Which one's mine? That's yours, brother. Unless you wanna cross tips. No? Last one to the airport buys breakfast. Buy breakfast. Day one, day one! ♪♪ What's up, brother? How you doing? We on? Yeah, we're on. We're going. I wanna start by saying, man, fuck 50 Cent. What the fuck? I don't give a fuck about 50, nigga. We going viral, nigga. Let's just start a beef. Yeah, you motherfucker, when I was in Queens, nigga, you didn't say nothing, did you? Didn't you wanna get on your little platform, your little 70 million platform and talk shit? I want all to smoke Tony Ayo. Who else I wanna give a fuck about? Uncle Murda, Tony Ayo. And find out, nigga, you wasn't even eating smoked duck, nigga. It was grilled duck, nigga. Stop playing. And you never went to Nelson Mandela's prison centers. And while we eating beef patties and -- and beef patties with cheese on the block, you not fucking with smoked duck. I want all the smoke. Oh, damn it. Well, 50's gonna cut off. And Ja Rule, too. Fuck Ja Rule, too. Nah, we'll get on board with that. Everybody, son. Yo, everybody. I'm saying fuck everybody two seconds later. Man, I wanna apologize to all the people that I said fuck you, too. I didn't mean that I was going through something. I saw a Matt Rife looking like it. I didn't know what the motherfucker was doing and shit. Nah, just tell them it was Ayo. The nigga got Matt Rife cheekbones, son. Yeah, that's -- that's a compliment. Nah, but I didn't mean that, but I did mean it. Wait, but you were on BMF, right? I was. Did you audition for that, or Five just give you that offer? I didn't audition for it. You know what's the interesting thing? Like, I've never aggressively pursued an acting career. You know what I'm saying? Most of the stuff I got, it's just been by chance. Like, I like him or something about him, and then you -- and then I get it. And then what I've really been good at is being able to -- the relationships I build with people, parlay that into something else. So, in the case with 50 with BMF, I had -- 50 did a sketch show. I don't know if you remember, years ago. Yeah, 50 Central. 50 Central. It was on BET. And they had this -- I was in this one skit or whatever. It was somewhat of a prank. They kept on telling me I had to wait downstairs for something. I was like, "This shit don't matter." I said, "Something's not right," right? And they was like, "Well, we got this car that's gonna come pick you up and take you around." I said, "This didn't add up." But I got in the back of the SUV, and then I got in the back, they put me in there and I looked, and it was 50. It was part of the sketch. Oh, that's hilarious. So, obviously, he knew something of me. I've been doing it long enough. He might have seen some work I do. But the real way I got there, Randy Huggins. Am I saying that right? Yeah, yeah, Randy Huggins, yeah. It was Randy Huggins and Tasha Smith. Like, the first thing, that first really big acting you ever got, there was, I guess, that people really saw as he's doing a little something. It was HBO's "The Corner" years ago. Charles Dunn directed that. Oh, Charles Dunn. Y'all probably was kids when it came out, but it wasn't, like, 30. Yeah, that was back in the 40s when you were coming up. All right, look, look, the old nigger jokes, I'm gonna do them, all right? No, you can't say that. And the fact that I said, "Nigger," and you laughed and didn't say, "You can't say that on this show," it's evil, son. You know what I mean? That was just, like, nigger approval, if you wanted to say. Adjacent? No, adjacent. Adjacent? Yeah, so, I was working on that project, and Tasha Smith is who's in a phenomenal, director, producer, writer, and everything. She was somewhat of my acting coach on that, so we always kept in touch with each other. She'd call me and congratulate me on some of the things I was doing, and I did the same thing. And I was, the crazy thing was, I was doing a show, "The Winning Time." Oh, yeah, the HBO one. The HBO joint, so I'm feeling like, "Oh, shit, I'm acting again," right? So, I'm doing, getting dressed or getting fitted for "The Winning Time," and I'm not answering my phone or whatever, 'cause I'm gonna, this is my thesmian voice, I'm gonna work on a project, and I don't know. - Yeah, a project, too. - Yeah, yeah. - Not if we're gonna do a show. - Yeah, yeah, a project. - I'm on a project. - So, I was hired to work on this project. I felt that the project was a great project to be a part of, and during the process of getting dressed and everything, my phone was ringing. I was like, "Uh, who could that be? "I don't have time. "I'm working on a project." Right? So, I saw a missed call, and it was Tasha, and like, you know how certain people call you, you know it's money or something, 'cause they don't just call you on no bullshit. - Just for no bullshit. - Happy birthday. Not to disgrace the relationship, but you know, when you talk, you're like, "Oh, is something popping?" So, I finally called her back, and then Tasha, first thing she said, "She's so sweet, and such a queen and beautiful woman, man, "and so eloquent in her words." And the first thing she said to me was, "Nigga, when I call, you pick up the phone." I was like, "Go, black queen, go." - So eloquent. - "Go, black queen." - So eloquent. - Right? And she was like, "Yo, I got this shit for you." You know, I didn't audition for it. So, you know, they look at the script and they're like, "Who we gonna do for this? "What we gonna do for this?" And she pitched my name to Randy, who I found out later was a fan of mine, 'cause he used to come check me out. And shout out to him, man. One of the biggest reasons BMF got as big as it was. He's having issues, but just wanna let you know, man, it's people to think about you and thank you. - Yeah, he's such a great guy. - Yeah, he's a great guy. And so, Randy was like, "Okay." She tossed a name. Randy was like, "Okay." And then Fit was like, "Okay." And the interesting thing about it, this is what I tell people, I'm not a mentor to acting or anything like that. You guys are in the business probably bigger than I am with it, pause. - Larger. A lot longer. - No homo. - Whoa! - Yo, man, I told you, man, I am going through, I'm a recovering homophobe, so don't trigger me, son. - We're not. - Please don't do it, son. - We're not. We love everyone here at the Crew Hazard Podcast. - I just stopped using the F word last week. Don't do this to me, son. - We love everyone here at the Crew Hazard Podcast. - You made me lose my thought, man. When I got that role, when I got that role, it was, that's why I always say, when you go on set, it don't matter how many words or whatever you get, you gotta go hard. - 100%. - You don't never know what it's gonna turn into. And for me, it was just one scene. - Yeah. - It was one scene. We did some, I did some good stuff, and then they brought me back the following season, and the following season, they had maybe like, two episodes for me. But then they just, every week, my agent was calling me, like, they wanna add this, they wanna add that. - That's literally what happened with me and Power. Me, originally, I was one scene in season five. They brought me back for a couple episodes of season six. - How long have you been doing this podcast? - We did it for three years while we were shooting. - So with that said, like, I was talking about myself. Is it always gonna be about you? - I'm just trying to say, digga, how much air time do you need, digga? - I know you've been talking for 45 years. - He walked in the building talking. - Yo, these YNs, or these YCs. I don't know what Y it is, but Y! - His young caucuses. - Can I use this platform, no. - But, you know, and it just turned into something else, and then that just turned into something. - That's fire. - And then they brought me back, and then, here's the funny thing. My last season, first off, for the people that follow BMF, I wasn't the bitch-ass digga that they portrayed me to be. - Yeah. - All right? And I was like, funny thing, I'm not a trained actor. - Mm-hmm. - You know what I'm saying? Everything I've got, it just be playing around, whatever. But Lamar, Kofi is a trained-- - I love Kofi. - He's a trained actor. - Yeah, he was locked the fuck in, wasn't he? - Yo, this motherfucker was coming to work at six o'clock, like he about to kill eight niggas. I'm like, "Nigga, we ain't even had coffee yet," right? Like, "Yo, yo, yo, yo, we ain't, I ain't even, "I'm just getting out of my car." He like, "Uh, uh, you can't stop me." Yo, I'm like, "Nigga." - He was messing with that shit. - Until they say action, and I always had the jokes. And it's so funny 'cause I'm used to just popping off like improv and shit, right? So every time he was, that character, he was my cousin, and like he would just be popping shit to me, right? - Yeah. - And my comedic instinct, every time he would fuck with me, I would say something back, right? I remember one time, I think it was one, a scene with him and his dog in a Salisbury Steaks or something, his dog was eating my Hungry Man dinner, whatever, and I roasted the shit out of this motherfucker, right, and I could hear people in the back, like, holding it there, right? And then they was like, "Cut!" And Randy was like, "You can't do that!" I'm like, "Why?" He said, "You can't talk to him like that." I said, "Well, look, I'm acting like I'm really in the scene." I'm like, "Well, tell that motherfucker "stop talking to me like that." Right? And I was like, "Why I can't talk like that?" He said, "Cause he woulda smashed your head and threw it." That's what that carried to us. - Yeah, the glamour to that. - And I don't really have no, I'd probably get more work if I took shit more serious. Even when they called me back, I didn't really, I was just so happy that they was bringing me back. So I hadn't really looked at the script like that. I'm like, "Nigga, I can do this shit in my trailer, right?" And I'm all happy as shit. I'm all happy, like, "Yo, I'm back." Oh, when they first told me I was coming back, this was in my mind, I was like, "Yeah, I knew they was gonna get us back together." Right? This time, I set this motherfucker up with coke and everything, right? - Yeah. - And I said, "They gonna bring us back together, and we gonna just take over, and we just gonna run the streets and everything." And I was saying, "But then why he won't kill you, D?" I said, "The only reason he won't kill me, 'cause it's my cousin. That's the only thing." This was what I was putting in my brain. He'll kill everybody. And then I was breaking down like this, 'cause he remember we was 13, and I loaned him some money. I'm doing a prequel/sequel show, in my brain, right? I'm like, "This is what's gonna happen, right? "We gonna get together." And man, it was. so funny because i was like yeah this is how i started looking at that script i was like oh she got real yeah you dead nigga but it's so funny because a lot of people know me from a lot of stuff i did on chapelle show right and the question i get a lot of time do you get tired of people calling you ashy larry and it's interesting because it does that character was so iconic it doesn't really matter what i do in my career it's gonna be ashy larry doing that shit when i was at spider-man 2 niggas was like yo you see ashy larry spider-man 2 yeah yo they said yo ashy larry got thrown in an incinerator it's like always gonna be that that that connection and i don't have any problem with it because in stand-up comedy it's so hard to be recognized or remembered by anything you know i'm saying if it's something that people can connect with because ultimately whether i do another uh serious role or anything i want people to connect to donnell just so they can come you me tell jokes yeah so if you go into a show and you're trying to say uh man i wonder if ashy larry is real funny real guess what you're gonna come and then you're gonna see me rip it up and then that's when you start doing the disconnect between ashy larry and donnell rawlings yeah so where did you meet dave and when did you start like did you get cast in chapelle show and then met dave or did you guys kind of do it all together like no we was like we was um um me and dave i don't want to say any competition but we both from dc right and he was probably like doing comedy maybe probably i'm older than him but he's got more time and great and um he probably was doing comedy about four years before i decided to do it and um when i started in dc i was on fire man like i was fucking shit up yeah you know and i'm not saying it because i'm making shit up anybody that knows me from when i was doing open mics they was like this dude had the trajectory for something that happened and i was like okay i'm gonna do this so i'm beating up the dc streets right and then um you know like dave was a dc comedy moved to new york and um when i was in dc i used to ask the um comics and the club owner this one particular club i was like yo who who a bad motherfucker from dc you know because i want to know i'm like this can i be as bad or whatever and um they were like dave chapelle right and i'm hating in a very nice way i don't fuck about no days but hey not very you know not no bad but you know he good yeah i'm like yeah then i'm like what's so bad about him he was like well he's young i'm like nigga i ain't got shit to do with that i can't change none of that shit they're like he's young uh he's like a natural actor his comedy is smart he acts out everything and they were saying all this good shit about him and then and i was like man fuck dave chapelle not in a bad way just like just fuck competitive yeah yeah and um on my 50th birthday i'm over here this was some years ago um chris spencer asked dave he said uh uh how did you and donnell meet and then dave said i'll tell you how we met he said and he almost repeated the story that he said when when he was popping in new york he used to go to dc and he will alley ask the club like who popping around here anyway and it was like it will always be dave said it'll always be the usual suspects andy evans uh tony woods uh fat doctor these guys of my generation and he said but they would be like but there's this one dude young guy named donnell rawlins and dave would look at her and be like man fuck donnell so we we had just uh like dc small city so anybody that left just say i'm gonna go for it if they went to back then it wasn't it was like either you went to new york or la so anybody i mean we used to throw parties i'm about to leave i'm gonna follow this dream so anybody that would relocate when you went to that city of whether it was la or new york you connected with the guys from your hometown right so we would always see each other in passing we didn't we weren't really like we weren't best buddies or anything like that but we both had a mutual respect for each other right you know and that kind of led to um my relation not real well neil brennan who was a co-director and everything with the chapelle show and dave and neil had did half-baked and um and neil had sold like three scripts to hollywood but his shit wasn't getting the green light so he wanted to uh dabble into directing and stuff but he had no experience so he wrote this one man short that he remembered me from being on the circuit and he asked my manager you think donnell will help me with this and at the time i was i thought i was popping i was on hbo's the corner i was the only black comic from that circuit of bt def jam was doing dramatic stuff like that so i was a little on myself i was like well i know you can't afford to pay me but um if you're ever in the situation where you could throw me a bone i mean well let's see if i can get on the project i didn't even know neil was already rich yeah he was rich bitch before i even said it right and um he was like okay and sometime after that i did that for him he called me and i still didn't really take it that seriously he said i'm working on something i might have something for you and then i was like what's the name of the show he's like we don't have no no he don't want you don't have a name of show cut to a couple months after that the show was um the chapelle show and people want to believe just because me and dave were friends and we're from dc that was my connection but dave had to prove everything but neil was the person that really saw something in me and he really believed in me and with that said when he put me in a game with that that show it was no cast yeah you know it was like you was only as good as your last scene yeah and that's why going back to what i was saying earlier that's why every if you really watch the chapelle show you had an editor put down how much how much times i spoke on the timeline out of two and a half seasons it would probably be take up five minutes of the timeline yeah i didn't talk a lot yeah but i told myself yo whatever you do you got to be funny on site anytime that camera went to me on that show it was instant laughs yeah so that's what was my that was what my relationship was with the chapelle show and it's interesting because you know people i do these podcasts a lot and a lot of people like um watch they're gonna ask him about dave and and what has he done since chapelle show and if it wasn't for dave and i tell motherfuckers it's easy for you to google me right all right right my imd is public knowledge right and what you'll see that you'll see a point in time where this motherfucker was cooking and then he just so happened to be a part of one of the greatest shows in the history of television right and i'm never and i'm just telling you i'll say this all the time i've never wanted to compete with that i never wanted to be like well i'm going to create something that's better than that because why am why do i need to be so aggressive about uh recreating history and i already did it right whatever comes whatever came before that which was good shit for me or after that it's gonna it's not gonna just be because that show and i tell people what the chapelle show did for me was dave and neil and common central gave me a platform to do what i was born to do right i mean people think it's in the gym yep motherfuckers in the gym you know there's so many motherfuckers in the d-league right now to come and smoke but now you got this person getting 50 million whatever they can't come up but when you call that motherfucker off the bench what did he do why was i on the chapelle show as long as i was because when i got in the game i scored right that's that yep when when you started comedy did you like feel this is my my shit i got this or did you like bomb a lot like i didn't bomb for a very very long time in fact the first time i ever the the the the interesting thing is the way i never thought i was going to do stand-up the way i got introduced to it i had a a regular job and i used to go to this comedy club and as just like we used to get free tickets to go to this comedy club where i worked and i would go heckle the comedians right and i was so fucking bad people started coming to the show just to hear me heckle really yeah you know my credit was asshole the asshole nigga for the side of the stage right and and i got so good at heckling the club wanted me to do it and i got so good at heckling the club wanted me to shut up they dared me go on stage i thought about it for about a week i went up and then the first time i ever went on stage i could have stand no wow and i don't think it was so much that i was super right or had the best jokes i think that audience that watched me go from heckling heckling they caught some people rooted for me some people some people didn't but they want to be like yo you did all you could do in the chair motherfucker and when i went up there and there was that moment i knew i was gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like yeah this is what i'm gonna be doing forever how old how long were you like how long were you a heckler in the crowd until you they was like i get the fuck on stage um i probably was like about two or three months it just happened two or three months and then um i did it and i just was like i was i was on it man i just every second every day all i wanted to do was work on jokes and shit even when i didn't have an audience in a way when i didn't have a show or nothing what i used to do is i used to call someone and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i'm gonna do it at work right and i would just start a casual conversation i knew that some of the premises and things i want to talk about was in that conversation and this one i knew a joke was ready to go or ready to go on stage when i'm having a conversation like this and then motherfuckers be like this man you should do that on stage i'm like ding ding ding ding i'm already playing that's what that was what that was but it took me a while of course of course i took some hits i'm not gonna sit up here and say i never bombed anything like that but i don't like to use that word bomb i would like i'd rather say uh i had a show it wasn't as good as the last show right - Right, right, right. - But bombing is a ugly, ugly word. - Yeah. - Ugly word. - It sound like you like ruined your whole career when you say bomb. - It just don't, I broke up with a girl 'cause she told me I bombed. She was like, "You bombed?" I was like, "Bitch, I don't be bombing." - Did you bomb that show though? - I had a show that wasn't as good as the last show. That's what I did. - He's media trained well. - But no, wait a minute, but wait a minute. But after I did that, I started thinking maybe I bombed. 'Cause I had another show and she stared at me and said, "You bombed again." I was like, "This shit ain't gonna work, bitch. "It ain't gonna work." You don't got the support that I need. - Yeah. - But I will say, if I bombed, I'd never bombed the same way. - Yeah. - I learned my lesson. That's why I don't see motherfuckers out here that be bombing the same way. I'm like, "Quit." - Like if it ain't work the first time, it's not gonna work the second time. - I just always was really, really passionate about it. I've been doing this for over 30 years. And I say-- - Wow. - Still. - I'm just saying, it's like you're a veteran. - Yo, we about to have a Kevin Hart, Don Cheadle moment right there, nigga. - No, I'm just saying, we had to say wow. - I'm just saying you're a veteran. - You deep-throated that wow, too. - No, I'm just saying you're a veteran of the game. - You said wow. - 30 years old. - Yo, that's older than I've been alive. You've been doing stand-up. - I fucking said that early in the goddamn show. - I know, but I just wanna reiterate. I just wanna let people know you're a veteran. - You don't gotta reiterate. I'm an old nigga. Goddamn. I hate these hairline motherfuckers, man. - I can't wait until you start wearing your baseball cap, son. It's coming. It's five years, and you're gonna start with this shit right here. - I'm going to Turkey before that, brother. - You're gonna do that shit. - I'm going to Turkey before that. - Yeah, but you know. - But did you move to LA or New York first? - New York. - And how'd you like that? - I really enjoyed New York. I probably would've never moved to LA. When I was in New York, the reason I came to LA, because my shit was popping, then it started slowing down. I wasn't getting that much road work, so I was like, fuck it. If I'm gonna be, no, I wasn't, I wasn't getting a lot of road work. So I was like, if I'm not getting a lot of road work, I might as well go to LA and try to be a TV movie guy. - Were you opening up for people on the road, or were you just doing your own shows? - No, I was too young to be, it was a combination. Like, places that, where you just had like, needed minimal credits or whatever, I would get shit like that. But I'm not, I don't really open for anybody other than like, like huge names. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You know, so it was a combination of both of that. So when I, when I moved to LA, right when I moved to LA, my personal appearances started picking up. So I went, I moved to LA and then I became a road comic. And I never, like I said, never really pursued acting like that. I was like, I don't care where the money comes from. It could be on the road, it could be on a TV show. The thing that's most accessible to me right now is working on the road. I'm not gonna be in LA waiting tables and shit, waiting for that big break, when I can go get my money on the road. So that's what that was. And then I kinda settled with, I'm like, still mixed feelings about LA. LA is a lot different now than when I first started. When I first started LA, it felt like something could happen. It felt like that director might be in the audience, that producer, and you had to be in New York or LA. But now with having all these platforms for people to see you, you can live wherever you want. That's why, right now I split my time between Yellow Springs, Ohio and LA. - Oh, damn. Oh, because that's the, you do, you guys do the shows there, right? - We started doing these, they call it summer camp shows. It was created during a pandemic when, you know, everything had to be outside if you even tried that. So we started that maybe like four years ago. But I had been going off and on to Yellow Springs to kick it with Dave, but it was the pandemic that really, really made me really kinda mentally detach from LA. I'm like, fuck am I doing spending all of this money and everything in LA? - Yeah. - When all the opportunities that I want, I could have anywhere else. And that was proven, especially in comedy. If you look at what, like what Joe Rogan did in Austin, like you see like a lot of people, they was like, we ain't gotta be in LA. I can go somewhere else, get a better quality of life, get more bang for my buck, have more peace, and don't have to deal with just Hollywood shit. - Are you married? - No, I'm not married. - He's not making this easy for me to move in, but I ain't gonna lie. - I know, I've been trying to get him to move out here. - Move to LA? - Yeah. - For what? - The parties, the ladies, the girls. I almost said hoes, but I stopped myself. I said the girls. - All right, nigga. You only one pill away from being at a Diddy party, nigga. - Nah, I'm G-Unit. - You one pill for baby oil. - I can't do it. - You one pill for baby oil, son. - I'm G-Unit, I can't be at any Diddy party. - It's a price. - They gonna throw you in a van. - It's a price? - You got a price. - I don't got a price. - You got a price. - 10 mil. - You got a price. - No, no, no. - I don't got a price, because behind the scenes, you and your white comrades was having this conversation off the record. - Once you start saying white comrades, you start getting into murky territory. - Comrades, for peak sakes, listen to me. Y'all had that conversation about what you do for a role in a movie, and that's what I didn't want us to come to, the Hollywood shit. - Don, I was making this shit up right now. - All right. - Wait, so you're not married? - No, I'm not. - Are you on the dating apps, or what are you doing? - I don't do dating apps. - You do Match.com, like the whole punk shit? - No, I'm seeing somebody. - Christian Domingo and shit? - Nice. - Nah. - And how's it been? - It's been great. - Nice. - I'm having a good time. - Nice. - Yeah. - She supportive? - Yeah. - She don't have to be supportive. She just need to fuck me and shut the fuck up. I've dated enough women to support me. I don't want no support. - So you spend more time in-- - No, no, I'm just joking. - Yeah, we know, we know, we know, yeah. This is all jokes. We got Donnell on here. We're having some fun. - Come on, for peak sakes. - Yeah, you don't like white people, huh? That's what it is. What did I ever do to you? - I don't, I don't, I don't. How do I answer that? I'll let me tell you, I don't wanna wait. - Now this is gonna seem-- - It's some truth to that. - Yeah, okay. - White men, eh. - White men. - White bitches, that's a whole different story. - Wait, you-- - I'm sorry, Dr. Umar, nigga. I got, we in Hollywood, nigga. What the fuck I supposed to do? - Have you dated white women before? - Oh yeah, I dated a white woman when I was living in Ohio and I don't think this bitch thought I could read because, you know, the reason why I'm saying that 'cause this bitch was putting all type of Hobby Lobby signs up and shit, you know that? - Yeah. - Live, love, laugh and shit. - Yeah, oh hell no. - I'm like, bitch, I can read, I don't need this shit. - She got like pantry over the pantry. - Everything, she got a bathroom on the back. - Every holiday, I knew, fucking doing Halloween, Halloween shit. - Yeah, but that's kinda nice sometimes, right? - It was cool until she celebrated 4th of July, right? 4th of July, I feel like my house was magga like a motherfucker, all type of red, white, blue flags and shit. Budweiser's everywhere, I was like, nah, we can't do this shit. - And that was it? - Yep, that was it. - You like dating black women better? - No, I mean, I like dating, this is the comment from a guy that's dated white women. I believe in love. - Right. - No matter what the color is. - Right. - Yeah. - You love who you love. - Right. - Man, man, can I say something? - You've been talking the whole time, you can keep going, brother, it's all good. Whatever you want. - And I've been asked this question, what is it? 'Cause this was y'all, they don't know white women, they call y'all pink toes, they call y'all snow bunnies, and a queen asked me once, she said, "What is it about these pink toes "that you were so excited about?" And I'll be honest, I've said it on stage, but never on this platform. The first time I heard a white woman say this sentence, "I want to suck your big black cock." - Nick, I-- - Yo, we right here, son, I didn't even know I had a big, black cock. I was like, that's what it is, get busy. And that's when I was off to the farmer's market. - I think that, yeah, I think that's what I'm missing in life. - It was that easy, it was that easy. - It was parsnips, it was parsnips, parsnips and artichoke hearts. Artichoke hearts, nigga. Can you add some more raisins to that potato salad, please? That's the story of my life. - I think that's what I'm missing in life, is just someone saying that to me one time, just once. Even if we were role-playing, right? - Even if she was lying? - Yeah, even if she was lying. - If she was lying, you know? - They'll do it. - You think so? - Yeah, just tell 'em role-play. You do role-play? - I feel like it's funny, like, I'm an actor, I feel like I would, but like, I'm too, it's uncomfortable for me. Like, I'm like, I don't know, it's just like-- - Feels like you're filming a sex scene. - Yeah, I'm just like, I do this at work, I don't need to do this during sex, just like-- - I've participated with role-play, you know what I play? - What? - Plantation. - Oh, my God! - I'm for all the white women out here listening, do you know how hard you get fucked if motherfuckers are fucking you for freedom? - I'll wait. - You say, if a nigga's doing it for his ancestors, it's crazy. - Freedom niggas is a whole different shit. You got coke dick, crackhead dick, but freedom? Freeing your entire family? Getting close to your 40 acres of the mule? - That's a fucking fuck. - All right, so you moved to LA. - Yeah. - And do you start going to the mix, are you going to parties, are you having a good time? 'Cause you're still young at that point. - Yeah. - What? - I'm just saying, you were young when you moved to LA. - You know what?

successful child that doesn't count why does not count i don't make you the best you the best kid because you're the most successful 100 you know what i gotta kind of agree with you on that that's what i'm saying this is why i tell you because i have a brother right when i grew up i wasn't that's my brother right there yeah yeah he bombs he does comedy he bombs a lot i know he reminded me of one time he bombed he really no he didn't but he said you remember me i was like you must have bombed because i don't remember oh man damn it nah um damn what was i saying son it's that memory is getting away from you um what's the what were we saying i forget what you were saying actually getting away from you too oh you're saying that your brother what about being about being my brother was like when i was growing up like for some reason in a black household you couldn't have two smart kids right that was just some shit it's just like it was it was like the smart one and then i was the dumb one by default right just because my brother my brother went to brown university georgetown law 93 percentile on an lsat like uh damn what does he do now uh he's a little boy he's a little boy he's a little boy he's a little lawyer it's contractual lawyer but here's the thing so everybody was like oh first one to graduate lawyer and everything and then he was all like yeah i'm the lawyer lawyer lawyer right and then i used to be a part of this show called guy code some years ago on mtv yeah mtv did a spinoff it was called guy court and i was a judge of that show man i couldn't wait to get a thanksgiving dinner like yo you're a lawyer bitch i'm a whole judge something to be talking about right and i had one season they canceled that shit the first season and i had to humble myself okay i'm back to being a dumb one yeah he was a judge though yeah does he love what you do like does he pull up to shows and like all that stuff or my brother yeah yeah whenever i'm i'm close to dc um or whatever like yeah he does my entire family is um supportive of what of supportive of what i'm doing and it's interesting because you know there's people in my family that are successful that's doing good things but i don't know if there's something about my story was that you know this motherfucker said this is what i want to do and i'm not going to stop until i get a level of success to continue to do it so i think that my family respects that yeah you know and and that was like i'm successful now whatever your definition of it but it wasn't always like that i tell people all the time if you want to get an entertainment if you don't figure out a way to be happy being broke don't do this yeah because you're gonna be broke it's different now you know you young guys y'all getting money a lot faster you know fuck you all right but go on no worries but um but if you're not prepared or can deal with that then um don't do this yeah and the people that get the most success out of this are people like even when it's tough even when it's fucked up you know it you enjoy you like this uh something's gonna it's gonna be next level yeah i could i literally couldn't picture doing anything else like that i think this is like the most fun thing in the world i think that's kind of why we started this is like it's just another facet to like a like yeah i make money but like b just like have fun like and c you like to hear yourself talk you just talked for 87 minutes like you just you start you walked in here we didn't even introduce yet and he you're you're talking the second

aggressive this is the interesting thing and this is why i told you and this is what i said to my first story i was like please don't let them fuck you and do you ever feel like that and just think no i don't think so you with the questions you asked me you said so somebody called me and i was like what's going on and i was like i don't know what's going on and i was like i don't know what's going

i wanted to learn about you and you're and you're and you're just it's been 30 minutes of you talking about fucking my mother and at this point it's a little rude but way more interesting way more interested people could be like fucking make you tony what about your mom they don't give a fuck about me we got some i'm trying to turn right i completely i don't want the people at home to think i'm offended i love this this is awesome my mom may not love it she watches every podcast she calls me after every episode she's like that i love that guest i don't think she's gonna do that about this one what's her name i can't do that we'll find i'll find it it's kathy kathy okay what do you think what what's her nickname with the kate it's with the k is her nickname k yeah it's just k okay but what does okay mean if you i feel like you're thinking about something i'm just trying to think of another nickname okay so you moved to la you got the wheel spinning up there right now no i'm just trying to think of another nickname i'm just trying to think of another nickname i didn't start why you yo i'm like this okay okay no i'll figure out something no i didn't move to la and start comedy i started comedy in new york yeah i moved to la to try to pursue film and television career then i started doing more road stuff so i really haven't really i've never been in la like i gotta get this audition and so and so yeah in fact i know my um agents get a little frustrated with me because i don't get excited about a lot of stuff right and i look at it like this i do well for myself as a stand-up and the interesting thing that i've been doing this long enough that um like i do shows and stuff and people come up to me and they're like man i grew up watching you as a kid right and these are grown men were like kids now i'm like damn how long i've been doing this i'm talking about these guys like 35 they've been knowing me for a while now they're in positions where you see what la is they directing they writing in a position and i'm like there's got to be a group of people that are going to be in the position but i'll do that are fans of mine right that want to say oh man i used to watch you and everything and you're right for this part like i'm not a good auditioner i'm just i'm i'm i'm i'm fucking suck at auditions me too but if i get that's the hardest thing to do is get them to see past that and know what your potential is so lately it's just been the work i've been getting it's been when people like this this is the only guy i want to do this right and if i don't i'm not desperate to get any acting work to pay any bills so if that monkey was on my back i would probably take a lot more serious like i need this to take care of this but i'm comfortable with my stand-up career um acting to me it's just fun and passionate and like i i when i act i really have fun right you know i'm having a good time and i'm also i continue to learn i can learn from everybody i learn from some of the most seasoned people that have been doing it for years and i learn from some of the young guns don't um the hungry ones so yeah you know what what does excite you the most like career-wise like if you wake up the thing that excites me the most please don't donnell kathy close your ears kathy hey come on stop me tell me stop yo why y'all gonna jump me son what the fuck is going on i need security nigga yo why are you stepping to the camera like that it's enough son you'll ever you'll never never open for me again you'll never never not work in this town again i'm sorry kathy it's a fucking joke google me i'm a goddamn comedian i'm crying but what excites me yeah please what excites me is um making my son my 10 year old son that's old enough to be my grandson making him the best person he could be oh yeah showing him life being present in his life and and making lifetime memories with him yeah this comedy thing whatever it's like it's a it's it's fun right but you know when i had this kid and i had him later in life the question people always ask you when you have a kid they'd be like do you think it makes you more focused i've always been focused but i was focused with different lenses yeah at the beginning i've always been focused but i've been a wide lens but now with my son i got that lens with the red ring that detail joint and i really know what my true purpose is and that's just to make him the best person that i that i can be does he understand what you do and like comedy and yeah he does does he like it or does he think yeah he likes it but it's like he's slightly curious about it but it's kind of it's intimidating to him too because lately we've been talking about it and like he'd tell his mom he's like i really i really want to do the act and comedy stuff but he's like i really want to do the acting stuff he's like i really want to do it and he's like i'll never be as i'll never be as good as dad and i told him one day i was like you're right but you do look better than me yeah yeah you know but yeah it's not hard but yeah but the thing is yeah i don't think it would be almost impossible for him to not look better than you at this point no he's like i'm first off i'll tell you straight up i am not a handsome guy yep i was on a podcast you're right kathy thanks to different but i was on the podcast and uh and i was talking about it i said uh i said i'm i'm not a i'm not i said i've never been that dude you walk in the room with girls like oh he could get it i was never to get a guy yeah you gotta make him laugh i was the funny dude yeah and i said that on this podcast and in his other park this i won't even say his name but this is a funny story so this other community was mad at me about something i said and he said yeah you know you only um you get pussy off of the car off of the comedy that's the only way you get pussy off the comedy i'm like why do you think i wanted to be a comedian kathy you answered the question i'm just saying why okay i won't do it no it's fine it's fine it's fine i'm like why like you've already broken my heart enough it's fine no that's all good these are all jokes oh fuck wait can we i actually legitimately have been um because i i i'm from rhode island so matt rife bought a house over there i just bought a house over there i just bought a house over there i just bought a house I know, I just saw that somewhere he brought up some ranch or some shit. I went to it. It's dope. We want to come to an Ohio show. How do we make that work? Just call me. And we can pull up to a show. You know how you get to the show? It's simple. How? Kathy. I knew it was coming. No, I'm just saying. No, just let me know. I like when people come out there and experience it. Yeah, because I know people stay there, and it's like this whole event thing. We want to go do that. Yeah, but I want to say this. I mean, we have those shows, but it's something that I do in Ohio. It's been for like, this will be the sixth year. It's called Donnell Land, and basically it's a weekend of. just family oriented stuff you know i mean for all ages all walks of life we have we do like a a celebrity kickball game we do nature walk we do sound bath we do like a river a river run um fucking white we just i know it is there's a lot of what is that what i've never even heard it's a meditation where you like lay down and you're supposed to put you in tune you do it where you do the thing yeah okay okay but we do this it's comedy it's like kickball is canoeing um we uh sunday fun day and last year i started a a flag football game in honor of my son it's called the austin bowl but that's that's usually right before dave kicks off the summer series so you know just hit me up and yeah it'd be cool to come out there it's a good time you do it during summer yeah yeah i mean he is shipping a lot of people out to the woods in ohio sounds kind of dittyish sounds like he's doing it and not me we don't have baby oil we don't have they just make this and we don't have baby is it is there anything that you want to do in the um like anything that you want to do in your career that you haven't done or like is there any fight like goals like i feel like you know um what's the dude from made men um crazy dude madman john ham john ham yeah i was just working with dave we did a show during um super bowl um at the chase center whatever yeah then we had a show in a smaller venue and john he used to come out he came he would come out to the yellow springs and had a good time and he was in the room and i had just slayed this audience he was like down there what is it that you really want to do like what are you what is the film is it tv what did you really want to do i say i'm already doing what i really want to do that's what i'm saying to be able to like whether however you want to gauge somebody's level of success whether it's like how many movies film how much money whatever it is you like what we do is like and when i say we you don't do stand-up or whatever but we in this field where we do whatever we want to do right we found everybody has a god-given talent but will you be able to identify where they make it work i was lucky enough to find out what that talent was i create a good life for my family for my friends i create opportunities for my friends stuff so i don't need anything else right you know what i'm saying everything else is a bonus right you know that must be such an awesome feeling to arrive at yeah yeah i know he was he focused on fatherhood yeah he focused on fatherhood yeah how's touring for you do you like you like touring or are you kind of like do you like being on the road or would you i like it because that's where my money is yeah you know i um it's like right now my um son is at a very impressionable age you know where i need to be around as much as i can but i do have to leave so sometimes that could get kind of like you know that'll take its toll yeah but i've made a rule i don't really like to be like um away from him more than like seven or eight years i don't really like to be like um away from him more than like seven or eight years i don't really like to be like um away from him more than like seven or eight years i don't really like to be like um away from him more than like seven or eight days unless i don't say what's the longest it's been like the longest it's been it was like two and a half weeks i did a australian tour with dave okay okay you know but it was like there's nothing i could do about it but it was so it's funny because he was well he's young now but his mom used to always try to make it a sad situation when i left she would be like mom daddy's leaving yeah i'm like i ain't going to jail yeah i'm coming back coming back yeah daddy's leaving us again yeah because daddy needs to pay the bills yeah right and and he would be like oh and i told her i said don't tell him that then but our thing our pack was yeah he's like daddy's leaving but guess what austin daddy always comes back right and he's like and he's gonna say like daddy leave outside but what's the rule he's like daddy always comes back and i'm like yeah he's gonna be tough as and i remember one time i was leaving and i was like austin i'm leaving and he was like he was like okay dad they can't even look at me he's like all right later he was like okay i was like daddy's leaving yeah he's like hi he's like all right i said austin you don't care today he said daddy it's okay you leave because daddy leave but he always come back so i was like that's a beautiful thing do you spoil him a lot you get him a lot of stuff for like oh man i get that everything yeah he got a dad and a granddad in the same yeah so he'd be one of the craziest stuff like like gaming pcs and all that no he don't have anything but that roblox budget oh he probably got a little robux i'm like damn he probably stacked in the roblox account i'm like this who the is amazon i'm like all this or that apple apple apple but he's not really into no no crazy yeah you know like he just it's interesting because he's making a transition now right he's he went from like all he used to want was like sonic sneakers and everything right and i'm like man he would never get no with them yeah the light up ones yo the light up two crocs i was like oh man he gonna be gay right no i'm just joking with that part but it's interesting yeah that he yo i was a proud dad yo two weeks ago he said daddy i want some joy hell yeah oh yeah he's gonna get this yo he said well some joys but the funny thing about it i'm pretty sure the kids in the schools were talking that's a lot of white kids right hell yeah and he was like i want some jays but i was like you don't even know man i've been buying father's son jay's i got boxes yeah of jordan's that he never wore yeah because he wasn't with it he don't even know he got a collection already that's awesome but it's just interesting to see him go like from this he's still young but this little kid like sonic and used to run like sonic now he's in the um into basketball and being cool again the nonchalant his hair a certain way yeah you gotta you gotta get over that hump and then and then get there eventually yeah yeah what's your uh are you like a pto dad like what's donnell showing up to like the school like are you telling the teachers you want to bang them like clearly you're doing it on this podcast so i'm curious if you're doing that at a school no i'm not telling that i just like i'm involved with the school they like me they know i'm funny and like it's so interesting because this year they do it they do a comedy fundraiser they just know they'll get you to perform no they know that i mean they they know that like i'm i'm doing all the fundraisers whatever i can do i was a little upset about one for fundraiser because it was they were selling watermelon it was a white school it was a white school so it's a little sensitive yo it could have sold apples and shoes i was like out of everything watermelon yeah yeah right and they was looking at me like i was going to try to steal extra pieces and but i'm going to be brought extra for you donald i'm going to tell you boy the most notorious gang in l.a is the pta they serious yeah they had but didn't the watermelon because his school is like everybody go to school they got money with that right these kids was coming to school with 20 for watermelon we were selling little cups of watermelon like this for ten dollars i wasn't even that expensive at whole foods i was like comedy i'm about to sell watermelons they got you that's how but i'm involved with it the teachers they they cool with me yeah um it's just you know i'm
