The B Simone Episode

then blame it on us. Don't get it twisted on code and me and dancing for no buttlement biscuits. It's Willie d you'll scar face in the building. Collectively, we are to get old boys reloaded with in the old episode of information and instructions to help you navigate through this wild, crazy, beautiful world. In the studio, welcome and all of her splinter and everybody, you know, everybody starts you're something else, man like, like how do you do it?

Like you've got so many things going on. I mean, you're talking about fashion, beauty, fitness, film, music, How do you do it? I just try to do what I'm feeling right now. I'm on my fitness journey. I've been on my finished journey for years, but now I'm actually disciplined and trying to focus getting better at that um entrepreneurship. I have a cosmetic lines, but you know, focusing on

stand up comedy. I've been doing it for about three years. Yeah, I would absolutely like to come out and see that, because I never seen you do stand up. Yeah, you would enjoy it. I've never seen your routine. Like are you seeing you on wild and I and stuff? And I see you wild and out on it on the internet? You know really? Well I do on internet anymore. I'm good. Now. You talk a lot with some old videos, videos on well what videos I am I not talking about I mean,

but talk about the ship. I just say my opinions on things. I talk about myself. I don't talk about other people. That's my comedy. Have some very strong opinions. I do, like what give me an example for example, like when when you a while back you had mentioned that, uh, you know, on the Nick Cannon Morning Show that you don't date nine man. You got a lot of flap.

I did, I did. Do you still feel the same word? Absolutely? Well, I say, this is my stand up and I explain because most of the people that support me, actually you know they they're hard working citizens. They had yes and um, I do this. At the end of my stand up set, I say, clap if you have a nine five right, because I had a nine of five less than two years. About two years ago, I was waiting tables, I was working. Clap.

If you have a whole room claps, Clap if you would love to be at that job for the next thirty to fifty years. No one claps. That's my point. I can't date a man that's not following his dreams, following his heart. Um, it's happy that you're sitting at a desk. You're mad at me because I'm out on tour, living my life and you still cannot following your purpose. Most people that have aren't. I'm not saying that is bad, but if you are not driven, you're not following your heart,

you're not living your dreams. You've got a million dollar ideas in your mind and you're too scared to do it. I can't date no man like that. Fellas I'm coming up. I got you, I got your covered, and I'm not saying everybody needs to be an entrepre I'm not saying everybody needs to be an entrepreneur, but what I am saying is a lot of men that I have dated that are in that workspace. It's not even what they want to do. I want to date a man that is living in his purpose and doing what he wants

to do and can live my lifestyle. I travel a lot, I do this, I do that. I'm always gonna I need you with me. But see, I think for you, I guess that's the operative word you because you're on a different level now like when and you you have to have a man that can match your energy, your drive you have. You have to have a man that really that's on that type of your financial level, you know,

because you're on a total different level. But I think it's important that the message don't get mixed up for the young ladies out there who are on their on their way up, who aren't on the level of a be simone who may see that guy that that may have an action that this guy that's that has a nine to five, This guy has a lot of potential.

Because all most millionaires wasn't born millionaires. Most of these guys were broke, dead ass broke, and if a woman hadn't been able to see many of these when many women that came into their lives, girls, they came into their lives before they got money. They didn't see the vision. They couldn't see it, so they missed out. But somewhere along the line, either a woman did see it or they they got with these women later. You know, they

don't want to be a subway forever. Sometimes like a lot of well not sometimes, but a lot of times. You know, guys when they get money. The reason why a lot of guys when they do get money, they do feel like they have their pick up the letter and they do they advantage of it is because women oftentimes will not ride with them when they're on their way up, when they're struggling that there are women think the potential I'm gonna At what point does weeks ago?

At what point does a woman At what point does a woman say, okay, we out of training. Uh, you gotta have your ship together if you want to with me, like you know, when you're young, you know, I think you can take chances. But at some point, in defensive a woman and in defensive women at some point, a man gotta have a ship together like I can't, or have a desire to do that. Nobody's perfect. There's never

an end goal. I'm gonna constantly, always evolve. But if I see that you have a desire to be not just oh I want okay, you want that. I want to be a billionaire. But what am I doing to get there? You want internal piece? You want to stop being toxic? What are you doing to get there? Are you in therapy? Are you doing all the steps and things that are gonna make you a better man? If I are you applying that, I can funk with that, but most of it I want to do this. Okay,

we're not doing anything to obtain those goals. If I see you trying to obtain those goals, we can rock. So if you see some it has to be more than talk for you. Everybody want a million dollars everybody? What are you doing that? You know everybody wants success, whatever your definition of success is, But what are you doing to obtain that? That shows in character and that shows in actions. If you're doing that, great, we both

got shipped to work on. I'm not perfect, We're all human, but I'm doing the proper steps to fix my flaws. I think I like you, Yeah, me too, But the only thing, Yeah, you tell me what's in there? Did you be real quiet? Yeah? Because I'm thinking, you know, and it's it's like she's not married. I don't know. I may want to be something in life, but it's it's difficult for me to get there. And I wouldn't want her to hold that against me because the mothercker

won't give me no action. You know, it's a difference between somebody getting some action and somebody what do you mean somebody giving you action? You take action that don't work like that. That's bullshit. I don't let me tell you something, man. This is this is. This is why it don't matter to me who the President of the United States is. I mean, it does in a way that I don't wanna deal with certain people or whatever.

But at the end of the day, whether the president is a Republican or a Democrat, white, black, whatever, it don't matter. I'm gonna get mine and okay, and that's fine. Ain't waiting to give to Willie. But what I'm saying is this, okay, So all right, I want to be a rapper for example. For example, I want to be a rapper. Example, and I'm a badass rapper. Dude, I can be anybody rapping, right, if it was a rapper,

you wouldn't be good for examples, not alright not? I mean listen, So I want to be a rapper, right, I'm sucking you know, thirty eight years old. But I can't be anybody in the world rapping. I'm that fucking good. Everybody's saying this. But because I don't have the right amount of Internet followers or I don't have ship, Basically, I'm not gonna make it because the powers that be are not gonna let me in because I'm not saying shit stupid enough to get me in. See what I'm saying.

So that's the action that I'm talking about. But I'm bad as fuck, you know what. I'm everything said. Everybody's saying to God, say, you need to be able to hear the voice of God. Now is God telling you let it go? Man? God didn't told me a whole lot of and you're still trucking in the studio. I don't think you let it go at thirty I say that pushing whatever it is that you want to do, you keep on pushing it, but have enough sense to know that you need to trying. But how long have

I been? How long have I've been trying with you handing out flyers? Just here? I just got here, baby. I wouldn't he no action. I wouldn't have a man no action like what you're trying to But she, but she wo old. But her trial periods over broke. The men that early on have already had an opportunity to take those risks and take chances. When you get to be a certain age and you get on a certain level, man, he man ain't no more chancing and ship. It's happening

to take chances. You take chances for example. Okay, give me example. Where's he going with you? Is it true that you're the preacher's daughter? Yeah, my dad's a pastor. Hey daddy, is that right? Did you get in a line of trouble when you was absolutely not scared? Real? I was like, I didn't do ship. I didn't like to get whoopmans. I didn't get in trouble. I got

one whooping after that. I never did end again. What did your daddy say when he found out that you were When he found out and he was making six tapes. What do you say when your dad found out that you were doing? What did you find out you were rapping? First? So you gotta was it wild and out? Yeah? No, he everything. Yeah, just as the first time you heard me, because he was cussing in the house. To really do as I say, not as I do. That's the old school,

probably on the internet. Cool cool old school. Yeah. Is he one of the preachers that like smoke weed and drink and talk in the parking lot of the church and slapt box? If he was like that, I would not tell people My dad was a preachers, a good guy. I know preachers who fight, like actually fight people in the congregation. Like what church do you got to all go? That's a preacher? Well, actually I got cousins, and I got all the preachers and everybody. Everybody all the church

is next door to each other too. Ain't nobody to get no money? Like maybe be funny nobody to get no money? Why did you take on the family church? Why didn't you get it past? Now you become a preacher? Um? Okay, So I didn't see the truth. I didn't see the truth. I just could not us. Now here's a thing like violent if I if I I kind of lived my life like uh, put myself out there and I just

kind of like, uh go, I kind of go. I'm like you in a way, like you know, you're always taking on different challenges and you never really know exactly what that next challenge is going to be, but you're already ready to embrace it. You're always ready to embrace it. So that's kind of like how I am. So I'm not ruling out that one day I might step up there on that podium and God said, but I wouldn't be one of those types of I wouldn't be now. I would just be straight up like yeah, so y'all

think I'm playing something. I had to get real Like, look, I probably would have like eight members or something. Because people talk about they want to be real and they like realness, but they don't really want to. They want you to lie to they want you to make why not. I don't think why. I don't think it's it's not appropriate. I don't come on, dog, what about that might be kind of cool? You want about the coin don't make

you authentic? It might just slip out sometimes. If it slipped the Lord forgive me for things that I cannot control. If it slips wory of God, like fuck, you can't say that you know it was, it was, It's been on my mind. Opened up at church absolutely not. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's a good business. And and and I was going to go into business as a preacher, you know, one that had not been ordained. That's not funny. It's not funny. And I'm not having he'd have a lot

of company, you know. I haven't been our damn not ordained minister. But I can't go in there and talk Bible with the best stuff him and then put that, you know, your words put that, Yeah, I don't know that. When I'm not that good, that's the easiest. So what I'm what I'm saying, I'm just what I'm saying is this, I can I can read the word and understand what those thousand dip in art and all that ship me and just break it down and say, hey, yeah, do

that ship get the easy version? What's the easy version? King James, I don't know. You don't need to open up no church. I don't know d d the preacher year So they say I love you daddy, Pass pass around, No it's in Columbus, Ohio, from Dallas, Texas. But I live in Atlanta, Dallas. Did you grow up in uh lets and grow let's and grow Why? Why are you frowning on Oakliff? It's not my hood in a greed grove, butin ain't Augustine from If you need none out of

tend people from Dallas, they're gonna say I'm from Oakland. No, they're not. Because the sound Dallas Cliff. No Dallas out Well, I guess they're claiming oak Cliff then probably why why why why would somebody not from oak Cliffe claim oak Cliffe? Maybe I don't know. That's because your brother hoods ain't really ain't really popping, got the people that really really driven Huh, who who are you talking about? I'm just saying,

don't do that. It's like it's like if you if when you go to these different cities and stuff, it's like the parts of town, like the areas of the towns where it's often most like poverty stricken, bring out the best people. He's like to create the best politicians, the football players, the rappers trying to get out, you know, the lawyers, the doctors. It seemed like it's a high concentration coming from those poverties stricting areas well. I can't.

I don't. I'm not even gonna have the pitty story like I grew up in poverty. My granny still live in the middle of the hood. Don't get me wrong. We heard gun shots and ship and like whatever. It ain't that my business. But I didn't feel like I grew up in poverty. Like I had a great trail to the golf course and the neighbor what's the name of that golf course. It's the golf course over there, the golf course in the hood. I can't remember the name.

Nobody here playing golf. That's not true. A lot of people in the neighborhood playing golf where I was from. Remember, they're not getting you know, you're not gonna go and run. Who wasn't playing golf? They got another word for that too. I heard it about a year ago. They don't. Did you did that? Huh? She didn't do that. Her daddy was a preacher. That was just harmless fun. I wasn't like doing bad stuff like hiding your seeks. Yeah, did

daddy allow you to say? Uh? I didn't really date till I graduated, I had like yeah, I didn't have like boyfriends. I had one boy. Dad talked too, but no, I don't think he was against it, but he wasn't like your dad had a deep as voice. Hello? Who? Who? Who? Did? Are you talking about my? Well? We want to know like it's important us. Fatherhood is the bestood A minister's fatherhood. And you got I met your one son? You got any more kids? I got a few. He's been leaving

Let's yeah, let's let's go ahead, baby Willy Willie. I'm telling you, man, man with the name Willie? Okay, what's your household? Know?

The name Willie is why you're not mature? Your mature and is willing to ask your question? Is Willie? Old man? Name? My dad? And ain't Willie? My name was with name Willie, but it's but it's also an old lady name. Take this out this out. I was, I was at I

was at the doctor. I was at the doctor's office, like maybe it's just before my son was born, right, And the receptionists you know, got on speaking said Willie, and I thinking it's me, and she's and then she said Willie Sutton and this old black ladies stood up and I was like, I'm damn sure not naming my son Willie. That's that's what made me not name my son Willie. Yeah, I was like, yeah, two years old, the name Willie old. It wasn't old at the time.

At the time, you know, at the time it was hip, you know. But here's the thing about he was two years old, Willie called Willie to So where did they called me in there when you're younger? Yeah, I don't know, big dub du that's what you thinking. Like my granny Shirley, Like he was two years old with the name Shirley. Man, that's an older person name, yo, I might have to go to that fucking shoulder, Like, bro, say, man, yeah,

how did you get brad Man? Anyway? Bro, don't do my mom want to make sure you didn't know if I was black or why she wanted if all else I had a job will right, Yeah, with a name like Willie, we knew you was black in the like so alsa on applicated, like yeah, yeah, that is so funny. Here's the thing, though, if I had my options, I would want you to know because I'll be like, I don't give a I'm abuck the system, like I get it.

I'm gonna get it no matter. I'm not gonna buck the system to the extent that I would want my name to be Willie d just d Oh. I thought this did for something. Your last name is just D Willie last name D. What Willie last name d? D? The liturgy? Yeah, yeah, ac, why are you playing here? I'm telling you all right? So yeah, yeah, don't do the last named Dennis? Yeah, Dennis the menace? Yeah? How long? How long was it that you stayed in Dallas? So

my childhood, I moved to Columbus, Ohio. My dad was from there, and I came back to Dallas my senior year, and then I just moved to Atlanta when I was like, so I've been in Atlanta, like, oh six years. It's fun at what point. Do you get the comedy buzz um on social media? I think my first video went I didn't even want to do comedy. I wanted to

do music and acting. I always knew I want to do entertainment, but social media I went viral two thousand and sixteen and then started making videos, and around then they were like, okay, you know, y'all, you can do a show here in to college. What clip was that nice? What? What clip contributed to the um? It was a boy video video about f boys. It's not, but um it was.

I had my heart broke in and I just made a rant like, you know what, you'll f boys if you don't want to treat us women right, just stay away from us, blahlah blah blah. And it was just too relatable so it went all over the nothing. No he saw it. He follows me on Instagram. I'm an adult. Okay, you tweeted recently, what what I A doing? Go find yourself before you start FFing up other people's lives. L O L If you're not walking in your truth, don't

bring your weird task over here. Male or female. Now that's an under rated statement by that and true as hell, very important, you know, I feel like people don't walk

in who they truly truly are. Like you're in a monogamous relationship and you have no desire to be faithful, then don't be in a monogamous relationship, or you believe in polygamy, but you're dating a woman who wants to be married, Like, I just think you should just walk in your truth, whatever you truly desire, not what society wants for you, not what your mom and dad want for you, not what your cousin. What do you want

for you? And you should walk in that as long as you're not being an evil person, like be who you want to be, don't you know? I think that's what messes people up, mess up relationship friendships. Like you're trying to make everybody around you happy, make yourself happy and walk in your truth, and people who are down with it can be in your life, and people who aren't can choose to move on. And what is walking in your truth looks like? Well, finding yourself. I'm still

finding myself and I'm thirty one. I learned something new about myself all the time. But I'm on a journey with you know, self healing, growing, figuring, out who Braidley Greenfield is not just who be Simone is who is a partial character, you know, and being myself. If I feel something, I am that person. Who I am on the internet is pretty much who I am in real life. Like I'm very vulnerable and open, and I think just being honest with your flaws and the ship you need

to work on. People know they're fucked up, but they have no desire to fix it. That's a problem. But don't you have to save something for yourself? And it's really like a personal give me Like what do you mean, Like for instance, like, um, on the internet, I can come off and oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, people say, well Willie d real Man, Yeah, but that's so much more to me, yeah yeah yeah. I don't

think everything needs to be on the internet. I'm talking more about intimate relationships, whether it's a friend and whether it's a partner, Like I feel like that person should know you. They should know your demons so they don't have to dig them up five years from now, like you know, put it on the table. These are my problems. This is what I have to work on, and I'm not perfect. I love you, but this is who I am. I think too many people try to hide who they are,

and it sucks up other people's lives, you know. You know, so toxic relationships are a thing. Yeah, like I know, it's it's it's that's always been toxic relationships, but I think today people have normalized. Yeah yeah, they pointing guns at their it's crazy and what you're doing and the next thing you know, they're kissing. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, nobody does that. Well, you have to

grow out of that. It's your environments, the people around you. Like, I've been in toxic not even relationships, situation ships before the men wouldn't Yeah, like, I'm not your girlfriend. I think I am in mind, but you ain't committed to me. You know, I've been there. I was young, I'm still young. But you know, you have to have people around you. You have to grow, you have to want better. Like it's a mindset shift. It's your circle to like people

around you will keep you in that toxic environment. True story. And I think the reason why a lot of times people do that is because they don't know any better. They don't know any better. You don't know any better, or you think this is as good as it gets or do you think this is normal? Every relationship is

like this normal? Absolutely not true exactly, you know, because I've been in those type of relationships in the past where you get into these arguments and stuff like that, and you you have you have these moments where you find yourself saying, damn, you know, I'm grateful that we didn't have an argument to that we got through the whole day, we didn't even we didn't even have an argument. And for me now it's like, man, if if if I got to go through something like that, like I'm

not doing it like I want to say. People say all the time, you have to work on a relationship. Well, I don't want to work on a relationship. I'll invest in a relationship, but I'm not gonna work on a relationship. Already got a job, you know. Sometimes, like when you have a job, sometimes you don't feel like working. Yeah, right, Sometimes as much as you love what you do, sometimes you just don't feel like getting up doing it. Well, when you're in a relationship, you don't have an off button.

That person I wants you to do what they want you to do and be how they want you to be at all times like you, at all times you're on call, and so you don't get a break. You don't get that break. So I don't want to work on a relationship set we get on should be a hundred hundred. Everybody can't. You can't, we can't give. We gotta of a hundred to make that ship work, you know what I mean. And and and it shouldn't be

a fight. If she want to go to if she want to go to the grocery store, and will you got to get up and go to the grocery store too, you know what I mean, it's not a fight. And it shouldn't be a fight. And and and you know, I looked. I saw that Willie where they where they get up there and they talk ship to each other. They she breaked the windows on his car. He slapped the ship out of her. You know that ship don't

work for me? Man, Like that's not cool. Yeah. I think that people oftentimes get into these relationships and and it's like, well I'll do this if you do this, I do this, if you do that, you want me to do this, but you didn't do this for me. And and I just think that people that keep scoring relationships are part of a losing tradition, and so I would not. I'm just not relationship donna be that type to like, yeah we we we we either it either works or it doesn't work. Just like you know, I'm

sure that you had. You got friends that you disagree with, your debate with from time to chip, but you don't damn arguing. You don't walk around on eggshells and they don't speak to each other for days and all that kind of stuff. That's weird. Have you ever been in a relationship like that before? When I was younger, I feel like I dealt with a lot of things that lacked self love and I let a lot of things slide. Yeah, and I'm just not like that anymore. Like I compromise,

and you know, like you shouldn't have to compromise. I compromise on a lot of things. Like a lot of men I they have children like you have baggage. I don't. I don't have kids like now I have to, you know. Or a lot of men outdated you know, could make less money than me, which is not an issue at all, as long as you could keep up the lifestyle I want to keep up like cool, I can compromise on a lot of things. I just have to non negotiables. And when that happens, I have to walk away. That

is self love to me. I have my boundaries. I set them in. When you break my boundaries, it doesn't matter. I have to walk I'm not married, I don't have a house with you. We don't have drink bank accounts, I don't have anything invested, you know, but time, of course. But I walk away when my non negotiables are happened. And what are those two non negotiables? Um, physical abuse in cheating? Those are my too. So okay, let's let's go to cheating. Okay. Do you think that men are

inherently teeters? No? Yes, inheritedly do you think so? Why do you think man? Willie? Listen, No, I don't think that. Check this out. So every male species on this earth has a partner. It's called a pillar and a post. Right, He's like, I'm ready, like like you got a bull

in the yard. Okay, I don't terminal. He's like when the grass is green, up, snakes a slippery clothes And my grandma used to say, if it's too much sugar in the pot, I'm like, what the are you talking about You gotta start a pot with a spoon, not like man, we're listening like I'll understand. I don't want to ask you. I don't understand. You got a bull

in the yard. You got all these helpers around this bull, like a bull of one bull a cow one day and then two days later he'll be on the back of another cow, and then another car you just hit the day before, be watching him hit that one. Feelings? Okay? Are you a human being or man? Rotten animal or human being? What's the difference? I ain't walking around working like like like I like like an animal. Got gotta set a nuts, right. Okay, well here's nothing, vagina. Right

back to the tweet. Listen, No, brandy, man, let's go back to the tweet. Walk in your truth. If you if we made an agreement to be in a monogamous relationship, you make an agreement to being in the money because relationship in the first place, that's my point. Just say it. If you don't, Yes, we're committed to each other. You know what I'm saying right now. No, I'm just saying like, like, the man makes that decision. The man makes the decision

to get married. The man makes the decision to be monogamous. When I mean when he says, will you be my girlfriend? That's not how that ship go. It is how I want for me. You know, I've never asked. I don't even require that. You know. What I'm saying is that it's kind of just we just kind of that's how hearts get broken in that. But you're the right. I like your way of thinking. Letter. Are we together about your your wants? And if you need not believe you

could be monogamous, then don't be with me. I'm so in a monogamous relationship. But yeah, that I guess, I guess it's possible. Yeah, that goes back to the tweet. Just walk in your truth. If you don't believe men deserve to have one woman, then don't be in a monogamous relationship. Find somebody that believes in that, and find somebody that believes in the same truth. Okay, I think relationships are so simple. Date people with the same moral

same core value, same standards, and same beliefs. Men are dating women that want to be in monogamous marriages and you have no desire to get married, what then are you all together? That'll make sense to me. You believe in polygamy and she believes in monogamy. Why are y'all dating? Go find a bit I believe in polygamy. Like, if you have said out of your mouth, I am going to be in a committed relationship, I'm not going to step out on you. I know that. If you're not negotiable,

then I require you to live in that. If you don't, if that's not your truth, then we don't have too Nobody says that, well, yes, absolutely, they say that. That's like, that's like junior high school. It's absolutely not the last relationship I was in. It asked, Yes, he had these conversations. Absolutely not, So what do you say you're my girlfriend? Relationship? Yes, that was right there, But you have to ask him.

Did you ask him what are we doing? No? I said whenever whatever, And until you asked me to be in a relationship with you, we're not together. Soon after you made that statement, did he ask to be? And that ship was? You knew that she was together year? Then he cheated and I was out. Uh, you never cheated on the man before. I've only had two boyfriends in your life, and they all cheated on me. Yes, what are you doing that's making the man runoff and cheat? Well,

she's only had two boyfriends. I mean odds are you know? Yeah? I had two boyfriends. Okay, Well you may be missing the point. What is the point? Something you have to this point is that he don't believe that a man can be faithful, and he shouldn't say he's going to be I don't say that. Ship you don't. You don't see. But I disagree with you, Brad. And here's why I have experience and being faithful. I don't think outside my house as long as I was, but it was only

it was twice. How long were the relationships? Like a year? I was faith for the whole time. That was Yeah, I mean I think that's a long that's I think. I think that's a good run for a man. That is not good. No, it wasn't. It wasn't that I called a cheating or anything. It's it's like both of these women were like, uh, this is when I was broke. They was like, you ain't making no money, you ain't

got no money? Yeah, straight up. Look when this this girl that I was dating, uh, this is like maybe like one year before we broke out, this woman came to me, man, and and and said, you know, I want to talk to you. So she said, look, I think we need to start seeing other people because you ain't never got no money. Every time we go somewhere, I have to pay. I said, you ain't bother number some goddamn Popeye's chicken and some damn McDonald's. What do

you mean like every time? Yeah, but I got the pen and then I have to drive all the way on this side of town and use my own gas money. And I was like, okay, see you. And she was that's it. You ain't got nothing nothing south saying now because you've already made up your mind that you can do without men. And I say, once you crossed that line, I'm good and and look, and I was actually in love with this girl. So so after that she went

her way. I went my way. And like one year later, man, one year later, we were actually we played we played Gucci's nightclub, right, Remember when we played Gucci's and it was wall it was wall to wall, I mean people everywhere. And at first concert in Houston, right, it was it was it was no no, this is in the fifties. I wasn't around it just keep waking up. You're gonna eat those words, keep waking up. Yeah, So we had guccies.

It's jamping girls all up in front of grabbing for my leg and all this is stuff, and yeah, we performed on stage. Is killing it right and kicking in the head. And then and then I look out into the audience and the bar is like maybe a third of the way into the club, so I can see her at the bar, the girl that left you. Yeah, I can see that at the bar, and she's standing

next to this Puerto Rican dude. They stand out because you know, this chick was really light skinned and he was he was a Puerto Rican due, so they stand they kind of stood out, you know, in the audience. And I could see this look on her face. She had this sad look on her face. And I had heard the dude was putting hands on so she left me to go with him because this dude was you know, buying her the purses and and the shoes and all this stuff. So you know, end up, you know, her

life with that dude. The dude end up getting killed. And you know, she had the baby by herself, and she went from that dude to another dude, and she finally caught a snap because she actually was raised in a good household. Her mom and dad were really good people. But she wanted to run. She wanted to get out

there and and and get the purses. And she was a tennis tennis shoe chaser, tennis shoot that yeah, chicken that chase athletes and rap the boys, you know, like we were so yeah, so that's what happened with that, and and you know, but but but but it was but it was a good it was a good learning experience for me. And so I know what I'm capable of doing. And I think and even now, like I know that I can be faithful today even more because

I don't have time for the bullshit. Yeah, like I'm not trying to go to the other side of town, you know, to to movies and catching and walking into walking to the rest and trying to make sure you don't a body recognize me and all questions. So it's cheating, Like it's cheating going out with somebody else that cheating or is it just the act with somebody else? Like yeah, I think like being seen with somebody else's cheat. Yeah, I think, I think, I think cheating is defined by intention.

That's bullshit, man. And then and then it's it's because different people have different levels of Some people say, you know, some people will go and like like pictures and stuff on on Instagram, and some people think that's a problem. It may not be cheating to some people. But it's like it's like, what's making you click? Like, you know what's making you click. You didn't click on the picture where she had where she was that would with a with a friends she was that exactly. Yeah, you didn't

click on that picture. But now she she busting it wide open and she's working, and now you're clicking on it. So it's like it's a matter of intentions. What's inappropriate. Well, what's inappropriate one person may not be inappropriate to the to the other. You have open conversations with your spouse, go ahead, keep on keeping. Maybe you're true. You're killing it on on the comedy scene, like when are we gonna get some more music? I don't know if I'm

ever in music. I'm not either, but but you you you are extremely Nope, my girl, man, I'm not my girl be smone the microphone. I'm not laughing at that. I need to get back in the studio with y'all. Ask are we getting it? Is the only way I come out of the time. Man, if I can do something, you think we that old? I don't know. You were talking about bulls and I was like, lall, oh, man, how in the hell a person hang out with you on the phone? Are you do? You do? You? Do

you find any type of moment? While I had a like a memorial, Yes, I have serious moments. If you went, if you ever laughed at the funeral, I don't. I've only been to a funeral when I was younger. I'm sorry you never you don't go to funeral, la, I haven't never had to go to one. You haven't had anybody close to you? To god, No, that's that's good man. That's since I was younger. I was that's good. That's a good run to not have anybody close to you.

So all of your grandparents are still My dad's father actually passed away, but we were close. But I was on tour, I was I was out the country or out I couldn't make it. It It was last minute funeral, but that was yeah, yeah, but no, I haven't had to go in for funeral scoy be to God. Yeah, but I had serious moments. I'm not always goofy. I'm

really actually serious a lot of the time. Well I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure because I know a lot of comedians, because I noticed that it's not always, you know, funny and I'm really true. It used to be like when you when you do get serious, how do you let people around you know that, Hey, I ain't working around right now, I'm serious. Like do you have to do as a comedian you have to take an extra step to convey your serious I mean I just I get quiet. Okay, Yeah,

I'll just be I'm really chill. I'm not like wild all the time I used to be. And when was this a couple of years ago? Just getting a robe and watching Netflix? You know, no, I never did that. I did not do that. Let's get into your business business. We got a new personal stuff. Let's get into a business species. How do you juggle so many different enterprises? Um? I think you know having a team. I have a great team. I have a lot of people that help me.

You can't do everything on your own. I'll try to do that at the beginning. You want to do the graphic, you want to do that. You want to save money, you don't want to pay people to do other stuff, and you run yourself ragged. Like delegating work helps a lot, finding a team you trust, and um, yeah, I have a lot of stuff I want to do, Like I have a cosmetic line. Beam beauty. Some my lips right now, be someone beauty. It's a cosmetic line. So I see cosmetic.

Let us see what it looks. Yeah, I gotta get you all my blog. You know what vogging is? What is it? It's a millennial thing. Hang, be sm beauty, get it for your girl. You old lady. I'm just playing. So yeah, I'll give you all some but yeah, cosmetics make up? Hey that old? Yeah, but you know what for real, all jokes aside, all levity aside. Y'all look really good. Y'all look healthy. That is important when you are. Y'all gotta keep that ship up. Your skin look good,

nice smile. You've got glasses. But I'm sure that's all that's wrong? Are we doing? The diamond is helping to let's keeping you young, gen good, good, edge up. You got a hairline? B So yeah, beat someone beauty, beat someone fits. And I'm on YouTube, so I'm vogging showing my life. I would love to do a documentary one day. That would be easy, because that would be easy. You know, earlier it came to be, you said you're gonna be a millionaire, and what is it? Two years or two months?

I wanted to be a millionaire? Was the manifest question? Explain that. I just think, you know, I grew up Christian. We talked about my dad being a pastor. I'm very spiritual. I'm not too stern on religion, but I do believe in power of the tongue that's in the word, and that's all manifestation is to me, having faith and speaking the things you wanted to existence and working towards that. You know, faith, what that works is dead, so you do have to work towards your goals. And that's what

I did on my million dollar journey. I had I think it was like fifty days. I was like close to me and I was like, I'm not a millionaire yet. So I did hella ship to not raise the money I worked toward. I did stuff on Instagram. I sold my car. I think they gave me like nine hundred dollars for that little Toyota. It was a Toyota like the last car, and uh what, I sold my car a million dollar journey, So I had fifty days to get like three hundred thousand dollars and then that made

me a mill in there. What what you on some type of show or something. No, I did it. I showed my journey on YouTube for my fans and stuff because I wanted to be a millionaire. Way yeah, but I had thirty days to my thirtieth birthday and I want to pay a millionaire about my thirties birthday, right, So I just did you know? I was just winning the overdrive. But we made happen. It was really cool. It was really cool to watch it. It's on YouTube if you want to watch it. I did it last year.

So yeah, I hit it on my birthday, a week before my birthday, seven days before I turned thirty. That's cool. Come out with a buck. Yeah, dream didn't seen it. Yeah, I made that ship happen. Cool, It was cool. That's big. Yeah, you came to town for that first of all. It's like, that's hats off. Been doing it for a long time and it's my second one. I came, well, not last year. Because I COVID the one before that. Yeah, Trey is

an amazing person. His heart is so great. I just had to show here in Houston a couple of months ago. He came out supported. He's just a great guy. He's he's gonna show up. He's gonna he's gonna show up and show up. Yeah, and so yeah, we we really do appreciate having him, uh, you know, and represent the

city so well. Yeah, do you have your own charity? No. I actually it's crazy that you brought this up, because I was talking to my accountant and financial advisor about starting a nonprofit that is a long not a well not long term, but I would love to do that in the next year or two, start a nonprofit for young girls, because I believe, like the things I know now, a lot of stuff I wasn't raised this way, and I feel like if you instill that into young girls

at an earlier age, they don't have to go through a lot of that I went through, like, you know, like just the self love aspect and your feelings, the word anxiety and depression. And I didn't even start having those conversations until I was an adult. And I feel like that's important for kids. You know, kids are out here getting bullied, they're committing suicide eight years old. How are you eight years old and you want to take

your life? Yeah? You know so, and so I just think instealing what I've learned about self love and manifestation and being positive and changing your mindset as an adult, instealing that into children at a younger age. So I would love to do something like that. Absolutely. Yeah. Do you have a therapist? I do? I do. I actually went through I have more of a relationship coach. Now I'm on. She's not. She doesn't like being called a therapist. But I had a therapist. I went through three therapists

and I fired all three of them. It didn't They didn't work for me as well. But now I'm in relationship coaching, like self healing stuff, trying to get you know, myself right. Why do you think they didn't work for you? Um? I think there's a million therapists out there, and you keep trying until you find the one that feels right in your spirit. You know, I think you it wasn't just about trying to find one that would agree with you. No, no,

and that's not really like at therapy, don't even do that. Really, they just let you talk event to talk to dig up unhealed trauma, wounds, things you haven't dealt with that you just brush under the rug. So you don't want to do that. That's good. It's the worst thing you can do is tell somebody what you're thinking. Yeah, I think therapy is so healthy. Is there like one of those traumatic experiences? Go home and tell everybody about that

you will share with our audience. I'm like trying to think. I mean, I went through ship with my step mom. Me and my mom aren't that close. Like I've talked about this publicly. It's not a secret. But I don't have any like huge, huge like trauma. But I think little things like that happens to you when you're young and you just look over it. You don't even know what affects you as an adult. Like certain ways that you have are certain things that you do. You're like, damn, Like,

I'm actually like this because of my dad. I'm actually like this because of you know. I think it's good to be self aware and acknowledge those things and figure out why you are the way you are in hell from things that you dealt with as a child. So what do we just didn't get along like she just wasn't you know she was just a mean stepmother. Yeah, I mean I was a kid, she was an adult,

you know, so we just we didn't see eye. Did she have other kids, Yeah, she had two children and they lived with y'all y and so she treated them special, treated them better than let me be your therapist. And you know what's crazy. Therapists don't even they don't even really talk. You do want to talk in you know that? Yeah, yeah, have you ever been a therapy? No, I went. I went early, but let me back up, you could probably

enjoy it. I didn't go to a therapist, but I did go to a psychologist when I was like first grade, first grade? I wouldn't you remember that fighting? And yeah, it was it was. They tried to put me on prozac and my mom was like, prozac back then, we'll come on whatever whatever the hell was it was, they should try to put me on that. Yeah, they tried to. They try to put me on an antidepressant and my mom was like, nah, you're not getting you're not you're

not taking it. Yeah, And I'm glad. I'm glad she stood up for me. Yeah, because because I don't I believe that stuff, that that stuff should be a last reason of absolute Yeah. Yeah, I think I think therapy for the black community and mental health should be talking about more. I have only been talking about this for a couple of years. If that, there's no reason I shouldn't have known depression, anxiety, mental health. They're all these things. At a younger age, it is taboo. I don't need

to talk to nobody. Okay, you know, cool, but you do. Yeah. I think it's healthy for the black community, and I think it's important that we talk about it more and make it normal. Well, some people use that's that mental health as a crutch though, you know, like some people will will say, well you know that's because I diagnosed this. Yeah, yeah, you know that you have it. No. Never, not that I can remember precisely, not that you can remember remember.

Let me hear youse the win when Willie? So, I do I have permission? You're not friends at all each other? Do I have on to be candid? Go ahead? Candid? Okay? Never, that's the question again, exactly like I never used we don't know each other? I used I never used my mental health as a crutch, Willie, I think that I've been diagnosed for sure. What have you been diagnosed with? Mental health issue? Okay, so different? You know what I give you that you never use it as a crutch.

You just fucking used it. Come on, Willie, that's not true. Thing, Willie. Well, here's the thing. I think people don't know what's wrong with them because they're not doing the work to figure it out. I know exactly what you do. Do you think people need to do the worst? Come get him? Man, you know what's wrong with you, but you don't know what's wrong with him. Yeah, you ain't seen nobody since six. You are eighty five. You need to see somebody. I'm

not close close hopefully, but get that. But I do want to get that. No, I think it's healthy. Why do you think it is? It's healthy? Why do you think it is? Like when I when I let me just say this, when I was growing up, we I don't remember young people like in droves, like making comments about older people being old, like making jokes about it about people. And I said like like like now not like today, Like it's very pervasive today. Like it's like

I'm just saying it's out there it's everywhere. It's it's like people talk about uh today, like everybody's young this young this young this young this, and you know, I remember my son one day. Nobody's old that I remember my son. I remember my son being uh like uh when he was four fourteen and his sister was eighteen, and he was talking about one of his sister's friends and he said, yeah, I mean, dad, she's she's really old. I mean she's like twenty one. I was like, what

the hell if she's old? I am a Methuselah, you know, like damn. But but a lot of the youngsters many they just be like just riding on. Older people even have to be old. You know, you could be like right now, right now, I can guarantee you probably have said that you were, Oh you're thirty years old. I'm like, yeah, you thirty one. I can guarantee you that's somebody that's forty one or sixty one that will swap places with herb and never complain. Yeah, y'all got to stop riding on?

Where were you trying to get to? Old? Will you always say when we like like brand you the oldest, what you'd be saying about me behind your back in my face. He's the oldest one, like he's man, you like you you're getting old? Like you know you Damn Man, we was at the restaurant and you said, um, it's the same he's saying you you you're the oldest young person. I know? Are you always? Are you acting like you older? What did you say? Man? It's probably something like that,

probably both because I have said that before too. It's like your oldest youngest person. I know. He said, like I know how to get older. I'm getting old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that particular point I was saying, like Brad, I think I said something along the lines of you got that old old ship down, Pat, you know, like you know, like he got the old man. He's ready to be an old man because he got he got all the stands down, Pat. How old is old? How do you

think you find Google? But do you think it was sixty? Probably sixty five And that's old. That's not old ship, that's old. Yeah. Well old is the mindset if you're healthy. The older people that be healthy and lit and stuff. You know, people be lit like healthy lit as in like lively happy. And I think I think that's true because a lot of times when people say I'm old, it's they're usually slump that ye yeah, yeah, yeah, something's aching or something like that. Yourself. I've never heard an

active person say I'm old. Yeah, facts don't know how old they are. I've never heard an active person said, well, you know, i'm old. I'm old, lively and healthy and happy. It's a mindset, that's a body set. I'm old. You got When young girls come up to you and try to solicit advice from you, how how do you respond to that without like basically giving a million dollar consultation for free? Yeah no I don't. I just literally say

to yourself. And it sounds so cliche, but the older you get, the more you realize the cliches are the truth. Be yourself, never give up, like all that stuff is real. To be yourself thing is what got me to this point. Be yourself, like, don't try to follow the crowd, don't try to do what everybody else is doing. Stay true to you and really, you know, dig deep and find who you are and walking that Like I'm so big

on that. Yeah, just really really be yourself. That's what these young girls, neither trying to be all the stuff they see on the Internet and even me, Like I'm scrolling and I see certain things. I'm like, I don't even want that. Like, it's just, you know, you're seeing stuff every day and you gotta really stay true to who you are, not what everybody else is doing. Yeah. Yeah, How do you feel about the Instagram models? Like? And what?

And what? I feel like? I'm I was a part of or still you know, I still model clothes, I get paid. You had to deal with Savage, Finti and fashion Ova. Technically I was an Instagram model. How do you feel about the models that where next to nothing? Um, I think that's their prerogative if they're you know, I don't really have an opinion on that. If you go through my page, just some pictures I have on next to nothing, Like, I think it's a time and a

place and just do what you want to do. Do you think you have any responsibility to the young girls who look up to you? Um? I have a responsibility to be myself and as long as I'm not hurting anybody and doing anything wrong intent into my core, if my core is pure, I think I have a responsibility to tell the truth. But some people will argue that if a young girl sees you have naked that it does harm. It does hurt her because she she's taken on a certain perception of what a woman is supposed

to be. Absolutely, but if that is who I am in that moment, I'm walking in my truth. I'm not. I'm not covering up. I'm not wearing turtlenecks. Be simone walking in her truth does not always have one long sleeve. So that that's who I am in that moment. It doesn't make it right or wrong. It makes it truthful. M that's some good ship. You just said, Yeah, yeah, that's good. Did you practice that? I didn't. I didn't

know what you're gonna ask. I just I think even in my stand up, I talk a lot about my spirituality, and I talk a lot about how I'm living. You know, I'm not a nun. I'm not a prophet. I'm not Buddha. I'm not you know, I'm just here too. I don't know. Maneuver through life the best way I can and beat myself along the way, and I'll constantly grow, I'll constantly evolved. I'm sure there's pictures that I post today at thirty one, and I might look back at seventy and be like,

what was you doing? Young girl? But this is who I am right now, you know. So we're all on a journey to grow. I think everybody should find out who they are and you just have to be on a drone. Who am I? Who are you? I'm confused and listening to her, I'm kind of trying to start to get it, like, I'm I'm right now, I'm not

walking in my truth. Bro. I'm over here, man, and my truth is there, and I need to get over I need to get back over in here in truth, bro, real man, Like I'm fucking confused, man, Like and then what else you was walking here? But when now she's here? Man, I'm catching it, like I'm starting to walk in my truth when I get up and I walk away from this fucking table and my head towards that door. Just no walking in my truth, Willie. I'm that's good man,

That's life. I'd be confused, ship confused up until I got down and had a chance to sit down and listen to y'all talk. Bro. I'm walking into my fucking truth, Willie, And your truth can change. I'm not I was a year ago, like you're gonna evolve, You're gonna change. But people be like, well that's not what you said. Well, nigga, I'm not the same person I was last year. The same I'm not the same person I was fifteen minutes ago. Like I'm walking in my fucking truth. Bro. Have you

had your COVID shot? No, I'm not getting that. Why not scared? Did me too? I almost died from COVID. No, mine wasn't that bad. To the hospital? Sorry was it? Did you get COVID during COVID announced? Did you catch it? Like? I got it before they knew what that ship was? Like Willie came to the hospital, man and the end on the space suit, But now they had they wasn't scared. He just walked. They just made him put on his

space suit. Yeah, you couldn't play with him. It was like they had him like in this damn it's oversized incubator or something. It was like it was glass like all around and the doctors would walking by and they would look looking at them over like point like he was a project. Oh I'm glad you're okay. Yeah, me too. I just couldn't taste her smell. I wasn't sick. I was sick. I wanted to take before you got your tasting smells. I love food, Yeah, but I couldn't breathe

for two weeks. I couldn't swallow for two weeks. I couldn't hold food down for two weeks. I'm glad you're okay. I lost my kidneys, did you Sorry? Yeah, I'm on dialysis four days a week. But is he telling the truth and my son is my donor are we going in and get that done? Yeah? You're not telling the truth, Chris. I'm telling you you Willie, don't lie for your friends. And I'm tello Chris. Yeah, Look, she's going to plugs right here. It's a beautiful story. Heave me and she's

gonna love me as kidney. No, No, I don't want to have it. I don't want to have it. I don't want to have it. I don't want to have it. I want to I want to get it and I'm done. We're gonna get that ship to somebody else, or you can have it back, you know. And but I think since we're having this discussion, I think Chris reserves the right to not give you the kidney. Uh, if you don't want to give it to you based on how

you treat him. So if I you know, I think that from Willie, you know really, you know you got the brand man get about hunting stacks or something, cup hundreds, you know, couple hundred. Turn this guy right here, he already got a couple of hundred stacks from me. Another couple of hundred for the kidney. We're kidney going for these days. Motherfucker's is expensive for you. They're gonna ask for five ship for kidney. Ain't trying to get me put This is why, this is why I'm proud to be.

You need to let me tell you something. No, I don't think we'll match where a match, but let me tell you this. You never realize how much you need your kidneys until you don't have them, and they detoxified everything in your body. And if they're not working, then your your body is maintaining the toxins and fluids and ship that you can't uh survive with. It's cold blooded. But and the reason why I'm a strong advocate for people taking this COVID vaccine is because I don't want

nobody to go through what I went through. And some people say it's mild. You know, some people say they've had mild symptoms of this, and other people died from died from it. So it goes from one extreme to the next. Yeah, you know what I mean, like like from zero to a hundred real things, and and to avoid to for someone to avoid getting that sick to me that could possibly die. Yeah, and I'm gone, So I'm probably gonna have to end up hitting it anyway.

I would, and I would. I would definitely stay away from people and wear that mask, you know what I mean. Like you said that don't wear it. You should wear that mask. Even if you are vaccinatey or have had that, you can still get it. You can still get that ship. But but it'll it will avoid you know, you're you're dying and having to be hospitalized or you know, losing an oregon like I made my heart failed up with fluid, Willie. I told you that, m Yeah, my heart feeled up

with florida. Had to cut me open and drain drain the secondmart Bro. And I was been with that ship for maybe two years, you know, and my doctor said I was willing myself to live because it was a two to six month time period, you know, what the fluid on your heart? It's just it's just crazy. So that's the only reason why I was asking did you take that COVID vaccine? Because it's I would and I wouldn't be scared to take that ship. Did you get it? No,

really didn't get it. No, not me. That's him with all these explanations and ship it. Yeah, I gonna let you know if they say you can't go overseas, I'm gonna get it. Well I'm not. I wouldn't play with it. I mean like I mean, I don't know if you saw the story as a guy who who who? He tweeted. I think he tweeted a post on Instagram that he had problems but vaccination wasn't one and he died of COVID. He recently died of COVID. I don't think it's something

that COVID is something to play with. But I'll tell you some funny ship though. Willie called me one night about one o'clock in the morning and he was asking me about the COVID and he was paring up because he thought he had the COVID. And I never heard panic and Willie's voice until that day. And I've been knowing Willie. I don't recall. Oh god damn Willie. Oh goddamn Willie. Don't. I don't recall, Willy, don't. Okay, I don't recall. What kind of I don't. I don't want

no snaps. You like to eat from here? Absolutely? Okay? So what's the best place to eat? I bet it carry you though? Oh you eat fish shines popping the Sunshine video. Sunshines is vegan. Oh that's fire. They bring the snacks in here, don't bring no snacks. He's like, why can people get in contact with you? Not in contact with see you?
