Chinese hate crime people are listening to us right now. They have other things to do, like what I don't know, probably like making Louis v than banks or on the civic were shortage in vehicles right now? A lot of things. Yeah, yeah, So how is he living with the African known as the African King of Comedy, Michael Blackson? Was he always a funny kid? Or you know? That is such a great question because I think it was really a surprise to all of us. Um Well, Michael decided that he

thought he was funny. Yeah, because I remember, like in high school, his big thing was Big Daddy King, like you can't tell him he wasn't big Daddy King. He walked around like you know. It was so funny because everybody thought he because he wore the nicest pull of people thought, oh he was a drug dealer, but he

was really a piece of dealer. He worked pizza, but nobody knew because you know, he kind of hit that part because if you in Philadelphia, I always say it's one of the most segregated cities because if you're downtown, you really don't know what's going on very well. So nobody really from the name heard you all. But then I remember, you know, when he was finished high school, we started telling jokes and you know, he would tell me some of them and I would laugh just in support. Um.

You know, I didn't think he would take it seriously. Um, So of course I helped him write some of his jokes and stuff and gave him his humor. Um. Yeah, and I wrong, no wonder, No, I mean, you have to try the jokes on people. But one thing I think I admire was that he didn't give up. He kept trying. Um. I think the one thing my mom was like, My mom was like, um, you can't you know you have to go to school, you have to get some kind of trades. I think he went to

craft Institute and got to travel industry kind of earlier. Yeah, well I did, Yeah I did. I went to school to work, Travis, because that's how he used to pick up girls, Like, Hey, I got a buddy pass. You know what I mean? That was? That was no do you just I could give you a buddy pass, a standby ticket to But he you know, he did his He did his thing comedy. So you guys, are you a lot about sports? Oh my god, you know you know when I was a kid, I still got this

Remember hitting me in the head. I don't even know what Michael friend, friend, Michael always, Michael always, he has these strings? Can you do that? Always? I had a fight with my sister him with a frying pan and Hicky. Still I do not do not recall senate one day so I would not have this tarnish in my record. That never had my hi right that he must have. That's from one of his ex girlfriends. That whatever, you scarred me, nigger, she was a fighter in high school.

That's not true. It's not true. That's not true. That's not true. Great, well, that's not that's not that's not that's not true. Michael is technically older than our my her, so I don't know what he's talking about. First of all, I came to America with my mom first. Mike came like three years later. So um and I remember um when he you know when he came, So we were close in age, we probably like two years or whatever apart. He is older. Um, yes, he's he's older than my mom.

We grew up of course, Um Newark, New Jersey and funny story. That's our first boy, we're funny. Before we got to Philadelphia, right, my mom had to well, first of all, Um had to work so we can save enough money to be able to move to Philadelphia and get our own place, because before

them were lived in like people's basement, different stuff. And a friend of my mom who was renowned pastor, the late um Verne, Yeah, Raven Lee. And it was in the eighties where homelessness was starting to go on the rise, but a lot of churches weren't doing anything about it. So he left the church. He was very this popular church, and he bought this house and in North New York and converted into uh a shelter home, so homeless people. So we lived there, right, we so because my mom

had to like save money. It's hard to save money to speak about own place. But I remember Mike and I were so like ashamed, like because we lived in this shelter home, like the most random people. Like we had like these two old, like old men who I still thought it was the fifties and black folks weren't free. We had missed June, who had like mental health issue.

She walked around with like lipstick brighter because she was a beauty queen back in her day, but that day passed like fifty years before, but she was still very present there. So it was like all these e collective characters all around us. So I remember we used there were kids who went to um Broardway Junior High or I was to go to the other school they lift

across the street. So Mike and Now we would literally wait until all the kids are going to school and would try to like sneak out, and they kids us come out the shelter home. So one day they're like, oh, do you live there? Like? But what was funny was, of course we were Africans, and you know, everybody knows rice is king and my mom one of the things we had in our room was a rice cooker, and there was rules where you weren't allowed to cook in your room, but we didn't really like a lot of

the foods they were cooked. So one day the security guard came knocking on our door and he was like, y'all in here cooking. We were like no, and then all of a sudden, the steamer from the rice cooker came up. We're like, no, we didn't cooking, you know, like what is smoke coming from behind your head because we supposed to shot the home food. I know, so they took our rice cooker. I'm sorry, that's taking me back. I'm very triggered right now. Somebody they took our rice cooker.

It was very traumatic. But but then we still you know, we still graduated. I mean we we still did well and we did you want to you want to brought with Jr. High Schold right, No, because remember you were a couple of years ahead of me. We didn't move to Philly until my freshman year of high cool. Yeah, we moved to Philadelphia my freshman years of high school. And yeah, and Philadelphia was a good move for us.

But shout out to us because what we used to do. Remember, we used to work for Rhane, Mike and I to help my mom out. There was this guy who had this van and he would put I mean, Nowaday would look real suspect. But he used to put these kids into these little black kids and would drive us to the suburbs to sell candy and to the rich white people. So what was so funny was that we were he was so skilled at teaching us. We had to come

back for everything. So if you're not gonna do somebody's like, no, I can't buy your your thing because I'm diabetic, but you will be helping the kids in the community. If somebody said, oh, I'm a low income, then we had every like we had to come back for everything. And we were like we we used to we used to do well, and we used to bring their money home

to my mom. Yeah, we'll give her like half the money was so we get like these candies, we sell them for like three dollars and out of every three dollar, we get seventy out of each one. Yeah, so you know, well fifty to seventy five dollars a week and we have the money to our mom and we save the other half. And as I was able to save school money to go shopping for school close. Yeah, so that's

how you find all those nice outfits and necklaces. No, but let me tell you Michael at that time, because you know in Africa, newly from African country, we don't really care about name brand as long as it's new. So Michael go, you know, we'll buy our meet, our groceries and sneakers all in the same Aland so Michael would like come to school and be feeling good about himself because it's like, oh it's new, but like, what the hell is bubbos? Bubbos they make your feet feel fun? Bubbos.

Then cast our dollar. None bubbos, I forgot the rest of that. Bubb everybody whatever will bubbos. No, you don't know about that? You always or like any kind of no name names, no name like start track in action. Yeah, I had a sneakers that was called in action. It caused my mom. Actually it was more than it was nine dollars nine and she got it right next to the chicken. But remember that time, this is the true story. Remember that time we asked our mother for television. We're

living in like the artists artists basement or whatever. We asked her for a TV. It's like, Mom, it would really be nice to have a TV on the TV. So my mom all of a sudden comes home. I don't know how she got this thing in the house, but bought the biggest bible she could find it. There's your TV has comedy has us. My mother is an advantage of that. She just all she's going, just got in us. I'm like, mom, we know god person. I was like, how did you get that TV? How did

you get that Bible home? Like the thing was bigger at this table. She's like, that's your TV. So we never asked for TV again. You remember who's basement and we lived in or whenever the the artist artist in basement, yes, whenever she was flush the toilet. We living were like, bring the bleach, bret. We live in somebody basements and whenever the flded toilet is like you get to smell all the dudude or sometimes and then we went from then when we got our own place and Mommy came back,

we gotta before Philly. We wasn't like Oranges when we where before the Marrison. We had our own place. We ran an attic. We forgot that was an East Orange, New Jersey. And then moved the Philly. We finally got our own place, a real home. I got my own bedroom for the first time. You know what I'm saying, Uh, three bad we had. We had three bad homeom row house, my mother playing three hunds a month. That's why I

moved to Philly. Was so much cheaper. Philly as much, but so Philly definitely was the best thing that happened to us. Because Philly. You know, we got the Philly. It was so different. You could get a job right away. I went to Domina's Pizza. I got a job immediately. In Jersey, it was so hard to get a job. Having a job McDonald's was good. That's how hard it was. Like you could even get a job McDonald's when I

was a kid back in the day. It's overpopulated at that time, not that it was hard to get one of my mom's. One of my mom's jobs though, was McDonald's. Remember she's to bring fish for We had all that free artists. We are the burghers my mom bring up and we'll freeze him up and eat him the next day. And I think it's illegal because I think that they put throwing them things the way every day, and my mom didn't like throwing away. My mom throw with food

man Mike. But you know what, it's so funny when you brought up music. I thought of when we were in North New York and Michael. You guys don't know, but Michael's first movie was Lean on Me. By the way, he was the next stray and that he's the guy with the hot top pain in the Boston Self outside of the corner. It was so funny because he came. I was like, I'm going to be in a movie. I'm like, no, you're not. He's like, yeah, so what are your lying? Tell me? You like, He's like, free,

Mr Clark. Free. That's when check that out you have he had two months he was like, it was free Mr Clark, Free, Mr Clark. There was oh that was his line. No no, no, yetally every extra had to say it.
