I >> I didn't see I was young though. I was young. I probably >> I was 12, 13. >> You know what I'm saying? I was 12, 13. >> Because I always say what I've always said and I've always heard that raising boys, mamas can't raise boys. Not even grandmas can raise boys. You need a man to be able to raise a a boy into a man. So that's what I'm trying to figure out. Did you have those male role models? Who was that real male role model in your life that helped you on the way to manhood? >> My uncles. >> Your uncles? >> Yeah. I had like eight, nine uncles. >> Oh, okay. >> And every time I started crying, they'll punch me in the chest at 5 years old. They didn't care. They going to make sure I grew up as a man. >> You know what I'm saying? So, uh, uh, God rest, Uncle Mike, uh, Uncle Alan, Uncle Rand, Tim, Anthony, Melvin, Isaac. >> That's a lot. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they taught me cuz they always make sure I with them. I was with them all the time.

I talk about men, >> grown men that Ashy, >> them type of men. Bad credit uh to my mom. But they love me though, you know. They love me to death. But they taught me a lot. I'm telling I I won't I would be in jail if it wasn't for them. >> Really? >> Yeah. I I won't be here anymore. >> Tell me Tell me about a situation growing up that you were going to make the wrong decision, but it was because of them why you didn't end up doing that. >> Uh me. >> Tell me something in in the streets. >> Give me walk me down that whole situation that you can talk about. >> Trying to thought I going to sell drugs. >> Okay. >> Thought I going to sell drugs. >> How did they find out that you was out there doing that? >> Come on. This small town. I'm a town thousand people. Come on. Somebody called him and said, "Come get you N." >> Hey, Coach Nil been trying to say a little too rocks he got left. I I promise you. I knew it wasn't for me. My second day out there on the block. >> Second day. >> Second day I got told by the police, >> undercover cop. >> He's a little man. Boy, you He's a little brother. You ain't built for this. >> They knew. >> He man, you ain't You not built for selling drugs, man. >> What' you say? >> You almost sold something to me. He said, "Man, come here." He called my He called my uncles and called my grandmother. >> So he saved you >> cuz they knew cuz it's a small town. >> Small town. Like man cuz if I kept going that route >> cuz once you get it get that taste of it, you going to keep want to do it. The money. >> What made you want to go out there in the first place or thought that you could do it? >> Cuz I, you know, influence like when you see when when you see stuff, you know how it just like social media. When you see somebody doing you think they doing >> and they got nice shoes, girls, all of that. >> And I'm a pop. I'm from poverty stricken uh >> area. >> Yeah, poverty stricken area. So I'm looking at like I need some money. >> You know what I'm saying? I need to get some money. I'm tired of being broke. I'm tired of wearing my uncle shoes and I ain't wearing underwear but I wear shoes. Uncle shoes and shirt and stuff like that. So I was like, man, I can I want that. >> I want this. I want shoe. I want cars. So I thought that was the way, you know. So I I'm glad that they stepped in and show this not the way. This this not it. this this not it. So they grabbed me, embraced me because they seen something in me, especially my uncle Randolph. He seen something in me early. He said something special about you, man. He said, "I I got you. I'm not going to let you fall to the streets." So yeah, >> I like to hear those stories because being a parent, especially having a boy child, I'm thank God that my child I don't see him going that way, but I know a lot of parents who do watch the show and may have that boy and be like trying to figure out how to get him out of the streets, how to get him not to go that direction and stuff like that. >> But then sometimes no matter what, I've had people sitting in that same seat who said, "Oh, this person tried to get me out of the street. That person told me this and that, but I didn't. I still stuck to that same, you know, being in the streets. So, I'm like, is there any magical words that you can say to a child or anything you can say to really get them out or >> it what do they put their head to? If they going to go out there, they just going to go out there. >> That's uh I I think this is my opinion. You can come from a two parent household, great >> raise them right, raise the kids well, some of them just going to stray. >> Ain't nothing you can do about it. You can tell them what's going to happen. Hey, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't say. You shouldn't. It's trial and error sometime you got it's sad but you got to let them you know the life life's your best teacher >> when you start making mistakes it g you like ah okay cuz it took me a minute to get together you know what I'm saying to I finally got it together so I had to go through I had to go through something >> but after he pulled you out of the street you sat down there and said okay so what am I going to do what did you what was your next step what did you try to do what did you want to become at that point where did you go and work after that >> well I wanted to be well I worked at so many places before I I worked at a concrete place. I built houses, trailers, and stuff. I put I installed windows and trailers. >> And uh it's called Horton Homes. >> Okay. >> And I was like 18. >> D Horton. >> Huh? >> Is it at DL Horton Homes? >> I think that might be the same. D Horton Homes. And I pour concrete. One of the hardest job I ever had, but I made a lot of money. I'm making like 8 900 a week at 8 19 years old. >> Okay. >> And then >> Why did you leave that job? cuz I I I wanted to come and move on up here full time.

You know what I mean? I think your roasted but when it come to us, it ain't all all all everything's open. Yeah. >> And I just don't rock with that. >> Let me tell you something about now. Just my opinion. Tony Hcliffe to me always been fun to me far as he's quick. I already think I agree. I think he a little racist. I think he racist. But you think Oh yeah, I know. But even though when he did that um uh uh um Snoop Dog birthday roast, go watch Snoop Dog roast. He was one of the funniest ones on there. He only black white comment there. I said that dude funny. But you know, I always seen that he had a little racist. You know, racist on the cart. It was too far. They went too far on certain things. They went too far on Sherwood. Come on, man. Her husband committed suicide. He He could have kept that out. He He had to say that. He said, uh, but they did Tone Brad the same way that was killing Tone Brady, too. They destroyed Tom Brady, too. So, but Kevin Hart, a lot of people bashing Kevin Hart for what he said. I mean, for him not defending what happened. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't get both people's side. But for me, if they would have called me, I ain't going to lie, man. I'm I'm solid. Yeah, I I would have did it. I'm tell you something. I'm tell you something. I would have did it. I would did it right now. I would have did I would have did it and I would change my phone number cuz the money because the money going to go up. Oh, the money going to go up. Oh, I'm going take my phone number. I'm take my phone number. >> But you there to get that. >> But me, I was side though. I probably would have done it cuz I'm I'm like a chameleon. I I can adjust anything. I'm already ready. If I'm agreed to it, I already know it's about to happen. I done been studying them roast for years. So I know what come with it. They get personal. They cut man. They talk about baby, your kid, your wife, everything. >> I just had Marcus Brown on and Marcus was telling me about how they they would roast outside of the comedy club before the club started for years. >> All that we've been doing, >> but we roast different from white people. Our roast is different. You know, us black people, we ain't going to go too far. We ain't going to go, "All right, man. Your grandma got one leg and she got one leg for real. Hold on, man. She got one leg for real. But that's personal. We're not going to get too personal. We just Oh, man. Shut your ass up. You look at that. We We know we drone that way. But white people, not all of them. But the they go hard. Joe Ross. Joe Ross funny. He made me laugh. Joe Ross. Uh Greg Geraldo. He passed away. Even when his flavor flavor roast. You seen the flavor flavor roast? You ever seen that, man? You think Go look at Flavor Flave roast, man. They killed Flavor Flave, bro. They killed They talking It was It was too much at some I like Come on, man. I'm I'm not I don't see how you stay. I don't see how you able to stay there and just listen. They was killing, bro. With the stuff that was seeing the flavor flame. Everybody What? Cat Kat William was the roast master. Captain the roast master and they keep when I say they man the stuff they were saying about him bro say he like a oily salamander it look like a a fried skeleton it was in everything man >> let me ask you this >> it was terrible >> I had Kdub on just about a month ago >> and um I've been talking about this lately >> uh TI >> a A lot of people give him a rap about. I just had a guy on here named, shout out to uh Mills. Will Mills say >> Will Mills. >> Will Mills. He was at the Atlanta Comedy Club last night. >> Will Mills. >> Yeah. He's He's a New York Brooklyn guy. >> Will Mill. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm going tell you what Wills Mills did. >> Wills Mills said cuz he's friends with Godfrey. They said tripped on. They said tripping. >> Godfrey. Uh um uh Aries Spears, Will Mills, they all in the same group. say TI came out went be went after the headlines. Okay. They said that was disrespectful, >> but Kdub came on and said it really wasn't disrespectful because Godfrey ain't [ __ ] He ain't he ain't no legend like that. Just being honest with I'm telling you what he done. So I had I'm want to know your take on on you know he say he think he this but he not this. And >> I mean I don't know Godfrey, you know what I'm saying? I don't know none of these guys. But I'm just telling you what he said. >> So he basically came out because Aries has said what he said. And I've been just just trying to hear like where you at with it. Like I told Aries on my show that TI is the king of the south. He said, "What does that mean?" I said, "Listen, bro, you in Atlanta. He's the king of the south." So, I don't know if y'all understand what that mean, but that come with some stuff that y'all not going to understand what's happening. I don't give a damn. Rapping, doing business, cooking pizza, whatever they doing in Atlanta, uh, when certain people show up, >> it's going down. >> They're going down. >> And they know that that's their bread and butter, too. A lot of the comedy show, a lot of the businesses period know that the impact and the time that he put in here is going to bring a different. Now, now you might have been up in Massachusetts somewhere. It might not went down like that. >> But let me tell you something. My opinion, me and Tia born the same day. First of all, tell me 25th >> already. >> Me and Tia. Tia silent to me. >> And my grandbaby. >> No, my grandbaby born when y'all born. >> Hey, that's a great day. And Will Smith. >> Oh yeah. >> So keep my white name out of my heart. Go ahead. >> But no, no. Anyway though, TI when he first started doing comedy, I think a lot of comedians got mad and felt some type of way. Why n doing comedy? You can't stop nobody from doing nothing. If you want to try comedy, he can do comedy. I don't care if he rapper do he can do what the hell he want to do. He can do comedy or what? If I'm a comedian, if I want to start rapping, I can't start rapping. >> Yeah, you can. That's what cuz Ari said he he but it's the way he came in. He said he wouldn't go in there acting like he's uh like I'm I'm going to come in this rap. >> Man, TI is one of the greatest all time in my eye. >> Period. >> Period. That's just my opinion. Ti if he going to want to get on the microphone, let TI get on the microphone. He didn't put that time in. Even though he not a comedian, he not put that time in for comedy. He a legend. You know what I'm saying? Certain comics don't want to. That's what I said yesterday. >> But you're right. But let me say this though. Certain comics or certain comic don't they feel disrespectful for you to go behind the headliner. It just depends on who the headliner. Sometime it just comedian going last. Everybody and not a headliner because they said they a headliner. So me if T come behind me like oh let T go on up. I don't care. I got ego. I ain't got no ego like that. I'm I'm I'm cool. You know what I'm saying? But Eric spher ain't got no beef with Gaffin. I don't know. Hey, Ko say what he said. One thing I like about Ko, he going to speak his mind and he going to stand on it. Now I I don't know Gaffy like that. I didn't met Gy few time. Got cool to me. But Eric Spear I don't really care for Eric Spears. >> You hadn't met him? >> Yeah, I met Eric Spear a few times. I met Eric. >> So what's the problem? >> I'm going tell you what he did to me one time. You know I I tell you what. I was in LA. me and uh uh Gerard, my homeboy. Gerard was working on a Mad TV set when uh Erin Spears was on Mad TV. So I go to the comedy club with Gerard and I try to shake I mean um he introduced me to uh Eric Spears. Never met Eric Spear. He never met me. Hey, this young gunner right here, man. Up and coming. He funny. His name Double D from Atlanta. I shake my hand. He turned his back on me and started talking to somebody else. Just I was like maybe that man see me man how he see me I'm looking right in front of them raccoon eyes. >> Why you think he would do something like that start going hitting but the belt raccoon eyes. Well well everybody come on now man. >> I ain't never heard nobody say that but you >> that you well well everybody blind if they don't see that. He like a female raccoon to me. But I'm saying >> I'm just saying and the reason I'm tripping off y'all because y'all all taking shots at >> a TAKING SHOTS AT HE DIDN'T shake my hand. He didn't shake my hand. Anybody know me? Only a nice dude. Look at me. >> You've never done that to me? >> I've never met him. They're my >> Have you never done that to anybody else? Where somebody tried to shake your hand and you didn't shake their hand? >> No, I always shake hand. >> Okay. >> Only two people that I try to shake their hand that did me like that. >> Was him and who? >> David Banner twice. >> David Banner did that. >> Yes. >> Why? >> Cuz we was at um >> He turned his back on you too. >> Same thing. I was the main comedian. I don't know you remember this song uh Macio go sit down. Hey, I was the I was the feature comedian there and we were doing a scene with and one.

Still with stay with the same person. >> Well, he try you try to shake his hand again. >> He just he just >> When you say I don't How did that happen at the airport? >> Hey man, I I I seen him come through cuz I'm cool with everybody airport Atlanta airport. I ain't got to wait no line cuz I I know the people, you know, good people take care of me. I guess he got a little jealous cuz I cuz I walked through the VIP line and he was still held up. I guess you know what I'm saying. You know what? I heard him. Who that? Who that [ __ ] But he knew who I was. I tried to shake his hand, man. He acting funny. I was like, "Hey, cool."

I don't know if I think Daryus might have looked like somebody to him or something, but he tried to play Daryus, but when he did, Daryus like, "Nigga, oh, [ __ ] blah, blah, blah." Went right off like, "Nigga, I don't even play like that." You [ __ ] and and Daryus not even like that. That's not And that's what I'm saying. >> It's all about respect. It was the disrespect that made him unwind on him like that. >> And I said to myself, man, Daryus, I told Dar, I said, I ain't never seen D. That whole ass [ __ ] tried to play me like I just was trying to be nice and I shook it like you just said and he just went off on it like do something [ __ ] >> Being too nice will mess you up.

He's a Terrell Texas. >> Yeah. Terrible. >> Terrible. Terrible. But let me tell you, man. Um you comedians, I I trip off y'all because you guys have have really got a lot of stuff going on on the back scene. I never knew that before I got into this. Um, how do you feel about like all of the comedians that came up under you guys, after you guys? Are you guys are you are you just straight for the old school comedians or do you like to embrace the younger comedians that's coming in the game? Them internet wave comedians. Me, I'm I'm I'm kind of both. I tell you why. I'm more of old school. the traditional stand up on that stage, getting it in, getting out the mud on that stage, be being fun on that stage for 30 minute to an hour. I got five hours of material. I can stay I can stand up there for 3, four hours straight. So, but you can't get mad at the younger generation, the up and cominging social media comedian. They found a lane, man. They found a lane. I think some of them funny, some of them not to me. You know what I'm saying? >> That's life. >> Yeah. Some of them funny, some of them not. You know what I'm saying? Some of them is not they not stand up comedian. They just they just good for the internet. They they know how to be funny. They know how to work the internet. The wife says, "I'm oldhead. I'm not going to hate on them. I'm trying to figure out what they doing so I can get some follow. I'm tired of my grandma and my uncle following me. I need some more followers here. >> I got 9,000 followers. Help me out." >> Here's what you got to understand. Back in the days, you guys didn't have nothing but the stage club. These guys have a unique situation where when you come out now, they had an Instagram before they even got into comedy. So they have a they their talent just rides the wave of that that's happening and then when they become a comic you like they in it. No, they was a comedian too. They just not getting in the game. Now they going to hit some of them stages and try to figure it out as well. But they still are who they are. They can't change the fact that the time has changed and they have to be who they are in the midst of the time that has changed >> and still try to become be that traditional comedian. Shout out to Louis belt. You know what I mean? Like King. Yeah, you know, he started Yeah, he started some dope uh Jewel Myron. Like Kelly. >> Yeah, these guys are are doing their thing, you know. >> Country Wayne. >> So, I got to give it up to the youngsters that come back after y'all that had to live in the internet phase but still understand comedy.
