I don't know. Ain't no ut gonna get me. And you want to be a Wayne's brother? You know we can talk. Yes, yes, because because um, like I said, you guys are really from royalty, like like honestly, Living Color changed the trajectory of black television. Like when I fucking learned that word checker fell out. Motherfucker, I can't

use another sentence with nobody wants to smell. Were all the same, but from at that time we had Robin Harris, rob rob what was his name, um not Robina, nigga, Nigris, Rob Harris, No, no, no, no, Robin Harris, my man, that baby kids. Uh yeah, So then the Living Color came, What the fuck does Robin Harris not to do? Nigga wasn't on the Living Color. No, Um, he was baby kid, he was a baby that was before Living Color. Correct, No, man, that was after that was I mean, yeah, The Color

was a long run. Broa. I don't know where the fuck Robin Harris got to do the Living Color now you I was about the line, but like, yeah, Robin Harrison, You're like, man, what's my man name? He's still alive after one is dead? That brings down the pool to Bernie Man. Recipe Bernie Man. He was the director, thank you. No, Robert Towns, Robertowns is alive? You like, my mom like, what's his name? Rob? Robbing U? You know Robin Williams. Robert town Yeah, that one, that's the one I'm talking

because other than that, we had no black directors. We had like at the end of the day, Living Color was produced shot to Robert Townsen. Robert town legend of the game. Um, somebody who to this day is like a big brother and a mentor. Him and my brother Kenan came up together. They wrote and uh Robert directed, and Keenan him starred and uh Hollywood Shuffle and that was the first thing that they did. And then after

Hollywood Shuffle. My brother Keenan started. He did I'm I'm gonna get you Sucker, Robert Towns in the media man, and after I'm Gonna Get you Sucker that my brother wrote started produced gave me a little small When you see it, you'll see what I'm saying his nigga, uh what in my stand up? God loves me if you would have saw it. Sorry. I talked about how Chris Rock took my role. He got a little piece of

little piece in the movie. Well, I was supposed to do that part in the in the rib Shack, but Chris had a beat, He had a dope set like a part of a stand up that really worked for that. So he kind of Keenan probe the one rib and so Keenan gave him that part. And I was supposed to be my part. And that's what don't give away anymore, man,

And that means nigga watched the special. All y'all watched the special, um And so after that, Keenan Fox asked Keenan, they had he had a meeting with him and they said, what do you want to do? And Keenan was like, I want to do a sketch show. And uh in Living Color, him and my brother Damon and my sister Kim, and you know the whole cast, David I Greer And then history was made and season came on. Everybody was carrying Jim. Dancers came up carrying, carrying enough but Jim Carrey.

So you sean, I'm came in time. Are you understanding that I didn't have dickhairs at this time? Like this is how young I was. I was like when the Living Color the pilot, I was like sixteen years old, and so I watched the pilot being done. By time it came on, I think I was in college, my first year in college. And when the show used to come on, I was at Howard University and everybody would leave whatever we are doing. It was eight o'clock Sunday night.

We would drop everything and everybody roll home and watch your Living Color. That's when TV was great. Yea yeah, ye It closest thing to a Living Color. I would say it was like the Day Chappelle Show. Yeah, Lappelle, Yeah Chappelle. That was a show. You know, you do the good show when the people who, um, you know, the Trailblazers, are proud of you, like my brothers were always proud of Dave Dave the Love Day. They loved Dave,

they love Chris, they love dudes in the game. They've been doing it a long time and get an opportunity rocking and Dave. Dave is always, you know, always pays love and homage to my brothers and gives them nothing but love. So we love Chappelle, we love rab Ain't no beef over here and never I never met Keenan, but I met Damon one time. You never met Keenan. I met d Yeah, Keenan with you. Yeah, I'm too much like I said, he said, you smelled mother. Damon's funny. Damon,

like you smell like weed. Give me some of this ship at the improv not too long ago, I think, like late last year, and he's hilarious. Man, Damon Damon is and it's like perfect for like he had like his rhythm that was like perfect. Damon's like my favorite. I can't call him my favorite because he's my brother. So my top comedians all time were gonna be Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryan, and my brother Damon. Those are my my

personal top three ever. And of course you know my other friends are like, I love Chappelle, I love Chris rob But Damon to me as a comedian, he just he just changed the game because he did something. I like when people do something that's never been done. And when Damon did the handicap bully, he did this thing because he grew up handicap, and he was like, you know, we he grew up handicap. Damon grew up handicap. Damon has a club foot, so as a kid, he always

a little limp he had. It looked like a little golf club. His foot looked like a putter. So growing up, you don't even know if you know what I'm So he had this bit about how we grew up in the hood and he didn't want to be like the handicap bully and be like me and don't bring me get up. And it was the first time I've seen somebody do this and didn't do somebody in a wheelchair. And I was just like, And then he did handy Man, and it wasn't that he was making fun of handicap people.

He was finding joy and the fact that he was handicap, and that's what made that joke. Bride. Oh, it's like when Chris, when when Richard Pryor talks about, Hey, whoa nigga? I was talking about this heart attack, but we gotta go straight the crap. Yeah, but when he talks about that, when you talk about things that hurt you or things that happened to you, to me, that's when you're really getting great in comedy, you know, That's what I admire

about comedy, Like um um. When I first started wrapping, I remember tragedy. Kaddafi had to come to and say to me, stop using all your trauma, meaning I was using every single thing that I went through. I would put it in a joint. And what he said to me was, you have to be kind of like, um uh, what the fuck am I thinking of trajectory? No, no, he said, you kind of kind of like, um, like put a hundred on ten, like you don't always have to say everything, yeah you're going through. Really I didn't

really know how to do that. But then it's comedians. Um. Like I was asked you earlier, I said, is there any where that's too far? Right? And then so so so, so let me ask you as a comedian, right you have relationships with how you have relationships Chris but you get caught. You you, you, you you. One day someone slips something in your your drink, you get caught. He's an ass somewhere. I don't know. I'm just giving you a sample. It's an example. It's an example. We can

pick it on who's ass you got slip? But but let me ask now now, now, Michael Blacksman goes online and goes, mom, my name Blacksmith. That's not his name, Michael Blacksmith, Blacksman, I said, no black Son black That's what I said. That's what I said. Accident. I just blacks a blacksmith shoe. You get cotta. He asked, you got it? And then Michael blacks what's the person who's your friend? He has your phone number. He could call you say I'm gonna kill you right now, but he doesn't.

He goes straight. He goes straight to the Graham. Yes, and he makes fun of you, my nigga, and you don't care as you supposed to. That's the way it's supposed to, this Graham, nigga. I want to see it in a special I want to see it in the audience. I want to I want to feel it so that I never do that dumb shit again. That's and we all know that I wasn't ready. I wasn't. We're gonna get an apple cider, no apple, you have the apple orchard, Jesus, I'll have I'll have a sip of that, and we're

going to your show tonight. Why you got this man doing this shit and you already got play rolled. Oh that's why he's he grows it right there to you. But how were you getting him? It's called living life? Roll it up? Yeah, So Somala after like so many people like, uh, they say that Nas when Nas did belly right, the Na stayed in that character for so long,

or Pop after Juice, that's definitely what to do. And we just recently see you on a daily show talking about Pop putting his nuts in front of Omar Epps. I don't know when you got to that. We went full. This is so I recently because I saw that and I see like Omar, I don't. I don't want to say he was offended, but he was like damn, why would you was like this nigga? Because Omar knows. I know Omar I was fourteen years old, my best nigga. He knows. Bro happen nuts him on here. He got

a malling story for you. Yeah, but but he he got a good mom. He got a couple of moms story he's happening, was like, take the picture. No, Almar sleep with his eyes open. So we is all up in the Bronx hanging out and and Alma, thank you so much. That's so, that's the greatest addition to this. Damn shit. You got a pretty girl in here, and what's fucked up about? I think you feel safe in here. She's good niggas all men like you coming to prison for a consus. Okay, So Omar sleep with his eyes

open like this, and Pop isn't jokes. So when he was sleeping, Pop was like, yo, watch this, take this picture. And so you see Almar. Pox balls somewhere in this world, pox balls in Omar's mouth, All they're not in his Why you gotta go there around? Don't get me feat up by our dog skimming. That's a different. So you gotta picture inside of whoa whoa. And that's why they called the movie juice. Are we going with it? Bad? No?

But I looked at this know y'all was friends. I knew y'all was because when you broke it up, Omar's face just looked at it. He looked at you like, I'm gonna sit on you soon as this is over this again. Yeah, but they know me for that, like I'm spot blow and that's what that's what we do. And you know what's the crazy thing is you got to meet You can bring him a drink? Please, yeah, yeah, please please, I just want you got to meet a different man off me. You got to meet a different Tupac.

Because Tupac. Someone would say that Tupac was it was, it was a pre Tupac and there's a death Row Tupac. I would say, they don't know. Let me ask you this. I would say, they didn't know. Did you connect with Tupac after he got to death Row? I know, I know all the tups you know, every different Gemini, Tupacini. It wasn't funny with anything whatever Tupac that was all. He was extremely funny. He was very smart, like he

knows what trajectory actually means. I don't, right, He wasn't a great rapper, a gangster, a poet, uh an activist. Tupac cor was all of those things. And he was a friend. He was a cool dude and through his is uh, his uprising, through his success. Every time he see me, always whether he be on the MTV line, always came over, always gave me love because we always he always always connected and I respect where he went. I saw him twenty minutes before he passed me and Omar.

He went over there to give him love because you know, we were all performing our high school kids. It wasn't an act, so Park wasn't acting like Bishop. There was just a part of the niggas that he grew up. When you grew up in the hood, we could all be gamest. I watched niggas do niggas shit my whole life, Like I was in the projects for seventeen years of my life. And when you grow up in the bricks, you know what it is, you know you I know niggas and Micah's serving life that I grew up with

that used to play in the playgrounds with. I just chose not to go to a park with them. I went somewhere else. I chose to do other things. My mother was like, street lights, come on, bring your black ass upstairs. My dad was like I was more afraid of my dad's belt than anything. So that kept me out of trouble. Park never had that. So when you young black men without fathers getting a lot more trouble.

Not to say that, you know, Effeni didn't do a great job, but a mother is different than a father. Father will strike fearing your ass. A mother you could argue with at a point a boy thirteen fourteen years old, I could take you. Nah, I got here on my day. You can't take me. Those slaps don't work, those belts don't hurt. So Pop was that dude that just transcended all that. So I'm trying. I'm trying to make listen.

But this one thing I think is always lost with pop story how young he was, how young he passed. It was only twenty. You don't want to himself at that age and I'm twenty four. Imagine if he was still a lot because right now our generation, I never met tupos. So you know, so like, so come give me some give me some too, love, man, do you know what's up about? It visited my hood when I was in jail. Like that's like like it was like

a shot, wow, whole ship change and fell out. But po Pock was just that young, that bright, that shine, that start, that was that bright, that young. Imagine what he would have been today, Our generations would be so this society wouldn't be as sensitive to Twitter would have

been something else, Instagram would have been something else. Pop with his legendary voice would have definitely been a big for us in today's And I think Big and Poc would have squashed their beef and I don't think they would be They would have been that it was just too much between Big two Nigga. I was there one night when Poc and Big performed at clam Slam. There's

a picture of this. Biggie had party and bullshit and Pok had I think, was I get around him a few other hits he had Biggie, Yeah, I was that night in the dress tw bring it out like I've been around a long time. In twenty I've seen Biggie twenty minutes before he should got shot. So what I'm saying is, oh my god, damn, that shit is history. Bro. Let's just let's just um you know, um you being a part of one of the famous families of this industry? Is that is that a plus? Or is that like?

Is that something that burdens you because a lot of people will always say like like like I I brag about you when you're not around, Okay, I brag about you. I'll say Malan is one of the most funniest people ever, right, and I say it and it's like what And I'm like, yeah, I'm saying, do you ever seen Malan? Like like just without it? And then so what I'm saying is being a part of this family, is that something that is a plus? Or it's like, oh, okay, he's supposed to

be fun because you're supposed to be. It's just like a curse. So when Bradna forget what they say, you know what they say, they almost say, of course, like and that's fucked up to me because it's like they when I say, how funny you are, like he's supposed to be funny, and it's like why because he's from this royal family, He's supposed to be funny, or it's

supposed to be funny because he's funny. I had it hard, right, but I wouldn't want to know all the way You're I'm saying, like I'm not walking just in my own light. Nigga got giant footprints that have paved ways, and yet I'm I have to have the courage to be able to step in those footprints and then veer off and create my own giant footprints. And that's what my career has been. I'm not it's not a curse. It's a

gift for me. The pressure of being the baby of my family, it's it made me half to step up. It made me have to be better. It made me have to I can't be regular. I have to be great. I can't be good. Good ain't good enough, Not when you got giants like Damon, Keenan, Sean Kim Nigga. My whole family is dope as fun. I gotta be great. I have no choice, and I'm not gonna fail it because I got that family name. But I'm doing the work not to just be a wands right, I'm doing

the work to be Marlin. It really is. I even got that old bit of nigga clap that because no, because it's it's it's truly what happened to the nigga that was sleep He woke them up. Oh you wouldn't take a ship, come come right back? Is good? No? Because I remember when six top lists came out. Yeah, and I remember me bragging about this, and I remember me saying, Yo, you know what, this is his break, this is his role like to for people to actually understand.

And and people just they give you their crops for the nay they say, oh, you know he's supposed to be and I don't feel like that's necessary. It's coming, man, do you understand what happens? I'm patient right, and my special that I have now called God Loves Me is because I understand. I see the forest through the trees. I understand the journey that God has put me on, and it's not for the faint hearted. It is not an easy journey. I am glad I don't have an

easy journey. I know where I'm going. It will be to a legendary place. Because for me, I just got my head down. I don't care about what I'm trying to do. I'm just doing what I love to do as good as I can do it, as much as I can do it, and I just keep getting better. That's why I dropped my first special five years ago, Wokesh because I wanted this. I did stand up for eight years. I want to see what I was like I wanted to bookmark that I wanted to go. I

did that. Let me see. Two years after that, I'm gonna do another special, you know what it is. Then two years after that, I'm gonna drop another special, which is God Loves Me. If you look at my progression from here to here on my first album to my third album, it's light like night and day. I'm on some it's coming, I'm on some other shit. I'm finding my rhythm. I'm finding I'm finding my shit, my own. Do you feel like you found your rhythm already You're

still kind of Noah, It's it's getting there. Like for me. I everything's starting to coagulate. Everything's coming together. The writer, right, I've been writing, you know, I want to ask for that word to come together. So it's the writer I've been writing now you and writer in me. I've been writing now, writing movies and TV for twenty something thirty years. Right. I created Wayne's Brothers with my brother Sean. We've been writing since we was like nineteen years the goddamn thing.

So it's transcending. So you know, movies, I've been writing movies. Then as an actor, i've been acting, right, Yeah, well me and my brother Sean Keenan. We were white chicks acting. I've been acting since I was seven, since I was seventeen, professionally, then to add the producer, I mean, I've been doing for thirty years. Now I do stand up, but I've been doing stand up for for twelve years. So now I have ten thousand hours logged in five different areas

of my profession. I'm getting nice with this shit. I know where I'm going. I'm going to pick you up and you, like I said, man, the fact is to me like you're You're just And I know you said you can't be funny twenty four hours. No you can't be, but that should be. I've never seen you not funny. But that's why I don't smoke weed, because if I smoke weed, I'll be on all day. My mind don't

shut off. LINGA one time I was high and I thought I was Spider Man, like I was literally in my house and my nephew was like Nigga kind of weeds and because my mind opens up, it's like I when I do weed, it's like I do I a wasca. Like we just talked about I heard him and all I could think was now that ship. I want to try. I want to try. We're gonna do you want to be a part of that was like that was crazy. Part of me was like yes, Chuck D. The part of me was like you too. We didn't get high.

There were both of that just twenty seconds ago. But um, part of me sitting there gonna and Chuck desk, I want to see flavor flavor on boya. I hung out with Chuck D and then I hung out with Flavor Flame. It was all different experience, a whole different experience. It's like the group. But that's what's great about public in me. You got this con just group and then he comes to his crackhead with a clock on his neck. Yeah, boy, you know the it just worked. It fucking worked. It worked.

I'm the flavor flavor of my family. That's me. I don't know the clop so let me let me ask you, right, non Ti Ti is actually taking this serious? I thought my friend comedy, so I text him and I didn't think he's gonna take this as serious. Tis actually going He's going through the Chiplin circuit. Yeah, like he's not even starting as TIS proud of him. He don't want to tell him I'm proudly he started a little further ahead and stand up than I did. I went further

back than he did. I had a billion dollars in box office is underneath my belt. And when I started doing stand up, I would go to coffee houses, I would go to open mics. I would perform and dive bars, some boatcycle bars, and people was like, Nikki, you got scary movie out? Why are you? Because if you're gonna do it, you gotta take it serious and you gotta be a journeyman. I didn't want to bump comedians. I waited to last, or I waited for my turn, or I pick a number out the hat. I wasn't going

up there trying to bump people. There's a process, and I respect what he's doing, which is going the long way. He can't expect to sell out concerts as TI because the comedian, that's a whole what he's doing. Yeah, but I be honest, I would take a short. I call this nigga. When he bombed, I call him up. I want to be the big brothers like I know it, I know it hurts. He'll be on the plane, he has his hoodie on. I still feel the heat from the from the temperature of the room room at Maddison

Square Garden. I know what hell, but he understood. But here he understood. The next day, what do you do? He actually did good, got on the same stage and a man in Atlanta, and he was in the stage when he flew to Atlanta, and he don't count. It takes ball to come back in right, five thousand motherfuckers and you come back the next day. That's what stand up is. Sometimes you rock, sometimes you bomb, and have you ever ball? Oh? Sure, it's fun to me. I

like bombing because I know him. I like when i'm your favorite ball, your favorite my man pick one. I feel like since no no, no, no, no, no, definitely definitely LA because they're so pretentious. So when I'm there, I like, I like to talk about all the ship that everybody's afraid to talk about, like blessing, cryption, shit like that. I ain't getting killed, I ain't got that, I ain't none of my business. That ain't none of

my business. I don't know what you're talking about. I hope throw gentlemen, and I kind of hope think it all. But you will not catch me doing rebound. You know I talk I just talk about like uncomfortable stuff. I talk about like real life uncomfortable stuff. I talk about how I've made mistakes in my life. I talk about infidelity. I talk about, like you know, ship, where I'm not as a parent, where I fail, Like I talk about real shit. And oh you can't say that, Sure I could.

It's my fucking kid. I'm gonna say if the fun I want because in order to find funny, you got a bomb. You're as a comedian, you're a scientist, and you're putting these joke formulas together and people are literally watching you blow these things that you're mixing together, blow up in your face until you find the right combination. Then boom, oh water, that's a laugh. How far along bombing do you take a joke where you keep trying

to rework it before you get it? I keep going the joke, the joke works, You're gonna keep it going. I hear them go oh, I go oh, man, I gotta all right now, I gotta learn how to tell this joke. Just because they don't challenge to you. Yeah, because the joke that I bomb with is the one I want to close with the one that I bomb with is the one I want to have the biggest laugh because I know they're listening, and I know they're affective. When they're like, oh yeah, you can't say that. I'm like,

all right now, they're listening. Now, all I gotta do is find the right punchline. And I got them. And are you the guy that makes these people lock their phones up? Uh? I'm not. I'm not rich enough for that yet. So that's that would be the Chapelle and the Chris, Kevin Hart and Chris Rocks. I'm like, I'm listening. I go off the Buddy system like please, don't You're like, please, guys, don't feel me. You can feel me at the end.

Don't put my jokes up there. And I ain't got that costs like ten granded put nigga's phones and sleeves. I'm like, I guess the joke gonna get out. Well, Um, I went to Uh, I went to Kevin Hart show. This is this is this is why I gotta have

respect for Kevin Hart as well. He would not start his show until he kept saying no if he go to the front, and I was just like, I was like, nigga, you Rick, I'm gonna catch the show, and he wanted me to be there from the beginning, right, And then I was like, that's also a pure comedian, because sometimes you guys get to a certain level where we think you're just untouchable and then it's human. You guys are still a human. Yeah, I didn't know that. What's fucked up?

He was high? None of that probably ever happened. What your ass was high? Did actually stop the show? The show audience, get the drink out? There ain't here, we ain't without because he didn't have like that. No, but he really that. He was in the front row in the back, he's sleeping, listen and then came with me. He was he really cared. He was like, yo, norriy go to the front. I'm like a cab. I am in Arcy. I'm gonna find my way to the front.

And he's like go and I went, I was like that for you, But you never come to my shows. I'm coming to your show tonight. What are you talking about? They already guess hosting me and every day I'm not even performing to the I am out here promoting the movie Air, which comes out April five. Jordan, No, it's Air. It's about that sneaker.

Oh of course he could get my number. But he called me and he gave me. I was like, I thought I was being pranked. I was like, damn it. Stopped sucking around, and then he kept going. He was like, I'm doing this movie and it's it's really this part in this movie. And he exclaimed the Partney George Raveling,

the person in the cast. Yeah, nigga, don't die in our family. We got jokes, we got it wasn't that we were clowning. But my auntie buried him my cousin Seti Russell. So he died. He was in a motorcycle crew, and my auntie wanted to honor him, and she buried him in his motorcycle gear. So he had like his white T shirt, a leather vest. He had some um some baggy jeans and some Air Force ones and a Yankee fitted. And me and Damon were sitting over the casket and my brother Damon looks at me, goes, we

know if there's a dress code in heaven. I don't think SETI getting here say that to you when you and tends. So I'm laughing and people are like, oh my god, look at marm and Damon are just my mess right now. But yeah, we always got jokes. I mean, my mom taught us that. Man, you always you learn to laugh in your worst moments. Man like like life. Everybody taking life too seriously. Let's laugh, let's enjoy like.

white white, it gotta be me and Sean. It gotta be me and Seanna call him as the old ladies yeah, blanc yeah, they call it yes yeah, you guys, yes, yes, yea. And then got to be in there and you gotta have what because he's the grandson of you. What you gotta have he came. T's gotta sad all the way down, proud you say, and then and then take them. So White Chicks two is gonna happen. I don't stow it

in the universe. Um we'll see. I don't. I don't throw that in the universe because I don't control it, you know. But I would do it Why Chicks too? And I would I think, I think that and return to the Scary movie franchise and do it. But I would watch the own scary movie they offer, they out, they out, And that's why I would return to it. To return to it. Now, I think that it needs

a reboot, and I take that. There's only the only story that people want to hear is the waynes is a back otherwise, you know, because we know how to tell those jokes. There's only certain people that could tell jokes about everybody and nobody get offended. And with those people, god damn it, that's that's real, yo. Like I said, man, you never for me you never disappoint Um. You're one of the funniest people to me on the planet. Thank you. I'm so I'm so sorry that I don't actually tell

you this. I tell us that everyone else and I always say, how I want you to see the special. I sold the special. I just was high, so I'm he didn't watch it. I watched the special in Norris, but I was no. No, I did wake up everything. I just gotta I gotta will rewatch it. I will rewatch it, but rewatch fact that HBO Max. Yeah, because everyone's running to Netflix. Why did you choose HBO Max? HBO Max chose me. I sent it to Netflix. I filmed this one out of my pocket, so I believed

in it so much. Where'd you film on that? I filmed it in Atlanta at Center Stage and so they wasn't doing specials, um, and they was like, you gotta wait till next year there's a runway, and I was like, I'm not gonna wait. I'm gonna film it. I know. I feel the deference produce everybody all the all though I produced it, I financed it, I voted, I did it all myself. Troy Miller directed Dacodea Films helped me

put it together. Rick Alrez and Steve Harris produced it with me, and I took my money and and I bet on myself and then HBO Max saw it. I sent it to Netflix. HPO Max loved it. And they're snobs. They don't like everybody's stuff. So if the fact that they called me up and they wanted to put it on their things, so they they licensed it from me

for and um it's on HBO. Manbo is big and like, yeah, but it's starting with comedy with a comedy space there too, so much loves me For independent entrepreneurs, can you describe that process of you paying your own because a lot of the name of the game is to always use other people's money, right, yeah, but unless you believe in us, unless you like we did early on and yeah we

founded a whole drink chance. We didn't get paid for the first But people describers to people you going to people are saying you want to film this episode, but then they saying, no, you film it next year, and you taking your own money. I knew I had a great set and I wasn't gonna wait. And for me, I don't like touring with the same material for more than a year. I feel like I'm gonna hit every city in every state, and then I want to get rid of it because I got something new I want

to do. I like bringing new ship to the audience over and over again. So I was like, the slap happened, and in three months I had him Chris Rock slap. Yeah, I had a whole special about it in three months. Normally you toured for two years. In three months, I wrote it like on a stage, Chris Rock took your role and you've been trying to get him back forever. Yeah, paybacks a bitch. Now I'm joying everything. Rock is not just like a friend of mine, like a brother, Like

he's a mentor. And I did this special in hopes that the three people are making fun of laugh the loudest, Jada Will Chris. I hope they enjoy the journey because I did it with love and um I just wrapped it up and after Yeah, people have to watch it all the way through. I'm not a hater. I loved him, but I'm just telling the truth about it. But in the middle, oh, it's hard. I'm just being truthful. I'm

finding I'm telling funny truths. Chris Rock humbled me. I'm gonna tell you something that I was in the sohol house right and Chris Rock walks in and I go, yo, send him a drink on me the way that comes back over and says, yes, his drink is eighty thousand dollars. I said, I'm not paying for what kind of drink? Was it? No, Chris Ron was just sending it like

he just kept looking at it. It was like, I was like, that's when I realized I'm not getting money, just like he's better than He's better than me because me, I've been like, it's eighty thousand dollars dollars, had a drink in my hand, and eighty thousand dollars drink, I'd be like. I was like, I was like, cause because I don't know what he told the way that back, because I guess he wasn't drinking or he's not drinking,

but so he did it. And then as soon as the lady says to me, she was like, you know, Chris in order the drink, And I said really, she said yeah, it's eighty eighty five dollars. And then he looked and then and then I looked because he just waited for me to be like, if you're seeing me a drink, I'm really gonna have an I'm gonna keep it above, but I'm walking my sending the drink. Yes, yes, but Marlin, thank you so much. Your team. I see y'all wrapping them up, get the don't bother them listen.
