On here where he had him on the show on boss talk And uh, he was saying that you know Ricky when he played at how you do that there That's his song and he said he always liked it because Ricky always let his part play You know because everybody made that song kind of about masterpiece But really it was his it was a remix Yeah, and young bleed was like he just loved the fact of how Ricky shined a light on him and was respectful and how he done it Yeah, I did D Ray like that. He was his birthday the other day and um, I asked to do doubt this with him He said well, we really are really full But he'd say he always said you show up. I got you But I didn't end up showing up. I ended up doing other shows But I sent the bottle of Don Julio back to him also and When they when they gave it to him they FaceTime me and they gave it to him. He said just Thank you man. Just man. Just they just made my day And it's not to just say hey look I did this it's just to say look I appreciate the the love that you give to me because anytime you didn't got out to the point to where you can go on You can just show up at people's shows and they give you a chance to go on stage and shine Then, you know, that's a blessing. So you got to turn around and give them their roses while they're alive You can't say when he passed away. Oh, man. I love D Ray man. I man. That's my dog You know, I mean I'm glad I'm grateful that the guy that I've been working with um I made him over 10 years ago and he used to bring me in the shows I like man, I need you to manage me and over the time We were trying to figure out to where he can manage me and it would make sense And I started going on the road with them with curl went in the first time curl and clayborn And I would tell them man. Look, you ain't even got to pay me. Just let me come on stage I sell my merchandise. I know what I was capable of for selling merchandise So he gave me a chance and then I just started continued to work hard Not just coming up on the on the show to be a comedian. I learned how to make myself Ask to um a helper to the team. I learned everybody music I learned how to DJ everybody music during the show. I would go in there before the show I would do a sound check. I know certain people voices. Hey, look, you need to pull bass out of it His voice is too deep to have this much bass And once I did that and he's saying that I was a help to the team He turned around and he started managing me. So big shots out to Elton Pope with carpet dm So we think that well, I thought that you know when you're a comedian it's all about just telling jokes But now you're you know, let me know there's a lot more than just just doing that. Yeah Yes, you can and it is crazy because I was I was standing outside At one show and people were walking in they didn't know who I was. I'm like, hey, how you doing this? No, I'm sorry. I ain't got no change I'm like, do I look homeless? I came up on stage. He looked at me. He's like, oh Oh my I said, don't worry about it. I said, I ain't gonna get you I like but you better buy a t-shirt from me at the end already, man What else you got for my guy mr. Jesse mcdonald the Comedian extraordinaire Love the way I love your instagram man. I'll be tripping off of you man. You something else, man What made you what made you start doing those skits like that? I don't know. I just I was I don't know I'll just start doing working with different people and the thing is what happened was when They say kovic Yeah, they call it kovic when it hit I noticed a lot of comedians were sitting at home They was working but it wasn't working So I said, you know what? I want to work with this person this person and this person So I said, you know what? I'm gonna drive to their city And I drove to their city and we just start doing Doing comedy doing jokes and they respected the fact that I would I would get up and I would drive To them and be like let's let's do it and we started doing videos and I found out. Hey, look, I'm a professional fouler I am That that that guy that for every time I see certain people they feel like oh, let's do a video You got the fall But if the fall don't make sense. It's not no good at falling. That's right So, you know, and you got you got people in Dallas that I ran into that I loved it. I've been wanting to work with for the longest and I reached out. I just funny because I was in Atlanta and the guy the other day I recorded the guy say, you know, um Bubba dub. I like yeah, he said well, his manager my partner. I said man, I want to work with him Yeah, yeah, yeah He made the phone call and I hit bubble dub. He said man, look when you get to Dallas, man, let's work Oh, that's that's love. We we've been we've been working to rock it out We've been to bust the internet open and I'm open to work with anybody I don't care, you know, I'm saying I'm I'm willing to work with anybody because you never know Who that person is that you're trying to work with sometimes and sometimes I learn Well, I ain't gonna say sometimes I learn the people that got the most money in the game Is the one that probably got about 200 followers on instagram already Some people that got millions of followers that that's pretty much all they got some of them So what you're saying is money don't equate to followers it don't My followers don't equate to money Yeah, because of because of the business people business people or they got a couple of followers And sometimes they'll hit you in your inbox and you'd be like, hi This person they got that many followers ain't gonna reach out to them and go hit them back Because I reached a person who hit me in my inbox. He didn't have many followers But he was so constant Hit me and I was already responding. I liked this conversation And when I hit him, he said man, come to Atlanta. I'm put you in the studio I drove the streetport Come to find out and had our show because me and my girl were gonna go She went down the streetport with me and come to find out.

You you can't really just you can't scope it by your own intelligence Yeah, and I don't like the fact that people be wearing any mask talking about you're gonna die from this mask I'm gonna tell you That mask don't stop nothing.

They didn't have no handicap ramp. Nowhere Is the handicap ramp the handicap parking was in another parking lot You about to have to go all the way to the end to get to the end I was doing the name. They trying to get up that one step just to get up in this But y'all miss you y'all stop by man. Thank you so much for coming man. Appreciate you man We wish you much love and success man. We a your kids man We wish you all the success in the world, right? Yes, and real quick people if you got uh Kid that's disabled Don't treat them like they disabled because that grows into their mind into their mind that they're disabled That's good. Treat them like they regular treat them went treat them the way You know I'm saying you want the world to treat them that way when they go out there in the world Then the world won't hurt them. That's good because I have kids. I was walking in the airport and the little girl saying Mom why he walked with the crutch? She that don't ask him that I say no let her ask that way she know How to deal with handicap people when it comes across and I told the little girl I say I have several palsy Yeah, and she said well, what is several palsy? I'm gonna say stop asking me the question. I said no let her ask because she needs to know I say well, what it is. I don't have feeling in my hand or in the bottom of my feet I have it but it's it's rough. Yeah, it's hard for me to feel She said you can't feel nothing. I say I walk hard so I can feel the pressure Going down and the lady was like thank you. She said nobody never never got a chance to explain I say that's the ring kids growing up being bullies. Well, I don't call it bully That's when people grow up talking about people because they don't know they don't understand it lack of knowledge but it's so crazy because um, I'm older and People it was always a sensitive Subject when you see someone who might be disabled you don't want to pry in their business because you don't know how a person might handle it So you're scared to even ask everybody ain't got tough skin like you Well, the thing is that's the ring. I'm here. That's the ring. I That's when I have my platform to show people look if he can get out there and do it They can get out there and do it too because a lot of people don't know I used to be a cheerleader What? I was a cheerleader high school through junior. I mean, I mean junior high through college How the hell you pull that on? Hey, look, I had a big mouth and I knew how to talk I want to be I want to be out there with the people. Okay. I want to end up more I was out there with the people the more I got Got comfortable with being me. Wow. That's good stuff And I and I was the water boy for the for the um basketball team too So I got to give a shout out to them to the chimps mariana trojans. Okay. Okay number one in the regional Okay, number one in the district in arkansas number one Texas with that man Arkansas it don't matter where we at. We number one. Okay. Okay. So so if you in texas, you Don't bring that over here man. You're number one in Texas. Don't bring that over here If you go to la so you're still not number one. Are we still number one? Okay, so only in texas though, right? No If I'm only in arkansas, that's a little different. That's a little different right there Country people wanted a little bit better than some city people. That's real talk So so I was going to ask you when you because we were about to go off there But I was going to ask you about Even if they're like a kid that's going through that has cerebral palsy or if he's handicapped or something They can look at you as an inspiration. You're so true. Dude. Is there any way that there's an outlet Is there outreach some kind of way can reach you? I mean, I think that would be great for kids who don't have that tough skin Social media. Yeah. Yeah, I know social media is there. You know what you can call me You see what I'm saying? I think that would be great for somebody My daughter has it too. So yeah, you can reach you can reach out and call me my number is on my social media Don't call me out the hours because you call me out the hours and make it look like you know I'm saying you're trying to make a booty call And I ain't got time to be sleeping on the couch because you want to call just say hey look I like what you're doing keep doing what you're doing No, no, not that part right, but the kids though They really can look at you and be inspired because you're right, you know They don't have that that person that they can depend on that. I know of you may know of somebody That's right. I like to do I like to do bullying and talk You know saying the bullying in month because you can go talk about people I mean talk to people be like look I got bullied through high school But then when you when you leave they see a normal person walking Yeah, when I first walk in the building you already know He done called it. Oh, look oh look at that. You are That he done called it. You already given it to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And at the same time You don't know who I am Then when I get up there and I talk and I tell you what I've been through in my story and Everything that you know saying that I that I've overcome that you overcame too. Now you look at me different Yeah, you don't look at me the same not at all Do you go to a lot of schools and and talk to the kids? Not yet. Because uh, everybody ain't got handicapped ramps But I'm I'm trying to but that'd be great. It's hard getting in. Um, I've been reaching out to a lot a lot of them But once they let me in they're gonna see are you gonna kick the dough down? I bring Message I bring comedy. I bring laughter and I bring music that would help you hear so much You know what? I know a couple people in the school district I'm gonna reach out to them and see if I can help make that happen Yes, and I have a couple of high school helclers that are try me, you know I'm saying try to throw a joke out there. You but your mind better be running like a car on the interstate Full of gas because I'm I'm ready Because I can I can I could be doing a joke and I can you try to help me I can hit you with my joke and stay continuing with my joking going like I never said like you never said You've been prepared already exactly because you've been already out here doing the work for so many years A lot of people have been in the game that long even be even people that don't have no, uh, no handicaps or whatever think about them They go off the scene I don't know. Do I have you read you right? I don't want to talk about that. I could have said You talk about helping um young kids, but you know, you have a lot of older older people Yeah Yeah Who are handicapped now because of circumstances in their life and you know how when we're older It's harder for us to handle certain things rather than a kid Growing up. It's like it hit us harder because you're like, okay. We used to Been able to walk but now I can't walk. I can't especially for men Being a provider and now they feel like I can't provide because I'm stuck in this chair or I'm stuck You know not being the person I used to can be that's the reason I work so hard now So when it comes down to that point to where I can't work I didn't work hard enough to where I got residuals coming in No residuals going to take care of my family. That's right. And I and people see me sometimes. They were like, oh, let me help you No, I got it. I didn't been on stage with yin yin twins and I failed in the middle of the In the middle of the performance and when I fell off stage, nobody knew where I was but they still heard me rapping I was still rapping But they they you could tell they was trying to figure out where I was at and I crawled from up under the Stage and came back up on stage and went back in and I was still going so it's like, you know The thing is you just got to continue to grind at no matter what no matter what happened I love your spirit. I know ricky smile had a hell of a good time with you I already know he had a good time with you. I wish I could have been around to see that That would have been something to see Yes, you just got them you got to continue to like I say motivate people But I love I love where we're at right now because as I said, you know Growing up and seeing a lot of people who are disabled They weren't pushing to create a path for, you know, other people before them They were just sitting down and with a collective disability or not trying to do something with their lives But I have friends are no other people who are we got a lot of friends And they're on social media selling stuff doing different things and you know doing something It's a lot of deal with a lot of it deal with the parents The parents you got to find that talent that you're that your child into and you got to push them and you got to motivate them I had nobody The my mama like she knew what I did in the music, but she was like I ain't into all that rap You can do it But I would like my thing was I wanted my family to come out to see me They really wouldn't come in to see me But my thing was I took it as at first. I was like they're not supporting me Then I had to start thinking man. Let me look at it a different way They're they're supporting me in a tougher way But the thing is the people that you want to support from there You're getting tough to love from them So even the first thing you say they're not supporting me Well, they're supporting you in a way that you don't see it You may not be around and they be talking about you, but they may not come to your show The thing is I learned how to work so hard at my show to where I was so good at what I do People started going back and telling oh It was a little handicapped dude on the show man He was funny I don't know what he had a crutch and my sister there the whole time like that's my brother They were like that's your brother shoot. They were like man. He killed the show He was funnier than such and such. He was funnier than such and such And you know, you get a lot of time people like oh, you were funnier than such and such Well, the thing is when people come up to me and tell me oh you you should have been the headline of your funnier than such and such Well, I look at it nobody's better than to you. I was funnier than that person But we all set to show up to for the next person Correct The one person come out funny He's set it up for this person this person bring out the funny to the next level for the next person so we all set it up to For everybody to be funny is nobody's better than the next person On the tours that I've been on and that's one reason I picked my top three like that Hey, man Did your family eventually ever come out to see you? Yeah, they start coming. Well, see if I had to be smart My mama really ain't gonna come to my comedy shows because you know, I curse. Yeah, so I say, how can I get her? I start going to churches I stop Down in my mama be in the cross stand. I be doing a joke and she be I be looking at she be on the edge like Oh, I hope you don't Yeah, and I start I start going in into churches because my granddad and is r.r.p to him, but it's like He wouldn't he always tell me keep going doing what you're gonna do and for, you know, my grandpa Every time I would show up to do a comedy show at a church He'd always be talking my grandson. He's good. He's good and I did the lee wiilliams farewell tour Um and my granddad was there. He got a chance to see me perform and I I did comedy when he passed away I was about to make I I got my shows mixed up the day of the funeral and the day he passed away I had a show an hour right before they told me and I still went on stage and did the show But for the funeral since I didn't make it I recorded myself doing the video And I sent the video in nobody knew I was doing it, but I knew the preacher I said, look you got to play this video for my family And I I did a comedy set on my iPhone and I sent it and they played it at the funeral and Wow man, that's a touching story.
