Man, listen man, this guy right here, I bought with Memphis, right? Cali K Dub is in the building. What's going on, man? What's happening? Man, I'm so happy to have you on the show, man. I appreciate it. Sometimes the universe just align and get a nigga right in where it needs to be. You know what I'm saying? I've been dealing with the comedians, man. And I love it, bro. Like when I started my podcast, at first I thought I was going to be a rapper my damn self. I had so many of them on here. But then all of a sudden it changed shift. And I just started dealing with all the comedians. And I was like, you know what? This is a little bit better, man. These niggas leeching and they getting paid so they ain't really frustrated like a lot of the rappers, you know? Let's go in, man. So, okay, I like to get into your background. Okay, I like to get into your background. I know you from Memphis, right? Born in Mississippi, raised in Memphis, raised in Milwaukee, been in Atlanta. All over? Cleveland. In the Delta. All right. Yeah. So raised with your mom and dad? They was both of us around. Why you say it like that? Because they both was around? I've seen them every other day. Okay. Siblings? Yeah, there's eight of us. Dang. Where did you fall into eight? Number two. Number two? Wow. I was the first boy. So you know they treated me like shit, you know? No. Yes. The oldest boy, get out the way. Yeah, he don't really get that. No, but when it first came, you was everything when you first came. No, but it was one came a year and some change back. Before I knew it was or something as a baby, I wasn't a baby no more. I was the baby no more, quick. So how is it like being raised with your mom and dad in the same household? Because a lot of people sit in that seat, it's always like single parent households. My mom and dad went in the same household. My dad was right there. Oh. When he left, he was still right there. Oh. Yeah. So he was still a part of your life? I was a great son. Okay. I was a great son. He was there. My mama back then, I guess she was 22, 23. Okay. She might say your dad this, dad that. I wouldn't have found him. I wouldn't like a mama boy suck a nigga to listen to what his mama said. I still went out and found a man that went with this woman. I got to go with him, too. Oh, wow. I did it all on my own. It wasn't like he would come. I would find him. Because it was easy down there, Mississippi, to find him. If she took us up to Milwaukee, where we in Memphis, I still knew where to find him. Okay. I knew exactly. His mama, his sisters, all of them. They here. They was at the show Thursday. Wow. They all in Dallas. That's awesome. The only reason for that relationship, me, solely me, not the grandma, not the mama, me. I put my daddy's side of family right there beside me. So yeah, that was what it was. Wow. That was good. But did you feel, because sometimes, because I do that with some people, but then sometimes the pressures are heavy because when you're trying to bring families together and people together, and sometimes they don't want to do it right. That's because you don't want it to work. Like, whenever they do that bullshit, just eat it up. Like, it won't be nothing. If they don't kill you, or steal you, or rape you, just eat it up. Eat it up. So it's like, whenever my mama used to do it, she didn't got that kind of pressure. She was like, fuck them. I was like, nah, nah, nah, nah. So I always stayed with that family thing, and all of them love me. They love family, don't you? Yeah, when you ain't family, then it's a different thing. When you ain't really blood, you know, I don't think blood, I mean, I don't think water, nowhere close to blood. I think blood is what it is, and that's it. You know what I mean? Family, I tell people, I say, I slap one of my family members before I slap a nigga in the street because I know my family member ain't gonna kill me. That's true. So you know what I mean? But you hear stories about family members getting out of them? Yeah, but that'd be that. But I guarantee you, us three don't know one of our family members who we think will kill us. No, we don't. No, we don't. Exactly. Niggas will say they'll do something, but then these niggas back off and shoot them family members. They'll go, I'll kill you when I see your nigga. Yeah. That's it. That's it. There with that finish line for you while they're saying it, man. I know this. Niggas ain't gonna blow up nothing that ain't gonna do killing like that. I get a little bit like that and I know I love my devil. If somebody touch him, I'm gonna go to jail. That's right. That's right, man. So you was a daddy's boy. You wasn't a mama's boy. You saw that? I wasn't gonna ever be. When I heard that word when I was young, I knew it. You didn't like it. I knew I wasn't gonna go in that direction. Nothing soft about me. I knew all I needed my mama was to be that vessel to hold me in there. When I jumped out and could smell that air, like I said, knew it was a... Man, I've been in it. I actually, she knows it. She gonna see this if she don't. I'm gonna show it to her. I've been able to go outside and stay out there all night since I was about six, seven. Seven years old. Six, seven. Ain't nobody ever told me come in the house when the lights come on and all that. I ain't never heard that. I remember vaguely hearing it when I was about five. My mama told me bring the big wheel in the house. Who's living in Milwaukee on Locust? You're in the country. That's why. No, this is Milwaukee, man. Milwaukee wasn't a country. Milwaukee is Chicago. Yeah, that's right. If you ain't never been, then that's what you'll lack. Milwaukee is a city. City, yeah. Okay. Milwaukee is probably most city than any city in the nation. Like, really kill us, real Milwaukee. I hear that. It's a small Chicago, same template. But these are probably the most proper-speaking people in the whole United States. They speak the language better than anybody. It is. Wisconsin people. Yeah, yeah. They speak the, they speak well. Yeah. I think, you know, when I look at just, just Milwaukee, I think about, like, Pimping Ken. Yeah, cause I don't hear from them. That boy we interviewed the other day, yo, what's up, Balsa? Oh, you know, what's that? Two, one, four. Two, one, four, something. Yeah, real. Four, one, four. Two, real. Yeah, he was just on the show. He go hard. But, man, so, how did you end up breaking up into comedy? Into comedy, yeah. But, see, you think about it, the nigga was outside, from a kid, he done seen a lot. The nigga done seen everything. You know what I'm saying? Seen and did at that point. And did at that point. About 12. Yeah, as I about to say, you been in the streets? About 12. I had seen all that, they rap about it, I already seen, I already put crack on my tongue when I was 11 years old. Yeah. I already knew it, it made your tongue. No. But that's how you didn't succumb yet. I couldn't because my cousin in front of me, my cousin behind me. Right. Like I'm like the eighth grandchild that the seven and the nine succained. None of my siblings, because they watched me. None of my siblings, you know, it was eight of us, my grandma had nine kids. But the ones, kind of like, all of them be in prison time. But I didn't succumb because my mom messed around and was putting that comedy out there, laughing at that comedy. And then I was in school and they were laughing at me. But it ain't like I knew what comedian was. I ain't even know what funny was, being myself. Now, he being so funny at just being witty. Yeah. Yeah, just being witty. You come up in a time, who was, who was hot when you first came into the game? When I came into the game? Yeah, when you first came into the game. The hottest person in the world? The hottest person. Chris Tucker. Chris Tucker won it. Yeah, just did rush hour too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a bad boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chris Tucker was the hottest just died down a little bit. Kevin was not yet. Chris Rock was on a little lower whatever. Jamie was on a little hiatus. Chris Tucker in that rush hour too. How would you, how did you end up just bumping in the comedy? Like when did you hit the stage? Or did you, cause you did the ground work. You couldn't, you didn't come in on the internet side of it. You came in, you came in on the, I gotta go on the stage and get it. I never was an amateur comedian. Like, you know how to go and open mic and stand up and talk. You know, it's like if you're 10 and you think you're supposed to get an apartment and pay the bills. If you get an apartment and pay the bills, then you 10 with an apartment and pay the bills. That's all I did. So when I graduated high school, 46 days later, I moved to Atlanta. But before that in ninth grade, they voted me class clown. It ain't like I told them to vote. I was chilling in October. School started in September by homecoming, which is a month or two later, they had me class clown and I had just been doing it. Damn. I knew them like that, but I ain't know them folks in Mississippi like that. Not that particular ninth grade class of 2000 class. Yeah. But that's crazy. In ninth grade, you know, you in the 12th grade, they be paying 10. Yeah, that's what I tell you people. But some of them get it. I tell them, I said I got rookie of the year. In the ninth grade. You be counting everybody at school. That's what I said. You, you got it. I remember, I was, so how did you get voted so early? I don't know. They just called me I was sitting in the class and they were like, they called me like, Lee Kelly to the, some, some to the library. And then when I got in the library, I seen old sexy nigger and I seen the old running nigger and I seen the Spanish-speaking nigger. So it was outstanding everything in every English, you know what I mean? And they were like, you class clown. You like I did it. I was like, no, I ain't something good. No, it's really just not nothing good. It is. It's good. It's great. Yeah. Because people recognize you for making people laugh at school. It's not a class clown. It's great. She from Jamaica. So they didn't have a little class clown. It's great. Okay. So no, you know, just it's great. So the girl, they brought up with Shonda James. They brought up and I knew she was funny to me. She was crazy to me like straight up a crazy nut. Like not like smart, very smart, maybe, maybe I must be doing something. So I left there and we went to Milwaukee. Mm hmm. Now we went to Memphis. So it wasn't really nothing funny right on Memphis that much. People was checking. Everybody was checking. So I picked up a little more skill because I still think Memphis, Tennessee is the most gunning, what they call it, ribbing, checking. I think nobody Jones harder than Memphis in the nation. I'd have been in the United States. I don't care if you put, take them nowhere. Nobody talk about the goblin man going to say, get your little shoelace on out of here. Everybody. The post office, the post office, the male man going to say, man, move the wreck of that goblin. I'm telling you, niggas know, niggas going to come in and say it. So coming to Memphis in the high, in the high school days getting that training and going straight to Milwaukee and talking different. That's what made me want to be a comedian more than anything. Yeah, yeah. But I said class 2000 early, but I had failed. And I was out of there. So that ain't never seen me in my life. Once out of my class went on to graduate, I wasn't finna go back to school with them folks. If you're waiting around to graduate, so I shot out of there. So I get to Milwaukee, see Latrelle Spiewer, nephew. He went to the senior high school. His nephew was a senior. Most popular is light skin, tall, niggas in the school. He played basketball. Think about it. You knew Latrelle Spiewer at the time that Spender Rims was out. Yeah. So this is the real paraded me around the whole school to my, yo, this nigga is funny. And like round about a month later, April, I did a show in the school with the staff. Killed it. I ain't had to kill it. You said being you. No, I ain't had to kill it. That's the misconception. You just got to do it. That's real. I did it. He had enough to do it. I look at the tape all the time. I have funny. I wasn't. But you did it. But I did it. But back then you was funny to everybody. Not really. Even when I, just one thing you can't do. It's subjective as you want it to be. Funny is real. The timing and the premises was not there. So no, it wasn't. You can be as nice as you been forgot. When you say you. She nice. You got a nice one. Oh yeah. My wife, she be trippin' man. No, you was funny. She wasn't even there. You had to be funny after I get it. I did another one. I did another one later too. No, because you know how people always say, you know, when they look back on when they first started and all of that. They're like, oh no, rappers do it all the time. I wasn't good. That's trash. This, this, this, this, this, compared to what they're doing now. So I can imagine comedians looking back on what you did back then compared to what you're doing right now. Yeah, but it's on film. And like I said about comedy, it's moved me. I know, you know, nothing about it. Even if you think you watch a lot of it and you grew up with one and you date one, until you go on that stage and do it for real for a minute, then you're going to figure it out like, whoa, he's okay. Yeah, that's why he got a million dollars. And that's why there's so many teased across and I have to die. What's the hardest thing about being a comedian? Originality. K-dub. Let's, let's cut that. Kelly K-dub is in the building y'all. I want to, I got to ask you about like, it's a lot of dudes been on here that's comedians that say when they go on stage, a lot of these older comedians, when they go on stage, they basically tell them they can't, when they, when they leading the way for them. They say they can't be as funny because they don't want to be too funny. Then the guy that's coming behind them. How do you deal with that situation? Well, it never happens. I know what they're talking about. What happens is an older comedian probably be telling them in a good way, yo, my dog, you doing all this hackass materia. Sometime the comedian coming in front of one that sat here and said that. Yeah. His materia is so shitty and unoriginal to whether the headliner got to be like, yo, I'm already doing this unoriginal hack shit. You can't do it too. I got to get to 45. You only got to do 20. Let's not go up and talk about eating ass and eating chicken. And fucking the bitch from the back and the house. I got to do that. Say that for me. I got to do an hour. So they don't kill the crowd? Like what if they don't kill the crowd? Trust me. Any comedian that says that I ain't I ain't seen them who said that they got to understand they got to come up with a joke that nobody else do in the headlining on talk, dude. You go back and watch me. I got a joke about a hash brown. You don't know nobody with a joke about a hash brown. I got a joke about a dog with no legs. I was the first person to do that little self-checkout machine joke with this. I did that on bad boys or comedy. We taped that at 03. Damn. So my jokes are always I got this joke I got this joke about my daughter. She's gay. And that's where I met with it. You feel me? Yeah. So yours always is your jokes and they're so original to you that the headlining ain't got to talk to me because he's going to look at me like oh that dub. He's going to look at me with his ass over there. He's going to ram alone and like I do. I don't sound like him. I don't sound like nobody. A lot of these comedians be funny but that's where I talk shit to them. I said it on big fact nigga comedians can suck a dick. You unoriginal ass nigga 94% of them are very very unoriginal and everybody know it. Damn. 97. 97. But they always they always say as much as you think that you the only one go through certain things you not the only one go through certain things say if another comedian from somewhere else come up with the same joke that you have You really can't. You really can't. You telling me that's impossible. Yes it really is like a fingerprint. It really is. He's stillin'. He heard it. He's stillin'. That's all. He's stillin' about as much as you sneak and fart in public with somebody in the round. He's stillin'. Okay. He's stillin'. If you original when I was looking because I researched you somebody it was a woman said that you took me. Yeah. No I said a woman took my joke. Okay you said she took a joke big ass funk head but she knowin' for that. Okay but at the end of the day she knowin' for that she apologize for her. You've had people to take your joke. Apologize. But you've never took you've never used nobody I have been on original before and I've never took nobody's joke but I have used stock jokes plenty of times in the 50s. That's when I said that headline I said hey don't you be so hack. But when I go like if somebody come to see me tonight we're gonna be at the Arlington Improv. You're not gonna see shit hack in there all that is great material but these motherfuckers go up at the Arlington and be hack. Maybe somewhere down in clean Texas after doin' an hour why I might fuck round and say the skin on your elbow the skin on your nothing the same skin they've been saying that joke since the 30s of 40s Mantan mollin and all them boys back then. Wow I gotta ask you about the internet thing I always this is the question that originated from boss talk 101 that all comedians get asked on here you basically a guy that came up before the internet phase was in you have internet comedians that basically do skits do quick jokes they're making a different amount of money than what they used to make when they first started do you feel like they're funny as the same funny that you guys do I always say the same thing it's like it's like your mama cooking and the chef cooking but they both is good a chef bringing shit out all pretty the right way and your mama get it together consumption the way she like it the way she know how so that's the internet comedian the mama cooking then as a chef the comedian me I know how to whip it up and internet comedians so necessary they bring so much into the comedy world to go out and tell somebody that you a stand up comedian is a big that's a reach that's a hell of a reach for a lot of them you think it's a different no I'm saying that you can go on to be a stand up talk look at bruh man these niggas weren't no comedians they just went on Tony not saying he saw his brother that's my guy but his brother was doing it he started bruh man said you know what I ain't acting as much why don't I get this money that's out here DC young fly was on the internet and he went and got that money he's getting better at stand up he's becoming a great comedian country wind did I say that out I ain't seen it and when I look at it I will give my opinion on it but still that not going to make him any less to his fans because he bringing some people that probably wouldn't have never went to a comedy show out that's true even if I have my opinion on that special I still salute country wind regardless it ain't no way where I can't salute him for what shit me but for him one thing you said early on up there is big when a person can go out in the front but to build up to be on a Netflix special to come from where he come from doing the skits like he was doing to being up there on a how long they stay on there 45 minutes an hour they up there on a Netflix special about an hour ain't depend on how long you want to do that will go for me whatever Chris did the characters on his thing I want to see the buddy you want to see it so that's all really matters you know what I mean because that's who that's what made him you know notice to me now that ain't everybody might not be like that but for me those characters on that stage would be a that would be a a plus for his you know for his fan base because they already love him you know what I mean so I saw seeing him act like he these guys like when we were when I did big facts and I said the thing about Desi Banks not being a comedian I didn't hear that part wait a minute you say he's not a competing no I said that on there and it was a little confusion about it yeah we we we was at Dave's show with Kevin Hart and it was a little confusion about it but you know everything got straight like when I said what I said was it wasn't about him not being he talked to me about it afterward and was like yo I really do need to get in there because it was just that vice sounded fucked up it's almost like you telling the woman you stank you need to get in there and do something to yourself and she would be offended by like I'm telling you she's going to bathroom and check and she realized that she is fucked so I'm like Desi you leading Atlanta UNDC not so much internet and I know what the fuck going on I tell DC DC just I just did Huntsville with DC two weeks ago paid me to watch it sit and tell me what to do Desi I ain't trying to get you to do nothing I just need I'm watching you too because I'm still around this motherfucker and I ain't around here for nothing so that that's big though that you reaching out to him though like that that's hard because that's say that you want to see him get back that's the same thing Phazon said that he was like I'm not saying that they not good I'm just saying your football coach don't come to you and say you doing a great job when you suck he telling you you got to get better and I'm going to show you how you know what I mean so that's really what you're saying if I got to get them better if I want to see them get better I got to do something about it I want to watch they sit it's definitely it's 50% selfish 50% unselfish what I mean is is that they're trying kids going to want to go to another pool they're going to get sick of my pool in the back yard so I called Desi Banks I called DC I called Duvall I'm going to drop these kids off I know you in here I'm going to let them jump your fence so I need everybody around me to get some money because I ain't got before they ate more they left so let me enjoy this shit and I ain't been in the game this long for you niggas not to blow up blow up motherfucker but it also pushes a lot of the older comedians because sometimes I would feel like I would change it up but if some younger kids come up and they're really good it pushes them to even push even harder well that ain't going to never do none because David Blaine ain't going to do a new magic trick and R. Killay ain't going to do another song and what else Diana Ross going to keep doing it ain't going to know how enough you're not finna force nobody to change up that great material you just got to see what they do different with it whoever who's left who's still out there doing it Franka Beverly he's tear doing it the same way ain't nobody ain't no new magic if you go to the circus you going to hit that tiger the same way at the same time because if you hit in the different that tiger going to tear his arm off because you want him to do something new they do the exact same the clown come out and cry the tears in the crowd at the same time them cheerleaders come out and do the same cheer to the cheerleaders it's the same cheers man well you talk about you talk about helping the comedians and so forth but those are when I think about desi banks and all of those people they're already well known are there any other comedians that are they're hard working that's been grinding that are not famous yet that you have an eye on that you watch them they ain't well known to somebody like us that's in the business but who they is and that's they you miss them a lot you know how known somebody you know how unknown somebody is as they get more famous I thought DC was real known back in 2015 I thought he was very very known and I look at his followers now I thought Tip was very very known in 2015 because Tip had 2.7 million followers in 2015 now in 2023 he got 14.8 so I thought that he was very known then so it's just like what are we doing very known how did you link up with Tip I gotta ask you that when I first moved to Atlanta back in old one oh two y'all linked up but it wasn't about it was just the family hustle you was on a lot of different stuff yeah but this is before the end but how did you mean in the magic city in the strip club oh that's sco-bubble rest in peace sco-bubble sco-bubble walked this by like it was probably in 2001 this before trap music and all that I'm actually in that album trap music my name is Ishton that album comedian K.Dubb and Roland Powell love do-all nard hosting rest in peace and shawty shawty what my name shawty shawty and folk comedians that's in that on that album on that album but before then sco-bubble like this my man T.I. right what that that name this like the homeboy Joe John so it don't ring so I look around I like yeah what's up tip stand there you got the hat you know he definitely a motherfucking I can't lie the bravado was hell I still look at that it still it made me put my back up straight like that is serious this nigga and I ain't saying this and trying to talk in hindsight to try to make it fit it but I still didn't think he was no rapper because he was too light-skinned for me you see what I mean see it it didn't matter he ain't like I he ain't like I respected him he ain't like I only were light-skinned rappers no he wasn't out only light-skinned kind of like was goddamn bone thuds and harmony them more boys them up there moving around even though there's some darkened ones up in there but no no no we gotta think about it we gotta think about it let's not I didn't listen to New York music like that period I never listened to New York music until I moved to Atlanta no new New York music I never heard of until I moved to Atlanta why because I just didn't hear of it it didn't get a play he was boss talk too this is my guy right there he telling the truth no I ain't saying it because of that I'm telling you I came up in Mississippi Memphis in Milwaukee up down through there I didn't hear none of that me with I didn't hear none of that I didn't hear I didn't I remember hard knock like cause my cousin one of my friends played it and I didn't know who sang it I didn't know which one in New York niggas was rapping I didn't know I didn't really care it wasn't my thing I was like in Scarface I was like in Mafia player fly I was rocking with Bone I like Tupac of course I didn't care where he was from I like you know I just liked anything that was coming A-ball and MJG yeah yeah so I had enough yeah Tim C oh yeah and he liked Ken too yeah there we go he didn't talk like a Lyske and I really never saw him until later no the music cams I didn't see them I didn't know who they was selling doping 89 I didn't know who they were yeah I just liked that voice and that little tone if you were saying that was New York to me yeah it was all about that time time it was all about that A-ball and MJG Scarface Scarface was stupid Scarface the first rap I ever learned the lyrics it was stupid with it I never learned the lyrics but but I think I might have got a hold of New York I moved to Atlanta in July of 01 and they had they had took over Atlanta so when Jay-Z be with Nas that was my first introduction to it for real who won that who won that battle well you know Nas won Nas is one of my top 5 favorite rappers it ain't that I don't like when I said real I don't listen I never did listen because I got older and ventured into it I know what's what now you can't a New York person couldn't call me a dummy on the topic because I picked it up in the last 20 wow that's hard man like back to so when you you and Tim how do y'all maintain this relationship all these years I think it okay let's go back to that I met him I looked at him Skobubba said it's T.I shook his hand he was a gentleman I tell you you can't say nothing bad about him to me like you really can't it's nothing you could say about him I say stuff about him all the time I talk shit but nobody got nothing to say about him and he was a gentleman then a gentleman now same type of person and I look behind him and see the damn girl from escape that's what made me be like oh shit didn't even must be gotten something going on he got to have something going on cause you know that was my fate that was my little little person from the group you know what I mean I was like you know but man the man was so like what they call him trying to find a word he was more into it than I was indeed I'm not trying to act like yo honestly he know me now I honestly didn't didn't give much of a fuck like that now when we did get back together I did look him in the eyes and was like yo we gotta work this is 2013-14 after the jail a couple of times because in between dealing him from with 01 to about 03 once he dropped off a band man tip kind of like got out of that he kind of got out of there he kind of went on a whirlwind and I see him every now and then catch up with him he was still that same gentleman yeah yeah yeah yeah out of there mount up that one then in between between 03 07 I might have seen tip twice and then he got locked up and then he got out and I might have seen him two times between 07 and 01 you know he went to jail two three times he got out then he went back again went right back yeah he did two three different things that I know of in Atlanta I know two three different beats and that last time he got out I didn't see him no more and I went out to Charlotte to do a comedy show okay I was a semi finalist and while I was in a hotel trying to get a form you know you get them free from the hotel you got to fax the form and fill it out and take it to the front I look at the one that saw his security guard running by it was 2013 I ran out there left the form and he was trying to find a park on the streets for that truck yeah I was like where y'all going I got that number because I ain't been doing him for years outside of tip got the number met up with the strip club got the number thing I said we got to work man I said I know you been having your blah blah blah blah but we got to work yeah and it started then man so everything that going on now it's not no fluke at all not no fluke the comedy thing I jump into that did you did you see that comment or did y'all talk about it or cause he y'all talked about it y'all talked about it so he always wanted to do comedy I met him I met him in Madison City but I met him in the comedy club I got to know him he was coming on his own and we could stay in that comedy that was a fixture they were furniture in there he liked the comedy cause he's had a never he had the night with lil duvall tripping on Tuesday I met also tripping on Tuesday I met him with lil duvall when I told him I met him lil duvall say hey ti somebody when I took a picture when I seen the nigga on comic view or something you know I seen him on BET and I was like damn lil duvall you know and I was like I already took pictures of the ti say look nigga I'm famous somebody want to take a picture with me he had dredge in the damn he we was at the Caesar's Palace I'll never forget that I was like this nigga he didn't know nobody that time he had the 040506 0707 yeah yeah he didn't know nobody I'm telling you he was new who that duvall he was famous he was famous he was famous that's why he knew him he was famous he just was cracking a jar with tip oh yeah I got to know duvall in 01 so he was already famous he ain't mean he ain't mean I'm the one that ain't camera ready he ready I've been on more shows than duvall well so he was just messing with ti no I was messing with ti too I was in the videos too I'm telling you duvall been famous since the first time he ever went on an open mic stage everybody from the open mic went home and told everybody in his spread because I started on one and my classmate knew who duvall was that's why and I used to be with duvall I was on this first when I first met him he was super famous and probably rich and I told him he was like I'm famous too he was messing with ti because I'm like what the hell is he talking about he was super famous and probably rich I bet you he had a big chain I got the picture somewhere I bet you he had a nice diamond I bet you he had a nice diamond I bet you he had a nice diamond duvall has been famous since I started I started in July 01 people taking pictures with him there so was he good to you when you seen him stand up on that stage you knew he was good I knew he was a star first time I was seeing duvall I knew he was a star that bring me to something like I heard you say that you don't think Tracey Morgan was up where that's me but shit fuck that I mean shit I don't think that's just your opinion it's pretty she look like a horse what the fuck they got to do with the brothers that's just my opinion and yes I always thought that but there ain't nothing he's not funny I always thought Tracey Morgan wasn't that funny back then did you ever see him do stand up yes but everybody else loved him not everybody everybody in the world don't love nobody I said that on there because I just that's my assessment that I didn't think coming up that he was that funny I always knew he was getting it I saw him getting to it and then when you watch Marney had a couple of good episodes on that to me but that just me you don't give a fuck about what I think but Kevin Hunter saying he came up slow but go he came up good but he came it was not like that at first he even said he started what don't listen to what they say Kevin was famous back then when I met Kevin when we did Bad Boys a Comedy when we did Bad Boys a Comedy we did 36 of us take in the United States Puffy picked 36 comedians from around the country Kevin Hunter walking through there like he owned the place back then that was in July of 03 we taped that at the Bam Harvest Theater up there in Brooklyn and those three Kevin Hart was walking through there like he owned the place Puffy was in there cussing somebody out security had his arm on the door like this security was like on the door leaning on the door Kevin Hart walked under his arm damn that's just what I seen that has nothing to do with somebody told me Kevin I saw him walk under it I ain't walked under nobody to secure the arm what you about to have no okay so with comedy there's a roadmap to how you do this right what you mean like I'm new come in to comedy there's a structure no there's no structure the template is the same template to be a good real estate agent it's the same thing is to get out here and network and be known and do good business good product we might say originality right if you mess around and do some original jokes and be and talk shit like me you'll fuck around wind up on boss top top at least feel me just have some original material who has the out of all of the comedians you've ever watched who has like the most out of the way comedy that you've ever seen the most original cause a lot of people come up with their own original JB smooth I would say JB smooth shout out JB smooth he's a he's a bad motherfucker man he's one of the most I'm still thinking as I go but he's one of the most original he got a joke about a police in the country with no car and chasing the car with a flat light you gotta watch him do it he just go he I need to put him on my list a lot JB smooth yes man he was he's probably laughing at a comedian I probably have to him the hardest downtown Tony Brown from Detroit JB smooth he's a comedian that you still know your favorite comedian couldn't stand next to him really no it couldn't what type of comedy do you like to watch cause I know there's everybody does different kinds of comedy what's your most favorite type I like fast paced comedy I like stories I like anything that's original that's the type right there that is the type yeah you keep saying that that's all you need to know because you gonna mess around be laughing at somebody else joking I know it see we not laughing that nobody else jokes over you if you got to do your own jokes that's what that's mandatory that's your job you know all of that stuff when we don't know it you know it yes so we not gonna start at what type we want him to be first is it yours is it your idea that's for you know y'all might say oh he was funny though man get out of here what about Cory Holcomb yeah Cory Holcomb he's a good original comedian he's a bad motherfucker yeah yeah I would love to watch him because I know it's gonna be his perspective how he feel and he's gonna be as clever as he can he gonna pull it as tight as he can who is the funniest female some more I think hand down easy easy who is the most funniest white boy my type white boy is Robert Schimel but then you got a Bill Burr who's a Robert Schimel is dead but Bill Burr is probably number one I mean how you feel about Gary Owens Gary Owens funny too that's my guy the first person never gave me a chance had to be a white boy wow really that Gary Owens the first person that would let me feature in a comedy club like a real comedian wow when did that happen happened in uh in 02 uh uh
