Will's Comedy Roots and Open Mic Beginnings
00:06:17
Speaker
into it. right off and I got to ask you this at some point because I know you got stories. but How long have you been doing the stand-up comedy thing? Mmm, yeah.
00:06:30
Speaker
Around 30 years. Around 30. Wow. Yeah. Was it something that you knew you wanted to get into or did you just kind of i just i bullshit I'm kind of funny. I think I could make people laugh. well I'm a weirdo and I always ah there's there's there's there's real stories about the stupidity that I used to do. When I was small child like kindergarten and first grade I used to go out and get those ah How old you? How old are you, sir?
00:07:00
Speaker
forty five 45. you went to school, did they have those little book things you had to buy or something? that you do A book sheet or something? You'd order kind of books? Oh, like the scholastic you'd open up and you'd get there? yeah we Well, they did that and they had stupid joke books. When was in kindergarten and first grade, I'd get these joke books out there.
00:07:22
Speaker
And if I didn't act a fool while getting my hair cut, they'd let me do like five minutes of memorized jokes. I'd memorize some of the joke books. And ah that's that's where my that's how it began. But ah I got started by ah watching Evening at the Improv one night. And a girl I was dating at the time was like, i told her was funnier than half the people I'm watching on TV. And she's like, put up or shut up.
00:07:44
Speaker
And I've been here ever since. Damn. Oh, yeah. She called you right out. Yep, and I know did it two weeks later. I did open mic at the Comedy Zone in Memphis and ah yeah, done a bunch of stuff since then. you've done it I mean, I was looking at your website and there's not much that you haven't done at all at the end of the day.
Touring with Keenan Ivory Wayans
00:08:05
Speaker
Yeah, there's a lot. There's a I don't try to brag about it because it's just you're always most the most the the most ah the biggest thing you've got is the last thing you've done. So, you know, keep moving forward.
00:08:19
Speaker
Amen to that, but I mean, you know, 30 years in the business, you know, you've got experience, you know, you, not only do you have experience and knowledge, but you know, I got to ask you right out the gate. Cause I grew up watching these guys and I still love these guys to the day.
00:08:35
Speaker
Uh, you, you were on tour with Keenan Ivory weights. Yeah. Yeah. Um, What was that experience like? And please tell me he's a good guy. I have to say, never going to talk bad about a win, okay? At least not on camera. That's a joke. That's a joke.
00:08:56
Speaker
That's a joke. I know Kenan's awesome. I love Kenan. You got to understand. There's certain levels of comics that don't want to deal with the bullshit anymore. And I get that. Okay. So like the first night I ever worked with Kenan, I was at the Dallas him at Addison improv. And they called me in because they didn't know he was going funny because a certain other brother came through the month before one was not funny. So they called me in just the case. And, uh, so the first night we worked together, we don't even really talk before the show or anything. He's, uh,
00:09:27
Speaker
He just, you know, he goes up. I do my set, have a great set. He does his set. At the end of the night, we're in the green room, which was the office back then. And he's talking to me. He's not even talking to me He got his hood up, trying not to do things. he's like, uh, my friend Art, who was like the DJ way back then, he was just like, Hey man, I need, can you send my copy? Lowdown, dirty shame. My girlfriend loves this movie. She's watched like 30 times and all this stuff. And I'm a dick.
00:09:52
Speaker
So I was like, yeah, she had to watch that movie 30 times to get the taste of low to, uh, to get the taste of, What was the movie? I can't remember. It was a glimmer man out mouth. I told him that.
00:10:02
Speaker
but yeah And that woke him up.
Becoming an Honorary Wayans
00:10:05
Speaker
He pulled it he'd pulled down his hoodie from there. He was like, oh, you think you're funny? I like, no, sir, I know I am. You should probably watch me the next night. and ah And he did. He did. And then like two weeks later, ended up going tour with him and had like couple months of fun.
00:10:20
Speaker
No, that's that's awesome. Like said, I grew up. I grew up on them. I mean, going back to. Oh, so did I. So did I. Trust me. I was keen in every way is when he first released that movie. I'm gonna get you suck. It became an instant inspiration and fan to me. And then less than 10 years later, I'm actually working and opening up from him and making him laugh and tell him to tell him him, tell him, him, tell me to get the hell out of way. get out of his room and stuff because I'm being stupid. Yeah. Yeah. Kenan's awesome. Kenan and Damon, they're awesome. You know, they're awesome. They're awesome people, awesome comics.
00:10:51
Speaker
Nah, that's awesome. but That, like I said, I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, that, that family to have that opportunity, their families never not been on top at the end of the day.
00:11:04
Speaker
Yeah. True. Like, so they have that I was allow to be trying to get his mom to adopt me one time. I was like, come on, Ms. Wayne. I just want to be able to call myself one more Wayne. And she was like, get away from me. She was laughing. She was laugh kid like, get away from my mama. And just I'm like, okay, mama.
00:11:24
Speaker
I mean, you could have just snuck into the family. I mean, there they there's so many kids, they probably wouldn't have noticed one more. but That might have been. That might have been true. to to Yeah.
00:11:36
Speaker
No, that's that's awesome. and and how How long had you been doing comedy at that point when you got
Balancing Comedy with Fun
00:11:42
Speaker
that opportunity? oh like six years.
00:11:48
Speaker
Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. yeah So you just right out the gate just. yeah um all but You got caught out on your bullshit and you just took off. and pretty good Pretty much. I'm i'm i'm a weirdo. i just i do ah When I go for something, i pretty much go balls to the wall on it.
00:12:09
Speaker
and ah Comedy is fun, plus they give you tequila. I'm good. Let's have fun. yeah i could Booze, I'm in. yeah it ah oh yeah and i think it's the other thing, man. is you know Ultimately, you see some comics that are out there And sometimes they take themselves a little too seriously.
00:12:28
Speaker
That's true. You got to have fun. You got to have that mindset of I literally just get to make people laugh for a living.
00:12:39
Speaker
Yeah. And, you know, it's good for the soul at the end of the day. i mean, that's the best. I mean, not to be cliche or whatever, but they say laughter is the best medicine. Well, see I'm a little weird weirder than that. I want to make everybody laugh. If I piss a bunch of people off while making other people laugh, that that makes me really happy.
00:12:54
Speaker
And I always piss somebody out for something. I really do. there's I know we say you said there's no politics or religion on the show, which I'm great with, but in my show, that does not count. We make fun of everything and everybody. I know that's not here that's a hard that's a hard rule to have with comedians, and I'm learning that.
00:13:10
Speaker
And I think it's more of a it's it's more of a, I don't care to make fun of politics and a religion because Lord knows I do. It's more of, I don't want to dive into a deep a deep debate with you. I don't care. i get I get it. I get it. I completely understand that because some people take a podcast, I've been on a podcast before and they thought I was a right wing comic and I was not. And then we had to have a debate and I'm just like, this is not what I signed up for, sir. You are. exactly i've i've met I've had a comedian that I,
00:13:37
Speaker
that I was fighting the steering wheel with not to do you know a couple you know not too long ago, where that he kept wanting to go down this road. I'm like, no, we we' we're staying over here, man. Like, we're we're not. Make your change. Yeah.
00:13:50
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I'm not. we i want Look, we'll go wherever you want to go. I'm not driving tonight. I don't have to be anywhere. I'm just sitting around, hanging out, maybe ah smoke something sometime. Hell yeah, there you go.
00:14:01
Speaker
No, I think that's great. I mean, and that's ah that's the problem, you know, with the world we live in, unfortunately, It's comedy. You're going to make fun of what's going on in the news. going to make fun of the politics. You're going to make fun of whatever crazy shit is happening with with Catholic priests at that time or whatever you know church. You're going to make fun of it. But there's always going to be that one or small group of assholes who get offended.
00:14:27
Speaker
like You can't do a comedy show. what did you What did you think was going to happen? Yeah. Those the people I want to offend personally right there. I'm like, oh, that bothered you? Wait till the second part of the joke. Let's go Right, exactly. Well, how do you deal with the hecklers?
Handling Hecklers with Humor
00:14:46
Speaker
I'm very mean. this new world where people think crowd work is comedy and they want always interject something, I will make you cry. Nice. I will send you home to your parents in a wet diaper. I don't care about you. If you want to heckle me while I'm having fun. Listen, heckle me on this late show Friday night see happens. That means I've already been drinking since the first show on Friday night. And you want to start something? And I'm trying to go, oh, we're going to have some fun and you ain't going like any of it. Yeah, exactly. I've been asking comedians that because that seems to be the new craze is that crowd work, which some guys are great at it.
00:15:29
Speaker
However, I don't want to come and watch. I don't want to come and you know spend the the entire time watching you talk to the crowd. Yeah, exactly. I get that. I don't do that. Yeah, I'll mess with... I'll find some people to mess with in my show to have fun with, you know, if they look awkward or something. Like, I just came... Where were we last weekend? South Bend, Indiana. And I had... The shows are fun, but it was just like this one couple front who... I asked them to do me a favor even before the show because they didn't know it was a comic. I didn't know they were going to sit up front, and it just got weird. And then because of them and messing with other people, I made a girl with anxiety hug me because it was okay. And it just...
00:16:06
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, she didn't have to do it. She was like, okay, cool. I'm like, all right, cool. You feel good? All right, let's make fun of people over here. yeah I have material. I'll tell anybody by that I can do an hour and a half for some material any night you want me to. But if you want me to have some fun, it's going to go slightly off the rails and let's see who you people are. if you're interesting If you're interesting enough for me to notice and I'm not being mean to you, that's a great thing. If you're being trying to be mean to me and I'm like, okay, it's time for me to kill people.
00:16:34
Speaker
time for me to kill people. We were at a heckler that make you want to throw them out. I've thrown hecklers out. I have no I've thrown a couple of hecklers out. I have no problem with it. I mean, because it's very oh Birmingham, Birmingham Stardome, probably two years ago. we well that the year we did that? That that little white woman left.
00:16:57
Speaker
It was a whole, it was this whole table people. And this one will little white lady hated me. Her husband's having a blast. The rest of the table, she hated me. So she said something to me I said something back and she's like, well, I'm going leave. was like, bye bitch. And she thought her husband was coming with her. And he just sat down like, she'll be in the car. She'll be there. She said, I got the keys. She can't go anywhere. And he stayed the rest of the show and left her in the car, came and bought merchandise, bought her a shirt just to like here just make it up. buba I was like, ha ha.
00:17:28
Speaker
It was beautiful. It was be beautiful. That is awesome. Oh, man. You know, that poor, that poor guy. You know, he got it. Oh, I know he got it. I know he got it. He got, he got eaten up on the way home, but I was, it was worth it. My favorite night. I'm gonna tell you this. I know we got but my favorite story all the time in the world, man. I love hearing the stories.
00:17:48
Speaker
My favorite story ever about somebody being like that. We were in Minneapolis. There's a club there. What was club called? Not Minneapolis. Sorry. Milwaukee called. And I can't remember the name of the strip of the club, but it was underneath the strip club. Uh,
00:18:01
Speaker
And one night, it was a Saturday night late show, I think. No, Saturday early show. And this whole family coming. It was like 60 of them, right? And everybody's having fun except for this one chick in front. And she's heckling the emcee, the feature act, the guest spot. And she starts with me. And that was bad because I i just, you know, I'm not nice.
00:18:25
Speaker
I'm not nice. I might be nice if humans stage. I'm not nice. And she started in on me, and I just released a torrent of horribleness to me. And she just got up. She's like, well, fuck you. I don't need this. I brought all these people. We're going to leave right now. Fuck you, her. And started walking up the stairs, and nobody was with her, none of them. And her mama was sitting right next to her when when she got when she was fucking with me. And when he left when she left, the mama was like, I told that bitch not to fuck with you. I don't know why she had to fuck with you. I don't know.
00:18:59
Speaker
And the best part of it, none of those 60 people left it except for her. She had to come back down like 30 minutes later on and sit her ass down. And that was so much fun.
00:19:10
Speaker
So much fun. yeah I will pay for your Uber if you really want to leave, bitch. I do not care about you. other person out your party is having fun and buying merchandise. Get away from me.
00:19:21
Speaker
Yeah, it don't just because you're in a... I bet every time that bitch, she was a bitch, she throws a shirt at her. but okay No, just because you're a miserable human being,
00:19:37
Speaker
you know they paid to come see you sit your hands that up the fuck up you know enjoy the godd damn show just laugh Yeah, it's not like anybody was not fun on this show tonight. You just want to interrupt their ass, and now I'm going to make you cry. And the best part about that, the best part about that whole story is the owner of the club with going to his manager, who was the girlfriend of his at the time. He like, we need to kick that bitch out here right now. And the manager was like, no.
00:20:01
Speaker
yeah No, give her to Moe. And that's happened. why she was like, give her to Moe. I was like, oh, okay, let's go and do this. All right, all right. got free reign. Now it's on. now Now I know I can get at her. Yeah. but They were like, please take care her. I got you, boys. I got you. Yeah. who she yeah yeah I love that. I mean, I love – recently, my algorithm is is such a mess with – with different, you know, the different shows and guests and stuff that I do. But lately I've fallen into the comedians destroying hecklers.
00:20:41
Speaker
yeah And some of them are, judge I don't know what it is. Sometimes it's like, I think that's better than the comedy. Sometimes you see people just getting freaking trash. some Sometimes it is better than the comedy show because we go off, we,
00:20:59
Speaker
We lose it. I mean, if it's to the point where you make us not angry, but just like, ah I have to deal with you for real. All right, let's go. It's like, but once you get angry, in a different thing. But once be if you really want to play, we can go for a few seconds and I'll tear you apart. You'll never, your friends will never let you live it down. And that's, it's fun. It's, it's not necessary to happen all the time. I don't want to do it every single night, but some of those nights when it happens,
00:21:24
Speaker
Ooh, it's just fun. Yeah. Well, I pay good money to be an idiot. Exactly. Exactly. Thank you. Why pay good money to be an idiot? Because I will talk about you in the next show. I really will. I do all the time. I do that all the time. The next show, like you wouldn't believe this bitch from last night, which he did. And I just go off.
00:21:42
Speaker
That's the beginning of the story for that night. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's awesome. Yeah. You know, especially if you're, you know if you're doing, uh, Oh, excuse me. If you're doing you know a weekend's worth of shows, you know people may know that person.
00:21:57
Speaker
And if you start to kind of talk about them or bust their balls some more, they're going to be like, oh, yeah, we know we know her. That's Brenda. She's a dumb bitch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:22:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah. It it happens, yeah. Then we do a small town America, you know. as a What was that? A long time ago, I got did a gig in Altus, Oklahoma, and I'll never go back to
Turning Negatives into Positives: A Racist Heckler
00:22:21
Speaker
ever again. Haven't done it in 20-something years. I'm never going back.
00:22:25
Speaker
and ah we're So, wait. I can say what I need to say. I'm not to get beeped or anything? You can say whatever the hell you want to say. So I'm almost off stage about to close up my show. And this woman just says, just, just says you're a stupid N word to me.
00:22:40
Speaker
shit Yeah. And I, you know, I go back and just go off for a few minutes. And she's like, my brother's the leader of the Klan here. We're to care of you tonight. I'm like, bitch, please. Anyway. Sounds smart. one so this the funniest part about the whole story was I was selling merch, and everybody else in that bar came up about merch that night. Like, we're so sorry about her. We hate her, too. We hate her. And the book, and hear the the part that made me mad at first was the booker called me a hotel room like 1 o'clock in the morning. He was like, I heard you call somebody a cunt tonight on Strate. I was like, well, yeah, I did because she called me a nigger. and ah Okay, I'm sorry to bob You get some rest. I'll talk to you later. I was like, oh, I didn't hear that part. Oh, yeah, okay.
00:23:24
Speaker
It's funny how you hear the whole story. You only got part Yeah, you hear the whole story. Yeah, exactly. It was just so soon as said what you did, he was like, oh, I'm so sorry. You get some rest. It was so funny to me.
00:23:34
Speaker
That's awesome. The balls on people, though. Yeah, for real. But again, that's, you know, at the end of the day, let's be honest, that's pretty much par for the course in Oklahoma. But, you know, ah we're not we're not surprised. Yeah. This day and age, man, and social media might end up tagged in the comedian. if a Comedian talks about you.
00:23:54
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I'll talk. I'll talk shit to people all the time. I don't care. It's not like I have to be nice to him. I i thought you're a good friend of comic. No, I talk about fisting midgets every now and then. No, I'm not a nice person. I mean, you're your own boss at the end of the day. I mean, you you might not be welcome back in a couple cities or a couple you know a couple comedy clubs, but at the end of the day, you're you're your own boss. You have to answer to yourself.
00:24:20
Speaker
It's not like ah somebody's going to Oh, go tell oh well Mo Alexander said this and this and this to me. oh what to fuck I'll tell them in my show like if you're offended by that, tell the management because they already know who they booked and they borrow but I'm already being booked back so you're not going to get much from them.
Performing for Varied Audiences
00:24:41
Speaker
Yeah, that's the other thing. like They already know. They know what they're getting when they book you. it's not like It's not like they just go, oh, this guy's a comedian. We don't know anything about him. Let's let's book him. Let's give him a children's show.
00:24:54
Speaker
Yeah. It's all a church show with all the ah grannies coming right after church. I actually had to do it. I used to have to do a kids show when I played the Bahamas. They they tried for like a year to like the early show, with the kids show, the second show, the regular adult show.
00:25:13
Speaker
And I barely survived all those shows. I barely survived because you had to deal with the parents and they bring in children as in there's a baby here. What am I supposed to do with a baby? Yeah. So I just, want you know, how do you, how do you even start to do comedy for, for kids?
00:25:37
Speaker
That's a very good question but to which you, uh, just have to do a quick edit on everything. I mean, I'm lucky enough to have enough material where I can fake it, you know, um, There's enough old stuff I still have that I can bring out when I was a friendlier comic and can you know how talk about how SpongeBob SquarePants teaches cannibalism.
Evolution of Will's Comedic Style
00:26:02
Speaker
everything its just the middle of a they know with The parents are dying. but That's the best part because you can't do anything with the kids. They're just... doing yeah but The parents are dying and come see the late show. Y'all here for the early show? thank God. what take you Leave those damn babies at home, please. ah
00:26:21
Speaker
Ain't this supposed to be a swingers resort? What you people doing? All right. You're bringing your kids here. yeah you yeah I like how you said in my younger days when you were a nicer, back when you were green and didn't really know any better. nigger Oh, yeah i yeah. My first album, if anybody has that copy, which they better not have, i was a clean comic back then. And then as I progressed over the years and began to drink and hate people, i'm like, oh, yeah, this is who I really am. Yeah, let me just do this. until i mean
00:26:52
Speaker
I tell people at least four or five times a day that I'm just old and I'm grumpy now. So, you know, I i used to be much, I mean, I'm a friendly guy, but I used to be much friendlier, you know, 20 years ago. Now I'm old and I'm grumpy and I've seen it all and I've been through it all and I just don't have time for anything anymore. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I mean, i really have I really have a problem with actually setting a human being on fire. I really have no problem with that. right some of them Some of them need it. Let's be honest. Exactly.
00:27:18
Speaker
like yeah
00:27:22
Speaker
I love it. And the crazy thing about, you know, we're talking about the hecklers and the crazy people. It's cool to see a a comedian that is quick to react because sometimes you see, you know, you see some of the younger comedians or even comedians that have been doing it for a while.
00:27:40
Speaker
They're so easy to get thrown off their game. Yeah. And then they're just in a tailspin and they still got another 30 minutes or whatever. But I think that speaks volumes for a comedian that can deal with the situation, properly deal with the situation, make everybody else in the room laugh outside of the one or two assholes, but then turn around and go right back into their set and continue to have a good time for the rest of the night and not be completely thrown off and You know just kind of you can tell it it kills the room. you know that why thats That's why I tell young comics, don't try to do crowd work. It's not your thing yet. Just write your jokes. The crowd work will come as you work the road for five or six years. You'll learn how to jump in and out of your stuff and jump in and out and come back.
Advice for Young Comedians: Focus on Writing
00:28:27
Speaker
Karate jump around the neck. Get back into your material. can i mean It's a muscle you have to learn to work. and So many young comics don't know that and they just immediately attack them and like, Yeah, that wasn't funny what you said. That was just mean. and You can be mean and funny and funny and mean, when you're just straight mean, that's going not look good.
00:28:45
Speaker
Yeah, you're just an asshole at that time. Yeah, did yeah the ah you know. Yeah, you got to learn the difference real quick and in a hurry. ah As far as your comedy goes, you know, 30 years in the in the business, I'm sure it's changed up over time.
00:29:03
Speaker
ah ah You know, are you Are you more of the storyteller or are you he's like jokes? you know Do the one the one-liners?
00:29:14
Speaker
it's um but It's both inside of each other. There's jokes, there's stories there's stories, there's jokes. Both of them are intertwined. if If I'm doing my job right that night, they're all intertwining inside out each other because that's the way life is. They all intertwine at some point.
00:29:30
Speaker
my comedy's like a very My comedy is a very shallow version of The Dark Tower by Stephen King. With pretty much that many references. You've got to go back and go, oh, he said that in that book. Okay, now I understand what Mo talks about. Gotcha. Gotcha.
00:29:49
Speaker
You've got to be following him Mo for a long time. i Seriously, so there are some jokes like that. they'll just yeah There are some things like that. It's just like, oh he brought that back out. Oh, you bastard. yeah that' you should hey so Sometimes you've got to dive into the archive. and you got to bring some there's i didn't talking about I brought this story back last week. don't even know how it came out of my mouth, but I just started talking about the time i almost accidentally...
00:30:16
Speaker
I killed myself while taking acid because I don't do acid. and I took acid and i was doing ah there was a sexual escapade going on. I forgot to take ah forgot how to take off a shirt and going to strangle myself to death. And that's a true st story. It's a true story, but there's jokes inside the story. But it's a true, absolutely true story. happened to It happened during COVID because I didn't do acid, but we had acid and I was bored. So I said, fuck it, let's do acid.
00:30:41
Speaker
fuck' never been that As the kids say, YOLO. yeah yeah The worst part about it, dude, I was awake and annoyed for another 12 hours.
00:30:52
Speaker
Just annoyed. it's Just aggravated. Just mad. but I can't believe I almost killed myself doing a blowjob. This is ridiculous. cal of It's mad. you could could It wasn't even turned on anymore. Just mad about it for 12 hours. Just awake.
00:31:12
Speaker
I don't even do acid. What a waste of an acid. So mad at myself. that and then i I'm telling you a bunch of stories that nobody's heard right now. Like last week, we were doing mushrooms because I haven't done mushrooms before. and I was doing mushrooms. And I was, and same thing almost happened with what happened was I forgot to eat dinner before I ate the mushroom.
Wild Escapades: Mushrooms and Comedy
00:31:35
Speaker
So I did the mushroom first and then I'm eating food and I'm like overly chewing my food.
00:31:40
Speaker
Cause I'm like counting every chew. Cause I'm like, I don't need to choke myself trying to eat at mushrooms and then have two different stories about how much I almost killed myself while taking mushroom hallucinogenic drugs. And yeah, my life is stupid.
00:31:54
Speaker
You know, maybe maybe drugs aren't for you. No, no. Well, i'm I'm mad about the whole thing from the 80s because all the kids in the 80s are, you know, preteen and preteen in the 80s and stuff. And I'm just like, you know what?
00:32:08
Speaker
They used to tell us not to do drugs at Nancy Ray. Don't do drugs. And for the longest time, I listened to them like they were actually caring about a human being in this society. And I didn't do drugs. I started doing some drugs, nothing like cocaine, because that just makes your hair hurt. But, you know, I was just doing some, like, weed and stuff. And I was like, fuck these people for lying to me for decades about the drugs I should have been doing much early on in my life. Now I'm doing drugs. Fuck out with all you people. I'm doing everything.
Lifestyle Choices and Comedy
00:32:32
Speaker
like All these years wasted. All these years wasted, seriously. i started to i did not smoke i honestly did not smoke weed until after I was already doing comedy. and I was 22 starting comedy. I don't think I smoked weed really until was 23. shit.
00:32:49
Speaker
Yeah, my life is stupid. And then that after that, I ended up taking, there these there used to be a comic named Frankie Bastille. And here's a messed up thing about Frankie. Both Rich Voss and what's the other guy, David Spade, have the exact same story that I have about this guy. Oh, yeah.
00:33:06
Speaker
I was like, holy shit. talking to Richard. you knew. Yeah, he was. The dude was coming to town. He was a, I don't want to besmirch the guy, but he was a heroin addict. He was an addict. I won't say heroin. He was an addict. And he'd come into town and he'd be like, just gone out of his head, right? You'd be like, this is him right before stage. Whoa.
00:33:25
Speaker
And then he caught his name on stage and he'd do the most fire 45 minutes ever you could imagine. And then he'd come off and be path passed out again. And what he'd do is get the young comics to go take him to his quote-unquote cousin's house. na and boat and hu so the first yes So he asked me to take him to his quote-unquote cousin's house at this part of Memphis. I'm like, there are no white people in this area. You do not have family here, sir. What are you lying to me about? And I take him to this place. He ends up starting yelling somebody. Goes to somebody's house. That's how crazy was. He went to a somebody else's house at like 1 o'clock in the morning in Memphis yelling at folks and knowing no other white people around for like four miles. I'm like, you're going get killed. And I'm going to have to tell everybody about it. But he goes in, and comes back out, started yelling bullshit. I'm driving him back to the comedy condo here in Memphis. And then he pulls out a crack pipe and a crack pipe and started smoking crack in my car. I'm like, this is my mama's car. Don't be smoking crack in my mama's car. What are you doing?
Wild Stories from the Comedy Road
00:34:21
Speaker
but He's like, oh, I'm sorry. Did you want something? like, no, I don't want no crack. Get away from me.
00:34:28
Speaker
I got to take this car home now. My mama got to teach school in four hours. I got to spray it out the car for a crack smell. What the hell?
00:34:36
Speaker
Hey, at least he had manners and he offered, do you know? After I bitched. What a... Always gets you killed going to his cousin's house. Yeah, dude. I mean, I was locking my doors. I'm like, oh, hell no. Get me the...
00:34:53
Speaker

00:35:11
Speaker
i love the... Stories from the road, because those those are just classic. And those are like, they're almost, anybody else tells the story, you're going to go, yeah, no, that didn't happen.
00:35:25
Speaker
You know, yeah i mean you're going to know, like, you guys get yourselves into some of the most jacked up, crazy situations. Here's the thing right now. like I've been in the business long enough to let you know like my stories aren't even interesting. It's the guys who came way before us.
00:35:42
Speaker
I was at the regatta at Atlanta City one night, and these other comics were there. I guess I will name names because of them is still alive. But do you remember a comic named Angel Salazar?
00:35:54
Speaker
Oh, yeah. ah check it out, check it out, dude. Yeah. Yeah, he yeah he was an awesome human being. Awesome human being. But I'm sitting there with him, another comic named Max DiCellio, another guy named Mark Lund, a bunch of comics. We're just sitting there and they're just telling me stories. He was like, hey man, they're talking about days in the comedy store when all the cocaine was available. And he was like, yeah, you remember that night we were doing coke with Richard and he stopped doing cocaine to go watch ah Jim Carrey? And I was like, what the fuck words did you just say to me? You were doing cocaine with Pryor, and he stopped doing cocaine to go watch Jim Carrey. What in the hell? Mo, tell us story. No, I have nothing compared to that. Nothing at all.
00:36:35
Speaker
I will shut up and know my place tonight. You continue on with your stories. because those Yeah. i got I don't have anything committed to it, but what i see now is most of the comics don't even have the up-and-coming comics don't have stories like that because they're too damn healthy. and' like I was drinking my vegan soda. i'm like, go kill yourself now. Get away from me. You will never bring joy to the public. Yeah.
00:36:59
Speaker
we We live in a different world, man. hey I know, and I don't understand how they're doing. Never mind, I'm not going to say that. Yes, we are living in a different world. I don't understand it. I don't understand the the Well, I guess I do kind of stand. They went from really fun drugs to Adderall and Ritalin because they're all fucking. OK, go ahead. so exactly Exactly. Someone someone asked a question about a dead room.
Energizing Unresponsive Audiences
00:37:27
Speaker
what do you mean a dead room? had Maybe ah maybe said, did you ever have just a dead room?
00:37:33
Speaker
All the time. That's Friday. that's Saturday night. Late show across the country. a Dead room. It's a Friday night. That's what that's what ah that's what ah Steve Martin said made him quit comedy. Late show Friday night. Yes, it's a dead room because those people have been drinking since they got off work. They missed the early show. So they've been drinking since five o'clock and they are drunk and don't care that they just want to get out and try to get laid that night. But they're at your comedy show. And they're mostly dead. Mostly.
00:37:57
Speaker
Mostly. And you're fucking shit up because, but like you said, they're just trying to get laid. Yeah, that's ah i'm just I'm just a buffer until someone gets to get put in them. That's all I am right there. And they don't care. And, I mean, yeah, i mean, you got to bring a dead room to life, though. It's possible. It is possible. You got to put the work in. It's not like an easy show. It's just like I can walk and like, hey, I'm killing.
00:38:17
Speaker
No, you got put some work in that show. It's possible, but sometimes sometimes it just doesn't. I mean, i have done shows where oh was the was but oh Hold on. hold on it was what's that What's that stupid state? Kansas. Dodge City, Kansas.
00:38:33
Speaker

Speaker
I scared a bunch of white people there. I mean, I'm not about regular play. I'm talking about 80, 90-year-old white people came out to a comedy show. I don't know why they did. I don't know why they felt the urge to come out to the large black man's comedy show, but they did.
00:38:51
Speaker
And we had nothing to talk about. They were just sitting there eating their steak dinners like, oh, this large Negro is still here. Let me, oh, hmm.
00:39:06
Speaker
Nothing in common. They could not relate. Nothing. Nothing. I was like, this is the weirdest show I've ever done. No. Yeah. It's bad. Yeah. That was a very bad bookie. I don't know who said, hey, 80-year-olds, come see Mo Alexander. yeah but You know, it was ah it was a they there was a nice night out for them, they thought. They thought. They thought quickly afterwards. that They were let's get this black person out of our state. Right. Oh, my gosh. Gets up and walks out. ah
00:39:41
Speaker
I really don't have that happen. or Oh, I did have. her OK, just a little about politics. ah it's Just a little. promise I won't do much. I won't do anything. but your but Thanksgiving Eve this past year, I did a casino gig in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and walked 20 something people had doing one bit.
00:40:01
Speaker
Oh, shit. and the club walk the club was like, me you walk 20 people. I'm not even mad because the bit was funny. I was like, yeah exactly. Thank you.
00:40:12
Speaker
Because there was this elderly gentleman in the crowd who had a MAGA hat on. He looked like he was like 85 again. And was just like, and this was right after the whole Epstein thing had just busted open a little bit more about, about Trump and everything. and I was just like, yeah, you really just, you know, still wearing that MAGA hat. Just like you're saying, yep. Yep. I'm not going to have to keep those kids another damn day.
00:40:32
Speaker
And he laughed his table. laughed Those other 20 people who had nothing to do with them got up and walked away. like, bye. Split tens. tens. At the end of the day, you still get paid. so Exactly. He was laughing his ass off, and they gave us a free pass. all that I won all the way around.
00:40:51
Speaker
Yeah. That's the thing. If they walk out, they walk out. You're you're still getting the same. and i'm not for I'm not for everybody. you want just me to say what you know what you expect a comic to say, yes they'll bring some dude with a puppet in in a couple weeks. If you want to come to my show, know it's going to be ridiculous going to horrible things. going make fun of people you should make fun of and not make fun of people you shouldn't make fun of. us so you know That sounds like a Saturday night around here on the network. Yeah. I had to come and hang out on a Saturday one night.
00:41:26
Speaker
Yeah, we we we are completely off the rails. Well, but I'm the instigator of most things, but yeah, it's a Saturday nights. That's what we do. We, I dropped the link and we let our, our lovely fan base join us and I just stir the pot and we say things we shouldn't. I'm surprised we haven't been canceled, canceled yet, but yeah,
00:41:49
Speaker
well i will I love that. with that that that That no rules mentality. like I'm going to say some shit. Be prepared. yeah It might not always be poignant. It might not be something you want to agree with, but you will laugh about it and regret it later on. Who cares? Have fun.
00:42:07
Speaker
yeah You're not going to tell your friends about It was fun. That's one of the favorite that's all my favorite things when people come to a show on a Friday night and then they bring friends on a Saturday night. Like, you got to see what you did last night. I'm like, oh I'm not to do that tonight because that that was last night. those That show's different than this one. I don't know what's going to happen now.
00:42:26
Speaker
Well, I mean, 30 years in the business, I'm sure you got more material than you know what to do with at that time. I have literally forgotten two albums worth of material in my day. I was supposed before I got sick 10 years ago, had to be in the hospital for
Lost Comedy Album and Forgotten Material

00:43:05
Speaker
Lost that whole album. Lost that whole album. was going to say, probably at this point, you've damn near forgotten more than you've written. well seriously Seriously, it's true. Is there that seriously? Because sometimes my partner will say something, and she was like, well, how have you done that bit? I'm like, I forgot I wrote that. Oh, okay, let's bring that back.
00:43:25

00:43:53
Speaker
you How did Click go out? Well, he did acid. He strangled himself with his own shirt. It's so true, man, because I had lifted up the shirt this way and then something that happened and forgot that I had taken off in front the shirt and then I went around of the back of my shirt to get the shirt and take it off that way and I was just like... You almost lynched yourself, man. I did, almost, almost. No, um,
00:44:20
Speaker
no um if you're at a If you're at a club or something, you know you you got if you're there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, is it three different shows, or is it a kind of a mixture of everything?
00:44:32
Speaker
It's a mixture of everything, because I don't plan. i honestly don't. I'm at the point now where I don't plan. I just i know there's couple things I need to hit every night. Other than that,
00:44:43
Speaker
the pat went two weeks and Two or three weeks ago, we were in Colorado Springs, and every show started different. Every single show started different. And the owner's like, what are you doing? i'm like, I have no idea.
00:44:56
Speaker
I'm tired. You paid for this. You knew what you were getting. He loves me. He's like, you're going to be back every year. like, okay, cool. He loves me. just like, what are you doing? I'm like, I don't know. having fun. I mean, we got out of the four shows, three of them were sold out. So I think that's okay. He's like, yeah, we're good. You can't beat that. The club's happy. The promoter's happy. You're happy. Hopefully the audience was happy. Everybody made money and everybody laughed.
00:45:24
Speaker
Exactly. They got to play with the possum. sorry li
00:45:30
Speaker
It's an actual possum, just so you guys know. you know it's It's not some yes not there's not some weird ah code name. It's just an actual possum, but he's asleep right now. so saw some It's not some weird king. Not that we king shame.

00:46:04
Speaker
If I'm yeah well thinking of it, I do a little bit of homework just enough to be dangerous on my guest, but i'm here I'm here to learn about you as well. I'm here to get to know you as well, just as much as the audience. I know enough people have asked me, who's on your show? ah Mo Alexander.

We're going to see where the conversation goes. you know Yeah, I mean, so sometimes people piss me off, and I was just breaking the Shakespeare for just to piss them off.
00:46:37
Speaker
It's like, what are you doing? It's a comedy club. What do you want? Shakespeare? And I just go into a soliloquy. It's like, to be or not to be, that is the question, whether to the noble in the mind, to some of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or by opposing, and I do the whole damn thing just to piss somebody off. I don't care.
00:46:51
Speaker
impressed that you remember that because I remember the first line. Dude, I had to memorize it in high school and it's never left really.
The Absurdity of Memory

Humor in Near-Death Experiences
00:48:31

I was we've been calling you constantly. And it kept it kept going to voicemail. What do you mean kept going? And she realized that both the phones had voicemailed to each other. So nobody could get touch with her. And I'm just like, you know what? I can't be a part of this family anymore.

It's what we do. That's what that's and that's that's one problem I have with new comics. I can't talk shit to them because they cry. They're too sensitive.
00:57:14
Speaker
and They are. and You got to get them a glass of warm milk and a coloring book and give them a blankie and and tuck them into their you know their little safe space after they get done doing the show. It's so weird. I know some very funny young comics who I love, and I'm not trying to berate on the show. They know I love them, and I know they all they can open for me anytime they want to. But then I meet these others, and I'm just like, oh, I'm not going to tell you his name because he's got a little bit of a name right now, a little bit, but not important. But we were in the Bahamas, we were in bahamas right?
00:57:45
Speaker
And there used to be a test to come back to the Bahamas if the owner liked you. We'd go out that first night, get drunk and Hell yeah. he'd He'd drive us back over the bridge at like sunrise. And if you made it and you didn't suck the rest of the week, you were allowed to come back. Oh, nice. just And I'm a vet by this time. I've been doing it like 10, 15 years at this time. And we're going to take this new boy out.

and And immediately the owner's like, check him off the book from next year. god There you go. But did you die? He almost did. He almost did die. I mean, the first time I the first time i made that trip, the first time I ever did that trip and I had to pass that night, we got to the bridge. We got to the bridge. I'm talking about, you got to understand, Richard, who owned his club, was just a Jaeger. Everyone knew him on the island. Everyone So we walk, he'd walk in with this thing called a big cup and they, he said it was like a 32 ounce mug. And we'd go to the first bar and they'd fill it with lime and Myers rum. And that was the start. plot Wait, that was the start. Except for we all did two Jager bombs. like, okay. And that's, what that's, and you can drink and drive to Bahamas. So he'd be like, all right, Mo hold this while we drive to the next place. And he walked drink that one. They fill it. That one, do more of Jager bombs, go to the next thing.
00:59:25
Speaker
The first night that happened to me, we made it back over the bridge, and i pulled I made him pull over, and I ended up puking over the side of the bridge. And he gets I got back in the car. He's like, well, you made the sunrise. guess you can't come back.
00:59:39
Speaker
I was going say, my in my early 20s, Jaeger bombs have ruined a lot of nights. I'm no longer a fan. yeah um I was never a fan. know I'm a tequila drinker. The only time I don't drink tequila is when I was spending two weeks in the Bahamas. It's like my little vacation.
00:59:57
Speaker
Yeah, I was always the whiskey drinker. it's That Jaeger, I can't get past that all. It's always been gross. but man oh yeah Oh, it's gross as hell, but you know. But you don't want to be when everybody's like, Jaeger bombs. so You don't want to be the one guy that's like, man, I don't really want to do a Jaeger bomb. yeah because that guy never went back to the Bahamas. He never went back yet. He's like, I don't know why they don't book me down. I thought we had to get set. No, no, we hated you. We hated everything about you. we you Yeah, you suck. Worst comic ever.

I, I was, I'm all, I'm my goal in this was, uh, love black comedians because you guys have like no fucking filter and I got so excited when we started talking because I just threw a random message out there on on comedy Facebook pages and I didn't think I would get anybody but just got flooded and I got so excited when I started talking because I was like oh yes is because this is going be no filter just nonsense yeah that's that's what i I'm about have no filter I don't you know I i'm just like to have fun, and if I can hurt someone's feelings who needs their feelings hurt at the same time, I'm good. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I'm not out to get people, but some people just need it. Some people, you if you get a straight joke, if you get taken down by a straight joke, that's not a problem. I'm okay with that.
01:04:40
Speaker
Some people, yeah, I agree with that 100%. Sometimes you just got to hurt a couple feelings every once a while. It's not in hateful way. It's just, you know, it just needs to be done. Okay, let me give you an example, because i've only I've only almost been fired for a gig like once or twice. But I almost had to apologize, which I was i won't do.
01:04:59
Speaker
I won't do. There's a chain called Catch Your Rising Star, and i used to work for those guys a lot. And there was I was in Reno. it when they used They used to have a place called the Silver Legacy Casino, and it was a big game hunter convention.
01:05:16
Speaker
Okay. so So you're in the lobby. You walk through the hotel in lobby and it's just big as dead stuffed animals.
Drunken Adventures and Stuffed Porcupines
01:05:23
Speaker
You got big horn ram, bears and all this shit. yeah and I've seen it. I'm just like, okay, we'll we'll deal with this later, whatever. And I go do my show and it's a fun show, but they get me drunk. they this is the There's a lot of drinking involved. They got me drunk.
01:05:39
Speaker
They got me drunk this night. And as I'm walking back to my hotel room, I see the dumbest thing possible. In this room of big game bears and antelope, all kinds of huge shit, right on the desk next to the elevator is a porcupine.
01:05:56
Speaker
oh someone has shot and stuffed a porcupine. And they didn't put it in a normal pose like a porcupine and be like, you know, with four legs just walking or doing that. This is what happened. I'm drunk, but I see this. And I make somebody else make sure I'm seeing this. Like, do you see this porcupine sitting there? Yes, I do. Okay. Because this had a porcupine with posed. Sorry. This is him. He's just sitting there like,
01:06:22
Speaker
just What the fuck? He's looking at me like, nigga, why would anybody shoot me? And I was like, I don't know. is a bitch. And I proceeded to have a 30-minute conversation with this corcupine on his hind legs looking at me like, nigga, why are they shooting me? I didn't do anything.
01:06:42
Speaker
And we just talked for a while. I could feel his pain. and understood We talked. And then the next night, I walked up and started talking about the the porcupine and the big game hunter thing. And every night, it fucking kills because more and more the game hunters are coming to the show. And they're laughing about the same porcupine that I am.
01:07:01
Speaker
And I'm there from Tuesday through Sunday. and of Whatever. Monday morning, I fly back to Memphis. Tuesday I get a call from the booker and he's crying. He's literally crying. He's like Moe I don't I don't know what you did but you might I'm like what what happened with this porcupine? was like oh And I told him the whole story jacobo and he's crying even harder. It was on his high legs. Yeah with his hands out like yeah yes and
01:07:32
Speaker
that we the Okay, so this is the problem.
Backlash from a Stuffed Porcupine Joke
01:07:35
Speaker
This is what happened. That's hilarious, and i'm I'm fighting for you. But apparently the guy who shot that porcupine is the owner of the whole kitchen-comboodle of the big game hunting convention. he was at their show Sunday night, and he was extraordinarily pissed. And now he's trying to make the hotel comp him for everything. Ha, ha, ha.
01:07:58
Speaker
And I'm like, what the fuck? like, look, you're not fired. You're not in trouble, but I might have to make have you right to apologize. I'm not apologizing for shit. You shouldn't. This is the funniest thing. ah It was on his high leg. He just carried it. It was his high leg with his hands out. Like, yes, that's what it was. Okay, I'll call you back.
01:08:16
Speaker
Never heard another word about it, so I guess he took up for me. No.
01:08:26
Speaker
But he called me crying and laughing at the same time. I'm like, yeah, this is this is real. Oh, that is I mean, just the the atmosphere itself.
01:08:45
Speaker
Yeah, you know, almost sounds like you were kind of out of place anyways, but to be able to kill every night, you know, Because the the the big game hunters kept coming back to the show and bringing more of them and more of them. And they all knew about that damn porcupine, all of them. And it was just hilarious.
01:09:05
Speaker
Because, you know, someone had to have an actual thought moment like, okay, put the bear over there, put that. But the porcupine, where can you put it's just sitting on a table by itself like, man. Man, just what the hell? How the hell are you shooting me? i'm I'm harmless. What are you doing?
01:09:21
Speaker
You got all these monsters in here and there's poor little old people. There was a gator on the wall. Someone had like you know just leathered over you know just flattened out and said, I'm like, what in the hell is... good Yeah, it was a weird week. was a weird week.
01:09:36
Speaker
I was going to say, hearing that now, where are some of the weirdest places that you've performed? Obviously, that sounds like it's up there.
01:09:49
Speaker
But see, that was just at a comedy. That was at a casino gig. That wasn't even weird to me. there just ah All the game hunting stuff was weird. I'm like, this is just a weird place to put this. But okay.
Nudist Resort Performances and Awkward Encounters

As a family news resort, I don't want to tell you where Colorado. not going to tell you where in Colorado, but there's a family news resort. but And the first time I did it, The pastor bought one of my bo some merch for me, which I was very weirded out because the pastor was a sound dude who wanted me to come to Naked Church the next day. I like, I'm getting the hell out of here. But ah the second yeah i think we're the first you the first time, the very first time we went, um so I was under the impression there'd be no children here. Okay? None. None.
01:10:54
Speaker
that's very That's what I would think. That's what they told me. No kids going to be at your show. There are kids on the property, but no kids are going to be at the show. All right. No problem. Everybody's walking around with Winnie the Pooh. Just a shirt, no pants, shirt, no pants, shirt, no pants. We get to the gig, right? We got to check in in this little cabin type thing.
01:11:19
Speaker
And this family of four just comes up to me and starts talking to me and my girl. Like, oh, we're so excited about the comedy show. And the mom is there and the dad is there. The little baby who's like right here. And then there's the girl of indeterminate age.
01:11:34
Speaker
which I had no idea if she was 13 or 18, but I'm just trying to avert my eyes just in case. You know i mean? I'm not trying to end up in any Epstein file accidentally on purpose. that so I'm trying to get to, I'm looking away from her because I don't know how she is, but she is literally all over my face. Like, I'm so excited to see your comedy show tonight. And I'm just like, please back away from me. I don't know what's going on. Okay. So the the parents and apparently that girl of indeterminate age, we're going come to the show. No problem.
01:12:01
Speaker
Okay. I didn't know they brought the damn baby and the baby was the one that pissed me off. Cause he was the only person that were fully dressed. And he was dressed like, uh, um, uh, what's his name? Uh, he's, he, he was dressed like Hunter S Thompson and it just pissed me off. He had on a little white fishing cap, some big ass sunglasses, the Hawaiian shirt, the white shorts. I'm like, this kid sees bats. And john yeah I'm just like so mad that there's a baby in here. But I'm doing the show and the girl of indeterminate age is laughing and jiggling. I'm like, I can't look at you. Will you please get away from me? How old are you? are you
01:12:38
Speaker
Do not make me sing R. Kelly songs in this bitch tonight. Please get away from me. You have to look like Stevie Wonder the whole time. I was like, yeah, this is wrong. How old are you? Get away from me.
01:12:51
Speaker
and um I'm trying not to be I mean of the places were excellent they were great to me they were excellent they were fun people and then they're just like oh we're about to leave and the girl of any determinate age and her parents like hey come get in the hot tub I'm like no no no I gotta leave got to get the fuck out of here because I am not going to jail tonight no nope nope nope nope nope nope this is a set up Flash forward so many years later, here emails come out, and there's a name that we know, oh Mo Alexander. Exactly. like, Mo Alexander?
01:13:25
Speaker
no. It is funny. It is funny that there are some comedians in the Epstein file because he was a comedy fan. He used to go to the improv down in Tampa. I mean, not Tampa, but Melbourne or whatever. Yeah, that was very funny. hold did a Fluffy was just talking about how he did all this shit, but he couldn't get tickets to his show, which made me laugh even.
01:13:47
Speaker
And that's why he's in Epstein. i He was trying get tickets to Fluffy's show and couldn't get tickets. That's why Fluffy's name's in there. like, all right, cool. oh yeah, great. Now I'm lumped in with all them.
01:13:59
Speaker
That's the part that they leave out. you know Again, you don't get part of the story. You just, oh, so-and-so's name is mentioned, but it doesn't mention that he was just trying to get tickets. Oh, Derek Jeter's in there. I've seen one them go to a Yankees game. mean Yeah, exactly. so They don't tell you that part.
01:14:16
Speaker
Yeah, no, Derek Jeter. Oh, Jesus. which Oh, man. It's fun. I like the show. This is awesome. I love this.
01:14:28
Speaker
How many people you have in the chat room or their chat room? how does this work here? I don't even know. but It usually depends. They kind of come and go. Oh, see it now. I just found it. I'm sorry. I just found it. people watch it that day Your third-ass person is doing japanese is practicing Japanese stuff.
01:14:48
Speaker
Yeah, he's doing he does some really cool drawings and stuff like that now. Doesn't necessarily go with, you know, where I'm going with my work. But I told him, I said, if you can do Japanese, you can do what I'm doing. So, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I mean, I'll i'll i'll tell some Japanese stuff. on me I don't care.
01:15:03
Speaker
okay I'd like a sake bowl. that's Just a sake bowl.
01:15:11
Speaker
Just put a bowl of rice in a cup of sake. That's all need. That's all I need. so Just because. Yeah, Johnny Boggs. Yeah, I love, ah you know, the chatter's box is always open. The crazy thing about it is I think sometimes people will come in and they'll hang out for a few minutes and and and they're like nervous to chat.
01:15:32
Speaker
You know, yeah sometimes we get our regulars that pop in and out, but then you get the new ones and ah and it's almost like they're nervous to chat. And it's like, if I didn't want you guys to chat, I wouldn't do these shows live. I would just pre-record them.
01:15:44
Speaker
Yeah. And them up. No, I think it's, I like it. You guys, i mean, I like your show. It's fun. You get, you're very relaxed and this is very silly. And and I like these people that come in and keep saying weird stuff. Yeah. Like I am a huge fan of, of talk radio, like never a big fan of like Bob and Tom or Howard Stern, but kind of the shows with that style of we're going to come in and we're going to talk about what's going on in the news. We're going to have fun. We're going to hang out. We're going to have guests and stuff like that.
01:16:16
Speaker
But one of those key factors in radio that I love is that people can call in. I'm not on the radio. I know I'll never be on the radio. Well, I would like to think that I can clean up my act enough to to do a radio show and not get the FCC in too much of a tizzy.
01:16:32
Speaker
but Oh, dude, I'm on an internet radio station called radio-memphis.com and ah we say horrible stuff all the time. There's no FCC. Actually, right now we're doing um well what what was the thing? ah ah Occupied Memphis Radio right now.
01:16:48
Speaker
Nice. that Yeah. I was on an internet radio group. We lasted three shows. I did my music show.
01:17:00
Speaker
i used to do a mental health show They did the mental health show. We had another show that we called what the fuck news. And it was just like news articles that made us laugh stupid people in the news, you know, that made us laugh.
01:17:13
Speaker
And then we got to Saturday night and the owner of the, uh, the internet, God love him. Great guy. yeah i got no i will charge he I got a message from him the next morning. ah Glick, it's not really what we were what we're going for. It doesn't really fit our style. I was like, we lasted three days. That's three days more than we were going to last. Exactly. I got you. I understand that. Trust me.
01:17:42
Speaker
I was like, how about you just do the other shows and don't do Saturday nights? He was like, yeah, but I get it. I'm not upset in any way, shape, or form. you know Because, i I said, I'm surprised that we haven't been canceled because nobody's off limits.
01:17:58
Speaker
Nothing or nobody's off limits. you know That's the way I was raised in comedy. There's no limits. There's no sacred cows. I am the offspring of Bill Hicks. I'm the offspring of Carlin Hicks, Richard Pryor. i am the offspring of all those.
01:18:14
Speaker
I know. a lot of people were i know i know we brought it back recently, but I know like a lot of you're not allowed to say the R word. Well, that's one of my favorite words because. Some people are retarded, and they need to be told. Yeah. Now, I get in trouble with that one still. People get in trouble. You can't say the word retarded. My child is mentally handicapped. Exactly. He's mentally handicapped. He's not retarded. This motherfucker over here is retarded. There's a huge difference. Yeah, exactly. Your child has a mental problem that they're taking care this motherfucker over here is retarded. Yeah. He's not doing anything. There's nothing there. There's no help for him. He will be retarded until the day he dies and still go to retarded heaven. Do you understand?
01:18:58
Speaker
just as As Ron White once said, you can't pick stupid, unfortunately.
Experiences with Ron White's Family
01:19:04
Speaker
I thought that was Bill. That's Bill. cant I think it was Ron White. Was that Bill Inville?
01:19:12
Speaker
maybe was one guys It was one of those white guys. Yeah, well, Ron's cool. I love Ron. I love Ron. I've i've known Ron. I met Ron when i first started doing comedy. ah He tried to get me to drink scotch with him, and I was like, I will kill your family, sir. Do not give me this bullshit again.
01:19:29
Speaker
But then, I mean, i know all i know all i know his whole family. I know all his family. I love him to death. I fixed his mom's computer for her. But if you don't, i don't know. can Should we talk about her at all? she Does she want to be, you know, the sister, Shay?
01:19:46
Speaker
She wrote that book and all. Yeah, okay. You know Ron had a sister. A couple sisters. But Shay White is one of the best human beings on this whole planet.
01:19:57
Speaker
Love her to death. i will fight so I will fight somebody for that young woman. Love her to death. She's just a little flaming red-headed Southern Belle-esque type girl. tattooed Heavily tattooed. and i I love her to death. and She drinks Shiner Bock. When I see her, she occasionally runs from me because I make her drink tequila.
01:20:17
Speaker
That's the reason to run. Yeah. he yes ah We had to have her carry out one night in Amarillo Hall.
01:20:27
Speaker
That was such a fucked up night. Andy Dick's dad kept trying to get us drunk. ah He was trying to call Andy. He's like, Andy, I'm with Mo. Andy wouldn't pick Anyway, but here's the thing with Shea. Here's the thing with Shea White. Love her to death. I would do anything she asked me to.
01:20:46
Speaker
except not make her drink tequila, and she runs away from me. But here's the pro here's the problem with Shay. She's tall southern, but just bellish and wonderful until you get her drunk, and then she sounds just like Ron when she gets drunk. Oh, no. I was like, look, baby, I love you to death, but me, you could i mean, it's not going to, it was never even an option, but we can never fuck, because the last thing I need you to ever say to me is, go ahead, Mo, eat my pussy, eat my pussy, Mo, go ahead.
01:21:21
Speaker
Oh, God, that's a mental image. It is. It's a horrible image, too, because you see her, and then you just hear Ron's voice come out of her ah! Ah!
01:21:33
Speaker
She's gorgeous. She's gorgeous. She's wonderful. um it's such a hot I'm just like, when she gets that past drop on, you're like, bo i mean um like oh,
01:21:45
Speaker
I'm a big fan of Ron White. I i like his comedy. Yeah, Ron's a good dude ron's a great dude. Ron's a great dude. I have no bad words to say about Ron. that's that's I could not imagine a female version of him.
01:22:00
Speaker
you Yeah, she writes she doest she she's part of his writing staff, too. so she yeah you yeah you Yeah, you... That is that is awesome.
01:22:12
Speaker
I just love the part of that story. Andy Dick's dad was getting he was trying to get you guys drunk. It was so fucking weird. We're in Amarillo. What's the name the bar that's no longer there?
01:22:24
Speaker
no dogs The No Dogs Allowed Salute. It was... And the dogs really, it was called the No Dogs Allowed to Balloon, but dogs really were allowed. And Andy Dick's dad and stepmom are there.
01:22:36
Speaker
And I'm just like, what? He's like, yeah, I'm Andy Dick's dad. He just pulled out his license and showed me a picture him and Andy Dick. I'm like, what is what is going on there? It's just even real life.
01:22:50
Speaker
Yeah, because that same night, Ron White's mom and his two sisters, Shane and other sister, were at the same place. They had to leave, but then Andy Dick's dad started buying me shots. and I'm like, what in the fuck is happening here? This is weird.
01:23:01
Speaker
What is going on? That is awesome. He says, why Amarillo? Why are you people here? What's going on? Did you see the sign for the 72-ounce steak? It stopped. Why are you here, Andy Dick's dad? What is going on? on
01:23:18
Speaker
It's just ah just a weird conversation starter. So as an Amarillo, Andy Dick's dad who was trying to get me drunk. Yeah, it's a weird thing to say. even it's it's even It's a weird thing that even not can potentially come out of your mouth. because I still don't understand that day. It was one of the weirdest. I just don't understand. but it happened. It was very weird.
01:23:43
Speaker
I don't know where this story is going, but I'm here for it. I'm already locked in. Well, that was that was the night they had to carry Shea out of the building. but this see i'm I mean, seriously, at some point, I'm like 20 shots deep, and I'm like, I can't do many more of these. And and I'm handing shots off to Shandra, I'm handing shots off to Shay, and she's finally at the point where she was drinking them voluntarily, so you know it's bad. Yeah. oh say and It was just weird. it was just the way I learned my lesson with tequila at a very young age, and I had to try it twice just to make sure.
01:24:19
Speaker
i was 16 when I did that dance for the very first time. And outside of the random margarita here and there, I haven't been able to go back down the tequila road ever since. when When I came up when my first started coming within the first year, I had met like Ron White and Chris Rock and all these other fun people. And Ron's over here trying to get me to teach me how to drink scotch with him. And he has like some 13 year old, eight probably 13 at that time before he made real money. This is before he made real money. Okay. yeah
01:24:50
Speaker
they We still had his bright red polyester suit and cowboy hat. And, um, He's trying to get me to drink this with and I take a shot. and I'm like, I will fight your family, sir. Get this away from me. What is this? All these big comics who drank was like, all right, let me see. What are you drinking? I have no idea what I'm drinking. I'm 22 years old. I have no idea. I don't have much signature drink yet.
01:25:10
Speaker
And found this comic comes through named Todd Yon and has a bottle of 1800 and ah him and his partner come out and and take me out. We go to a friend of ours pool. And we're at a pool at 3 o'clock in the morning drinking shots of 1,800 tequila. And I'm not being sick at all. I'm like, I like this. This is my threats awesome. This is awesome. No salt, no lime, no cold. This is wonderful. I just kick it back. And I feel like this. Yes, I will drink this. it And that's how became my shot now. That's my drink. I'm a tequila person.
01:25:41
Speaker
I don't remember much from that night other than waking up in a cornfield. You know, a day and a half later. Like, what the fuck just happened? ah what where are you Where are you at right now? What city are you?

01:32:37
Speaker
Ooh.
01:32:40
Speaker
Good question. Sounds like you shared the stage with me. For different reasons. ah Harlan Williams. don't know. um John Witherspoon.
01:32:57
Speaker
Kenan, of course, because I used to terrorize him nightly. Nightly I terrorize him. I just say shit to him to just see if I can make him laugh. Just to make him yeah because like For instance, the time with Kenan, one of the shows we were on was riverboat casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. Yeah, it was a riverboat casino and it was called The Grand. It was these huge casinos in the and early two thousand And it' it's a riverboat, but it's kind of landlocked, but you still can feel the barge move every now and again. away
01:33:28
Speaker
And it was a thunderstorm this night. The building, the the show was still sold out. We had like 2,500 people at this show, right? And as I'm passing by Kenan's dressing room, I was just stuck my head in. was like, hey, man, i hope this boat don't break free tonight. We already had one free boat ride. We don't need another one. And he just throws something at me like, get the fuck out of my room. It just laughs at me.
01:33:53
Speaker
then but as But I walk up on stage and that's the first words out of my mouth. And Cheney's on the side of the stage like, what in the fuck is wrong with you? He's like, I can't believe you just said that. did say that to a bunch of white people in Mississippi. I did say that. And he's just like, what is wrong? I just see him on the side of the stage like, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah, sorry.
01:34:19
Speaker
Of all places. Of all places. Well, I do. hard I mean, I have horrible material. I mean, you're 44. You might remember the time that a Saturday Night Live had Jesse Jackson read Green Eggs and Ham on TV. don't know if you saw that. That's a real thing. That's a real thing that happened. yeah i you I used to have a bit about it a long time ago in the 90s about how he wasn't their first choice.
01:34:44
Speaker
Originally, wanted the black Muslim leader, Louis Farrakhan, to read it, but he was a busy that week. But he did send in his own version. And I'd like to read it to y'all. And okay, so i this is this is this is one of these bad bits, okay? This is one that gets me in trouble. I don't care.
01:35:01
Speaker
Okay, so we're in it we're in Atlantic City, of New Jersey this night. We're in Atlantic City, in New Jersey, and this place called the, ah ah who I care, delarage the Claridge, the Claridge Casino, and it's free night. It's free night. So what this night is, is the casino has given all the high rollers passes and comp tickets to this show because it's Kenan Navry Wayans. Yeah.
01:35:23
Speaker
From, I'm going to get you suckers living color. And I'm up here doing my stuff, and I'm i'm dark. I'm real dark. And I'm going to talk about how Louis Farrakhan wrote his own version, but ah he was not allowed to. say But I do have that version. I'd like to read it to you right now. know exactly what I've told you, Click. I'm in Atlantic City, New Jersey on high roller.
01:35:45
Speaker
i'm about to I'm about to recite Louis Farrakhan's reading of Green Eggs and Ham. It starts at, Sam, I am, Sam, I am. I will not eat Green Eggs and Ham.
01:35:56
Speaker
I will not eat them in a shoe. i will not eat them with a Jew. i will not eat them on a plane so the court can make a brother insane. I will not eat them. Now, the only people who are laughing are me, the sound guy, and Kenan.
01:36:14
Speaker
there's The only three black people the building, everyone else is quiet and his air has been sucked out of the room. and i want to eat them in the tree because that's where you crazy-ass white people was trying to hang me and you hear this huge, ah, from the sound guy.
01:36:30
Speaker
I want to eat them semi-al, but I want eat them, you blue-eyed white devil bastard. And
01:36:39
Speaker
And it's perfect because I know what I've just done, but I didn't realize it was that many people out there who didn't know Kenan Ivory Wayans or Moa whatever. I'm i'm like like, I'm not freaked out because no one's laughing. The sound guy is dying. but here is done you did you ok you Did you ever watch live In Living Color? Did you ever watch that show? You ever remember when Keenan used to impersonate Arsenio Hall and put the big booty on and he just dance around? He was doing that on the side of the laughing. He's like, just laughing his ass off. Yeah.
01:37:16
Speaker
just laughing his assho no yeah That is awesome. I was going to say, there's that dead room we were talking about earlier. oh yeah yeah yeah Oh, yeah. It was the only it was the only night that was dead. The other two other three shows were great, but that one, ooh.
01:37:37
Speaker
They didn't warn me it was free high roller night. I was like, oh, these people expect. And I walked down there and 90-year-old white people in front coats. I'm like, oh this is not good. This is... Fuck it, I'm here, let's go. like This is going to be a story for later. I'm sure it is. but but but That is awesome.
01:37:59
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, man. i It's just... The idea of being on the road with Keenan and, you know, you know you don't hear bad stories about any of the Waynes, for one, but they're all fucking hilarious.
01:38:15
Speaker
Like, you know, I could, I mean, I've never, I've never had the opportunity to see any of their standup, although, you know, ah yeah But ah if you ever get to see, it if you ever get to see it a way in, make sure it's Damon.
01:38:30
Speaker
I would love to see Damon. Damon is the best comedian of them all. Kenan's the best writer. And then the other two do what they do. Whatever it is that they do.
01:38:43
Speaker
No. ah But, I mean, they're all hilarious. and Yeah, no. I ain't got nothing but love for the Williams. ain't got nothing but love for the Williams. I mean, i i grew up I grew up watching them, you know, in Living Color. I'm going to get you, sucker. you know Even you know the more serious roles.

Advice for Aspiring Comedians: Pursue Passion
01:52:17
Speaker
cool.
01:52:17
Speaker
And I think it's awesome. Two things. Yeah. Or you can combine them into one thing. Any advice for anybody thinking about getting into comedy or life advice in general?
01:52:30
Speaker
Comedy advice first. Don't do it unless you love it. Don't do it unless it calls your name. Don't be like a vampire needing the blood. If you just want to do it because you're like, oh, this will be fun for a while, don't. You're just taking your space with the people who need to do this. at ah But always have fun and be funny. I mean, you can be as long as you as long as you're funny, you can get away with a lot of things. But if you if you don't if you don't love this, if you don't think that your soul is going to be crushed unless you do this, don't do this. Don't do this. it's It's not for everybody. You have to be a very certain kind of strange human being to do this. I mean, I live in i live in hotels pretty much, ah constantly on the road, dealing with bullshit. Hotel get me hotel people and hotel... that Yeah, it's... If it wasn't for the part of If it wasn't for me writing new stuff and getting on stage every night, it wouldn't be worth it, but it is. So that's why I still do.
01:53:27
Speaker
life but Life advice? Have fun and piss people off. Ain't that the damn truth. That's what I did. Right. I love of it. and You know, this is this is the cool thing about it because I'm not by no means and I have no desire to be a comedian, but i love to get to hang out with you guys because I am a comedy fan. I always have been. i okay hey Hey, I need to ask you a question.
01:53:57
Speaker
Who's your favorite comic?
01:54:01
Speaker
Man, there's so many of them. No, but who's the one? Who's the one? You can have a lot of people you love, but who's the one? The one.
01:54:15
Speaker
He's ah not an old, old comic, but ah always, and I know he's gotten a lot of hate through the years, or people don't like him for this. I know i love Dane Cook.
01:54:27
Speaker
Okay. I love his energy. I feel like I'm a lot... yeah I'm very animated, and especially when telling stories. And i so I like that about him.
01:54:38
Speaker
yeah He's all over the stage. if he's He's one of those comics that if he's got a new special out, I'm watching it. I follow the guy on TikTok, for the love of God. I follow him on TikTok, and I've got to interact with him.
01:54:55
Speaker
It's so weird that I like got to chat with Dane. I get it. I get that. I get that. That's cool. Yeah. i mean There's a lot of comics that, you know, when I was younger growing up, I loved like prior and um Cosby, you know, I don't know if that's okay to say or not, but Cosby was great and and and whatnot.
01:55:15
Speaker
um But yeah, you always find new ones every day. I mean, there's, there's new ones, but yeah, I think Dane Cook's that one guy for me. Like, Christopher Titus is another one that I really love.
01:55:27
Speaker
Titus is my friend. I love Titus. Great guy. got to meet last year or the year before. and seen him for my birthday.
01:55:38
Speaker
and i like to sit up front at comedy shows. We've got a great comedy club, The Funny Bone in Columbus. I like to sit up front. Not because I want to interact with the kind comedian. Not that I want to be a part of the show or anything like that. I just like to sit up front.
01:55:52
Speaker
Yeah. And, you know, and I wound up, I did have an interaction. His his girlfriend opened up for him and she was freaking hilarious. um And I had a little bit of an interaction with her just because she was making fun of from people from Ohio.
01:56:08
Speaker
And I didn't even think I was vocal about it. i was just like, hell yeah. So but it was from then on, every time she would say something, she'd hell I came out and he was doing, you know, he does his spiel about life and divorce and everything. And, know, I'm only a few years out for mine. And I remember the beginning stages was hell.
01:56:31
Speaker
And I was just kind of shaking my head in the greens while I was laughing. And we had a little interaction. and then afterwards during the, meet and greet. I'm like, I'm going to go pay. And as I was coming around, I was in line. he had seen me and he was like, oh, can you go back and I want to talk to you afterward afterwards. And wound up talking to him for about 10 minutes. got up pick like We took pictures and all kinds stuff. Great dude. And I've been watching him since I was a kid.
01:56:54
Speaker
And it was just a great experience. Such a great guy. And very relatable. I mean, we may not agree on politics or anything like that, but I don't give a rat's ass. I separate that from the art. But just to be able to have that interaction with him was really cool, especially somebody that I've been watching and listening to since I was a kid.
01:57:11
Speaker
Yeah, Chris is a great dude. i'm the first i'm I'm the guy who gave his first copy the Black album because he's a bigger Prince fan than I am, and that's hard to be. <unk> Damn. Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, Damon Lee.
01:57:25
Speaker
got credit and Chris and Stephen Wayne. Dude, one of the funniest nights I got to, I know we got to go, but one of the best nights of my life was when I first started, probably two years in, and everybody was in the city that night for some reason doing shows. Like, was Steve, were in the green room, get in the in the office of the owner of the Comedy Zone in Memphis, underneath the club,
01:57:50
Speaker
In one night, it was Steve Harvey, Steve Harvey's bodyguard, Boomerang, Chris tight like ah chris Rock, Jamie Foxx. The owner, myself, and a guy named Dennis Phillippe, who was like the host in Memphis, who taught me a lot of what i I do now currently.
01:58:08
Speaker
Just hanging out, shooting the shit, because they were all doing different shows, and I just came over to see Steve at the end. And you have never lived until you see heard a Yo Mama contest at the bottom of the comedy zone between these people. Oh, my God. Two o'clock in the morning, just talking shit about each other, just going all and and Steve Harvey's but bodyguard named but was named Boomerang. He was like 7'2 and like seven foot two and and wearing a peach suit talking shit to people. Come on.
01:58:40
Speaker
Come on that You can't even fire back at that point. Well, Boomerang started trying to talk shit to Dennis Pillsby, this little white guy. Steve's like, you don't want none of him. you don't want You don't want to do that, Boomerang. Boom, you don't want to do that. Like, I just get him. And was like, you don't know Dennis. You don't know. he Leave him alone. When Steve tells you leave somebody alone, you better listen. Because he might look like a pasty little white dude, but he will eat your ass on stage and off to talking shit for days. He did not give a damn.
01:59:09
Speaker
ah That's awesome. Steve Harvey's another great one. That awesome. That's a hell of a lineup. I want to hate Jamie Foxx so much. Guy's so talented. He can do everything.
