No. I ain't going to cap you down. Yeah, I did not catch nothing about the Grammys. How about your first Grammys? First one you went to. Let's talk about that. My first Grammys, man, I don't even remember. I think Urban Legend probably. Okay. My first Grammy, if I ain't mistaken. We was nominated for You Don't Know Me, if I'm not mistaken. When everybody thought we'd be nominated for Bring Him Out, you know what I mean? But You Don't Know Me is the one that made it to the nomination. Didn't win, but that was my first trip there. Yeah, I was in that thing. So, what has been catching your interest lately since you missed the Grammys? Well, I see you. You're a lovely wife. Y'all looking real golfy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I was with Keith. I noticed that when you got his song and you abandoned us, you left us. You didn't bring us back. I didn't bring us back. I'm trying to introduce all of us. They know who we is. I'm trying to take a drink of water. You introducing us. Like, now, you know who we is. You probably true, but I used to have. That I used to have. That I used to have. My former business associate. You ain't even going to have no gun. Turn around and call the cab. You ain't going to have no gun. Man. Can't nothing about no big time. I'm tired now. Tired. Go to sleep. Maybe right now. You old, man. Turn him up. Let him know. Riding for the cab on my lap. Lock him up, man. Lock him up. Y'all heard me. Lock him up. Lock him up. Hey. I figured this is the way y'all would have wanted it, man. This is definitely the way I want it. Oh, man. It's like the scene in Godfather, man. They about to take us out. Man. I've been chewing it up. As soon as he go, he going to leave us. He going to leave us. When I seen the haircut, because you know we seen the haircut before the movie. I saw the haircut. I said, he gone. I said, he gone, bro. Y'all seen him with the hat or without the hat? He had the hat on. I've seen him without the hat. When I seen him, he was walking like Roger Grenivere Smith. When I seen him, I said, the king is back. I'm going to get me a little OnlyFans. Oh, man. I'm telling Josie, showing chicks at the same time. Hey, let me tell you something. I will pay you to not get on that show. What? Why not? There's somebody out there want to see this shit. I know a few people. He ain't got no Wi-Fi, though. My Wi-Fi been acting up lately. I ain't going to lie. I shoot you a couple dollars, but I ain't going to be on there. Somebody said that the opening of The Grinch That Stole Bitches. Oh, no. Please don't talk about that. I got to. You didn't see the opening of The Grinch That Stole Bitches? Anybody? Anybody? I think. Erica has a movie. It's like one of the top ones. It's right up on the departments. You make sure. You go see that now. It sure is. Departments on TV. Yeah. The Grinch That Stole Bitches. And Eve, tell them what you did, Eve. I was helping the Grinch. That's all I was doing. Helping him how? Damn. He was stealing bitches. And what you were doing? I was on his side. And what you was doing, Eve? I know what you're trying to go. Was it worse than what you were doing? Tyler, was it worse than what you did in the movie? Yes. A hundred times worse. It's a hundred times worse than that? First of all, I didn't think this movie was going to make it. I didn't think this movie was going to make it anyway. Them be the ones. I don't know who they are. They go. So that's why I was just so active in the part there. I can't believe. I looked at it myself and I was just like, oh my God. Just tell them what you did, bro. They can make me want to go see it. Please. I think they took it down. I'm going to tell y'all, but I'm going to let them see it. All right. It's still out there. I don't know. I need to go get the phone. I got my phone out, man. But back to the tip at the Grammy. I need the DVD of that. For real. I need that on a physical copy. So the Grammy, what was everybody's problem with my ensemble? They had an issue? I didn't follow. What happened? It wasn't no problem. You talking about with the shots? Yeah. The shots in the sky? Oh, I know what they're talking about, but I don't know if I should say it. What? What is it? Because, you know, over the years, bro, I don't know who your designer is. I don't know your style yourself, but it's like certain pants that you wear. It's like. I don't understand what you're talking about. What are you talking about, Bull Rock? Don't spit it out, Bull Rock. That's the only thing. What are you talking about? That's the only stuff I've seen. But other than that, I've seen nothing but good stuff. Yeah. Well, now, I decided to go cash. I decided to go casual, man. Yeah. I was just there, man, to enjoy myself. I kind of came as a guest. I wasn't there, you know, like I wasn't going to perform. I wasn't, you know, I was really just scoping my seat for next year. But you were nominated. I thought you were nominated for the gospel thing. I was nominated. Thanks to Lecrae, Killer Mike, we were nominated. That award happened earlier in the day. So by the time I got there, you know what I'm saying? I was, you know, I was just chilling. I was just chilling, man. But I was saying that because I know you been there. You played golf and stuff like that. Yeah. I like to. Did I say shit about your fit? Well, they say Calamala. Oh, okay. What's that? Yola? Calamala. Let me see. What'd they say? You know what it do? Calamala. Calamala. Canary? Yeah, Canary. Canary. Canary. And they try to say Calamari-ella. Calamari-ella. What'd they say? I got you, E. I swear to God, I love you. I love you so much. Canamala. Canamala. Now, I remember when they was on you for a minute, though, they say you dressed like you was in the WNBA. That shit they had. You had, like, the vest and shit on. They kept getting you. What vest? It was a while back, man. Hey, man. Oh, no. It was on your ass, man. It's all right. It's all right. Oh, yeah. You had the braids to the back like a stud. Yeah, man. Yeah, you were looking like a stud, bro. Y'all were ripping this shit, bro. They mommas left it. Yeah. You ain't lying about that. Y'all ain't seen nothing about the Grammy shit, though. No, they just did. No, everything they did. You know, it was just the thought of me being underdressed. Oh, copy that. But they don't understand. You've been doing this a long time. Shit. You can come to that motherfucker with your boxers on. But the white boys be there with jeans and t-shirts on. Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, we're mad. I got down. And then with the Grammys, your thing is to, you know, express yourself at that moment, what you feeling at that time, from my understanding. So you was just comfortable. Type shit. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all look good to me. I'm like, I know you. But look, let me ask you this. Public backlash. Has it ever, you know, still. steered you away from a joke or made your comedy stronger? Who want to go first? It definitely. uh a deterrent i ain't seen enough public to catch no backlash you know what i'm saying so like for it to be public backlash like it got to be a lot of people that make up the public you know what i'm saying so yeah no i ain't never had no public backlash i wish i would get some i did learn something from um from some public backlash that didn't have something directly to do with me but when nick went through the situation with wild and out the whole thing was it's like it ain't so much um what you can say what you want to say about anything but it's like you can't control how people feel and react to what you say and i think that's the most important thing in terms of like public backlash when you say when you say shit you got to know that people gonna can take it however they want to and you can't be you can't have backlash to the backlash would you take it back what you mean like if you guys if you said something uh that caused outrage from the public would you like retract what you said hey man kind of like what easy said i would love to cause the public to do anything you know what i mean that is my job to get you know what you make them lash or backlash most people would pull it back because that's why most people don't need to be in the public eye because most people ain't built for that like okay boom you just brought up the little joke you said man what was the thing about the outfit right and then doug hit you with the one two it's all good i ain't saying nothing about no but i don't understand i was about to say i was about to say the mofo can't take them in a personal situation you know what i'm saying so you get the public on your ass it's a big deal bro oh i had my own little encounter okay i just was speaking i was just sometimes you be in your moment because you know stuff like okay i know i know my jokes right and i know who's been in the room with me and i don't say some stuff and i probably i seen my joke go viral right and i know for a fact that person was there when i said oh somebody stole your joke and went crazy so and it went and got more got more visibility than you did oh most definitely and the people don't care so so so me they won't delay i didn't think nobody was gonna really just be into my comment and i was like dang my joke made it to such and such before i did made it to tv before i did oh man i heard it before no the you then no it was on dev jam ain't nobody on dev jam never said no like that ever what was the joke and who was the good no i ain't you know we don't say all that stuff because it's you know you know come on get the back we need backlash no no no because i got young young folk this on go they be ready so no i don't want to what was the backlash you faced when you said kumo d was from atlanta thank you i'm gonna let y'all continue the discussion oh yeah get the paper k dub yeah i'm gonna let y'all continue we don't need that paper we about to talk about this nigga yeah

it's like oh that's hard but i tell you what though i tell you what that we've been comedians for a long time done several different tours of several different acts and our own stuff yes the way that this was run like how rappers run a comedy uh a rap tour like how you get your money before you leave because you know we get paid any type of way hey bro tuesday i just want to cash half check yeah you feel what i'm saying come on bruh stop playing games because that's negotiated with the club uh prior to and that don't happen ahead of time so i gotta make sure that i say that yeah you gotta show that they're up and coming comedians just know that you're gonna get paid any type of way so just get used to it but on this tour right here you get your money before you leave hey but don't invite them oh shout out to kp yeah like on this tour he'll do get the money but it's closed okay oh he's closed for everybody oh being said you can book me on only fans i do kid parties i do churches at greasy grandma i do all of you gonna have a good time so just call your girl what crazy about me is i always had to cancel a lot of shows to even do how i'm off your show that's why i always needed to know today nagi i'm a show getting ass nigga yeah i'm gonna get shows i'm gonna get in show i'm gonna get in show i'm gonna get in show ass nigga i get a lot of shows they may not pay as much as tip shows but i got a hundred shows i got a hundred i got a hundred shows yeah i got a hundred don't get it twisted come back again yeah don't get it twisted i was already getting money it wasn't that much not like that but i got some hey this next question there were any questions they got they say which do you prefer silence or polite laughter silence i don't even like tv laughter you feel what i'm saying like when you filming something and you feel like they are laughing like harder or faker than you you know what i'm saying you actually feel it don't feel natural enough i don't like that either most people afraid of silence you know yeah like they want to hear something happening i don't mind silence because that means they actually listening you feel me yeah when they're laughing the whole time they can't be listening what you're coming and i don't mind silence because i'm very funny to me you know what i'm saying so i it it it matters that you laugh obviously that's my job that's why i'm there but by and large if you're not laughing for a good portion of this this if i'm still saying it i'm laughing at myself at the whole time you know what i'm saying yeah somebody somebody just asked me they said what gets you like riled up is it what's that word baby you know what i mean i can't i get rolled up give me a little bad bitch i mean what get me excited there we go okay excited when i'm on the state that asked me is it when people are laughing loud or the silence and for me a lot of people say the laughter but for me when i have them silent they do something to my insides because i know they listen it to me i heard i had a man one time say be quiet i'm listening to home state so that like get me like get my what's the word a drilling in adrenaline get my adrenaline i think that's the things on the avatar i think that's what they were fighting they were finding the adrillions yeah i think the jillians are trying to take over where they're from and they unplugged them damn and they lost their dream i'm an adrenaline i would say it is silence or polite laughter it don't really matter i think it is silence or polite laughter it don't really matter i think - I think the laughing part is your bonus. I'm up here to save you. this shit. Yeah, I'm just up here to say it. And I'm going to slide some bullshit in there just for my own, you know, good. But I'm just up there to say it. If you find it funny, you find it funny. I told a crowd the other day, it was probably like 9 o'clock at night by that time, I said, y'all are the first people I talk to all day. You feel what I'm saying? I really need to say something to somebody. I ain't said nothing to another person. Like, I'm winning, y'all. You know what's crazy, though? Yes. You can laugh, too, but. I already won. I'm fine, and sometimes that's the best way, because I find, like, sometimes, bro, I don't like getting in conversation during the day. Because niggas will talk you out, and then by the time you're getting paid to talk, you don't have nothing else to say. You're like, bro, I don't waste no more time. I lost my adrenaline. My adrenaline. My adrenaline gone, bro. I'm full. They ain't going to talk me out of my adrenaline. I'm full. It's crazy. Niggas are talking me full. And that's what Tilt was doing. That's what Tilt was doing. Him doing comedy was him getting it out. And it helped him, too, because he was able, you know, to use his platform and use his situation with How I'm Off You to get his stuff out, and for people to see his point of view of things. You could tell that shit was helpful for real. Yeah, yeah. Like you said, because it kept him off the internet saying that shit. Yeah. That black shadow banned him or something. Yeah, it did. I used to hate to see him jump on live early in the morning. Nigga ain't wipe his eyes yet. But damn, Tilt, wash your face, bro, before you get that. One time he made me get on there. I was like, man, come on, man. I ain't getting on here with you, man. He said, that came up. Get on my live. I said, bro, I'm not getting on your live. To argue with you. No. So now he get it off on stage. What y'all think about comedians coming on politics? Let me answer first. I think they can say whatever they want to say. I think people shouldn't talk about politics. I think they should just stay in their house and just vote. Go in that booth with the curtain and just be quiet. Because politicians don't know enough about politics to talk about politics. So what do I look like? I don't talk about nothing I don't know about. I ain't got no family, so I ain't finna be on stage talking about kids and shit. So what's the problem? If you're talking about politics, I ain't into it. I vote when I can. I feel like it's a trap. They bait you into talking about it, but it changed so much. You can't really take a stance. By the time you take a stance, the stance you done took has changed. Real shit. The circumstances around the stance you took is different now. Your stance sounds like bullshit. New information is coming out. You talking about saying you don't want to vote for the gay people getting married now in 2026. It's stupid to not vote for them to get married. But you took a stance on that. My opinion of that is, I wouldn't talk about it because I don't know too much about politics to even make jokes about it or have a voice for it. I don't care too much about it. I believe in God. That's just it. But I do look at people like D.L. D.L. Hoogly, who has a Hoogly. That was close. Y'all got a cheer. No. Now y'all cheering. You got to know that was funny, man. I didn't want to keep killing. D.L. Hoogly did not want to be called D.L. Hoogly. Hoogly, Googly. I forgot this Tim show. This ain't just our show. Googly, Hoogly. It's D.L. It's like Hugh. Hoogly. Stop it, man. You better go get a point out. Come on. Mr. D.L. I like Go ahead. Hit that shit, E. You like how he get into politics? D.L., you got to repost this. I like how he, you know, how he talks about politics. Yeah, he voices opinion. And he be having a lot of points and views that I really, I turn to his station just to look at his point of views and things. But I don't like people, I don't like certain rappers in the politics. Am I like Tim? No. Tim ain't really into politics. Yeah, he got the mayor. He got the mayor. Tim was deep into politics. A line of politics is different. What crazy about politics is Tim and Dre. Tim was so deep into politics at one point. He had to step up. He was up there arguing with Candace. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was a politician. What I learned about watching comedians or anybody talk about politics, anytime you can sound like you know something that everybody don't know nothing about, people just going to believe what you're saying. So you can get up there and say, man, listen, 85% of the population is living under the mean income of 45 times nine. And it's really 14. And you don't know. And it sounds like, yeah, that's the truth, ain't it? You don't know not a damn statistic. But it's like, bro, they do the same thing with preachers, bro. Most of the time, it says in such and such. No, I was. But you know what I'm saying? He knows the word. I know the word. I get my read on. But another thing, most people don't get their read on. Yeah, you got to get your read on. It's so easy, man. Listen, bro, they're not going to pick up the phone to download the app. You feel me? Oh, you can retire your license as a pastor? Huh? You can retire your license as a pastor? No, well, okay. I don't know. That would be a good time for me to turn like I know some shit that I don't know. I really have no idea. Because I know you was a pastor. That's what I'm not going to do. Because I used to go to your church and stuff. Right, no, that's it. He go the same. You went there for everything? Yeah, you and I go in the woods. Yeah, I went, okay, so yes. Nigga, yes. Yes, nigga, yes, I did preach for the Lord. Yes, nigga, I did. And we, you know what I'm saying? He go the same, though. It's a difference between a church and an established business. Like, a church technically is the people. It's like a person. You yourself are the house that God lives. You know what I'm talking about? But a church business is a whole different thing. Now, the church that I had, it wasn't no business about it. It was outside. Everybody could come. Nigga would smoke weed out there and everything. Yes. The church business, it's 501c3, you know what I'm saying? They're tax-free, you know what I'm saying? They're making off like a fat rat if they want to. I ain't gonna convict everybody of doing that, but I'm just saying. It's a business, bro. You feel me? So that's all I got to say about that. I don't want to take any more stances. Okay. Well. Well, I like how you put that, brother. Let me ask y'all one last thing before he take back over. The man came back in here drinking an English breakfast. Do y'all? Yeah. Come on, man. Get this man out of here, dog. They got any more of that out there? Yeah, I want one. There may be a taste. You might really get all the perks. Now he's finna do movies. Go ahead, dog. Now we really going. This tour really done, bro. It's all from the album to the movie. It's only going to evolve into greater things. For me, at least. I told you. Hey, man. Let them get the last question out, man. No, no, no. No, man. Ain't no more questions, man. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Dog got a question. No, no, no. This is a good one, man. Go ahead, man. Do you think comedy's job is to comfort people or to expose? It's a little bit of both. Yeah. I don't know about expose people, per se, but I think it is to expose facts maybe about people, but certain things that people should know or should look at in a different way than they've been looking at. I think that is our job, to show people a different way than they've been looking at. Another POV. I think it depends on what people need, what they are in their life. Some people need to be comforted at a point in time. They might be going through a tough time, lost somebody in their life. They might need the comfort of a lab. I did that. And some motherfuckers need to be exposed. So it depends on where they're at in their life. Well, both is going to happen. Both is going to happen together. It's just going to be different people going to be doing the exposing and doing the comforting. In one person's set, something will be exposed and somebody will be comforting. I don't think it's anybody's job to necessarily go around exposing people, exposing issues, exposing feelings, exposing differences. It's just different processes of thought. That's a cool thing. I think the exposing is what makes Dave Chappelle who he is and great at what he is. He exposes, obviously, people, but different things in the life of people. Like, damn, I didn't even think about that. And he also can sound real smart knowing shit that niggas don't know about. He might not know everything that he goddamn knows. He comforted Charlie Barnett and then Hannibal Buress exposed pretty much. He didn't expose. He exposed Bill Cosby. Yeah. Hmm. Well, I don't know. I don't expose people, but I do expose people to a different world, you know, that you can use to expose like that. Like, I don't know if people just bringing it to the air that, you know, you do fuck young niggas. You know, you fuck young. That's going on in the world. You expose yourself. And I'm exposing that. But I'm not the only one. A lot of women don't came up to me. I wasn't going to say nothing about it until I seen you on stage. Say nothing about it. I'm a fucking young nigga. I've had a young man, too. Why is that even a big deal? Yeah, well, that's a big deal. Like, why they got to. And I'm not saying this is not a funny deal. I mean. I'm saying. I thought you pulled the fuck who want to fuck you. Right. But then you. I mean, just to. Y'all can make it like that. I guess talking about it. The reality in this world, you know, it is a thing when people have a problem with people dating younger, younger people. So that is a thing. Depending on how young. Depending on how young that people who ain't dating at all. Yeah. If you got a date, you ain't spiffing on who nobody is. Right. Right. I mean, it depends on how young you are. You told me. Now, that's the truth. That's what I said. If you 52 and she 19, that's kind of crazy. I mean, it's cool, but it's crazy. It's a little crazy. That's crazy. If you 52, she 19. Yeah, that's a little crazy. It's cool. Older than some time. What the youngest even did? I'm about to say a real number before the people come at you. I don't care. Them niggas going to expose me in a minute. They got some videos of me. Oh, my God. And they are coming out. Again, if y'all do, I will pay you to delete them. I'm paying all these bills to get all of her sexual activities far away from my internet and my algorithm. I believe it's worth my dollar to never see Erica naked on my phone. Oh, my God. No offense to you, but you like my sister. I know. You don't want to see that shit. So, what did I miss? You missed Paul, bro. You were saying how you ran off. Randolph on the man. Randolph Harris. Randolph. Randolph. Randolph. Randolph. Randolph. Randolph. The king's back. Randolph. We're back. He Randolph. Hey, below, serious up. Yeah. How does it feel? To? To be back. I mean, bro, I don't really, I don't have no real feeling. I don't have no real feeling. Okay, more direct question. How does it feel to have a hit song while TikTok is such a big thing? That's got to be a different thing. Yes, because you all over that motherfucker. I don't even have a TikTok. But you see it, though. We sending it to you. Yeah. Yeah. It feels fleeting. That's good. That's good. That's good. It's right up under a trillion. Don't do that. Did I say it wrong? They said I said a trillion wrong. See, me, adrenaline, and it's a trillion. Yeah, my a trillion. My ass a trillion? Lasting for a very short time. Adrenaline. It sounds just like what I said. Fleeting. And you see, in this day and age, everything is fleeting. That's the country. Everything is fleeting. Everything. Yeah. You get a major scandal popping off. Oh, yeah. And it's major for like four days. Especially in your phone, everything. And in your phone, come on, bro. It's going to fleek. It's fleek feet. Yeah. I mean, but you know, I'll just talk about being back. I don't really understand it because I ain't winning. Because where you win. Type. Type. Type. Type. Type. I was going to say, where you had win. Okay. Let him know. I'm going to let him know. I'm going to tell you where. You did go somewhere, nigga. I'm off your team. Hey, I ain't going to cap you down. It ain't went nowhere. I'm going to tell you. But it feels different doing a rap show after you've been able to stand still for a minute. And now you got to get up there and jump around again. Boy, that breath be like, hold on. Soon as I heard that song. It's a muscle, isn't it? Yeah. As soon as I heard that song, I looked at a picture. It was a picture of all of us. And we were disappearing off of it like back to the future. Like the end of Boys in the Hood with Ricky, with Doughboy Walk. Oh, man. Back to the future. Disappearing off the picture. Yeah, man. We did have a conversation earlier. I will tell you, I did a podcast earlier. They said that you saving Atlanta. I used to feel like that, too. You saving the city at a good time. And you came at like the perfect time. I didn't plan none of it. I know you didn't. That's God work. Yeah. And Atlanta, man. To be honest. I'm just, man, I'm just speaking. I'm speaking for my city the way, you know, the way I want anyone to speak up for my city when it's, you know, being challenged. That shit. You know. Anybody that's saying shit, I'm going to get out there. Yeah. Dang. That's because I'm trying to get their podcast away. But that's what we said. They said, who else do you think will take to a place once he sit down? He ain't going to sit down. That's what they think. He is. He's not going to sit down. He's going to be like Muhammad Ali fighting in the baseball field out there in the Bahamas. I don't know about that. In the wheelchair running through the checkerboard. Running through the red light. And he ain't going to. I don't know how many times he lied to y'all, but he's lied to me plenty of times. That's it, though. This ain't the first time. I'm done, though. He looked at me and I'm done with that. I said, no, you ain't. Hey, man. I looked up running through the checkerboard. Hey, man. It's in your blood, man. Man, to be honest with you, bro. I just need time to spend this money, man. I just need time. I ain't have time. You know, I'll just work. I need to spend it.

You got some money to spend, yo. I just spun it off. I'm getting that on the soul. I spun it off. Hey, I just want you to, you know what I'm saying, spun it off. I told you to put it up. I didn't. I wasn't going to put it up. I asked you not to tell me to put it up. He ain't had no way to put it. I had to put it somewhere else. Somebody else needed it. I ain't had no way to put it, too. Put nothing up. What do you say, Deezy? Oh, no. I got a foundation, man, that I just started, and it's geared toward helping me. I'm bullshitting, man. He said he got money to spend.

Then her last name. But she got my name in now, and she's an Aquarius like me. 131. Ramone. Ramone. Erica Ebonique sounded like you was supposed to rap back in the day. I was a rapper.

he's a fighter y'all you don't know no you don't want to roast me i don't want to fight nobody but i don't want to roast you go not fighting because it has been a time that i roasted man i felt so down bad man that's why i said i would never i would never do that i would never do that i would never do that me i would never like drunk drunk on stage like drunk drunk because one time i roasted this lady you're like she would with me but what i gave her she didn't deserve that and that's what i don't like doing that's how i feel at club live like when i woke up after it was that all ears must hear and all eyes must see don't take my car that was the funny thing all ears must hear 2 chain was shaking her head 2 chain was shaking her head he knew how he wanted to move but he had nowhere to go 2 chain was like man this man i knew it what the little jury do hey we need to put that on a t-shirt or something all ears must hear Johnny Dane was looking like where is this hey but it wasn't as bad as i felt like he's made it no don't get me wrong no but look don't get me wrong because i wasn't speaking about the message the message was intentional and necessary and i stand by it you know what i'm saying but when when when i said yeah now press the button and then he played the dj play whatever you like i was like no that's not what the you supposed to play and then i got there then the energy shifted to the dj who the is you man hey damn and that part is the part that i felt bad about you know what i'm saying like because the dj he didn't even he didn't come there for me you know what i'm saying was that never worked with me before from the time when you throw that at the gate to hit the button hey bro look hey i thought i said hit the button niggaz all buttons away from till harris that night they locked him up i still got that footage in my phone oh my god they locked him up push the button oh man yeah you'd have had a lot of moments man yeah man I appreciate it too, man. I appreciate it. No tacos, no beers. No nothing. The public, bro. It's the public. It's the public. Because a lot more regular people done had a lot more violent encounters with folk. They just ain't been public. Yeah. And so when you in the public eye, everything you do is under scrutiny. You feel me? Yeah. Man, I just. Yeah. It definitely is. I applaud you for just how you handled that shit, man. Well, I have. I be telling folks, I learned a lot. Just how you handled that shit, just the public eye, it's like you be quiet, you know what I'm saying? Or you might say your little shit, but at the end of the day, like you clicking on something. Like right now, whoever, like a tip hater or something, I know they hate the internet or they sales right now. When you in the public eye, man, it's just like that. Yeah, this nigga. And then you just bounce back. Like you go through that shit, and then y'all, it don't, don't nothing just stop you. And I like that shit. That shit. That's God. When you in the public eye, your shit is magnified. Give him all the praise. Trump say grab him by the pussy, everybody mad, but everybody know that everybody want to grab him by the pussy. But we're going to act like that's something bad for now. It's just because he's Trump. He can't grab him by the pussy. I will go on record saying that no one's pussy should be grabbed. Please don't grab mine. Not like that. That little motherfucker is sensitive. Come on, man. That motherfucker is sensitive. Don't you grab it. You better caress that old thing. Ladies, do y'all refer to y'all pussy as that little motherfucker mine? You can't grab it. You can't grab no grandma pussy. You grab that motherfucker, it'll disintegrate. That shit be like, like holding a patadon there. Hey, man. You squeeze the patadon off too tight. I ain't that kind of motherfucker. Soon you grab it. Real big ocean over here. Don't play no more. My bad, my bad. Soon you grab it. Spur the P-drop down. Don't play with her. Spur the P. How you say it? It's a tsunami. It's a tsunami. It's a tsunami, baby. Tsunami. Wow. That's five in a row, bro. Oh, my God. She said D.L. Hoogly. Hoogly don't want to get named. You're talking about no politics, bro. Ambulary episode. That's five right there. You know what I meant. What else you got on that game? The Ha Ha Mafia. What else I got? What's the difference between being offensive and just being honest? Damn, that's good. Tip, you answer that one. Offensive. Okay. I think. Let Tyler answer. He's a writer. I think you got to be intentional. You got to intend to be offensive. Right. You got to, you know what I mean? You got to go into the statement with the intention of offending somebody, hurting their feelings or some shit like that. You got to have a mean spirit. And most offensive shit, most offensive things ain't really funny. Right. Yeah. Yeah. If it's not funny and you offended somebody, it was offensive. If it's funny and offensive, I don't know if it's, you know. 6-7. I don't know how far along you is in your set and how your face look too. Because you can get away with it. How far you along in your set, how you made them laugh, and how your face look funny. What if that's the only thing you say? What you mean? To my offensive? Yeah. What if the only thing that you say. I ain't never tried that and I won't try it. I've never went out there and did that. That's what I padded with so much good stuff. Nah. The ones I do got that's like that, which is very few, but they came to my brain and I couldn't let them go. I was like, these are good. Like, I couldn't write these if I tried. The people who really make a habit or a career out of being offensive, they have a particular market that appreciates their offensiveness. Yeah. And the people that come to see them are similar minded people. People who like to offend other folks outside of they, you know what I mean, in they regular life. I feel like Corey falling into that too. It's offensive type shit to some, but like his fans love that shit. Ari Shaffer. Shaffer. Him and Corey got that. You know what? You know what? You know what I just watched the other day? All the way through. I know. Patrice O'Neal. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Patrice O'Neal. Oh, yeah. He's a coach. Yeah. Elephant in the room. Oh, elephant in the room. Okay. He's a coach. That shit was real funny. That shit was real funny, man. Yeah, he is. He's a goat. Patrice O'Neal. Yeah. I think he's one of now top five comedians. He always talking about that. But he only had one special. Which is good. Yeah, they'll wait till you die, though. Yeah, he passed away. They'll wait till you die. Yeah, it's good. Because they weren't giving him that when he was living. No, they weren't. And what I think is good about him only having one special, bro, it's like a nigga who, it's like Biggie just dropped two out. Right? You ain't got time to suck. Nah, it's real. You understand me? Like, if you dropped more than, if he had more than one special, it would have been a big debate. But you only got one thing to represent. That's the same way I feel about Eddie. They'd be like, he only had two specials. Of course. But they were special. It's some people that put out a lot of specials, but if you look at them, only two of them are really good anyway. So you might as well have just put them two out and then live. Yeah, because I think your special, that's your special. That shit is special. So a lot of people got in their head. A lot of people got in their head, they got to have X amount of specials. They just got to do this special, this special, this special. And you done did so many, it's like your shit started sounding watery. Like, we ain't getting that same person from the first place. That's why I think Dave is so dope, because he can have a lot of specials. Dave is a great comedian. He's like a genius. He's a great comedian. It was a shift in the culture. Dave can do it. It was a shift in the culture when, you know, like Kevin Hart, Dave, like, you know what I'm saying? They've done so many. Cat Williams. Mikey Ups. Yeah. Like, motherfuckers started dropping specials like albums damn near every year. That's what it is. That's exactly what it is. But by and large, all those people you name, I think, except Dave, people talk about two of those specials that they have. Red Fuck That. I mean, he had a hundred. A hundred. About a gang of albums. Him and Richard had a lot. But like, people still only, Richard Pryor had a lot of specials people only talk about too. Yeah. Or maybe even one with him, to be honest with you. Why? That daggone Live and Smokin'? That's my shit. Yeah, he got a lot of them. Live and Smokin'. Like, they talk about Live and Sunset Strip. They don't really talk about any other special that he has. Right. That's what I'm saying. It's like, just make it special. Speaking of, man, tipmefunny.com special is out right now, man. Make sure y'all keep buying that, so Tip will come back and do comedy. Hey, man, we'll. Nah, but I don't like how y'all say, like, I left y'all. I ain't went nowhere. I'll be there talking shit. I went to get some money. I ain't thank you. I'll be talking shit. He said, we not joking. I'm joking, man. That nigga left. No, no, no, no. That nigga left. And we ain't did no show by this time next year. I'm like, man, that nigga left. They're running through them checkered flags, man. God, man. How many flags do they have? I ain't talk this shit. I'm not. What is that, man? I didn't give a damn. He ran to the store. It's a lot to you to me a little bit. That line, that really stuck with me. That's why Fat Man. Yeah, that's the damn truth. Fat Man, man, he just became a hot, hot man. I just got down. He like, damn, I just got in. And I didn't say, yeah, man. Hiatus. Boy, look. What we could do, like, you know, let's still continue to move around and we're going to book y'all and I'm going to just sit in the audience and count the money. No, right on. Let's do that. I like that. Hey, we all, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Count the money? I'm okay. You're going to sit in the audience and count the money? I'm going to sit in that. Yeah. I was off from nine to five. We done did a few shows when you wasn't there and they still got down, so I don't need you. You're going to go buy your money. Go on and run through the checkered flag. Go on and run through the red light. But put the show together before you do. Put them on the fly. Put the show together, man. We had something happen tonight. Yeah. But we still have things like Departments 2 that we're in post-production on. We're going to be introducing that. Everybody on this panel is in Departments 2. Yeah. Shout out to us. Yeah. One time for us. One time for us. Man, and let me tell you something, y'all. It's so funny, bro. Yeah. Shit is hilarious. It is. Thought She Was the One, you know, that's another film that we are also in post-production on. Yes. Not everybody up here is in it. But, you know, it's enough of us up here to see it. Tell me, the one we shot, that was the one? Yeah. Okay. Which one that was? Yeah, the one we shot after we did Departments 2. It's a romantic comedy. Oh, yeah. No, I wasn't in there. Thought She Was.

And as far as y'all need to got something to say, bro, just DM me so I can get on the show with y'all. You feel me? Because I'm working out here. Like, I don't want no problem, bro. We just working out, man. You feel me? Yeah. Hey, come on. Hey, come on. So, so, so, do you guys, do you guys think, do you guys think that, that, you know, that the world is, is kind of moving towards accepting new comedians or you think that it's getting tougher? Shit. I'll tell you what I think. I think it's every man for himself out here. way it's been it's more avenues like you can just get famous on your own now i mean look at all these internet comedians selling out you can just get famous on your own yeah ain't no harder just go who's your favorite new comedian favorite new comedian uh i like nav green i mean even though he in the high mafia i like his i like his motion i like his humor therefore yeah there's a few of them i like i like that uh cam patterson i like him cam real good he got good working uh what do you think about the the like you know one of my favorites is uh he's not necessarily a new comedian but he's being newly introduced to the broad market um ali sadiq yeah oh yeah he's the top story teller i'm partying though at least he wanted to code yeah and he's changed and he's changed the game for comedy like in terms of not only putting his own specials on youtube and them popping because his first special was actually i think supposed to be on netflix hbo and he had a discrepancy so he had to go to youtube but he's also putting other comedian specials on his platform and it's taking them up another level you know what crazy though bro i don't even know these folks i don't know these folks bro i know of he oh gosh you got but i don't know he and and and here go the things y'all like it's like this i don't really check them out and it could be to my detriment but what it is is i don't want to be influenced so the new the hottest new comedy special i deliberately don't watch it because if i take it in bro subconsciously i could i could spit something out like that came from that and i don't yeah i mean pause you know what i'm saying i first started comedy i felt like yeah tk tk i feel what you're saying but then okay one day i had tilt right because i got down with talking about uh uh some music you know what i'm saying and i say hey you remember when could like really start snapping snapping no and i was talking about a rapper right he said no i really didn't notice and i said god damn it that's what i i feel that because why would i notice that when i'm trying to snap on a higher level than i snapped before so i don't know who done put out what yeah i worked with anybody i don't give a i stopped watching probably about 10 years yeah man me too yeah you start watching what i'm watching comedy period now so about 10 years i ain't seen nothing all right so let me ask you i watch my friends but check it out though but check this out check this out so so the new special that came out you ain't seen them y'all ain't seen the new mike yelps i did i wanted to shout out yeah i did because that was a dope dope special man yeah i reposted i did i i ain't saying tk kirkland was he's one of them comedians told me that he said he's never he'd never go out and watch another um comedian perform due to the fact what fat man was talking about and i get it so but me i like to feel the crowd i like to feel the audience and ain't nothing nobody i i'm thinking about telling my life story so i don't think nothing it could happen i ain't gonna say it because you'd be like damn they do sound kind of good out there but i just i had to train myself to get out of there and be like tell your story the way you said in the same vein of what you just said right yeah you got to feel the crowd it gonna feel different to each person that comes up there so i could watch you and the crowd might interact with you one way but then i come and it's going to be a totally different interaction so the feel of the crew don't the feel of the crowd don't make me you're not meaning that the same energy no no no i go to watch other people in it because i know what energy i'm gonna bring like i'll be on the road like i go out i watch jay ski i'm gonna know i'm gonna do i want everybody but and i see the energy they bring i'm gonna bring erica now let me ask you this have you have you have you seen uh have you seen the new the new dave special unstoppable yeah i see y'all no that was any of this um i watched him do it a lot he shouted your boy it's this mexican dude that i like okay he was funny what ralph ralph ralph barbosa he is a new like his name malik something but he knew he's a messianic name it's a muslim mexican it's a muslim again let me find out you got a muslim on your phone oh he's talking about the he got he do skits too um um jayman fox posting him malik basil he's mexican though oh yeah basil no he's a man that's the comedian he's a mexican dude you know his special was funny you sure his name is malik it's something with an m okay so we gotta back up could have been miguel miguel might be miguel that'd be fine don't say please find a name because i gotta know now that might be your limit oh because i ain't never seen the mexican dude named malik i ain't even seen a white malik hey man um okay what so so uh what about i think it was you just told me that uh at least a deep new special was funnier than dave you didn't get that from me not to me i don't i don't compare comedians in that way okay yeah i can't say one thing is funnier than the other because obviously somebody told me that somebody said man i think that ali sadiq knew uh his new one i think it's called mondays he said it was it was uh funny in the day both of them was equally dope but you get two different things out of it yeah that's what i felt i felt that you know it was a different presentation um like you said man ali is probably one of the dopest storytellers yeah it's out there and because of the honey is it i like how he moved though i like um sadiq i like how he moved like he and he incorporates a lot of props and stuff while that's on stage he do that that tony roberts do you know what i'm saying here got them you the mic stand the chair the stools the tower a car yeah yeah so uh i talked to owner appears like he look overbite or what but i like how he be talking i don't know about that like you like it'd be like they're like i'm gonna let you i'm gonna let you like i'm gonna let you like i'm gonna stick that one enjoy that yeah that's him what's his name marcelo marcelo oh marcelo hernandez oh there's malik that's malik marcelo hernandez marcelo malik hernandez all right thank you for watching my special i did see that i did yeah i've seen a little bit of that yeah he's saying he's saying he's saying pretty cool yeah oh he's on snl yeah the guy yeah he was dope that's right okay yeah i do want to say this about mike special though uh delusional i liked it i liked him because i felt like not only did he get back to the old kind of silly mic that everybody loves but he stepped out the box and went into storytelling for the last like 20 minutes of the other special and i was like oh that's that's different and that was dope right yeah i had to make sure i say that hey uh i like that what's the weirdest advice what is advice you ever gotten from comedy got in the balcony oh you know i got one i get all kinds of weird advice somebody told me um don't don't do it because you're going to leave you broken homeless well that wasn't that that wasn't necessarily bad advice now that wasn't weird you weren't lying about that i thought i thought i think i might have told you that don't do this don't do this without what's going to happen here you're going to end up being 55 with no insurance the teeth are going to fall out you're having fun though i'm trying to check it's going to be fun now hey i just got some more health insurance boy shouldn't we have to read regroup got some more they go years without help i'm telling you peace though yeah it's going to be fun if you already got a million dollars in the bank but just imagine like what means like a up and coming comedian raising three kids on your own off a comedy um salary so can't nobody tell me about the struggle this year i know all about it dodge has been so good you know what i said i really can't i really did this with a comedy um income beginner's income okay entry so i can't i can't really complain i've been through the struggle but then i see how god just really blessed me too because they say proverbs 18 16 your gift will make room for you that's right and he showed me that i can i can be down bad you hear me but baby i'll go slam me a joke well i thought you were going to say something slaying this person i was like please lord please lord please lord don't let it get that bad my thoughts you know what crazy though yeah i think that success or whatever people call it in whatever industry is subjective it is it is left up to your own interpretation of what that is you know what i'm saying and even even what you call struggle bro honestly when i thought that i was struggling i was having a ball i was having a ball you know what i'm saying me it was going up baby but it was going down but it was going up you know what i'm saying like i mean i was having a It's a good ass time. It's a good time. Not having nothing. And then what happens is, and I don't know if anybody else, I'm not asking, but I don't know if anybody else out there identifies with this, but it's just as easy to have a fear of success as it is a failure because, see, failing is easy. It is. There are no expectations of a failure. When you start to win, this is when the pressure mounts because you got to maintain a level. A person with nothing is way more free than a person with a lot of responsibility because you got to upkeep their responsibility, you got to maintain it. It might look like it's more inconvenient for you, it's more inconvenient to wait on the bus, but, shit, you get that car, bro, you got to handle them tires, that oil change, that note, that insurance, you know what I'm saying? Tag. Tag. Goddamn incidentals, you know what I'm saying? Small things. And so it's the little things, man. And so I've learned to be appreciative at whatever the level is, and then it just keeps on increasing as long as I appreciate it. If I get dissatisfied with it, yeah, I find all kinds of shit to complain about then. I want to say thank you to all of you because each of you have contributed, except K-Dub has contributed to my growth and my journey as a comedian. I've learned a lot from you, whether by being on stage, by, you know, behind the scenes on a film, writing, directing, producing. And I appreciate you, and I think that the world should see more of you, everybody except K-Dub. I appreciate you, and I think that the world should see more of you, everybody except K-Dub. Because I feel that you guys. No, he just ugly. And I feel that, you know, you. Nappy head. I feel that, you know, while we give a lot of people a lot of attention, and I think that motherfuckers should be seeing and hearing more of you all. Right on. You feel me? I agree. Yeah. I agree, man. Hey, look, man, my favorite new comedian is Fat Man Deezy. I just want y'all to know. That man there, he is hilarious, bruh. Listen, if you just get with me, just talk to that man. Bruh, he gonna let you know what the hell going on, bruh. He gonna help you pray through your struggles in life, you know what I'm talking about? And that's just, you need him on your show. He ain't got no. He was told by somebody named Comedian K-Dub. He said, man, you got to get your fathers up, man. But I tell you what, they might be down. But I know him. I know him. I know him. I know him. I know him. Hey, look. I don't know mine. Hey, everybody that follow me, but I done met them folks. I don't know. There ain't not a damn stranger that follow the niggas like me. Because I can't be acting no fool. I don't give a damn. I've been sitting at the house thinking about what to say to y'all niggas. I'm like, what should I do? What's a good video? This right here, what you doing now? That's what I'm going to do. When I leave here, I'm going to show y'all exactly what the fuck I'm saying. Every day, you just give people. Look at the word. Okay. Just give people the word, man. Say no more, man. This is dizzy. Yeah, but do it every day. Every day. So everybody come back and they be like, man, you know, what's the word? What's the word of the day? Right on. Right on. Because you good at a sermon. You hard to. You good at a sermon, man. For sure. Open as you peruse through your Bible. What captured you and how you can relate to people in everyday life. Just give them about 30 seconds to a minute of it. I will, man. And what I'm going to start doing, I'm going to start reading to people online. Oh, my God. Goddamn. You going to say, I'm drawing on them? I got to improve. A trillion? Oh, my God. Okay, she got to improve. I got to improve my vocabulary, so y'all going to help me do it. So, you know what I'm saying? So I'm going to start reading, like, romance novels and shit. Then I'm going to start demonstrating what's going on. You know, I got you on footage reading the romance novels. Yeah, yeah. See, it come from. Tyler had me do it before. I wasn't reading it to him or anything. Once I met E, I was like. I was like, I think it'd be funny to have you read on camera. And it was. Yeah. It was fucking hilarious. Yeah. But I was saying all the right words. They were laughing at it because I was describing the lady. You know, she was having them big old orgasms and stuff. Oh, my God. So I was just telling the world how she was. Because the bitch was just screaming. I was like, she's screaming and shit like, man. So I was just demonstrating the story like that. We're going to post that on More Than Culture podcast. We got y'all. I know, for real. Erica Grunt's in sex. Hey, why you can't. No, no, Kizzy. The old one that I got down with. That was the thing. Wait a minute, fam. But they was like, ah. I don't know who you messing with. I ain't no Shirley. I ain't no Shirley. I don't feel like Erica. Ain't no auntie. You're going to be the one sounding like shouter, shouter. You're going to be like, hi. I ain't doing no grunting. I ain't no Shirley. But there ain't nothing wrong with the grunting. I wasn't making fun of her. That thing was old and good. Nigga, hurt me. You understand me? Old and good. Hurt me. Oh, my God. Hurt me. And with that, folks, I think we can go to the final segment. What I will do this time, because what we have is a word of the day. The word of the day usually describes the conversation or the guest here. And today, we will dedicate the word of the day to Erica. Erica, I will have you, since you want to read to the people. Yes. Please read the word of the day. Hold up now. Hold the fuck up. Word of the day. Hold it now. Hold up. What the fuck? Hold up, y'all. Just give me a minute. Spit that shit out, baby. Let's pray. Obdurate. Is it obdurate? Huh? Yeah. I give you that. She said, yeah. It's obdurate, but it's obdurate. It's spelled that way. It's spelled the way you're saying it. Yeah. And it stays. Except it's obuterate. Oh, it is. Okay. It does look like it said that. I said what I said. You said it looked like. She said it how it's spelled, for sure. Let me see. She said it how it's spelled, obdurate. Not if it's obdurate, it's spelled. Yeah. Yeah. Don't play with me. Don't play with us. Bitch, we're in school now. The educational system in Georgia is nothing. No, A grade. No, not A grade.
