Transcript

Son a cast time. It's your girl sign of what's up you play? Biz Manlex Jones, all right, what we're talking on it's MLK weekend coming up? It is, And I'm glad that we haven't seen any flyers with y'all having you know, doctor King in a do rag. Yeah, you ain't seen him south there already. For sure. I thought the most disrespectful thing had to be the Jonathan Major's interview. I know y'all saw that.

Well this flyer specifically saw you probably saw the same one there, Lexis said, inviting all the Corettas out, oh God, to celebrate this weekend, come out in two step and celebrate the King. So Jonathan Majors, as we talked about on the show, because you know on the radio Monday and Friday out there in the bay. Yeah yeah, weah six to ten. You can tap in right here on this iHeart app and listen to daily if

you want to. But the fact that Jonathan Majors gave a unstellar performance when he did his interview concerning his physical domestic altercation with his ex girlfriend a little Russian dancer girl, right, and he said the fact that Megan Good was by his side you know the whole time, like an angel, like a

Kreta. Yeah, bruh. The thing is, what we're not gonna do is keep on just disrespecting these national treasures that literally have helped us shape America for the better, like Coretta, Scott King, doctor King, and just use their names in vain like that. All that woman did was stand by your steaking ass when you was in court. She ain't sit up here and walk no sum of bridge with you. Food. She might have been paid

to do it too, ain't no lies. We don't really know. I feel like they had to put a queen over there with a king, I guess, to make sure to try to get him as least amount of time I guess as possible or less charges. I don't know. But he's still in trouble and lost his Disney gig and everything. But I'm telling you, when he did the interview, it all looked fake to me. He just looked like he was putting on. I didn't like it. I didn't believe

it. And then the Coreta comment just really sunk him all the way to the bottom. Well, apparently this is what he tells all the women that he dates, because he told the same thing. Tell a little white girl he did do to be my Corretta. She couldn't do that. She wanted to food. That's why he had to run over there and say, hey, can y'all give me a nice sister that can stand next to me while I fight these charges. I mean, I like my milkle magnesia is like

every other person sometimes never made you. He broke the moon, you know what I mean? But telling the white woman to act like Corretta Scott King, ain't it? My bro? It's wold? She for show went to Google to figure out what that meant, and she still don't know. She read and she still don't know. She will never know. Uh So we got the pleasure of having Donelle Rowlings in here on the phone with us today. Let me tap this gentleman in Donell. What's up? Well, we're

talking about Jonathan Majors and the Coretta comment. What's what's your take? I don't know what it takes to be a Scott King nowadays? What it's a it's a it's a different level. Man. I don't know. The guy is like drowning. This situation is unfortunate because he was a buddy. Want to want to be about to be the biggest superstars, and he made some decisions that put him in a situation where he has to his life. Wrath is connected with Corretta. That's gonna be the new T shirts like not like

I am Michael Jordan, I am Michael Jordan. I am Michael Jordan. It's gonna be it's gonna be some Asian jewice. It's gonna be Asians, I am Corretta. It's gonna be some Latinos. I am Day you know Day, Oh my god, lady. Okay, okay, Coreada, Okay, okay. So just get ready for the T shirts all on MLK weekend. Nonetheless, this cold game done? Brother? How you doing? Man? What's going on the same thing, different day, different pay scale.

Yesterday price is the day's price every year. Fel like I'm growing waiting for this Netflix specially to drop, and waiting for Cat Williams to finally mention me in a sentence so I can get these T sales up. Drop your name every other comedian, but you, I'm gonna tell you why because I'm that dude. I'm gonna tell you why because you can't say this dude isn't funny.

I'm gonna tell you why because he can't question my character. I'll tell you why because I have a resume that goes back thirty two years where I'm one of the only black comics, has been a part of some of the biggest pop cultural shows in the last twenty three twenty five years. I'll tell you why because I played a voice in The People Seen and Dixar, I mean Disney's, Pixar's not Oscar nominated film The Soul. I'll tell you why.

After thirty two years of doing comedy. Every year, I'm getting better, I'm getting stronger, I'm just doing it. And the last, but not least, is that he knows I bring heat on that stage. And that's the reason why you will never hear Kat Williams say anything derogatory about me. And I'm not saying that in the crazy way. But everything I said, as y'all say, check the facts, I had to receipt and there's

no light detected. And that's why Kat Williams won't say anything. Yeah, what do you what do you feel about like the names that he did name and calling them joke stealers, et cetera. What I do know that that that that is something that is that is something that happens in the comedy world, and they use it. I mean the under the underlining rule that they say, it's not your joke until you put it on TV. And that's where a lot of a lot, a lot of discomfort and misunderstanding come from.

I also know sometimes usually when it's a joke that people are stealing, it's a joke that's still a bull. It is a premise that everybody can hit. There was an argument about Steve Harvey, Markcerrey. He stole my poor person Halloween joke. I got a poor person Halloween joke. It's almost like Oprah Wiffrey Daz has a part of it. He has one. Everybody has a poor Halloween joke, you know. And I used to get upset about that. But me, I don't. I used to. I used

to step the dudes. I used to. I didn't gotta fights over. I stepped through it. That's the only way I could sell it. But the one thing that made me do is like, you know what, since they want to be in my pocket, I'm gonna make my pocket so fat they can't reach out and get everything. And I'm gonna have jokes that's reflective of me and my life. You can steal my joke about Halloween. You can steal my joke about John de Mazis, but you can't steal my life.

So the more you put your life on stage, they can't take that. So you know, and you'll go crazy in this business. I've been in it. I probably wasted two years of my career beef with people about stealing jokes. But what I said was, here's the thing. The biggest joke writers in Hollywood, they don't get paid off one joke. They get paid because they got jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes

and jokes. And that's what I got. I did a show. When I do shows, sometimes they call it being courteous to your headliner, when you find out what they want to talk about or what they want to stay, what they want you to stay away from. A young comic said, you know, I got this so and so Joe. If you want to stay away from me, I said, man, I could dead everything you talk about, not even touch that. It's still rocker hour beat it right, Yeah, I do. I definitely hear that, brother and I know

you got an hour long special hitting Netflix like you mentioned. Uh, we say, we see that Dave Chappelle is gonna be an executive producer in this thing. And this is your first one, your first time dropping a whole hour special donell. Now this is this special and it's like if I'm probably about forty five minutes. This is part of Dave Chappelle's Home Team joint where he did want with Lunell Talk and he did it with myself. You know

this is and then he did this. He's the executive producer. This is my first special and my first special with Netflix. Davis executive producer of this, so it's coming under his umbrella. But I already had before Dave came to be a part of I had a deal already with Netflix. They wanted to work with me with or without Dave's assistance. But me, being the business person I am, I say, you know what, I'm gonna get

a certain amount of money if I do it on my own. But if I come behind Dave and he supports it and he helps me with this, then I probably could quite droople the money that I was gonna get. So that was part of the play. It's probably gonna be forty minutes set. I think it's gonna be a great introduction. People haven't seen me do more than like ten or fifteen minutes on stand up on any platform. The latest

was fing around with Snoop Dogg. I did that. It was Mike Epps, it was Cat Williams, it was Joe Tory, I mean, god Tori. It was Melanie Camacho. And I'll let you guys be to judge on it. You go back, you watch it, and then y'all see who did what, and then I'll answer your question. Why ken they's saying hing about me? I just like to put it on stage. I let people talk all every one on the internet and everybody is getting all slick and

everything. But I've always been a person. I never really had too many relationships for comedians. Always been a guy that about the audience more than anything. And if anybody wants to be for me or question me or anything, just come to a show. And then you know, let let I say, let your work speak for itself. And I know for a fact a lot of folks can come check you out this week because you're gonna be out there at Cobs in the city, right, yes, sir, Now,

what what are the times you're gonna be out there? Man? I know you're gonna be hitting us up. I believe Friday is your first one Friday, two shows Friday, two shows Saturday, one show on Sunday. I yes, say, I just did a special. So part of my Chidren right now is going back to the drawing board, you know, just getting some new stuff, getting excited about different premises and having a good time.

You know, It's not like I treat it like an open micro anything, but it's gonna be me testing new stuff out and just connected with the audience and and just and bringing heat. And I'm not like everything I'm saying. If somebody hasn't seen me do stand up, they'd be like, oh, this can keep talking trash. But if anybody else seen me do stand up, they will say that everything that I'm saying, and with my confidence on what I'm doing stage is definitely validated. No, I definitely feel that.

Brother. Last time I caught you, uh, you know, was out here in Oakland. You feel me you an earthquake was doing a big thing slide through the Paramount Theater. So we're excited to have you coming back to the Bay Area. Good brother, I'm ready to do it, man. And with all said and done, just like to say, run it up downell. Thank you man. I appreciate you, baby, thank you for taking the time. And we'll definitely send people out to Cobs and check out

that Netflix special too. All right, let's go, all right, take care. He's funny. It sounds like he definitely had his bout with people over whatever. He's like, I spent too much time wasting, man, tell your own jokes about your own life. Nobody can take that or copy that from you. Yeah. Absolutely, you can tell me. In the comedy world, cat ruffle, ruffle some feathers for show. That brother was waiting for that, oh man, Yeah, yeah, man. So make

sure y'all get out there check out Donna Robins this weekend. Maybe bring your Karreta with you. It's only one Coreta, It's only one Correta. And you know, I just want to ask the two Dallas Cowboy fans, Okay, before we go, what's up how y'all feeling as we slide into these play y'all? What do you mean we got CD Lamborghini. Let's go. Okaye, But y'all y'all got a test coming up this weekend. I know y'all about to be playing the Packers. And you know, a boy love

has been he's been looking real nice, like Jones. Yeah, man, you know Green Bay has a history of sening us home. So but uh, we got two home games. He's sixteen and oh at home, so we about to let him know. What do you do? I don't even have that kind of confidence. No, I can't say that out loud. You're gonna get cdee Lamborghini out of me. And that's it. I'm just gonna sit here and pray. Yeah, because he's freaking cheese his dudes, like I'm not. We can't go out round one. That's that's what I

know. Yeah, you and Hope not you know what I mean. But again, your team has been looking Honestly, you guys got rolling at the perfect time. Michael Parsons is healthy, you know what I mean. And Dakota actually hasn't even been throwing meaningless interceptions thirty two touchdowns nine interceptions. I mean, it looked like the MVP to me, but I don't know. Yeah, doesn't he have the most like in the league. Yeah, yeah, he would be talking so much smack, and it's like sports is a

roller coaster. Yeah, I don't care what team you're a fan of. I don't care what player is your favorite. They're gonna be on and they're gonna be off, and you just have to pray that they're more on than they're than they're off. And you know, shoot, like I always say, any given Sunday, and I don't know everything about football, but I'm just like, I'm a fan. I'm gonna stay true and blue like I've always been since I was born. It's about them cowboys and we're gonna see

what's up man. So I don't know, but you know, in the Bay, it's kind of hard to be a cowboy fan their legs. I'm not gonna lie though. I got confidence. I think the curse is over. Once we inducted Jimmy Johnson into the Ring of Honor. Oh, I think it was lifted. I think we are we going back to that game. Really, I got faith. I mean, a win is a win, all right. A win is a win technicality and not shout out to the Zebras. You know what I'm saying. Okay, Jerry's check cash,

It's good to go. When are you coming over to this side? When you gonna give up on them Vegas Raiders? There, Caine, I'm gonna stick beside him. Okay, you know, because I'll tell you right now, I feel like we got a coach for the future. Shout out to my guy. Ap Antonio Pears is a real Raider. The man grew up a Raider fan. Every time I hear him let out one of those Raiders chants, it warns my heart. But I will say this, Jim Harball, I know you're available. Go ahead and call Mark. That's a quick

switch up quick. The man just won a national championship. He's won everywhere he's coached. You know what I'm saying, got ties to the Raiders. And he's actually actually just signed with the same agent that represents Tom Brady. Tom Brady is already part owner of the Raiders. Are we gonna sit here and act like there's not a connection. There's something happening. I wouldn't be mad at Jim, but honestly, in my heart of hearts, I would love to see Ap get a real shot. You know, I really would.

But again, were not in the playoffs this year. Hopefully we can get there next year. Shout out to my man Max Crosby going back to the Pro Bowl. You know what I'm talking about. But but I will say this much. You know, I'm rooting for you guys in the playoffs. Shout out to my brother black Mark, though, if you want to make any bets, I'm certainly taking it, taking all the action. But I definitely think y'all will get past the first round. I think y'all hardest

test. Honestly, if y'all ended up getting into it would probably be with the Niners though, that would be a slug match for sure, you know, and the last the last few playoffs, I mean y'all saw each other. I mean, you know, I guess we gotta have Pillow come up here and make another bet. Sona g Yeah, we never fulfill our bets, so man, I don't follow through. We're buying any Nan red red and gold jersey, and actually I think I've lost pretty much every time.

So it's like, you know, he never has to pay up, but I don't think he would, uh anyway, So I don't know. It's fine. That rivalry. Boy, that's a tough one. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's got it's got roots in it. Y'all got mad roots. But we gotta make it past around one, so we'll see what's ha right. So I just got one more thing to say, is that

how about that cowboy you know it? Baby son cast. Y'all make sure you tap in what It's One Radio Live in the Bay Area every morning, Monday through Friday, six to ten base Well, Holland
