and I felt good about it. I felt better. I exercised.
I had my son. I knew I wanted to play

Speaker 2 (08:36):

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now I could come on toenails. I could go out
and walk up steps. I used to look at steps
and way it up. I said, y'all, sure, you ain't
got no other route.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
But now I feel.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Good and you know, and I you know, you know,
and I eat what I want, but I eat right now.
I don't eat too you know, over eating them right
and food don't hold me balanced because I used to
get bad service. I used to get bad service and
I was like, man, he would root it hell in here. Yeah,
give me the poor chop and the right even though
they treated me like I'm still in that eating now.

(09:07):
I walk out, Man, I don't need this food here.
I can find a better place.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I was. It's reported. I don't know if it's true.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I think you said at one point your weight reached
five hundred and fifty pounds.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
How much did you have to lose in order to
have the surgery?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Actually, I only had to lose forty pounds, man, because
most of my weight was gristle.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Oh good. They was strange.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I was like, you really, doctor, it's all gristle, he said, man,
strange enough, it's all gristle.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
It ain't much fat.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's just grizzle, you know. And I guess because I
played football.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I was an active dude. I did jujitsue the whole nine.
So I was doing I was active. I wasn't that boy.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So he said, if you can lose forty five pound,
we could do it. And I love forty five pounds
just rolling. I just sparred and I lost forty five
pounds and I was ready for the surgery.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
How did you determine what type of surgery? Did you
research a lot of different type surgeries? Because you I
think you had the band right now, I had to slide.
I had to gas with sleep. You had to sleep.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, whar it cut out? You know cause you party,
don't Yeah, part of your stomach. Size of the stomach.
Now it is like a Twinkie.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
You got us. I win up.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I can eat a box of twinks before now or
one at the time, you know what I'm saying, maybe two,
but now, you.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Know, basically cut it down.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
And I mean cause your body can grow a stomach back,
you know, really, yeah, that's what they told me.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
They said, you can you can get it back, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
But I you know, I keep it in moderation and
you and it's a good thing to know when you
once you get it in your body, you get it
in your mind because some people are eating this or
to be in their brain, you know, like man, I'm
gonna eat all these and sometimes you do. But you
have to realize, Man, food ain't everything. It's good, you know,
but I didn't have every food in the world. I

(10:50):
didnet have everything. He ain't no big deal. And I
always ate it when I depressed. But now I find
other venues like fighting, going doing digit shoe I pay
my son, I go on stage and talk about it,
you know. So I had the gas the streamf It's
a beauty. It's the best one to me. I don't
want to get to the point where you had to

(11:11):
take end zigmes. My baby sister had that one, and
it was kind of hard because you had to get
a her stomach real small, like an egg, and she
had to take endsigns and it was kind of hard
on her, you know, and it kind of really make
you sick because you don't really want to mess with
God playing right.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
So another word, so what you do now? You could
eat in your body. Your mind will tell your body, well,
I'm full, whereas before you just ate eight eight. Even
if your body says I'm full, Even if you might
saying lavel you fool, You're like, no, I'm not.

past that pill, and they was active.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
And I said, but I've seen fat kids like that.
It wasn't you know.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
They was chunky, but they could play and run. I
remember a white boy named Dwayne, Dwayne Amley Yne Dwayne.
He was the only white kid in a black neighborhood,
and every black kid tried to beat him up for
the racist and he was like the racism and punch
attack dummy. We all every time we hate white people today,
come in Dwayne.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
And d Wayne learned how to run.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
And when he was a chunky kid, but that something
a bitch run like Hussein boat. You got three chunky
niggas chase ther ass and he ran his ass off.
And Dwayne could run. He was a fast white boy
in the world. I'm surprised he ain't become a tracks dog.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Y'all chased right, because he would have won in the
Lympics because it's mostly black track stars.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
So they just seeing the white black boys chasing them.
That all he needs. He'll running. He'll win the four
hundred in world record.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
But but uh, you know, chunky kids would just a
lot healthier then. I think the diets and changes like
my son. My wife is stickling all stuff. Man, We're

I don't know if me and my daddy dough, I'm
got to do a blood cause I ain't got a
lot of dick on him. I ain't inherit, none of
that dick. I said, shit, I must take dick after
my mama, you know. So so the white comedian did it.

(40:11):
Then an NFL player did it. He did it on
the joke show. He did the joke, and nigga never
gave me no credit for the joke. You know. But
I you know, even Tyler Perry did a joke that
was of mine. He was at the airport, he was
it was witness locate with his relocation with this program.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Whatever the movie he did, and I you know, he
get mad whatever.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
But I know he did it because he took the
trailer off because somebody, you know, and it ain't he
ain't no comedian comedian.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
He's an actor, a writer, creator, He's very talent. I
did a movie with him.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
So but somebody probably wrote the joke because he was
up there and they was in the lines of the
airport and they said, ma'am, for security reason, you gotta
take your shoes off. We got to check his shoes.
He said, take my shoes out. He said, who gonna
put him back on? That's my joke. I did that
on my special, had my thirty minutes special on comedy.
That's one of my main joke.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
You know. I said, I ain't got no bombs made
my shoes.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I said, if I had bombas in my shoes and
hery as, I am, soon as I put him on,
this ship is gonna explode, you know. And that's the joke,
you know. So, but I mean when it comes down
to that, you know, when Cat was jumping on, I said, NIGGI,
you make.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
A hundred thousand dollars a fucking show.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Motherfucker you worried about the puzzley ass joke you did back.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
From comic View. I love Cat cat is. I I
knew Kat when he was catting the hat and he
we was in stocked and he may say he alive,
but you know who I am.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I read her back before, right before you know, before wait,
before you were faming. We were doing tours with Rick
Sullivan help being u uh in Oakland.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
We did all of uh what's what's it called up there?

Speaker 1 (41:49):
We did, we did Stockton, we did uh all the
all the north northern California joints and uh Freds know
all that.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
And you know, Cat was very talent. It was funny.
You know, he was a good dude. He was always quiet,
but he was funny. He did his thing.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
But when he got on, when he blew up on
that money Mike on Friday, I said that nigga about
to be a superstar because that money Mike.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
He and he embellished every character that some bitch to do.
That's some bitch. He eats them characters up. Money Mike.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
He eat it and he rolled, he turned it. And
that's why you know Rudy Ray Moore told me something
way back. He said, use what you got, your fat,
tell about your fat, used everything you got. And Kat
took that pimp roll and metamorphosized that some bitch into
a career.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Remember he had to pimp out of the all that
shit he made. He made, Yeah, pim Crownsey.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I mean he he made so much out of that
it became he became the hottest, the most one of
the most prevalles comedians in the world because he used it.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
That's called milking your career. And what he did with that,
you know, was powerful.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
And then when he was on My Wife and Kid
and he played he played uh, David Wayne's nemesis. Man,
that dude funny. He's so talented and I think, you know,
and then a painful thing. I think that he thinks
that he's not he doesn't get all that he deserves.

(43:19):
And he and I and I understand because how hard
he goes and he is very smart and very talented,
but we him relative enough of one little Joe cat.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
I mean, uh, back then that.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
You so if somebody still you, okay, if they still
I'm not okay with you, okay, but what if they
gave you credits.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
A man, I took this joke from from l Yeah,
that'd be great. And then make the check autter the ball.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
You know, That's that's what you do, you you know,
especially if you especially if you are famous, right, I mean,
he if you blocking me and you getting all these
opportunities like because you know prime example. Uh, everybody asked
me about that mister Brown ship, right, Okay, that mister

(44:06):
Brown shit that everybody look, that's already man, when you
went up on mister Brown and David Man, he's a
nice guy whatever, But Davy Man, he went, he tried
to get me with that thing.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
We wind up going toe to toe.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
I said, nigga, I'm fat, but I got these jokes nigga, right,
And I told him that he thought he could turn
me up, I said, And I didn't kill him with
some of the bruises I could have got him with.
I said, nigga, how you calling me fat? Your old
house is fat, nigga.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
But I didn't do that. I didn't chance to ask
something like that. But I could have really tore him up.
But I just let him up just intellectually. Could it could?
It could have been worse, yeah, and it was.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
It was weird because I didn't want it to get
weird with Steve Harvey's up, it was still a show
and I ain't want to make it.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
But I knew where I was. But Steve, you know,
I always climb but late. But what where that all
came from? We did? I was asked because I did
to clean show. People don't know. I don't have to cut.
We did it.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
I did a show this weekend here Netflix called let
There Be Laughs, you know, and Fred Hammond he hosted
It is Everything with a nephew, Tommy, and I went
up and did forty minutes live without even a cousin.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
The people laughed so hard, game and standing ovateer. But
I be I can probably go to the church circuit
and probably be just as famous I am over here.
So but I just you know, I mean, God guide
me where you want me to. But so anyway, so
I did this mega fest for TD Jakes.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
No did he did there? Come on? Cop hold the veil?

Speaker 1 (45:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (45:41):
No, No.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
Only reason I said did he wasn't there? Then the veil? Man?
I mean, man, we're gonna swallow that move on. No,
didn I didn't get that.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
You might need to pull you one to No, that's
the symptoms of that.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Come yeah, that slipped out. I work.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
My brain was like, no, don't do it. My tongue said,
funk that we're gonna do that. But we was at
the megafare. I this was the second time I did it.
David Man was don you may not admit this. You
know black people, I am.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
He did this joke.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
It was so similar to this joke that I did
on Laughing for Looser. It was just it was pretty
much the same joke, right. I mean, it's a couple
of people do it. You know, I ain't gonna put
him out there, but they know who they are and
they do the joke. It is my joke, and I
did it on laugh of Looser. It got a big
standing over talking about you know, I said, I went
over my white friend Jeffrey House, and Jeffrey you know,

(46:52):
it's a different world over at Jeffrey House because we said, hey,
well well come on in, man, we're gonna go there
to play with somebody toy you know like that. I
used to go over his house because he was the
child and he used toy. Hey, you know, his mama
buy him every joy. He had the g G I
Joe with the konfoud gever. You had a six million
dollars man. You can remember the man when you look
behind it the head and you had buying a vision.
He had even Nieva. He had all the games. And

(47:12):
I used to go over there and play with something
when he wasn't looking. Still a couple take him on.
So so I went over there, and I went over
this house and we were going upstairs. Say come on
to vet us go upstairs before he can get upstairs,
you know, you know, I said. His mother said, wait
right there, messr you hold it. Wait there, don't you
move another muscle. You don't you go up that stair.
You need to clean your room. You're you're not gonna

(47:33):
have company. You mightn't clean your room. You need to
clean your room pronto. And I was like, oh shit,
I said, white mama, just like black mama. They don't play,
you know like that, you know. But Jeffrey looked at
his mom and looked at me, moved me out the
way and stepped up on his mama like Clint east
Wood and saying, look here, lady, I have company and
we're going upstairs and have a good time playing with

(47:53):
somebody toy.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Some of them are missing. I think Levell took some.
But I'm not gonna say anything. And we're gonna have
a great time. And I'll clear my room and I ready,
and you bring up some cookies, some of them lemonade pronto,
you know like that. And I was like, oh, I said,

Speaker 1 (48:13):
I said, run, run, run, And all this mother did
was go what And she went and she just ran
in the kitchen, didn't do nothing to them.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
And I said, holy shit, I said. I said, hold on, man,
I said, I said, hold on, Jeffrey. Now you sit
up there and talk to your mom. Your mama about
to kill you. You better get to hell out, he said,
little Vell. Look here one thing I've learned in the
eight years of my life on this earth.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
I've learned that if you stand your ground, you talk
to your mother like an adult, she has no other
way but to treat you like adult.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
I said, I hear you, Jeffrey.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
But your mama writing in there loading her clip right now,
she about to put it put ten in your ass
right now. I said, no, no, I guarantee you look
your mother in the line and stand your ground. She
has nothing else but to respect you.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
And I say, test you lie.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Before I can say another word, his mother came up
there with cookies in lemonade, said, you guys have a
good time.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
I said, God, damn you try. I said, yeah, I said, Jeffrey,
I can'tnot stay.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
I'm gonna take my cookies and my lemonade and some
of your toys and to go cause I got to
get home and inform my mom up the new room.
So I got home and I'm ready to I drank
my cook eliminating ain't my cooking.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
I got to that screen door, I kicked it over.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
My mama looked at me and said, I don't know
what's wrong with your foot, but you better keep it
off my screen door.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
And I just looked at it like this. He said, boy, I.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Don't know what you you're playing too much, but you
know that trashman waiting on you to take out to
the dumpster.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Now gonna take that trass out. I said, oh shit,
hear my moment, my moment.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
And then I said, I said, I said, you remember everything,
Jeffery saying.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
I said, look here, lady, I said, you're a cure.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Lady right now, I said, I told her, I said,
I said, right now, I'm going upstairs.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
They player was on my toy, did I know from
Jeffery House? And I'm gonna have a good time. And
I want you to tell you right now, lady.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
And then and before I can say another thing, I
thought I was still talking. I was in the hospital
like like three months. I had to shoe up my asss.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Down there killed me. I got a hospital. I was nineteen.

Speaker 1 (50:21):

I ended up on the lap of loser and everybody
ran with that. Mother buy because see, I write, man,
I can come over, I come up with stuff all

everything I give.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
I give taglines to all my felt me. I don't
charge them.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I see if I see something funny. You know, that's
what you do in the community of comedy. You give
somebody ideas that they could work. And they was like, like,
my I got young guy Isaiah Kelly. You met Isaiah
because he came up in front of you not bringing
me on the show. He said, you said you're gonna

I would love to be a comedy writer because I
come up with some great.

Speaker 4 (51:43):

Speaker 1 (51:46):
People because my mind it's different. It's on another level. Okay,
I don't. I don't write.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
See, I ain't afraid to say shit about my insecurity.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Anything I talked about my dig ain't big. I talked
about all these things about myself. I said like I
did a joke. I said, dann a lockdown, I ain't
ash to do. And my dog kept coming around licking
his ball, and it was, you know, every day, be
in front of me licking his ball. It was so disrespectful.
But after a while I started getting chained by it.
I was like, man, just your balls can't taste that

(52:19):
damn good. And then I finally snapped said, get your
gay as out of here, look at your ball, get
your hands out of get your ass out of here.

Speaker 4 (52:27):

Speaker 1 (52:28):
And the dog got up slowly and looked at me
like to say, hey, he And he was right, because
if I can flick.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
My own ball, the interview wouldn't be going on right now.
I wouldn't even be married. But that's the jokes that
I come up with. I go there because you tell
jokes like I.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Don't know if you saw the Tom Brady roast. That's
old school, but they nothing is off the table. If
you actually were to tell jokes like that with out
that situation, I don't know how you survive.

Speaker 4 (53:03):

I'm still here. You tell Joe like that, man, I go,
I go where I go. I don't beat up people's
sexual presence like that whole I don't have to.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
But funny shit, real shit, Yes, that's funny. Comedy supposed
to be taboo. It ain't supposed to. It ain't fun.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
It's supposed to be nice. Yeah. I mean you don't
go watch no comedian to just talk about.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
I was at a birthday party and my kids. He

(53:50):
Nobody came up there and said that shit. And I said, damn.
I said, cut you out. Told one person you know,
and I can. And the way I said, I shared it.
I said, no, don't be leaving early, like you gotta

roped out front.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
It ain't nothing about five yard in arena.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Why we do this damn show I said, let me
keep my eye on the promoter because I don't know
my money here, you.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Know, and I you know, but I'm a kind of guy.
I just let it fly.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
And sometimes if you confidence in what you say, it's
just like talking to a girl, you know, talking to
a lady.

Speaker 4 (54:24):
If you say it and you're looking.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
At you, damn right, ain't nobody can jump on it,
you know, Ain't nobody can say something to you. It's
just like it's a that's the rhythm that you had
to jump on, you know, And I don't. I said,
when they told oh, you're gonna be through, I'm like, man,
you need to get your punk ass out of here.
You know. You shouldn't come to a show ready to

(54:46):
be offended, right, You shouldn't come to show and worry
about being offended.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Yeah, if you go to a comedy show, you should
be expected. You should expect.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
I mean the greatest comedians in the world that I love,
like Richard Prior, he told he he shared his life,
but he go hard. Robin Harris, he talk about it
rather that Harty, he go hard. I love people that
don't don't they go past the line? Robert Shimo. I
mean people that that people don't even look at and

(55:15):
be like incredible. I mean this, you got Tony henscliff,
he was on that roach. That Tony here the cliff
and here gay dude, and Tony would go hard. Tony
goes so hard. But what I like about Tony he
got a thick ass skin, you know. He and David
Lucas a funny young come of coming up. He be
going at him with gay jokes, and he be going

(55:35):
top with toe and he don't care. But that's how
the world should be.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
People don't have their opinion. Even if they don't, can't saying,
they gonna still judge you. It's just like I tell you,

tell people, I said, God, when God.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
Let you in, you go in like a virus. You
catch you, you catch on like bacteria.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
You you spread your ship around and tell it's over
because you know you don't know when you're gonna get
it again.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
It's just like my wife, a beautiful woman, she liked me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
I married her ass so no other nigga can get him,
I said, I said, I'll be all over.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):

nigga to ever get it. He can't never leave me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):

give it another nigga. He's gonna have to step it up.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
He's gonna have to do all the shit out that
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
I don't even got no bank account money because I'm
taking care of my wife. I make sure I business
I took care of. I do all I can for

when people bless you, you take advantage of they blessing.
If that's what Steve.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
He put me on that Hillie Award.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
And at first they would never show all the shit
I do because if they showed all the shit. One
time a person had a video their camera phone and
I was and they didn't they cut out all. They'll
cut it down because they have to. They be trying
to edit and made you fit it in. Well, who
are you selling it to? You ain't sell it nobody,

by the fuck. You don't let it play.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
So, but but if somebody put it on the video,
they take it on the jumbo try and people that
Mother got like about two three million views of me
just going going, And so when I came back and
started doing it, I started taking over the mug. I
saw every time I did the Hoodie Wards, I would
just have fun. And Steve says allowed me to be

(01:02:47):
blessed off that he put me on this radio show
and I got to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
He tried it. I was trying to do it, you know,
but I do things my way. I'm a problem child.
I ain't never been. It's like they love me, but
I go so hard.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
They don't know how to take me, you know, you know,
like you know, but when I get opportunities and he
helped me a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Only time he hurt my feeling is when he ain't
put me in thinking like a man.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
I was like, man, I thought I was gonna get

you know what I'm saying. I was just like, I
was like, why, why, why the I didn't get that opportunity,
but I couldn't hold that to regard because he let
me in.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
But one time he did let me in one time,
and and.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):

but the knack and still tide a round neck like

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
Do you know what I'm saying? He wouldn't, he wouldn't
expect it like that.

But but if you don't watch your competition, you don't
understand that their competition can be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):

to exploit it. And what I'm seeing a lot of
these people that do these skits on on Instagram and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:06:41):
And I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
I don't get that. Like I think, I'm a big guy.
Big guys, you know, you know, being a big guy,
we can't always get in where little Kevin harkn get
in because he don't look as dangerous as something.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
You know, big guy like me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
My voice is strong, they might not let me in.
I'm a big guy, but I'm I'm a humble guy.
But but they don't look at me like that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
That's why people say I'm underrated. It's not that underrated.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
They keep me off because sometimes they don't know how
to take me or they fear me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):

you think he has some white women? See? Thank you
you had the white white people think only day white women.
I ain't say you're only day white women.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
But white women come and clutch onto a muscle bound
nigga with a career, and it ain't no judgment either.

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
They can't go out. They seen you the gold Man.
But I ain't always. I ain't always have muscles though, but.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
A nigga, you had athleticism. Man, You've always been a
big nigga, even the biggest guy. Damn tight end and
then the game I've always been.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I know you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
You're born like that nigga. Niggas in Georgia come right
out the dirt like.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
Everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Babies come out with muscles in Georgia. How did you
know your wife was the one? When you're better?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
So weird you ask that question. I was in Georgia,
you know, and they had you remember the brown or
Brother hair Show? Yes, I do, Yeah, I was down
there doing the show for the Browner Brother Hair Show.

Speaker 4 (01:15:51):
Now I was the feature comedian they had like Rob Man, Uh,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Pat Brown. They had all these comedian on the show.
Damon Williams if we was all on the show. But
the lady come up to me saying, I'm paying you
the most money, you better keep it clean.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
And I was just like, what keep it clean? Everybody
going because ride man up there talking about washing your
coochie and all. And then she telling me to keep
it clean. And I was like, why do this? Nay
being mean to me? So I said, okay, I can
do clean. But she had so many comedians on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
By the time I got up, people were walking out
on me, walking out him, and I was just like,
oh man, I'm eating it. I'm eating it, you know.
But I didn't know it was one o'clock in the morning.
Being a comedian, I ain't giving shit. I see a
crowd out there at one o'clock in the morning, I
don't care. So whatever the case may be, I got
done with the show.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
And I was like, man, getting the fuck out of here.
You know, I'm mad and shit you ever seeing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
A Purple Rain performed and he thought he did bad
and he started turning up the room and they said,
Prince say love you, you know like that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:57):
He was like two hundred people wanted to see me
out there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
So I go back out there and this one woman,
she she had a blue jean, blue jean jacket, that's
why I call the blue jeans.

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
She had blue jean pants. She had her hair tied
over the side, and she was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Just hanging out and she came up. She said, I
want to picture with her, And she said, I want
to picture with you. Can I get a picture? I
said sure, And she whispered in my ear talking about
where you staying at? And I was like, slow down, girl,
I was saying, yeah, look, I ain't even I said,
I told her though I told her.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
I told her, I said that the holidays.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
I ain't telling her my room, just in case she
was a serial killer, you know. But the strange enough,
she was staying me and Tony Roberts. We was we
went over to eat at the Dennis at the day's
end where she was staying there. She wound up lying
and saying and she was my wife, and she needed
to leave me a message on my hotel phone, so,
you know, speaking things that existed. We started talking and man,

(01:17:56):
we'll be on the phone for hours all the time.
And man, we had always topsy turvy you know.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
But you know she was beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
When I saw man, she was gorgeous, and I was
just I couldn't believe she really wanted to be man
because I was five fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:18:10):
Then you understand. Yeah, but I was flying though, nigga,
Yeah wow, we go wild. You see that wow ship.
That wasn't too much wild for that wow wow. But
I was flying. I had on my letter trench jacket,
and I had my had on, had my listen. Yes, nigga,

(01:18:32):
keep myself common stop. It might have been just one
fat cat, but but I got it there. I got
it in uh Sacramento, and it was like the big
and tall.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
You know, you go to be in tall the right time,
in places where it's warm, you can find the best
all the best letter they had, the best player had
a California big and tall up there. I used to
come to California for that only they had all the ship.
But anyway, so we just started talking every day.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
We had our ups and downs and all that stuff.
But she was just in my life.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
And you know the thing about it was, this woman
got in my life. She made me better because she
made me be accountable for everything. She put my son
into where I had two kids. She had two kids
when I met her, and they were great kids. They
fell in love with me. We had a we had
a down point, but I knew once I was on
last time I'm standing after, I was gonna blow up.

Speaker 4 (01:19:30):
But I wasn't feeling I felt empty.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
If I blow up and don't have nobody and shit
share it with because you know, that's when you you
can be single all the way up to when you
start making it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:40):
When you start making you need to find that. Yeah,
you need to find it. And uh and and I
realized I made up with her. We worked it out.
We had some we had some trials, trust me, and marriage.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Ain't always easy, but I ain't easy to get along with,
and I sure she ain't able. We worked it out
and we made a beautiful thing, made some beautiful kids.
We fell in love. And man, since I've been with
my wife, I've advanced more. I slimmed down. Were on property,
we on businesses. We you know, we we just graduating

(01:20:17):
the bigger and better things.

Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
Every day. She makes me better, I make her better.
So that would that have been possible without her in
your life?

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Do you think you could have been where you are
now without her by your side, without her supporting you
and giving you off of you and encouragement, because, like
you said, achieving all these things a single is one thing,
but once you get to a certain level, you want
someone to come home to and share that with.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Right, I think it still might have been attainable, but
it would, but I don't think. And the thing about it,
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
I think I I messed up a lot with the money.
You know, I hustled. All I knew was hustle hard.
I didn't know how.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
People get mad at Donald Trump from knowing how to
get out his tax See all taxes I knew was
h R block And I didn't even if my mama
took one she learned she took one class, and she
thought she was a tax advisor, and she would give
me bad advice.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
So I didn't know how to put my money right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
When you start making real money, that one thing puff
Daddy said, there's more money. More problem is that you're
gonna you gotta learn how to put your mind manager.
And I mean God blessed me always to get money.
I mean I always had money, but it's like you
got to atone for your money. In America, and uh
