[3:56] Speaker 2: if you ever want to find out if you're funny,
[3:58] Speaker 2: you got to go to New York. And I was like,
[4:00] Speaker 2: you know what I'm gonna go. I got off the
[4:02] Speaker 2: Greyhound bus with my daughter and I was like, all right,
[4:04] Speaker 2: New York, Let's see what we got to offer. I

[4:17] Speaker 2: me just be out by six o'clock. And that's what
[4:19] Speaker 2: we would do, me and my daughter and there. I
[4:21] Speaker 2: just constantly started doing comedy and more comedy, and it
[4:24] Speaker 2: just led to me doing other things. And I think
[4:26] Speaker 2: the funniest thing about it is I used to sleep
[4:28] Speaker 2: sometimes outside of fifteen fifteen Broadway. We all know that CMTV,

[6:16] Speaker 2: So we got Amazur. And he's like, look, man, I
[6:18] Speaker 2: got a show. It's Chicago that's paying me way more
[6:20] Speaker 2: than that. And I was like, listen, I promise you.
[6:23] Speaker 2: I can't give it to you now, but when you
[6:25] Speaker 2: before you step on stage, I'll have ten thousand dollars.
[6:27] Speaker 3: Morning you was getting in Chicago.
[6:29] Speaker 2: And God blessed me and I hand out lighters every
[6:31] Speaker 2: day and I promoted the hell out of it and
[6:32] Speaker 2: it went from just one show with fifteen hundred to
[6:34] Speaker 2: two shows back to back, and then we did another
[6:37] Speaker 2: show on Patchhok at the sound Garden. It was crazy,
[6:40] Speaker 2: so which is crazy? Yeah, And it started right there
[6:41] Speaker 2: in front of a room of fifteen hundred people. The
[6:43] Speaker 2: next thing, you know, six months later, we was on
[6:46] Speaker 2: every single arena that was and we was doing like
[6:50] Speaker 2: I was number two on post Start that year for
[6:52] Speaker 2: promoting it. Yeah, like pushing it together. I sold out
[6:54] Speaker 2: to you talking that post. Oh my god, I still
[6:57] Speaker 2: hold the record in Detroit. I still hold a record.
[6:59] Speaker 3: I mean, now you try.
[6:59] Speaker 2: I still hold a record in DC for selling out
[7:02] Speaker 2: two arenas in one night. We did show Palace Arena,
[7:04] Speaker 2: we did I think fourteen thousand, and then we went
[7:06] Speaker 2: over to Capitol One, took a police escort and did
[7:08] Speaker 2: seventeen five hundred.
[7:10] Speaker 3: We had a seven o'clock show on a nine o'clock show.
[7:12] Speaker 5: So how does a comedian turned into slash promoter? How
[7:16] Speaker 5: do you transition to that?
[7:17] Speaker 3: People not allowing you on stage?
[7:21] Speaker 2: People and the big shout out to art New York comedians,
[7:24] Speaker 2: but they got this like hazing thing where it's like
[7:27] Speaker 2: they'll put you on when you not funny to make
[7:29] Speaker 2: fun of you, and then when you get funny, they
[7:30] Speaker 2: won't book you no more. And being told no so
[7:33] Speaker 2: many times, I was like, you know what, I'm gonna
[7:35] Speaker 2: do my own rooms. I'm gonna do my own grind.
[7:38] Speaker 2: And I started doing like little bars, like squads and
[7:41] Speaker 2: venus and like footprints, and then next before you knew it,
[7:44] Speaker 2: I had had like six rooms. And then Rashi passed away,
[7:47] Speaker 2: and I remember his brother in law coming to me
[7:49] Speaker 2: and say, hey, they about to lose the rooms that
[7:51] Speaker 2: Rashi had because RASHIU had like five rooms. And I
[7:54] Speaker 2: was like, well, I'm gonna let that happen. Man, you
[7:55] Speaker 2: know what, I'll do the rooms. I think the budget
[7:58] Speaker 2: was like eight hundred dollars. I was like, take six
[8:00] Speaker 2: hundred and give it to his kids and tell y'all
[8:02] Speaker 2: take that, and I just do it for the two
[8:04] Speaker 2: hundred dollars and I I'll book one comedian. So I
[8:06] Speaker 2: was getting a hundred dollars and I was like, I'm
[8:07] Speaker 2: gonna keep this so his family could do it. And
[8:09] Speaker 2: then that turned out crazy. Out of overnight, I literally
[8:12] Speaker 2: had twelve rooms. At one point I ran to York.
[8:14] Speaker 2: You couldn't go to a Borough that I didn't have
[8:15] Speaker 2: a room. Man. I used to have two shows every
[8:17] Speaker 2: single night, and when you came to New York, you
[8:19] Speaker 2: had to say Rip because Rip could put you on
[8:20] Speaker 2: for two weeks straight and just doing comedy. And then
[8:23] Speaker 2: I turned that into just like promoting myself like any
[8:26] Speaker 2: other artists. And I'm like, you know, I'm gonna promote myself.
[8:27] Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this, And everybody kept coming around me like, hey, Rip,
[8:30] Speaker 2: can I be on the show?
[8:31] Speaker 3: Can I do this?
[8:32] Speaker 2: So then I just tried to start uplifting us all
[8:34] Speaker 2: and then just next thing you know, I was doing.
[8:35] Speaker 3: That's how the April Fools came about.
[8:37] Speaker 2: I was like, all right, cool, you know what, instead
[8:39] Speaker 2: of doing it by myself and pushing myself, I'm gonna
[8:41] Speaker 2: take all my friends and we're gonna go ahead and
[8:42] Speaker 2: sell out the Westbury Music Fiere. We're gonna do something
[8:44] Speaker 2: and nobody ever done five thousand people.
[8:46] Speaker 3: Just to see us.
[8:47] Speaker 2: And ten years later now I'm doing eighteen thousand, nineteen
[8:50] Speaker 2: thousand people. I mean, we got regular comedians doing Chris
[8:54] Speaker 2: Brown Drake numbers. We're performing in a round like this
[8:57] Speaker 2: been a phenomenon. Sold out the Garden in three weeks
[9:00] Speaker 2: on a Wednesday.
[9:00] Speaker 5: Yeah, because it seems like everybody from Wilding Out like
[9:03] Speaker 5: took their success and did other things like it wasn't like, yo,
[9:08] Speaker 5: we're just gonna piggyback off of Nick Cannon. Yo, look,
[9:10] Speaker 5: we're gonna do our own thing, like everybody off that
[9:13] Speaker 5: show was kind of doing their own thing.
[9:15] Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's an institution I look at, while not
[9:19] Speaker 2: as the best institution you could ever be on for conference,
[9:21] Speaker 2: and big shout out to Nile and Nick because they
[9:24] Speaker 2: put you through like a boot camp, Like you come
[9:26] Speaker 2: in it's one thing and you leave out as another.
[9:28] Speaker 2: You have to find your own voice in that show,
[9:31] Speaker 2: and they'll be screaming at you. You'll see some of
[9:32] Speaker 2: your favorite streamers that and Instagram famous.
[9:37] Speaker 3: People that just can't hack it.
[9:38] Speaker 2: They'll be they'll be crying because they were like, you
[9:40] Speaker 2: are not funny just because you're funny on your phone,
[9:42] Speaker 2: it doesn't mean nothing, doesn't mean shit.
[9:44] Speaker 3: And people just walking out crying and they be hurting feelings.
[9:46] Speaker 2: But if you make it through that other side, you
[9:49] Speaker 2: make it too, and you find out who you are
[9:50] Speaker 2: and what your voice and your strength is.
[9:52] Speaker 3: So that's why you see the rip Michaels.
[9:53] Speaker 2: That's why you see the eighty five Souths, That's why
[9:55] Speaker 2: you see the Matt Rice, That's why you see the
[9:57] Speaker 2: Kevin Hart send the mic Apps because everybody he came
[10:00] Speaker 2: from the institution, the d Rays and the Corey Hoakan,
[10:02] Speaker 2: we all come from that would out there.
[10:04] Speaker 1: You ever to performed somewhere and didn't have a good
[10:06] Speaker 1: turn on how you wanted to, like it was a
[10:08] Speaker 1: bad night man that ever, how you bounced back from that,
[10:12] Speaker 1: like have a performance and it didn't go as you playing?
[10:15] Speaker 2: Like, oh man, we all get boomed. Any giffings that
[10:20] Speaker 2: happened any night man? Of course? Man like coming up
[10:23] Speaker 2: in the game of course. I think I think the
[10:25] Speaker 2: worst boy I ever had when I was in college
[10:26] Speaker 2: because I actually start doing comedy when I was thirteen
[10:29] Speaker 2: years old. My auntie Jockey whatever, Really my auntie is
[10:32] Speaker 2: my daddy's girlfriend.
[10:33] Speaker 3: But he made me call high. I didn't know that.
[10:36] Speaker 3: I didn't know that my.
[10:37] Speaker 5: Aunt I had an idea.
[10:40] Speaker 3: I really didn't know it was my daddy girlfriend. I
[10:42] Speaker 3: didn't know. So happy I was doing comedy.
[10:44] Speaker 2: I was like, Mama, look, mama, look, Jockey bought me
[10:47] Speaker 2: like your god, damn aunty, your daddy girlfriend, go outside.
[10:51] Speaker 3: Your uncle Charles, go take I had uncle Charles too.
[10:54] Speaker 2: Don't get a twisted My parents been together forty two years,
[10:58] Speaker 2: cheating one.
[11:04] Speaker 3: And that's the truth. We would think I'm joking, but
[11:05] Speaker 3: that's the truth.
[11:06] Speaker 1: Store.
[11:06] Speaker 3: I love my payer, no judge of my family. I
[11:07] Speaker 3: don't live with us.
[11:08] Speaker 5: Good the lardest job in the world and make people laugh.
[11:13] Speaker 5: It's not it's not easy to make people laugh and
[11:16] Speaker 5: be in front of a crowd, you know. And we
[11:19] Speaker 5: are the real report, so you know we're gonna ask
[11:21] Speaker 5: you who are your top five comedians m hm of
[11:25] Speaker 5: all time?
[11:26] Speaker 3: For you, of all times? That's a difference. So if
[11:28] Speaker 3: you're gonna go all times, you're always gonna go grades.
[11:30] Speaker 2: But if you're gonna go who are my favorite comedians,
[11:32] Speaker 2: that wouldn't be of all times, because if you're gonna
[11:33] Speaker 2: go all times, you're gonna have to Eddie Murphy. You're
[11:35] Speaker 2: doing the Richard Pryors, you know. But if you like
[11:37] Speaker 2: who my favorite comedian is, that's grinding and doing it.

[14:07] Speaker 2: they don't really boot like they used to. Well, sometimes
[14:09] Speaker 2: they do sometimes in my shows that I put on.
[14:11] Speaker 2: Sometimes you can get it.
[14:12] Speaker 5: How was it when? Because I know you brought Til
[14:15] Speaker 5: to one of your shows and it was.
[14:17] Speaker 3: Cricket that Okay, First of all, let me explain.
[14:21] Speaker 5: First of all, t I did you think a rapper
[14:23] Speaker 5: should be doing comedy?
[14:24] Speaker 2: Of course, of course is a funny, funny comedian and person.
[14:29] Speaker 2: He has great stories and it's just I just think
[14:33] Speaker 2: it's that's that night, and he went around the.
[14:34] Speaker 3: Country blaming me for getting boot.
[14:36] Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't set t I up t
[14:38] Speaker 2: I everybody knew you was coming.
[14:41] Speaker 3: I did it. I did.
[14:43] Speaker 2: He tried to say that they thought he was doing
[14:45] Speaker 2: music and they boot him. No, the crowd knew he
[14:47] Speaker 2: was doing comedy. I promoted this comedy. I had his
[14:50] Speaker 2: drops in comedy for the first time.
[14:51] Speaker 3: That was the whole appeal.
[14:53] Speaker 1: Promoted him coming out to perform. No, So when he
[14:56] Speaker 1: came out crickets doing stand up comedy, they were like,
[14:59] Speaker 1: what the fuck?
[15:00] Speaker 3: No, he got a notroary. I did not.
[15:03] Speaker 1: Man, y'all, y'all put you're not gonna put that on him.
[15:06] Speaker 3: I did not.
[15:07] Speaker 2: He came up and he went up and the crowd
[15:10] Speaker 2: was so happy to SEETI and.
[15:12] Speaker 3: Everybody knew was doing comedy. No as a comedian.
[15:14] Speaker 2: That was the whole reason everybody bought tickets because he
[15:17] Speaker 2: had been doing comedy. It wasn't his first show, so
[15:19] Speaker 2: they hadn't been doing comedy across any change the name
[15:20] Speaker 2: of Tip, so he'd been doing comedy for a minute.
[15:23] Speaker 2: So when he said it that he was doing comedy,
[15:25] Speaker 2: because my friend right for him, and he went up
[15:28] Speaker 2: and the crowd you watched the video yourself. The crowd
[15:31] Speaker 2: listened to him for about seven minutes. They was like
[15:34] Speaker 2: this they didn't blew right away. They was like this
[15:36] Speaker 2: seven second no, no, no, no.
[15:37] Speaker 3: They listened to him. They was like t I, and
[15:40] Speaker 3: then he was like yeah, and then it was like okay, okay,
[15:44] Speaker 3: mm hm, they gonna take them with you.
[15:49] Speaker 2: I think he did a joke about like something about
[15:51] Speaker 2: heated seats in the gas station bathroom and the girl
[15:53] Speaker 2: sitting down.
[15:53] Speaker 3: That's when they had it for him.
[15:56] Speaker 1: Wrote some bad jokes.
[15:57] Speaker 3: I don't think nobody wrote wrote jokes for that.
[15:59] Speaker 2: I'm just saying that he just and he took it personal,
[16:01] Speaker 2: like it happens, bro, like you get booed.
[16:04] Speaker 5: It just you know, how do you feel about comedians
[16:06] Speaker 5: getting mad at people with the crowd.
[16:07] Speaker 3: I think that's wrong.
[16:08] Speaker 2: Any given night he can happen. I just want to
[16:10] Speaker 2: say that, any given night, it can happen. Like the
[16:12] Speaker 2: crowd looked at him and it didn't end bad because afterwards,
[16:15] Speaker 2: I didn't make fun of TI. I didn't go out
[16:17] Speaker 2: there and rose t. I like we as comedians. No,
[16:20] Speaker 2: I didn't go out there. I played his music and said,
[16:22] Speaker 2: why would y'all do that to a legend.
[16:24] Speaker 3: That's a legend. DJ Mvy plays some music for him.
[16:26] Speaker 2: We played all his kids and we rocked out for
[16:28] Speaker 2: a few seconds the show that's the King.
[16:30] Speaker 3: He tried something different and that's what it was like.
[16:32] Speaker 2: The crowd was just looking at him like, hey man,
[16:34] Speaker 2: you can have whatever you like, but it ain't comedy.
[16:41] Speaker 2: And his wife was there on the other side. She
[16:43] Speaker 2: was like, who can you run to because she couldn't
[16:45] Speaker 2: escape either, to feel and it just happens like he
[16:50] Speaker 2: took it too personal, cut his hair off, he got
[16:52] Speaker 2: the number one song You're back wrapping now, Like it's
[16:55] Speaker 2: just maybe that was the thing for him to do,
[16:57] Speaker 2: but go back. But he's funny and listen, if t
[17:00] Speaker 2: I is watching, you are more than welcome to come
[17:02] Speaker 2: back anytime.
[17:04] Speaker 5: Watch. I'm sorry we just.
[17:10] Speaker 3: Watching this ain't not watching, but I just ain't got I.
[17:15] Speaker 5: Feel like, no, this is why I feel like, Look,
[17:18] Speaker 5: this is a purpose, No.
[17:21] Speaker 3: Te I get you some to b so you can
[17:22] Speaker 3: watch the ship. Yo.
[17:26] Speaker 5: Look The reason why I say that because like when
[17:28] Speaker 5: I see him, like I seen another clip of him
[17:31] Speaker 5: like arguing with somebody. You can't for me if I'm
[17:34] Speaker 5: a comedian, I don't want to be a comedian because
[17:36] Speaker 5: people say I'm a funny motherfucker. I don't want to
[17:38] Speaker 5: go to the show and argue with nobody. And to me,
[17:41] Speaker 5: a good comedian, you don't got to just pick somebody
[17:44] Speaker 5: in the crowd to fuck with them, like I'm not coming. Look,
[17:47] Speaker 5: I don't want to come to your show and get roasted,
[17:49] Speaker 5: my nigga.
[17:50] Speaker 1: But that is real. That's why I never was that's possible.
[17:53] Speaker 3: That's a new way.
[17:53] Speaker 2: That's a new way of doing that's called, you know, CrowdWork.
[17:56] Speaker 2: So sometimes that is cool to do CrowdWork. And that's
[17:58] Speaker 2: like because sometimes people sit there and you want them
[18:00] Speaker 2: to have a good time. So you see somebody say
[18:01] Speaker 2: like unfold y'all on man, enjoy your thought. Man while
[18:03] Speaker 2: you looking like the last kid picked baking. I'm just saying, no,
[18:06] Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm not saying I try to
[18:09] Speaker 2: make it home. That's like, see y'all a smile with
[18:14] Speaker 2: me on the camera. Rip go downstairs, let me to
[18:19] Speaker 2: ride the hall, Gonna get in that car, and it'll
[18:22] Speaker 2: be like Rip had an unexpected hard on the way.
[18:25] Speaker 2: They'd be like another one.
[18:28] Speaker 3: Another hard Rip.
[18:29] Speaker 5: Like it's cool when like somebody's doing something stupid, like
[18:32] Speaker 5: you talking like every spears, I've seen somebody walking by
[18:36] Speaker 5: and like this motherfucker like going to the bathroom doing
[18:39] Speaker 5: your show. Now you deserve to get got. But if
[18:42] Speaker 5: I'm in the front, I don't want to take that bullet. Man,
[18:45] Speaker 5: I don't want to because y'all motherfuckers be roasting motherfucker.
[18:48] Speaker 3: But it's all the fun.
[18:49] Speaker 2: I think some comedians do it wrong, and I think
[18:51] Speaker 2: some comedians that you know do do it.
[18:53] Speaker 3: But it can't be a lot of fun. It can't
[18:54] Speaker 3: be CrowdWork can be a lot a lot of fun.
[18:56] Speaker 2: Like that's you know, I was the woman guy for
[18:58] Speaker 2: so many years, and like CrowdWork now, thanks to a
[19:00] Speaker 2: lot of people, is revolution because you make jokes for
[19:02] Speaker 2: people in that in that space. But just roasting somebody, no,
[19:05] Speaker 2: I think that's wrong. But like enjoying the moment, asking
[19:07] Speaker 2: the question, involving in their lives and and and and
[19:11] Speaker 2: bringing joy to it, I think that's I think that's dope.
[19:13] Speaker 2: Because my name is actually ripped Mike Heels. It's not Michaels,
[19:16] Speaker 2: it's actually n I c h e Als. So I
[19:19] Speaker 2: try to heal with the microphone, like because I know
[19:21] Speaker 2: my crowd, like I bring out a lot of hood people,
[19:23] Speaker 2: regular people with people buy tickets, and I think a
[19:25] Speaker 2: lot of comedians don't realize who buys your tickets or
[19:27] Speaker 2: what they go through to get a ticket. Like some
[19:29] Speaker 2: people this is they last twenty five dollars. Some people
[19:32] Speaker 2: just came home. Some people got going on. Some women
[19:34] Speaker 2: just being abused. It's so much and they come just
[19:36] Speaker 2: to laugh and escape that if you could take ten
[19:39] Speaker 2: minutes of somebody's day and get them not to think
[19:41] Speaker 2: about what's going in their life and make them smile,
[19:43] Speaker 2: because comedians always do is really turn tragedy into comedy,
[19:46] Speaker 2: because there's nothing funny when you talk about being beat
[19:48] Speaker 2: as a kid, but you're able to laugh, so you
[19:50] Speaker 2: can overcome it and make it a good memory instead
[19:52] Speaker 2: of something that's tragic and let go of it. So
[19:54] Speaker 2: I think that when you have that ability, you should,
[19:56] Speaker 2: you should, you should harness it. And just like that's
[19:58] Speaker 2: why I don't always stick to my MATERI sometimes I
[20:00] Speaker 2: would just look at the crowd and be like, tonight,
[20:02] Speaker 2: the crowd don't want this. Tonight, the crowd needs this
[20:04] Speaker 2: from me because I want everybody to go home and
[20:06] Speaker 2: feel the way. I'm not selfish. I don't want everybody
[20:08] Speaker 2: just to hear my story. You know what, all my
[20:09] Speaker 2: daughters going through this. I don't use it as therapy.
[20:11] Speaker 2: I use it as to make everyone else feel good.
[20:14] Speaker 2: And I think that's why I've been able to do
[20:16] Speaker 2: these eighteen thousand, nineteen thousand see to read this, because
[20:19] Speaker 2: that's the type of energy I put.
[20:20] Speaker 5: Into it, plus nineteen thousand big and.
[20:23] Speaker 3: I've done it in every facett.
[20:24] Speaker 2: Man, I'm not only just with the Wild Out Tour
[20:26] Speaker 2: creating that the April Fool's Comedy Jam, and it's comedy
[20:30] Speaker 2: and music. I take my friends with that with that's
[20:32] Speaker 2: hip hop and comedy together. So I take it's like
[20:35] Speaker 2: Fad Joe and Jady kisses on that and that's in
[20:37] Speaker 2: Kodak Black.
[20:37] Speaker 3: That's how that is because those are friends of mine.
[20:39] Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, We're gonna do the comedy,
[20:41] Speaker 3: y'all do the music and we will have fun.
[20:42] Speaker 2: And if you look at fall Back and Love, that
[20:44] Speaker 2: was me taking all my R and B friends and
[20:47] Speaker 2: putting R and B together with comedy.
[20:48] Speaker 3: So that tour was super dope because it was fun.
[20:50] Speaker 2: It was like one minute you'll see Brandy and then
[20:52] Speaker 2: you'll see Dray, and then you'll see Monica and then
[20:54] Speaker 2: you'll see DC Young Fly And it just took that
[20:57] Speaker 2: rhythm of just sitting there when the band is playing,
[20:59] Speaker 2: why waiting for the next act, and.
[21:01] Speaker 3: Just make it a NonStop party.
[21:02] Speaker 5: Wow.
[21:03] Speaker 3: Yeah, ain't even if the offer rip.
[21:04] Speaker 2: That's when I go into crowd and I'm super interactive
[21:06] Speaker 2: with that tour. And it's just these platforms that I
[21:08] Speaker 2: created just for my friends, just for everybody to have fun,
[21:11] Speaker 2: just for us to go and say, look what we
[21:12] Speaker 2: can do. Has a culture without the big the big
[21:16] Speaker 2: machines behind him because I didn't know that.
[21:17] Speaker 3: I didn't know that every comedian has some huge machine.
[21:20] Speaker 2: I didn't know that every comedians signed to some weird
[21:22] Speaker 2: live nation age deal.
[21:24] Speaker 3: I didn't know comedians wasn't selling out the arenas. I
[21:26] Speaker 3: didn't know that. I thought everybody was doing it themselves.
[21:28] Speaker 3: I found out the hard way.
[21:29] Speaker 2: I was supposed to do like a weekend in Vegas
[21:32] Speaker 2: with Kevin Hart, and we was going to mix the
[21:35] Speaker 2: brands and do like he has a a Kevin Hart
[21:37] Speaker 2: Weekend and we was gonna mix a while on that
[21:38] Speaker 2: weekend and we was gonna do this huge collab. And
[21:40] Speaker 2: he came back to me and he's like, yeah, ag
[21:42] Speaker 2: said they can't do it, and I was like a
[21:44] Speaker 2: g wait, wait a minute. I thought it was Oh,
[21:48] Speaker 2: it's not you, it's oh, it's AG. You have to okay.
[21:51] Speaker 3: I didn't know you had a boss partner, whatever you
[21:53] Speaker 3: want to say.
[21:54] Speaker 2: I didn't know that. So when you asked me a question,
[21:56] Speaker 2: it's me. But it's not no Live Nation, it's no
[21:58] Speaker 2: AG behind me. There's no it's just me doing.
[22:01] Speaker 5: You're doing, and you're doing ball clays and.
[22:04] Speaker 3: Every single arena in this country.
[22:05] Speaker 1: At least I was supposed to do something together.
[22:07] Speaker 3: You said we were gonna merge his Heartbeat weekend.
[22:09] Speaker 2: He has a thing called Heartbeat Weekend, and then we
[22:12] Speaker 2: were going to do the two brands, and it's gonna
[22:13] Speaker 2: be that's gonna be added to Heartbeat Weekend because that
[22:16] Speaker 2: weekend we we did the wound Out live, so I
[22:19] Speaker 2: had wild Out Live and Season Patterson. We was gonna
[22:20] Speaker 2: make it, do a pool party and make a whole package,
[22:22] Speaker 2: because you know, keV did wild Out.
[22:24] Speaker 3: He was on it for a while, but then age
[22:26] Speaker 3: he said, you know, we don't really want to merge
[22:28] Speaker 3: like that.
[22:30] Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, but I didn't know that
[22:33] Speaker 2: you had to go back I didn't know people had that,
[22:35] Speaker 2: but I didn't know. I was probably one of the
[22:37] Speaker 2: only comedians to sell out arenas by himself.
[22:39] Speaker 3: I didn't know that. I had no idea. I thought
[22:40] Speaker 3: that's what everybody did.
[22:42] Speaker 1: I was working.
[22:43] Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
[22:43] Speaker 1: I didn't.
[22:45] Speaker 5: But I ain't doing that.
[22:46] Speaker 1: keV probably just didn't want to do that ship man.
[22:48] Speaker 3: No, it's really it. Really when you look at it,
[22:51] Speaker 3: and even when you look at y'all went on to it,
[22:53] Speaker 3: that was Colin.
[22:53] Speaker 5: That was live nation when y'all want USA.
[22:55] Speaker 3: That was a live nation, when y'all.
[22:56] Speaker 1: Want things whatever, live nations.
[23:00] Speaker 5: Looking at him like without that company, they probably like, well,
[23:03] Speaker 5: who's he with? You know what I'm saying. But he's
[23:05] Speaker 5: doing it on his own.
[23:06] Speaker 1: He's proven. If they see they could look up your
[23:09] Speaker 1: receipts and see what the fuck you get.
[23:10] Speaker 5: But sometimes the corporate don't know until it's too late.
[23:13] Speaker 5: That's when they come when they see him selling out
[23:15] Speaker 5: ball Clays and the Guard and then doing this, and
[23:18] Speaker 5: then they'll they'll come and snatch them up.
[23:20] Speaker 1: But till now companies trying to high light.
[23:22] Speaker 2: You a thousand money for himself. No, I just felt
[23:26] Speaker 2: like when these companies approached me, I just didn't think
[23:29] Speaker 2: the deals make sense to me. It didn't make sense
[23:32] Speaker 2: to me because I've already done it. So when i'm
[23:35] Speaker 2: someone is I offer me a deal, and they got
[23:37] Speaker 2: these deals, And I tell any person, I will never
[23:39] Speaker 2: do a cross collateralization deal because that's just the loan.
[23:42] Speaker 2: They're giving you a loan against your ticket sales, and
[23:45] Speaker 2: if you don't sell it, then you don't get it
[23:47] Speaker 2: and you pay the loan back, which makes no sense.
[23:49] Speaker 2: And then if I'm already doing eighteen thousand seats and
[23:52] Speaker 2: you're splitting my gate with me, but then I split
[23:55] Speaker 2: my gate with me, you're selling me your marketing, you're
[23:57] Speaker 2: selling me your production, yourself.
[24:00] Speaker 3: Let me all these.
[24:01] Speaker 2: Different things that's coming out of my share of the money,
[24:03] Speaker 2: not your share of the money. And then at the
[24:06] Speaker 2: end of it, I'm splitting my ticket sales with you,
[24:08] Speaker 2: but you're not splitting anything that you bring. You're not
[24:11] Speaker 2: splitting you own ticket mass. Why am I not getting
[24:13] Speaker 2: any ticket masever you get food and beverages, Where's my
[24:16] Speaker 2: food and beverage? Where's my part of parking? So what
[24:20] Speaker 2: are we splitting? So how are you gonna come to
[24:22] Speaker 2: me and offer me something. I don't need your market anymore.
[24:24] Speaker 2: I've already proven this market. I'm already selling out eighteen
[24:26] Speaker 2: thousand six, so it added no value. So when I
[24:28] Speaker 2: sit with these companies, they're looking to me like I'm crazy.
[24:30] Speaker 2: But we could do more shows. So you want me
[24:31] Speaker 2: to do more shows and get half the money.
[24:33] Speaker 3: How does that make sense? Give you half the money
[24:37] Speaker 3: and do more shown?
[24:38] Speaker 6: Right?
[24:38] Speaker 5: You know we know he shit when he starts talking
[24:40] Speaker 5: about Park because that's that loud nation. We learned that
[24:43] Speaker 5: being on tour, like they care about the bid sales,
[24:46] Speaker 5: the parking. Fucking just the little shit park.
[24:50] Speaker 3: It's the smallest money in the ticket price.
[24:52] Speaker 2: They don't care about your ticket price because on top
[24:54] Speaker 2: of each ticket ticket Master it takes nineteen it's nineteen
[24:57] Speaker 2: dollars on a thirty dollars ticket.
[24:58] Speaker 3: It's a nineteen dollars fix on the thirty dollar ticket money.
[25:02] Speaker 2: So if you just think about it, if it's averages
[25:04] Speaker 2: nineteen to twenty dollars on top of your ticket price
[25:06] Speaker 2: that you get nothing about. And then once your tickets
[25:09] Speaker 2: starts selling them, they have the ability to resell them.
[25:11] Speaker 2: So they have the ability to pull the tickets sell
[25:13] Speaker 2: them for a higher price and give you the original price,
[25:15] Speaker 2: so you think you're.
[25:16] Speaker 3: Selling your tickets one hundred fifty dollars.
[25:17] Speaker 2: They pulled the ones that are selling when they see
[25:19] Speaker 2: how quickly, and they see the edps and they see
[25:22] Speaker 2: the ratios, and they pull it and then they resell
[25:24] Speaker 2: it for hire and you still get one hundred dollars,

[28:28] Speaker 2: I don't want to know what Michael Blacks told me
[28:31] Speaker 2: all this, so it's all fake, all right, it's coming
[28:34] Speaker 2: from a blanket on canw.
[28:38] Speaker 3: Suck get me? Robbed out of here? You robbed me?

[28:52] Speaker 7: Got you?
[28:56] Speaker 3: No, it's uh.
[28:57] Speaker 2: Honestly, before I had a heart attack, I literally wouldn't care,
[29:01] Speaker 2: like if you look at it, the old stuff. I
[29:02] Speaker 2: didn't really care how I dress like or really care
[29:05] Speaker 2: to push myself. And I always stay behind the scenes,
[29:07] Speaker 2: like I've done these things for years, man like, and
[29:10] Speaker 2: I never really even thought about being in the forefront.
[29:13] Speaker 2: I was just always happy just to do what I do, gotcha.
[29:17] Speaker 2: And then like I thought I was gonna die. When
[29:19] Speaker 2: I was in the hospital, I had an attack. Yeah,
[29:21] Speaker 2: I had to all attacked twice. I had an art
[29:23] Speaker 2: attack in Atlanta, And then I thought I was gonna
[29:25] Speaker 2: get better. And then when I when I had the
[29:26] Speaker 2: heart attack after the show and at the Apollo, I
[29:29] Speaker 2: just I've been in the hospital. I was in the
[29:31] Speaker 2: hospital for like like eight months, and and and uh
[29:35] Speaker 2: the Mayo Clinic and Phoenix and big shots of Daniel
[29:39] Speaker 2: and Joe and they came to visit me. And when
[29:41] Speaker 2: I was a l J big shout to Envy and
[29:42] Speaker 2: Nick Can they came to visit me. It's just I
[29:45] Speaker 2: just thought I wasn't gonna make it, and everybody thought
[29:46] Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna make it. And I'm honestly still not better.
[29:49] Speaker 2: I'm on a heart transplant list. I still got to
[29:51] Speaker 2: get a heart. I'm still looking for that. But that's
[29:54] Speaker 2: why every day is grateful. So when I when I
[29:56] Speaker 2: came out, I started really caring and I was like,
[30:00] Speaker 2: I gave me the ability to even be here, Like
[30:02] Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm here and sitting here and I'm not
[30:06] Speaker 2: supposed to be here, but I'm supposed to be here,
[30:10] Speaker 2: but I'm supposed to be here. So now I promise
[30:13] Speaker 2: God that I will I will, I will. I won't
[30:14] Speaker 2: stand in the background anymore. And I'm gonna share my
[30:17] Speaker 2: story so other people can do it. And now I'm
[30:19] Speaker 2: gonna step out on faith and I'm I'm gonna raise
[30:22] Speaker 2: my stock and go hired it. And I was ever
[30:24] Speaker 2: supposed to go because it's not about me. It's about
[30:26] Speaker 2: me sharing my story so the next person can do
[30:28] Speaker 2: it and continue keeping it to myself. Then I'm not
[30:32] Speaker 2: creating a legacy for anyone to come behind me. So
[30:35] Speaker 2: I'm gonna show people that you can do this. I'm
[30:36] Speaker 2: gonna show people you don't need these deals. I'm gonna
[30:38] Speaker 2: show people that you can take it from being a
[30:40] Speaker 2: small comedian sleeping on the streets of New York with
[30:42] Speaker 2: your daughter to selling out areenas and being number two
[30:44] Speaker 2: on Poststar and having Apollo special that did a million
[30:47] Speaker 2: in like the first week, like independently, and that's.
[30:51] Speaker 3: What I'm trying to do.
[30:52] Speaker 5: You got a heart attack on stage, right on side
[30:54] Speaker 5: of the stage, and it was rush to story what
[30:56] Speaker 5: goes because when we interview Tracy Morgan, he told me
[30:59] Speaker 5: and murder we I got the closest to Gord in
[31:02] Speaker 5: this fucking room. And you're the second comedian that could
[31:05] Speaker 5: say that ship too. Right. Yeah, So you're on stage
[31:10] Speaker 5: and you know you it's just you know, you're on
[31:11] Speaker 5: the road. We always know the road life and fucks
[31:13] Speaker 5: up your body, you know, murders.
[31:17] Speaker 3: See sleep.
[31:19] Speaker 5: Now what goes through your mind? Like what do you see?
[31:21] Speaker 5: You do you when your eyes are closed? You have
[31:23] Speaker 5: a heart attack?
[31:24] Speaker 3: Like what the fuck?
[31:25] Speaker 5: Like what did you see when your eyes were closed?
[31:27] Speaker 5: Like what was it like having a heart attack? On stage.
[31:30] Speaker 5: It's just crazy to me because I think fat Man
[31:32] Speaker 5: school did he don't see what's the peace? So like,
[31:36] Speaker 5: what was going through your mind? Like what's the mindset.
[31:45] Speaker 2: That I hope everybody enjoys the rest of the show,
[31:51] Speaker 2: and that I hope that I don't stop it so
[31:55] Speaker 2: it can't continue.
[31:57] Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the first coming in my mind.
[32:02] Speaker 2: Because I put those people on seats, they came out
[32:05] Speaker 2: because I gave him a flyer, I emailed them, I
[32:07] Speaker 2: text them, and I know how hard it is sometimes
[32:10] Speaker 2: to get the money off of that. So that was
[32:11] Speaker 2: the first thing I was thinking. And then the second
[32:14] Speaker 2: thing I was thinking was like, well, would I leave
[32:16] Speaker 2: my kids behind, my wife behind what?
[32:18] Speaker 3: What?
[32:21] Speaker 5: What?
[32:21] Speaker 3: Did I leave them?
[32:22] Speaker 2: A whole bunch of behind the scenes stuff that nobody knows. Yeah,
[32:26] Speaker 2: that's what I was thinking about. Damn, that's all it
[32:29] Speaker 2: was in my mind.
[32:31] Speaker 3: You know, it's great, Yeah, she being at that happened.
[32:34] Speaker 3: So how do you do?
[32:34] Speaker 1: You do you get nervous now a little bit where
[32:36] Speaker 1: you perform on stage?
[32:38] Speaker 2: No, fearless, now, got you. I'm fearless. It's fun. It's fun, man,
[32:45] Speaker 2: it's fun. What is what say that doesn't kill me?
[32:48] Speaker 3: Make me stronger.
[32:51] Speaker 2: Yeah that that definitely I'm fearless now, and I'm just
[32:56] Speaker 2: because I'm like, I'm back on stage. I have an
[32:58] Speaker 2: opportunity to be funny. So now I took it for
[33:00] Speaker 2: granted before. I'm like, so not every show I cheated
[33:04] Speaker 2: like it's my last show. So whether I got a
[33:06] Speaker 2: million shows or fifty shows, a one show, maybe the
[33:09] Speaker 2: Barkley sent it. Whatever it is, I'm I'm gonna live
[33:12] Speaker 2: it and enjoy it to the footage I'm gonna give.
[33:13] Speaker 2: I can't say give it with all my heart because
[33:14] Speaker 2: then that's not that much.
[33:23] Speaker 3: It's crazy.
[33:24] Speaker 5: That's crazy because.
[33:25] Speaker 3: You wait for heart. Man, it's just a it's a
[33:28] Speaker 3: thing you wait for heart. It's this weird man process
[33:30] Speaker 3: with that, it's just a weird process.
[33:31] Speaker 2: Because I move a little easier, though you can't be
[33:33] Speaker 2: as as you. I keep EMTs now everywhere I go.
[33:38] Speaker 3: I got a.
[33:40] Speaker 2: Home health aid and the nurse that I gotta. You know,
[33:43] Speaker 2: my readings are every day. Doctor is a constant monitor
[33:45] Speaker 2: to me. And some days are good, some days are bad.
[33:47] Speaker 2: Some days I don't get out of bed, and some
[33:49] Speaker 2: days I'm Sometimes for weeks I'm no good. So I
[33:53] Speaker 2: try to make sure everything continue to move with or
[33:55] Speaker 2: without me. And that's just a different pacing because when
[33:58] Speaker 2: you you you're looking for a life organ, you realize
[34:00] Speaker 2: that someone has to pass away or someone has to
[34:02] Speaker 2: no longer need it for you to live. So it
[34:06] Speaker 2: just puts you in a whole different minestate. Like I
[34:07] Speaker 2: ain't gonna lie to you now. Every time I hear ambulance,
[34:09] Speaker 2: I'd be like, is that my blessing?
[34:11] Speaker 1: Damn?
[34:12] Speaker 3: That's is that for me? When somebody get shot out, like,
[34:15] Speaker 3: don't shoot them in the chest, please hashots only. I
[34:21] Speaker 3: don't need the brain.
[34:29] Speaker 1: From being so positive. I'm just I would happy to
[34:32] Speaker 1: be here and say, well, just hit somebody in the head.
[34:35] Speaker 3: If you're gonna do crimes, come on now.
[34:39] Speaker 2: I'm just trying to make light because it's it's a
[34:41] Speaker 2: real serious situation and and and and every time I
[34:45] Speaker 2: talk about it, somebody emails me or somebody dms me
[34:47] Speaker 2: and tells me thank you because they're going through it.
[34:49] Speaker 2: And my heart is congestive heart Failure's congenial because I
[34:52] Speaker 2: got it for my dad. But it's congestive heart failure.
[34:54] Speaker 2: So it's nothing that I did from eating, It's nothing
[34:56] Speaker 2: from diet it's just something that just over time from
[34:59] Speaker 2: not know that this was something in the side of
[35:01] Speaker 2: my heart that had just caught up. So that's why
[35:04] Speaker 2: I teach preventative. I teach tell people to go get
[35:07] Speaker 2: checked out, find out what you gotta do, find out.
[35:09] Speaker 3: Before it gets to that point.
[35:10] Speaker 2: So that's and then if you notice, I donated my
[35:13] Speaker 2: last year, we donated to American Heart Association. And I
[35:17] Speaker 2: constantly have people like at the Pollo we taught CPR.
[35:19] Speaker 2: We constantly I don't want anyone else to go through
[35:22] Speaker 2: this because you don't have to.
[35:25] Speaker 1: If you would have got checked out earlier, could have
[35:26] Speaker 1: been visited.
[35:28] Speaker 3: I could have lived a different lifestyle and I could
[35:30] Speaker 3: have kept up kept my own heart. It's just a
[35:31] Speaker 3: little longer.
[35:33] Speaker 2: M just a little longer because I'm going in the
[35:37] Speaker 2: thing and it's like, oh, you're gonna give you a stamp,
[35:39] Speaker 2: you know, just because you ate too much now? And
[35:41] Speaker 2: then did that that right hard calf And they went
[35:44] Speaker 2: in in and literally like in seconds, they were like
[35:47] Speaker 2: stop everything, and all the cardiac arrest team came in
[35:51] Speaker 2: and it was like ten doctors standing over me, and
[35:54] Speaker 2: then it just took me on the thing and it
[35:56] Speaker 2: was just like you got to go to CCU. You
[35:57] Speaker 2: gotta and the nurses start changing from like being jokey, joky,
[36:01] Speaker 2: I'm just making jokes to and.
[36:03] Speaker 3: Prescriptions to like asking me like who's your pastor?
[36:07] Speaker 2: And like quote, I went from prescriptions to scriptures and
[36:12] Speaker 2: just the hard thing to take and I did it.
[36:14] Speaker 3: I was by myself during that time, and it just
[36:16] Speaker 3: it's it's hard, man, it is. It is hard. But
[36:18] Speaker 3: God got me through it.
[36:19] Speaker 7: It is.
[36:20] Speaker 3: It is really hard when you you face with that
[36:22] Speaker 3: and you got to pair your.
[36:23] Speaker 5: Size, your family, what you gonna live them, because we
[36:25] Speaker 5: all know we programmed to die. Yeah, yeah, it's part
[36:29] Speaker 5: of the program right there. But it's when it comes
[36:32] Speaker 5: and it's right there for you. That's crazy. Why you
[36:35] Speaker 5: said on stage, on the side on the side of
[36:37] Speaker 5: the stop, we'll just you know, doing what you do
[36:40] Speaker 5: on the side on the side of the.
