For three years. So I was like, he's fascinated with the lifestyle, I think. I think that's what it basically is. But like I said, the lifestyle, it's got to be really in you and not on you. Yeah, it's a thing that I couldn't ever really understand. From a kid, my family from up there. Yeah, but like I said, you said you're gonna send somebody to get me like, no, you ain't. We were fighting. It was funny to me, man. I didn't see everything. I don't see everything moving around here. You sound like him, that's how he- Oh, but that's just, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

We live in this family. We're going to Atlanta, I don't do it with nobody. I don't see it when they are far removed, you know. They don't know nothing about what's going on. You know what I'm saying? All right, so you know, but yeah, for me to stay at your crib, it's not, it takes a lot. Yeah, yeah, I can't do it. You know, first I got to get up like a grown man. Oh, I'll be up all through the night. They're going to be mad at me. I'm going to set the alarm off. All that's happening. He want to get up and go when he want to go, come in when he want to come in. I want to go get a taco at three in the morning. There you go, I'm crazy. I don't have to be, oh, you got to put the code in. Knock on somebody door. Can you let me? Hey y'all, what are the keys of the top lot? I don't want to do none of that. None of that. I want to just slide my card and go in there and get my taco come back. So, man, how's Dallas, man? So how's the show, man? You killing it. Dallas, man, we got it. First of all, we got, you know, some really good. We got Miss Amber. You guys saw Amber? Yes, sir. You know, with her musty ass. Yeah. Comedy. Comedy Bay. She's hilarious. Yeah. I've been known for years. Yeah. I've been telling her we was going to go on a road, so now we're putting it together for a bigger show this summer when all the COVID shit gets rid of it. So we're going to do theaters. Do you think it'll ever go away? Yeah, it's got to because it's going away. But the time, man, I tell you. You're not seeing it, but they're going, okay, the bullshit is, okay, the bullshit's over. No, all these variants keep coming in. No, that's the bullshit they keep coming in. You know, we got the two-pot variant, you know, the Charleston variant. If you notice, if you look at television, look at the sports game. Nobody got a fucking mask on. At all. Even when we go to the grocery store or go anywhere, people are not worried, oh, did you get your shot? Everybody's saying that they got a shot, but I guarantee you all these people haven't gotten their shot. Listen, somebody in this room got one. Look at her, look at her, look at her. You know it's a big diva out of there, boys. Her arm is fucked up. Her feet hurting, she can't wait to take their shoes off. I'm like, yeah, if you look at the sports games and all that stuff, you know what gave it away last year when Milwaukee won. Okay. If you look at, now this is pretty much still, we're in the thick of it, right? Milwaukee, there's 60,000 people outside. That's a lot. Not one of them looking at a mask on and there was no outbreaks. What does that tell you? They never said, oh, there's outbreaks. Have you really never seen, you hadn't seen lately a big outbreak nowhere? Listen, since the beginning, and I had COVIDs early. How did it do to you? What did it do to you? It fucked me up, it was fucked up. It was fucked, I thought I'd never seen some guards again. I was, it fucked me up. You didn't have to go to the doctor, man. Why do people go to the doctor, man? That's why you should need to go. It's where they got more COVIDs. Exactly, why don't they just go to the doctor when they get it? When they get it, I'm like, what are you doing? They gon' give me some soup. They have nothing for you there. Everybody say, how do I get over it? Dritz, that's it. Man, I talked to Freeway when I was in LA and he was like, I talked to this doctor and he showed me the doctor and the doctor said, you just need high, how would he say high volume vitamin D? High vitamin D, but it was like real, real high volume. I'm like, he's like, the people calling him from the hospital saying, hey, he said, how's your vitamin D level? Well, tell him to give you some vitamin D and they out the next day. I'm like, really? You telling the doctors what to do now? Because they, the doctors, there's a doctor that fixes you and a doctor that bring you along. You ever seen the fat person go to the trainer? Yeah, yeah. And the trainer's like, okay, do five of these. All right, I'll see you tomorrow. That's his money. Exactly. The money can't go away. Once that person lose weight, he ain't got no job. He's screwed. So if he keep doing this bullshit, I'll see you next week. And the guy thinks he's getting better and thinks he's getting skinnier. No. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. It's like, you gotta do that shit on your own, but they're not fixing you. Yeah, yeah. I hadn't seen people just... But everything is just a money-making venture, just like even with organics, is they eat organic everything. But how are you so sure it is really organic? It's because it says organic on the package. But that's a hustle. I love a hustle. All that shit's a hustle. I love it. Listen, the airport, right? Yeah. First class is always first class. That ain't good no more. Now they got clear. Clear goes... In the airport, you gotta get to keep going straight through. I've never gotten that away. Yeah. So I'm like, well, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah. So you just overtruck first class by adding this with this with the 40 bucks. Like, you know, like they can't afford 40 bucks. Like, are you crazy? You know what I'm saying? Y'all looking at my old school? I don't know. He went over him. That's the first time I've had anybody to go over here. No, they're trying not to be in the camera. They're trying to angle. I'm gonna say, I've said I ain't never had them. I've been doing this for a year now. That's the first time I'm on a show, man. That's a home show right there. This ain't the one in the corner. It's most good. I'm with you. I'm confused. It's all good. So, man, I'm trying to stay away from new questions. Everybody wanna ask, like every interview. Most niggas I interview be like, man, I got the same questions every interview. I can't really stay away from them. Well, I like to know, like, I like to go back. I like to know as a child, were you always this funny? I was a bad kid. My father was funny. He was. My father tells some stories. I was like, we would just listen. What's the funniest story he ever told? Oh, this is what he told us. He tells his story every year about how he joined the Navy. Him and Johnny Boyd was fighting in Harlem. And the dudes got the whip and they asked, and they were running. They kept running. And he ran, him and Johnny Boyd running. And he ran to the Navy, the Brooklyn Navy Yard. And he said, I'm gonna join the Navy. He said, Johnny, I said, what Johnny Boyd do? I said, he went and he joined the, some shit. The way he did, I can't even tell a joke here. But the way he do it, it's going in. But that's how he joined the, he went to Vietnam. Running from, running from, running from the, Yeah, from the fight. And ran into a fight. So you came up, you was born in San Diego. No. Yeah, you were born in San Diego. That's what I heard. That's all you heard. No, no, I was raised in San Diego. I was raised in San Diego. So where were you born? Cause the Naval base, not a damn Naval base in San Diego. So I'm like, okay, yeah. Are you in, are you in? No, I just know where to say, can we go up there? No, we've been out there. We've been traveling, man. Yeah, I was raised in San Diego. Yeah, I was raised in San Diego. I love San Diego. It's so beautiful. I like it better than LA. I'm sorry. I love it better than LA. Cause the beaches. Two different animals, right? The beaches. The beaches hang out. Yes, I like the beaches. Clean, white, sand beach. Yeah. The beaches in LA got a little gearing on it. No. I remember the first time I went to LA. And you know, you're looking for the beaches. And me from Jamaica, I'm looking for Jamaica beaches in LA. I've been dealing with this for a long time. So I read my swimsuit jumping and I'm ready to jump in the water. And I'm like, Hell no. I realize why people be wearing them suits. It is so freezing cold. It's cold. And I'm looking at everybody on the beach like, why is everybody laying on the beach in clothes? Oh no. It's a beach. But it's some people that have jumped in there. I've seen them. What? They call white people. They don't give a damn, man. They would jump in that day. That's crazy. No, listen. You go to the beach in LA and hang out on the boardwalk. You don't, you know, walk up there. But in San Diego, you can actually go there and get in the water. Water's cold too, but sometimes it's warm. No, because I went in the water in San Diego. It was really, really nice. Yeah. I love that atmosphere. It depends on what time of the season. We always go like July, August. Yeah. It's not bad. There's some murky water down there too, but it's not like Jamaica and you know, all the Antigua and all that, it ain't like that. Out of all the places you've visited, what's the most beautiful place you've ever seen? It's gotta be between Bora Bora and South Africa. What is it about those two places that you love? Well, Bora Bora, you can literally see the bottom of the ocean. Really? Yeah. Like we're... Like a glass bottom, like you go in a glass bottom boat? No, no glass bottom, you look over the side and depending on where you are, how deep deep it is, and you can see like the sandy bottom. Wow. Sharks, I asked some of my friends, we went out, we were out there, and these ones decided they wanted to go scuba diving. Never took a damn... Lesson. Lesson. They just put the shit on and went down there. And these sharks was just... And they swam with the sharks. They swam with them, feeding the sharks. He's the happiest shark ever. I would never. I'd be scared. I'm going to go and... Oh no, trust me. Yeah, I was like... They're friendly sharks. They said the shark is full. You think it's fair for that? Okay, where are your friends white or black? They white. He the one black guy with a morning life. Boy, I said, somebody got a little tell this. They're going to believe me. They're going to think I killed you. I mean, so acting, man, how'd you get into acting? Bro, you... I love your movies, man. Anytime you in there, man, I'd be like, this nigga here crazy like me. You got to be crazy. This ain't real life. He ain't acting. I watched one last night. I didn't even know you were going to be in there. Which one was it? It was She Hoop with Nick Cannon and Chris Brown was in there and stuff like that. I was like, look at you. It's Koffers Retreat for me, my nigga. Well, that's Bora Bora. We filming that. Oh, really? Okay. Ooh, that was a good... I loved it, bro. Like... Yeah, to be a part of that is awesome. Yeah, it got to be. Yeah, that's like... We were out there when Obama was elected. Okay. So it was me and... God damn it. What's her name? She played my ex-wife. Oh, yeah, the one that was on Sisters on Shit. Yeah, I know that. She directs BMF right now. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. For real? She's a producer on it, too. She's B's mode. She's going to be... I'm picturing her face right now. She don't talk so much shit. Did she have a twin sister? Yes, she does. Hell, yeah, she does. Talk to the man. Yeah, talk to the man. Yeah, y'all were tripping. So, we need Tasha out there. Okay, is she exactly how she is on the show? Tasha's crazy as fuck. I love her. She's been crazy. I love those personalities. She's never changed. She's the same old Tasha. She's crazy as fuck. I love her. I love that person. She's been the same. I'll be a detective. She's doing a great job directing because she was teaching acting. I've seen her whole shit. Keep just going up. I've seen her whole shit. I'm like, I'm rooting for her. I mean, she's... That's awesome. Crazy. But the thing I can say about it is, you know, yeah, you're really good at these parts about acting that husband that just left, you know. You talked about that the other night. I'm like, oh, that nigga did that for real in the movie. So let's keep coming back. I was practicing. Your part actually fits like who you are. So did you have to prepare any for them roles? Well, it is it's not. It's I play a more square guy. Sure did, yeah. So I was playing. I don't play it phase on, got a little more edge to it. Yeah. Because I'm like, fuck that. I don't know. Like when she... I don't know what... Me and the director was like, I was like, he's like, well, what would you do if your wife left and you don't let it go? He's like, no, phase on. We got to go. We got to we got to act like we care. So he's like, she's left. She's gone, guys. I got to get her. So he's more of a square guy. Like I try not to play him a black, just a person. Yeah. But you and it's it's I've been that guy, the one or two black guys. There are the one black guy in the midst of that whole the white, the one black guy. He always get it's just one, maybe two, maybe two. But that's it. I've been that in carpet America. So when I see it, I can relate, man. Yeah. I mean, because you they said that a black man in business is is either invisible or schizophrenic. Because we got to deal with who's social and then we got to go home. Like, what's up, make a wall, right? You got to deal with both sides of the fence. They start to deal with that side. Yeah. Yeah. But the Robin Harris acting as Robin Harris, I wrote that down to ask you about that baby's kids, man. Yeah. How was that, man? It was awesome because the voice, right? Yeah. Yeah. Because they were planning to do a live version. OK. And then Robin passed. Yeah, I remember that. And then Warranty. I talked to Warranty Huddlin. And he was like, man, because I was doing that in my act because I knew Robin. Yeah. So I would tease Robin, you know, you don't put me on. So everybody knew I knew the voice. Yeah, I knew I did it because I would be on stage teasing Robin with it. And that's one way of hanging with him on stage, because he was a beast on stage. Yeah, yeah. Back then, you started on stage with Robin Harris, Damian Wains, Keegan-Ivy Wains, Robert Townsend, Martin Lawrence. Let's have a talent. Ricky, Ricky Williams, I mean, Ricky Harris was funny as hell. That was that was this one night line up. Yeah, you had to hang with that. Yeah, though, all those personalities, all in the same. Listen, they're all different. Everybody was different. Like even when you see Scruncho, you see Amber, they're all different. So that's that's why I like them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People only like her and be like him. Um. And I got a few other people that are like, we're too for this show. So so you change people all the time, every time, whenever you. Well, no, I normally keep it for a couple of years, but now we're going to do a bigger tour. So and what it is, is it's not that much. People don't want to be in them seats that long. They got a certain amount of time to laugh. If you if you drag it out, they're going to be like. All right, if you put different acts and everybody's giving you something different and they keep me laughing. I sit in that seat for as long as some people will. But you know, people in Japan, people are I don't know how you 26. That's a good compliment. I'm talking about you and I'm not a hundred. I'm not saying I'm in my 40. I'm not saying I'm in my 40. I'm older than both of y'all. No, no. Well, y'all say by by by a couple of years. You ain't going to be a big brother deal right there. Y'all are big. My brother's your age. Yeah, but that's your brother. Yeah, they try to jump in. Yeah, they try to come at me, you know, but you know, yeah. And I'm a little bit of a dude. You know, about six and a half. Oh, the short one is the worst. Got a complex and everything. Man, you got to fight. These things are not. They could just give it up. You lost, man. You lost, man. Speaking of that, uh, Cat Williams, man, we got to talk about cat. Man, speaking of short and fighting and all this good stuff. Yeah. So what's the deal with you and Cat Williams? I mean, uh, and Davies. Oh, no, um, cat. Y'all work well together. Um, listen, I'm from a, uh, uh, I'm a dinosaur. Okay. So where are we from? I think he said that he's this. He better be that. Okay. All the weird shit. You, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't sniff it out. Like, whoa, that didn't, that didn't make sense. Cat, um, won't just be a comedian. He wants to be a gangster. He wants to be a pimp. He wants to be a, let's listen to me. You got three jokes, nigga. This is going with that bush. Do you, you know, you know, and our shit came from this word. And this is the last time I'm going to say this. The people of you all, like, we get that make sure you get it. Um, our shit came from us going to try to put a tour together and, um, him, him thinking that I was not going to be funny. So where Amber is, you know, he's like, okay, I'm going to put it on, I'm going to say, okay, but I'm, I'm okay. Yeah, nigga, but I've been doing this before you. Okay. Yeah. I can tell you I was on stage robbing hairs. David Wings, we had to bring it. And what happened was I was smashing them. You know what I'm saying? He couldn't follow me. For sure. So that's where it really came from. The honest, he was like, oh, so he thought he was going to fuck with my money. I'm like, no, you're not going to do that either. You're not going to do that. You're not going to do that. I will choke you little nigga. You seem to be going to fight with a little kid. Yeah. Yeah. He couldn't have a little boy. It was, it was rough. It was going down. It was going down. That little boy took that hit to the dick. I'm really like, really? The boy looked at him like, huh? That was viral moment for sure. And you know, it's so funny when you're, when you work and you go good on core, he's a good, he could give you a shirt off his back. He could give you a shirt off his back. I mean, we're, we're in, I think we're in LA. I said, I think I'm buying me some shoes. So I'm, I'm at the counter and I want to go get some of these. No, man, I got these. I was like, I can't let you buy me those shoes. See, I got these. They said, I got these. So he takes his shoes and buys his shoes. I'm like, man, I can't wear them shoes. You bought me some shoes, nigga. But that's what you kind of knew he is. Yeah. He means well, but there's something other gets in the way. Like, I don't hate the nigga. He, when he, even when he pulled the gun on me, we was like, wow. Do you know these niggas will shoot you for real? What are you doing? I remember that now that you said. What are you doing? Then he got sugar involved and she was like, he don't know. I'm like, I know he don't know. What do you think? You think he'll beat me up? She's like, so I don't hate to do to have no, you know what I'm saying? It's just that one, that incident where he pulled a strap out of me, I was gonna, it was, it got bad. Cause I was like, don't you ever do that. That's something real serious. That's serious. Don't you ever do that. You're really endangering your life for real. No, no. It's go for what you know at that point. But I don't understand why people would even do that because one thing my daddy used to always say, if you go and pull it, you better use it. So, you know, pull in straps and try to frighten somebody or try to intimidate somebody. Like, why? That works with his people, the women he intimidates and all that shit. You know what I'm saying? But a real, you know, me, I'm like, man, what are you, you flame on mother fucker. What do you mean? What are you doing? Davey's, I don't know. He's just a kid. I call myself saving his life money bro. I saw you having two popular you. How, how are you a Crip? You know, that's, that's funny. You, you think about it. A lot of people, they, this, this, I say they just be playing. You know, like, like, They are. I asked the question yesterday to one of my guests. I was like, being from LA, how do you guys look at the Crips and the Bloods in the South? Or do y'all really take them serious? Or do, or wherever else? Cause it come from LA. Crips, this will be you. Crips are, you know, they're Crips, the E-Riggins. This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this. This, this, this, this, this, this. They have their own thing. Nah! What do you, what do you mean dogs? You know, it's a whole different thing. You can't just, this ain't a boy scout. You didn't grow up in my street. I know everybody. See your mama live. See your mama live. Your mama don't live, where your mama live? It's a territory thing. How can you do that when you're not in those areas? You know what I'm saying? You have to grow up on your street. Listen, you know, I see you told you, like, die for a street that they didn't even heard of. Right? So it was like, that's the only thing with the, I was just like, how was he, I was just trying to get some clarity about how was he at Crips. I know earlier you spoke about Robin Williams and I know that, hmm? Robin Harris. Yeah, Robin Harris. Robin Williams died of, yeah, he committed suicide. It's a whole different thing. Let's talk about Robin Williams, okay? Him being a comedian and passed away from, you know, mental illness and stuff like that. How serious is it to, cause you know, comedians, they laugh a lot, even when they're going through stuff. I really? No? No, I mean, no. In a congregation maybe, but most comedians are quiet, right? That's how you tell a bad comedian, cause the quiet is like, you know what I'm saying? If you're in a green room and the mother is quiet, then you have the one mother going, eh! He ain't gonna be shit. Oh, okay. Ah! But most, yeah, most, the brilliant ones are, it's not about Jokey Jokey. Jokey Jokey Jokey. It's like the ones that I was, you know, cause I just thought something was wrong with me cause I saw things differently. Like, you know, I didn't see it from a Jokey. Like, most of my, what you call jokes or not jokes, they're just storylines from my life. And I can tell that. We remember we seen Will Ferrell and he was quiet looking and I'm like, this nigga don't look like that. I want to see the nigga do the thing, you know what I'm saying? He was so serious when he saw it. I'm like, this thing ain't, that ain't the one. I don't, you know, it's like a dog on a cage. You just trying to figure out a way to poke him and get him to react. But that's how people are, when they watch you on TV and they see you, they think that that's how you are all the time. So when they see you in person, that's what they think they're gonna get. Listen, I work with the great Westie Snipes. Yeah, man. This summer. And this dude came up to me, you know, and Westie's a quiet dude. He just studying. Most people just studying, you know, just most artists are just studying people. Just studying, you know, and Westie was just, and I just said, hey! Needle world! Needle world! Westie's like, that's the way he go down. That's not me, brother. That's the character I play. I agree with that character. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, if you meet Mr. Snipes and then you meet Nino Brown, they're two different people. No, I get it. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. So, and that's what people want to go, do some karate. Mm-hmm. Blade! What's up, Blade? Mm-hmm. A big worm, same thing. There it is. But you see, when you're talking about a character, I was watching a podcast the other day, and I think I was watching Pierre. Yeah, right. And the guy that was on there was the guy who came in Jamie Foxx show. The tall, yeah. What's his name? I don't even know that. The tall, light-skinned one. What's his name on that? I don't, he didn't have a main role, so I didn't. I know, but he was talking about when you go for auditions, because no matter how big you are, you still go for some auditions and so forth. And when you walk in to get auditioned, and if the people who are there are calling you the character's name, he's like, that's the worst thing for him. It's different when you have like fans, you know, you're on the street and somebody come up to you and say, you know, big worm, but when you're going for audition and they call you big worm when the part that you are auditioning for it might be a action. Oh, I know what he's saying. Or it might be something else. He's saying that they're calling by a past character's name. Right, so they're already marking him off the list, so to say, because they're looking at you as a comedian compared to- I don't do auditions, I don't do auditions. How do you get down, like, when you get ready to get here? You gotta go. You gotta call you? No, they gotta, first, they gotta know. Yeah, no auditions, mother. You go to Netflix? I send them blockbusters. Go to blockbusters and you didn't see a reader or anything, I can't act. Pick one, but I'm not coming in your little room. And act out for you. And suck some cock. I think when you're a vet in this, you don't have to. Some of them want you to humble yourself. Okay. But I'm like, fuck that, I got to stand up. I'm not doing that bullshit. We had to talk last night, which is, because I used to say when you, yeah, you like what? You do a movie with this white boy who's never done anything and they just cast him like, I don't fucking get that job. And you want me to audition? The fuck out of here? Kick rocks. And then what happens is, if you're playing poker, they're like, hi, the nigger. You know what I'm saying? It's poker, it's a game. So it was like, part of my strategy was just telling people, no, what do you mean, no? I said, no, I don't want to do it. Then they're like, that's it? You got it. Well, how much were you doing for? I said, I don't want to do it. That's that reverse psychology. That's that reverse psychology. That's really what it is. I don't want to do it. And the more you say no is the higher the price goes up. That's good stuff. But now, because acting is not the same anymore, the medium is not the same. Movies everywhere. You know, your phone in the bathroom, they, you know, you don't even have to go to the movies there. You just wait till you get it on and go click the movie. Yeah, all the movies aren't even going to the movie theaters anymore. They're going to Netflix and all of these roll-cruises. And Amazon and stuff. They don't have to. But what about the guys like, you do have different people that's finding new ways and new lanes like the country, Wayne and all those guys doing anything. Is that the same? Do you guys have the same respect? No, no, he got a hold. No, that's some other bullshit. Somebody told me, who told me he made a bunch of money? I was like, I don't. On Facebook and Instagram, videos and all that, that pay money. He makes some good money. See, I know what residuals get. Okay. I get residuals. What I did in 92, you ain't getting no residuals from that shit. No, you just get paid for what you get paid for now. From 92. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know how that's gonna work if when they start going, hey, dig it, do whatever he does. I'm like, what does he do? It's like he gotta get his money right now and then if something goes wrong, retire or jump into something else that can, or invest that money. Everybody going to a Bitcoin and all that. He's the main guy doing that, but it's a lot of other ones, you know, that's kind of following that whole trend. So that's a whole new thing. I said, I keep saying it, but I haven't seen nobody rich from it. He made a couple million from it. I don't know what he said, but I'm like, people I know that do this are in Forbes. Yeah. So it's like, there's a track record like, okay, no, this is a real check. It's a real check. Not like the, we heard check. No, well, when you Google him, it pops up. I know, when they Google that, there's a lot of shit popping up in there. But who me? You don't pop up on something, baby, you don't talk about it. There's a lot of shit popping up. Well, I'm saying track it for real. Track it for real. Yeah. It's like you said Bitcoin. Yeah. Right? Bitcoin was once 70,000. Now it's 60, how much it really worth? Right. What is the real worth of it? They've been trying to get me into Bitcoin for a minute. Listen, when Bitcoin was $1,000, I could have got, that's what you use. And you didn't get it. But I was like, what the fuck is it? That's me. You tell me what it is. I need to guarantee it's a gamble. I know it's a gamble. They don't want to tell you it's a gamble. Everything you do is a gamble. But it's investing in a ghost stock that oil is always going to be oil. Medicine is going to be medicine. Ham is going to be ham. It's going to vary, but it's going to always be there. AT&T, Coke, all these products are going to always be there. But when your product goes from 40,000 to 78,000, up and down, then what is that? That's for one coin. I can't lose, man. I'm like, give them 10,000 to get in. I say, okay. No, to get in what? That's why I'm trying to figure out. Like, it's serious. You're not even getting in. I got the old men calling me saying, we making millions doing it. And he told me, he told me, he said, if you give me 10, in three days it'll be 30,000. You know what I'm saying? Are you serious? I'm going to get 30. You know why? Because why don't he just do it himself? It was a guy sitting there. He was setting him up. We was in that lab, I bet he was. All I need, oh, you can make 15,000 in 20 seconds. If I give you 20, do I make 60? Because he's doing that. But it sounds too good to be true. You live. Have you ever heard of dope music? They got cocaine over here for 15 cents for a kilo. Why are you telling me? You're about to be over there. You're about to be over there. Why are you telling me? No, I was in it. Have you ever seen a football game and the other players are like, we about to run a 54 split? No. Why are you telling me you're playing? I'm going to do what? Okay. You want me to be rich too? Well, why don't you do me a favor. You take your money, invest it for me, and then when they make it, you just give it. Just as you want to give it away. It's a new pyramid hustle. And that's what I hate. I hate them. Everything is all pyramid. It's all. Everything is all pyramid. I'll be hating them. But it's like, it's legal now. Because you guys can create a Bitcoin yourself. You call it boss talk Bitcoin. Bitcoin. You know, it's up to 30,000. Whatever you're going to get, whatever you get people to believe in, that's what it becomes now. It ain't the brick and mortar now. It's what you say because everything's invisible. Yeah. And that's what they're saying. What you mean? Wait a minute, 70 million dollars. That's what I mean. Get in there. Because they're saying paper money is going to go away. It's been going away. And they say. Nobody's going to use cash. The value is gone. It's been going away. What are you talking about? You use credit cards. Yeah. You use debit cards. You know what I'm saying? I still love cash. Me too. We got it open. Yeah. Y'all are stunning though. See, that's the difference. Y'all pull it out. Yeah, I got my money. You got a car that's just more. What's going to happen to those people who, you know, didn't trust the banks, didn't trust cars and sticking money underneath their mattresses? What's going to happen to that? What do you mean? Because. There's money still going to have no value. You're still people buying gold. Gold's never going to go anywhere. I know. People buy gold and keep, you know, there's other ways to do it. You know what I'm saying? It's not just the banks. I mean, you know, I'm a poor guy, so I don't know anything. You know, all I know is you've been working a long time, bro. I'm free. For free? Oh no. That dude is so ill. Free. So what's, okay, out of all the film that you've ever done, which one would you say is your favorite? Mine is made. Why? Why? Why? Because it's the first film ever written for me. And it started the whole elf couple's retreat. The same, right? John Favreau was a good friend of mine. He's, you know, he's created Iron Man and basically the Marvel world. All the Marvel movies. Thank you so much. The old man, the old guy. That's Stan, that's the guy who created the character. The character. The movies. The person who started Marvel films was Wesley Snipes. I've seen that. I've seen that. He was the first one. Yeah, it was, Blake was the first character. From that character came Spider-Man. Cause Marvel's stock was $2 in 1996. They were going under and Blake brought that shit back. Then they just Spider-Man and created Marvel Studios. And John did Iron Man and it went from there. Man, I love Marvel, I watch every single movie. I love me some Marvel. There's a new one coming, Spider-Man coming out of there. I know, I can't wait. I wanted to ask you about the blood from New York. How does that happen? We mean. You were a blood, but you from New York. Yeah, they say you started your career when you got initiated as a. Well, no, no, no. No, no, yeah, it was a. How you gonna tell me? No. No. God sent me this question. He said, man, he started in New York. I said, what? I thought they from L.A., how he end up over there? We used to go back and forth from New York. Okay. Now that makes sense. My family's gone back and forth from New York. Cause let's talk about Dave East. I have family in New York. I used to live in the Bronx. Okay. We used to live in Harlem, but then we moved to California. We moved to California, standing on 72. Damn, you were young and I was young too. I was only one, you were five or four. 72, I was, yeah. You was five or four. Yeah. I just rode a plane back from New York. And you remember all of that? I had to, I used to have a picture of me on the plane eating a hot dog. Cause you ever heard of Rodney Alley Whippy? Rodney Alley Whippy. Sounds familiar. Oh my God. Good, good. Rodney Alley Whippy represented Jack N'Bock. He's a little black kid. He ate a Heimberger. Yeah, I didn't know his name, but yeah. I looked just like him. So people was like, it's Rodney Alley Whippy. It's Rodney Alley Whippy. I was like, eh. Eh. But I remember that as a kid, but yeah, my family going back and forth. Military. Military, well, it was just my mom and my father and then my uncle and my aunt and when my aunt just passed, they didn't have no kids. Okay. So my mother, they were trying to establish something. It was easy for me to stay there with them. They were like babysitters. Okay. So for six months I've been in New York and I come back and I got used to it. I was like, yeah, I don't want to go back to New York. So I was in New York when all this shit began. Ooh, that was a good time. Were you doing all that break dancing? Yeah, you were doing that. You did a little bit. You had to do a little bit. I was a DJ. Oh, so they got you out of it. I was out in the air. Wait, DJ's still got to do all of that? Oh no. I challenged KL from B-Bot about it. We were about to do it in here. This floor right here, I sent it up. You came. Oh no, I was. I was about to go in. I seen all that. I couldn't get up. Yeah, I would have been messed up. I used to see all that. They spent on the head? Oh, he broke his neck. I'm like, damn. You used to hear stuff like that. I ain't already break that neck. Oh, they used to break parts. This boy was serious. Windmill didn't hurt. Yeah, I was into it. I used to watch Crazy Ladies. They're the professionals. Yeah, I used to see them break the neck. I used to see them break the neck. They were some young niggas around. They couldn't do it right. I mean, I don't know, but these niggas was getting down. Because the California wasn't doing that. No, it was just up on the East Coast. Yeah, it was like, and they was the Pumas and all that shit. I was like, damn, Pumas, because we was wearing crocus hats. Yeah, different times. That's when they was doing the Kango hats and stuff like that. Kango hats. Right. Yeah, don't fuck with what your name is. Yeah, yeah. Big chains and all of that. The big chain, everything. Yeah. That was the B-Boy. The B-Boy. B-Boy time. So, I remember going back to New York when I was probably about 14, no, 13. And I had a cactus. We used to wear cactuses. And they were like, man, why you dressed like the janitor? Two cactuses, boy. I thought I was clean. They was like, yeah. So, we went to... We went to the Dickies and all them. Was it creased up? Oh, yeah. I seen two kids in Atlanta. I was so impressed. They were from, like, think Detroit. And I was like, dang, man, they were 13 just walking through the mall. I was two, brown and blue. And that was not Instagram. Didn't you see that? I remember that. I asked them, I said, man, y'all doing y'all thing. You're right. Let me tell you. They smuggled the stand up when they go. They got a spray. Yeah. That was so crazy to me when I came here for the first time and I saw everybody doing creased up pants. And I'm like, you can actually hear the creaking. Oh, yeah. That's how you do it. I'm like, that is so crazy. Military. You do a shirt, too. Get the military with you. Yeah, you want to... When you go to school, you ready to fight? You want to be like... You got to be ready. We'll fight all day long. So, how did you get your first role? Like, when you got into acting for the first first time. I think she want to act, bro. Because she is really asking you some good questions. No, I want to know. Like, how long did it take you to get that? Like, because I know a lot of actors be like, man, I've been doing this for so long. That's what I've been telling you. Lozane said that last week. He was like, I had a sump. Lozane, he was on real last week. He was like, he was on BMF. Yeah, this is a marathon, not a track meet. So, it ain't... See, the kids now, they... Everybody want to be famous. But I've been telling Amber them. It's like, yo, you got to put the work in. It ain't all that one thing. I... somebody dig up... My first television appearance at the Apollo was in 1989. Mm-hmm. And it was... It was... I tell everybody... Back then, people was in the streets. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, it was in the streets. And when they had picked me up, it was one of those days where you wasn't doing nothing. You was just in the wrong place. Okay, at the right time. So they picked me up, beat me up, and they go, what you doing over here? I picked my partner up. We're actually going to see... God damn it, Eddie Murphy. Everybody's in the movie. You talking about Harlem Night? Yes. Right? So... So we're going to the movies. Bleeding and shit. Head cuffs. Fuck, that's it. So... And back then, how they would get you, they'd give you... They'd mark the money, the buy money. Yeah, yeah. So they'd check your pockets and put you... I got no buy money on me. But I got a pager on me. And which I still have till this day. Got pager? Mm-hmm. You say you did. Ooh, I need, that's what I need. Yeah, I thought I was a man back then. Boy, you bring back memories. Still works. He don't know nothing about that. Then pager.

Four-one-one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how we sent stuff out. What's going on? Y'all didn't get that. We did something. I didn't. Trust me. That's me and you. I didn't trust me. We thought we were doing something. See, I remember. I used to go by the pay phone. Yeah, let me... I got to stop. I remember the rotary phone. That's what I remember. Well, you buy passers. That was after that. You're right. You just buy passers, right? No, that was a good time, though. Don't y'all never think y'all missed out on something? No, no, yeah. Trust me, J&J Bieber's. I was out there on her in Shreveport. I go down there and pay my bill. Oh, man, I was the man. They knew me in there. Oh, he got... I come to pay my bills. Oh, yeah, I come through, man. When it beeped, I ain't had no phone. We had the big brick phone. It didn't work. It was in the Cadillac. I never... It was in the Cadillac, but it didn't work. No, I ain't never had that. I had that paycheck. The paycheck, you just stopped by the pay phone. See, they gone now. Y'all got a pay phone, though. When they gave me my property back, my paycheck, I was like... What I was saying was, they could never say... I remember the judge saying, listen, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Because she asked me, she said, well, what do you do for a living? I was like, I'm a comedian. I'm a comedian. She's like, you're a comedian. I told her where, and she was like, well, I've never seen you. She was like, but listen, I'm going to put you on probation for a year. And if you come back in my courtroom with the same charge, I'm going to give you the time this time plus that time. Oh, three. Yeah. Right? I promise. The next week, I went to go do Apollo. So when you see that clip, that's me going, hey, guys. Fuck cocaine. That was my... That was me going... Saying goodbye to that. Yeah.

So it's me at the Apollo. It was me and Steve Harvey. Yeah, Steve. I've heard him talk about when he first went to the Apollo. That was me. During that time. He was doing a joke about Mitch. Yeah. That's exactly what I heard. Yeah. I can't let you get off this platform. Watch your top three parties. Hold on. Don't you cut me off. Top three comedians. You just cut me off. Of all time. Wait a minute. Dead or Alive. Top three comedians. I'm going to quit. I'm going to lead a damn podcast. You be here by yourself. Top three comedians. That's... Of all time. That's so hard because it's like... There's so many different colors. That's like... Any genre. No. No. But I'm saying... It's obviously... It's a lot to choose from. It's a lot to choose from. It's the different types of comedy. Bill Cosby. Oh, you... Bill. Not... Look how he looks. Like Bill. Coming in real hard. No, but that's not his number one. He's just calling some names. No, but Bill could be his number one. Because I want to be honest with you. You don't know... Man, Bill going hard. From... You know I've watched... We grew up watching him. No, no. You guys only apportion him, Bill. You got to understand. Richard Pryor wanted to be Bill Cosby. That's dope. I never knew that. You don't know. I never knew that. He wanted to be Bill Cosby. His whole act was Bill Cosby's act. Really? He was still Bill Cosby's stuff. Look at every documentary, every book. He's going to have me going back and look. Listen, I'm only going to tell you the facts. He's whole... And it wasn't until Bill Richard Pryor changed. He said, okay, I got to be me. Because Richard Pryor was in Vegas doing Bill Cosby. And he said... I think he was Frank Sinatra. Looked at him like, the fuck is this? And he left. He said, no, I got to be me. I got to be me. Because back then, Frank Sinatra and them, this is the mob. This is the mob. He was like, come with this bullshit crap. I thought this kid was funny. And when he left Vegas, he went to San Francisco and became Richard Pryor. He started talking about Richard Pryor's shit. Wow. And that's why I said, if there's going to be any, it'll be Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Andy Murphy. Only three. That's your top three. That's your top three. Those are the pioneers. Here's the deal. This is the last question that this man got to go. You took my scene right there for me. Okay, go ahead. Friday. Do you get tired of people asking you, is there going to be another Friday? Friday, I don't know how they would do it now with all the stuff that's been changed. But do you, I know you get that question. They came out with Coming to America too. Yeah, it was different. How do you think they did a good job? That's the main debate. I like the new one. I like number one. You guys want to talk to the other comedians? Oh, they got that. The police showed up. When the police showed up, they got the hell up out of you. You were saying, you know what I'm saying? They went in the car after that. That's why he moved over here. He's like, the nigga might know me. The police showed up. There he is right there. That's my partner. Oh, shit. They left. They got warrants. He ain't been talking about that. They left. Well, let us go get in the car now. Let's talk tripping. The police? No, that way, after last week, I said, well, I better start bringing. Benita L.A. niggas come through here, man. I got to have something. I'm just kidding. He ain't can't listen, man. I got to say this. He was here last time when they was here, but then he got his plate. Yeah. Because I be cooking. She cook for us. Ourself? Yeah. On the stove today. On the stove today. But if you had a later time to come in, I would have brought you a plate. She always do. But it's not done yet. That's how we keep y'all coming back. We feeding. He had some. He had some. Everybody cooked that day. And they left. But now. Today. This is a lot of sales. We going to eat after this. Like, we're a good restaurant. We can tell you. You want Jamaican? I'll tell you what. My boy, right up the street. There's a Jamaican restaurant right by improv that I always go to. Jamaican Gates is right there. Yeah, Jamaican Gates. My partner own it, yeah. Yeah. It's right by. It's right close to it. Right by. It's like right around the street, five minutes away. There's a lot of music on the weekend, too. We talking about right now. No, they open right now. No, they open right now. You could go over there right now. And there's another Jamaican spot right up the street. Yeah, my partner. So if you want Jamaican food, if you want something else, you tell us what you want. I will tell you where. Jamaican is a good Jamaican food. Yeah. These are the two. These are the two best ones. Number one over there. I believe I've been to New York everywhere I go. I got to go to one. Sweet Georgia Brown. No. Uh huh. I'm going to say, South Dallas Cafe. South Dallas Cafe. You like South Dallas Cafe? Better than sweet Georgia, huh? I know, but what about the, the chicken place over there, where they putting all that season salt on them? That's not really soul food. That's not really the salt. That's not really the salt. That's not really long as hell. Yeah. Honestly, you walk up to the window. It's real good. Chicken good, I love it. Especially because I'm hating on the seating, though. That's not really long as hell, but that chicken good, man. I sit up there. Yeah, they got me. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what you're putting in that chicken. I go back over there and send that line with everybody else. I was like, damn, you're the chicken man. Used to be a moat. Oh yeah? Oh, this nigga trippin' man. I'm serious. Are you serious? It's gonna be good one there. Well, I guess that's it for me. That probably what I'm, I don't know what I'm using. There was a cracker bill and I was like, right next to the feeling on it, I was like. I can't go to that. Well, we got a spot here that used to be a veterinarian place. It's a Mexican food place. It's a Mexican restaurant and we will not go there. A lot of people go there. A lot of people go there. That's right. So we're about to fry anything before you get off of your man. So, I mean, do you, would you ever do another one? I don't, I mean, you know, the pay was good. You got to. He's like, I don't know about that. I think that's the problem with a lot of it is, people can't do it for the culture. No, we did it for the culture when we did it. Yeah. So now we got children. Do it for the children. It's like, it's like, you don't, you don't never go to McDonald's and be like, hey man, can I get a free McDonald's for the culture? That's true. Where else does that work? It doesn't work. But you can't get an iPhone for the culture. But do you think it would even be the same? It would in no ways be the same. No, I'm not pressed to do it. I mean, it's a lot of ideas we can be doing. People, you know, it's a lot of ideas. It's a lot of, we haven't even got a dope horror movie. We don't have a dope Western. Well, you had a few of them, but I don't know if they would do it. Which ones? Didn't say I did one. What was that one? They just had one on Netflix. Then it is. Yeah. Look at this guy. Yeah. It's just like when you were younger and you used to watch all these Westerns and certain movies and you just loved it. And now that you get older and you look on these shows, you're like, you're like, I love that movie. You watch The Guns On Shiny. We're, ooh, thank you, man. I want to see dust and you, when you see a Western, you have to feel it. Dango? That's a good deal. That's rough around the edges. It's like this. We watch Django every single day for months. This is right here. For months. This is it. I'll say that's the greatest movie I've ever made. Yeah. I was like, that damn Django, God damn it, boy. It made it. Oh my God. That's one of the ones you guys, she didn't want to watch. I'm like, I got to see this again. I want to tell you, when I watch a movie, I watch it one time, eight years later on, and I'll watch it again. I can watch Django. He'll watch it. Oh, me too. Me and you the same. I mean, Sam and Jackson and all that hoes. Jamie did a good job too. Oh yeah. Sam did a good job. Jamie did a good job. Jamie definitely did a good job. Jamie's the first cowboy, black cowboy, from that play that, like, you know what I'm saying? His own way. And he straight out of 30 minutes away from here, Tarot Texas. Yeah, Tarot Texas. That boy ready, man. Come on, that's my boy. Hey, listen, man, that movie there? No, no, trust me. That's what he did. Jamie did Ray, and we used that as hell. Oh, that's a bad one too. Oh, I love Ray too. I was coming out of Universal, and I looked at, there was a big thing that said Ray. And I was like, I thought it was Ray. And I was like, that's Jamie. So I went to his house that night, and I was like, Nick, you about to get an Oscar. You knew it. Well, I saw the poster, because I thought it was Ray. He did an Oscar. But it was Jamie as Ray. Yeah. He killed that. I was like, he about to get a goddamn Oscar. Yeah, I know this thing just, he started. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? His first day in comedy was in San Diego. It was a place called Smokies. We always talk about it. Oh yeah? You know Jamie did comedy, right? Yeah, yeah. Like they know tomorrow. I love it. Smokies used to joke about it. His grandma was like, anybody walk like that got to have AIDS. She thought everybody had AIDS. Anybody cough like that got to have AIDS. I mean, it was just brilliant. I know Jamie for a long time. You was at them parties. I heard about the parties. I never got to go to one. But I heard they was off the chain. Yeah. Because his best friend lived down there and he would come into the shop. Because we used to have a shop in Tarrell. We had a store in Tarrell too. And he would come in there and buy like a shirt. And be like, yeah, I'm going up here to go see Jamie. Down there. I'm like, oh yeah, nigga, good luck, man, God, day. You might see anybody at Jamie's house. Anybody. Anybody, but we've been going there since, you know. He has a great personality. Oh no, he's a good dude. He's just, he's solid. He's solid. We know him as Eric, right? Eric Bishop. Yeah. Facing on, yeah, that's the question I had. I asked you, why'd you change the name? I didn't. Yo, your name, you had to. How you telling me about me? No. I'm telling you what the people that sent me. My partner said, that's why he changed the name. He wronged. Trill talk, no pill talk. So Facing Love is not your government name. Trill talk, no pill talk. I made the wrong. What is your name? Oh, you shortened it. Okay, what is your full name? Okay, you ain't wronged me. You're wronged me. Because it's easier to say. You'll say that. Come into the stage. Or just, it's just long. You know, Richard Pryor's name ain't Richard Pryor. Yeah, no, y'all always change. That's when y'all hit y'all's start. And when you change the name. No, it's all there it is. When you see y'all written out, it's like, it's too fucking long. You want something in with me too, though. It's too hard for people to say. That's what I'd be thinking. You want something catchy. No, it's just easier. Like, I put my shit down to one. I need more love on there. I'm like, but I need more love on there. I just want to phase out. That's it. Sinbad, I was like. Sinbad, that's it. Who would you like to work with? You'd have worked with everybody. Who haven't he worked with? But that's why I'm asking him. He know. Oh man, he just passed Michael Williams. You would have wanted to work with Michael Williams. He's such a good, such a, and Jeffrey White, you know what I mean, Jeffrey White? I don't know who that is. Who did he play? Then we probably know. You ever see Shab? Yeah, yeah. I mean, the guy played in Puerto Rican. Okay, okay. Yeah, Jeffrey White, he's like a phenomenal, phenomenal. There's a lot of good actors. And what female would you like to work with? Female? Yeah. You're talking about, you know, in a love scene. I've been in love with Sally Richardson. I've been like, there's just some Sally Richardson. Had never worked with her? Um, no, she just was always, um, no. Do you think you could work with her? Sally Richardson? Of course. Money, right? He's gonna work with whoever. Believe that. No, you think I'd be too nervous? Yeah, that's what I was doing. No. I've worked with Beyonce before. That's heavy. Now, you know, she even used to now. That's heavy. Beyonce? I couldn't do that. Oh, no. No, the money, right? I probably would've acted like that. No, no, I was, I would tell you the truth. I was nervous. You was nervous? Yeah, I was about to say, whoever you've been nervous with. They brought her into the witch causes to meet me, because, um, and I was like, I was like, we, Beyonce wants to meet you. And I was like. Oh, here. No. No. Oh, how do I get it together? No. We walked in. What did you say? You had a stomach, did you? Yeah. Boom. Ha. Um. Ha. Ha. Boom. Ha. She was, she, she's so nice and beautiful. She's, she's, she's, she's just nice to be, you know what I'm saying? She's a, she's like a down home girl. Yeah, take it. She was all like, hey. Stop playing. And I was like. All right. Ha. Ha. Ha. Hello Beyonce. Did you ask yourself, did I do it right after you left? I was. Ha. Ha. Ha. Did I do it right? Ha. I know how that is. I'm like, did I do it? Damn, did I miss her? We was filming Fighting Temptation that had this. Yeah. We had this wig on. Ha. And I was like, I don't know what to do. Nice. Nice. Then I get you to act like you don't care. Nice to meet you. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. I was like, you know, just, yeah, I remember. Yeah. Yeah, so that, you know. That was one of the moments. You can't forget stuff like that. I'm writing something for now for me and Holly Berry. Are you? Yeah. I seen her on a movie the other night and I didn't like the movie, but my wife kept watching it. I think she was. Bruised. Yes. Ah, I was like. Yeah. I want to see the whole Holly. She, I was like, Holly Berry is, she's an actress that goes for, her first role was a crack at it. Yeah, I know it. So that's when she's, you know, she's going for the edge. And, you know, she's, she goes. She's good at it. She goes for the edge. I watched it. I ain't gonna die on this show. She'd be fighting and everything. That was a good movie. That's edge. A lot of, you know, a lot of actresses. Something that you ain't really seen. Really. Yeah, I haven't seen her do that in a while. She giving it to you. Giving it to you. Give you another side of it. But she's gone. So you're writing something out for you and her. I don't know if she's gonna do it. She might. You know what I'm saying? Speak it into existence. It's gonna happen. I might look here, baby. You've been on the grind for a long time. She's gonna be like, oh yeah, no problem. It's time you have a real leading man. We're supposed to work together with Bats. And I was like, they was talking about the money on that one. I was like, look here, bro. You don't play about that money, do you? I don't make no money. So I gotta get to it all. See, that's what I was wondering. I was wondering if you had ever passed up on a role and that ended up being such a big movie that you're like, man, I shouldn't have done that. That ain't much, and it took that. No. You knew already. Back then, you had to pick your movie because one bad movie, you fucked up. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You pick one movie, you want a man. Whoa. Whoa! I don't know, I'm gonna hear from this movie. What are you, my nigga, though, bro? You pick one. You just want a man. Oh, you want a man! Oh, nigga! Oh! You want a man? You know what I'm saying? So back then, it wasn't as... You had to pick the right thing to get the buzz and go, oh, shit, this guy was in this and he's really history. Now I don't like him. It's so hard to me when I see actors because when you come in a very good movie and people love you as that character and then you switch in genre of, you know, like say you're switching from comedy to action. If people look at you like, they just don't see you as that action person. They see you still as a comedian. Jamie's the most comedy. Yeah, he has, but then you have a lot of people. Even like, kid stars. People still look at some of them as children. That's why a lot of them have a crossover into the adulthood of acting. They mess some of them up. Look at how when it was a smooth lead, when he came into the play, the boy that played on Empire, yeah, he fake like somebody, yeah, that's him. Yeah, y'all, yeah, y'all. Look at how he looking at you when you mentioned him. Look at how he looking at you. But his sister is a dope actress. I love his sister. His sister is a dope actress. I'm like, oh my God. He's acting as a different, he's a different Romary. They different, man. You know we heard that shit. He was like, this is bullshit. I said this is different. He was at Subway at two in the morning and Chicago, I said, I'd have been up there. You don't go nowhere two in the morning. Hell no! More of a sandwich. I'd do it. I said, this can't be real, man. If I know why you had no sandwiches, I'm gonna have sandwiches delivered in the daytime. Well, they just decided that he was guilty. I decided it long time ago. Listen. I was like, come on, man. Come on, bro. Knock it off. Knock it off. Two in the morning. Two in the morning. Some Africans. Africans. At least it wasn't no Jamaicans. Oh, here we go. Save me. They said, what, what, what, what? Why would I have a brother, a brother, a boy? Save me. My two boy, you know, I'm all alone. So, man, where you headed next, man? I'm gonna let you out of here. Atlanta. You going there? Oh, we just left. But I love it down there. I'll be going down there a lot because I brotherly are down there. Oh, okay. I'll be stuck. I'll be like, yeah, this is it. This is what they say, so I looked at that Tyler Perry studio. It's not in the Melting Pot. Tyler Perry's studio down there now. We moving up in Atlanta. It's not in the Melting Pot. It's just a studio. Okay. So is it the Atlanta Comedy Club? You going? No, no, no. Just going there. Who's going to hang out? I live down there. Oh, so you just, all y'all down there? No, that's why I didn't want to say it. Everybody went to Atlanta. Well, I moved because my daughter is in Florida. Okay. That's close. And um. Why didn't you just move to Florida? Fuck. That's even closer. That's even closer. I love, I love Miami. That's where people be at. I love Florida all the time. I'll go down there. We all in Homestead. I have a family down there. I will not live there. Would you live in Texas? Yes, fuck yeah. I will live Dallas in a minute. Really? I think when my shit goes right, like I get a court with her, I'm gonna go, I didn't pick out, I didn't pick out where I was at university. Yeah, yeah. Right there by the college? Yeah. Let's get used to this baby. You coming out through there? You gonna go? It's not a bad place, man. We have, we have a lot of not, and you can, you can stay discreet. You don't have to be. Yeah. Nobody knows what to do. Nobody cares. You don't. Nobody cares. You're going about your business. That's true. My partner here. My big business here. Yeah. Everything is so far. And one thing, if you come to Texas, you have to have a car. And we got to get a truck. We got to pick it up. I love it. I got them. I'll be on it. That's why I couldn't understand how people live in New York. I'm like, dude, I could never do this because I like to roll. Man, I be rolling, man. You have some keys and car keys in New York? You toss it to the hustle. I drove from, what, DC up to New York? And when I got there, I heard them took that damn car to that room place. I said, I'm not for the drive here. These folks, like this, I can't do it. And the hotel rooms, let me tell you, you can pay for a really good hotel room. And it's like still this, like... She got nowhere to go. See, you know... We always stay in Manhattan. Yeah, but hotels. Oh. But you need to tell us which ones we got to go to because they're always so smart. Money we pay for that room. We can go anywhere else and get a huge room. Yeah, yeah. Chicago, we did, we did pretty good. We went and spent a lot of money. Yeah, by the water. Oh yeah. Chicago, nice downtown. I'll be loving it. Yeah, we did the W down there, it was cool. Yeah, but man, thank you for coming on the show, man. Say listen, man, when you come back to Dallas, I'm gonna try to get you again, see he can do good interviews, see. Now I know where you're at. Hey, man, you can pull up here. And we've been here 15 years. Yeah, you know, I... Now you know, he's safe. Now you know where you're at. If I get the right address, that thing, I don't know how y'all put it in wrong. Ain't no way that damn address took y'all to Popeyes. Siri just wanted you to go to Popeyes. No, well. Next time, just make sure the hot steels is real. Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's right. Thank you so much, man.
