We were like, oh, shit, because he'd be drunk.
Cubs would lose.
No one gave a fuck.
Everybody was waiting for Harry Carey's seventh inning stretch to come and sing

I was like, oh, shit.
You used to live with Viola Davis.
What?
Isn't that crazy?
How about that?
My first roommate, like, when I got here, gosh, it's so funny because my managers had passed away.
It's like when you're getting, you're like, life is tripping.
Mine managed me as if they passed away it's like when you're getting your like life is mine managed me as if they passed
away but it's like my my two okay when i was in chicago i got this guy named tk kirkland i know
tj he'll turn a room yeah he's he he's gangster hardcore but he's the one that influenced
me to come to new york really people and people when he talks they go oh he's fucking lying oh
he doesn't lie he's he sounds you have you ever heard somebody that's telling truth but sounds
like they're lying he goes he goes yeah he goes i he stole Eddie Murphy's watch. What?
Yeah, he took Puff, I think, whose credit?
Russell Simmons' credit card.
When he was 18, 19, he was stealing.
I love this guy.
Because Charlie Murphy.
You just love people who steal.
Yeah.
Charlie is a kleptomaniac.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Not with jokes or anything.
No, definitely not.
But he'll steal like a candy bar.
I do that. Oh, definitely not. But he'll steal like a candy bar.
I do that.
Oh, it's a rush.
Because I was a big kleptomaniac in college.
Same.
I stole a lot of shit in college because we had no dough.
You're broke as fuck.
I went away for school, University of Illinois, fighting Illini.
I went to University of Illinois. I was a pre-med psych major.
So this is what happened
our books were super expensive
and you're like
what the fuck is this
you know like
college is expensive it's unnecessarily
expensive so I'm like
fuck you know so what we did
was my friends were working at
the bookstore and I've you know
you have people who would work study I did library work study my friends were working at the bookstore. You have people who work study.
I did library work study.
My friends did. One worked at a snack shop.
We're in bookstores.
So my buddy would be like, listen, man,
these books are expensive as fuck.
This is what we're going to do. My shift is between
blah, blah, blah, and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah. And you know, it's cold out.
So he'd say, yo, bring your coats. It's going to be a heist.
And yeah, so we would just take books.
National Lampoon presents Ocean's Eleven right here.
We would take books, especially the most expensive ones, the texts that we didn't want to, and
then buy it and then pay for the smaller, the cheaper ones.
Right.
In the other classes.
But the science ones, we took a bunch of books because you can sell them back.
Yeah, exactly.
And you sell them back for decent money.
No, you're fucking 18, and you're getting $300 at the end of the fucking year.
You're like, word.
So we would steal.
And then here's another thing, I got to admit.
What we did, too, was we was like Operation Finals.
I'd be great if this got darker and darker.
Yeah, it's getting creepier and creepier.
That's what I love about podcasts.
Fuck it.
Let me go for it.
Let it all out.
Operation finals exams, we would go to certain dorms or certain engineering spots and start
taking everybody's books.
Especially some fuckers we didn't like.
We'd go, all right.
And we'd like calculus.
The calculus book was always the best catch.
all right and we like calculus the calculus book was always the best catch so we'd go yo we're gonna you know we come to certain like study areas and we start snatching people's shit
everybody was doing it yeah we go to the to the uh to the merch like you know you got sweatshirts
sure fighting on and my friend worked there and they had no cameras oh yeah they never had a
different time so we'd be like yo he and he'd go to the back yo i'm gonna go find that that size for you yeah just start right and he'd make sure we get stuff for
them oh we were everybody was doing it yeah steal it the snack shop we had a snack shop we would go
to yeah there was like now there's cameras now they got to go like pulp fiction they're like
if any of you cocksuckers move i'll shoot every last one of you. And this is before Google, I imagine.
So if you didn't have a calculus book, you didn't know calculus.
You couldn't look it up anywhere.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
And it was like it was addicting.
I was getting good at stealing.
I was like, man, I'm not even a thief, but I love stealing.
It was like I love stealing. And then I had buddies that got into credit card shit. Oh, we did not even a thief, but I love stealing. It was like, I love stealing.
And then I had buddies that got into credit card shit.
Oh, we did that for a while.
A lot of crime in college, man.
In the frats, the fraternities.
Oh, yeah.
Man, these motherfuckers.
Because we, okay.
In Illinois, we had the biggest fraternity and sorority system in the country.
Were you a frat guy or not?
No, I almost, my buddy was, my buddy Kyle, black dude,
he joined a white fraternity, Kappa Sigma.
And I remember moving him in, like,
this is my buddy from high school,
and I was moving him in, like, moving him in.
And the black fraternity dude saw me, the Omega,
you ever heard of Omega, the Q-Dogs?
Oh, yeah.
That's Team Avenger the Nerds.
Yeah, yeah.
You ever see Stomp the Yard?
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
So these guys,
Omegas,
they saw me moving stuff
and they go like,
hey, yo, man,
what the fuck are you doing?
I go,
oh, this is my buddy Kyle.
He was one of those black dudes
that didn't,
he always hung around white guys.
That was him.
We call him one of the good ones.
Me and Kyle were friends because that was my buddy because he related to me because i hung
out with everybody yeah you know i was always i went to a bunch of russians yeah on russians just
free booze it's free booze and free food so i was because everybody i was fun to be courted
oh it is but i was the black dude me and Kyle
were the black dudes
that people wanted
in their fraternities
right
so they'd be like
dude
they'd be like this
hey man
Sig Epps man
we're the best man
Sig Epps man
here's my buddy Steve
here's my buddy Josh
yo man

we got a great barbecue man
every year we got

hacky sack
right
so it was like and I could play my ass off by the way oh really Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, hacky sack, right?
So it was like, and I can play my ass off, by the way.
Oh, really?
I'm fucking fantastic.
I was fantastic. Oh, that was the only thing white people had on you guys.
We got the hacky sack and hockey.
But hacky sack, here's the thing about hacky sack.
If you played soccer.
Yeah, same shit.
It's the same shit.
It's like, you know, my father.
Minus the weed.
I'm Nigerian, so soccer was my first sport.
Is that your best sport?
My father, my uncles, they all played.
So that, you know, I knew how to dribble with my feet, you know.
And so when I played hacky sack, you know, it was not that,
other than these moves, I got really good at it.
But then, you know, it's so funny because hacky sack is,
you throw a hacky sack to a Mexican dude, he's like, oh, oh, oh.
To an African guy, oh, oh, oh.
He's like, oh, oh, oh.
You know, anybody that can play soccer, they just, you know what I mean?

because i um you know when i i but but being in Canada a lot, I got used to like watching a lot of hockey.
But I was watching hockey with the Blackhawks.
Blackhawks are major to us in Chicago.
Sure.
Everybody watches the Blackhawks.
Black people, we fuck with the Blackhawks.

Blackhawks are serious.
All Chicago teams are serious in Chicago.

Period. Yeah. So period yeah so it's
easy to when you had the 90s bulls yeah it's easy to have a couple losers we were we were we were
loyal to our horrible fucking teams before that chicago's legit i chicago to me is like i have a
few cities in america that i like i'm like these these are cities i fuck with city san francisco
chicago i love boston i mean those are. The major ones are like Chicago, Philly.
I love Philly.
We all love our teams.
We all have a lot of pride in our teams.
Chicago is amazing.
All the racially tense cities are the best.
Bring out the best comedies.
That's so true.
It's the truth.
Philly, Boston, Chicago, all the angry cities.
Detroit.
Detroit.
That fight over their teams.
Right.
Best comedy.
Well, tension.
Comedy's tension.
Exactly.
Well, you guys have so many great comics out of Chicago, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you had like Bernie Mac.
You knew Bernie Mac, right?
You knew Bernie Mac?
Yeah.
What?
I think he's one of the greats, and I don't think he gets put up in the-
He doesn't.
He doesn't.
And I think it's because- Comics do. We know he's one of the greats and I don't think he gets put up he doesn't he doesn't and it's
I think it's because
comics do
we know he's great
yeah
the problem is
I thought
we didn't have a chance
to see him do specials
we didn't have
specials are what keep you
keep
that's like your catalog
like you see Carlin
Carlin has like 13 specials
yeah
you know what I'm saying
18
it's something crazy
right crazy
he was like the first
I think Robert Klein or him
were the first HBO guys.
Yeah.
And you got like Chris Rock.
He has a catalog of specials, you know.
Fortunately, we got this, you know, the Netflix thing when they're actually acting properly,
giving specials to the right.
No, I'm saying.
Yeah, Chappelle did what?
Four in a year or something?
He has a catalog.
And I hope that
specials are like his podcast he's like let me throw out another one here exactly it's amazing
he just goes i want to do a special i think i need to talk to the gay community again
just another special i know this is gonna be part two of me not being homophobic chappelle can be in his fucking underwear in
his bathroom and they're like this i'm doing one out the bathroom it's gonna be prolific
the drop in a deuce tour yeah on the toilet everyone's like man that was brilliant
chappelle can do whatever the fuck he wants i thought it was just gonna be a piss but it
transitioned into a shit it was a six and a half
hour shitty
Brooke Dane Cooks record.
But the hockey thing,
let me tell you,
I looked it up
because I'm,
you know,
me,
I'm always like
looking up
like if black people
created shit
to that
because they'll be like this,
this man created this.
I go,
hmm,
my Malcolm X goes,
I don't believe that shit.
I don't know why i had to do
the malcolm x voice for the eddie murphy 80s voice i think you're lying man so i was like dude
eddie murphy's dead on yeah it's but it's the eddie murphy that was like the loud black dude
when eddie murphy did the loud black guy say it motherfucker you're right kiss your ass man i'm
gonna whoop your ass. That's so good.
It was so funny. That's like my
childhood, so it just makes me feel good.
I think about seeing the
Nutty Professor in the theater with my dad and
never see my dad laugh that hard in my life.
That's so great. Eddie Murphy, I
think, deserved an Oscar for that movie.
Because he played like 10 fucking
people. And he didn't play like a cheap
10. Those characters have heart, man. He played like a fucking people. And he didn't play like a cheap 10. No. I'm like, those characters have like heart, man.
They had heart.
He played like a mom with like a heart.
Something about the industry, it must be something against the guy.
Against comedy.
It's comedy.
It's comedy.
That's unfair.
They don't fuck with comedians at the Oscars.
But that's so unfair because-
But he should have won for Dreamgirls.
That was like a year.
Yeah.
I think there's a jealousy of actors are jealous of us i'm serious i think there's a jealousy of being
able to make people laugh like that there's a jealousy we also live much more recklessly than
actors no no but comedy's harder than that shit i'm not saying that what i'm saying is i think
actors see that we can just be free like we can just do this shit right we're waiting for a script we're just making our shit yeah it's true they gotta blow
each other be funny so badly though yeah it's like music it's like comedians that want to be
musicians and musicians want to be comedians right john mayer but i've never seen an actor on like a
late night talk show you rarely like them more true. You see an actor on like Fallon or like whatever show and you rarely like them more.
You like them more when they're the other person.
And that must be fucked up.
Like, yeah, you love me when I'm pretending only.
But when an actor is funny.
Now that goes a long way.
Because John Malkovich, man.
Yeah.
I mean, these are the best.
Yeah.
He's so damn funny because he knows everybody knows Malkovich for man. Yeah, he's a legend, though. His interviews are the best. Yeah. He's so damn funny because he knows,
everybody knows Malkovich for his serious face.
Right.
Another Chicago guy.
Ah.
Yeah, Steppenwolf.
Brilliant actor.
Steppenwolf Theater.
Yeah.
They like him for it because when he was on Conan,
one of the funniest interviews.
Really?
I had never seen him on panel.
I never did either.
Dude, I just re-watched Rounders.
That's still a great movie.
The Oreos?
That's a great fucking movie.
Great movie.
His accent made me laugh, though.
He goes, you have to make that money.
I need money.
You better give money.
That shit was so terrible.
And after they wrapped that shit.
Wow.
He goes, I made money.
You need to give money.
That shit was making me laugh. That shit was hilarious, I made money. You made money. Shit was making me laugh.
That shit was hilarious.
I love him.
Kevin Spacey, also great on interviews.
Yeah, he's very good.
He can imitate people, too.
Yeah, really funny guy.
He can impersonate Kevin Pollak.
Yes.
Kevin's a stand-up.
Yeah, right.
Keaton was a stand-up.
Michael Keaton was a stand-up.
Michael Keaton is great in everything.
Yeah, Keaton's dope as fuck.
What was I going to say?
I just had, what was I talking about?
Uh-oh, hockey.
No, no, no.
Eddie Murphy.
This happens a lot in this podcast.
Oscar's the alcohol.
Yeah, Malkovich.
So Malkovich is talking to Conan,
and Conan, to me, out of all of them, is my favorite.
And he's like this, and Conan's laughing, going,
so you said you're really good at stuff.
He goes, yes, I am.
I'm amazing at leg wrestling.
And Conan's like, what?
Leg wrestling.
No one's beaten me in leg wrestling.
He goes, I would like to challenge you in leg wrestling, Conan.
Can we pull this up, Matt?
Can you pull up the Malkovich leg wrestling?
Leg wrestling, Conan.
It's fucking hysterical.
I missed that one.
And everybody knows because people are intimidated by Malkovich.
So he's just like, he uses that as the comedy.
Yes.
He goes, I'm very good at, I would like to.
Is that it?
Yep.
Wow.
Leg wrestling.
Wow.
One, two.
This is leg wrestling.
Three.
Conan plays it up.
That's a great host.
Conan really is the best.
He's fantastic.
Yeah, but that's,
Jamalkovich, he's a funny dude.
Yeah, I like that.
Because he doesn't laugh
and he just tells jokes.
He's just being very funny
with that facial expression.
It's really cool.
But I think people are jealous of comedians.
But we do host all of it.
I think that's why it's like Billy Crystal, Chris Rock.
Not anymore.
They're kind of getting rid of that.
Well, they're scared because of Gervais.
Gervais scared everybody.
Good for Gervais.
I know.
I love it.
I think we can all agree he fucking killed it.
He murdered it.
And because people are so fascinated with British accents,
we're so amazed.
Even when these British people aren't funny,
we just think,
and then, really?
Yeah.
It's like this.
Can you believe this?
Obama?
Really?
You believe in God?
It's like this.
Yeah.
So how about this?
Fuck off.
Really?
You are an incredible impressionist.
You do incredible impressions that no one does.
I don't even want to be known for that.
No, you're not.
No one calls you an impressionist, but you do incredible impressions.
They're not bad.
Yeah.
They're great.
How much work do you put into it?
Not a lot. Like, I mcdonald what yeah i knew
norm how well do you know i'm fucked with me hard because norm i remember i would catch norm it

heard you heckled him remember when he snapped remember when he snapped did the n words do we
remember but i've seen that i've seen i think everyone remembers but i saw that that's what got me to comedy before
he did that i saw him i heard he walks into canceled anonymous meetings like kramer
i saw him do that to an old lady i was i was hosted at the laugh factory because i tapped on her yeah i i was
hosted the laugh factory and this is when i was by coastal and um you were by
i i i went i i he was on stage he gets on i bring him up ladies oh michael richard and people losing
their shit because it's fucking kramer sure and. And he gets on stage doing that shit for like five minutes.
Everybody's like this.
They're looking at him like, alright, motherfucker.
And he runs into like the wall.
He's like, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Everyone's like, get to the fucking joke.
Because the applause was huge.
And then they were like, alright, now.
That's the one thing I love about comedy. It's the equal joke. Yes. Because the applause was huge. And then they were like, all right, now. That's the one thing I love about comedy is the equalizer.
Yes.
Comedy becomes the celebrity.
It's like, okay, great.
Now, can you do the art form we're here for?
Exactly.
Well, he was a brilliant comic actor, but it doesn't necessarily translate to stand-up.
Yeah, he was on a show called Fridays.
I remember that.
Yeah, Fridays was a sketch comedy thing on ABC.
And then he went into
fucking seinfeld yeah yeah so and and he's in uhf too the weird out yeah yeah and then
stand up man that's why i stand up that's why i'd love it i go stand up is so wonderful that
it's going to filter the fuckers that aren't doing it right they're going it's going to get
you tony wood said they the joke gods are going to get you,
shall we?
The joke gods are going to get you.
Another underrated guy.
He'd be a good guest too
because he'll put him back with us.
Oh, yeah.
You need to bring him on here.
Bring him.
I got his number.
He's fantastic.
I love Tony.
And so he's on there
doing some weird shit
and this old lady goes,
you were better.
You're funnier on Seinfeld.
He goes,
you fucking bitch.
You fucking,
oh yeah,
he snapped.
Fucking losing his shit
and he leaves.
He just walks off.
Yeah.
Walks off
and they're like,
God,
you gotta come back in.
You gotta come back in.
I go,
what the fuck happened?
Wow.
He just fucking snapped
and all you see is the mic
just dangling,
shaking.
I go,
give it up for Mr. Mike.
They should bring back Seinfeld, but this time Kramer's got an anger problem.
Right.
And Jerry's like, you gotta stop saying the N-word.
You gotta stop.
Little did Michael Richards know that old lady put a hex on him.
Right, right, right.
Years later.
And what's funny is I was with Mike a week before he did the N-word rant.
Sure.
That was like the first taste of what has kind of come to be known as cancel culture.
Yeah, yeah.
I was there.
I was with this type of cancel culture.
Of course.
Yeah.
And I was with him a week before he snapped.
And then CNN called me.
And I went on the Anderson Cooper show
but Anderson Cooper was on,
he was on assignment.
It was John Roberts
who's on Fox now
and he interviewed me
and I was,
it was me and him
and I was on,
see,
I've always wanted to be
on a CNN desk
and I was interviewing me
about what do you think,
why,
Is Cooper cool?
I never,
I didn't mean Cooper,
it was John Roberts who was taking his spot. I meet cooper it was john roberts was taking his
spot i wish i was hoping it was him i thought you meant you were doing a cooper interview on his job
it was anderson cooper show but john was taking his place because he was on assignment wow i was
like fuck but john roberts is pretty well known and so i was like he goes so what did you think
about that i said i mean he snapped i've seen him snap on other people like that.
He's called people cunts and all that.
And he did that for shock value.
He's a really strange dude.
He's really.
Because when I would talk to him one time, he was sitting on the stairs.
You know the stairs at the Laugh Factory?
And I come around.
He goes, hey, hey, I want to talk to you, man.
I love your stage presence, man.
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, man, it's fucking great.
I was like, thanks, man.
I'm talking to him, but it was weird.
Yeah, yeah.
He's an odd guy.
He's an odd motherfucker.
He is.
So he doesn't know how to handle the stand-up world.
He fucked up, but I know he's not going around hating black people.
Right.
No, no, no.
A lot of these guys, I think it's a money grab you have the fame from elsewhere and your agents are like
you can make a lot of money doing stand-up build an act sure but they don't really have the tools
to do it so they don't have the humility to fail in this way they failed as actors of course i mean
like no one can question his greatness as an actor but yeah it's a different type of failure
and you need humility and you have to have humility every day you got a bomb every show is different even though you know
oh these jokes kill we don't know until you get on stage you really don't know until you go what's
up everybody you don't know it's a risk every time it's a risk every time but you're like but
i'm good enough where i've my my percentages it's, it's not really probability.
Probability happens with these fucking bums that think they can just get up there and I'll just get drunk.
Just fucking do it.
There's a formula to this shit, motherfucker.
There's a real formula because you've tested it all over the world.
And you go, I'm going to do this joke.
Damn, it hit.
There's a real fucking formula.
The magic of stand-up too is you can have the words, the cadence the cadence the rhythm but it might not work in this room for some reason and
you have to figure out why it's amazing it's a weird thing years you put in it you can go okay
that didn't work watch me do this yes i've seen that you ever seen that you're you ever been on
stage you go oh my god i'm experienced i actually did the joke didn't work but i was
able to do that i called an audible fuck i was it does feel good i get surprised sometimes when
like a riff will work and then you're like oh yeah i've been doing this every night for a long
i mean you finally got it it's muscle memory it's like you ever watching like walt frazier call game
and a player's off he's like he's aiming his shot you're like yeah you're thinking about it just trust the repetition yeah trust the muscle memory yes you're gonna make
it work if you just go it's even if you're even if you're bombing a couple riffs you're gonna get
him eventually but that's from doing reps reps and you know in other communities what you have
tips go on a lot that's it it's no magic trick no go on a lot a
lot a lot you go fuck damn they're yo wow if i didn't have the reps i wouldn't have known what
to do right with that it's like when i was in martial arts i did martial arts for 10 years out
here i did hop keto 10 years that's the steven seagal shit right that's almost it's a it's a
cousin to steven seagal shit it's like all like grabbing wrists, bone breaking, all that shit.
You can fight.
You're in great shape.
Listen.
He can fight.
No.
Come on.
You're dressed like an out-of-work ninja.
There's no way you can't fight.
I've seen you kick.
I've seen you move.
You're in great shape.
You're ripped.
He shops at a store called Under Siege.
And he's dressed like we're in a fucking cop movie together. You fuck everybody up you good yeah come on pick it up pick it up yeah
you gotta teach me your move yeah i i'd never tire those buddy cop movies
i don't know me neither there's something about them like the two guys who can't get along
yeah like whether it be rush hour or 48 hours as long as it's it's something about them like the two guys who can't get along like whether it be
rush hour
or 48 hours
as long as it's
it's all about the execution
of the people in it
it's all about the people in it
like Jeremy Piven
he's been doing
he's
he's in the comedy world
he calls me all the time
he goes
God
need some help
gotta pick your brain
it's so great that he calls you God
and he's from Chicago
Chicago guy too
he's a theater guy
from Chicago his mom created theater in Chicago and he's you god and he's from chicago yeah chicago guy too his theater guy from chicago
his mom created theater in chicago and he's like this uh and i as soon as he became a comic i
became his friend yeah yeah he's like bro you got to do some cigars man gotta pick your brain you
know and he's a really great actor yeah he's incredible yeah stand up he's getting there
sure but it's like it's hard to
start once you're famous it takes years i give him props for even doing this shit he's well
don't you think he's making insane money on the road isn't that yeah they pack it up i give you
props but also you know you're you're it's a it is a money grab too right comedy that's what i
love about comedy because comedy shows up and goes you you didn't put your time in. Sure.
And I'm going to let people know you haven't.
Yep.
But he's acting like a comedian.
Okay.
He's such a good actor.
He's acting like a comedian.
It's not intrinsic yet.
Interesting. It's more surfacy right now.
Right, right.
It's like when an actor plays a comedian in a movie and you're like, I know you're a good actor.
I know Dustin Hoffman's a brilliant actor.
You're still an actor. You're still an yeah when he did lenny i um i did
a uh indie film one time is elijah wood so i'm hanging out with elijah wood giving him tips
it was in la it was i had a comic in it he's a comedian in it how many movies do they can make
about like just cast a comic i don't know why
they don't just play fucking we can play this is how much they're jealous of comedians they won't
even let you play a comedian i'm telling you wow they're that jealous that they well i heard
do it because i heard they can feel the what it's like yeah there's rumors of marlon wayans
playing prior though i've heard that forever is that to happen? I don't know if that's going to happen.
I heard that, too.
I think he would be good, actually, because-
It's going to be Lenny Henry, I think.
He's a British-
No, the black people are playing us now.
It's a-
Yeah, Idris Elba plays-
Yeah, all black British people.
Snowfall, black dude's British.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he's British.
I was watching his interview.
I love Idris Elba. I heard the new
Western is great. I liked it. I liked it.
Is it good? Dion Cole's in it? It's very
stylized, very Tarantino-esque.
Idris Elba is... I mean, I love Luther.
I think he's awesome. Yeah, he's awesome.
But he plays American accents.
Well, on The Office, he
was hilarious. I mean, that's the thing, too. He
gets comedy, too. He's subtle.
He gets it. Snowfall, snowfall. Didn't he used to work at the Dora Caroline's, Idris Elba? He did. What? Yeah, that's the thing too. He gets comedy too. He's subtle. He gets it. Snowfall, snowfall.
Didn't he used to work
at the door of Caroline's
Idris Elba?
He did.
What?
Yeah, he was tearing tickets.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Get out.
That guy's too hot
to be tearing tickets.
And he was a DJ.
I heard he's a great guy.
I never met him.
I've seen him from afar,
but I never met the guy.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah,
they're going to do a guy
named Sir Lenny Henry.
I guess he's
he's a famous comedian guy and can i go to ire we got a photo they're considering him to do
richard prior which is that lenny henry this guy right here they want him to be richard prior i
heard mike epps was in the running mike epps was supposed to be because mike called me to help him with inflections to help him with the prior voice yeah because i could do prior
that's a game change you get that role that's a game change you have to do it right though you
really do for sure you don't want to i mean i mean look what jamie foxx did with ray i mean that's
like murdered ray like jamie foxx is a fucking great actor. He nailed it. Like perfect.
Because he's a pianist, also trained.
He can play piano so well.
It's so annoyingly talented, that guy.
He's so good.
Yeah, he's got it all.
Prior, prior, that's going to be a,
you got to really come with the fucking,
there's layers to that shit.
Because Nick Cannon wanted to do it.
There's too many Jews on set.
You can't focus you can't have you can't have a not good stand-up play prior you can have an actor you can have a bad stand-up but you gotta get
good point you got to get out you motherfuckers is crazy jack i don't give a fuck god damn
is any casting people watching this shit that was dead on it's like you have to have the yeah man and i'm i'm
just saying niggas niggas are fucked up man that you gotta wow it has to be levels has anybody seen

i need like a voice, like a coach.
Like, can you help me out?
Because you can do them.
And I said, I was like, you got to pay me, motherfucker.
I'm joking.
But yeah.
Even the hand movement is perfect.
And then it went away.
I don't know what's going on with it.
Because the wife, the one wife, his wife that he married,
he had eight different wives.
Yeah, the one with the short hair.
Yeah, she's like hardcore i think jennifer she's like really kind of kind of guarding the fucking
property right so it's kind of tough so i don't know it's going back and forth different people
are trying to play them i don't know so much goes into these decisions but i mean there's a lot of
fuck shit that goes on a lot of egos i think of course well they did a pull it up matt they did
a sam kinnison movie and the and it looked it looked rough i mean i'm sure you could find the
same i don't know if it got any play but there was a trailer for the sam kinnison guy
matt matt are you there i was just watching sam kinnison like his first letterman appearance
oh it's unreal great i mean talk about a game changer. He goes into the crowd,
like everything you'd never seen before.
He broke the fourth wall.
Yeah.
And that's that preaching he had.
That's him.
No, that's not it.
That's the real him.
He's like a dog.
That's really him.
I was like, that's really good.
No, that would be good.
Chris Rock says he changed the format of stand-up.
Really?
He really did.
He really did.
He was very conversational.
His fucking, his long jackets is terrible just terrible yeah yeah it looks like hell two two funny things about him one preacher yes who
was in a car accident religious family fucked his head up became a stand-up rosanne was just like a
housewife got into a car accident started doing stand-up wow it's something weird about that

Did you know Robin well?
Oh, yeah.
I did shows with him.
He came to the cellar a few times.
I met him at the cellar once.
We chatted for a long time, and he couldn't have been cooler.
That 98 photo that you see in the cellar, I was there.
Whoa.
I think I was hosting that day.
Yep.
Who were those?
Any of those legends that were like, was Bernie Mac really cool to you as a young awesome he took me under his wing man i have i have a i have a there's a thing mit bernie mack
had a hbo show called midnight mac before all this other shit in chicago where he had his band

his open mic shows he had a band he would bring us up
me deon cole cory hulka all of us wow and and um i did a sketch with him it's on youtube i did a
sketch with bernie i'm 24 yeah and bernie was like you know he was like god i want you to do a sketch
you know i want you to do a sketch because you want you to do a sketch because you talk real proper and shit.
And this sketch is a motherfucking agent.
Wow.
I'm going to come to the hallway.
You're going to meet me at the motherfucking bar and do that.
You talk real proper and shit.
And I'm going to need that motherfucking, you know,
put on college shit.
That's incredible.
So I was like, all right.
And I think you look up Midnight Mac.
I think it should be Midnight Mac. Maybe you'll – I think it should be Midnight Mac.
Is that it?
He doesn't have a ton of specials,
but if you want to see quintessential Bernie Mac murdering,
he's got the last set in Kings of Comedy.
You know, it's D.L. Hughley, Steve Harvey, whatever.
But he murders that thing.
It's an incredible set.
Him and Steve Harvey were rivals. Oh, really? They didn't like each other? murders that thing yeah it's an incredible set him and steve harvey have um were rival oh really
they didn't like each other they didn't like each other um because it was like they were fighting
because bernie um steve harvey couldn't follow um bernie of course so he had to host because
bernie was murdering and they were like, I know GQ Magazine interviewed Bernie saying,
yo, I heard you got you, I heard you're, are you upset at Steve Harvey?
Are you upset at him?
He goes, he's not good enough to make me upset.
He said that shit.
Because Steve hated on him so much.
There's, do you know Anthony?
Oh, God.
With Steve, do you know Steve Harvey at all or no yes I know Steve
Chicago Chicago no he's Cleveland but he but he always came through Chicago okay I would see him
at this we had a club called was he good was he a good dude to you he was cool he actually because
I was in a comedy team for a year it was Godfrey and Alexander a guy I was with big tall dude and
he was fucking up because he would he didn't because a duo was hard a guy I was with, big, tall dude. And he was fucking up because he didn't – because a duo is hard.
Yeah.
And I was writing all the sketches.
And then I was in the hallway and I was pissed off and Steve came out.
Steve was like, yo, what's up?
What's up?
What you mad about?
I was like, I'm just my partner.
He's not remembering his lines.
He's always up there drunk and shit.
And I remember he goes – Steve goes, how much money you getting? I i was like i'm getting about we're getting like a hundred bucks as i first
started he goes you tired of splitting that shit yeah he's like cut his ass wow i got a photo with
steve that day when he told me this wow yeah steve yeah and then i opened that's when i opened up for
jim carrey what yeah yeah yeah yeah this is too much gold here i'm sorry 1995 I opened up for Jim Carrey. What? Wait a minute. Yeah, yeah. We're talking too much. This is too much gold here.
I'm sorry.
1995, I opened up for Jim Carrey at Illinois Institute of Technology because my friend
was an engineer and she was running the student activity.
She goes, you want to open up for Jim Carrey?
I said, are you fucking kidding me?
It's one of my favorites.
Jim Carrey is a big influence on me.
I mean, that's after Dumb and Dumber, The Mad.
This is 95.
This was like, yeah.
And it was like he was really coming, he was starting to get
really big, and I opened up
for him, I have a photo with him,
and we were in a basement.
It was me, him, and Harlan Williams.
Harlan Williams is great.
I love that guy. And Harlan still remembers me
from that day, and I go, that's how I
became good friends with him. And I remember
he was the nicest dude.
I remember his managers asked me, hey man, you're a big Jim Carrey fan.
I say, fuck yeah.
He goes, just trying to make sure that your style is not the same.
He said, I go, nah, I'm totally not.
I go, he's but a big influence on me.
He goes, we just want to check because we don't want same shit.
And I respected that.
Because we want to make sure everybody's doing it.
That's why Harlan's so different than Jim.
Right.
Even though they're both Canadian. I go, no, I don't i don't so i i kind of just kind of underappreciated he really is i
think he's a really funny guy he's really hey scooting what's your name oh what's your name

Okay.
What did Jim say to you?
Do you remember any of the conversations?
No, he was just talking about what he's doing next and stuff.
And, you know, like how long he's been doing it.
If I remember, he was just really, it was just me and him.

So we sit and we talk at the olive tree for like an hour.
He's giving me advice.

I love it.
Yeah, but that's, yeah, that's, I got a lot of fucking stories, man.
It's like, once you stay around, you know, you guys are collecting.
You're collecting stories.
Yeah, you know Jay Leno, Sandler.
I met, yeah, I don't know him.
I don't know him, but I met him.
Sandler, my story with Sandler is when he came, was doing comedy again,
and we were at the comic strip.
The comic strip was dope.
And he was.
What happened to the comic strip, man?
It got. It was dope. It was to the comic strip, man? It was dope.
It was dope as fuck.
It got corny.
Me and Papa were comic strip guys.
I love Tom Papa, dude.
Me, Papa, Judah Friedland.
We were all uptown dudes.
Yeah.
Before I, it was Boston Comic Club.
But that lineup, you, Judah, and Tom Papa, that lineup.
That's killer, man.
Yeah, it was me, Papa.
That's old school.
Yeah, it was all of us.
And Maceo. It was was all of us and Maceo

voice was when he had a regular voice yeah tinkin and lucian and that was when it was cool man
and then i don't know what the fuck happened thank you it's either i don't know if it's managed i don't know something changed
one day you gotta care so much to keep a comedy club you have to care you have to keep it's a
culture you can't be distant from it you have to be really in it and you really have to see that's
why sd is and they're so hands-on right but that's what keeps it decent yes even though
there has leaked there's been some whack shit leaking into the cellar.
Oh yeah.
But,
but it's still,
it's still,
it's still a good club.
It's still good shit.
Yeah.
There's still good.
Even with issues,
it's the best club.
It's still the best club because of the hands on.
Yeah.
See,
if,
if Manny were there,
Liz is so on.
Liz is so on shit too.
And you need that. You need that kind of, you need on shit. Liz is more passionate about it. Noam is so on shit too. And you need that.
You need that kind of, you need that
shit. You need it. Because when
Manny was here, alive.
Manny, you've seen the photo of Manny? Yep.
Noam's dad? Oh, fuck.
That dude didn't play.
He was funny as shit.
Noam is scary because Noam
sounds like his father at times. Right.
It's scary. Noam will be joking.
I go, you're doing exactly like your father.
He literally is his dad.
Noam really, really cares.
No, he is a fuckhole.
It's really, and he's a good man.
He's a good man.
I remember when the New York Times did that story on him,
and they tried to peg him and stuff, and I was like, man.
Yeah, it sucks.
You don't know how good a dude this is.
He's really a good dude.
He has his things where you're like, fucking Norm.
Every person has their things.
Everybody does.
You're running a business, first of all.
He is a good man.
He's a very good dude.
And he does right by the staff and by the comics.
Yes, he pays the most.
And that's hard to do.
Well, you like, his father ain't there.
His pops didn't give a fuck how you felt.
I remember his father would do this.
If someone's on stage, him and Esty was speaking in Hebrew.
They'd be like, and then Manny would go like this to me.
Get the fucking cane.
And you're like, get him off.
Whoa.
Manny was funny, though.
He had jokes.
One line, Manny was fucking funny.
Well, they said he would hold court.
It was a Colin, Patrice, Apollo, and he was holding court. Do, they said he would hold court. Was it Colin, Patrice, DiPaolo?
And he was holding court.
Do you miss that time at the Cellar?
Yes.
Do you miss like Patrice and Geraldo?
Yes, Geraldo, Patrice, Burr, Voss.
It was all of us, just all of us ripping on each other.
Artie, Ian Edwards, Dina.
It was all of us ripping each other to shreds.
Yeah.
Dogging each other. Jim Norton.
I mean, we'd be talking
about politics and race and we'd be
talking about real shit. Yeah. Because
Geraldo was brilliant. He's a Harvard lawyer.
Brilliant. Brilliant.
Everybody was...
Judah has a degree in film
from NYU. So does
Attell. So does... I mean, I
have a degree in psychology.
I was, and we all,
everybody could talk, you know?
And he would bring politicians.
We had politicians.
Professional talkers.
Right.
Yes, he would bring politicians.
Manny brought politicians to the table.
I mean, like famous motherfuckers
came to the table to talk to us.
And he would take us
to the Martin Luther King celebration.
He was part of the core. He was part of the the manny's uh noam's dad was on the the board of the martin luther king
foundation so we would go i met hank aaron lord bush yeah did hank aaron have the biggest hands
ever man hank was like how you doing i was like god damn all right all right p man fucking legend yeah so baseball is really like we've lost
something great and i don't mean to sound like old america here but like baseball was so big
and it's kind of it's lost a little bit well corporate it's corporate now and people don't
stick and it's like football nobody sticks with their teams everybody goes where the money is
which i don't blame them because football- But football, NFL is horribly run.
It's horribly run.
It's like no different
than boxing.
It's just,
but you go for the money,
which I don't blame.
I like Gruden.
No, but when they,
here's when you know
the NFL really fucked up.
They're literally
giving these players CTE.
And I liked them too.
Shit.
That hurt, man.
But you're giving
these players CTE.
You're killing them.
They're getting blackouts.
There's no long-term health coverage.
And then you're fucking getting mad at them for doing end zone dances.
Like, are you fucking kidding me?
Yeah.
They're dancing.
It's silly.
What if he just got his CTE results?
Oh, shit.
I'm cleared.
No memory loss.
But the table was this bastion of thoughts and provoking and all that.
And now it's so weird.
Like, I said cunt at the table and somebody goes, whoa, watch the language.
I'm like.
Oh, we got to go.
And it's not even like a PC thing or like whatever or offended thing.
It's like, what are you doing?
We're talking.
You're trying to talk about my wife.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's fucked up because what we used to do too man i man what we used to do too is like we'd go down like say vos goes down on stage and we'd all come down and stand in a
doorway and wait for him to do some whack shit we go nah or we'd walk past to the bathroom and
upon purpose to keep distracting keith would go
maggie does that to me maggie still maggie does to me all the time well he'll see me on stage
and he'll keep doing this he'll do this he'll give me middle fingers yeah he kept us sharp we
dogged each other we'd be like oh and when when norton would be like oh colin your cancer legs
i'm sick of your cancer why are you crossing those cancer legs, you piece of shit?
And Colin would be like, I'm finished.
I'm fucking finished.
It was great.
It was great.
It was almost like a ball team.
It was like a squad.
We would disagree and shit would get heated.
I remember, man, I remember this shit.
9-11.
When 9-11 happened happened they had opened up
after about a week
they started opening
we started doing shows
for the workers
you know
I did a theater
where all the workers
they were dusted
they had the dust on them
still
we had to do shows
yeah man
we had to do shows
and I remember
it was me
Marin
Chris Rock
DePaulo
how was this said
I gave it a ground zero.
It was pretty bad.
Corey Ellie.
We all did a show, and I remember Mitch Fatel.
Mitch Fatel went on stage and was doing his little boy shit.
You know how he goes, oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
That shit.
And we were at the table, and we went upstairs,
and we're at the table, and Mitch Fatel comes on stage and goes, hey, what's up the table. And we went upstairs. And we're at the table.
And Mitch Fatale comes on stage and goes, hey, what's up, guys?
And Mitch is cool.
I'm like, hey, what's up?
And Nick goes, really?
That's what the fuck you doing on stage?
Acting like a little fucking kid when people are fucking dead bodies and da-da-da-da?
Wow.
What the fuck's wrong with you?
He just snaps on him.
He goes, I don't.
The Apollo just blacks out on him. Wow. I go, I'm like, what the fuck's wrong with he just snaps on him he goes i don't apologize yeah blacks out wow i go i'm like
what the he goes he goes dude this there's you know we got bombed right did you know that you
have any jokes on that you're not even fucking talking he goes i don't need to talk about that
i'm not i'm giving he's going the escapist right i was like man i was like yo nick leave it there
that's what he does man the fuck you talk about that guy it was still fucking he
goes he goes what the fuck was that he's like yeah he was like it's bullshit you know you're
fucking grown man he just gets he just snaps yeah yeah that's happened before stuff like that
happens every once in a while yeah you know what i mean yeah yeah it was uh yeah it was harsher
i remember arty lang sat down like two years ago at the club before COVID,
and he was like, what are you doing?
You guys are like complimenting each other.
This is weird.
Yeah, yeah, and it's like I don't like sitting at those tables really,
depending on who it is.
It's like you're afraid.
I don't know who's going to take shit for.
Right.
Yeah, we used to shit on you.
Like Patrice would be waiting like job of the hut he'd be
sitting waiting and you'd see the waitress chain to his leg and he'd be sitting and you'd walk in
and he's just you're about to get you got to get fucked up i know and he'd be like
yeah what the fuck are you wearing you know right and we but that's what we did well you kept each
other in check now we talk about safe spaces and all that shit i'm like i'm scared of you i'm
scared of you ratting me out or tweeting or whatever like you're scary yeah i'm just gonna
say a offensive word or a joke yeah it's sad that's and that's what that's why a lot of the
comedy for the ones that are all pc it's weak
weak shit well it's important to have like i'm not saying that like we all need to be careless
but like it's nice it's offensive it's nice having anything goes table yeah it's nice to have like
one place you know you can kind of just say anything you can take risks that are that are
never malicious but are you know that might walk a line of indecency.
Yes.
There's something exciting about that.
Right.
Even in a prohibition-type vibe that exists.
Yes.
If we lose it everywhere, if we lose it even at a comedy club, then it's just lost.
Yes.
It's lost.
Exactly.
It's not fun.
And people say, how is this affecting you on stage?
I go, what?
I'm like, I haven't changed shit.
Same here.
I'm not calling people the F word.
I'm still doing those jokes.
But I'm, and it's nothing wrong with, okay, you know what?
Instead of there, I'll tweak it and go here.
That's cool, but I'm not losing the integrity of the joke.
I'm going in.
Exactly.
I'm going in.
I did LGBT shit all day this weekend
i was doing lgbi's like i have this joke where i go the lgbtq they're bored they're bored
because gay my gay friends gay people like to be noticed let's be real the culture is very
it's flashy it's very flashy it's very very like, hey, I'm here. Right.
We know.
Look at Miran.
Yes.
Kigani.
Rhinestone.
Yes.
Sequence.
I love that.
That shit makes me laugh.
Yeah, it's great.
We love Miran.
They don't like.
He's so fun, that guy.
And the fact that they're being normalized, now that you got your rights, now you're being normalized.
No one cares now.
That's pissing them off.
Interesting. So they go, let's go fuck. That's pissing them off. Interesting.
So they go, let's go fuck with them.
Part of their identity was to stand out.
So they're like, we used to be like, oh, now let's go fuck with pronouns.
We're bored.
So I talk about that.
And it's working.
But I'm like, you guys are bored.
I'm not dogging the LGBT.
I'm saying you guys, it was kind of better before because you guys were fire.
When you guys came, we knew you were here.
We loved it.
You were loud.
Now, no one gives a shit.
Right.
And now you're upset.
Like, damn, this is not cool.
We're not normal.
That's a funny angle.
I like it.
And it's also not even, you're kind of criticizing from within.
You're not saying, I don't like you.
You're saying, here's a funny observation.
Right.
I mean, that's it, right?
If they want to be normalized, okay, we should be able to make fun of you now.
Yeah.
Aha.
Yes.
You're welcome to society.
Right, right.
But you got to make up your mind, your special interest when you get to the fucking comedy
club, but then you want to be normalized outside.
That's not how it works.
Can't have it both ways.
We get jokes from normalized society.
Right.
That's what we get.
We get jokes from the society right we get we get jokes
from the life we live yeah so you if you want to be treated like human beings i should be able to
joke about you from a good place but there's a lot of funny shit in the gay community because
gay people make fun of it yes when when it's a form of welcoming right when uh miran goes yes bitch yes yo suck a dick and it's hilarious great

comedy is the closest thing to justice like you put jack nicholson on stage he's beloved he's got
the sunglasses everybody loves him but after three minutes you're like all right buddy you
gotta make us laugh done done that's what i like even with the insta i don't know how you all feel
about the instagram comedian when when i see people go comedian that title yeah comedy needs That title. Yeah. Comedy needs to be like the armed forces. It really does.
Fuck yeah, man.
I'm like-
Like Branches, Barbie, Amy.
Yeah, the green room is an example.
I've come into green rooms where there's a comic.
I go, who are you?
Oh, I'm a local comic.
I go, are you on the show?
No.
Why are you in the green room?
Oh, yeah.
That's pretty ballsy.
Why are you fucking in the green room?
That's ballsy.
That's not your weekend. I don't give a fuck who you i don't care if you won uh uh oh
kansas city's greatest funniest fuck out of here man yeah there's no there's no pecking order you
have to have a peck it should be like the armed forces if you're a cadet you don't talk to a
private you don't talk to a general a certain way. Oh, interesting. It should be like, hey, man.
Unless they talk to you.
What?
Unless they talk to you.
Right.
It's like if I say, hey, you know, that's how we did it.
Right.
Bernie was like, you do five minutes, you get the fuck off stage.
That's it.
Yeah.
I had a lot more fear.
You stand by the bar.
You don't walk into the fucking green room because you did five minutes.
Yeah, that is weird.
I think I had i think i had more
we had a lot of fear mark oh yeah we definitely yeah i think i think there there's a lacking of
that uh there's an entitlement now there needs it's entitlement because and that's just how i
feel like rap music it's just a lot of bums on a microphone yeah there's a lot of them women and
men and there's a lot of foreigners that
because hey i'm from tibet i'm going to be a comedian get the fuck out of here you know what
i mean i'm tibetan and then some dude named yeah that's a special get the fuck out of here but you
can't even blame them because they go on tiktok or whatever and they make a million views but the the art form is hard man yes and it takes years
it's hard man i'm a funny dude you guys are probably naturally funny like me i was a funny
naturally funny guy but the craft i said whoa whoa it's a different thing there's the craft
motherfucker how do i take this raw shit and technolize it and make it technical? How do I, boom, and not just-
Well, the way you're funny to your friends
is different than the way you're funny
to a room full of strangers.
You have to hone that.
You have to hone it to where you look like you're funny
to your friends again.
There you go, to strangers.
You know what I mean?
You want to just be like, yo, man, you just up there.
I go, I'm just up there.
This is thousands of hours of just-
Yes, trial and error, trial and error and error trial and error it's no different than
martial arts i remember when we would do martial arts at the beginning you're doing all these
dumb ass punches and shit hundreds of them right you're like what the fuck is this for
five ten years later you're like you're like and you're like oh right it's automatic oh it
made oh i see what a comedy it's like limb dick pussy yeah yeah oh yeah cobra kai but it's automatic. Oh, I see why. But in comedy, it's like limb dick, pussy.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Cobra Kai.
But it's fundamentals.
It's like I watch MMA, and they just look like they're fucking throwing up, but it's all technique.
It's years of that technique, years of that way they grab.
They have to do that over and over and over.
Even if you watch SportsCenter, you're like, that's a skill they acquired.
They're making this look easy.
So you think you could just be like,
next, coming up.
That's a skill.
Yes, yes.
Catching the football,
throwing the football,
the basketball,
the shots,
the going on.
You know how many times
they've done that?
Didn't Kyrie Irving put English on a ball?
Yeah.
That goes in because he practiced that.
He practiced that.
He spit it for him
the way it hits off the
Tim Duncan when he would do
that bass line off the back
I loved him
it was nasty
I love Tim Duncan so much
it's done thousands of times
and comedy to me is a sport
it's physical
you gotta get up there you gotta show up to practice
it's no different than sports
you're a sports guy we're sports people you have to get up there you got to show up to practice it's no different than sports you're a sports guy we're sports people you have to show up some of these motherfuckers think they're
magical yeah like they're just gonna get lucky because they're just so quirky and just smarter
than the fuck i didn't write any jokes but i put on this sweater and i feel pretty good about it
right i don't know it takes a lot of effort to be effortless yeah it's real shit and it's like
It takes a lot of effort to be effortless.
Yeah, it's real shit.
And it's like, and like I said, I don't know every comment.
I don't care.
But that never changes the fundamental.
And I remember I was having a conversation with Sam Jay.
And she was getting her, she was drinking a couple drinks. She likes to put them back.
And she was like, she goes, I'm telling you, Godfrey, watch.
There's going to be a comedian.
Watch.
And that may be not our generation that's going to be able to skip the fundamental process.
Uh-uh.
That ain't going to change.
Nobody's going to skip.
I think she's right.
I mean, like, with all of you.
No, no, no.
As far as being good at comedy, I didn't say.
Fame-wise, they'll skip.
But not skill-wise.
I'm not talking about.
Right.
Skill-wise.
I'm not talking about getting on a TV show.
But that's the difference in sports.
A fucking five-year-old can get on a TV show.
There's no basketball player where you're like,
he's good on TikTok, so we're going to sign him
with a 10-day contract.
She said that they're going to be able to skip levels
because of, I said.
Well, they won't skip levels.
They just won't be good.
I mean, that's.
But she said they're going to be good.
You do have to put the work in.
She said they're going to be good without the hours.
I go, Sam, it's not going to happen. gonna happen it's not gonna happen i'm telling you and i'm telling you um i was a
funny guy before this shit i was funny just a funny motherfucker but i had to work hard to get
an act i had to work your road dog and you're also a dude when i go to clubs and i'm not blowing
smoke up your ass here but like that's but you're doing that when i play clubs i will the staff will be
like he did a different hour every show and i'm like fuck him you make us look bad the waitress
is like oh we had godfrey last week he juggled three chairs like what the fuck i can't do that
i'm just doing if i ever juggle you know i've given up no i'm just kidding but you know it's
always three different hours.
He talked about the city for 20 minutes.
I'm like, oh, shit, I got one line on the city.
I'm like, San Francisco, falling off.
I'm like, shit, nothing.
A lot of hobos engaged.
All right, now into my prepared material.
So I'll date this girl.
Let's go to this dating this girl show.
I tell you, good crowd.
Good t-shirt really seems to fit.
I tell you, good crowd.
But yeah, you want to tell.
Every time I go to a club, we had Godfrey last week,
different hour every time, new jokes every night,
fucked with the host, fucked with the crowd,
fucked with the city.
You're like, God damn.
Yeah, I just, I mean, what I do, you know,
what I do, one of the things I do in comedy shit with cities, I go, I Google when they were established.
Ooh.
That's my thing.
A little trick.
I do, like, Baltimore is the best because I'll do Baltimore.
What club do you do in Baltimore?
I do, I do Magoobies.
I'm back to Magoobies again.
Timonium.
Right, Timonium.
But now I do the Comedy Factory, which I did for like eight years.
It's urban, very black.
And I, but I do this joke where I go,
Baltimore, say 80% black,
but named after a white man with a cape.
It's like, Lord Baltimore.
And everyone's like, yeah, that's true, man.
I said, imagine if he came back
to see what happened to his city.
And they fucking die.
And he says, and he says, sire, Sire, you have to come back.
Look at your city.
What do you mean?
And he's like, oh, my God.
Oh, black people are going up.
See, you built a whole little world out of that.
What just happened?
And then people are like, yo, man, who the fuck are you?
Coming on after Game of Thrones.
What do you mean?
And there's just ways just to come at different angles.
I mean, sometimes Google, Google the city, Google some shit.
For sure.
They fucking, when you do that, they go, oh shit.
You put a little effort into the show.
Put a little effort.
Make it a little special.
It goes a long way, man.
What are your favorite cities to play other than like New York, Chicago?
You know what's weird?
I like, because if you're funny, it don't matter.
Yeah. What is it to you? Cities are like, I just like being here. I love Houston. Houston. You know what's weird? I like, because if you're funny, it don't matter. Yeah.
What is it to you?
Cities are like,
I just like being here.
I love Houston.
Yeah, Houston's great.
I love Texas cities.
I love doing Texas.
Me too.
Texas, they-
Dallas and Austin
are pretty great.
I love San Antonio.
San Antonio's great.
Texas loves performances.
They're not too Southern
and they're not,
it's not too hickish
and it's kind of
a mixture of international
and that Southern feel. Houston has
got all the Vietnamese now. Very diverse.
Very neutral. And a lot
of stuff has come out of Texas which people
don't understand. Whole Foods
started in Austin. Whoa.
Austin, Texas started Whole Foods. The Wilson Brothers.
Jamie Foxx.
Jamie Foxx. And also fucking Six Flags.
It was Texas.
A lot of stuff started in Texas, which you think, what?
Yeah.
Didn't start in New York.
Yeah, yeah.
A lot of stuff started in Texas.
So Texas is a very strange.
My sister lives in Dallas.
She's been in Dallas 20 years.
My nephew goes to U of T.
My other nephew, his brother's going to Texas Tech.
And my niece is going to probably go to a Texas college, too.
Well, JFK ended in Texas.
But we're going to get away.
Brassy Noel.
You know what I mean?
I've been to that museum, actually.
And I was like, I don't think he shot him from there.
Nah, the book depository.
That's bullshit.
I think it's bullshit.
Because I was like, how the fuck he get? Anyway, how the fuck his head go back like that i think it was in the car bro interesting i
think it was from the car or something because it was just it was just i mean it's a very it's
mysterious but i was looking and i go that just didn't look right i just didn't look what a weird
president to just be banging like hot actress chicks They were mad. Can you picture Biden banging Emma Stone?
It's fucking weird.
He'd be fucking Betty White or something.
To him, that's still young.
My Biden's not too bad.
Folks, listen, folks, folks, we have to-
Marilyn Monroe?
But listen, he was banging Monroe.
Yeah.
That was Joe DiMaggio's woman.
That was DiMaggio's girl.
You don't fuck with a Yankee Clipper, baby.
Go Yankees.
DiMaggio was probably linked up.
And I got a story about DiMaggio.
Ooh.
Yeah, he's probably mafia.
People love DiMaggio.
Yeah, Italian.
He's Italian.
Dude, he was the Clipper, dude.
The fucking dude.
Greatest hitter of all time.
Boom.
It's him and Ted Williams.
And then he pissed off Frank Sinatra when he he won illinois
he needed chicago illinois he needed that state and sam g and connor was like hey i can get you
that but you got to do me this favor uh kennedy he told joe kennedy you got to do me this favor
got it you got to tell robert to stay the fuck off the mafia. Because he was the DA. Right. He said, keep him off us, man.
And he goes, we're going to do that.
Don't worry.
Just get us Illinois.
That'll help us win this presidency.
So the mafia hooked him up, got him the fucking presidency,
got him Illinois, which he needed.
And then Joe goes, fuck those fucking, fuck those guidos.
We're out.
Damn.
So he had a lot of shit against him so this is a mob
hit i think i i but but if you watch the documentaries go man he pissed this person
he fucking maryland rowe there was a lot i think there was a lot of enemies and that's what i'm
saying he was trying to be race relations and that wasn't popular relations and i think l i think
lyndon baines johnson had some shit to do with it too it's so weird
to have a
like celebrity
I mean
he was kind of
the first
celebrity president
and Obama was kind of
the second one
it's weird to see Obama
Clinton was cool
Clinton was cool too
Clinton was like
a cool motherfucker
he's on Arsenio Hall
with the sex
but Obama
