00:01:45.600 and
00:01:47.880 um yeah this particular
00:01:52.799 alcohol is stronger than you think it
00:01:57.680 would be probably by about two
00:02:00.920 and
00:02:02.399 unbelievably smoother and
00:02:05.840 milder by the same maybe 30% than you
00:02:10.038 could possibly expect and unlike knacs
00:02:13.800 the world over this one doesn't taste
00:02:16.519 like wood at the end and it doesn't
00:02:18.280 taste like it's got artificial colors
00:02:20.440 and it doesn't taste like it's got
00:02:22.280 artificial flavors uh it's a it's a fine
00:02:26.040 product he's a conso you can tell he's a
00:02:29.280 con a KAC connoisseur he understands the
00:02:32.879 method that goes into making knac right
00:02:35.599 well as a comedian you get free drinks

00:03:58.959 low breath prow comedians come here and

00:04:05.760 straight up lies I'm talking about
00:04:08.480 things that have never been heard in all
00:04:11.159 of black Hollywood they feel comfortable
00:04:13.680 sitting here and lying to you about it
00:04:15.799 you going say the record straight are
00:04:17.160 you kidding me you let Ricky Smiley sit
00:04:19.959 here and you said out that mouth you
00:04:22.639 stole Friday After Next the one I was in
00:04:26.880 I wish all all of americ fumbled a bit
00:04:31.280 when that happened and then he said some
00:04:33.720 stuff that we haven't heard in 100 years
00:04:36.600 in Hollywood you ain't say nothing this
00:04:38.960 man told you he had Cat Williams role he
00:04:42.720 was going to be Money Mike and Cat
00:04:45.000 Williams was going to be was going to be
00:04:47.560 the Santa Claus now let's three quick
00:04:50.320 points you mean in Hollywood they cast a
00:04:53.039 5 foot5 black Santa Claus that weigh 145
00:04:56.560 lbs that's your story your story is the
00:04:59.120 Ricky Smiley that couldn't even do curse
00:05:01.520 words because he had a Christian fan
00:05:04.000 base he was going to play the pimp why
00:05:07.240 you didn't ask him why has he played a
00:05:09.080 woman in more movies than he's played a
00:05:11.800 man well I didn't know he he shouldn't
00:05:14.240 be able you wouldn't let a athlete that
00:05:17.520 been on steroids talk about one of the
00:05:20.880 greats Ricky Smiley can't act cuz Ricky
00:05:23.880 Smiley can't act he told you the story
00:05:26.919 about when the movie came out where did
00:05:28.639 he say he watch it at home he wasn't
00:05:31.440 even at the premiere you telling this
00:05:33.800 man you stole that oh so he could get
00:05:36.720 his name in the same sentence with a
00:05:39.600 great one it is sad he was just that
00:05:42.120 bitter when we were shooting it he told
00:05:44.639 everybody it should have been my role
00:05:47.000 everybody on the scene why do you think
00:05:48.840 no cast member has ever said anything he
00:05:52.000 couldn't have played that role like you
00:05:53.199 I thought he sir no one why no he was
00:05:57.240 with KD he beat get up Terry Cruz why
00:06:01.039 nobody know this story you talking about
00:06:03.080 in Hollywood they switched off road you
00:06:05.240 take this and he what so Ricky Ricky
00:06:09.400 Smiley knows this and I don't know why
00:06:12.520 he would lose a child and come on the
00:06:14.160 air and start lying that's why people
00:06:15.880 believe in rituals right there is
00:06:18.039 because well why would he lie I don't
00:06:19.880 know why Liars lie but I can tell you
00:06:22.880 this we auditioned in Los Angeles yes I
00:06:26.520 was audition number 2011
00:06:30.440 200 black comedians auditioned for the
00:06:33.000 role of Money Mike with me you're saying
00:06:35.680 all 200 and one of us was auditioning
00:06:38.160 and you had already had the roll and had
00:06:40.479 already shot the roll in four
00:06:43.000 days the truth of the matter is the
00:06:45.759 Money Mike in the original script got
00:06:47.880 raped in the bathroom and that's what
00:06:50.199 Ricky Smiley was okay
00:06:52.800 with Cat Williams had to take the risk
00:06:55.919 in front of the studios and the cast and
00:06:58.919 our power hours that be in his very
00:07:01.080 first movie and say
00:07:03.440 respectfully humbly guys if we talking
00:07:07.039 about anything else I have no
00:07:08.840 credibility and I have no pull but we're
00:07:11.599 talking about comedy right where I have
00:07:13.919 all the credibility and all the pool the
00:07:17.960 problem with Friday After Next is we're
00:07:21.199 trying to make a classic comedy and this
00:07:24.479 comedy involves a rape and rape is never
00:07:27.919 funny no matter who who it happens to or
00:07:31.360 what the circumstances are if you would
00:07:34.560 allow me to allow us to do this movie
00:07:37.840 without a black man getting raped in it
00:07:40.680 I promise you that it will be twice as
00:07:43.400 funny as it would be with him getting
00:07:47.000 raped so considering that's the real
00:07:49.800 story why would you bring up that story
00:07:53.479 35 members of the cast and crew have
00:07:56.240 never brought up that Ricky Smiley was
00:07:59.400 GNA play Money Mike no one ever saw me
00:08:03.000 put on a Santa Claus suit we got a
00:08:05.039 wardrobe department they made a santa
00:08:07.440 claw suit for me why that wasn't in the
00:08:09.319 bloopers what and and here's the other
00:08:11.680 thing everything that money Mike said
00:08:13.720 Cat Williams wrote so what Ricky Smiley
00:08:16.120 say on
00:08:17.440 his you can't say my lines I wrote
00:08:21.400 them that's how I all ready know that
00:08:24.400 I'm going to be funnier than you what he
00:08:26.879 told everybody was Cat Williams and
00:08:29.800 don't nobody know who he is I'm on the
00:08:31.960 radio I'm with Steven said everybody
00:08:34.440 know me that's what he told everybody
00:08:36.279 that we listen to on the set that's the
00:08:38.919 truth of the matter he was so egregious
00:08:41.479 not now then he was so egregious that
00:08:45.480 and Hollywood has never heard this in a
00:08:47.200 hundred years he was so egregious I put
00:08:49.959 in my contract that I won't work with
00:08:51.720 Ricky Smiley again unless he's in a
00:08:53.760 dress now what was Ricky Smiley's next
00:08:56.519 movie was it first Sunday did he wear a
00:09:00.000 dress in it you bet he did it's in my
00:09:03.880 contract why would you put that in your
00:09:06.000 with in your contract cat that's where
00:09:08.200 he's the a believable
00:09:10.440 actor him and Tyler Perry can't play a
00:09:13.160 man to save their
00:09:15.279 life they play good women and I believe
00:09:17.920 that the best actor should be in the
00:09:19.399 best role so that's why because when we
00:09:22.560 released that clip and he said that you
00:09:24.640 responded because he said he was
00:09:27.480 supposed to play money mik and you were
00:09:29.480 supposed to say play Santa Claus an
00:09:31.160 outright lie so that he knows is a lie
00:09:34.480 so why would he say it cuz he's a liar
00:09:37.200 Nobody Knows Why Liars lie and that's
00:09:39.519 why I had to come on the program Cedric
00:09:41.680 did the same thing Cedric told you when
00:09:44.000 you asked him did you steal Cat Williams
00:09:45.760 joke he said it don't line up how it
00:09:48.839 don't line up that I did it on TV in
00:09:51.040 2018 you came to see me at The Comedy
00:09:53.600 Store do it in 2019 and then did it on
00:09:56.480 the Kings of Comedy like what doesn't
00:09:58.760 line up I this is a televised joke that
00:10:02.079 Mark Curry helped me punch up and get to
00:10:04.920 the level that it was the same Steve
00:10:07.959 that went to go watch Mark Curry do his
00:10:10.200 whole sitcom and then stole everything
00:10:13.200 Mark Curry had now Steve got a sitcom
00:10:16.200 where he the principal and he wear a
00:10:18.360 suit and he and then he gets this high
00:10:21.160 top fade making all black men think he
00:10:23.279 got the best lineup in the business and
00:10:25.760 it's a man unit then you ask why you not
00:10:29.760 a movie star I didn't want to be a movie
00:10:32.240 star that's the same negro that hated on
00:10:35.079 Bernie with this same thing I didn't
00:10:38.519 want to be a movie star no you couldn't
00:10:40.399 be a movie star there are 30,000 new
00:10:43.040 scripts in Hollywood every year not one
00:10:45.200 of them asked for a country bumpkin
00:10:47.279 black dude that can't talk good over and
00:10:50.320 look like Mr Potato Head there ain't
00:10:52.519 none you would have to have a
00:10:54.720 range I played a lot of characters 60
00:10:57.639 movie roles I'm not playing Cat Williams
00:10:59.959 in

00:11:11.399 you the truth don't need motivation I'm
00:11:14.399 just saying I can't let these dudes lie
00:11:16.440 Cedric sitting here telling you why he
00:11:18.560 ain't a movie star he over here look
00:11:20.399 like a walrus you didn't say nothing he
00:11:22.720 can't even get his arms off his stomach
00:11:25.040 sitting over why I'm not a movie what he
00:11:29.480 never wrote anything remember when
00:11:31.120 Cedric the Entertainer starts he's
00:11:32.839 supposed to be singing dancing and
00:11:34.519 telling jokes that's why he's called the
00:11:36.120 Entertainer we found out he can't sing
00:11:38.920 can't dance and doesn't write jokes he
00:11:41.920 did four comedy specials they're so bad
00:11:44.399 Shannon they're not available on Netflix
00:11:46.839 or tub can I say that again for the
00:11:49.360 audience they're so bad that they're not
00:11:52.160 available on Netflix or Tob you don't
00:11:55.720 think s's a good a good comedian the
00:11:58.120 world doesn't think that sir I have 12
00:12:00.760 comedy specials he has four specials
00:12:03.760 that are not available on Netflix or to
00:12:07.720 be it seems to me cat that you had a lot
00:12:10.519 to get off your chest no no you wanted
00:12:13.519 to set the record winners are not
00:12:16.320 allowed to allow losers to rewrite
00:12:19.720 history I don't say any of these things
00:12:22.519 if my name is not breached by these
00:12:25.120 people on your
00:12:26.839 platform they if you give a liar a
00:12:29.800 platform to lie then I I'm not being
00:12:32.920 messy by saying hold on that never
00:12:36.399 happened it's untrue and there are
00:12:39.720 hundreds of witnesses for each thing I'm
00:12:42.880 saying so let me ask you this what is
00:12:46.560 your relationship with Steve Harvey
00:12:48.399 Ricky Smiley and Cedric Entertainer as
00:12:50.480 you sit here currently they for 30 years
00:12:54.279 they're a group these aren't three
00:12:56.600 random guys the way that that Ricky
00:12:59.720 Smiley kept appearing at all of my
00:13:02.519 auditions is because of Stephen said he
00:13:05.160 would tell anybody that listen they got
00:13:07.560 a gang on that side they know what it is
00:13:10.720 they know who the gang is why earthquake
00:13:13.279 not in movies cuz he's illiterate he
00:13:16.120 can't read and they found that out when
00:13:18.600 they gave him a show and put the cards
00:13:21.120 in front of him like all of these dudes
00:13:23.519 are co- entwined and they share secrets
00:13:26.079 and this is the age of Truth and and and
00:13:28.839 the truth doesn't need to be scared of
00:13:31.160 the fact that people tell lies uh cats
00:13:33.839 on drugs where are the stories why is
00:13:37.040 there no story of anybody who ever sold
00:13:39.160 a drug to me did a drug with me was
00:13:42.120 around me when I was inebriated I got
00:13:44.959 five daughters I got five Sons why would
00:13:47.680 we tell these ridiculous stories because
00:13:50.800 it's competition you you feel like well
00:13:53.440 why comedy comedy guys can't just get
00:13:56.399 along why why didn't you get along with
00:13:59.240 the other teams you were competing
00:14:01.079 against if you're a Denver Bronco why
00:14:03.199 you don't get along with the Cowboys
00:14:05.040 something wrong with you but I don't
00:14:06.560 disagree I don't just likee all the
00:14:08.079 Cowboys cat damn you like dis like okay

00:14:21.079 I'm not the comedian you can give that
00:14:23.000 too I only put on comedians that are
00:14:25.759 funnier than me anybody that ever told
00:14:28.800 you differently was a fat Faison liar
00:14:31.839 there's nobody like me in the business

00:14:39.920 Netflix special is easy I have 12
00:14:42.440 specials guess how many fison got zero
00:14:46.600 why is he allowed to have conversations
00:14:49.519 about real standup people we do not let
00:14:53.079 people who are on the juice discuss real
00:14:56.000 athletes that's all as a journalist
00:14:59.560 that's all that's all I'm saying I don't
00:15:01.959 have Harbor any resentment to any of
00:15:04.959 these entities because I can't be
00:15:07.120 jealous I've never seen them have
00:15:09.720 anything that I ever
00:15:11.959 wanted if you sign up for their program

00:15:15.959 lightskinn weird faac wife that never do

00:16:42.970 [Laughter]
00:16:44.920 time right we good now because the
00:16:48.839 people want to know why would he get
00:16:50.600 black ball yeah oh because because
00:16:53.600 because in 30 years I've done nothing
00:16:55.600 but
00:16:56.399 collect information
00:16:59.680 knowledge and your
00:17:01.920 secrets so if you and a man was in a
00:17:04.480 corner doing something you wasn't
00:17:05.919 supposed to be doing you will tell it no
00:17:08.640 somebody come to tell me okay I gather
00:17:12.039 that I value that I'll pay for that come
00:17:15.520 tell me I know so many things I
00:17:17.599 shouldn't know and they all know it they
00:17:20.240 all know it why because you don't make
00:17:22.240 me the villain not the guy that raises
00:17:24.799 black children and they never done a
00:17:26.359 hard drug in his life and don't have no
00:17:28.799 stories of doing nobody dirty and
00:17:31.840 they'll just go out and they'll lie the
00:17:33.720 the industry doesn't mess with cat cuz
00:17:35.799 he didn't show up for the studi no
00:17:38.440 Studios have ever said that look at my
00:17:40.440 IMDb it will show you that no Studio has
00:17:43.720 ever lost money with me on the script
00:17:47.360 how that's why I'm saying that's why I
00:17:49.440 can't let Ricky Smiley say he was
00:17:51.039 supposed to play Money Mike because I
00:17:52.840 wrote the words for Money Mike I
00:17:54.880 designed the hair for Money Mike I
00:17:57.039 collaborated with the Wardrobe
00:17:58.600 department and made outfits to make sure
00:18:00.679 that no one in America would be wearing
00:18:02.840 What Money Mike was wearing I told them
00:18:05.360 to go get the prowler I then told him to
00:18:07.799 paint it purple I told him don't have a
00:18:10.640 actor at playing a pimp we could get an
00:18:12.919 actual pimp Arch Bishop Magic Don Juan
00:18:15.840 to play like I I did far too much work
00:18:19.520 for somebody to come years later and try
00:18:23.000 to tag along just for their own self
00:18:26.400 aggrandisement why didn't Cube say the
00:18:28.559 record straight Terry Cruz could have
00:18:30.000 set the record straight Mike EPS could
00:18:31.480 have set the record straight why none of
00:18:33.000 them set the record straight that's what
00:18:34.280 you were supposed to ask him when he
00:18:35.640 told you those lies that no one's ever
00:18:37.720 heard right but he's telling you
00:18:39.559 something no one's ever heard of nobody
00:18:42.000 has ever heard oh Matt Ben Affleck and
00:18:45.240 Matt Damon was in a movie and somebody
00:18:47.280 said y'all should switch roles like this
00:18:50.520 is a business but that's the thing C
00:18:52.880 normally when people will give you
00:18:54.320 information I'm thinking I'm hearing it
00:18:56.280 for the first time and they're giving
00:18:57.640 information no one else knows or have
00:18:59.400 ever heard so I'm taking them at face
00:19:01.520 value these are lot this is like Steve
00:19:03.679 Harvey telling people he used to be
00:19:05.120 homeless that's my story that's not his
00:19:08.080 story Steve Harvey was never homeless
00:19:10.039 when he Mark Curry was touring with him
00:19:12.320 25 years ago he was making $3,000 a show
00:19:16.280 in cash and doing five shows a week did
00:19:20.039 they just tell the stories this my
00:19:22.640 thanks to my wife I'm where I am you
00:19:24.679 said that about the first wife you
00:19:26.640 forget that you told it was her then you
00:19:29.679 went and married somebody else that
00:19:31.280 think like a man like what are you
00:19:33.559 talking about they just they think they
00:19:35.240 can rewrite history that uh uh guy Tori
00:19:38.159 did a beautiful special about The Comedy
00:19:40.159 Store in Fat Tuesday where he said that
00:19:42.520 Steve and Cedric and Kevin Hart and
00:19:45.039 Tiffany hadish came through there and
00:19:47.400 made all lies Stephen Cedric never
00:19:50.919 performed at The Comedy Store at all
00:19:53.159 Tiffany was only seen at the lab Factory
00:19:56.200 in 15 years in Hollywood no one in
00:19:59.360 Hollywood has a memory of going to a
00:20:01.159 sold out Kevin Hart show there being a
00:20:03.559 line for him ever getting a standing
00:20:05.480 ovation at any Comedy Club he already
00:20:09.080 had his deals when he got here have we
00:20:11.080 heard of a comedian that came to LA and
00:20:13.679 in his first year in La he had his own
00:20:15.919 sitcom on network television and had his
00:20:18.559 own movie called Soul Plan that he was
00:20:20.440 leading no we've never heard of that
00:20:22.679 before that person or since that person
00:20:25.960 what do you think a plant is
00:20:29.240 maybe people don't understand the
00:20:30.960 definitions of these
00:20:33.919 words he just did his documentary with
00:20:37.360 Chris Rock where he shows you that his
00:20:39.720 whole upbringing and comedy was on the
00:20:42.679 East Coast yeah so how simultaneously
00:20:46.480 was he here in Los Angeles doing the
00:20:48.760 same thing it did happen it didn't
00:20:52.600 happen and I I I hate to seem like a
00:20:55.640 petty individual for picking apart lies
00:20:58.799 but Jesse smle going to keep lying until
00:21:01.360 you say we don't believe you like it's
00:21:04.559 important in the checks and balances of
00:21:06.720 the universe that Liars not get to make
00:21:09.919 complete narratives for themselves are
00:21:11.840 you not afraid about being black balled
00:21:13.840 again these are some power people what
00:21:15.880 do you mean again these people are not
00:21:18.600 powerful Satan can't create
00:21:21.080 anything that includes blessings for his
00:21:24.360 people that's why you know what the
00:21:26.760 number one job of somebody that sold
00:21:28.640 their soul in Hollywood is what is to
00:21:30.799 act like it didn't
00:21:32.320 happen they all do the same
00:21:35.240 job why do you think Gary Owen can't
00:21:37.919 cross over and he already whiteed and
00:21:40.159 been in comedy for 25 years if what I
00:21:43.559 say ain't the
00:21:45.360 case it's a cabal it's a it's a
00:21:48.760 Consortium they they rock with who they
00:21:51.320 rock with and they don't with who they
00:21:52.799 don't but I'm not scared of being the
00:21:55.760 competition anymore than you were when
00:21:57.559 you ly signed up across from a superior
00:22:00.559 team yeah on paper they're a better team
00:22:03.760 they have all the assets and resources
00:22:05.840 and we don't but let us get on the line
00:22:08.640 boy boy and see if that factors in I I
00:22:11.840 guarantee you it won't
00:22:14.159 wow because Shannon sharp got to be a
00:22:16.799 different person than that other
00:22:18.840 person absolutely and he always was that
00:22:21.919 doesn't change when I change teams That
00:22:24.039 Remains the Same that's how a legacy is
00:22:26.640 built all of these shortcut takers I I
00:22:30.840 was they cancelled me for talking about
00:22:32.600 Harvey Weinstein before the thing came
00:22:34.600 out but he offered to suck my penis in
00:22:36.799 front of all my people at my agency what
00:22:40.320 am I supposed to do he did all of that
00:22:43.600 I'm thinking I'm the only black person
00:22:44.960 on the script I get there it's three
00:22:46.559 other black guys on there woo huh so you
00:22:49.880 wonder what they did to get I told him
00:22:52.120 no what y'all
00:22:54.640 do and this is why when I walk in a room
00:22:58.000 heads go
00:22:59.559 down behind my back I'm nothing I'm just
00:23:02.520 a regular old comedian that's bitter and
00:23:05.159 jealous but in my face no no no the King
00:23:09.480 has walked in and they have to respect
00:23:11.360 it only because I'm not taken the
00:23:12.960 shortcuts I've not been funded they pay
00:23:16.559 you to not talk about things they don't
00:23:18.840 want you to talk about they tell you
00:23:21.559 that themselves I can't do that cuz I
00:23:24.440 Steve told you that he stopped doing
00:23:26.360 standup because he has seven TV shows
00:23:29.320 the only problem is when he stopped
00:23:31.240 stand up he didn't have those seven TV
00:23:33.600 shows he stopped stand up because he got
00:23:36.039 in a comedy battle called the
00:23:37.720 championship of standup comedy with one
00:23:40.880 Cat Williams in Detroit in front of
00:23:43.320 10,000 people and lost because Cat
00:23:46.480 Williams said he was actually bald and
00:23:48.760 that was a wig and I went in and that's
00:23:51.360 why he couldn't do stand up anymore
00:23:53.440 imagine him coming to tell you another
00:23:55.440 story where he got so big and it was
00:23:58.200 Bernie and them's fault cuz they wanted
00:23:59.960 to be movie
00:24:02.480 stars
00:24:04.960 what you called ocean 11 to get that
00:24:07.840 nigga's
00:24:09.240 part what do you mean you didn't want to
00:24:11.320 be a movie star so on the behalf of
00:24:14.960 Bernie I I would have to say what I have
00:24:17.480 to say have you ever been have you ever
00:24:19.720 been on tour with any of these guys the
00:24:23.120 GU I every guy I mentioned to you is not
00:24:25.399 funny out there in real life
00:24:29.799 so
00:24:31.080 no Faison's never done his own tour in
00:24:34.080 30 years Steve Harvey don't do stand up
00:24:36.679 no more Cedric doesn't write I'm sorry
00:24:40.039 he doesn't write Ricky Smiley has been
00:24:43.200 playing the same old black woman forever
00:24:46.799 like you can't get a young fan base with
00:24:49.720 that like you got to be doing karaoke
00:24:52.559 around the country to make that work
00:24:54.679 right and he
00:24:56.760 is but I'm a standup comedian this is my
00:25:00.559 19th 100 City Tour I'm not gonna have a
00:25:04.880 conversation with these lazy bums
00:25:07.960 that'll take a shortcut at any point yes
00:25:10.240 it's easier for you to juice than to get
00:25:12.120 in the gym but you don't get to bring
00:25:14.840 that body in here talking crazy talk
00:25:17.960 about how good you look
00:25:20.880 what no no there's too many Comics out
00:25:24.120 there that are putting their life on the
00:25:25.960 line to tell these jokes man okay let's
00:25:28.960 get to your upbringing we're gonna
00:25:30.279 Circle back and we get huh I want to
00:25:32.240 protect real quick you had said for the
00:25:34.080 Kings of Comedy it was in 2018 2019 but
00:25:37.679 did you mean
00:25:39.200 1999 because it came out in 2000 so I
00:25:41.640 just want to make I no no no so what I
00:25:44.720 meant to say was remember he said I
00:25:48.480 couldn't do standup anymore I had seven
00:25:51.320 TV shows I say he didn't have any of
00:25:54.080 those TV shows at the time I you about
00:25:56.320 you about Cedric J
00:25:58.279 from you said that 2018 2019 but it came
00:26:01.799 out in 2000 so I just want to make sure
00:26:03.520 okay no no no no no what comes out in
00:26:06.279 2000 the original Kings of Comedy right
00:26:08.919 my I'm on BET's Comic View and they're
00:26:11.919 using this as the commercial in
00:26:14.360 1998 that's why I'm saying yeah so if I
00:26:17.679 yeah so if I said the dates
00:26:20.240 wrong let's go back and clear that up
00:26:22.320 okay you said yeah I had Cedric on here
00:26:26.000 and I asked him about the jokes
00:26:28.200 he said the timeline doesn't add up to
00:26:31.840 to to that point you say right so he
00:26:35.480 thought that I was just a no-name
00:26:37.480 comedian and that he could take this
00:26:39.880 joke and nobody would know right the
00:26:41.919 issue was that I had already done this
00:26:44.799 particular joke on BET's Comic View
00:26:48.520 twice right it had done so well on BET's
00:26:51.840 Comic View that they have made it part
00:26:53.679 of the commercial so part of the
00:26:56.000 commercial of make sure you tune in to
00:26:58.120 bet was you seeing me doing this joke
00:27:01.520 and this joke is one of those jokes in
00:27:03.760 comedy where you set it up and it takes
00:27:05.440 a little longer to set it up takes about
00:27:07.320 3 minutes but then you're just hitting
00:27:09.320 them with jokes after that cuz you don't
00:27:11.120 have to set it up right uh Mark Curry
00:27:13.720 had already helped me work on this joke
00:27:16.000 because I thought it was good cuz I was
00:27:17.520 getting a standing ovation on it he had
00:27:19.640 me go back in the lab then help me craft
00:27:22.000 it to be an even more powerful joke so
00:27:25.120 this is not just a random joke this is
00:27:27.000 my very best joke and it's my last joke
00:27:30.080 and it's my closing joke okay
00:27:34.799 1998 I'm doing this joke it's on Comic
00:27:37.480 View Cedric comes to The Comedy Store he
00:27:40.600 watches me in the audience he comes
00:27:42.880 backstage he tells me what a great job I
00:27:45.760 did and how much he loves the joke two
00:27:48.840 years later he's doing that as his last
00:27:51.600 joke on the Kings of Comedy and he's
00:27:55.080 doing it verbatim he's just changed my
00:27:57.559 my car into a
00:28:01.640 spaceship him and Steve had already
00:28:03.960 apologized for me so I gave him a pass
00:28:07.159 for a decade why would you sit here and
00:28:10.799 be like I talked to I saw cat 30
00:28:13.679 times and Cat didn't do as I stand
00:28:16.720 before you
00:28:21.000 Shannon I would have bust Cedric's
00:28:25.720 stomach there was nothing that would
00:28:27.720 have kept me from one of these in in
00:28:30.159 that patch right there like are you
00:28:32.559 kidding me why would you downplay me
00:28:35.240 like that why did I give you a pass if
00:28:37.799 you were just going to lie and so that's
00:28:40.120 what I'm saying like they're all a group
00:28:42.200 Cedric Steve Ricky they've been a group
00:28:45.080 everybody knows that they've been
00:28:46.840 aligned and and there are these
00:28:48.880 alliances in comedy and if you stand
00:28:51.000 against them then they sometimes have a
00:28:52.760 problem but we don't let that change the
00:28:55.480 content because that's all you know me
00:28:57.480 for is that I'm quite likely to tell the
00:29:00.200 whole truth and nothing but the truth so

00:30:09.480 up um I
00:30:15.559 I I was often confused because I knew
00:30:19.720 things and I wasn't sure how I knew him
00:30:23.200 um I knew things that I felt like I
00:30:26.279 don't have a reason that I I know this
00:30:28.480 but I I love to read um I was voracious
00:30:33.399 because they told me when I was young
00:30:34.720 that knowledge was
00:30:36.200 powerful uh that knowledge was power and
00:30:38.960 and I had studied powerful people and I
00:30:41.799 I um I really believe that I I I
00:30:45.519 immediately my next project was to read
00:30:47.840 the whole Encyclopedia set so when
00:30:50.159 you're like six s years old you read the
00:30:52.399 whole encyclopedia said you think you
00:30:54.600 one of the smartest people in the world
00:30:56.760 only to get out in the world and find
00:30:58.440 out you don't know anything you know so
00:31:00.919 it um it was a it was a confusing time
00:31:04.519 but yeah I had a childhood I was I was
00:31:06.679 grown but I I at 5 years old I was in
00:31:10.320 front of 5 10,000 people given a
00:31:15.399 performance with a full suit and tie on
00:31:19.159 you know what I mean so it hasn't it had
00:31:22.000 it it it came full
00:31:24.279 circle um for my life I knew that the
00:31:27.919 Applause and um the giving of
00:31:31.679 information and laughs and Truth to
00:31:34.480 people somehow benefited them and also
00:31:37.840 benefited you and
00:31:40.039 um yeah so when they would ask me what I
00:31:42.360 wanted to be everything that I would say
00:31:44.600 that I wanted to be was something that
00:31:46.840 didn't exist and they would never give
00:31:49.200 me credit for it because I needed to say
00:31:51.960 um a doctor or a lawyer but that's not
00:31:55.080 what I wanted to be so your parents
00:31:57.639 weren't as supportive as you would have
00:31:59.399 hoped because you were wanting to be
00:32:01.279 things when you got older that they had
00:32:03.360 no knowledge of or it didn't exist at
00:32:05.320 the
00:32:06.279 time no it it wasn't that it it was
00:32:10.720 um I'm saying
00:32:13.440 I'm I'm almost a 100 years old right now
00:32:16.919 but if we go outside right now I can run
00:32:19.159 a
00:32:20.480 4340 or or sub I can do a 416 if I Jimmy
00:32:25.639 John across the street we can order a
00:32:26.919 sub
00:32:28.559 but um oh you been on the submarine that
00:32:30.480 what you sub so
00:32:32.559 um so back then it was even greater so
00:32:36.480 you got this guy that all the coaches
00:32:38.919 want to play he C don't do that hold on
00:32:42.159 because I'm I'm 5 foot five in the fifth
00:32:45.960 grade I've been this size my whole life
00:32:48.679 like there was a portion of school where
00:32:50.480 I was one of the big dudes like it just
00:32:54.240 as soon as everybody caught a grow spurt
00:32:56.559 I was out out of there but I'm I'm
00:32:59.080 saying I was a competitive individual my
00:33:01.919 father was an ath like like like no I've
00:33:05.039 been 145 lbs my whole career that's why
00:33:07.960 I never bothered when they said your
00:33:09.960 cats on drugs I knew how you going to
00:33:11.799 prove that
00:33:13.799 I'm my body is a temple i' I've been the
00:33:16.960 same size since I was 10 like what do
00:33:18.799 you yeah like I I haven't I haven't
00:33:21.039 changed off this pivot foot this has
00:33:22.679 always been who I was before standup or
00:33:25.960 anything but it was a um it was an
00:33:27.760 interesting childhood I I I appreciate
00:33:30.600 my parents even though um I couldn't
00:33:33.000 live within the religious Frameworks of
00:33:36.159 what they had set up um but that was
00:33:39.000 more not wanting to live a double life
00:33:41.440 and not want to embarrass my family you
00:33:44.200 know what I mean because I read where a
00:33:45.880 form of punishment for you is that they
00:33:47.760 would take books because you mentioned
00:33:49.360 you were such a voracious reader and a
00:33:51.399 form of punishment was when they would
00:33:53.039 to take the books for because you could
00:33:54.639 read fluently you you you told me how
00:33:57.559 at like three or four years old you
00:33:59.120 could read read read not not just a
00:34:01.720 little child's book but you could read
00:34:03.320 read well I'm saying when we when we go
00:34:05.919 to Haiti to do missionary work
00:34:08.560 understand that my mother and my father
00:34:10.639 nobody that's there with us speaks
00:34:13.399 French and I mean it speaks Creole and
00:34:16.159 reads French so I'm in charge of
00:34:19.239 everything from the housing to the cars
00:34:22.159 to the The Gardener like I I'm saying so
00:34:25.760 I'm not just reading I'm reading in
00:34:27.320 multiple languages like I'm I'm probably
00:34:29.760 reading 3,000 books a year from the time
00:34:33.480 that I'm 8 years old to the time that
00:34:36.719 I'm
00:34:39.079 12 no no no fiction books at all I'm
00:34:43.520 only reading
00:34:44.918 nonfiction you could drive at 12 you
00:34:47.239 received a full scholarship to the
00:34:48.679 National Science Academy in Dayton Ohio
00:34:51.119 but you failed so you couldn't become so
00:34:53.560 you would become ineligible why didn't
00:34:55.480 you want to take that opportunity
00:34:58.560 I didn't see it as an opportunity when I
00:35:00.880 got in there all the students were
00:35:02.480 wearing lab coats and it seemed very
00:35:05.119 confined and restricted and nobody
00:35:07.000 seemed like they were having fun it just
00:35:08.640 seemed like everybody was smart I I
00:35:11.240 didn't want that that was that wasn't
00:35:13.200 what I was signing up for at all and
00:35:16.480 plus um I thought that I was I Jesus was
00:35:20.880 my big homie so you know how you get a
00:35:22.680 story about a dude joined the gang and
00:35:24.359 you get a big home right like at this
00:35:26.400 particular point in my life I'm my
00:35:29.240 thought is that the Bible is the
00:35:30.760 greatest book that's ever been written
00:35:32.680 okay that it houses the truth and that
00:35:35.400 it gives you this story of Jesus and
00:35:37.560 that I'm supposed to be like him okay so
00:35:40.280 I it's already in my head that as soon
00:35:42.320 as I get 13 I'm
00:35:45.520 leaving you you you at 13 you don't only
00:35:50.400 like okay Mama moving out you move from
00:35:53.160 Ohio to Florida on your
00:35:55.800 own you weren't afraid I mean you like
00:35:58.599 did you on did you not have so what were
00:36:01.640 you so what were you going to do when
00:36:02.720 you got to Florida don't say I wasn't
00:36:04.359 afraid there's no such thing as a human
00:36:06.319 being of not being afraid okay there are
00:36:08.800 certain human beings that understand
00:36:12.000 that being afraid in no way stops you
00:36:15.240 from doing what you got to do okay so um
00:36:19.200 I I was afraid um but I couldn't be that
00:36:22.800 afraid because I knew what had happened
00:36:25.240 with Jesus I knew how it worked out I I
00:36:28.280 I knew that I wasn't in the wrong with
00:36:30.319 how I was feeling and I knew that I I
00:36:32.599 didn't have any bad intentions in it
00:36:35.640 right so I trusted God that it will work
00:36:38.160 out why
00:36:39.560 Florida um because I if you're raised in
00:36:42.400 Ohio the one thing on your list is I'm
00:36:45.760 going to get away from snow and I'm
00:36:47.720 going to get as far I want to go tell me
00:36:50.200 the place I literally went to a truck
00:36:51.800 stop and I asked all the truck drivers
00:36:53.599 where they was going and there was one
00:36:55.240 guy going to California and it was one
00:36:56.880 guy going to Florida and they told me
00:36:59.040 how long it was going to take and so
00:37:01.520 that's why I ended up in Miami because
00:37:05.079 how' you get there you c a bus or no I
00:37:07.160 just told you I was at the truck stop I
00:37:09.119 heit I got in I didn't hitchhike I got
00:37:11.760 in the back of the dude's 18-wheeler me
00:37:14.440 and my Rottweiler puppy and my
00:37:17.040 suitcase yeah because I was I probably
00:37:20.400 had $2,500 on me like I like I was
00:37:23.520 shoveling snow and cutting grass like I
00:37:26.280 always that pocket full of money when
00:37:27.960 did you make the decision that you were
00:37:29.640 going to leave Ohio and go somewhere and
00:37:33.480 it ended up being Florida so but when
00:37:35.000 did you know that you were leaving
00:37:36.200 Dayton Ohio going to
00:37:39.880 Florida and my father and I's last
00:37:43.160 interaction
00:37:47.680 um somebody could have not made it and
00:37:51.440 we both
00:37:53.200 understood that was all bad was the
00:37:56.240 disagree AG
00:37:57.640 about
00:37:59.880 um if if you say that my family is very
00:38:03.480 religious let just say I'm not so
00:38:06.760 anything that I I'm going to do is not
00:38:09.720 is going to fall out of the guidelines
00:38:11.800 right but I'm not going to let you tell
00:38:14.319 me what I'm going to be even especially
00:38:18.560 if what you're saying is wrong I can't
00:38:21.119 condone wrong and if I find out that
00:38:23.680 something's wrong and I tell you it's
00:38:25.560 wrong and you don't
00:38:28.760 me that's what it is even as a young
00:38:31.680 child you were willing to tell your
00:38:33.280 parents that some of the things that
00:38:34.800 you're saying doesn't coincide what I've
00:38:37.599 been reading in in in the Bible no no
00:38:41.760 very simply don't don't try to
00:38:44.880 disfellowship me for sexual acts and I'm
00:38:47.400 a virgin Sorry God Don't Make Mistakes
00:38:51.040 you don't get two times to [ __ ] me over
00:38:53.800 what do you mean you went to God and he
00:38:55.400 told you I was guilty
00:38:57.119 you just lied on God so long that's it
00:39:00.680 there's no conversation
00:39:03.920 Deuces that's what it was that's when
00:39:06.000 you made the decision after that
00:39:07.400 conversation right there you say no I
00:39:08.760 can't I can't live under this roof it
00:39:10.160 wasn't a conversation it was an
00:39:11.640 altercation in the altercation I love my
00:39:14.480 father my father loved me but we are two
00:39:17.200 men at it that it'll never be the same
00:39:21.880 again you can't sleep comfortably around
00:39:24.960 me and I can't sleep comfortably around
00:39:27.880 you how similar are you to your
00:39:32.400 father um I don't I don't know he's a
00:39:34.760 great man I'm I'm saying uh my seem like
00:39:37.880 y but y butted
00:39:40.240 heads right but I'm saying that
00:39:43.240 generally happens with a Father's son
00:39:45.200 Dynamic it was just that um religious
00:39:48.680 relationships are always different C in
00:39:52.200 families they always are before it got
00:39:55.720 to the point
00:39:57.800 because the dynamic he's father your son
00:40:01.079 before that Dynamic and you step up on
00:40:03.880 his level and you challenge him you felt
00:40:05.960 it was best for you to leave no no no
00:40:09.079 I'm not being challenged I'm being Beat
00:40:11.000 to Death oh he was abusive I didn't say
00:40:14.520 that I said we were in an
00:40:17.599 altercation oh I see what you did there
00:40:21.319 I saw what you did there I saw what you
00:40:22.720 did there cat I saw what you did you was
00:40:24.720 in alocation you didn't say you lost you
00:40:26.720 say you the
00:40:29.359 altercation I in no way gave you the
00:40:32.079 impression that I won anything I'm the
00:40:34.000 one
00:40:34.720 leaving I'm out of bounds this his house
00:40:37.880 right yeah so as long as I'm going to be
00:40:41.119 under his roof you there are certain
00:40:43.319 things that I'm going to have to do
00:40:45.280 right and the only way that's going to
00:40:47.880 change is either this or that and I I'm
00:40:53.440 saying I had two younger brothers like
00:40:55.680 I'm not I'm not an unreasonable person
00:40:58.680 like I don't have any mental issues
00:41:00.880 whatsoever despite what they lead people
00:41:03.240 to believe you know I make good pretty
00:41:05.040 good decisions were you not so how was
00:41:07.920 their relationship with your father were
00:41:09.359 you not afraid to leave
00:41:13.400 them well I asked because it it went all
00:41:17.880 the way to the actual department so it
00:41:20.280 was actually going to be something um
00:41:23.520 and when I asked them if they could just
00:41:26.319 just make sure that my brothers didn't
00:41:29.200 get separated and what so have you um
00:41:32.960 they said they couldn't make those type
00:41:34.359 of guarantees that they weren't really
00:41:36.040 sure what would happen if this went down
00:41:39.680 and so part of leaving was the hope that
00:41:43.920 it would be okay for them because n none
00:41:46.480 of them experienced what I experienced
00:41:49.359 I'm saying I'm the old this is a lot
00:41:51.079 riding on me I'm supposed to at least
00:41:53.680 religiously hold down the family's name
00:41:56.480 at this household you know what I mean
00:41:58.240 how much older are you than the baby and
00:42:00.040 the knee baby like a lot older like I if
00:42:04.839 I'm I 12 13 yeah they're
00:42:09.079 five
00:42:13.359 and in Pampers
00:42:16.720 wow right you go to Florida you tell the
00:42:20.760 story I've heard you you were homeless
00:42:24.119 and somebody else told the story said
00:42:26.319 were homeless and you said they they
00:42:28.520 hijacked your story now I don't hey I
00:42:30.839 don't at 13 I shouldn't have to tell you
00:42:33.200 I'm homeless I'm in a I'm in Miami

00:42:38.040 Florida I couldn't buy a house if I
00:42:41.280 wanted to I couldn't get an apartment if
00:42:44.760 I wanted to I don't have a credit
00:42:47.200 history like this is not a stretch for
00:42:50.800 me to say that I'm homeless I'm I'm
00:42:52.599 living in a park in coka Grove the park
00:42:55.480 still exists to this day for 8 hours a
00:42:58.440 day I would get up and go to the library
00:43:02.079 and study for8 hours a day to increase
00:43:04.880 my education and then I would leave out
00:43:07.160 of there and go to the marina and steal
00:43:09.640 car radios and make
00:43:11.839 $2,000 almost
00:43:14.359 daily like I had a routine this so you
00:43:17.240 really could have played that Sant old
00:43:18.440 thie and Santa Claus you could have
00:43:19.720 played it no the Santa Claus wasn't a
00:43:22.960 thief the the Santa Claus you can't tell
00:43:25.640 me I read the script Ricky Smiley told
00:43:27.599 you he didn't read the script the the
00:43:30.240 Santa Claus was a crackhead he just had
00:43:32.800 that outfit on that's what I couldn't
00:43:35.319 have played okay like I couldn't have
00:43:37.319 played a black guy that got raped in the
00:43:39.040 bathroom
00:43:41.160 right so at any point in time you like
00:43:43.839 man I made a mistake man I should have
00:43:45.359 stayed my butt in Ohio man cuz this is
00:43:48.200 Man this ain't what I signed up for I
00:43:51.000 didn't experience anything once I left
00:43:53.240 home that I hadn't signed up
00:43:55.079 for if anything it saved my life me
00:43:58.240 being homeless for that small period of
00:44:00.359 time allowed me to see all of the people
00:44:02.960 that were in that situation and to see
00:44:05.280 that these were lawyers and doctors and
00:44:09.480 and teachers and that these people were
00:44:11.800 white and black and Asian and Indian and
00:44:15.640 the only thing that all of these
00:44:17.720 homeless people had in in in common was
00:44:21.440 um they made a bad decision and aligned
00:44:25.240 themselves with drugs and I interviewed
00:44:27.839 them all what drug what and guess what
00:44:31.160 Shannon nobody had a great story nobody
00:44:34.680 had a great story of what meth had done

00:44:41.200 heroin had done for them with speed had
00:44:43.440 done for them nobody had them stories
00:44:46.240 everybody's story was I had my life

00:45:23.880 you ever thought about what your life
00:45:25.319 would have been had you stayed in Dayton
00:45:31.319 Ohio no that that's like asking somebody
00:45:35.359 that's in the NBA for 14 years like what
00:45:38.440 would have happened if you didn't come
00:45:39.640 to the NBA oh I shudder to think I I I
00:45:43.960 thought it was what I was made for I
00:45:45.480 thought it was what I was built for
00:45:47.280 anybody that knows me will tell you that
00:45:49.599 when they first met Cat Williams when I
00:45:52.119 was Cat in the Hat and they tell these
00:45:54.119 stories about how he changed his name
00:45:55.760 look look the truth of the matter is
00:45:58.480 Disney sued me yeah I was catting a hat
00:46:02.200 they sent me a cease and deist letter
00:46:04.559 and I'm not even making
00:46:06.680 $25,000 a year and the mega company
00:46:10.160 Disney has sent me a CN assis telling me
00:46:13.119 I can't use any variations of that name
00:46:16.000 fine I'm <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON> that's all that
00:46:19.119 happened I have been this same product
00:46:21.800 the entire time they will tell you when
00:46:23.760 they first saw me doing standup I was
00:46:26.359 just like this this is what I bring this
00:46:30.599 my
00:46:31.760 style when did it when did you know you
00:46:34.599 was going you want were you always funny
00:46:36.319 did you always want to be a comedian how
00:46:38.319 did you stumble on a comedians ship no I
00:46:42.040 I I loved what they did and so I studied
00:46:45.599 them all of them I studied all of the
00:46:48.040 white comedians because I wanted to know
00:46:50.760 why is Monty Python funny why is Don not
00:46:54.720 so talented I wanted to
00:46:58.240 know what is George Carlin's thing like
00:47:02.520 where so I studied all of the comedy
00:47:05.520 Masters regardless of the field because
00:47:08.200 I loved to laugh I didn't know that
00:47:11.280 these people were making a great living
00:47:13.720 at doing this I thought this is just
00:47:16.040 what they did they tell jokes they're
00:47:18.520 funny people but I loved the craft and
00:47:22.200 that's why when I got into the craft I
00:47:24.720 thought it was my o ation to make sure
00:47:27.000 that I kept writing new material so much
00:47:30.160 that it forced these comedians to stop
00:47:32.640 doing the set they've been doing for 10
00:47:34.800 years and keep writing some new stuff
00:47:37.480 and I knew that if I could get that to
00:47:39.480 take on that most of these bums would
00:47:41.839 have to just quit comedy cuz they can't
00:47:43.839 keep up they're not going to keep
00:47:45.480 writing an hour worth of material I've
00:47:47.800 written an hour worth of material 19
00:47:50.880 times they not gonna do it why because
00:47:54.079 they're not creative writers they want
00:47:56.200 to get somebody else and have them write
00:47:58.160 it and put it
00:48:00.160 together so if I'm listening to you
00:48:02.920 correct correct me if I'm wrong I think
00:48:05.240 the best thing that ever happened was
00:48:06.880 the internet because now they have to
00:48:09.359 because normally like you said you could
00:48:10.880 do a set and you do that do that that
00:48:14.319 set in Kansas City people ain't hurting
00:48:16.280 in San Francisco people ain't hurting in
00:48:18.160 Miami they ain't hurting Detroit Chicago
00:48:20.079 Atlanta so forth and so on now you do a
00:48:22.440 set it's on the internet somebody heard
00:48:24.520 it so you can't do a set and make it
00:48:27.079 make it last 3 months 4
00:48:30.720 months
00:48:34.280 well it it doesn't allow the regular
00:48:37.520 comic the ability to grow is the real
00:48:40.119 problem like the part of Comedy is me
00:48:42.640 taking these jokes in January and by
00:48:47.359 March I've begun to craft this joke it's
00:48:50.480 not as simple as it was when I wrote it
00:48:53.520 it was just da da da da but now it has
00:48:56.559 the
00:48:57.359 complexities of the fact that I'm having
00:48:59.920 to deliver this to a East Coast audience
00:49:02.760 a Down South audience a Midwest audience
00:49:05.559 a Utah audience a Colorado audience and
00:49:08.760 so it begins to take on a different
00:49:11.119 complexion because you're having to
00:49:13.240 deliver it to different people okay and
00:49:15.839 so this is what sharpens your joke you
00:49:19.079 then take those sharpened jokes that
00:49:21.400 make us special not you just randomly
00:49:24.480 take some so it's a process you don't
00:49:27.119 allow them to process if the first time
00:49:29.280 the guy did the joke now that's his joke
00:49:31.839 and the joke is everywhere that just
00:49:33.880 sets it up for people to steal so how
00:49:37.559 many times must you tell a joke before
00:49:39.359 you master
00:49:42.680 it how many times have you had to sleep
00:49:45.400 with a woman before you done with
00:49:49.640 her that's not fair if it's great
00:49:54.520 never if if it it if it ceases to have
00:49:59.559 usefulness so it has been
00:50:02.160 spoken right I was I I read that you was
00:50:06.640 raised in in in Florida you had some
00:50:09.119 some help some ladies of the
00:50:11.440 night no no no that's not true no that
00:50:14.200 whole story doesn't take place in
00:50:15.839 Florida that story takes place in
00:50:17.559 Oklahoma City okay so after I'm in
00:50:19.960 Florida I then join um I try to join the
00:50:23.200 Marine Corps and they won't accept me
00:50:25.559 because I'm I'm too I'm too young and
00:50:27.880 I've lied and told him I'm 16 and my
00:50:29.839 family is moving down and I don't have
00:50:31.319 my ID but it's coming and so they let me
00:50:33.720 go to the boot camp that's not going to
00:50:35.920 work now okay so I've learned that
00:50:37.680 lesson so then I get this job selling
00:50:40.040 stuff door too um across the country and
00:50:42.960 so I've been to all 50 states again I'm
00:50:45.799 third 14 years old um so I did that at
00:50:51.359 while I'm doing that one of the places
00:50:53.720 I'm at I'm in Oklahoma M and I've
00:50:56.240 decided I'm going to stay here because
00:50:58.480 of meeting these ladies that you're
00:51:00.920 talking about and that
00:51:04.119 situation I don't know at the time why
00:51:06.960 that's important in my life or why it's
00:51:09.040 something I should be doing or any of
00:51:11.079 that but now later on it certainly helps
00:51:14.040 me in formulating Money Mike for Friday
00:51:16.599 after next and uh pimp name slickback uh
00:51:20.359 for The
00:51:21.799 Boondocks San Oklahoma so San Francisco
00:51:25.440 Oklahoma Sacramento from Florida you
00:51:27.599 moved to the West
00:51:28.960 Coast after so you traveling when did
00:51:32.240 you set up shop on the west
00:51:34.640 coast how old were you been so I I guess
00:51:40.359 I'm uh 18 or younger and I
00:51:45.599 um once I have my once I have a child I
00:51:49.839 realized that um I can't it's a lot of
00:51:52.839 things that I could use to make money
00:51:54.839 that now
00:51:56.160 is a nogo so anything with Street
00:51:59.559 aspirations that I might have thought
00:52:02.880 about pursuing or being good at um I now
00:52:07.200 am a single parent and I got to redo
00:52:10.280 these things so I need comedy to really
00:52:12.520 work out for me and me and God go into
00:52:15.880 um extreme conversation where I'm
00:52:18.280 explaining to him that I'm a crash out
00:52:21.240 dummy if he don't send me a Lifeline
00:52:23.520 like I need something I can hold on
00:52:26.200 too before I had left Florida I did
00:52:29.119 stand up one time cuz we was trying to
00:52:31.200 get in the club I didn't have ID so I
00:52:33.440 said I was a comedian they end up having
00:52:35.559 me do five minutes but I kept that in my
00:52:37.960 head that I had done that when we get to
00:52:40.319 Oklahoma they're having a competition
00:52:42.839 for standup and if you win you get to go
00:52:46.119 out on the road with uh Jeff Foxworthy
00:52:49.799 and Dan Whitney who is Larry the Cable
00:52:52.880 Guy and Richard Jenny and these great
00:52:55.280 Comics you get to open for them and once
00:52:58.079 I did that I realized okay as a comedian
00:53:02.720 I'm like way behind schedule I done
00:53:05.200 started this too late all the funny guys
00:53:08.359 are already funny and known names like
00:53:10.880 how am I going to progress so I realized
00:53:13.799 that I I I do better with a white
00:53:16.720 audience than I do with a black audience
00:53:19.040 and I'm not sure why that's occurring
00:53:21.599 okay but the white audience likes me
00:53:23.559 more that's that's interesting
00:53:25.720 so when I moov to Sacramento it's
00:53:28.280 because Sacramento has a white and a
00:53:31.319 black audience almost 5050 that's almost
00:53:34.359 the makeup of Sacramento so I live in
00:53:37.240 Sacramento for 2 years until I get to
00:53:39.559 the point where I am equally as funny if
00:53:42.680 the room is black as I am if the room is
00:53:46.240 white okay that's not enough now I need
00:53:49.359 to be one of the good ones when it comes
00:53:52.160 to Black Comics so now I have to move to
00:53:54.680 Oakland and that's what lands me in
00:53:56.520 Oakland for 3 years once I have
00:54:01.760 dominated uh male black comedy in
00:54:05.720 Oakland to
00:54:08.119 my liking now I'm prepared to go to Los
00:54:12.119 Angeles now now I know you can't throw
00:54:14.799 me any curve balls if it's a white
00:54:16.720 audience if it's a black audience no
00:54:18.440 matter what they are I'm prepared to
00:54:20.400 deal with all of the
00:54:22.839 audiences do you write jokes Accord to
00:54:25.440 the audience that you're going to be in
00:54:26.599 front of or or is your joke
00:54:30.040 Universal well in in the beginning I
00:54:33.880 part of my framework is that I'm
00:54:36.119 tailoring every show to this audience
00:54:38.960 okay and that's how I was able to show
00:54:41.760 my range and show that I was better than
00:54:43.760 my competitors is that I'm <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>
00:54:46.960 but I was still doing clean comedy so I
00:54:49.880 was still going to churches and doing 45
00:54:52.640 minutes of stand up at the church with
00:54:55.359 no curse words no sex drug material no
00:54:58.559 none of that just straight standup and
00:55:00.880 then I was doing everything else and I
00:55:03.680 and the regular Club yeah that was that
00:55:05.880 was the range is that where when in Rome
00:55:10.559 do as the Romans do so um that's how I
00:55:14.799 started um but as you begin to get
00:55:17.680 better you begin to be able to speak to
00:55:21.000 your entire fan base and that's really
00:55:23.920 what's been helpful is that I've been
00:55:25.760 having the same conversation with my fan
00:55:29.160 base for 12 comedy
00:55:32.559 specials is that what set Cat Williams
00:55:35.000 apart is your range is that you can do a
00:55:38.400 comedy do 45 minutes in the church I can
00:55:41.039 go to a comedy club in front of 250 or I
00:55:44.160 can go into arena with
00:55:48.760 15,000 that's range cuz everybody can't
00:55:50.839 do that cat well if that's what range is
00:55:54.000 called then then then yeah it's range
00:55:56.440 but I I like the people I'm talking to
00:56:00.280 you see what I'm saying so it's not it's
00:56:02.400 not like um it can't be
00:56:05.039 condescending because I'm talking to my
00:56:07.480 white male friend when I'm telling that
00:56:09.920 white joke right when I'm talking about
00:56:12.240 this joke about this black lady I know
00:56:14.440 that black lady that's who I'm talking
00:56:16.000 to I'm I'm I'm I'm speaking to this fan
00:56:19.400 base that I've been speaking to from the
00:56:21.240 beginning I already told him what I was
00:56:23.520 on when I first came in told them they
00:56:25.480 was going to come after me they was
00:56:26.799 going to cancel me they was going to say
00:56:28.480 terrible things about me and try to mess
00:56:30.319 my life up I I said that coming in to
00:56:33.200 stand up I'm I'm saying it in my so you
00:56:36.280 knew it was going to be it has to be I
00:56:38.640 know I'm going into the belly of the
00:56:40.039 Beast how could I be naive I know that
00:56:42.240 I'm going into Satan's playground but
00:56:44.280 I'm trying to be so good that you got to
00:56:46.920 bring me in so close that I can see
00:56:49.039 who's doing what and what's going on in
00:56:52.200 there in San Francisco you join the
00:56:55.880 nation I was ever in San Francisco I was
00:56:58.680 in Oakland you was in Oakland did you
00:57:00.400 join the nation is that yeah Minister
00:57:03.720 honorable Minister faran and I have
00:57:07.119 um an extremely close relationship he he
00:57:10.160 refers to me um as one of his sons so um
00:57:14.680 yeah I I spent
00:57:16.359 a period of
00:57:18.720 time let me explain yes because my
00:57:23.319 particular background was already
00:57:25.880 religious and super strict right I
00:57:29.839 didn't find out about other religions by
00:57:32.920 reading about them I went to their
00:57:36.039 religion I I I don't want to learn from
00:57:39.039 Jewish people from outside I want to be
00:57:41.119 in the synagogue I want to I I don't
00:57:43.480 want to learn about Muslim people from I
00:57:46.000 I want to be in the mosque I I I don't
00:57:47.880 want to hear about the Baptist or the
00:57:49.920 Pentecostal I want to go to their church
00:57:51.880 and see and so that was the religious
00:57:55.680 discovery that I was on through that
00:57:57.839 period in my life when did you know you
00:58:00.319 were
00:58:04.680 funny probably
00:58:07.599 um about 10 years
00:58:09.920 ago 10 years ago yeah about 10 years ago
00:58:13.200 so you didn't think so you didn't think
00:58:14.760 as a child because obviously you said
00:58:16.960 the very structure background your
00:58:18.480 family was very religious so obviously
00:58:20.760 you didn't get an opportunity um
00:58:23.720 and did a talent show I was never any
00:58:26.960 any extracurricular activities I was
00:58:29.440 never in drama I was never in band camp
00:58:32.160 I was never Bo you didn't stay in school
00:58:34.319 long enough to get for it cuz you Dro
00:58:36.079 you understand you understand so there
00:58:38.839 was no like I
00:58:42.960 don't I don't tolerate high school games
00:58:45.440 I didn't go to high school I don't I
00:58:47.319 don't know how most of the games they
00:58:49.200 think I play I'm not even aware of them
00:58:51.920 but but C for you to get on stage and
00:58:54.480 like said a lot of people like a lot of
00:58:56.280 comedians I had a few here they're like
00:58:59.039 okay you know I told jokes to get girls
00:59:00.880 I told jokes to you know get people to
00:59:02.440 laugh at someone else but you is like at
00:59:06.520 you say you did comedy one time in
00:59:08.400 Florida yeah and you had this other
00:59:10.920 opportunity like in Oklahoma that they
00:59:12.760 were going to take you out if you won
00:59:13.920 the talent show you was going to go on
00:59:15.440 the road with these these well-known
00:59:17.000 Comedians and I did but I'm just saying
00:59:20.039 how at in Florida at 13 14 years of age
00:59:22.640 you like 16 I can do
00:59:25.720 that well because I knew that there were
00:59:28.680 a lot of other things I could do like
00:59:30.839 when I looked at drug dealers I thought
00:59:32.839 I could do that yeah you so right and
00:59:36.559 who doesn't like that right huh I'm
00:59:40.520 trying to figure out how I'm going to
00:59:41.799 make it but now that I got to do it on
00:59:44.200 this side I but no you your question was
00:59:47.480 when did I think I was funny I never was
00:59:50.119 my biggest fan to this day I'm not the
00:59:52.720 biggest fan I'm a fan of Comedy I like
00:59:55.599 great comedians like I like Chappelle I
00:59:58.880 like Patrice O'Neal like I like the
01:00:01.160 greats of Comedy because I do like I I
01:00:04.640 like Ron White I like Bill Inbal like I
01:00:07.640 know Comics like people that did the
01:00:10.200 craft they raised me I was touring with
01:00:12.760 Steve Marell and Richard Jenny and real
01:00:15.799 journeyman so my comedy upbringing was
01:00:21.079 standard I thought you had to work all
01:00:23.760 night every night all around the country
01:00:25.799 and you had to write jokes and that you
01:00:27.599 were trying to write jokes that other
01:00:29.319 people weren't writing and that your job
01:00:31.799 was to be funnyer like I people that
01:00:34.039 know me will tell you I've been on this
01:00:36.119 like I I had a list of all the black
01:00:38.960 comedians that were more famous than me
01:00:40.760 there was 300 of them on the list and I
01:00:43.880 had to be able to cross them all out
01:00:46.359 before I could make it to the next level
01:00:49.760 before I felt like I was funny enough to
01:00:51.920 do that and so I
01:00:56.039 I I I appreciate what competition does
01:00:58.760 for sports and for my particular Sport
01:01:02.440 and comedy is a sport what gave you the
01:01:04.760 confidence that you could get on
01:01:06.480 stage you remember I was 5 years old on
01:01:09.319 stage
01:01:12.319 okay but I was re reiterating God's word
01:01:16.039 at that point now I just have to make
01:01:18.680 sure that the content is good if the
01:01:20.960 content is good what part can I not do
01:01:23.280 I'm a vessel giv me these gifts to be
01:01:26.240 able to do certain things so I just want
01:01:28.680 to utilize them in my craft that's all
01:01:32.000 do you remember your first
01:01:33.760 set mm how long five 10 minutes no no um
01:01:39.000 I I think three minutes three minutes
01:01:41.160 yeah Standing Ovation booze some
01:01:44.200 Applause some jeers no none of that they
01:01:47.559 they applauded like I was a professional
01:01:49.839 at it but now looking back I understand
01:01:52.440 because you had to understand they were
01:01:53.839 all thinking
01:01:55.240 he don't even look old enough to be in
01:01:56.839 here and we don't have any black guys
01:01:58.839 that live in this town right where did
01:02:00.720 he come from and then he gets up there
01:02:03.880 and for three minutes he talk about the
01:02:05.599 fact that he is the entire black
01:02:07.200 community
01:02:10.039 right and he is as disappointed in them
01:02:13.400 it look like they looking for where the
01:02:15.200 rest of them is and so is he and that
01:02:18.000 was his set but I understood from that
01:02:20.480 point that the truth is really the
01:02:23.440 commodity and the fact that um we are
01:02:27.599 all individuals and all separate and all
01:02:30.440 our own Islands but not in real life in
01:02:33.400 real life it's only five or six
01:02:35.160 different types of people and you going
01:02:36.920 to see them everywhere that you go and
01:02:39.400 all like all my enemies all look the
01:02:41.720 same in the eyes whether it's faon Wanda
01:02:44.680 Aries Spears they all look like bab what
01:02:47.039 you got against wandy you think I don't
01:02:49.640 rumor that's sir Wanda Sykes and Wanda
01:02:52.440 Smith are two separate people
01:02:55.520 I only said one name Sir W Wes is
01:03:00.400 amazing I love wand and I agree I love W
01:03:04.119 that's my girl but I I remember on the
01:03:07.079 radio you went on the radio interview if
01:03:09.240 I'm not mistaken that's in Atlanta right
01:03:11.720 and you came on there with seemingly
01:03:14.079 good intentions and she attacked you it
01:03:17.599 wasn't just that part it was the fact
01:03:19.240 that before I go in there she has a
01:03:21.480 conversation about okay now I just want
01:03:25.000 to talk to you because you just wanted
01:03:27.000 Emy for the City of Atlanta and this
01:03:29.240 isn't Atlanta and they just want to hear
01:03:31.039 about the Emy and hear from you and to
01:03:33.720 thank you for what you did putting the
01:03:35.640 city on and we won't talk about your
01:03:38.119 kids we won't talk about jail no cases
01:03:41.240 we ain't going to talk about none of
01:03:42.400 that and immediately gets in there and
01:03:44.760 goes the opposite way you can't flip up
01:03:46.880 on me because you're an inferior
01:03:48.680 comedian I'm going to destroy you and
01:03:50.920 I'm never going to call you out of your
01:03:52.520 name I'm never going to say say anything
01:03:55.000 disrespectful to people that look like
01:03:57.079 you I'm it's a very thin line I got a
01:04:00.559 call but this lady is trying to
01:04:03.160 embarrass me in front of a largely
01:04:06.079 homosexual fan base that's why she got
01:04:09.319 cancelled gay people don't take it
01:04:11.520 kindly that you would as a
01:04:15.160 derogatory call me gay gay people don't
01:04:17.880 feel like it's derogatory so why are you
01:04:20.640 trying to shame me with something in a
01:04:23.079 community I don't even belong in there's
01:04:26.200 no gay people saying I belong over there
01:04:28.200 or been over there but I have no hatred
01:04:30.880 of over there and how dare you you did a
01:04:33.359 number oner though hey you did a number
01:04:35.640 on it that that's legendary no you
01:04:37.319 either believe in karma or you don't
01:04:39.760 because I didn't even know any of the
01:04:41.720 stuff that she had done to my fellow
01:04:43.559 comedians until afterwards I just know
01:04:46.960 she that it was a setup right and and
01:04:50.880 remember they they tried to kill me this
01:04:54.200 same weekend not in jokes with a real
01:04:59.079 gun in my real face on real camera
01:05:02.400 understand I'm losing my life for
01:05:05.920 participating in something that goes
01:05:08.279 along with my job like there two
01:05:11.000 comedians what do you mean and and the
01:05:13.640 world was okay with it because it was me
01:05:16.359 had that happened to anyone else the
01:05:18.240 world went crazy when will smack smacked
01:05:21.119 Chris this is a person pulling a whole
01:05:24.400 gun on a comedian in
01:05:27.599 the confines of their job it's it's
01:05:30.960 really a weird situation uh when they
01:05:33.599 hate you that bad yeah yeah you felt she
01:05:37.079 hated you at that moment because you you
01:05:39.000 mentioned that she said it was going to
01:05:40.559 be very professional oh you want an Emy
01:05:42.599 congratulations you put the city on you
01:05:44.440 own for the city yada y y and now did
01:05:47.599 she mention anything about the Emy on
01:05:50.720 camera I believe you saw the video and
01:05:53.319 you know that none of that took place
01:05:56.200 see
01:05:57.799 the the issue is that um all the
01:06:02.480 comedians have to come do these radio
01:06:04.279 stations because you have to sell your
01:06:06.240 tickets and so that means you have to go
01:06:07.720 to the radio
01:06:09.039 station I don't go to the radio station
01:06:11.960 and I don't make post to sell tickets I
01:06:15.480 just don't so you've not seen me I'm I
01:06:19.039 haven't I'm not here in some subservient
01:06:22.119 position where somebody sent me
01:06:25.279 I'm you hear out of the kindness of your
01:06:27.520 heart you
01:06:28.599 are no no I'm
01:06:31.279 saying yeah yes situation yeah like
01:06:34.640 right for sure yeah and this person knew
01:06:36.520 I wasn't there for that or yeah it's but
01:06:40.319 how hard because you have to understand
01:06:42.559 she is a
01:06:43.720 female and so you have to be careful you
01:06:46.359 have to handle her with kid gloves sir
01:06:49.240 sir you want to go ahead and take that
01:06:52.079 out you don't want to be against
01:06:54.160 equality do you no no what you just said
01:06:57.480 was very unequal Siro but I think maybe
01:07:01.640 you've had enough of
01:07:03.400 that because I think I just heard you
01:07:06.160 say but you that women are not equal and
01:07:08.760 should be treated
01:07:10.440 unequally they want to be treated you
01:07:12.440 mean as a comedian no no they want
01:07:14.640 listen you understand and I understand
01:07:17.160 yeah in certain situations they want to
01:07:19.119 be treated equal not all
01:07:22.920 situations
01:07:24.799 and and what part of what you saw her
01:07:29.720 get oh she deserved everything hold on
01:07:32.400 what part would have been different if
01:07:33.839 she was a
01:07:35.520 man it would have just been more vicious
01:07:37.920 yeah that that's that's my point I took
01:07:40.680 all the vicious and ven them away
01:07:43.599 because I didn't have any plus I
01:07:45.760 understood I'm not trying to offend
01:07:48.200 black women with short hair I'm not
01:07:50.640 trying to offend heavy set women I'm not
01:07:53.920 trying to upset fellow comedians I'm not
01:07:57.079 trying to do any of that and I can't I
01:07:59.319 am qualified to be able to do none of
01:08:02.279 that and still eviscerate you because
01:08:04.920 I'm smart enough to know that I need to
01:08:06.720 say that you have gnarled fingers
01:08:08.760 because I know you're limited education
01:08:10.799 means you don't know what the word means
01:08:13.200 so you can't possibly respond to it
01:08:15.839 you're not sure of the meaning and I'm
01:08:18.359 going to continue hitting you because
01:08:20.238 this is what comedians do you've been
01:08:23.000 masquerading that you're a comedian too
01:08:25.880 and that's the fallacy so nobody in
01:08:29.439 boxing fights out of their weight
01:08:32.238 class if you're a 130 pounder you don't
01:08:35.158 just show up with the 160 Pounders you
01:08:37.279 stay in your weight class is that what
01:08:39.158 you wanted to do no that she was out of
01:08:41.439 her League when it came to because I
01:08:43.319 didn't want to do any of it I know you
01:08:45.120 didn't want to but when she took it
01:08:47.000 there you did you feel that you had to
01:08:49.359 go
01:08:50.479 there oh you could you could have said
01:08:53.080 Wanda I didn't come come here for that I
01:08:54.520 just want to do the interview I just
01:08:56.238 want to talk about what happened oh you
01:08:57.880 misunderstand my job my my job is to be
01:09:01.719 funny my job is to be funny first my
01:09:05.238 first job is to be funny my second job
01:09:07.399 is to be respectful my third job is to
01:09:10.880 be Immaculate and Gaza stripp it h
01:09:15.839 that's nonpolitical I'm saying if you do
01:09:19.238 a you let a terrorist accidentally touch
01:09:21.880 over here and I want stop burning you
01:09:24.759 down until there ain't nothing left
01:09:27.359 it'll literally be Rubble on top of
01:09:29.640 rubble and I'll still be bombing why
01:09:32.880 because that's why you should mind your
01:09:35.399 business this is what F around and find
01:09:39.000 out is about
01:09:42.319 right have you ever been boo
01:09:46.960 cat
01:09:50.679 um
01:09:52.719 yes
01:09:56.920 yeah I have what was that feeling like
01:10:00.480 did it like want to give up cuz we don't
01:10:03.120 I mean because when you have I mean I
01:10:05.000 don't know how early it was in your
01:10:06.560 career obviously it hadn't been in the I
01:10:08.600 don't think it's in the last decade
01:10:10.080 because you've been
01:10:15.080 immaculate have you ever dropped a pass
01:10:17.480 I
01:10:18.760 have I've been booed too you know the
01:10:21.360 little segment between
01:10:24.199 everything is fine and I got
01:10:26.920 it and then you noticing where it is now
01:10:30.800 M yeah it's that um the thing about as a
01:10:37.199 comedian the audience's opinion is the
01:10:40.320 only opinion that matters not you the
01:10:42.920 writer not none of that and so I don't
01:10:46.600 think any comedian has ever been booed
01:10:49.040 unnecessarily
01:10:52.640 either sir oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm
01:10:55.840 I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying what
01:10:59.199 what do they say when a guy shoots the
01:11:00.600 air ball in the NBA they say air ball to
01:11:03.640 make sure everybody knows but again he
01:11:06.120 still got to get back on D right like
01:11:08.360 the game didn't end he don't get to
01:11:10.120 throw his hands up and sulk right that's
01:11:12.360 supposed to be used as a learning
01:11:14.280 experience most comedians don't get
01:11:16.280 booed
01:11:18.640 enough I mean this is how you end up
01:11:21.560 with a Michael blackon who's a real
01:11:23.920 doing a fake African ACC
01:11:26.320 okay this guy is mad at me all I did was
01:11:29.080 give him the best advice of his life
01:11:30.560 remember he was wearing dirty the Shiki
01:11:33.120 and I told him he needed to dress to be
01:11:35.520 in the position that he's trying to say
01:11:37.600 that he's in and if you're the African
01:11:39.760 king of comedy sir there's actually
01:11:41.520 comedians in Africa doing comedy if you
01:11:44.120 going to say that you got to go to
01:11:46.159 Africa and get a school dude everybody
01:11:48.480 got you you got to put in some work and
01:11:50.560 these guys they take my advice they
01:11:53.120 change their whole Persona and and then
01:11:56.400 they hate me for it and generally I'm
01:11:59.040 just too big to comment or make a
01:12:02.120 statement about it or do a live or any
01:12:04.719 of that but when it gets to be a whole
01:12:07.440 grouping of these guys I got to come and
01:12:10.040 talk to
01:12:10.600 [Laughter]
01:12:13.679 Shannon I got to lay it down at the
01:12:16.560 altar you know every comedian this is
01:12:19.560 the other side of Kirk Franklin
01:12:22.480 prank
01:12:25.239 this is the Reckoning
01:12:28.360 2024 the Reckoning you are that you know
01:12:32.239 every comedian that's been on my show
01:12:34.760 you know you watched every episode cuz
01:12:37.480 you know that's not what you said you
01:12:38.679 said I know every ComEd you know every
01:12:40.040 comedian you're limiting me oh you
01:12:42.440 watched every episode because you you
01:12:44.360 you know things you know things I
01:12:50.360 that that's always where I'm trying to
01:12:52.639 come from whether it's is comedic or
01:12:54.320 otherwise that's why even if you see me
01:12:56.480 get arrested 10 times in a row on TV as
01:13:00.840 a fan of mind you can be like he going
01:13:03.080 to be right
01:13:05.080 out yeah but they just said he ain't do
01:13:08.400 it he couldn't have it's
01:13:11.320 stupid why would he do something stupid
01:13:13.600 knowing he got to come back and talk to
01:13:16.480 us n they they respect that every time
01:13:19.679 it happens I'm Gonna Be Free as a bird
01:13:21.679 sitting out here talking to you about it
01:13:23.480 that it really was what I said it was
01:13:25.679 that's
01:13:26.480 all you end up you come down you're in
01:13:29.719 La yeah now I'm
01:13:33.639 reading Cat Williams won Cedric the
01:13:36.719 entertainers and haer Bush best best Los
01:13:40.440 Angeles comic award did you win that
01:13:43.880 award one Cat
01:13:46.760 Williams is a simple yes or no it's not
01:13:49.000 a rhetorical question it's a question
01:13:51.199 that probably should have been asked to
01:13:52.480 seder the entertainment I'm asking you I
01:13:54.560 got you here though I know I couldn't
01:13:56.639 believe s didn't get asked that
01:13:59.080 question you still a D's Joker to give a
01:14:02.320 award and then 10 years later you don't
01:14:04.199 know nothing about
01:14:09.159 it hey but I but I promise you this what
01:14:13.320 if he sees me again before he sees you
01:14:17.320 he'll be talking different when you see
01:14:19.159 it that's for certain that's the
01:14:21.679 difference that's what these Comics
01:14:23.120 understand
01:14:23.800 is that I'm not doing nothing for clout
01:14:25.520 I don't even recognize
01:14:27.320 clout but eventually the Lord is going
01:14:29.880 to let me and you be in one
01:14:32.239 hallway a lot of these dudes
01:14:37.159 go Kevin Harden went 25 years without
01:14:40.400 ever being in the same building with me
01:14:42.600 at the same time if I go in the building
01:14:44.880 he walk out you've never seen us in the
01:14:46.760 same building ever in 25 years like it's
01:14:50.760 like that why why because I'm really the
01:14:55.199 product it's not what you think I am
01:14:58.560 never under the influence of anything
01:15:01.360 I'm always in my right mind I'm always a
01:15:05.199 physical specimen and when you see me
01:15:08.239 I'm much much bigger than you had
01:15:11.440 thought I have far less play in me than
01:15:15.600 you would like and I'm Relentless I'm
01:15:18.400 out there I'm still to this day I play
01:15:21.280 11 games of basketball with a 20 year

01:15:42.840 just push-ups and situps only I would do
01:15:45.239 like um 100 push-ups a day just I
01:15:48.920 thought you were going to say a thousand

01:15:55.320 gram you know what I mean like literally

01:16:08.239 golfer for quite some time my short game

01:17:41.920 bumps just to not be good at what you do
01:17:44.280 not work hard at what you do but have to
01:17:46.159 act like you're the best that what you

01:17:50.719 touring they they they be doing like
01:17:52.239 aund shows year that's
01:17:56.440 me I don't run into none of
01:17:59.520 them that's what I'm saying if you a fa

01:18:03.199 of him for 32 years you still waiting on
01:18:05.040 him to do his first special you mean to
01:18:07.679 tell me if Steve Harvey your favorite
01:18:09.040 comedian you mean you've been waiting
01:18:10.239 for him to do stand up for 15 years
01:18:13.920 now I mean Steve got got a lot of other
01:18:17.320 DL still out there none of those irons
01:18:20.159 matter to stand up who cares that they
01:18:23.400 wrote a plaque card for you to do Family
01:18:25.600 Feud on like you're you're successful
01:18:28.760 because we're surprised you can talk for
01:18:30.560 a living and it's entertaining that you
01:18:32.440 going to say some funny country
01:18:34.960 things but not a writer right not a
01:18:39.719 writer how did you develop Money Mike
01:18:43.840 and get it I mean that I mean everybody
01:18:46.159 Talk Money Mike is how how did you come
01:18:49.239 up with that and say you know what this
01:18:51.159 is how he should dress this is how how
01:18:53.080 he should talk this is how he should
01:18:55.199 look this is the kind of whip he should
01:18:57.120 ride this is how he should
01:18:59.920 talk so if you'll remember that that was
01:19:02.280 my first movie just understand that what
01:19:04.719 I did then I've done with every single
01:19:07.520 role whether it was an Emmy winning role
01:19:09.719 or whether it wasn't whether I was
01:19:11.440 playing somebody
01:19:13.560 homeless whether I was playing a dirty
01:19:15.920 Vagabond on Atlanta whether it was an
01:19:19.600 Ecentric guy in first Sunday regardless
01:19:22.400 of what the role is the first thing I do
01:19:25.000 is Erase Me from it okay so anything
01:19:27.880 that I would naturally do MH that's what
01:19:30.760 I'm not going to do because I'm playing
01:19:32.600 a different charactera play a character
01:19:34.000 okay right so I then create this person
01:19:38.239 based upon real life circumstances so I
01:19:41.080 don't have to wonder what a pimp thinks
01:19:43.560 cuz I've been in that position for a
01:19:45.679 little while I also worked manual labor
01:19:48.840 for some time in my life so I don't have
01:19:50.639 a problem paying somebody that works and
01:19:53.040 I don't have a problem uh being a
01:19:55.360 go-getter cuz I'm a go-getter so I bring
01:19:57.719 whatever I can to these characters I was
01:20:00.280 able
01:20:01.360 to
01:20:04.560 um the first week that I got the script
01:20:08.360 there was a a pimp guy that used to be a
01:20:11.639 pimp but he wasn't anymore he was a
01:20:13.400 rapper now and his name was M Minister
01:20:16.040 and he um had been a pimp and was going
01:20:19.480 to be a rapper and
01:20:21.480 I had never done a movie before I was a
01:20:24.600 standup and I'm getting ready to do the
01:20:26.159 movie and so I was able to craft what a
01:20:30.360 real pimp was like what was too much I
01:20:32.960 didn't want to be stereotypical right I
01:20:35.719 I I did the research I saw how many
01:20:38.000 times people played pimps and they were
01:20:40.239 always it was always something weird
01:20:42.679 about them I guess cuz it's a weird job
01:20:44.920 you know what I mean and I wanted
01:20:46.760 somebody that didn't seem like none of
01:20:48.880 that that he really thought it was a
01:20:51.040 business and treated it like that and so
01:20:53.560 you know those adding those levels to
01:20:56.880 acting is what all actors do if they're
01:20:59.800 not Steve or Cedric or Ricky like you're
01:21:02.679 trying to create a character you don't
01:21:05.239 you can't just be faas on in every movie
01:21:08.520 like you just going to take your shirt
01:21:10.440 off on every movie like why does it say
01:21:13.560 that in your script man let Big Worm
01:21:15.560 live let him breathe cat let big let let
01:21:19.040 Big Worm breathe sto him out now
01:21:28.800 you having an unnatural allegiance to
01:21:31.040 losers is not like you no I ain't got no
01:21:33.719 allegiance to the man but you got to
01:21:35.400 admit the role that he played big I mean
01:21:37.199 big Perman Friday night you got to give
01:21:39.120 him credit for the road now come on now
01:21:41.040 let me ask you a question yes if what
01:21:43.719 you're saying is correct why wasn't he
01:21:45.400 in next Friday or Friday After Next I
01:21:47.600 mean his role I mean it wasn't
01:21:50.560 good sorry there was a lot of people
01:21:53.639 that didn't that appeared in the first
01:21:55.159 one that weren't in the second one cat
01:21:56.840 I'm just telling you
01:21:58.840 why I'm sorry I'm sorry that it's a
01:22:01.600 there a news flash that there are
01:22:02.920 reasons for things in a business yes oh
01:22:05.639 okay well what would you why would you
01:22:10.280 why why did you bench DLo he had two
01:22:13.639 points what are you talking about shut
01:22:15.920 up but I like him nobody cares about
01:22:19.000 that that's not what we're talking about
01:22:20.920 these are business conversations that
01:22:22.920 deal with businessmen right right when
01:22:26.199 you're good at something you should
01:22:28.040 progress the guys that are not as good
01:22:30.159 they should fall down by the wayside
01:22:32.000 that's natural there where they so you
01:22:34.199 believe if your talent doesn't support
01:22:36.880 it you should fall by the way size and
01:22:39.639 the guys that have the talent and they
01:22:41.120 get elevated they should move no that's
01:22:43.120 what water says that's what the universe
01:22:45.280 say the universe say the
01:22:47.159 levels they every no I don't not I say
01:22:50.679 who am I I'm nobody
01:22:53.159 but I'm working every day as if I think
01:22:56.719 that's what should happen is how it
01:22:59.040 should be and I'm choosing comedians
01:23:01.480 that also write and work hard and don't
01:23:03.639 steal other people's material and I'm
01:23:06.159 making sure that they all make
01:23:09.920 $300,000 a season and I'm making sure
01:23:12.760 that they're not ever signed to me or my
01:23:15.600 conglomerate and that's why they're
01:23:17.679 successful no you can work with me and
01:23:20.199 still be an independent businessman boss
01:23:23.000 owner like you came in right I don't
01:23:25.320 need you to be subservient to me that's
01:23:27.639 those other guys that make you pay
01:23:32.000 dues you said earlier that you rewrote a
01:23:35.480 lot of what Money Mike was to say and
01:23:37.719 how he behaved so they allowed you the
01:23:40.000 the the the freedom the Liberty to add
01:23:42.639 Li how much would they allow you to just
01:23:45.960 make an interception if it didn't nobody
01:23:47.600 talk about it as a football player if
01:23:50.320 the ball come your way can you just grab
01:23:52.159 it
01:23:53.159 can you make an interception anytime are
01:23:55.280 you allowed to pick up any fumble are
01:23:57.280 you you can do any hustling right oh
01:23:59.320 okay same here same here but here's the
01:24:03.480 thing though even as a even as an
01:24:05.760 offensive player they might let me add
01:24:07.800 live once I get a couple of years into
01:24:09.520 my breath they weren letting me add Li
01:24:11.040 as a rookie that was your first movie I
01:24:13.560 I told you the conversation in my first
01:24:15.360 movie just because I'm I am committed to
01:24:19.320 laughs the only way I made it past those
01:24:21.920 300 comedians I didn't tell you this
01:24:24.480 what it required is I had to watch all
01:24:26.560 300 comedians 10 times a piece I watched
01:24:29.719 your set 10 times of you performing
01:24:32.320 whoever you were and then I counted how
01:24:34.600 many laughs you got every time you did
01:24:37.600 these amount of minutes so if you told
01:24:39.679 me this uh comedian and told me he did
01:24:43.719 30 minutes I could tell you that he got
01:24:46.840 26 laughs in that 30 minutes because I
01:24:50.760 had done the numbers on every body so I
01:24:53.280 didn't just say I was funnier I knew I
01:24:56.520 was funnier than the comic you liked and
01:24:59.040 I could tell you how many jokes funnier
01:25:01.480 I was because that's how we judge stand
01:25:04.400 up you do 15 minutes I do 15 minutes how
01:25:07.199 do I know I'm funnier than you cuz you
01:25:09.000 got six laughs and I got
01:25:12.719 16 I'm almost three times better than
01:25:15.719 you low key boy boy but I'm never going
01:25:18.119 to tell you the formula so you going to
01:25:20.280 keep just going out there telling jokes
01:25:22.119 now
01:25:22.800 understand it that I psychologically the
01:25:25.639 Audience by 10 years is convinced that
01:25:28.920 I'm funnier than you they just don't
01:25:31.639 know
01:25:32.600 why cuz I'm putting out more content
01:25:37.400 better I had Terry Cruz on here he said
01:25:40.400 at the time that you did the movie you
01:25:42.760 were homeless is that
01:25:48.760 true
01:25:50.520 um this was my situ situation
01:25:56.560 I 5 months prior to me getting this
01:26:01.280 first audition for Friday After Next I
01:26:03.920 got this baby
01:26:05.360 son I'm holding him up above me he grabs
01:26:08.719 my little chain he's playing with it and
01:26:11.239 he accidentally drops it it breaks out
01:26:13.440 my front two teeth I'm in a situation
01:26:16.480 now where when I go to the dentist they
01:26:18.159 telling me this going to cost thousands
01:26:19.719 and thousands of dollars to fix this
01:26:21.639 right they not telling me what it's
01:26:23.639 going to look
01:26:25.159 like I go get an estimate with no money
01:26:28.159 involved find out what I need to do they
01:26:30.239 find out you got a tumor in your upper
01:26:32.239 jaw so we're going to have to do a whole
01:26:34.360 surgery for you it's going to be 100
01:26:37.360 Bands I don't have it I don't have it
01:26:40.760 and
01:26:43.280 um I'm only going to have this check
01:26:45.480 from this movie so while I'm doing this
01:26:49.000 movie we live in this trailer um um this
01:26:53.280 where we live so when they come to work
01:26:54.840 at 5:00 in the morning we already there
01:26:57.239 when they leave at night we still there
01:26:59.199 we just double back um because we
01:27:01.880 understood that this is our one
01:27:04.320 opportunity um and we have this
01:27:06.400 opportunity to change our lives just
01:27:08.280 like a young man going for the draft we
01:27:10.679 can actually get in the league with this
01:27:12.560 there are 30 comedians on this cast
01:27:15.040 they're all magnificent this is the Holy
01:27:17.800 Grail of the
01:27:19.239 situation um so yeah I was a bble to
01:27:22.920 make sure that because it wasn't just my
01:27:25.520 first movie it was KD Al Bear's first
01:27:27.880 movie it was Terry Crew's first movie
01:27:30.119 absolutely I was the leader of this
01:27:32.159 group which meant that we did we didn't
01:27:34.960 do their rehearsals they did rehearsal
01:27:37.480 we did our own rehearsals daily to make
01:27:40.920 sure that we were at the level of
01:27:43.560 professional actors which is what made
01:27:46.080 it so
01:27:47.239 egregious that guy saying I was supposed
01:27:51.080 to you was supposed to
01:27:55.280 what KY did have a good part in the
01:27:57.639 movie Man the Santa Claus was funny man
01:28:00.360 the dude said the entire time we're
01:28:02.639 filming I can't play this role they got
01:28:05.520 a bandana over my nose and my mouth my
01:28:09.239 th they not even going to know who this
01:28:14.199 is so yeah tell your
01:28:19.920 start he's 10 Terry Cruz also said that
01:28:23.440 you guys had a lot had a lot of
01:28:24.960 conversation that this was your
01:28:26.560 opportunity and you needed to seize this
01:28:32.600 moment Terry had the benefit of having
01:28:35.480 been in some very high-profile
01:28:37.520 situations already and took lse like he
01:28:40.840 had been in the league you know what I
01:28:42.400 mean he he he had um done pro wrestling
01:28:47.080 he had done a lot of things he had been
01:28:49.440 televised and some things that hadn't
01:28:51.520 worked right and this was just
01:28:53.679 fortuitous for him and now you know what
01:28:57.480 nobody has ever said in the whole
01:28:59.400 industry in 20 years about you know the
01:29:02.239 whole Money Mike not getting raped in
01:29:04.600 the bathroom right so I understood going
01:29:07.760 in that there's no reason I
01:29:10.719 lost every for a five-year period every
01:29:14.760 single movie that Kevin Hart did was a
01:29:18.360 movie that had been on my desk that all
01:29:21.159 I had said was just can we take some of
01:29:23.840 this step and fetchet [ __ ] out and then
01:29:26.199 I can do it like it don't need to be
01:29:28.040 overtly homosexual cuz I'm not
01:29:30.080 homosexual right it doesn't need that to
01:29:32.440 be funny right and and me saying that
01:29:35.880 and them going oh yeah no problem and
01:29:37.760 then going to give it to this other guy
01:29:39.800 and having him do it just like it was
01:29:42.440 and acting like I'm a bad person because
01:29:45.000 I keep standing on my standard but um
01:29:49.360 yeah it's uh it's interesting but I
01:29:52.080 wouldn't change it for the world like
01:29:54.080 again
01:29:56.199 I'm I'm on The Winning Side of these
01:30:00.159 decisions you know look I've had Cube
01:30:02.280 I've talked to cube and a lot of people
01:30:03.760 say Cube don't doesn't pay what's your
01:30:05.760 relationship with Cube and what did that
01:30:07.600 opportunity mean for
01:30:12.760 you well the ungrateful bastards that
01:30:15.760 was say anything about Cub's
01:30:18.760 payment you shouldn't even talk to them
01:30:21.440 anymore
01:30:22.520 like you don't you don't go to Goodwill
01:30:25.040 you don't go to a Goodwill thrift store

01:30:37.199 ball main you want to have that
01:30:38.400 conversation what you mean the
01:30:39.960 independent black dude who's filming it
01:30:42.440 partly out of his [ __ ] pocket what
01:30:44.719 you mean he didn't pay you enough they
01:30:47.080 weirdos weirdos that felt like they
01:30:49.840 earned the opportunity because they were

01:31:48.600 just going to tell you the truth of how
01:31:49.760 I went would you be willing to do
01:31:51.239 another Friday
01:31:53.760 Cube already asked me to write it I was
01:31:56.119 supposed to have been writing it that's
01:31:58.639 this is what these guys are mad about
01:32:02.600 like we lost some great people before
01:32:05.560 this movie could come out regardless and
01:32:09.480 so yes
01:32:10.960 there desperately needs to be one
01:32:15.760 um um but um we missed John wither spoon
01:32:21.480 in in a way that can't really be
01:32:23.400 Quantified if I'm being honest with you
01:32:26.560 and um the Chris Tucker that we got now
01:32:29.960 is Epstein Island Chris Tucker Oh not
01:32:33.560 smokey oh Lord
01:32:39.520 Mercy if I didn't know no better I tell
01:32:41.760 you he's the greatest I don't care what
01:32:43.600 to
01:32:46.280 say to be confident and not delusional
01:32:49.440 is a real
01:32:50.639 skill
01:32:52.520 most of these confident people we see is
01:32:54.440 really dulu well you don't think you
01:32:56.159 don't think they ask Chris Tucker to
01:32:57.440 come back in the second in the in the
01:32:59.080 second
01:33:04.560 Friday smokey smokey was all in smoking
01:33:08.080 there ain't no Friday without
01:33:09.760 smoking we all agree to that and there's
01:33:12.040 no next Friday without Friday and
01:33:13.719 there's no Friday After Next without we
01:33:15.760 talk about the road because you said if
01:33:17.040 they don't here's the thing here's the
01:33:20.560 thing Chris was allowed to make the
01:33:23.639 decision at the time that this is
01:33:27.400 happening Cat Williams is known for
01:33:29.760 smoking weed Willie Nelson is known for
01:33:32.639 smoking weed snoop's known for smoking
01:33:35.119 weed but none of us is really known
01:33:37.119 except will it and I'm saying Chris
01:33:40.080 Tucker didn't want to be the poster
01:33:41.639 child for smoking weed he don't smoke
01:33:43.639 weed like that he in the church he
01:33:46.719 Michael Jackson's best friend Christmas
01:33:49.840 Michael Jackson called him Christmas you
01:33:52.119 ever met a man that gave you a little
01:33:53.840 nickname like that no me
01:33:56.510 [Laughter]
01:34:02.360 neither must be the
01:34:04.480 greatest man I ain't going to be able to
01:34:06.239 get nobody back on I ain't going to be
01:34:07.280 able to get no more comedians they all
01:34:09.280 coming no they ain't are you kidding nah
01:34:12.440 hey I proba good thing I got all the
01:34:13.880 rest of them I I done got the ones every
01:34:16.159 I promise you everybody trying to double
01:34:17.840 back you going to be having to beat them
01:34:19.400 off with a
01:34:20.480 stick you won't let him they
01:34:23.880 coming much
01:34:29.159 as you on De Comedy Jam Comic View what
01:34:33.199 were those experiences like what do you
01:34:34.760 what do you remember most about de
01:34:36.040 Comedy Jam and Comic
01:34:39.760 View uh Comic View was everything um
01:34:42.920 Comic View was really The Break um and
01:34:45.600 not Friday After Next just because Comic
01:34:48.639 View was just 3,000 of your standup up
01:34:51.719 peers and we just throw sets of all of
01:34:55.119 them up there and we see who the
01:34:57.080 audience likes who do they like and um
01:35:00.520 it was a great Wild Wild West time to be
01:35:03.480 involved in comedy and um the same is
01:35:06.760 true for de Jam because uh hip-hop was a
01:35:10.840 fad at one time and Hip-Hop ain't going
01:35:12.880 to last and why you doing that um and
01:35:15.719 that's how it was for blue comedy um if
01:35:18.560 you were a comedian that cussed you were
01:35:21.679 ridiculed by the
01:35:23.800 mainstream comedy Guist that would be
01:35:26.719 like me being on Joe Rogan Joe don't
01:35:29.719 want me on there I need to be on Shannon
01:35:32.440 Joe Joe got six comedians that never
01:35:35.239 been funny he want to push
01:35:40.239 out but that's really how it is I'm so
01:35:43.320 sorry I'm competitive you're an athlete
01:35:45.199 right yeah yeah I I can tell you
01:35:47.480 understand will there ever be another
01:35:50.000 comic new de Comedy Jam could could
01:35:51.960 could that in today in 24 25 26 could we
01:35:55.760 see that again they've already announced
01:35:57.760 it's already going you didn't know yeah
01:36:00.119 Kevin Hart purchased it so he's now
01:36:03.480 doing uh ComEd view that happened at the
01:36:05.960 same time that they gave DC Young Fly uh
01:36:08.560 Hollywood Squares yeah because they tell
01:36:10.840 you that there's no Gatekeepers but we
01:36:13.360 keep seeing the same people open the
01:36:15.600 gate didn't Kevin open the gate and let
01:36:18.159 Tiffany in and he now opening it up for
01:36:22.000 don't such and such open the Gat what do
01:36:24.199 you mean ain't no
01:36:25.400 Gatekeepers there's a 100 Gates out here
01:36:28.520 would you I everyone I've seen got a
01:36:30.600 keeper would you have wanted to do Comic
01:36:32.719 View a de Comedy Jam would you have
01:36:34.000 wanted to be I think we just mentioned I
01:36:35.800 did them both no I'm saying he purchased
01:36:38.800 the rights
01:36:40.440 and refranchising
01:36:45.080 NOP they didn't offer it to me
01:36:49.960 anyway like Comic View did a couple
01:36:52.520 disservices to Comedy as well so there
01:36:55.560 were people like me that were out there
01:36:57.400 getting two and three standing ovations
01:36:59.560 in one set and that wasn't good for
01:37:02.360 television so what they did was they
01:37:04.760 started making everybody get a standing
01:37:07.080 Novation so they would tell the audience
01:37:09.520 when they get off stage Everybody Get Up
01:37:11.840 and cheer and so now the fact that I'm
01:37:15.040 the only one out there going to get
01:37:17.199 standing ovations is now making people
01:37:19.600 think everybody get a stand in Ovation
01:37:22.600 and that's not how comedy is so I I
01:37:25.960 understood why that couldn't go anymore
01:37:28.239 because remember Ricky Smiley sat right
01:37:30.119 here and told you a story about how he
01:37:31.880 performed with uh Mike EPs and Cat
01:37:34.960 Williams when he did Comic View and to
01:37:36.920 let him tell it he was funnier than
01:37:42.920 both my name
01:37:46.840 little he talking about the special
01:37:48.920 needs that's Oho that's good that's a
01:37:51.639 different time some clever material that
01:37:53.639 was a different time cat no it wasn't it
01:37:55.760 was the time I was there but I'm saying
01:37:58.119 that time this time same times no but
01:38:00.599 I'm saying just like people that tell
01:38:01.960 you the Egyptians they're not black
01:38:04.480 Egypt is in Africa folks as long as
01:38:07.440 Egypt is in Africa then Egyptians are
01:38:10.840 African do you believe you could tell
01:38:13.159 the same jokes
01:38:15.679 today as when you started
01:38:18.320 out I mean Eddie Murphy not telling
01:38:20.440 those jokes Richard not being wouldn't
01:38:22.119 be able to tell those jokes in 2024 that
01:38:24.199 they told in the 70s and the ' 80s so
01:38:26.639 they wouldn't have told them but that's
01:38:28.400 my point they're not inferior people no
01:38:31.280 if they were in this time they will be
01:38:33.080 going according to our time just like
01:38:35.280 then we were going according to that
01:38:37.599 like that's how it is in the world there
01:38:39.840 are words that we can use for a while
01:38:42.480 and we use them for a while until
01:38:44.080 somebody says that ain't a good word we
01:38:46.199 should stop saying that correct that
01:38:48.239 don't make people feel good and we stop
01:38:49.960 saying the word and we move on to
01:38:51.920 another word you can't say the r word
01:38:54.199 you can certainly say special needs you
01:38:56.239 can certainly say Spectrum you can you
01:38:58.719 can you there are things that you can
01:39:00.320 say to get your point that don't have to
01:39:02.000 hurt people but you would know that if
01:39:04.040 what you did was construct the English
01:39:07.239 language for a
01:39:09.199 living then you would understand that
01:39:12.280 part you financed your first standup you
01:39:15.080 had 20 it cost you
01:39:17.080 22,000 you had 25 to your name what why
01:39:20.719 did you decide to do
01:39:22.760 that you you you you believe that much
01:39:25.480 in cat I believe that much in business
01:39:28.560 and business the goal is for you to
01:39:30.599 become independent and be the boss take
01:39:32.760 the responsibility and also get the
01:39:35.159 profit
01:39:36.920 okay that's all how how how can I be
01:39:40.760 looking for you to put me on if I
01:39:44.199 wouldn't and if I can't show you what
01:39:46.920 you missed out on why would you believe
01:39:49.520 me now the fact that I was able to do it
01:39:52.320 12
01:39:55.679 times that's the real thing the thing
01:39:58.199 the part that I'm able to do it all
01:39:59.599 across the country the fact that every
01:40:01.599 time I do a tour or a special you think
01:40:04.280 that's sponsored by somebody somebody
01:40:06.520 did a good job no no
01:40:10.520 just just the guy they're kicking around
01:40:13.040 just the one that might mentally not be
01:40:15.119 all there he's the one picking the
01:40:16.960 outfits writing this guy's material
01:40:19.080 booking the shows making sure he gets
01:40:21.119 there he's the one hiring the other
01:40:22.599 comedians
01:40:23.960 he's but hey I knew that that's the end
01:40:28.040 goal so if that's the end goal and I'm
01:40:30.880 there when I start why would I deviate
01:40:33.360 from that right remember I I I I my goal
01:40:37.960 was to get this far in Hollywood and
01:40:40.159 still have a virgin
01:40:43.760 [ __ ] and never had sucked a penis
01:40:47.040 that was my only goal I didn't want to
01:40:51.719 get with a white woman cuz I was scared
01:40:53.679 she might have me running down the
01:40:55.080 street like
01:40:57.480 Jonathan not because I didn't like white
01:40:59.719 women I think white women are as great
01:41:01.280 as any other women but I'm not going to
01:41:03.320 act like I'm not scared of them I have a
01:41:05.440 reason to be scared you could be K the
01:41:08.000 Conqueror and they could take your
01:41:09.960 rabbit ass down in two weekends and
01:41:13.080 that's the truth of the matter so I say
01:41:14.880 away from that and remember I told you
01:41:16.280 the drug story from when I'm in the Park
01:41:18.960 yeah so these are just the things I had
01:41:21.400 all of those when I came in I already
01:41:24.000 was ready for that that's what they
01:41:27.080 don't like I did not know you you're
01:41:30.599 telling me and showing me a side of the
01:41:33.239 business that I didn't know that you
01:41:36.560 guys a man the competition the
01:41:39.280 competitiveness that's all business I
01:41:42.520 don't care if they selling Coke you
01:41:44.960 wouldn't believe the things that
01:41:46.639 cocacola says about Pepsi you wouldn't
01:41:50.000 believe the water conversations between
01:41:53.480 danani and liquid de like in all
01:41:57.440 business in All Sport competition is a
01:42:01.520 driving force I don't require anybody to
01:42:04.960 be better who am I I just require if
01:42:08.159 you're a loser and you've taken
01:42:10.480 shortcuts at every chance and you've
01:42:14.000 made sure that you didn't put anybody on
01:42:16.760 that really had a work ethic and was a
01:42:19.239 God-fearing person and you
01:42:21.280 helped that if that was never you then
01:42:24.159 don't act like that's you don't get out
01:42:27.119 here now that you don't do stand up and
01:42:28.880 start acting like oh you not sure why
01:42:30.880 you don't do standup no more I heard you
01:42:33.000 got to run off you better be careful the
01:42:35.719 [ __ ] that run you off going to show up
01:42:37.199 and he going to tell everybody man what
01:42:38.719 you going to be able to say
01:42:40.760 nothing why you think I speak with such
01:42:43.239 Clarity I'm actually involved in each
01:42:45.639 one of these stories I told you
01:42:48.880 about right

01:47:28.679 trusted uh my opinion on things and um
01:47:33.159 that's where I got to be helpful in his
01:47:35.679 life and he was helpful in mind in um
01:47:39.040 really all different types of way
01:47:40.880 especially about the business as far as
01:47:42.800 being a black man that was rich in this
01:47:45.480 business at 18 years old had already did
01:47:48.080 his first million dooll contract had
01:47:49.920 already broken Records Was determined
01:47:52.400 that he didn't want to be like anybody
01:47:54.199 else was so great of a guitar player
01:47:58.040 that black people just stopped caring
01:48:00.000 about guitar and he got left out on the
01:48:02.360 limb and somehow still had to create his
01:48:04.760 way out of that he was just really a a a
01:48:07.960 one in a billion type person I was
01:48:09.760 luging it
01:48:11.000 on
01:48:12.560 now they are specials and the streaming
01:48:16.520 um I don't know I don't think there's as
01:48:18.800 many there's no DVD now so where so so
01:48:22.639 where are you on this this streaming the
01:48:24.480 specials I mean obviously you you still
01:48:26.719 tour but how much do you focus on okay
01:48:30.199 I'm going tour say 100 days or 150 days
01:48:33.599 but I'm going to do a
01:48:36.360 special well now that our relationship
01:48:39.560 with Netflix is at the eight figure Mark
01:48:44.159 um eight how how you eight how often you
01:48:48.480 want to make them you you said eight I
01:48:50.320 mean like like five six seven eight got
01:48:54.199 to be 10 million to qualify yeah so what
01:48:56.560 I'm saying is once you're at that level
01:48:59.000 how many would you do I I I I'd be
01:49:01.960 willing to bet you
01:49:03.719 say every time you turn around I'm going
01:49:06.159 to be doing another one I think that's
01:49:08.080 what you would say if he was any good
01:49:10.000 and like I said like I said with 12
01:49:12.280 comedy specials why do I need to be in
01:49:14.560 these conversation with these specialist
01:49:18.159 people say it ain't got no special you
01:49:20.800 remember Steve ain't got no specials you
01:49:22.960 remember Ricky ain't got no special you
01:49:24.880 remember Fon ain't got no what so why do
01:49:27.760 yall special yep it was 20 minutes long
01:49:30.719 it was good too though it was he's good
01:49:33.960 not it was good he's good qu good don't
01:49:37.639 think because I said
01:49:39.719 something um derogatory that I I don't I
01:49:43.800 don't know how to hate earthquake has
01:49:47.000 consistently I don't think anybody's
01:49:48.760 ever said Quake wasn't funny
01:49:50.639 he he probably never been booed I don't
01:49:52.960 think I don't think he's ever given a
01:49:54.760 bad
01:49:56.239 performance but but
01:50:00.800 um but his just du was overdue he was in
01:50:05.080 a whole different situation yeah because
01:50:07.560 he wasn't able to translate the standup
01:50:10.480 to the movie thing he took a hit most
01:50:14.360 people don't take a hit they're just
01:50:16.000 judged on their standup so yeah no I I
01:50:20.679 even though it sounds like there's a lot
01:50:23.159 of people I don't that's not the case I
01:50:25.679 I am a i a proponent of all of us who
01:50:29.159 are in this business working hard trying
01:50:30.960 to make it when you got in the stand up
01:50:32.760 was crossing over was doing TV was doing
01:50:34.920 movie was that was that a part of it
01:50:36.880 you're like okay I'm going I'm doing
01:50:38.280 standup okay next next the the next
01:50:40.920 progression is TV
01:50:43.239 movies throughout throughout the history
01:50:45.719 of standup sir that's that's the goal
01:50:48.199 for all of us that's how it goes that's
01:50:50.440 why when you hear these dudes talking
01:50:52.199 about oh I didn't want to be a movie
01:50:53.960 star you just know it's disingenuous
01:50:56.320 like what are you talking about dude
01:50:59.199 yeah oh no no I just wanted to do a game
01:51:01.360 show right
01:51:03.320 what are you
01:51:05.159 sure are you sure cuz I thought you did
01:51:08.520 Mark Curry's show over after he had just
01:51:11.360 done hanging with Mr
01:51:13.360 Cooper why would you do all of that
01:51:15.719 man's stuff that he did on his show on
01:51:17.840 yours and then do the dud stand up when
01:51:21.760 you go on the road and then you never
01:51:24.560 put Mark Curry on your show or nothing
01:51:27.440 like if you don't say anything these
01:51:30.040 dudes will run over you I don't know if
01:51:32.040 you know how bullies operate but if you
01:51:34.360 don't stand up for yourself there really
01:51:37.119 is nothing they want to do right you're
01:51:40.000 a very generous man cat uh you you're
01:51:42.840 the sole sponsor of me Mo getting a
01:51:45.560 start in Hollywood Walker Fame you sp
01:51:47.560 you did all that on your own why
01:51:50.800 what do you have a personal relationship
01:51:52.239 with
01:51:53.040 Melba No No I
01:51:56.840 um I I understood that she was a black
01:52:01.480 woman in a time
01:52:03.679 where it mattered what you look like and
01:52:06.440 they had a certain thing that they
01:52:08.360 needed you to look like and act like in
01:52:10.400 order to be successful and she just
01:52:12.800 never did that she wasn't tall enough
01:52:16.280 she wasn't fine uh they didn't like her
01:52:19.159 looks they didn't like that her hair was
01:52:21.560 natural they talked crazy about her and
01:52:23.880 yet she still made all of these
01:52:26.880 achievements
01:52:28.440 and I'm like understand I'm already in
01:52:32.119 the comedy Hall of Fame I'm already
01:52:35.440 going to heaven no matter what happens
01:52:38.119 if it ends in a second I'm up there so
01:52:42.000 it gives me the leeway to do some things
01:52:45.440 that are simply because it's the right
01:52:47.440 thing to do so the truth of the matter
01:52:50.239 is they wanted to give me a star
01:52:54.719 but please don't consider me and this
01:52:57.520 this person been sitting on this list
01:52:59.960 this whole time and just cuz they ain't
01:53:02.440 got enough money they can't get they
01:53:04.000 just do that's crazy when do you start
01:53:07.560 that that's hurtful what if somebody
01:53:09.000 can't afford their flowers you mean they
01:53:10.639 don't get them no God don't operate like
01:53:13.159 that he was send a dummy like me to come
01:53:15.159 and take care of that just so that the
01:53:17.679 right thing happens that's how the
01:53:19.079 universe works
01:53:21.440 because remember I don't what am I
01:53:22.840 spending my money on I'm not spending my
01:53:24.719 money on strippers I ain't spending them
01:53:27.040 on drugs not like

01:54:52.280 that okay go ahead boy you done got me
01:54:54.520 cancelled how many times in this
01:54:56.679 program where's the
01:54:59.159 camera I didn't write nothing I said
01:55:01.599 tonight it's all been on these Q cards
01:55:04.040 and I'm just going to keep reading
01:55:07.560 them ask your next
01:55:09.880 question the Migos do you help them get
01:55:12.599 out of financial
01:55:18.599 situation
01:55:22.159 I don't think we ever as a nation can
01:55:24.520 remember a time that the Amigos were
01:55:26.560 financially
01:55:27.840 unsuccessful so for the record I would
01:55:30.400 assume that they've never needed Cat
01:55:33.520 Williams financial assistance for
01:55:35.760 anything I'm sure that between QC to
01:55:38.400 label and other things they were taken
01:55:40.920 care of on the other hand if I was given
01:55:43.400 the opportunity to help them would I of
01:55:46.360 course I would that's what I do I'm I'm
01:55:49.920 I'm a pro black
01:55:51.840 non-racist like I really really love
01:55:55.360 black people but I don't love them more
01:55:56.920 than other people I love everybody I
01:55:59.119 just I'm a black guy and I I I I I try
01:56:01.719 to stick with that but um yeah I I'm I'm
01:56:05.639 not one of those uh pillow talkers
01:56:07.920 either like when I do something good I'm
01:56:10.400 really not doing it for the gram it's
01:56:12.360 not it's not for it's not for any of
01:56:15.599 that I'm just doing it because it's good
01:56:17.239 to do I appreciate that I read I don't
01:56:20.239 know if this is true but I did read that
01:56:22.760 comedians on your show say that women
01:56:25.159 sometimes would bring them money and not
01:56:27.520 say where it came
01:56:30.880 from say that again comedians would say
01:56:34.960 women would bring the money and not say
01:56:38.000 where it came
01:56:39.840 from right so um I'm not a feminist like
01:56:44.920 um a feminist would be but I do believe
01:56:48.639 that there are no know there that in my
01:56:51.639 camp like if I had 35 people in my Camp
01:56:54.520 right I believe that other than four
01:56:57.119 jobs I believe that a woman is better at
01:57:00.560 any of them jobs than any man could be
01:57:03.880 okay so 10 of these jobs no man can work
01:57:07.199 because I rather a female be there if I
01:57:09.239 got to smell anybody's breath I want it
01:57:11.280 to be hers I don't want none of you
01:57:14.040 crusty like so so what I'm saying is it
01:57:18.040 if in a staffing issue I'm going to have
01:57:20.199 75% women just cuz I prefer them I I
01:57:23.719 don't prefer to hear two guys talking in
01:57:25.840 the corner I prefer to hear two ladies
01:57:27.719 talking in the corner I don't care what
01:57:28.880 they're talking about I just prefer that
01:57:31.320 so A lot of times I will utilize ladies
01:57:34.800 to convey a message if a comedian is
01:57:38.040 doing a great job um somewhere in the
01:57:41.280 country he he just did a masterful set
01:57:45.679 and nobody's going to pay him they just
01:57:48.119 clapping and I I know he's broke as [ __ ]
01:57:51.480 back there wouldn't it be nice if
01:57:53.920 somebody just showed up and gave him a
01:57:55.719 little blessing and he didn't have to
01:57:58.440 suck me off for it and thanks cat and
01:58:02.199 boy I really needed
01:58:05.679 it why would you do that if you was
01:58:08.360 actually just trying to help people you
01:58:09.960 would people know that's how I pay my
01:58:11.800 tie if I got paid $100,000 to be at your
01:58:15.560 city I'm going to take 10,000 of that
01:58:18.199 and put it in your homeless area not cuz
01:58:21.159 I got to cuz you gave me a 100 racks to
01:58:24.040 come to your little Rinky Dink Town who
01:58:26.400 would I be to not pay my ties back to
01:58:28.760 your town that's how I got in this
01:58:33.360 position
01:58:35.599 wow you adopted seven
01:58:39.040 kids
01:58:42.360 why that's a lot of kids for a man
01:58:45.239 that's as busy as you are travels as
01:58:47.679 much as you do on the road as much as
01:58:49.920 you are spend a lot of time because you
01:58:52.239 have to spend a lot I mean it's not easy
01:58:53.920 I mean maybe it comes just so comes so
01:58:55.880 natural to you to put pen the paper and
01:58:58.000 to write things down and be able to go
01:58:59.639 out there and perform a set but that's a
01:59:02.040 lot of responsibility
01:59:04.040 cat
01:59:05.639 right right but if there was a
01:59:10.239 god what would he think about you if you
01:59:12.599 did
01:59:15.280 that I'm saying let's just let's say for
01:59:18.400 example okay that God is real yes okay
01:59:21.000 and let's say he be looking at what you
01:59:22.560 do yes what would he say if you did that
01:59:25.679 he said that cat that's that's a very
01:59:27.280 that's a very kind gesture that's very
01:59:30.800 generous of
01:59:33.000 you my whole life since I was telling
01:59:36.199 you when I was young and they was asking
01:59:37.719 me what I wanted to be and nothing I
01:59:39.040 wanted to be was what I wanted to be
01:59:41.440 God's friend that's a weird thing if you
01:59:44.079 a
01:59:45.000 atheist if you're an atheist I didn't
01:59:47.079 even say nothing but if you believe
01:59:49.239 believe in God and I tell you that I
01:59:50.679 wanted to be God's friend and I wanted
01:59:52.560 to even go to Hollywood and still be
01:59:55.119 God's friend if I told you that that was
01:59:57.320 my aim you can understand where I'm at
02:00:00.960 like I promise you I no jealousy no
02:00:04.760 bitterness none of that I got exactly
02:00:07.480 what I was trying to get I haven't been
02:00:09.159 shorted in any
02:00:11.760 way I mean seven eight kids single you

02:01:44.960 cheap so back in the day I would get my
02:01:47.480 girl a donkey today we get her color now
02:01:49.719 but I'm saying whoever I'm saying
02:01:51.599 whoever whatever it is I'm saying we
02:01:55.560 yeah I'm saying because what we going to
02:01:57.520 do I done already told you I'm one of
02:01:59.719 the richest people that ever Liv yes
02:02:02.440 only in the fact that when I wake up in
02:02:04.320 the morning no matter where I am I don't
02:02:06.360 need nothing whatever I need is right
02:02:08.719 around me and whatever I don't have it's
02:02:12.199 only just cuz I don't have it it's not
02:02:15.199 cuz I can't get it all I got to do is
02:02:18.159 want it and it belongs to me so because
02:02:20.599 of that because I'm favored by God like
02:02:23.119 when I see people's wives and stuff I
02:02:24.880 don't even look at them you know what I
02:02:26.280 mean like I I don't want to look at
02:02:28.199 nothing I don't want to have because I I
02:02:31.280 know how blessed I am if I look at it I
02:02:33.520 got it that's how Diddy be feeling come
02:02:36.800 on
02:02:41.520 man so you're not supposed to look at
02:02:44.239 anything that you don't want not me
02:02:47.040 personally just because God has given me
02:02:49.960 literally everything I ever even pump
02:02:53.280 faked like I want and that's the whole
02:02:56.000 thing that's that's the whole thing is I
02:02:58.400 don't I don't have a type of woman every
02:03:00.800 woman that I ever had as a type I ended
02:03:03.520 up getting her now she's not the type
02:03:06.199 anymore now I understand that every
02:03:09.079 woman is a one of one like you can't
02:03:12.440 really have
02:03:16.760 types what cuz see Tred to ask me
02:03:19.520 something about marriage but then I I
02:03:21.480 ain't say nothing about no marriage yeah
02:03:22.960 you did when you rewind the tape you you
02:03:24.719 let it out you was like so you ever
02:03:26.719 going to get married and then you took
02:03:27.960 it back it's okay it's okay I was known
02:03:30.880 as a photographic memory are you I'm not
02:03:34.079 against it like most people that are not
02:03:35.599 married is because they afraid of
02:03:37.079 commitment it's not that like that for
02:03:38.679 me it's just the whole time I wanted to
02:03:41.520 be married I I had kids so I had to try
02:03:46.119 to fill my wife's place before she got
02:03:48.440 there I'm already got kids without a
02:03:50.239 mother but so now I got to be doing
02:03:52.480 laundry I'm I'm washing dishes I'm
02:03:55.280 reading stories I'm having to nurture
02:03:58.079 I'm having to do all of this and I got
02:03:59.559 to the point where I didn't need the
02:04:02.760 wife I'm doing it and we're doing it and
02:04:05.480 I'm not replacing a woman in their lives
02:04:09.040 I'm letting them see that that's just
02:04:11.320 the only thing that we don't have and um
02:04:14.559 it was easier for me to do that because
02:04:16.440 you have to understand that all of the
02:04:19.159 kids I'm raising at this point they have
02:04:23.800 fathers you see they have a mother you
02:04:27.239 see I'm a different person I'm raising
02:04:30.400 you and so that needs to be done with
02:04:32.960 the other respect for the others that
02:04:36.320 put work in as well so yeah um I I never
02:04:39.920 had a problem getting married
02:04:42.840 I what's one of the one things you try
02:04:45.119 to teach your
02:04:47.480 kids I don't teach anybody anything
02:04:50.000 that's over 18 I've done the work I was
02:04:52.480 going to do but as kids I really just
02:04:56.000 tried to teach
02:04:58.400 um the things that can't be bought um
02:05:01.880 your integrity um trying to live your
02:05:05.639 life in a way that you yourself could be
02:05:08.559 proud of if you had to look back on it
02:05:11.520 and um um I didn't do very good at
02:05:15.599 leading by example but behind the scenes
02:05:18.800 I was that that's never what I was
02:05:20.800 pushing um um they understood
02:05:26.199 that because of my stance there was a
02:05:30.000 certain thing that would come my way and
02:05:32.639 so accountability and responsibility is
02:05:35.679 part of what you're teaching is that you
02:05:37.960 know even if you're doing the greatest
02:05:40.079 thing in the world there's this thing
02:05:42.719 called no good deed goes unpunished like
02:05:46.239 there's a real Murphy's Law like
02:05:49.599 but basically in raising kids you're
02:05:51.400 just trying to give them a better manual
02:05:54.520 and an outline of how life Works than
02:05:57.520 your parents gave you you know and so
02:06:02.000 um that's how I did
02:06:06.480 it how do you avoid toxic
02:06:09.480 women give me give me give me I mean so
02:06:11.960 I mean because obviously you know you
02:06:14.040 like women I do and I probably like
02:06:17.079 toxic ones more than
02:06:19.400 because I ask you hold on because toxic
02:06:21.960 women are exciting and that's just a
02:06:24.280 fact part of toxicity is
02:06:27.840 exciting I'd rather skydive with her uh
02:06:32.360 but but but if you have toxic women just
02:06:35.960 understand that all monsters are feeding
02:06:38.520 off of something and if you find out
02:06:42.119 what this toxic woman is feeding off of
02:06:45.559 you can just begin to turn off her
02:06:47.559 feeding points
02:06:49.480 and it drives a toxic person crazy and
02:06:52.239 they'll get away from you so whatever if
02:06:55.000 if she's truly toxic there are certain
02:06:57.760 things that she's doing that help fuel
02:07:00.040 her toxicity you're not noticing it but
02:07:03.040 it's what it is why do you think she
02:07:04.960 watches murder mysteries before she goes
02:07:06.840 to sleep why is it always a crime drama
02:07:09.679 playing and turn it off turn the
02:07:13.760 cartoons
02:07:17.520 make
02:07:20.360 no no you don't get to what she
02:07:22.000 listening to you going be listening to
02:07:24.559 sexy red you're
02:07:33.040 broke toxic people are trying to get
02:07:35.920 things they're not being toxic for no
02:07:38.040 reason they're gaining something out of
02:07:40.559 how they operate that's why they operate
02:07:43.119 like that cuz they get something soon as
02:07:45.320 you find that out you'll be able to cut
02:07:46.920 off what they getting and they will
02:07:49.679 leave
02:07:52.520 yeah you were married once never you
02:07:56.079 weren't married never in life so would
02:07:58.719 you have a cohabitation agreement never
02:08:02.040 how how could I be a single parent and
02:08:04.320 be married you could two you know there
02:08:06.360 are people that like were married and
02:08:07.880 then they get divorced and then they
02:08:08.960 become single parents that's how that
02:08:12.920 works yeah but a person who's never been
02:08:15.199 married means he's never been married
02:08:17.239 okay okay I'mma take your word for it
02:08:20.880 why would you need to take my word for
02:08:22.159 it hold on hold on if I had been married
02:08:24.320 wouldn't it somebody said who she was no
02:08:27.440 it might have been a long time ago Noe
02:08:29.719 I've never not been famous sir I've just
02:08:32.159 I just I just worked the story out to
02:08:34.280 you that I don't have no hidden
02:08:36.480 mysteries in my life that was Jesus I
02:08:39.360 don't have no periods in my life where
02:08:40.920 it's unaccounted for no no no that
02:08:43.360 person that said that was a liar I got a
02:08:45.800 case right now in La this lady saying
02:08:48.480 she was my assistant for 14 years and I
02:08:51.320 hurt her or something like that I never
02:08:53.960 worked for me not a day in my life liers
02:08:56.760 lie cuz they want to but people always
02:08:59.320 say why would they lie no there are
02:09:03.119 several women have said they was married
02:09:04.760 to me it's just when he went to court
02:09:06.559 they had to say I was married to him
02:09:09.119 spiritually you shut
02:09:12.000 up how you going to be married to me my
02:09:14.400 kids don't know
02:09:15.679 you answer me that so do you have a
02:09:19.320 problem do you have a problem bringing
02:09:21.440 women around your
02:09:24.280 kids no not then or
02:09:27.220 [Laughter]
02:09:29.400 now I've always lived with several women
02:09:33.040 like I'm known for several yeah like
02:09:35.239 more than one I've already told you that
02:09:37.119 I prefer the company of women to the
02:09:39.760 company of men so have I told you that
02:09:42.520 me and a couple dudes on my staff
02:09:45.280 sometimes have to cohabitate nobody
02:09:47.760 finds a problem with that yeah so it's
02:09:50.840 me and three ladies cohabitating because
02:09:53.159 that's how the business gets done like I
02:09:56.199 don't want a chef that scratches his
02:09:58.800 nuts for it Cooks I
02:10:01.880 don't like I no disrespect to these guys
02:10:05.000 that go around with these large male
02:10:07.679 only groupings

02:10:59.280 disappointed thinking they getting some
02:11:00.480 mother you
02:11:01.559 huh if they robbed you look I in three
02:11:05.559 cities there it's legendary that Cat
02:11:07.960 Williams would walk down our streets
02:11:11.320 with his baby in a baby stroller with a
02:11:13.719 diaper bag with a gun in a diaper bag
02:11:16.320 the only thing I need is a pass don't
02:11:18.760 mess with me and just let me go about my
02:11:20.880 business I I'm living in Englewood
02:11:23.400 Compton I'm living on Manchester and
02:11:25.280 Western I'm in La the gang capital of
02:11:28.400 the world but never robbed because why
02:11:32.159 I'm not pretending to be something I'm
02:11:34.920 not you think I'm a blood you think I'm
02:11:38.040 a [ __ ] I'm from Ohio I'm a comedian I'm
02:11:42.079 a father right I'm trying to do
02:11:44.280 something out here and not only do I not
02:11:46.520 judge what you doing I'm not trying to
02:11:48.480 be involved right that's the difference
02:11:51.079 that's where the respect comes
02:11:53.119 from to you're touring right now Dark
02:11:55.679 Matters the Dark Matter tour yeah
02:11:58.159 filming next uh uh Netflix special in
02:12:01.760 May May y next Netflix special oh
02:12:04.360 YouTube theater in Englewood I'm about
02:12:06.159 to catch that I thought you might said
02:12:08.639 that I'mma catch that one right because
02:12:10.520 it's a homecoming for me because I lived
02:12:12.520 on um I lived on Hazel so you know I got
02:12:16.760 to cat people know I lived in heart of
02:12:19.199 Engle wood they saw me walk down marus
02:12:22.559 street with the babies I'm raising like
02:12:24.360 they understood that no no no I was
02:12:26.719 really not pretend oh he want to be from
02:12:29.280 the hood no I'm living there on the
02:12:31.040 street what's your favorite City to tour
02:12:36.400 in the next one
02:12:39.079 sir yeah that's the that's the real
02:12:42.079 beauty of travel right that's why most
02:12:45.440 people don't have the Imp empathy and
02:12:48.559 the sympathy that they need to have for
02:12:50.639 other people is cuz they haven't seen
02:12:52.760 other people right like if you went to
02:12:55.079 Ireland and you saw what them people was
02:12:57.520 like and you went to Sweden and saw what
02:12:59.840 them people was like if you really went
02:13:02.079 to Africa and you really saw what the
02:13:04.199 people was like you went to Hai you went
02:13:06.119 to Puerto Rico if you really traveled
02:13:08.119 across the country you would see that
02:13:10.599 all people is the
02:13:12.440 same it's way more people that's good
02:13:17.159 than the [ __ ] up individuals you
02:13:19.159 seeing and if you understood that it
02:13:22.119 would change everything so I don't I I I
02:13:25.599 don't have any favorites in the world
02:13:28.920 just because every place is dealing with
02:13:32.199 their own issues their own troubles all
02:13:34.760 places look better than they actually
02:13:36.760 are for the people that live there and
02:13:39.320 it's always a difference between what it
02:13:41.320 seems like and what it actually and what
02:13:43.239 it is like people will tell you I went
02:13:45.159 to Paris I was there at the I Tower
02:13:49.280 [ __ ] you had bed bugs and there were
02:13:51.880 ramps everywhere the food was terrible
02:13:54.079 tell the rest of it don't tell some let
02:13:56.960 me ask a question when you go when you
02:13:58.400 go to these cities to tour do you make
02:13:59.960 it a habit of getting out that's how I
02:14:02.480 built my reputation it's also how I
02:14:04.239 ended up in jail 19 times uh because
02:14:07.040 when I come to do a show I'm really in
02:14:09.360 your city so whatever the strip club is
02:14:11.480 I'm there whatever the top bar is I was
02:14:13.480 there drinking whatever the I was you
02:14:16.199 had a casino I was at it like what it
02:14:20.119 huh cuz I'm in your city I'm a this is
02:14:22.800 how I'm learning your city so that when
02:14:25.920 I do my show I can be talking about what
02:14:28.239 I know not what I think right and so
02:14:31.520 that was what I did at every city that I
02:14:33.760 went to the first 15 minutes of my show
02:14:36.280 is what it's like to be here you see
02:14:39.520 what I'm saying and so that was always a
02:14:42.960 part of what kept my Legend going to the
02:14:45.800 point where I can still be in the Arenas
02:14:49.239 without you ever seeing a poster with my
02:14:52.079 picture on it without you ever seeing a
02:14:54.079 flyer without you ever seeing a post it
02:14:56.599 goes hey it's cat could y'all make sure
02:14:58.599 y'all come out and come see me cuz I'm
02:15:00.440 going be in would you please come on out
02:15:03.320 guys and I
02:15:06.400 really because we have a different
02:15:09.079 respect I know I'm coming they know I'm
02:15:13.040 coming I know they going to be there and
02:15:16.199 they know I'm going do the best job I
02:15:18.199 can possibly do and they know beyond the
02:15:20.760 shadow of a doubt whatever hour he was
02:15:23.679 doing when we last saw him he won't be
02:15:26.920 doing that hour when we see him this
02:15:29.320 time it's a whole new
02:15:31.480 conversation and because I've never
02:15:33.840 strayed from that they've never strayed
02:15:36.440 from their part I'm looking at some of
02:15:38.920 the the the the actors that you've been
02:15:40.840 on screen with Cube Tracy Morgan Regina
02:15:43.639 Hall Terence Howard they are look Nick
02:15:46.280 Canon I mean Tiffany I mean bro who who
02:15:49.079 brings out the best in Cat Williams how
02:15:51.000 do how does someone get the best out of
02:15:53.440 Cat Williams do you need a comedian do
02:15:55.880 you need a serious actor how do we get
02:15:58.320 the absolute best out of Cat Williams on
02:16:03.320 screen well I would be disingenuous if I
02:16:06.360 didn't remind us that that's never
02:16:09.119 anybody's
02:16:10.840 goal it's never anybody's goal to create
02:16:13.760 a great situation for me to do a good
02:16:15.840 job why in a script the way it works is
02:16:18.480 the script is already there this is a
02:16:20.480 character in The Script if they give me
02:16:22.840 the job I make it my job that this
02:16:26.760 character here this character
02:16:30.400 here has to be as big as this whole
02:16:33.040 project so if you don't even see the
02:16:35.359 movie School Dance I want you to
02:16:38.318 remember who's goddamn white baby is
02:16:42.160 this and the only way that I can
02:16:44.280 guarantee that you will remember my
02:16:45.879 scene if you didn't remember a whole
02:16:47.398 movie movie is if I make sure that my
02:16:49.599 scenes are that good because that's what
02:16:54.120 I watched I watched great actors you
02:16:57.160 never saw daero you never saw peshy you
02:17:00.558 never saw any of these dudes and
02:17:02.439 something you was like nah I don't
02:17:04.040 really believe it you sure you're the
02:17:06.000 Great Gatsby like no like you believe
02:17:10.280 that this dude Danel is a
02:17:13.160 hobbit that's part of The Lord of the
02:17:15.959 Rings right you see I'm saying and so I
02:17:19.200 it's a having a respect for the craft
02:17:21.638 that I'm doing that means I got trying
02:17:24.359 to do the best job possible what was it
02:17:27.080 like working with Spike Lee doing
02:17:31.760 Priceless Spike Lee is everything that
02:17:34.359 you said I was in my intro he's just
02:17:37.160 really a innovator and a groundbreaking
02:17:39.799 One of a Kind
02:17:41.599 Dynamo and
02:17:43.959 um and I knew that they were
02:17:48.879 like they tried to sabotage me even then
02:17:51.040 like as soon as I said I wanted to get
02:17:52.959 Spike leader directed cuz that was the
02:17:54.840 biggest thing I could do they
02:17:56.879 immediately gave Spike to gerod
02:18:00.318 carmichel and had him do his special too
02:18:02.519 at the comedy store and just to
02:18:04.599 undermine like but I
02:18:08.120 I if there's one thing you can take away
02:18:10.599 from me as a person whether you like me
02:18:12.679 or you don't if you take this from me
02:18:14.920 you will be a better person if you deci
02:18:17.599 decide today that you're going to live
02:18:19.439 every day like it's your last for real
02:18:22.359 which means have a conversation with
02:18:24.318 yourself every night that okay that was
02:18:26.920 it may not be no more after that and
02:18:30.398 really count yourself every day like
02:18:33.040 this could have been it all right before
02:18:35.519 I go to bed this could be it all right
02:18:38.200 how's that
02:18:39.280 looking if you can do that it'll change
02:18:41.599 your life you'll really start making
02:18:44.478 decisions and living your life like this
02:18:46.398 all you got just this one day but you
02:18:49.359 could be a winner you could be a winner
02:18:51.398 on this day it just it's just work ethic
02:18:55.240 and not the work ethic they talk about
02:18:56.840 they tell you work ethic where they do
02:18:58.519 all these movies I'm the hardest working
02:19:00.840 man no everybody goes to work every day
02:19:02.799 but right yeah I'm say I go to work all
02:19:05.679 the time everybody who works goes to
02:19:07.359 work every day shut
02:19:08.879 up shut up you get what you think I
02:19:12.599 respect you more than my Gardener I
02:19:15.240 don't I don't he work every day rain or
02:19:19.519 shine I don't know if you saw this but
02:19:21.840 teraj P Henson got extremely emotional
02:19:24.240 the other day she was giving an
02:19:25.478 interview yes and saying
02:19:29.040 that they're vastly underpaid and say
02:19:31.718 the math is not mathing they get x
02:19:33.920 amount of dollars by the time Uncle Sam
02:19:35.679 get his cut by the time the agency get
02:19:37.558 their cut and what you see they were
02:19:39.599 supposed to get is a fraction of that
02:19:42.318 where do you come down on that
02:19:44.718 cat it was the saddest thing ever
02:19:47.160 because because
02:19:48.478 imagine imagine being in your genre in
02:19:51.399 your sub Niche whatever it is imagine
02:19:53.520 being in your lane imagine being one of
02:19:56.240 the very top of your lane that to the
02:19:59.479 point where if they don't take you for
02:20:01.439 the role there's not three black
02:20:03.560 actresses that they can say are bigger
02:20:05.560 than you that we going to give this to
02:20:07.439 imagine you being at that point and have
02:20:09.560 to humble yourself and
02:20:12.160 say they not paying me y'all and they
02:20:15.560 not making my pay go up cuz I'm doing
02:20:17.800 better or nothing it don't matter to
02:20:20.640 them that I'm famous and people know me
02:20:22.600 or nothing they want to pay me exactly
02:20:24.640 what they pay in the new girl and I've
02:20:27.280 been suffering under it for a a decade
02:20:30.200 now and just taking it I just been
02:20:32.720 getting whooped but I just got to come
02:20:35.240 say this is
02:20:40.120 wrong we should be ashamed but this is a
02:20:43.399 country where we don't pay the teachers
02:20:45.760 and then we say the kids is the most
02:20:47.760 important thing you can't have both of
02:20:49.840 them if you do that we're going to end
02:20:51.640 up with a generation that can't read
02:20:53.760 guess what generation Z and a can't read
02:20:57.280 why cuz who was giving him a book we
02:20:59.240 gave him an iPad or a phone and now the
02:21:01.880 letters don't mean the there's no
02:21:03.560 cursive writing sorry about that so yeah
02:21:06.640 it this is what period of time it's in
02:21:08.720 it's the period where the victims get to
02:21:12.600 say they've been hurting me for a long
02:21:15.120 time and I just ain't said nothing cuz I
02:21:17.720 was trying to be strong and I didn't
02:21:19.439 want to shame
02:21:21.439 anybody when our people call out for
02:21:23.840 help we got to understand you know what
02:21:25.920 I mean like like we we we put too much
02:21:28.880 pressure on Tyler Perry you know what I
02:21:31.000 mean he ain't put nobody on the people
02:21:33.920 that been in his Productions they not
02:21:35.560 famous all them can walk through the
02:21:37.080 mall without
02:21:39.040 security be what you going to be but put
02:21:41.280 your people on if you a gay person and
02:21:43.800 you in there put some other gay people
02:21:46.240 on
02:21:48.520 put somebody on or don't be wondering
02:21:52.240 why people keep saying
02:21:54.520 Gatekeepers cuz clearly y'all keeping
02:21:56.920 these
02:21:57.800 Gates
02:21:59.439 clearly wilding out how difficult was it
02:22:02.120 for Nick Kennan to get you on and what
02:22:04.560 what was that what was that experience
02:22:07.920 like I've known Lin Canon since he was a
02:22:10.800 teenager he had to have his he in the
02:22:14.479 comedy club if you're underage you can't
02:22:16.640 be in regular Club you had to be in the
02:22:18.560 kitchen right so I was the master of the
02:22:21.240 kitchen every comedy place because I got
02:22:23.359 a child and my child is back here in
02:22:26.240 this place while I go on stage right so
02:22:28.880 I've known Nick Canon since he was 14
02:22:31.080 Nick Cannon has never called and asked
02:22:33.560 me to do one single thing and I turned
02:22:37.399 him down because I've known him since he
02:22:39.520 was a young black child in Hollywood wow
02:22:42.640 so um what I did in wilding out was to
02:22:47.640 be his protector and to be his voice um
02:22:52.359 with hip hop so the whole thing was the
02:22:54.640 thing that he was trying to do had never
02:22:56.280 been done before you can't bring six
02:22:58.640 comics in and let six Comics talk [ __ ]
02:23:01.640 about six rappers because the six
02:23:03.720 rappers will beat the six Comics ass
02:23:06.319 right you will have to have a comic that
02:23:08.399 could actually stand in
02:23:11.160 between and go
02:23:13.600 look we Comics we going to say what we
02:23:16.560 going to say y'all going to take it and
02:23:19.319 understand it's a joke if you want to
02:23:21.560 fight we fight before the
02:23:23.279 show so you can go out there with your
02:23:25.520 black
02:23:26.640 eye we're not going to do it
02:23:29.720 comedically this is what needed to take
02:23:32.359 place in order to be for it to be
02:23:34.319 successful which is why it had already
02:23:36.359 aired and didn't work and then suddenly
02:23:38.680 when it comes back with me it suddenly
02:23:41.120 works because respect has to be in there
02:23:44.760 as well if you trying to do it with
02:23:47.080 having a heart you and him going to get
02:23:49.040 run over you you you a
02:23:52.640 teenager he fire too
02:23:55.720 like what's going to happen who are some
02:23:58.279 of your favorite young
02:24:01.520 comedians I don't I haven't seen a young
02:24:04.640 comedian I don't like if you name any of
02:24:08.160 the young comedians I'm aware of all of
02:24:10.680 them and they're all doing a great job
02:24:12.720 it doesn't matter if it's country Wayne
02:24:15.640 or Desi Banks it doesn't matter if it's
02:24:18.359 Carlos or chico it doesn't matter if
02:24:21.080 it's uh DC or just hilarious it it
02:24:25.000 really doesn't it really doesn't matter
02:24:27.760 once we go to the young part um the
02:24:30.720 young comedians are dealing with things
02:24:34.160 that we never dealt with and so that
02:24:37.479 gives them more benefits but it also
02:24:39.720 gives them uh more chances of failure so
02:24:42.920 it's not easier for them um so yeah I'm
02:24:46.760 I'm a big supporter of um young Comics
02:24:50.680 we we have uh Miss Pretty Ricky and Taro
02:24:54.120 Williams um I've taken
02:24:57.120 25 uh black women on the road in these
02:25:00.359 tours um it's important to me that the
02:25:03.439 young comic uh gets the benefits and the
02:25:07.000 advantages of the big Comics platform
02:25:10.279 right Matt R whing out recently got
02:25:14.439 cancelled you see Jonathan major what he
02:25:16.560 went through Marvel dropped him as soon
02:25:18.319 as they're guilty uh uh the conviction
02:25:20.760 came out and you were telling the hey
02:25:22.760 you saw that black woman come get his
02:25:24.920 charge cut in half thank you Megan good
02:25:28.399 God bless you coming to save that slave
02:25:32.359 if he had to be there by himself he was
02:25:34.520 getting all F guilty guilty guilty
02:25:37.000 guilty she came in there was just so
02:25:39.000 beautiful they had to knock half of it
02:25:40.640 off bless his
02:25:43.120 heart so Matt R you know you know him
02:25:46.080 from Wild and he gets cancelled for time
02:25:48.600 trying to tell I never knew him from
02:25:50.319 Wild and out to be honest I I I came
02:25:52.920 across him as a new comic okay and U
02:25:55.880 yeah I'm really just trying to see the
02:25:57.560 comics judge where they are see it yeah
02:26:00.160 right go ahead so the the counseling uh
02:26:04.359 what what what do you think about this
02:26:05.399 cancel culture you see the situation
02:26:07.439 with Jonathan major I mean for all sense
02:26:09.120 and purposes I I don't know if maybe he
02:26:11.319 can bounce back in in a couple of years
02:26:13.720 but man he was he was hot he was hot as
02:26:16.640 he was cooking I mean you see him in
02:26:18.359 Creed he's in the Marvel movies and then
02:26:21.120 just like that maybe I'm a conspiracy
02:26:22.920 theory but I thought Cal Williams said
02:26:24.960 any time they make you into that
02:26:28.200 position part of that contract is you do
02:26:32.200 understand whenever we want to take you
02:26:33.680 down we can
02:26:35.160 right part of giving you the world first
02:26:37.760 of all they went around the world for
02:26:39.800 two years straight telling any women
02:26:41.560 that would listen that this was a
02:26:42.960 good-looking negro mhm since when when
02:26:46.160 did y'all start liking a big nose and
02:26:48.680 when did y'all like a little head and a
02:26:50.760 big jaw when say when that look like my
02:26:53.600 daddy when you start liking my daddy you
02:26:55.600 like black people's features like that
02:26:57.720 if this ugly [ __ ] is goodlooking then
02:27:00.359 all [ __ ] is
02:27:02.680 goodlooking anytime you see them telling
02:27:04.840 you something you can't believe just
02:27:06.479 understand it's a play and it don't
02:27:08.600 matter you going to know it's a play
02:27:10.200 soon as they get in that position and
02:27:11.800 think they going to tell somebody
02:27:13.600 something no you're not no you're not
02:27:17.080 Marvel will cancel you so you won't be
02:27:20.040 allowed to read a comic book what is you
02:27:23.240 talking
02:27:24.479 about get out of here get out of here
02:27:27.800 ugly
02:27:29.319 boy yeah they love fooling the people
02:27:32.920 what's your relationship like with SH
02:27:34.319 not you still close with
02:27:36.160 SH have you spoken to him have you
02:27:38.319 talked to him recently yeah he doing
02:27:40.319 good
02:27:42.680 um yeah he's uh man when you a friend
02:27:45.640 you a friend for life with you with cat
02:27:47.520 William yeah because the people that
02:27:49.960 come to me are trying to better their
02:27:52.560 life they're not trying to continue
02:27:54.920 doing what they have been doing okay so
02:27:57.439 when somebody comes to me male or female
02:28:00.680 it is in the opes that this is what I
02:28:05.240 did this is what I used to do this ain't
02:28:07.200 what I want to do no more and I want to
02:28:08.840 do something else and I'd like it to go
02:28:10.560 a different way okay that's what I offer
02:28:13.240 yeah so um if you come to me under those
02:28:16.080 offices is then my loyalty is lifelong
02:28:19.520 why would it not
02:28:21.600 be T Lane and Meg what what would you
02:28:24.479 take on that cuz I know you you got to
02:28:25.920 take on everything I know you it's a
02:28:27.960 difficult position because somebody's
02:28:31.359 not going to tell the truth and the
02:28:33.399 truth has got to be told in all
02:28:36.040 circumstances the truth has got to be
02:28:37.920 told so if you don't want to say she
02:28:40.120 shot her then you shot her and that's
02:28:42.200 the end of
02:28:44.600 that oh you said you've never have you
02:28:48.279 ever spent time in
02:28:51.120 jail 30
02:28:52.610 [Laughter]
02:28:54.960 times when when you was in there what
02:28:57.200 was going through your mind C what what
02:28:59.000 did I mean some people like man I had an
02:29:01.200 opportunity to reflect and I was like
02:29:02.680 man this ain't the place for me I ain't
02:29:04.000 coming back here when you in so so what
02:29:06.359 I've never I've never been in jail and
02:29:08.120 it was my decision to be there if if if
02:29:11.640 it's dangerous to be in the hood and you
02:29:13.640 have to have a gun on you for protection
02:29:15.880 and it's either
02:29:17.120 be judged by six or I mean judged by 12
02:29:20.840 or carried by six I'm always going to
02:29:23.080 have my heater on me so if you want to
02:29:25.160 tell me that you're going to pull me
02:29:26.520 over 15 times looking for it I'm going
02:29:28.680 to tell you 15 times you going to find
02:29:31.160 it unfortunately I smoke cigarettes and
02:29:34.680 weed if you catch me 15 times 15 times
02:29:39.040 I'm going to have it on
02:29:41.560 me what do you think I'm in jail
02:29:44.160 thinking oh I don't [ __ ] up
02:29:47.720 damn these decisions I'm not going to
02:29:50.640 protect my life at all when I get out of
02:29:52.720 here [ __ ] it let them do what they want
02:29:54.760 to do to me no no when I'm in there I'm
02:29:58.000 fine and I'm understanding that I'm put
02:29:59.840 here for a reason and the people that
02:30:02.000 get joy off me being in here are really
02:30:04.279 going to look stupid cuz I'm F to be
02:30:06.000 free because you got to be setting this
02:30:08.279 up I'm never anywhere to get anything
02:30:11.200 you don't know I just made
02:30:13.200 $300,000 in your city that's why you
02:30:16.080 think might be out here as a Nar
02:30:19.080 Dell you think I'm he's smoking weed
02:30:22.200 yeah he's got a medical license for it
02:30:25.279 he needs it it's his only medication do
02:30:28.560 you mind if he takes it it helps him eat
02:30:32.760 cuz he does 19100 city tours flying
02:30:36.279 across the line and so he doesn't get
02:30:38.479 hungry on the regular he doesn't get
02:30:40.600 sleepy at night he's got to literally
02:30:42.520 put himself to sleep he's L got to make
02:30:44.560 himself eat so this marijuana helps him
02:30:47.680 do both of those
02:30:50.560 things marijuana help you sleep oh yeah
02:30:54.760 because remember remember as a comedian
02:30:56.960 what you're doing is against your
02:30:58.640 natural timeline your natural timeline
02:31:01.640 wouldn't be that you would start your
02:31:03.160 work day at 8:00 p.m. right and then
02:31:06.120 your work day is over at 2:30 a.m. like
02:31:09.600 that's a weird yes right so to tell your
02:31:12.520 body now that we're pumped up on
02:31:14.359 endorphins now let's go to sleep but
02:31:17.120 three it don't work like that your body
02:31:19.800 has to try to get a whole new schedule
02:31:22.279 so you know it suffered but that's what
02:31:24.479 worked for me I consistently used it I
02:31:27.160 told people all across the country don't
02:31:28.960 worry this will be legal in our country
02:31:31.640 as soon as they find out how to charge
02:31:33.640 taxes for it we will be legal in this
02:31:36.200 country do they view me as some sort of
02:31:38.600 visionary for my forward no no he own
02:31:44.200 drugs what I heard

02:32:08.080 had
02:32:10.080 it there some people
02:32:14.240 that there's really no such thing as

02:32:20.000 don't want to run the ball the next play
02:32:22.120 right absolutely and if that's your only
02:32:24.760 goal is to hit him so hard that he don't
02:32:27.080 want to be him no more you just out of
02:32:30.040 luck yeah you wasting your time there's
02:32:32.000 no no your coach can't help you there

02:32:41.439 gets to Mono IM Mano May the best man
02:32:44.160 win and if you've been living yourent
02:32:46.240 entire life trying to be the best man
02:32:48.240 that you can for yourself then you
02:32:50.760 should feel great about those
02:32:53.080 odds what do you think about Kanye rants
02:32:56.520 what's going on with Kanye from a
02:32:58.720 distance obviously I don't know how well
02:33:00.040 you know Kanye I don't know if you've
02:33:01.279 been around Kanye but from a distance
02:33:03.359 what what what what do you suspect is
02:33:04.800 going
02:33:07.160 on I suspect that we're pretty awful
02:33:11.080 people if we say that somebody got a
02:33:14.040 mental illness and then we watch what
02:33:16.800 they
02:33:19.359 do if you say somebody got special needs
02:33:22.800 then why would you be watching them and
02:33:24.520 holding them accountable like everybody
02:33:28.520 else wouldn't you grade them on a
02:33:32.279 curve when you
02:33:34.720 gooo this
02:33:36.800 guy because I mean what are we reacting
02:33:39.880 to what are we reacting to you're the
02:33:42.880 one that put him in a position where he
02:33:45.479 thought he was God and could call
02:33:47.160 himself ye and you the one told the guy
02:33:50.840 that writes Musical lyrics that he was a
02:33:53.439 genius you're the one that's like so
02:33:57.160 what what do you expect the guy married
02:33:59.319 a [ __ ] like what oh
02:34:02.439 Lord I didn't mean it like that I mean
02:34:04.880 married her because she was one now he
02:34:07.399 didn't know he understood that he wanted
02:34:11.399 that he courted that that's what he
02:34:14.479 wanted to base his got a good heart
02:34:18.439 though I know what you going to say
02:34:20.240 don't you say it cat don't you say it
02:34:23.560 I'm going move to if what I'm saying is
02:34:25.439 not correct then how do she end up with
02:34:27.160 Pete
02:34:30.479 Davidson I mean it happens all the and
02:34:33.040 what if you weren't even good enough for
02:34:34.720 Pete and he leaves you what do that mean
02:34:36.920 the product
02:34:39.240 was no I don't I don't support or
02:34:42.840 villainize Kanye because I don't
02:34:45.720 understand what it is we want from him I
02:34:49.800 I don't know why we look at a basketball
02:34:51.560 player and say he didn't score no hockey
02:34:53.760 goals this whole season he don't play
02:34:58.500 [Laughter]
02:35:00.600 hockey Kanye don't say nothing I can
02:35:03.520 agree
02:35:04.520 with okay I he was the weird guy in the
02:35:08.600 beginning with the pink sweaters when we
02:35:10.600 met him like what do you think moving to
02:35:13.399 a beat of your own drop this
02:35:16.760 this dude started a church and kept
02:35:18.600 cussing nobody in black church said
02:35:21.680 nothing you would have thought all the
02:35:23.399 pastors would have came you can't be no
02:35:25.720 gospel artist you just said [ __ ] that
02:35:28.920 [ __ ] nobody said nothing cuz TD Jak's
02:35:31.840 over there with be in it like come on
02:35:34.439 cat only the guy you had here has been
02:35:37.399 upfront and honest and a man of God and
02:35:40.160 humble and took the L's he had to take
02:35:43.040 and didn't I I did see it with was
02:35:46.120 trending though but I ain't know I I
02:35:47.600 don't I I ain't know why c i
02:35:51.840 don't let me go to this question right
02:35:53.800 here all people that love the truth got
02:35:55.479 to be happy if the truth coming out and
02:35:57.080 lies is getting exposed that's just what
02:35:58.920 time it is 2024 folks are you related to
02:36:01.920 uh
02:36:03.600 Luda no um so there was a Crossroads
02:36:07.319 where we were both
02:36:09.040 invited to an Illuminati thing and it
02:36:12.439 had to be one or the other of us and
02:36:15.080 decisions had to be made so it was both
02:36:17.200 of us we were equal one of us had to cut
02:36:20.080 off all their hair and couldn't do the
02:36:22.359 Sideburn thing no more with the points
02:36:25.319 and the next person they said was going
02:36:27.439 to get $200 million because they were
02:36:30.680 going to pay him 10 million a movie to
02:36:32.479 do 20 movies and that's how the
02:36:34.880 conversation happened one of those
02:36:37.319 persons turned out to be ludicrous and
02:36:39.200 the other person turned out to be Cat
02:36:41.120 Williams now one person ended up with a
02:36:44.279 light-skinned ugly faed wife that's
02:36:46.240 never done remember I told you that if I
02:36:48.439 say that it apply to seven people it's
02:36:51.120 part of what they give you okay I didn't
02:36:54.240 get it I'm not mad about it how much
02:36:57.600 money they
02:36:58.960 give 200
02:37:00.880 sir Fast and Furious is on what number
02:37:04.399 right now 10
02:37:08.399 more 200 million I might need get me one
02:37:10.520 of more women look look the
02:37:13.479 same that's what they all end up saying
02:37:15.640 that at the end of the day Kevin told
02:37:18.240 you he won't go wear no dress until they
02:37:20.120 offered him the dress and then he put it
02:37:21.760 on and what did he say after he wore it
02:37:24.359 I made my own decision duh but you
02:37:27.279 didn't make it before they brought it up
02:37:28.840 did you it's okay it's all right you
02:37:32.680 have a lot of politics never talk about
02:37:35.479 it I'm not that
02:37:39.479 controversial what where are we go where
02:37:41.560 are we head to cat uh this is sad this
02:37:44.279 we've never been here before
02:37:46.479 we've never been at the point where
02:37:48.600 neither option is good for us in real
02:37:51.399 life no this is a different conversation
02:37:53.920 this is would you rather go back with
02:37:55.800 your ex or would you rather go back with
02:37:58.359 the person before
02:38:00.439 them both bad option both bad options
02:38:03.600 like one guy one guy can barely put his
02:38:08.840 sentences together and the other
02:38:11.720 guy will put sentences together from
02:38:14.319 whatever he's read or whoever told him
02:38:17.479 like but how do we get how do we get
02:38:19.880 here how do we get here all division
02:38:23.279 divides there's no way around that all
02:38:25.960 division
02:38:27.200 divides um politics even in the
02:38:30.560 beginning when our constitution was
02:38:32.200 drawn up the the two parties was not
02:38:35.439 what they had in mind no they always
02:38:37.600 thought that it would be two main and
02:38:40.080 another independent party they always
02:38:42.640 assumed the Independent party would be
02:38:45.240 um just as strong as the
02:38:48.160 others a lot of that just didn't happen
02:38:50.800 and
02:38:51.800 um that's what I've learned more from
02:38:54.399 Comedy is that Republicans laugh at the
02:38:57.359 exact same thing that Democrats laugh
02:39:00.960 at as long as I'm talking to Democrats I
02:39:04.160 can make them laugh for one hour
02:39:05.840 straight about what Republicans do by
02:39:09.040 the same token I can go talk to
02:39:10.680 Republicans for one whole hour and have
02:39:13.040 them dying about the stuff that
02:39:15.080 Democrats do but at the end of the day
02:39:18.680 who does that yeah your team got a
02:39:21.439 offense and a defense they not supposed
02:39:23.680 to be enemies the enemy is the other
02:39:28.240 side well you can't do politics like
02:39:31.200 that nope it's not good for the country
02:39:33.920 man you see this Mark Zuckerberg
02:39:35.600 building this $270 million bunker if you
02:39:39.000 have a billion dollars we have learned
02:39:40.960 that you can do whatever you want to do
02:39:43.200 when Eli mus wants to send space things
02:39:46.200 in space you don't have to ask nobody's
02:39:47.880 permission Congress don't meet Senate
02:39:50.840 don't meet no Police Department got to
02:39:53.600 be warned he don't need a permit none of
02:39:56.720 that if you got a billion dollars you do
02:39:58.640 what you want to do and then you tell
02:40:00.040 them what you did hey and that's how it
02:40:02.359 go what he building the a $270 million
02:40:04.279 bunker what he know that we don't know
02:40:06.840 C Kim Jong
02:40:09.520 Un what I don't know what you don't know
02:40:13.080 do you understand that people that are
02:40:15.160 not very brigh are in charge of nuclear
02:40:18.439 bombs all across the country
02:40:20.920 mhm that's what he knows he knows that
02:40:25.840 30% of all weapons systems are running
02:40:29.240 off regular
02:40:31.640 Wi-Fi so what does that mean that means
02:40:34.160 if a solar flare or a meteor hits either
02:40:37.040 one of
02:40:38.560 those literally a bomb can go off just
02:40:43.439 because the system accidentally got
02:40:45.680 turned
02:40:47.160 off yeah that's what he
02:40:49.640 knows the the people that are in power
02:40:52.560 know that the people that are running
02:40:54.760 the most complicated and deadliest
02:40:57.479 things on the
02:41:00.920 planet are just an average
02:41:03.560 idiot and you know lots of idiots I do
02:41:07.120 yep and these these people are not
02:41:09.000 special back in the day they were yeah
02:41:11.840 not today not today you say you smoke a
02:41:15.319 little weed you ever smoke with
02:41:17.760 Snoop
02:41:19.439 yeah I'm actually a bigger smoker than
02:41:22.000 Snoop He he'll tell you that but I don't
02:41:24.800 like I don't mix anything with my weed I
02:41:27.479 just do weed right so no yeah nobody has
02:41:31.520 minimum I mean you nobody nobody has
02:41:33.760 nobody nobody does 20 blunts a day like
02:41:37.120 me for 30 years like like I was the
02:41:39.720 first person to have a weed roller like
02:41:41.640 somebody whose job it was like I haven't
02:41:44.279 I haven't rolled a blunt in 20 years
02:41:49.120 like if you go I'm saying I I prefer the
02:41:52.560 saliva of ladies oh my goodness no no
02:41:55.520 understand what I'm saying if for a
02:41:56.800 blunt it's necessary for it to get lit
02:41:59.479 right and so if you had spent 20 years
02:42:02.200 smoking with dudes that's a lot of male
02:42:06.160 saliva that you would have just
02:42:09.520 accidently ingested I I can't I can't be
02:42:13.680 this specimen on that it takes uh the
02:42:17.880 saliva of nice ladies on that but yeah
02:42:20.840 I'm a yeah that's all I do that's just
02:42:23.560 do you consider yourself a king of
02:42:25.720 comedy where where does no they they
02:42:28.520 consider that like like when after
02:42:31.000 Bernie left them same three guys I'm
02:42:34.240 telling you about the Kings yeah right
02:42:36.240 cuz DL is the greatest no DL slander
02:42:39.120 gets tolerated um but they came to me I
02:42:42.960 was supposed to be the fourth King I got
02:42:44.920 the offer then what happened but I
02:42:46.439 turned it down why because you [ __ ] on
02:42:50.479 Bernie and I know the truth you think
02:42:53.600 I'm let you [ __ ] on Bernie and then come
02:42:55.319 get me I'm the next king [ __ ]
02:42:58.880 you why because the whole time Bernie
02:43:01.200 was here you was acting like you was
02:43:02.520 funnier than him the reason you were
02:43:04.479 supposed to go last is cuz it was your
02:43:06.359 tour tell the truth it was Steve's tour
02:43:10.319 not it was gonna be called the Kings of
02:43:11.720 Comedy was Steve's tour these are the
02:43:13.800 guys opening for him of course you got
02:43:16.080 to close if it's your door that's why it
02:43:18.640 was such a big deal but you couldn't do
02:43:21.160 it cuz you can't beat the best and until
02:43:24.479 you humble yourself you will forever be
02:43:27.600 kinged by the
02:43:28.960 king and because you finally did it cuz
02:43:31.520 you didn't had no other choice and now
02:43:33.720 that he gone you going to act like he
02:43:35.800 wanted to be a movie star you stop it
02:43:39.680 you stop it that man was funnier than
02:43:41.760 all of y'all and y'all thought y'all had
02:43:43.760 one over on him you thought thought he
02:43:45.560 were black and ugly and you were
02:43:47.680 goodlooking and he couldn't make it cuz
02:43:50.000 you did and that ain't the way comedy
02:43:52.520 work the king is the
02:43:55.240 funniest period every time and that's
02:43:59.359 why no audience member was ever swayed
02:44:03.120 it didn't matter where Bernie went you
02:44:05.120 think if Bernie went first he wasn't the
02:44:07.520 king get out of here get out of here get
02:44:11.760 your ego out of this you let the best be
02:44:14.880 the best
02:44:15.920 right Cat Williams ladies and gentlemen
02:44:18.279 thanks for coming on bro I really
02:44:19.439 appreciate that thanks for sharing thank
02:44:21.479 you the stories setting the record
02:44:23.399 straight now you know they going to
02:44:24.880 double back
02:44:26.640 impossible impossible only because if
02:44:29.479 once you play this back you'll realize I
02:44:31.920 didn't say anything that made me look in
02:44:34.000 a good light I I wasn't tearing down
02:44:36.960 others to boost myself up I but I do
02:44:40.720 have to acknowledge things that did not
02:44:43.720 take place like we're very ingenuous if
02:44:47.200 we say this is not a game and we don't
02:44:49.640 play it and people ain't in positions
02:44:52.160 and people don't have their favorites
02:44:53.760 and they group and they click right well
02:44:56.160 that happens in all businesses we no no
02:44:59.920 say what side you want say why you don't
02:45:02.120 like the other side and then get to the
02:45:04.880 game but in the game I'm wiping the
02:45:07.960 field with them to the point where they
02:45:09.640 don't even compete anymore so how you
02:45:12.359 going to let a dude that been on the for
02:45:15.520 15
02:45:17.359 years I would have beat Jordan's ass
