a wash club for some reason. You always sweat when
I'm on this show, and I'm tired of people going,
why are you sweating like that? Are you on cracking?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Don't comedy tour right now?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
No, you know what I do. Kind of hate my hospital.
But the thing is, I just love working.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I've always loved working, and finally I got something I
love to do, and I'm getting better and I just
go the more time I stay on the stage, and
I think because I started.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Late, it's not like I'm tired of it yet.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Right So most most of the time, I'm like dyslexic
with life in my career. Like He's supposed to start
out doing stand up. I started out writing and producing
and creating, creating my TV show and I Wayne's Brothers
when I was like twenty, you know, writing and producing
my own movies, from with my brothers, from Don't Be
a Minis the Scary Movie, and you know, doing my
own stuff Hart the House. And then at thirty nine,

(02:02):
I was like, yeah, I think I'm gonna take stand
up serious and I'm gonna go do stand up.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
And everybody's like, why the fuck would you do that?

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Now you already made it, and I was like, because
I think there's more to get.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I think I could be better. I've been a star
for twenty something years.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
I want to be I want to be a superstar,
and the only way to get this is just doing
the work. So I just started doing stand.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Up and you had your fourth.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
I remember one time you came here, you said you
had four Specialist Planner's gonna be God Loves Me, Good Grief.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Now you're doing the Wild Child, though it says wild Child.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
The third and no, because i'd been my first two
already was it was first one was focused, second one
was you know what it is, it's on HBO Max.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Third one was God Loves Me, the fourth one Good Grief.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
And between that I had the headliners, which was me
and my boys, Sydney Castillo, Tony Baker, DC Irvin shout
out to all my people isau McGrath. And then now
I'm working on the wild Child tour. But I probably
named this one Skittles, and I'm ready to film this
like now it's a tight it's the more I keep

(03:02):
doing it. Now, I got like two hours. Now I
gotta shut the fuck up. I'm doing too much because
I can't stay on something too long because I stopped
Ruberk's cubing it. And then before you know it, I
have two three hours and that's really hard to cut
down to an hour. So I want to hurry up
and do it so I could I know my next
three So for me, I'm I'm I want to get
this done and retire it, so I could, you know,
clear the canvas and and paying something new.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Taste the rainbow. You're really about to just say fu it?
You really last time?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Last No, it's it's kind of oh to my uh,
to my my trans child. Shut your ass right up.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Tell everybody, everybody will giving you.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Triple down.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't, I don't, I don't believe in No, you
want to start this, We're gonna, We're.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Gonna keep going. We don't we don't keep on going.
You know, I'm gonna keep on We're gonna keep on digging. No,
you started it, so you know. But it's it's not
even about them. It's really about me in my transition
as a human. I throw myself under the bus because
I wasn't with the shits. I wasn't like, yeah, this
is great. When they first, you know, decided to go
down this road, I was against it because I'm like, yo,

(04:11):
you're not looking at life. You know, you're doing this
now in your youth. You may regret this when you
like forty five and you have a kid and you
ain't got no titties to breastfeed this nigga with Jesus christy.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
So you know, as a parent, I was like, you know, protesting.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
But at the same time, I went through this journey
from ignorance and defiance to complete acceptance. And I just
think a lot of people need to hear the truth
from to hear a story. I tell funny truths, things
that you know hurt me or things that you know.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I'm imperfect and I'm not all.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
The way you know there, I don't always have the
right answers, But I think it's good to be human
and be human on the stage because when you talk
about truth, now you're not just telling jokes. Now you're
actually healing the people in the audience. I got people
coming up with me after my shows crying like, oh
my thigh, and they did it with good grief, and
they're doing it now with the Wild Chout tour. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Does your son get offended that your son said Dad? Enough? Now?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Like this is You've been on the breakfast lip twice
talking about it. You've been talking like enough is that?
Oh they tired of my shit? But see you like
your college paid for?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
So what I I gotta do is I gotta talk
about things.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm sorry, baby, you know that Dad gonna do what
he do.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
You know, it's a beautiful thing about art. If you
try to tweet or even probably explain what you just
explained in an interview, didn get mad at you. They
probably try to cancel you. But if you do it
on stage in a packaged way, it'll make.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
More sense because it's your forum and you get to
really unpack your truth. It's I look at the stages,
it's a therapy session, except instead of paying a therapist
two hundred dollars to, you know, to express myself. I
got these jackasses paying fifty five dollars come see me perform.
And I'm like, y'all understand, I'm in therapy right now

(05:55):
and the audience has been my therapist.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And when I hear their laughter, I find the air.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
And you know, I'm just really grateful that God gave
me this, this this career and this this thing called
stand up and this thing called art because I always
take my broken heart and make art and I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I always wanted to know with your son, did you
have to sit down and say.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, well, explain it to me, break it down because
we come from a different place where jokes's jokes. Did
you have to sit down and play explain what you
want me to say, what you want me to call you,
how you feel this, that and the other?

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Did you have to go through that? Yes? And it
was so damn confusing because you know, they started with pronouns,
and I'm like, look, I went to public school in
New York City. I don't know about no pronouns. I
know nows and verbs. That's all they taught us, you
know what I mean. So they broke it down and
all this and it's just it's too much. And then
I got a change from calling them she to now
he and they, and I'm like, they.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
This is two of you. What's what's I don't I
don't understand.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
My god, I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just so confused. But they took me through the tutorial.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
And you know they know that sometimes I still because
you know, for twenty three years you were her and
now they and they give me grace because they know
you know.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, but you know they know he knows you still
love them.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
They know I love them, They know I love him.
I'll fight, I'll die for them, no matter what, don't matter.
You know, that's my child, you know what I mean.
And I think all parents should defend and pull up
for their children. You know that's my child, and I
want them to be happy, and if that makes them happy,
I'm happy for him.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
We saw you come to Boosey's defense when the back
and forth what's happening online with his daughter? Have you
guys spoken? I do other parents call you because you're
very open about your journey.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
No, I didn't frea see people fried me up for
coming to his defense, but I wasn't coming to his
defense I'm telling people, hey, man, y'all mind your fucking
business and let families work out they shit. That's private
between him and his daughter, and they don't need your fuel.
They don't need my fuel. But I'm telling you, when
you're ironing out your personal problems, that's between him and

(07:58):
his daughter. And everybody got something to fuck to say.
That's what I don't like about social media. That man
is dealing with his child and they need to express
themselves and hold space. We live in a society where
we're unforgiving and all we do is add fuel to
fires and watch it burn and applaud and I'm just like, yo,
let them. Let that man hold space. It takes him time.

(08:22):
When it first happened to me, it took me time.
You can't expect somebody to instant be like I accept everything.
It takes time. And God has his way of talking
to each and every one of us. We all gonna
have our sit down with God. I had mine, you know,
and he will have his and our hold space. That
that man changes his point of view and that him

(08:44):
and his child come together and love each other like
any black father and black daughter or white or daughter
father period. That's what I want, and people I don't
get fucking oh you should be said.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Shot the fuck up.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
I'm not gonna defend myself with one hundred and fifty
characters or whatever it is now on.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
X give a fuck. I said what I said. I
stand by Now let it go.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
I hold space for that man and his daughter to
come together as a family and figure that shit out
the way me and my child came together as a
family and we figured out shit out. People need the
space to have those honest conversations.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
But I agree with that. But you and your child
didn't work it out through social media. No, we didn't
an interviews talking.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And because my child been on follow me, then his child.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Replied the interview he did. That's the problem I'd be having, Like,
don't tell your personal business in these interviews if you
don't want the world to have an.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Opinion about it.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, but you know, and that's to their fault.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
That's that's that that was something. But they figured it out,
and you know, as they should. But I just hold
space and hold space for prayer and hold space within
myself that people can grow up, that people can change.
Every person should have the opportunity to change. Even brothers
that are in prison. There's a reason why there's prison.
It's time for you to sit and time out and

(10:01):
have conversations with.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
God and reform.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
But when they come out, we should applaud them for
the time they did. They did the time. Now let's
hold space that they're better people.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Now let me ask you a question.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
Oh shit, I don't got myself in trouble.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
You said prison. I'm just curious.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
How many times have people asked you, have you ever
been to a diddy party?

Speaker 4 (10:20):
They pulled up that tweet, what the fuck they gotta
do in prison?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
He made me think about it.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I've seen the baby behind you just made me think
about it.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
That's crazy. You do have a baby on all right.
So here's the thing. I've been to ten fifteen. I
know Puff since he was Puff. I knew. We went
to college together, So I went to Howard. I always
always wanted to go to Ditty party. He's at the
hottest parties in DC. I was too young to get
into those, but when I got to LA and throughout
the years the nineties, come on, man, my biggie and

(10:49):
I've been around a long time, and I will say this.
I've never I've been to maybe ten fifteen some of
this house. I've never seen shit. I have never You've
put a lot of debt to test on me. When
they're like, oh well this video is great, showed me

the deli on to the sides.

You gotta put a little you gotta put a little
so rock in your deily on and uh.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
But you know, I've never seen any of the stuff
that they say happened. I've never been to a freak off.
That's just not and that's just not my vibes. That's
not Wayne's vibes. Beyond that, I gotta honor. I go
to a party, whatever. But I always got my mother,
my father and God, and you can be around things
and then go, yeah, this this ain't for me. That's

(11:39):
just never been my vibe. I don't get off. I
don't even like watching porn with BBC. No, I want
mine Dick to be the only BBC in the room.
We could watch some ladies performed, sure, but I mean
now and then you come across that one brother and
his shit it's so big, and you go, God, damn it,
Dick shouldn't be that big.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Don't that shit hurt? You be trying to make her
feel bad. That's ridiculous, all that dick.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
That's even Asian poet. Because I know my dick is
bigger than these. I'm gonna get in trouble. That was shaming.
That was dick shaming. I want to apologe.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
When you hear these stories and you know they be
tragic stories, you hope that none of this, you hope
it's not true.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
But you got to listen to the you know, the
alleged victims.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yes, you got me sweating. Damn he knew he's starting
stuck by Diddy. Now too late?

Speaker 1 (12:24):

You know I like my fall clothes.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
How you know I get to I get to floss
and show off fly ship.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I wait all year for fall?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Did you have jokes immediately? Like when you read some
of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
A billion of them? I heard puff up, I said, man,
I got some jokes for you. I'm not sure you
want to hear him?

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Did he respond.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Listen, I hear him. I've known these guys my whole life.
I've been growing up in Hollywood. When it happened to
Russell Simmons, I'm the wrong dude. I hit a nigga
on his worst day. I hit Russell Simmons and I said, hey, nigga.
It was like, after all these allegations came out, I said, hey,
nigg you having a terrible week. To this day, Russell

(13:09):
hit me from BALI in some weird stretched position. That's
still one of the funny things I ever heard. So yeah,
I hit them up on their worst day, you know.
And I hold prayer, you know, for because I know
the kids, and I'm just like and I'm.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Not excusing any of those actionals. I saw the Cassi tape.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
That hurt my feeling, and it hurt my feelings to
see a black man do that to any woman, or
any man do that to women. I wasn't raised like that.
But as much as I see that video and I
heard for her, you know, there's a part of me,
and that's what I mean, hold space. There's a part
of me that hurts for that little boy in there
that was taught that kind of toxic behavior, and I

(13:49):
pray that he heard, he heals. I pray that he
like he's sitting with God right now. I don't need
to throw that man under a bus. God is talking
to puff right now, and that's between God and him,
and whatever happens happens, and that's between him and God.
But I'm gonna pray for those kids. I'm gonna pay
for the family. I'm not gonna act like stuff didn't happen.
And I ain't gonna act like Nigga. I ain't got

(14:09):
no jokes. I got some wonderful jokes that I got
in my show. Oh everybody got a baby old joke.
He got a thousand bottles.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm on my way to Vegas.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
I mean, Atlantic City. It's gonna be a car ride.
We got thousand bottles of baby all on the water.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
But everybody got jokes.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
And he know what it is and the kids know
what it is. But you know, I don't want to
kick him in when he down. And I think, like
I said, man, I know I know that family, and
I pray for more.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know, you know also to man that the thing
I love about comedians.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
Comedians say things and have conversations that everybody do be thinking.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I saw you on Shacks podcast. Okay, but I do
now Shack podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
You talk to me like he don't be behaving.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
You talked about a joke that you you didn't want
to say, which one the Oh no, you ain't gonna
get me to say that shit.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
I just said that Magic Johnson had the good age.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
What age did you.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Get if you lived fifty years? I want those ages.
He's become a billionaire with age. Give me those age.
What kind of age is this financial aide? You all
of us have had that conversation amongst each other.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
You see the judgment over here. Listen, he said that
I just don't.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Everybody has observation.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Everybody talks about it.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
And here's the thing. Either you're gonna get bad about
a joke or you ain't. And if you get mad,
you fucking leave. I'm not gonna retract statements. I'm not
gonna retract jokes. They are jokes. If I didn't go
in these dark caves to find this little light and
this little alixa called the laugh, what the fuck am
I doing this for? I'm not gonna make everybody laugh
at one time. I hope to tell the right jokes.

(15:48):
That's why you go on tour. That's why you you
work it out. That's why you you throw different things
out there and you let them blow up in your face.
You're like a scientist. Let me put two parts of
oxygen one part two parthidrant bow that blows up in
your face. Well, let me try it this way. You
watch people walk out, But just because they walk out
don't mean it's gonna be a bad joke. I have
people walk out on that joke, and then that became

(16:09):
my biggest joke. It was like there was like, oh,
you can't say that. Oh I offended you. Oh that
means you listening. So let me go a little deeper.
Let me dig a little deeper because I know this
oil here and when I did you know that? That
was that gave me an applause break. That's how how
much people laughed about that, because it was literally ten

(16:29):
minute run of just going deeper and deeper. It started
with shack and it kept going, kept going, kept going,
kept going. They laughed so hard at the Apollo man,
I literally could go, sip me some water and take
time to set up my next topic.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
So did Magic reach out to you.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
I hope not, but I think when you see me,
he gonna kiss me in the mouth. And it's funny now, yo.
But I love magic.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I love magic, I love the check, I love puff,
I love all these dudes.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
I'm a comedian and you know my heart like, have
you not seen in Living Color? Have you not seen
don't be a minister? Have you not seen scary movie?
I have made a living talking about people. That's what
the fuck I do. I make fun of things, and
I'm not gonna be unforgiving when it comes to everybody
gets it.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
You've seen good grief.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
I talked about my mama and my daddy. So you
think I'm gonna care about like what Magic is feeling
on any or Shack is feeling. I'm talking about my
dead mother and my dead father's dick. I'm telling you,
I'm gonna go get these jokes because that's what I
gotta do. I gotta heal.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
We have to have comedians in the world, like God
created y'all for a special reason. I truly believe that,
the same way there's doctors and you know, lawyers that
you need comedians in.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
The world, and you need you know, you need journalists
you need people that you know sit there and ask
the hard questions. I seen you had that lady sweat,
the Trump lady.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
She was lrd Trump, lard Trump.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, she was sweating up storm started looking just like
her father in law. I said, this, this this crazy.
He made the white lady nervous.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
So let me let me ask a question.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
You can't go over there and getting no love for
a month. She was like anyway, she was about the
roasting time. She said, period, bitch she was.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know, I was wondering.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know, you've been coming up here for fifteen sixteen
years and we've talked about your brother, and Charlemagne has changed.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
He's evolved.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
He went to thirty see but look once again, we
get hold this space for change. Charlemagne twenty years will
tell you he was an asshole. He will tell you, Yo,
I was in a different place. I could do nothing
but shake that man's hand and go Yo.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Love for real.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Because we watched each other, bro, we had our little
spat beef whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
But I hold space for growth. I hold space for change.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Whyt' to bring your brother up here next time because
he's changed, because he's light.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
That nigga, don't change. He stayed angry. Sean's still man.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
He mad at me. I don't know what the fun
I did. I think I took a shades. Sorry, Sean,
I bring him back, No, but you know what, Sean
also keeps a low profile. Sean don't be doing a
lot of press and stuff. But Sean, Sean will come
up here like he's Sean's Shawn's grown right. We all
grow and as as brothers in our industries. And there's
no time for beef, no time for that kind of

(19:26):
negative energy. I only go through negative energy to find
something positive. It always brings something positive. Positive, a positive person.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
You joke a lot, but you're positive.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
If I'm not gonna thinking I saw, is it Sean
writing on Damon.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Sean's writing on Damage Show. We're about to have an announcement.
We're gonna announce next week. I can't talk about it here,
but a big announcement coming.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
So I'm just gonna leave it at that. Like I said,
it's a big announcement coming. You didn't look at the juice.
The juice.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right now, brother to would be kind of crazy, kind
of hard.

Speaker 7 (20:03):
So this is what I do when I call it confirms, Okay,
you can't confirm or deny, but am I in the
right area If we say that there may be an
assembly of the Waynes brothers that are traveling in jokes,
I will.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Just say that there may be assembly of the Waynes brothers,
and I believe it at that.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
On TV on stage, come on.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
This it's like hot Peas and butter. I feel like
there's a belt around the corner. I'm running, no leave
me alone.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
So Damon's coming out with with uh Papa's House.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
Papa's House, that's what him and him and Little Damon,
and that's going to air in October CBS. Make sure
y'all check it out. I've been down to the set.
It's a really funny show. And uh, you know Damon
no miss and him and his son, Little Damon's brilliant.
And right now there's like sixty two ways is working
over there, so you know, the whole set is all Waynes.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
And do you all seem like a text out like
hey man, new show?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who want to help?

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Organically?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Like my sister Kim is one of his showrunners on
the show. She's writing on the show we like to.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Have family because my family black mm hmm. See that's
why that magic joke happened because I had nobody around
right now, Damon will be like, keep that one. I
got a little something more you can add to it.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
You realize that's one of the funniest breakfast club interviews.
I don't even like to talk about it. When Damon
Wayne was up.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Here O day, I think that's the one that made
him stop doing stand up.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Because that's why standing up. Theyderstanding up. But they feel
like the world became so judgmental. And I think he's right,
but he's not. What I found is the world is
judgmental on social media. When I go to comedy shows,
people want to laugh. The audience wants to laugh. The
social media got the got the studios fucked up. They

(21:53):
got the executives fucked up. They're not making scared comedies
because they're scared to make comedies. They don't think people
want to laugh. And I'm like, you are so wrong,
And that's why we coming back. We're in the full five.
We about dunk Hall and that people need to laugh.
And I know my purpose. You know, I look at
how depressed the world feels and we need to laugh again.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
His headline, I don't want to say what it is,
but just what he said.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
That's why he no more interview. See that, grand.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I gotta see what he said. And it's the way
he said.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Look I remember.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
As a comedian, that man should be able to say
what the he wants to say. For you to tell comedian,
his job is to find light. I don't care where
it comes from, how it comes. You take the darkest subject,
the dark topic.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
And you go, here's what's funny. That is what my
job is. You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
You can't criticize a fire man for not putting out
part of a fire. He goes into burning buildings to
find bodies. I go into burning buildings to find jokes.
And that's what I do for a living. And I'm
never gonna not tell jokes period. And if you get canceled,
good you know what canceled means. That means that the
real niggas is staying and them bitch ass niggas went home.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Cancel me.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Everybody don't got the back like the backing that yard.
Some communities are scared because they can't just walk away
from stuff, or they're scared that brands walk away from them.
Down and got no money and they don't have no
ability like you guys have a It's different for the
way you have.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
To stage because we have a brand, right, Our brand
has stood the test of times. We started in the eighties, right,
this is generational and now probably forty forty years. That's
beautiful between me, Damon, Sean Keenan Kim. That's two hundred

(23:59):
and thirty years of comedy between each one of us.
Like we are masters at joke telling. People trust our
brand with finding the fund the light. When we did
in Living Color, you know, Damon doing and and David
doing Men on Film, that's the first time gay people
were introduced into your living room and people felt like, oh,

(24:21):
this is safe. Even gay people loved Men on Film.
Because the way we do things is we try to
do it with kids gloves. We want the people that
we make in front of to be like, oh, that
was funny. That's why you can't cancel us for white chicks.
You don't love white chicks the most white chicks. So
the people that we send up usually laughed aloudest. And
I'm sure Magic Johnson's laughing right now.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
You know you bought that up and that's funny, right,
Like I was saying that one.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I love that one.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
I was saying earlier that we live in a generation
that's all about vibes. What happened to talent? Because you
can go back to any of those in the Living
Color cast. Everybody on there was talented. That's why y'all
still here today, not even just Wayne's brother, David Allen,
Grid Tommy Davis, and Jamie Fox is like Jolly Colefield.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
People don't argue it either.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
There's no argument of Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, Damon. I
mean because back then it was you know, that's what thinks.
Social media made everybody feel like, oh I can instantly
be famous. You can be famous, but you're doing thirty second,
three minute sketches, which is cute. But back in the day,
you had to earn it. You had to work twenty

(25:27):
thirty years in comedy clubs before you had a point
of view that Hollywood would then want to take a
chance on betting on you. Nowadays, that you got this
many followers, you got this many views, people, oh my god,
that's the next guy to bet on. No, you have
to it takes time, consistency. I've been doing this now
for now me thirty five years professionally and now I'm

(25:51):
doing stand up now fourteen twelve, fourteen years now somewhere
and now I'm just now hitting my stride.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I think my best year are ahead of me. I'm
in that zone right now.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Because it took me forty years to really understand my
art and my craft, and that's just not in comedy.
Now my dramatic is on point, you know what I mean?
Like I feel like our best years and even now
Wayne's years, people need to laugh. So that Wayne's brand.
We're coming back with.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
The comedy tour.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
I didn't say what's a.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Comedy, but I'm on a comedy toe the wild. I'm
in Evansville, Indiana. Where am I at November first?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
You in Coachella, California.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (26:45):

Speaker 5 (27:13):
And then November twenty first, I'm at Devo's Performance Hall
and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's a lot, but I.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Work every weekend because this way when I'm doing jokes,
or this way when i'm you know, I have a
sketch show, I have a movie that I'm doing that
I know where the jokes are. They're in my head
before I even say it. I go, don't say that,
go for that. Your instincts is built by the stage
because you write on a stage. I'm not at home

(27:43):
writing out jokes. No, I write my jokes right in
front of the audience and it's live or die every second.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Wow. And that's how you get good.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
What's your motivation when you hit that thing? Because you're
clearly a very motivated person. I think that one of
the best examples of that we saw earlier this year.
And you know you and Blad went through what y'all
went through.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
That nigga fu fuck him and his beard.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
You were Glad went through it.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
I didn't go through it, and I no disrespect to him.
I'm over it, like he disrespected me. I had not.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
You should see the text. How many times I was like, Bro,
we ain't gonna do this. You're saying, fuck you? Did
we evenhit that price? Bro, we don't have to do this. Well,
I'll give you five thousand. I said, Bro, we ain't
gonna do this.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Bro, just leave it alone. Were good? Bro, you wait
to talk to Eric Spears about this? What the fuck
are you telling my business on your platform? That's when
it got tricky. How you gonna tell my business to
another black man about my price? How dare you now
you're trying to make us crabs in a barrel. Now
you're trying to make me and aries you know, go
to war, And I'm like, see that. That made me

(28:48):
go That's why I'm not fucking your platform.

Speaker 7 (28:50):
Wait, he told you he was going to do that
before that the interview, hapn't.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
He told me when I when I told him I
didn't want to do the interview, It's like the price,
and I was just like, oh, the price is the price.
Let it go. You're you're saying fucking to me. I
didn't say fucking to me. To this day, I still
haven't said fuck you to him. The only way I
said fuck you to him was when he kept going.
I was like, all right, so here's what's gonna happen.
You're trying to diminish my value. You're trying to diminish
my worth. You're trying to diminish my prolific career that

(29:17):
I know I have worked hard for. Now, I'm gonna
show you revenge. Success is the man's best revenge. Now,
I'm gonna show you Me and you ain't in the
same fucking league, bro. You would. You don't have a
million dollars, a billion dollars a box office behind you.
You don't have a thirty five year creating your own material,

(29:38):
your own shows, your own SERI. I'm gonna show you.
I'm gonna go do some legendary shit, and I'm gonna
go do it to everybody else except fucking you. And
I went and did Shay Shane and he's like, you
can't get more than three hundred thousand views. I got
more views on the Breakfast Club Boom first day, two
million views. And I'm just like Enoff said.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Drop Mike.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
And besides that, fuck your beard. I don't like his beard.
It looks like Trump's wig on her face. I don't
like it's ugly. It's red.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
It looks like gossamer from the from the Looney Tunes,
you know, the one that had the.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Sneakers that monst.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Well, I was just trying to ask you a question
about motivation.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
I had looked earlier to view this eight point five eight.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Point five, but he set up more three hundred. I
was like, all right, cool, we didn't squashed it. I
squashed apologized.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
He's still talking about it. Just ask somebody else, Dean Cole.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
I'm just like I think every time he brings up
he apologize.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'm just like I accept his apology.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I am not mad.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I wasn't mad from day one and until I roasted
him on on the ground.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
You know, I was like, wait, hold up, you said
what And I went in on him and then I
went the other way, and I showed him that way
and now I'm cool with it. I ain't got no
beef with that man. You know what I'm saying. But
just just yo, what's I don't respect on my name? Bro?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Like, don't come at me like that. I'm a peaceful dude.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
And if you looked at the text that me and
him the correspondent, you'd be like, Yo, Mallin was a
classy dude all the way through. He messed up when
he started talking about my price to other people. That's
and y'all know this. Your value is what you say.
Your value is what you say, your worth is. And
if and yes, I will state the obvious as a

(31:25):
black man, no, you won't do that to me. And
I have to take that position because if I didn't
take that position, we took that position in the eighties
to kick hol open fucking doors, to let people.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, no, no, no, no, no. This is what we do.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
This is how you do us. And you have to
state the obvious. No, you won't come at me like that.
So and I if he apologized, I accepted it. I'm
not mad at him.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Your motivation because it's not just that moment. I think
about you know what happened with scary movie and how
you went to go create your own thing. Like I
feel like you need things to help wish you to
go do something now.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Because everything negative that happens to me, I go, what's positive?
How do I flip this into positive? That nothing bad
in life? It is bad. Everything is God. One door closes,
look around, there's a thousand other opportunities that come your way.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Even skittle stuff.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Everything is and everything is God. I will say that
after losing my parents, I still have I still have
a parent. God governs me and he got me through.
If I could tell you what I went through for
three years beyond COVID, when I lost sixty people that
I loved, it was like God was playing a trick
on me.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I was just like, are you kidding me? Somebody else?

Speaker 5 (32:40):
My mom?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Whoa how?

Speaker 4 (32:41):
My father?

Speaker 5 (32:42):
And when I went through that and I was delivered,
I was like, Yo, God is real. And then my
daughter at the same time, I was like, God is
real and God is so good and I'm so thankful
to know him and I'm so and I will tell
people you should find God before God comes to find you.
If He comes to find you, it's too late.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Go seek him. He will get you through any war,
any battle, and everything is positive because everything is God.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
You have it that we got the Waynes brothers back
together to do this, everything was God.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
You should know what I went through with these niggas.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
The point is everything was got Wayne brother comedy tour.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
That was tricky.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
That was all You almost got me. You almost got
me on that on But I'll announce next week and

Speaker 5 (34:00):
You you got too many questions. I can't, I can't.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
We even had up here a classic breakface people don't
talk about.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
That is the smartest dude you know. I always say
I'm the luckiest kid in the world. Man to grow
up in the house with everybody I dreamt to be
like was in my house. I grew up in the
house well with legends, man, and and so you know,
I what I do, I do it for the village.
I am only me because because of the village that
raised me. I'm so grateful for my journey. I've had

(34:31):
a beautiful time.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I mean, Damon, Keenan, Kim Sean, like everybody I wanted.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
To be like was in my house. Some of the
nigga's feet was on me in my bed. Like you
know what I'm saying, Like it's it's it's a story
that like I don't think like the Jacksons understand, like
that's it's a.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
It's a blessing man getting that story.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
When getting story which one the family.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Oh, the Wayne's family story. We're talking about it. We
actually created a sitcom a while ago. That's what I
mean by Hollywood. You know. Now for me, I really
want to go get a lot of financing because I
just want to do weigh and stuff. And I don't
need nobody telling me, hey, we're ready for you to
do it. No, no, no, I know when something's ready,
I cook it myself. That's why I pay for my

(35:18):
own specials, not waiting on y'all to tell me I'm
ready or what your runway is.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I'm ready.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
I'm gonna put this special out either way it goes. Now,
I even want to be a part of it. You don't,
And I don't need people giving me approval. I know
when something's ready. We had this thing growing up, Weighing
the funniest sitcom and it was about our family growing
up in the projects. And everybody's like, well, we're not
doing sitcoms no more. And that's why I want to

(35:45):
go finance, because I'm like, I'm gonna do one hundred
episodes and I'm gonna find the platform for it.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I don't want to ask people questions no more about hey,
can I do this?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
No? No, no, But either you want to do this cool?
If not, I'm not waiting on you.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
But a movie, a movie will be just to see
how that movie would be.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
It would be lounging and Gandhi just to hear the
champs how many ways is it us?

Speaker 3 (36:05):
But I mean they hear the story, smaller brothers and
and everybody just how y'all did it how y'all came
from growing up in a small house in Brooklyn and
taking it to where you guys.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
At and change it and all my ma hand people
get mad, you.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Know, to to how you change the Super Bowl, Like
just all that in the film would just be amazing.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think we will, and we're sniffing around it.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
We're all talking about doing a lot of stuff, you know,
for everything from a book, because it's it's all right now.
It's all about the brand and the brand right, So,
you know, I think there's a book. I think there's
a doc. I think there's a biopic. I think we're
gonna put all that together in the next you know.
But it's hard to wrangle ten people. It's that's why
Earth Wind and Fire has never had an autobiography. Too

(36:49):
many niggas in the band. You got to get all
these different all these different rights, and you need this
person rights and the trumpet players rights and the sexophone player.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
It's easy when you're soul little act. You know, it's
like one person.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
So I think we're all gonna collect, advise and get
this done because the people need it and I want
it for the next generations coming up because It's a
blueprint for them, and I think I'm a sorry if
my brothers wanted to do what I'm I'm already working
on a book for myself, but I think a collective
family story is something we gotta do.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
We appreciate you for joining us.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
You asked me all these hot questions. Now get a
collect call from Diddy from jail. I'm magic, gonna kiss
me in.
