why do people act like they don't know what the
Hollywood is about? Especially?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Are you said you can't expect a person that's not
in Hollywood to know what Hollywood's about. But the people
that are in Hollywood definitely know what Hollywood's about.

The people that's not in Hollywood know what Hollywood is about,
how because they hear the stories. Hugel, Are we gonna

you what's going on there. I can't tell you what's
being served. I can't tell you the location. I can't
tell you anything because I've never been there. It would
be dishonest with me to say, yeah, I know that's
what's going on all you know those Hollywood I've been
to careful. Anything you say can and will be used

Speaker 2 (03:12):
The people just I just find it hard to believe.
And I am not because they, Oh my god, you're saying.
I just find it hard to believe that as long
as Hollywood has been in existence, as long as all
type of crazy shit happens, I just find it hard
to believe that nobody knows that when it's about to

(03:38):
start popping. Oh, is it a situation that because can
you take your change your voice Okay, what do you
want to say? You got to catch a predative voice

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I already know what it's going to be, slow motion
to everything. I know what it's gonna be. But maybe
it's a maybe it's a situation Hollywood. A lot of times,
was it was our counterpart that had these type of parties.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Count about white people?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yes, yes, Now it's been alleged that someone that's from
our community who was having these types of parts.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I think our people now community have this part, but
they this this is a this at a different scale. Okay, yeah,
he's at different scale. I think our parties just like
have weed. Yeah yeah, he got orgy drugs a his shory.
Oh lord, yeah, orgie drugs is a whole different. You
ain't gonna never start an orgy with a blood. I've
never seen somebody be like this yo, who was up
first half of his blood? All right, you don't want

(04:47):
to you are so smart. No no, I'm just saying,
you know when it disconnects from me and this and
if you are not very smart, No, no, because I
know because if you looked at me at that moment
the right way, it would have gave them pressure. You agreed, Yes,
it would have. I would have damn go. Nah. I'm

(05:08):
just what. I don't know nothing about no parties. You
don't know nothing about no parties. I don't know nothing
about no power. Let me ask you this. A lot
of times you've played while a people so obsessed with
these goddamn parties. I think for the law. I don't
know if people really thought that. They probably have heard
you can't have a white party. Now look what, Diddy,
diad nigga. You can't evenna see Frankie Beverly amazed. Now

(05:30):
well before I let you go into the freak off,
can't even wear all white? No more?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well, Michael, damn you Diddy, Michael Rubens taking over the
white party.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Now yeah, I don't say those those people in those
high places. I just just what. Here's hey, boys and
girls don't come to Holly, right, Hollywood is evil, dirty
place if you don't have any indication of what this
what this world is about. Stayed away from it. Don't
be surprised by anything. And guess what, don't go to

(06:00):
a financhier party at two o'clock in the Hollywood Hills.
I ain't saying that's gonna happen. There's a chance of it,
and gotta let these motherfuckers know. Don't be naive. You
can't be naive. Nobody want to talk about that. You
don't want to say what you could do to prevent
this shit. So it's a tough thing. This like you say,
with this, damn if I say this about it or

(06:21):
say that about it. But I do know Hollywood is
an evil place. This job is evil. Entertainment acting the
whole shit. I got a nine year old son that
was talking to me about entertainment. He was like, Daddy,
I want to do entertainment. And the first thing I did.
Any guy would be like, oh, he wants to follow
my footstep. First thing I told my son was, you know,
ninety five percent rejection. They're gonna be hating, people are

(06:44):
gonna be negative. It's gonna be hard. You're gonna get
a lot to do it. This is what I told him, brother,
you can get a lot of doors slam in your face.
I was like, if you were built for that, then
maybe why would you want to do it? Try to
scourage him? He said, Daddy, because you inspire me. And
I wanted to tell him that photo. No, that's double
of disrespect. No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna let

(07:10):
you continue. That was five yo. I looked at you
in your face and said, my nine year old son,
you blocked all that ship out. No, no, no, no, you
blocked all that ship out. You ain't saying, oh, you

(07:32):
blocked all that ship out. You the type of which
showed my son that picture. No, No, yes you would, Yes,
you would, Yes, you would, Yo, you would, I would
do that. You think you'll tell Your father used to
be asking, look, there's a picture here with baby all this,
that's what you're doing, Ruth. But he never he never,
he never saw as you Larry. No, he know he no,

(07:53):
he knows. But I'm saying, you don't think you owe
me an apology for that you just said in a moment,
I'm giving you a tearful a serious moment. You serious?
You didn't think I was serious? You I going back

(08:15):
to the joy of my life. You want to give
my son childhood trauma. I looked and I said, and
he said, I cannot believe. I don't believe you. Why
you don't believe me? I did tell my son this,
and he said, Daddy, because you be truthful, you be
a one hundred honors. Right now, let's go. You already

(08:39):
up to talk about Let's go read Why you already
blew it? Tell me see the picture. What I was
trying to tell you is that my I told my
What I was trying to tell you before I was
so disrespected, is that I don't encourage I don't encourage
almost anybody doing this being this business. If you don't

(09:01):
know how up it is, right, you have to know.
Now you want to do extra series now?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
No, But look, I think the thing is for my
I mean I think all of my kids. I think,
for the most part, normally, like when doctors have kids,
the kids like a lot of times you're no your
parents that you know you did become a doctor, or
you become a lawyer, of you're a professional athlete.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know your father.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Kids see their father bass football, basketball, that's what they
want to become. So I'm not surprised that he wanted
to follow in your footsteps?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, but before I was so rudely interrupted. Yes, I
didn't want to discourage him from following my footsteps, but
you did. Can I finish my thought? This is my
life and my son, Matt? What the fuck? All right,
go ahead? But you did try to but you did
try to discourage him. That's me. Okay, go ahead, I said,

(09:51):
I like the idea, you like what daddy do, but
why don't you focus and you're gonna hate this? Why
don't you focus on being a funny doctor or funny
litt But this business is very evil, right any woman
that's thinking about this, Yes you can get it, Yes
you could be successful, but this was I'm not saying

(10:12):
its gonna happen to you, but it's gonna be that
try you. We gotta stop sugarcoating it. Motherfuckers don't do math.
They don't do even math. This plus this equals this.
You don't want to do that? Oh why I'm telling
you what it is? Somebody said this is gonna be
very controversial. When Bill Cosby was in the news for allowhip.

(10:35):
Somebody said, down here, but what would you tell your daughter?
They was looking serious, like you're looking at me right.
They said, what would you tell your daughter? I said,
I would tell my daughter this. It's gonna be hard
for you to take. If a man sends an suv
for you at your place in the hood, takes you
to the airport, you're in the first class flight, you

(10:56):
get off that flight, you go to baggage claim it's
a with the sign with your last name on it,
Get in another suv, go to the four seasons with
a three thousand square foot crazy ass with chocolates and champagnees. Whatever. Bitch,
that's not an audition, and a motherfucker's gonna try to

(11:17):
get you. You can't say that, Oh, what you said,
I'm telling you that's the reality of it. I'm trying
to tell you. This is what I would say. I'm
trying to tell you shit that men do, so it
won't be a surprise to you. Oh I thought that,
Well he meant No, it don't mean that. It couldn't
mean that. But here's equation. This place, this could equal that,

(11:39):
and I don't want you to be a part of
that equation. I would tell it straight up. And also
I would be in my daughter's life enough that no
man could ever excite her or do something I can't
do that could persuade her to do something that she
don't want to do. Well, when you start talking about
real shit, everybody was like, are you victim blaming? Say
the reality of it? If the none reality is not working,

(11:59):
let me tell you the reality. Bitch. Don't get on
the airplane. You can't say that, Oh nah, they'll be
people eating me up with this shit right now. I
don't have no career like that. But that's to be honest.
Truth is, let's tell the reality. Even when cat Wims
did that explosive interview, everybody's talking about. Cat Wims did
not say nothing that people don't already know about Hollywood.

(12:21):
Where is the lie? Okay, there is no lie, But
what is the truth getting you? What did we get
from that? What you get a stay out the parties?
You can't say that I'm wrong for saying that shit
And I wanted I'm gonna be and my daughter's life enough.
Where can't dangle shit and get her excited about that?
But when you say that, oh you can't say that.

(12:42):
When Bill Cosby says shit like you know, it's troubling though,
and I know people can they can say what they
want that father's not being fathers. When you address that shit,
you nobody want to deal with the real reality. The
real reality is what the are you doing? Right? What
are you doing here? You know this is not it
And it is people that will get success in this

(13:05):
business for hard work. There's a lot of people out there.
I don't want to discourage anybody that has dreams to
be an actress or actor. There are people to get
the right way, and there's some people that's gonna suck
addict to get to the top. And there's gonna be
a position for everybody. I'm not saying I'm hiring, but
that's what happens. I'm not saying that. And I'm gonna

(13:28):
tell you you know who's really up about this movement?
The real holes, the reals holes are fired up. Oh
I got to go to actor schoolcause I was just
ready to be like why now, why taking this shortcut?
There's options, but I wouldn't care, especially on the female

(13:48):
side of it. But I will say this, Shannon, one
of the good things about all this shit that's happening
with Diddy, all this shit has happened with the me
Too movement checking itself right as wild as used to be.
I'm not saying I'm guilty of a lot of crazy shit.
But years ago, twenty five years ago, I go to

(14:08):
a set, I would have no promise saying oh you
look nice in that dress. Right, you know what I'm saying.
You can't say none of that, Oh you look nice?
I see you. But now, and this is where I
know the me too movement And this is the beauty
of what's going on, and the beauty of these guys
getting caught and this ship is going to jail, and

(14:28):
this Harvey wine Stain ship is that now you see
you see it right? You know what I'm saying. But
the reality of it, that shit is out there right.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Let me ask you this, do you think people because
you were able to do this because a lot of
times when people are in situations the success of a
Dave Chappelle's show and you're you know, you're playing basically
you're the robin to to hear Batman, you.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now gotta be robbing what they would the lead. So
I ain't never been Batman in nothing. No, I'm just
say ahead, you already showed me a level of disrespectful.
I don't know what I'm just saying no, I already
know goodhead. I mean, I mean you okay, I'm ribbing,
go ahead, yeah right, and I'm so lucky to work
for today. None, no, nice feel he gave me a
big break, he did, and he got me all of

(15:15):
those little freaky parties, all right, shaying it go How
do how do you explain I know a nigga about
to say something. They do their hair like that, yo,
when they do that ship it's coming home, all right,
go ahead, continue? So but how would you tell that?
Because everybody wants I tell you what, let's go back.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Everybody wants to be because what you played you on
Chappelle Chappelle's Batman. Now, a lot of times guys like man, bro,
I'm tired of playing. I'm tired of being Robin. I
want to be Batman, and they, you know, leave or
they try to upstage. Should more people be willing to
play Batman?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean, Robert, guess the thing is you got to
realize robbing can get on too. Yes, and then the
black community, this is trumble and black community, black comeds whatever.
We only think it's only one nigga at a time.
You're some one person. You can't share the stage. I'm saying,
even though I don't have a problem, some people are
comfortable being on the side, right. Some people the ego
they want to be the star. I don't care about

(16:09):
being a star. I care about winning, right. And at
the end of the day, I know, I know that
I have moments where I'm my own Batman, but also no,
fuck with I mean, I'm Batman. I know being Robby
right now, this is a this is a good look.
Guess who I'm besides, I'm beside him and people get
to see me. I do my own shows. I do

(16:30):
my show, I sell all the comm because whatever. But yes,
it's something to be said when David has to be
open for him and we're doing the rings of twenty
twenty five thousand people with some of the biggest name
in the industry, and I go up there and get
a standovation before I go on and before I after.
I know there's advantages of being a Robbin, but I
know that I have my moments of being Batman. But
that's when you have to put your ego inside. You

(16:50):
know what what Phittyson says on every platform one of
the forty eight for the laws of forty eight laws
of what's that book? What do you love? It's like,
don't upstage the master. You know what I'm saying, You
know what, I know what my position is right, And
when I'm around Dave doing shit, I won't even take
pictures with people. I won't even take pictures with people

(17:11):
because I don't want to give the impression that I
know that's his space is time and I would have
my time to shine. People got to understand that. And
relationship with being Robin has opened up the doors Comedy Central.
When I did my last special Comedy Central, Robbie Prau
tests around off, they had already decided that they was

(17:33):
going to give me a special. It was already some
talk about Dave producer special. They had already talked they
were doing to give me a special. Right that was
already in the can. But also now here's when Batman
and Robbin relationship pay off. COMMYE Central. I, when I
got that, they would have probably gave me I don't
even want to say the number was, but it would
have been a type of number where I would have

(17:54):
probably used half of that money on the budget to
produce it, and I would have came back with ap
me waiting for Batman. I got seven figures. Wow, that's
a relationship that works. Everybody's not built for that. Everybody's
not and those people that can't handle all the people
that's usually envious and jealous. And I don't have no

(18:16):
reason to be that way, because I know Dave knows
pound for pound, I'm one of the funniest out here, right.
I don't care what you want to say. I know that.
People ask me all the time, Dave Chapelle's your fun
of your favorite chemists? Ask Dave Chappelle, who says in
his top five, and unequivocally he would say that I

(18:40):
was a part of that, and not because of one set,
because of seeing me over the years, seeing me in
some of the toughest situations, seeing me at the Hollywood
Bowl when that place holds eighteen thousand people and they're late.
It's only nine hundred people in their eighteen thousand joint

(19:01):
and then the head of Live Nation comes up and says,
down there with the bad news, Well, you got fifteen
minutes the only thing there's nobody out there, so you
do you want to wait five more minutes or do
you want to go now? I'm like what the eighteen
thousand people gonna come that quick? Give me the whole
time and day, said one of the greatest sens I've
ever seen. I jumped up that stage eight hundred. Can

(19:22):
you imagine what eight hundred people look like? And the
eighteen thousand people I went off the stage, went to
each person in that audience, ripped the shit. Everybody in agreement,
will come back up, they said. If I was teaching
the comedy course, I would show people what it means
to be able to stay in the pocket and do that.
And this is the this is and this is when
I say this, And yes, I'm getting a little mad.

(19:44):
Dave Chappelle did the outdoor Cornfield shows when nobody else
is doing shows for two summers in a row. Some
of the biggest names in comedy came out of that Cornfield.
Guess who ended the show every time? Me? Wow. So
when people want to talk shit like that to me,

(20:04):
when people want to say, did your son see the
picture you sit between diddy legs, I tell him I
remind you that's why I don't know that I'm closed
the ship. But did you close? But did he close
his legs? But that's that's just it. That's just it.
You know. I know that I'm a funny guy. I

(20:28):
know that I've paid my dues. I know I have
a concer a certain amount of things, and I know
there's a lot of other things that I could do.
But one of the things I do know is I
don't get caught up in the stupid ships that all
these other community talking about the dumb shit, stubien shit.
I'm enjoying the journey. I enjoy the fact I called
my own shots. I work when I want to work.
And also I've also realized I'm a I didn't go

(20:52):
to college. The only really trained I have was being
a military police officer in the Air Force. I and
I built career for myself where at the end of
the day I can put my name on the marquee
and people say, you know what, that guy's funny. I
want to go see him. Anything else is extra. What's
some of the best advice Dave has given you. Dave
don't really give me advice, Rena. He don't really. He

(21:15):
doesn't really give me about advice. Just stay out of trouble. Well,
he will say, Dave has told me this. You're starting
to level up, so as you're starting to level up,
you gotta be careful of ship because they will come
after you. But he doesn't. Really. You gotta realize Dave

(21:39):
is the goat. Right, I'm older than Dave, but Dave
really has respect for me. He has respect for me
as a comic. So it's not too much advice you
gonna give him. And when we talk and like, our
relationship is not like our relationship. He ain't all the
bought just come yeah talking about you know what I'm saying,
it's just like y'all talking about life. People come to
me like, yo, I got this check? So so I said,

(22:00):
I don't even talk to Dave about none of that.
Me and they talk about family, you know what I'm saying.
We like, our friendship is not just on that screen.
We didn't been in funerals together. We've been in weddings,
you know what I'm saying. When I had my first kid,
you know what I mean, he saw the excitement I
had on those tour buses and shit like that. So
our relationship is not just about that show. It's a
real brotherhood. Hold on, you live in Ohio? What the

(22:27):
but you from the DMV? What made you decide to
go to Ohio. I got invited to a Didty party. No,
No Day lives in Ohio. But I'm gonna tell you
this what made me, This what made me think about it.
During the pandemic, when the whole world was shut down,
the whole world was shut down. Nothing was moving in

(22:48):
la you know what I'm saying. My baby mother was
really getting them my nerves, like and and at a
very tough time when nobody was working, I didn't even
know what the future of anything was gonna be. And
Day was one of the first pick person. He built
a he created a bubble out there. And it was
in that time, that first summer, at that time that
I started really looking at like what's really important in life?

(23:12):
And Hollywood shit didn't matter, you know what I'm saying.
It was just like during the pandemic, if you didn't
appreciate the simple things in life, like you know, being
in Hollywood and riding past the playground and no kids there,
all that type shit, if it didn't get to you
and realized something else is out there. And I went
out there to Yellow Springs, spent some time in the country.
I saw how simple that life was, and I got it.

(23:34):
I was like, why did anybody need to be in Hollywood? Now?
Do you think you could ever live that simple of
a life? Yeah? And the reason why because my life
is so chaotic anyway. I traveled so much, I'm all
with so many different places. I get my chaos there,
but when I go on the elsewhere, just want to chill.
I want to look in the backyard and see a
mouff there. I want to eat some of the shit

(23:56):
used to eat, like possums and turtles and all of
that crazy shit. And that's that's what it was. I
was like, this, this is the simple side, and I
never Hollywood. It's not Hollywood anymore. It used to be
a point where the only way you can make it
you have to be in New York in Hollywood. But
you're you're an example of you ain't got to be

(24:16):
in Hollywood to do any of the things that you do.
You can be whatever you want. That's what that's what
that's what done. And then what it also is you
bring it to me like I do a podcast whatever.
I'm building the numbers on that, but I'm like, eventually
I gonna get that to a point where you know
what I don't got to work as hard as whatever
I've been do that. But it was this simple life.
It was that simple part of it. And then after

(24:38):
doing it for over thirty years, it ain't too much
shit that I haven't already done experience on the wild side.
So you know, I know different birds and shiit now,
blue jays and canaries and shit like that, and I
appreciate that shit now cars Canaries are not native to Ohio?

(25:00):
What canaris or not? What are you cardinals? That's the
red bird? Oh you're a bird now? Oh dismissed it
doing everything? Yo, not nobody knew what bird I was
talking about. You had to take it to the origins
of the bird. Okay. I grew up. I grew up

(25:21):
on gray birds. They was all great pigeons. They a
canary cardinal couldn't even make it in DC. They get jumped.
You ever seen the color of a bird in Brooklyn?
Never all all gray birds.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Let me ask you this, Yeah, you got some money
when you first got when you first got some good
money to steve some money, not when you I mean,
obviously any money he was making probably was a little
bit more than you was making in the DMB. But
when you got a good chunk of money. What did
Donniell do pay back on the old yo?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I was on people's books, but I never The thing
is my grind has been and just constantly, you know
what I'm saying, where it was no money to make
some comfortable money to be scaring about this. But the
crazy thing down is I'm going through a transition on
learning how to have money make money. But I never
like I've always been like just teen and long. But

(26:18):
it was never nothing. It was never nothing like, oh
my god, I can't wait to blow money. You never
throw away money. Never did that. If I won't say
throwing that, I notice sounds crazy. But the best thing,
the weirdest thing, and I'll get over this. The best
part of me making money is being able to help
others and give other people. When I was younger, when

(26:41):
I was younger in the game, I was like, you
know what money, What money is going to mean to
me is that I would be able to take care
of some people and make other people life comfortable. Because
where I'm coming from, it's not too many people that
can go to it and say even a simple as
like y'all give what y'all want? Order whatever you want,
you know what I'm saying. But it was never and
I'm not like a flashy or anything like that. I
just just simple shit. As long as I can provide

(27:04):
for my son, my family, I'm good is money.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Does money mean different things to you now as opposed
to say, twenty five thirty years ago.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
No, I've never been excessive, you know what I'm saying.
Only thing I did when I was younger. I wanted
to live like a drug boy without the chance of
going to jail. Right, you know what I'm saying. I
wanted to have a nice car, dressed nice and just
I wanted to be able to go somewhere somewhere and
not look at the tags and not worry about money,

(27:35):
right you know. And I built enough now That's where
I'm at right now. But money is not my motivator. Right.
The only thing I look at money now is for
the future of my son. Right.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I had Marlon Wayne's on about a couple of months ago,
and he said when he he wrote a show he
and Sean and it didn't go through like it wanted to.
And then Keenan came on and he made him write
it twenty plus times again.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
And I read that Dave made you rewrite your special
three times. Yeah, but it was I don't know if
it was a rewrite. But it's so funny because Marlon
gave me some advice once before. He said, Donald taking
you off and just write. You can write your future.
But the Dave situation was we were this was during
the pandemic. He really was got close to my stand
up and he was like, I want to do your

(28:19):
I never approached him about doing my special. He said
I wanted to produce a special. He was just like,
you deserve it. He came over the idea of the
home Team meet Lunell, Earthquake, Tony Woods, and that was it.
And we shot the special the first time I did
a stab at it. It was in Charlotte at the
film or Theater in Charlotte, North come out okay. But

(28:39):
this was at the heels of the pandemic. So it
was just like the venue had COVID protocol these you
have to have vaccination cards and all this type of stuff.
And we did the special and I ripped the special
right and I'm me and Dave, Me and Quake had
announced our specials coming out and then maybe like a week,
maybe maybe two weeks after we made the announcement, Dave

(29:03):
caused me. I was about to go on stage in
Baltimore and he said, Donnie, I want to redo your special.
And like, that's a very insulting question because the first
thing you think it wasn't funny. I said, just tell me,
how did I go from a standing ovation chess bumping
Stan Latham to you know you want to do it over?

(29:23):
He said, Donnelle, I could put you in front of
any audience and you will rip it. It doesn't make
it a great special. Right made a lot of sense.
And you talked to a guy that already like four
ms five grammars. I said, I still don't know what
that means. He said, look, you did a lot of
COVID jokes. Netflix had turned away like half my audience

(29:44):
because of not within the vaccination situation, and they had
the mask and he said, I've seen you do these
jokes better than this. I said, I've seen you do
jokes better than what happened on a special. But I
was already the gun because when you when you practice
for a special, you're usually doing an hour. This was

(30:04):
doing COVID. Nowhere I could go and do an hour.
Only place I could do was fifteen minutes. So what
I had was doing was I had four fifteen minute
shows and hopefully I'll bring them together when it's time
for it. But when I listened to him, and after
he said that, it made more sense. He said, we're
gonna do this. We gotta knock it out the park.

(30:26):
And I was saying, you're still gonna give him money, righty, yo?
The check it already clear, so we could do it
a thousand times. That was the first time. Maybe seven
eight months after that, we were doing some shows in
Napa Valley and we were backstage. It was me, Dave
Ricky Hughes, who produced all his specials, and Dave said, Ricky,

(30:48):
how many cameras do you have here? She said, we
got five. He looks at me, he said, do you
want to shoot your special? I said when he said, tomorrow,
no announcement, we were just gonna roll the dice. Right.
We had cameras, and I was excited about that because
I didn't have to do a build up inviting family.
It's a Netflix presentation. We was basically going to do
it with nobody knowing. Caught another standing ovation he hit

(31:10):
me back, I want to do it again. I'm like,
what the He was like, bro, just go ahead and
tell me what what what's up? Yeah, that's why I
want to say. But then he said I didn't like
the production. I'm like, you produced it, but what it was.
He's very meticular when it comes to production. And the
thing was he it was like people walking around because
we didn't have an audience person telling people don't go

(31:31):
to the bathroom. And he just didn't like the look
of it. And I was like, all right. The next staff,
I was at the New York Comedy Festival, and I said,
let's just bring the cameras in here and do it.
And that's when I think I nailed it. That's when
A New Day The Special was good. I looked good.
People liked the special. I talked about stuff it's evergreen

(31:52):
because that first one. If you would play that first
one today and saw COVID masks, you had already known
it was shot in twenty twenty. Correct. But the way
we do it this time, you don't need something timeless.
The time is it could be funny five years before
and five years after.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
So negotiating, what have you learned about negotiating with companies
like a Netflix, like a Comedy Central. You mentioned that they,
you know, produced a couple of year shows and so
obviously they take you serious when they It's kind of
like with anything. You know, you have an agency and
you go negotiate with people. They take your series like, oh,

(32:28):
he ain't bullgot because you have an agency behind you.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, but that's like but then some but but I
know it's going to sound crazy, but the traditional sense
of negotiating agencies, management, it's about to change. And the
reason why I say that because the artists now have
power now where you needed an agent or manager to

(32:51):
introduce you to this person and get this ther power
is in you haven't support you having fans, right, you
know what I'm saying. And a person that has fifty
million followers Instagram, what is the manager going to do
for them introduce somebody to take more money. I'm not

(33:11):
saying in cases that you're not going to need that,
but it's becoming more whether artists can negotiate their own thing,
and the whole thing is knowing what you're worth this
and then I've always been like my negotia, people always
tell me what's your price? I really don't. It all
depends on what the need is and what it is.
And I've never been a person that tried to just
hit you in the head. I try to build relationships

(33:33):
with people for a long time, not for just one shot.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
When that when Dave did the Netflix special and he
caught a lot of flag for the transgender jokes.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
We ain't got no non Dave question. Yeah, I just
went this one more he's able to tell he can
I call Dave, tell his nigga come and do this interview.
I read that I reached.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
He's like the next that you don't know you no, no, no,
the transgender joke, I've never seen his joke, of my joke,
his joke.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I've never seen a guy.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
And even when he did the Saturday Night Live, that
monologue that he did there the way he can tell
a story, the way he can weave you in and
out and you don't even realize it because I didn't,
you know.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
I get what he was saying. I really really beg
you to come and see me live where you're gonna
be at I'll let you know, but go ahead continue
what yeah Dave again? And they.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
When he stood on Netflix, stood behind him, and you
mentioned something that this cancel culture. Before long it's gonna
be done away with, yep, because you were giving people
too much power. People that have been built something over
twenty five thirty years and they make one mistake and
it's gone.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah. But see, it's only certain people can be canceled.
Certain people can't be canceled people that don't lie. First off,
what council culture wants to do. They want to stop
your bread first. They want to do they can't wait
to say the agency dropped him, so and so dropped it.
They want to stop your money when they're powerless, when
they can't stop your money. You know what I'm saying.

(35:14):
The situation with him, and there are some artists like that.
You know, I say, Chris Rockets won those doings. It
can't be canceled. They built the base. And I think
I'm not at that level. But I think I'm uncounseled
because I'm not on a TV TV show, I'm not
doing movies regularly. Last five or six years, any work
I've got it wasn't through auditions because somebody said we

(35:36):
want this guy. But you know, when you don't have
to get a check for somebody else, you create your
own chest. You can't puncil, you can't counsel a version.
Is there a joke that you won't do. It's not
a joke that I won't do because I'm irresponsible in
the jokes that I choose to use. Now, the argument
it's been like, oh, I believe in freedom of speech whatever. Yes,

(35:57):
you have the freedom to say whatever you want. Also, no,
there's some consequences will come with what you say, and
there's a possibility there may be some backlashes. I encourage
white people to use the N word all day. I say,
use it so you can see how it feels to
use it. If you think you're that strong, If you
want to make that argument when I can use it,
use it. But then this is what's gonna happen. It's

(36:18):
consequences to anything that you say. It dode my One
of my phrases is a joke could be too soon,
but it never can be too soon for a funny observation. Right,
that's what my comedy is. I think that's what some
of the best comedians thing is. Right.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
There are times I mean you said some some some
lbch lbt Q jokes, Asian joke.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
I mean when you say a joke, do you know,
like I don't know if I should you just you
just don't. No, I do know that. And then the
ones that make me, oh know, those are ones I
want to do the most. Yeah, Because I'm just saying
it's like I like, there, there, there's there. There's something
to be said about a comic that speaks from their

(36:58):
point of view and how they feel. That's what comedy is.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
That's what comedians supposed to do, supposed to go places
because they're supposed to be like.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
The best that It all depends on who it is.
You have some comics. You have some comics that would
never do that because they're in the business with corporations.
They're in this business. That's where they make their money.
You know what I'm saying. Do you have some of
them that don't. But it's all depends. It all depends.
I know some some comics, like I say, Jim Gaffigan,
you ain't gonna never hear Jim Gaffigan do a straight

(37:29):
up dick a pussy joke, but he might water it
down and you suck to some where's because he's protecting
his bag, right, whatever you gotta do, protect your bag.
Whatever your bag is, My bag has been grinding for
the longest time, so I don't have to I don't
have to protect it like that. You friends with Joe Rogan? Right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (37:48):
How do I mean Joe went from a I mean
I didn't know Joe was comedian when I first were
then introduce to Joe Rogan was fear Factor, right a
lot of people, and then the next thing I know,
he's you know, basically the Voys of the US see
he's called and fights, and then obviously he's a pretty
good stand up comedian from what I hear, I don't,
you know, really get into it like that. So what

(38:08):
what what is the ying?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
And they? How did you and Joe become? Well, Joe,
we became. First off, I know of Joe from Field Factor,
from Chappelle Show, and then he was like a really
big part of the Comedy Store vibe there, like he's
been a big name for years and of course it's
pat podcast. But I never ever like was like, Hey Joe,

(38:30):
I'm so and so and so on. So my introduction
to people, I want them to see me perform. You
know what I'm saying. I want to see me performed.
He would see me in passing the comedy Store, and
then he knew my reputation that I was a funny yap.
Then we exchanged where it's whatever, and then one thing
led to another where I did his podcast and it
was interesting because I heard Miss Pat was on the

(38:51):
show yes, and Miss Pat was like people got upset
with her because she kept it real. And I'll double
down and say, I know that's his character because when
I did this podcast for the first time, I was like, you,
I want to come off the road, man. I don't
want to work as much on the road because I
want to spend my time my son. But I don't
make money in Hollywood. I was like, I need to
make money in Hollywood. He was like, just start a podcast.

(39:13):
I'm like, it's not that simple. He was like, and
I'm selling myself. Ain't no money in podcasts like that?
And then I googled him. I was like, okay, so
let's talk about that. Let's talk about that right here.
This woman tell you this is what I want to say.
And when when I watched the one, Miss Pat, I
was like, she right, that's the type of person he is.
But our own people are so critical each other when

(39:34):
the Joe. When Joe said Donelle, I was like, how
do I get subscribers like that? He said, just do
a podcast on a tape recorder anything, Just do it,
I'll tweeted out. You'll get some licks off of that.
Then you do all the other podcasts. Next thing, you know,
be on Guess what I did it. I came out
the gate with like seven thousand subscribers off of that,

(39:57):
And people could say what they want to say, sick
of the black white that type of ship. There's some
people that stand up people and they say they're gonna
do He's one of them. As much as people want
to say, well the people they're not funny. Guess what
them white boys have figured out the thing to do.
They figured out a way to make other make each
other riches. They support each other. They have a system.

(40:21):
They just support each other. They have a system. They
have a system. All right, this person, Okay, let's say
guess what. Everybody ain't gonna be the funniest standing or
who's gonna be the best business people, who are gonna
be the best hustlers or whatever. And they have a
system that they make each other stars. Why black people

(40:47):
don't do that? I want you to be a star.
I just don't want you to be bigger than me.
So if that means that means you don't want me
to be a star, that's why you don't want you.
Oh no, let me be a star first. They don't
look they don't look at it like that. That crew
that could say, I don't give a all right, you
already heard my feelings about my son, so this can
go away to go But they where is that sense

(41:09):
of unity? Always talk shit? Why isn't Spike Lee the
most sought out the director doing the biggest movies and
everything what y'all wanted, We want him to do black movies,
blah blah blah blah. I'm doing black movies, black ads

(41:29):
and everything. Guess what, you ain't going to see my movies?
So had no power? When does it stop? And at
the end of the day, At the end of the day,
you can take race everything away. You got good people
and bad people, yeah, on both sides. And a relationship
no matter what everybody thinks about Rogue, whatever the relationship

(41:49):
I have with him, he's always been the standing up
god to me, always pick up my call and always
been like, do you need anything? I got you.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
You can only base what you know about a person
through personal experience. Right, So somebody else judging Joe Rogan
that's never been around Joe Rogan and you having a
personal relationship with Joe Rogan and saying this is how
he is with.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Me, but you can't do that share because people want
the relationship they have with you. They want you that
similar relationship to do they won't you have a similar relationship.
I give exam But Kid Rock, Yes, Kid Rock is
a good friend of mine. I met Kid Rock doing
what he was doing this summer shows in Ohio when,
because Kid Rock is a provocateur, he says some dumb
shit out of here of some time, I get that.
I don't think that that is I don't think I

(42:29):
think it's two people. I think it's Bob Richie and
it's Kid Rock. Kid Rock is a provocateur that wants
to talk some shit to get you stirred up. Bob
Richie is a person I met in Yellow Experienced, Ohio
when nobody want to talk to him, nobody want to
take a picture with him. We floating down the river
and I'm talking to him and he's right beside me
on the boat, saying, Donelle, I feel like I just

(42:51):
went through twelve hours of anger management. Thank you. I
saw a guy that that's that's the one that I know.
I saw a guy who was doing a comedy festival
in nash Donelle, I think you funny. Thank you, thank you,
thank you for showing me love. Whatever would you be
interested in doing this? I saw a guy that had
to show the grand o opery one of them white

(43:12):
established who want to say? I did the show seven
comedians six seven white. I'm only black comedian. I go
on last, I close the show, Shanon, I knew what
I went out did. It was all magas. It was
all magas. It was not somebody from the left. It

(43:34):
was not an LBG. It was the only letters in there.
It was M, A G, A capitel capital. All I
saw was star spangled band of shit. You know. I said, red, white,
and blue, God bless America. And I said to myself,
oh man, fuck that. But I'll say, what, what's my job?
I'm a comedian. Can I go out here and rock
these mother? I did? I closed the show thirty five minutes.

(43:58):
No politics, know nothing called a standing ovation. At the
end of a backstage kid Rock, he said, Man, I
think we might have just brought America back together. I'll say,
and don't separate them. That's it. But your your like
you said, your personal experience is different from mine. Yes,

(44:21):
and the person can be like. But he said so
and so do I give about it? Yes? Do I
tell him sometimes? Come on, man, you can't say that.
It don't make no sense to say it. But that
and I say, that's one of the things that I
really appreciate about what I've built for myself with my
following everything, is that if you come to one of

(44:42):
my shows, it's not just all black people, it's not
just all white people. It's a mix of everything. It's America.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Daity got a nine year old old lad with a
nine year old but anyway, that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
By any way. So you know the level of disrespect
that question is for a man with no kids, who
ain't got no kids. I ain't talking about you. Don't

(45:20):
kid me, nigga, all right, I'm kidding me. No, No,
you know how hurtful that is for a guy. And
when I say that myself, that thought that he was
already settled into the fact that he probably never had
no kids, which is mentally for a man, it's a

(45:41):
tough thing. I had already said, you know what, you're
probably not gonna have no kids. You got nephews, you
got kids. Did you want kids? Yeah, but this situation
just didn't. And you know, the situation just didn't happen.
And I just wasn't shooting up the club like that,
you know what I'm saying. Okay, yeah, I mean I
wasn't a raw dogger like that. So I mean, I mean,

(46:01):
if I you saying, like you proud, I've been going
wrong longer than me. Oh, he's like, yeah, I forget that.
What the longest? But what I'm saying was it just wasn't.
It just didn't happen. I was in relationships where it'd
be like two years, three years, then start all over

(46:24):
and ship like that, but then it just happened. I
did have him late in like, but I don't. I
don't have no regrets about it. Sometimes I do think,
what if I would have started early whatever, But then
you'll go crazy thing about death. I'm just happy that,
you know. And then did I have a beautiful son? Yes,
don't ask me about my son. Please? What about marriage.
Then what marriage? Yeah, it's probably one thousand. Ship out

(46:46):
of the car to me, what I got a son?
That's black marriage. Yo, it's gonna be one of the others. Yeah,
I got one. And then when she said I remember
when she was like she knew what the baby. I said,
boy girl, she said, what do you want? I said,
I said a boy boom. I was like this, I'm

(47:07):
out rolling staying continued. Yeah, but my happening and my
happiness comes thro him, and I happen to come through
what I do.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Have you ever called someone cheating on you? You say
you had a dream.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
I don't think. I don't think I caught nobody cheating
on me. But I know in the past I treated
so much. I know I had to pay them taxes.
You got to you got to I got to lick back.
I'm pretty sure of it. I'm one thousand sure, but
you got to pay. I'm like, as it was time
to reverse that in sooner or later. Yeah, but I'm
pretty sure dat. But I look at it. I look

(47:40):
at it. I look at cheating like this like, no,
go ahead, go to the next question.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
I will ask toxic relationship move more toxic women th.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Men you know what a toxic man is gonna say? Women,
you crazy bitches don't understand. Yeah, the most toxic. I'm
crazy as oh because I ain't come home last night.
You tripp it? Why are you going through my phone?

(48:07):
Would you consider yourself toxic by definitely? Yeah, I do
think I'm nah, we see damn. I don't think I'm toxics.
Then I'm a narcissist. I'm a nigga. Put everything in there,
gas light, toxics, narcissism, love bombing. I do all of

(48:30):
that type shit, and that's what make men men. We
ain't gonna be perfect. You and your god damn therapist
about that ship. I'm all of them, all of them.
Every mental health word you can use on me, toxics, narxism,
through all of that, I am a good yeah, through
all of that. You know what, This is something to

(48:51):
be said a lot of people have better relationships, and
relationships be strength strengthen if women would just state aut
of self wants there, you have the urge, the seed
that gotta know. If I am, I am a night
and shining armor. If you stay the away from my phone,

(49:13):
I'm from this place, and they gonna never understand this logic.
Your Hallmark movie got yeah, I'm like this. What did
I do for you to think that you want to
my phone? Just? You know, women say I had this feeling,
it was just something that side did you have? Did
you have that feeling with Wes in Nabu Dhabi? Did

(49:36):
you have that feeling with Wis at the shopping springs?
When do you have this feeling? And what do you
want for that feeling? Nobody understand that Shaq says something
close to this, I'm coming home to you. I'm so
and so stay up shot, stay on my phone. Oh wow,
what you gotta high? No, I ain't got nothing high.
But so a man, you can't have no level of

(49:57):
privacy and everything about my life. You need to be
privy to it. It don't make no sense. And you
know what it is? Foul? Right? You know what it is?
A foul? You know what I'm a foul. Oh I
didn't answer my phone. Oh I fell a seap ony
my man couch. You know what. It was a foul.
So why why you want to play with that? It

(50:19):
don't make no sense too much. Say the strongest drug
in the world is a woman. One of my mentors said, Donelle,
this is when your career really tastes off. When you
to knock down everything you want to knock down. You
done have had that experience. That's what it takes off.
Because he said, Donnie, you gotta remember this. No, this

(50:41):
is what he said. No pussy is gonna be better
than new pussy. And once you get to the point
where you don't need new pussy or chase it, that's
when ship starts to exchange. Because the men always going
to have the drive to want to do something with somebody.
But eventually you get to a point like it's worth it.
And I think that what happens is you've been in

(51:02):
so many situations where the consequences of your action you realize,
guess what, most of us know how to be good men.
We know how to do it because you can look
at every bad relationship prepares you for the next relationship,
right and you know, like, how did this one up?
Because I did this. Once we get to the point
where we say we don't want to do that, then
that's when you'll get to that point. Do you want

(51:22):
more kids?

Speaker 1 (51:24):
I I because the appucino had one of eighty three,
So you waved from that.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I ain't gonna do that. I think it would be
unfair to that kid, but I did when I did.
I wish after Austin, I wish that I would have
had another one right at there, just because he is
built to be a big brother brother and he just
got that part of him. But you know she's so
young that she she could pop off. Yeah, I'm like

(51:54):
dneo you, Oh, why you didn't day no mom? Why
you go for the Donnay didn't they her mom? Because
why did not date them? Yeah? A good question. No, wait,

(52:15):
I don't ask you the quote non close because that
thing that Downeil Raleigh show. Love is love. If you
don't love is love you. I agree with you, but
you like him young though, I say, Drake, I heard
your no, don't do that. I don't like I don't
like her young. I like what I love. I didn't

(52:37):
groom nobody's son. It is what it is. But I
can't take nobody my age again what I wanted, but
I look like getting a forty eight year old bitch pregnant.
It's possible it could have happened, but I ain't want
them odds. Hold on. She was a little bad Girls Club. Yes,
you make bad girl. I made her a good girl.

(52:57):
Nigga saying that has me another question. You like, tox,
I was going through a transition in my life and
if somebody had made me feel good about myself that
I knew in a future I was gonna have a
beautiful son that you was gonna try to ruin the
relationship I had with him by talking about the d
C between Diddy legs. I started the future of this
show before goddamn did it all right? And I didn't

(53:20):
break no laws I didn't know. Yes, she's a lot, lot, lot,
lot lot younger than me, but that's what it was.
I gave my opportunity. I gave myself opportunity. Why you
hating on me?

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Where y'all meet that forever twenty one?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Yo? Y'all ain't gotta lay down, you know what? Try
to figure that.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I mean, where you meet his twenty three year old
at cause, I mean, hey, twenty three, I think I'm
a couple of years older you.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
I go thirty three.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
So I just need to know twenty three thirty three
day Bobby in the same area. Maybe we can hang out.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
I'm not I'm I'm not Okay, what I want to say.
That was a part of my life where someone gave
me a certain energy that I needed and they expressed
to me, I wasn't out there on no playgrounds, I
didn't have r Kelly in the background, and they expressed
to me that they and this just how to get you.

(54:18):
I like older men bing bing being, being being right,
you like younger women. Can I finish my you can
switch to do interview yourself if you want to do that,
give them another mic. No, No, it was just it
was something that happened in my life. It was timing.
It was me coming off another relationship and I just

(54:40):
felt this person made me feel good and that turned
into a relationship where I had a beautiful son. That's it.
What a y'all mean? How do you ask? God? I'm interested?

(55:02):
I'm an older guy myself. We were we I was
working on this show and uh New York, and we
both had a social media manager whatever shared the same person.
She worked on the show too. No, she was on

(55:23):
the show that you just said. I'm not embarrassed about that,
but now you shouldn't be. No, that was that was
the case. And this person kept on saying like y'all,
anything of y'all funny sense of humor, whatever that we
wanted y'all to meet. And I'd be quite honest, I
wasn't excited about it. I wasn't excited about it because
of that show. I just wasn't excited about anything. That
was going through a point in my life where I

(55:44):
was like, I don't need to be with nobody right now.
But that I didn't meet it. Then I met her,
and then this is how all relationships start. You feel
and see all the good things. Somebody that knows not
I won't say pray on it, but they know what
makes you feel good. And at that time, everything about
our conversations and everything I felt good about. And it
was like small, small tests. This might be my new

(56:07):
to you, right. But I remember I had took her
shopping and we were at this mall and I when
I go shopping, I'm like this, I ain't looking no
tags or nothing, right, And it was three pairs of
pants on it, right, And the pants was like, I
was like, you like those through pants? Like two twenty

(56:27):
five cheans. They both was two twenty five. I said
you liked them? She said yeah? I said, why'd you
put it back, and she said, I couldn't see myself
and this was my money I was putting up. She said,
I couldn't see myself paying two hundred and twenty five
dollars for a pair of pants. And I know that
feels weird, but I was like, I'm not mad at

(56:50):
that answer. In a situation where you could have been
like this, I'm gonna just wow, wow wow. And that
started conversation. And then again she was in my life,
made me feel a certain way and made me feel
a certain way literally and figuratively when I needed to
feel a certain way. That's how happened. And then some
short time period after that, we had a kid.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
I saw you had doctor You interviewed doctor Umar. Obviously
he'd bury.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Pan Africanism is the word that he used. Just say,
he's very not us, be honest, you know us, me,
you know us me, you know what, don't even try
you know us what. They don't even flow off your lips, right, sir.
It's like somebody in your ear like this, like saying
saying say it. You know, he's not like us. They

(57:48):
not like us.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
No, they're not like us. I don't know what you're
talking about.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
That. I know you know that I'm talking about. Donall
give me my cards. I got some cards and you
know I'm talking about Ahead, all right, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
I don't know what you're talking Why why do you
believe the interracial dating is such a big hot topic
in our community?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Why is it hot? Talking again? Have something to be
mad about? Now? I can understand your feelings are interaction.
This make sound crazy and ooh, what this up? I
can understand that ship if we were still like marching
like a god damn, we got so many examples of
what a by relationship, biracial relationship has created. You know

(58:32):
what I'm saying. We got so much of Like it
don't necessarily mean everybody ain't trying to fight the power
all the time. I like, got my spenge, I said,
fight the power downstairs. I'm this freedom fighter right now,
yo Yo, I said it in my spenge. I said,

(58:53):
the dopest blowjob you ever gonna get is a reparatious blowjob.
I don't give up, and you laugh as you know,
you know, you know, hour hour, what's the difference, huh,
what's the difference between what, jo yo? You ever had
a reparations blow job? I don't get that like that. Man,

(59:14):
oh man. They always talk about where's the lies? Right?
All lives are being exposed right here. I don't. I
can understand the sentiment of doctor Umar. I can understand that.
I just don't subscribe to somebody should be only dating

(59:38):
a certain person. Yeah, And whenever you say that, they say,
that's the language of a bunny hopper. So what whatever
fuck makes you happy? Right, That's how I feel.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
So I'm just supposed to be with anybody just they
treat me like crap. Just find somebody else out. That's
not always the case. But why can't I be with something?
Why can't I be with the person that likes me?

Speaker 2 (59:59):
You can, but then but then what does it say?
Then you're taking away? Oh you're taking the money out
of the black community. Everybody takes money out of the
black community. Yeah, I mean I can't talk about it.
Oh you bunny hopping. I've hopped at a hopper. Your

(01:00:20):
son mixed? My son is mixed with a Salvadorian and
I'm black. Oh yeah, Tina uh Selena, Yeah, I have
a beautiful son too. The DNA was cracked on that one.
Sis him up. Somebody say, oh, downey or you met you?

(01:00:43):
You you? You uh got that pretty girl pregnant. I'm like,
do you think I want to get some pregnant to
look like me? We gotta balance this shit off. How
ain't gonna have no good hair nowhere? Did Tyres really
get mad at you were making fun of him? He did,

(01:01:04):
but I didn't give a Did he reach out to you? No,
he reached out and he slid of my damn pause.
No did it? But it was something I did a
joke about. I used his face as a crime mic face. Oh,
I expect that from somebody that I f I'm like,
nigg I didn't saw you twice in my life. Now
where do you get you with? Yeah? He was he
said something about, oh, I expect that because I made
a joke about him crying faces, dismissing the fact that

(01:01:26):
I'm comeded and dismissing the fact that cried too much.
Shut the up. I wish somebody, you know the phrase,
take his phone. Somebody really need to take Tyree's fault.
We don't need to know every second of your life.
I respect it. As an artist, I respect what you've done,
but damn, man, I wish you would just shut up.

(01:01:48):
Have you got a lot of that?

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
People ask you to take down polls to stop making
jokes about them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
No, people don't do that. You wasn't gonna do it anyway, Huh.
I wasn't gonna do it. I've never considered it. And
the reason why I say that because I'm really selective
on what I put out there, and I'm like, if
you can't take this, you're just overly sensitive and I
can't cater to that. Then if I do that, then
I'll be taking posts down for everything. No disrespect to
Tyresee or anything like that. But I personally think that
someone needs to take his phone because I know you

(01:02:15):
want to be in touch with your fans. We don't
need to be a part of your whole journey, right,
We don't need to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
But Matthew, who wou the best comedy stand up experience
you've had, You've been on Deaf Comedy Jam, showtime at
Apollo Comic View.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
For me, the best comedy experience I've had was when
I did my special because no matter what do you
think of that special, it felt like I really knew
what I was doing, Like from Dave's us scratching it twice,
I feel like the next one, I'm doing the next one,
I do. I know exactly what I know, point of
view is, I know beginning, middle, and end. I know

(01:02:51):
that during that show I captivated the audience. So for
some reason, as long as I've been doing it, and
I've been doing it for thirty plus years, it was
that special that I was like this, Oh, now I
know what it means to be a professional comic when
when the stakes are up right, because you can just
people say, well, I've seen them be funny whatever. It's
one thing to be in a comic club with no pressure,

(01:03:13):
but when those lights are on, somebody's money is there,
and you trying to duplicate what you did all these
years to that. It's something that I just felt like
when I did my special New Days, it was something
that made me feel like, I know what I'm doing now.
And even after that, people that come to my shows
they're like, oh, I didn't know if he's gonna do
stuff from the special, no joke from my specialist there.

(01:03:34):
It's all new, and I'm still I'm still getting better.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
The set or special. You say a special is gonna
be an hour? Are you doing all new?

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
Material. Are you doing material that you like?

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
You fine tuned like some of the jokes obviously get special, Yes,
the special?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
You doing stuff that you This is what I felt
I wanted to do because you're on a clock, you're
on a time, you want people's money. I wanted to
feel like I wanted that special that but I wanted
to be open enough where something happens in the moment.
I can do that, which makes it very organic. But

(01:04:13):
a lot of times you don't have the flexibility to
do that. You still just like by the book, by
the book. But when I when I do my ship,
even my show today or whatever you see me, I'll
probably by fifty percent of stuff. Is what I want
to do, and I want to do myself. I want
to keep myself open for what could happen. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
Wow, So let me ask you a question. How much
do you like when you go on stage? Do you
like you've rehearsed, you like written down? Because Marlon Rae
Marlin says, I don't write down anything. I'm going up there.
I'm free. I'm free. I'm just going with the flow.
And then I've had others say, hey, I got a set,
I know where I.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Want to go. I want to go boom boom, boom boom. Hey.
I might aught to hear their according but I don't
never have I don't have a script, but I do
like it's at certain points I want to do me
the best sense I have when I'm working with the
emotions I'm dealing with that day. If I'm having some drama,
family stuff, whatever, if I can kind of turn that
into stand up. But I'm not like some people. They

(01:05:13):
are like Chris Rock. Chris Rock is not He's not
gonna deviate. I've seen Chris Rock prepare for specials. Well,
it's gonna be like papah Bye. He's a he's a professionalist.
He's a professional in his penning game is crazy. But me,
I want to be able to talk to about something.
But how do I get there?

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
I'm looking at you know. Jamie Fox called you a beast.
You work with Chris and Dave on the because you
was on at the Hollywood Bowl. You meant in the
Hollywood Bowl. So were you there when the guy rushed
the stage?

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I wasn't near that, and I was a part of
that tour, but I had another gig. I was doing
one of my one of my gigs and I was
the only shoulder and that run that I missed, I was.
It's so funny because I was on a flight and
before I was taking off, somebody said they just attacked
Dave on stage and I was like, oh, like I'm
gonna take a parachute and get off, Like I'm gonna
go save them. But I wasn't at that show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Chris Rock recently ended the Billionaire's private but once he
found out somebody was recording, how you how serious are
you about recording your shows?

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
I'm uh, it's weird. I think that, Like I was
at my shows. I make sure the MC announces that
no recording rights. I'm not gonna let that ruin my show,
right because even though somebody is recording your set, it's
not gonna take away from people seeing you live and

(01:06:30):
seeing you put it on the platform that you're gonna
do it. It doesn't matter if somebody records. I wish
people would take more time to be involved with the
show and I record, But if somebody recorded my shit,
it's not going to stop them from watching on Netflix
or going to see me live. But it's like a
funny situation, did you get up?

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
Did you get upset that cat for what he said
on my platform. A lot of people got mad at me.
They said, because you allowed cat. I'm like allowed. I
mean I have asked somebody to ask you know, I
invite you in and to have a conversation. I don't
know where you're going, just like I didn't know what
you were going to say.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
I didn't. I didn't get mad. But my thing is, like,
you got people with problems and people with solutions, and
my only thing was that. And I listened to it,
Like I said earlier, okay, you like you haven't said
anything that people don't know about Hollywood. And then my
thing is, what do you want out of this? All right?

(01:07:29):
So and so stole my joke, write another joke. And
even when I listened to it, it's so easy, sir.
First off, if a can that easy? Still your joke?
Guess what? It ain't the best joke out did. Mark
Carrey was upset, like, oh, Steve Harvey did a joke

(01:07:51):
about Halloween. I'm like, who don't got a Halloween costume joke?
Who don't got a joke about I was up, we
dressed up like ghosts. I was a poor id dressed
up like a ups man who don't have those jokes,
and then it make sounds crazy. But writing a joke
I used to be when I first started. I used
to be all that mother fuerstold my joke, he stole
my style. I'm like this. I didn't get nowhere with that.

(01:08:13):
I had beef comments. I'm like this. All that does
for me is like you know what, First off, if
motherfus say a joke, go fight him. That's how it
used to be when I was coming up. It ain't
like you didn't have no blog. You go fight him
that stole you. Oh yeah, yeah, if you knew it,
you just stepped to him. If you ain't gonna step
to him, what are you mad about? If anything, write

(01:08:36):
another joke? Right, it's so, But not only that. Usually
when you hear somebody, when you hear somebody on somebody
saw a joke, the joke is so easy to steal,
right that, what are you complaining about? And that's when
you go deeper into you as a comic, because now,
all right, people just to steal my sholders, Like you

(01:08:56):
know what, that joke was stillable, you can have it right,
And I got to go back up too, myself. That's
why I talk about point of view. You can't steal
a joke about a relationship I have with my son.
You can't steal a joke I have a relationship with
any relationships I have, you can't steal that, Joe. It
would force you to be more creative. But a lot
of this shit is just bullshit.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
How how have you been able to appeal to two
different audiences? Because you have crossover peal obviously, like you said,
you came up in the chipling circuit. You can black common,
you can be in a black room filled with black
you can go room like you said you had in Nashville.
You had basically an audience, none of them look like
Donnelle Rollins.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
How have you been able to make that transition white bitchiness? What?

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
I don't know nothing about that, Donna you're trying to
give me.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
I'm sorry, I'm not down there that I'm not there. No, Okay,
I did, I'm sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean for white bitchess.
Explore different cultures, yes, being the reason why I've been
because I just don't have one group of friends. I
like to drive around my block. Right, that's it, Yes,
that's your blockers look like me. Your block is a

(01:10:09):
cold acid. Yeah, and people like be limited bunny. No,
I don't know what, darnill, where did you get that from?
I would to know who told you that. I ain't
gonna I don't have no resources. But it's all over
your face. No it's not. It is all of you,
even though you even the way you talk is different.

(01:10:29):
You see you a nunciate now, yo, you said I
beg your pardon? You got index cards? What the are
you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Prop of the internet is what somebody said that and
ran with it, and not everybody believes that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
I believe. I believe that, all right. I believe that
you are a hopper. You a hopper? You you a hopper.
You might have a T shirt for a photo oppy, No,
but y'all want me to you. You might wear a
doctor's dush she you on your birthday. No, you can't

(01:11:06):
hop any all that tried to see.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
They say that because they want me to reveal. And
I won't fall for the I won't fall for the banana.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
But don't don't don't even leaving the phrases you use.
That's very white. Okay in a tail pipe? What about okay?
Dope is better. But that's not what you said. She said.
But now and he said, the old banan and the tailpipe.
That's a bunny hopper right there. Son. Oh, they had
to hit me with the blood. Blur blurve no. Because

(01:11:37):
the reason why because I'm culturally diverse, and I don't
I don't just associate with just one type of people.
One of my friends this with my friend. This is
what he said. He said, Man, you're gonna have a
good time with sharing. I said why, He said, because
y'all both like black and white. I'm like women. Now,

(01:12:00):
he wasn't talking about the women. He was talking about
black and white in regard to like, you know, like, Okay,
let's say I got a guy like I like, I like,
oh this is this, this this, and you know what.
It may sound insulted, but I know what he meant
by that, And I'm gonna tell you that this has
been a dilima in my career. I didn't find out

(01:12:20):
till like a year ago. I was talking to this
promoter and I was doing the show, and I was
talking about these black packing shows, right, and it's like
it's always like some more, it's always earthquake it's all
these people, And I asked him, I said, yo, and
I love everybody just name. I said, how did why
did they keep missing me? Why I'm not on these shows?

(01:12:42):
He said, Donelle, I pitched you for this show, don't.
I'm the one who got you the show. He said,
But a lot of promoters think you're a white comedian, right,
And what they meant by that was because my audience
and what I can appeal to is black and white,
So they don't think that I'm a black comic and love.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
What they said, you pull up to the arena and
with so well what that might have something to do
with it?

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
It has everything to do. What I'm saying is the diversity,
you know. And I was like, but I want, I
want all the money. But that's what Then when one
of my friends said it about you, it was like,
because y'all, you're both piled to so to both. What's
wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
They because they want they want you to love one
and then hate the other. Why can't Why can? It's
kind of like the Angel wreath Caitlin Clark. Why can't
I like Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reeths? Why do if
I like Caitland Clark. I gotta hate Angel Reafs. Why
dif I like Angel Reefs, I gotta hate Kitlyn Clark?
Why can't I like both?

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
The reason why is because this world just feels feeds
off of all negative. They gotta make you picking, You
gotta choose a side, You gotta chose sizes, and it's
all negative. Like even when I say, when it comes
to the internet, whatever, guess what bad guys can win
on the internet. You know when I first started, you
had to be likable to sell tickets. Yeah, I'm saying,
but now you could be hated and still make money
because at the end of the day, it's always about

(01:14:03):
the engagement and who is going to be the most
interested and give me the most engagement?

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Politics? How do you stay away? Do you make sure?

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Do you try to stay away from political I tried to.
It was one time when I used to put my
political views first and in the forefront because I was
passionate and felt something away about it. But I also
realized that who comes to my shows and everything, and
it's easier for me to to I'm very selective on

(01:14:32):
what I talk about because there's there's there's not just
two type of people. There's a lot of people that
pay my bills when comes up. So even when I
talk about politicists, I don't do it in a way
where I'm going to turn somebody off. Right, do it
the way where we all can laugh about it. Like
even on the Trump ship. It used to be I

(01:14:53):
used to like Donald Trump or whatever, or I could.
I could say that, and that's easy to black ois
is easy. You're gonna win with that. But now I'll
give example, I've gone see it. I was like, you know,
if I had to ask Donald Trump one question, the
question would be is where did you get a brand
new ear in seventy two hours? Right that this arms
you talk about I want to talk about and you

(01:15:14):
don't have to get upset. And then I people like, well,
Donald Trump, this is example people talking about Donald Trump
is racist. My question is if most corporations, you tell
somebody you asked me where you were, who you work for?
I worked for at and T. How many employees one
thousand people? You know? Two under them? Probably racists, but
they don't work the costume war racist. I say, I'm

(01:15:34):
too successful and I work too hard to care about
all races. Why would I care about a racist gas attendant.
You work at a gas station, not me. You know,
I don't do shit, be like anybody, but I do
certain things you have to talk about. It's hot bed conversation,

(01:15:57):
and I will, but I'm not trying to sup as.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
You went to the high school TC Williams. Remember the
Titan You remember my best friend Keith Burns went to
that high school. You're in that championship. You wasn't on
that championship team that was before you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Oh, you have a nice way to call me old
but older than you Burns. No, he that I'm older
than the kid. How old are you? You made your
same age. You know I'm fifty six. I'm older than you.
I just turned fifty seventies seventy six. Well, you weren't
on that championship team. I know I'd have been seventy
something if I was in the championship six. That's what

(01:16:31):
I'm trying to say. No that Burns won the championship his
senior year. No, he didn't hold on. Remember the Titans,
wasn't That wasn't the championship he won.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
No, I'm saying no, that was no the championship that
he burned them one of the last one that was
in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
I think coach Boone won the Chachiship in the seventies. No, no, no,
