How y'all doing tonight, white people in Puerto Rico? Hell yeah. I ain't a political person, but I don't like the way they treating women in the media, you know, like saying women can't be the president and shit. I was raised by a strong black woman. I believe women can do anything a man can do, you know? Clap, bitches. I'm talking about y'all. Have a little fucking...
Have a little faith in yourself. We let you bitches read and write, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? And the sad part about it is, I don't think we ever gonna see a female president unless that bitch is trans. Them good old boys ain't letting no fully loaded bitch in the office. They gotta have a dog in the fight. Like, hey, you a woman, but bitch, don't forget where you come from.
That's how they did us with Obama. I get it. They had to have a dog in the fight. You know what I mean? We wanted Jesse Jackson. They was like, be fucking for real. You better get this orange nigga and get the fuck out of here before we change our mind. But if you think about it, this is a lot of strong trans women, you know? You got Caitlyn Jenner, Wendy Williams. You know that bitch got a dick.
And I know that bitch's dick bigger than mine. You know what I mean? You be fucking that bitch around the back of the shit, slapping your kneecap like, God damn. Throw it over your shoulder, you big donkey dick bitch. Hell yeah, that's my time. Thank y'all very much.
Oh, okay. Hey, I was, I usually, well, you know, shit, I fucked up, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I appreciate it, man. You know what I'm saying? I'm just speaking fags, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Hell yeah, I walk around that bitch butt-ass naked. You run around naked? Let them nuts hang out, you hear me? And you have a couch and a TV and a... Yeah, I live pretty good right now, you know? I'm making a little couple dollars, you know what I mean? Yeah? My life is actually pretty fucking amazing, you know what I'm saying? You have a sound system? Um... Oh, you my... Hey, hey, hey.
I swear that bitch immune to black people. I ain't hear that bitch ever. You didn't hear it at all. I still don't hear it. I go home and be like, what the fuck is Red Bear talking about? I don't hear shit in here. Some goddamn bird loose in here. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Uh-huh. It's like that with smoke alarms. Okay. Black people don't hear. I never heard it. I still don't hear it. It's the pitch.
Hey, man, stop talking about Trump, man. You know what I'm saying? We live in Texas, buddy. Relax. You know what I mean? I like Trump. Oddly political. I didn't say anything bad. That bitch like that dog whistle, you know what I'm saying? Black people can't hear it. I ain't hear it at first until I listen hard enough, and I was like, oh, shit, that's a smoke. Smoke is happening.
The blackest? Probably my dick. That bitch pretty black now. That bitch, sometimes I gotta put lotion on that motherfucker. That bitch like a gray color some days, you feel me?
Oh, this is more like an orange color. Oh, the inside of your hand?
I believe that Sublime is the greatest band of all time. I'm ready to die on that mountain, you know what I'm saying? You feel me, white man? Hell yeah, he likes Sublime, hell yeah. Wow. Hell yeah, Sublime was a good time, man. That surprises me. Not the one with Rome, that's bullshit, you know what I'm saying? Not the new Sublime. Yeah, fuck that bullshit.
I mean, Rome can sing, but he wasn't on heroin at the same time, so it ain't the same effect. It's got to have the hero. Yeah, I like my rock and roll stars to do drugs, you know what I'm saying? Like the hard drugs, the real ones, you know? Yeah, no doubt about it.
Uh, shit. I just, you know, do it, you know. Oh, I got a video that hit a million views. That fucking, uh, that fucking, uh, mechanic video. That bitch going pretty good. I got a lot of dumbass videos I've been making. I got one coming out this Wednesday. Every Wednesday, man. Every Wednesday. How do people see those? Oh, I can say that? Oh, Mr. D. Jolly, bitch, on Instagram.
MRD Jolly on Instagram. Same thing on TikTok and everything else. Even black people meet. You know what I'm saying? Hell yeah. All right. Appreciate that, Tony.
Hell yeah. It's been 21 months since I had a drink. That's pretty fucking cool, right? Hell yeah, hell yeah. I had to do it cold turkey, because I tried to do it with AA meetings at first, but every time I went to an AA meeting, I needed a fucking drink. Them people's lives be miserable as hell, you know what I mean? Like, goddamn, do it already, bitch. Nobody gonna miss your ass.
It got to the point where I started going to the meetings and I just spiked the coffee, you know what I mean? Get you back to your regular self, you know? Then it got so bad, I start coming to the meetings drunk as hell, you know? I start coming to the meetings drunk, and they'll kick me out of the meetings. And I'm like, fuck, you can't kick me out of this AA meeting, man.
I'm crying, it's a fucking cry for help right now, you know? You can't kick me out of this AA meeting. This isn't an AA meeting, it's a PTA meeting.
Yeah, well, it's like July 12th or something. I just had to figure a number out, and I can't count that well sometimes under pressure. So it's like 21, 22, some shit like that. It was Juneteenth. It's been a... Boom. I was drunk as fuck on Juneteenth. Yeah, yeah.
You know, I mean, every day I wake up and be happy, man, because I'm alive, man. You know, like, I got a good fucking life. You know what I'm saying?
You feel me? Like, I'm doing real well.
Well, no. See, what I do now is... A lot of people don't know about this, but... Sometimes at night, me and Joe Rogan go dress up like Batman and beat the shit out of homeless people.
Just like a hard dick. Ain't that right, Tony?
Shit, man, I was in Portland this weekend. That was pretty fucking cool. Portland? Portland, Portland, Portland. Oh, there you go. Y'all understand what I'm saying? That's a grocery store in his neighborhood. Yeah, no, man. Portland, Oregon, that place is pretty cool, you know? What's cool about it? Shit, I was smoking weed, walking down the road and shit.
You're right. You're right. No, they seen Cam first. That's who shows it was. You know what I'm saying? I was number two, but it was cool. I seen a crackhead smoking like a crack pipe right in front of the courthouse. It was crazy.
I don't want to... It wasn't a whole lot of homeless people, though. It wasn't that many where I was at. Like, right there by the club. Fentanyl might have cleared their mouths.
It's terrible. Yeah, it wasn't that bad where I was at. I didn't really do no research, you know. I didn't really, like, drive around looking for crackheads or nothing, you know.
Hey, the show, she was there on Saturday. As soon as I got on the stage, I was like, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga. She was just doing all kinds of shit with her hands. Wow. She just stopped at a point.
How y'all doing tonight, white people in Puerto Rico? Hell yeah. Y'all down with the president? Yeah, Trump the realest nigga to ever do it. On the last day of his presidency last time, he freed Kodak Black and Lil Wayne. Then he sent the goons into the Capitol building. They were hanging on chandeliers, ripping shit off the wall. I was like, damn, I'm glad these ain't black people.
My credit score went up 12 points that day. Only thing I ain't like about when Trump was the president, I kept on getting these letters in the mail for free trips on Carnival Cruise Line, all-you-can-eat chicken and shit. I was like, you ain't gonna get me like that, 45. I seen roots. This how we got over here the first time. I know what was gonna happen.
I was gonna pull up to that Carnival Cruise Line. It was gonna be me and 45 Dominicans from San Antonio. You know they love a goddamn deal. It was going to be a long-bearded white man named Boss. He was going to be like, all right, guys, everybody, pick of the shiki, have a seat. We're going back to Wakanda. All right, thank you. Y'all have been a whole bunch of fun, man.
Nobody fucking knows, man. I usually have a translator with me. Sorry. That bitch took the night off, you know what I mean? That dirty bitch. Slangin' bitch. Yeah, dirty, stankin' whore. Stankin' bitch. We call them stankin' scalawag dirty foot bitches.
Yeah, like white women from Kentucky, you know what I mean? Same shit. They got dirty feet, you know what I'm saying? They do. Their feet always dirty. They say it in the Bible, you know what I mean? They do. They do. He not wrong. You ain't know that? You didn't read that part. What part of the Bible is that exactly? Dirty, footy-ish, white woman-ish. You didn't say you hear that verse?
Yeah, yeah. You read a Bible? Oh, you don't read a Bible. You're a liberal, my bad.
Who, me? What? What the fuck does that mean? I don't know what none of that shit means. I just like to say it. Do you know what a liberal is? No, not at all. Not at all. I like to say it.
Oh, that's it. That's how you call a person a gay man?
We love the blacks. We love the blacks so much. I love Donald Trump. See, they don't understand Donald Trump was down with the Negroes in the 80s. You know what I'm saying? Real shit. They don't know that. See, everybody want to throw Donald Trump underneath the bus. Donald Trump smoke weed out of blunts. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? He been down with the Negroes.
You know what I'm saying? Hell yeah.
Shit, man, I've been on the road, like, the last three months. With Cam, I have my thing going. I be with you. Killers will kill Tony. We just out here grinding, baby, you know?
I mean, that's a... Shit, I've been fucking these hoes.
I keep, like, $40 for a bitch, you know what I'm saying? It ain't really tricking. It's just, that's, like, light bill money or something. You know, I fuck old bitches now. Old bitches will let you tear their ass up for $40, you know what I mean? You still pay them. Well, I mean, it's not paying. It's just like, here you go. It's not paying. It's like a donation. It's not required.
It's like saying thank you for being a wonderful woman. It's like a tip. Like a tip. Like a gratuity. It's a gratuity.
That bitch was thick, though. I believe that.
Old people, I understand what they be saying, because my grandmama was old, and I used to have to watch her when I was like 11. So I paid close attention to what she was saying, and it's a different dialect.
Hey, man, I didn't mean nothing by it. My bad. I'm sorry. What'd that even mean? I thought we were friends. You from New York. All New Yorkers are liberals, right?
Oh, you're right. You're right. What the fuck is a liberal? I'm not calling you a homosexual. I'm just saying. I like your dick right now. I'll prove it.
Hey, no sucking dick up here, man. Yeah, man, come on, man.
No. It's a free button. But you got to say it with joy, though. It's got to be joy.
If they give me like $500, if I got $500, you can kick me in the nuts, nigga. For $500, nigga? Hell yeah.
What's going on right now? Hey, that's a beer. That's an Italian beer. It's not a fucking beer. That's close. I thought that was a pastry. No, it's an Italian beer, and Negroni's an Italian beer. I thought it was like some bread or some shit. It's not bread?
It's bread, right? Negroni? No, that's a... A cannoli, a cannoli.
Hey, mamma mia, mamma mia.
Welcome to... I used to fuck an Italian bitch. Tight shit? Hell yeah. Okay. She used to make them shits. That's how I know what it is. We here for the bullshit. Hell yeah.
A pregnant bitch. No, prego means traditional, like, mama mia. Like, it's... It mean like happy times. It mean happy. It mean like happy. Like the sauce? The sauce. Yeah, I know it's the sauce, but it mean like happy times. Like mama mia. Like family. It's family.
That's what I'm saying. Like mama mia. You know what I was saying? Mama mia. That's what they say. Mama mia. Okay.
No, no! No, no, Tyler. You got $500. You got $500,000? Shit, you can say whatever you want. You can kick me in the ass, too. I swear you can. For $500. Come on, man. We got to do better than this, man. Nigga, I need them $500.
All right, no, no, you can't say the fucking N-words.
You must be making water balloons.
I don't know what you're talking about right now, Red Band. No, pancetta, like, sweet. It's kind of sweet a little bit. There you go.
Oh, that's a fucking moron. That's a mooly fuck.
Hey, you fucking mooly fucker.
Second of all, I work for this company, and your title is this for this company, right? So you work for them too, right? Like, people hated me, man. It was just everything had to happen how it had to happen because I know I can't work for nobody. I wake up and push you out until you don't talk to me no more. I might be like, oh, I ain't sure.
It wasn't ever hard because I got a buddy of mine named Carmen Rallon that gave me this book called The Comedy Bible. So I mean like premise, setup, punchline. I keep that in my mind, but a lot of the times I don't even write like that. That's just a basic formula to go off of. You know what I mean? Like a computer is like a, you know, like I need some type of formula.
Sometimes I can come with nothing. Like sometimes I might just say something funny and I just take it to the stage and I riff on it a little bit. And then I try to build a structure off of that. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I just write out a whole joke word for word and I cut out like 80% of it and that actually works, you know?
I mean, but everybody has their own style of writing and you know what I mean? Like the more and more, the blessing that I've had since being in Austin is,
getting to be around comics that have been successful on this level for so much time and just the genuine love for comedy and just good people that they are, you know, the good people that they are, they'll be like, hey man, you know, you ever talk about this? Or like, if you got any questions or, hey, let's go on the road like that. Like when Cam started doing comedy,
Cause you know, I'm his mentor. You know, I really don't tell people that cause I don't ever want to take away from his shine. But when he started doing it and the drive that he had, that brought back another level of hunger for me. Like I was like, okay, let's go. You know what I mean?
Cause it was just like, it was back because most of the people in Orlando, you know, they just, they're hobbyists. You know? They're competing with each other. I'm not competing with nobody, but yesterday, me. You know what I mean? Yes, sir. We all on the same team. I ain't competing with you. What am I competing with you for? You know what I mean?
Like, you in the main place, I mean, why would I compete with you when you could tell me nothing about the next level? That's it. You know what I mean? It all depends on, like, the seriousness. What do you see in something? Like, it's... I wouldn't go and start playing semi-pro football because I don't think I could do it. And I don't love football that much. You know what I'm saying?
He's just about focus, man, focus. Locking in, focus, focus, focus. Yep. That will take you so far in life.
I'm not mad at the things, like the way I was raised and the way our elders told us how we should go about the next level, even though I wish I knew a little bit about this here and stuff that I'm finding out about now as to why this guy never worked in his life, because he worked for himself. You know what I mean?
Well, Cam got pulled out of the bucket. He got pulled out of the bucket and then just everything just went crazy. So I went back to Orlando. And when I came back, because I was coming back to do spots at the mothership because I was like in a... Adam Eager was like, hey man, whenever you're in town, come and do spots. So I was flying back like once a month, sometimes twice a month.
The only reason why I was still in Orlando is because I had a lease. And my son hadn't graduated from high school yet. So, as soon as he graduated, I was gone, you know. So, like, what was the question again?
It was great, man. Like, everybody in there is just good people. Like, just when we came and then it, like, I just got an opportunity. That's what I'm going to say. I ain't going to get too much in there, you know. But it was great. The opportunity that was presented to myself, I just did what I had to do.
It's great, man. If there's any comics watching this, I tell you, come to Austin. Get away from your local scene because that same guy that's been doing that same thing for 25 years, he may want you to succeed. He may not want you to succeed. Some people just get to a point where they've been doing it so long, they're just angry.
I just, it ain't no plan B. You know what I mean? Like people say like, oh, I want to do this. Like I don't know the last time I did that regular, you know? Like if I'm dating somebody, she know, hey, I'm really dating comedy. You going to be here for a minute, but I mean, how long you going to really last? Because like every single day I go do comedy, you know?
And you got to get away from them people because they don't have no vision no more. They just ready to die. They just going by the pace of day by day or just day by day. If you know you can make it, get away from your hometown. And it's not knocking your hometown because the people in Orlando love me. I'm born and raised there. I lived in Tampa for a while, Tallahassee, but I'm a Florida boy.
The people in my city love me. But it's the people that's in your same profession that say that they love you, but then they really don't show it. I'm not mad at them. I never, it might sound crazy, but even when I first started, I was looking past Orlando. I never even felt like I was a local comic. I never felt like, I mean, I have no beef with nobody.
I'm cool with everybody, but I just didn't want to follow y'all rules. I was going to do it my way. Cause I- A unique one of one. Yeah. I had like a little traction going on, building followers, doing these stupid videos that were like, I know you fucking lying. And it'd be like a crazy motherfucker. Then it'd be me like talking about them. So those were going viral.
But then once like this Austin situation turned out and I, it just- It's getting crazy, but in a good way.
You mean with, I know you fucking lying. Well, a lot of you people make them now and I don't ever say nothing. I just, whatever. You know like how you used to be like some crazy stuff, then it'll cut away and then it'll be me like, I know you fucking lying. Look at this. You know? I just had to find something that would work because I know just the old school way of
Moving to New York and moving to LA and then you got to meet these people. I want to go around everybody. I don't want to have to, I'm going to do the work. The work is going to speak for itself, but I don't want how you feel about me to dictate my career.
Somebody don't like me and then they like, they try to push somebody back. Like I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen in comedy scenes where one person don't like this person and they'll just brush you off, you know? And it's like that person might not even bother nobody. They just don't like that they quiet.
That's crazy.
The first time I got on Kid Tony, that was... I think I only watched that one time. I couldn't watch it. It was too cringe for me. It was just... It was too much, you know? I mean, because that wasn't me. I mean, it was me at the time. And I'm a very fun, outgoing guy. Anybody know that I say whatever, I don't really care about your feelings, you know? Because you forced me to this point.
Like I got here early tonight because I just want to see the city of D.C. and I'm going to go find somewhere to get up at the night, you know? People want to do stuff, but then some people want to dedicate the rest of their lives to it. You know what I mean? You can't make it. You can't be halfway in and halfway out. Like, hey, man, I got a show. I got this big opportunity for you.
But that was just real. I was sloppy drunk that day. I was sloppy.
Yeah, I actually fell asleep next door. And they were like, where's Jolly? Where's Jolly? I'm at the bar. They woke me up. I'm running in the rain, like really stumbling in the rain, not really running. But, you know, then the rest was history. They say, you're on. And my brain just say, showtime. Showtime.
Oh, that's a good question. Flavors. My boy Jari knows got a company called Flavors. Yeah. I love him. Oh, you know about Flavors? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He cook it all, man. Good food. Real good food.
Hey, it's for you and the Charlotte Hornets. Fuck the Charlotte Hornets. I reckon better than y'all. Y'all are trash. You a Hornets fan?
I knew it. I knew it. You know, well, we better than the Lakers, too. Y'all cheers.
I mean, but LeBron, I'm a LeBron fan. I like the fact that he carry himself as a man. Everybody hate him, and he don't have any scandals. He don't have nothing. You don't even have a reason to not like the man, but that come with fame, so whatever.
You played ball too? In high school. Oh yeah. I played basketball. I played basketball, football, and baseball. And in all three sports, I wrote the bench. They said I paid me a scholarship for riding the bench. I say, nah, man, I ain't gonna take this one, man. It's all right. There it is. And then you got the Buccaneers. You know, I'm from Florida, so you got to go with the Bucs.
Not the Dolphins.
What are you going to say, the Cowboys?
And you're like, well, I got to go to the movies with my lady. Ain't no girlfriend no more. Ain't no one like that. Not if you want to do it for real. All of that is out the door. The only thing you're married to is comedy.
At one good year in the 80s, didn't they almost go to the Super Bowl?
You from South Carolina? Yes, sir. Oh, born and raised right there. Yes, sir. I think I might be. I'm waiting on Lee and Kira to hit me back, but I'll be at the Greenville Comedy Zone. Hopefully April 6th, I believe. Oh, I'll be there, and we'll sell it out. Like, I'll promote it. When we get off, send me your number. I don't have your number. I hit you up all the time. You a good dude, bro.
You feel me? Yes, sir. You got to have, like, strong black men who focus on the same thing, you know? Because it's a race issue, but it's always a race issue. And some of us can't change our minds to get away from stuff. like from what we just traditionally traditionally been given, you know? Yep.
Cam Patterson. David Jolly and Kim Miller. Love it. Love it. Oh, yeah. Love it. They're my first. They're my favorite three, yeah.
Yeah, he talked about me a lot on the podcast. I like it. I just don't never want to... like getting away at his shine, you know, killing it right now. That's what, that's what I'm up here with now. Like either I'm doing my headlining dates, killers of kill Tony dates, or I just come with cam on the road. Like I don't have a weekend off until like January 23rd.
And I'm probably going to try to fill that calendar. Like I don't like sitting down. I'd rather be on the road.
Yes. Send me your number because we're going to be at Labs Boston anyway. We can't. Okay. So if you want some tickets or just come kick it, yeah.
I like it. Boston cool, man.
Yeah, it's dope. Because I got to do Boston and I do Providence right the day before that.
Yeah, Providence, that's a real town.
Yeah, it's pretty. It's different over there. Yeah. Don't get the wrong idea about all that stuff up there. They get it down over there.
Instagram is Mr. D Jolly or go to Uncle Jolly dot com. And I got like everything going on in my life as far as like show dates and sitting near you. But Mr. D Jolly, follow that because I need some more followers, man.
Yeah, you know, and it's funny to where when people can laugh at themselves, that's what I want to bring back. Nothing is off limits, you know? Like back in the days at the cookout, if you had a cousin that was a little special, what'd your auntie say? Sit your slow ass down, son of a bitch. You're a retarded ass now. So, well, you've been trapping around all goddamn day. You know what I mean?
Appreciate that. Make it much success to you and your podcast. I hope it, well, I'm not hoping. It's going to go to the stars, you know? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. For the moon, man. You know, we got to keep shooting.
I mean, if I'm cool with you, I'm going to cuss you out about it. Boy, people don't understand. They don't understand being nice no more. Like, if I can't talk to you like a man and we talk to each other like that, then you're just like an associate. If I mess with you, then, hey, man, I want to see you win. Or let's just leave each other alone. You know what I mean?
Because you can't tell me that you want to do something and then you're going to sit and complain about what could happen. Are we either going to make a solution for it or you can lay in your own misery? Absolutely. You got to find a solution or, you know, like somebody told me when I first started doing comedy, my boy Ross McCoy, I was like, so what I do after this? He was like, you bomb a lot.
You, you're going to go to every mic, no matter what it feel like, you're just going to keep going, you know, just keep like, people say they go up a lot, but you is like, you have no idea, you know, like, like literally living and live this. That's it. Ain't, ain't nothing else, you know? I just keep going. You just got to keep going, especially when they look crazy.
That means something good coming around the corner.
And nobody want to hear your misery, your sad sob story. Like when I ended up in Austin, like, you know, Cam called me when he first moved there. And like, this was before Kill Tony. This was before all of that. Like he called me and I was like, man, how you liking it? And then like, he was like, man, I love it out here, man. I'm murdering these people. Like I'm really destroying out here.
So I was like, man, let me check this out. So it was, my birthday was like the next week. So I was like, I'm finna get a flight out of here. He was like, man, you ain't coming out here. So I caught a flight, got there that Saturday. I did an open mic that Sunday for Comedy Mothership, and I got invited back. So at that point, I was like, oh, this is the way in.
At the point right then, I was like, this is my opportunity right here. I got to make the best of this opportunity. And then, like, I kept coming, flying back and forth, you know, to come see Cam and to just get up. And then the Kill Tony thing happened when I was there. And it's just weird. Like, everything was like...
But I mean, you would think that's when it get easy, but that's when it get harder. Cause everybody's shooting at you then. Everybody wanna bury you when you go on stage. But I mean, that's where like the gang violence thing come from. If we on stage, like say we on the same show and I deal with you, I'm like gang violence. Hey, it's for the kid real.
I'm about to go over here and destroy these people. You better be able to follow it. You know, it's just like iron sharpening iron. You know what I mean? Just create your monsters, you know? Right. Right. It depends on where you look at it. Or, you know, like, I believe in just murdering, you know?
Straight up.
Yeah, I should have. I should have asked.
You know, I still try to not get too crazy, you know, try to be somewhat professional.
I got a buddy of mine named D-Rock. He a rapper. He's a comedian. Like one of my best friends, you know? And he was about to do a show with these people called Tom and Dan and my boy Ross McCoy. It was a local comedy show. I never did comedy, but I was always funny, you know? And I never knew where to start at. I never knew about none of that because I'm from Orlando.
So I found out once I went to the show, And I asked him beforehand, hey, can I get a little time? And Ross was like, nah, man, it's a real show. We ain't letting you up here. You ain't gonna come stink my stage up. But then when I got there, I had prepared, like maybe he might let me on. I never really wrote any jokes. I just wrote down some ideas. So when I got there, he was like, you know what?
Just get up. So I got up. It was really, really good. I asked him what to do next. And he say, you gotta, you live, this is your new life. You know, you do this every day. And that's what I did. I just, I just stayed at it. I stayed at it. I stayed at it. I stayed at it every day. Horrible mics. There's five people in there. Sometimes they'll be my favorite mics. I still go to the mics.
I'll go from a show at the mothership and go to the creaking cave at midnight. Just, to see if this new material work, because I'm not going to do it at the mothership yet. So it's like just going, just go and go and go and go and go. And it's just everything been falling into place. This ain't no process that's happened overnight. I'm at eight years. But I always knew this was going to happen.
I don't know if it sounds arrogant or however it sounds, but in my brain, when I tell myself I'm going to do something, it ain't no maybes. It ain't none of that. I don't use, though, that verbiage. You wouldn't have got on the first mic if you didn't see yourself doing it. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I was drinking. Like, I don't drink anymore. You know, it's been like almost 18 months now.
So, you know, I just, when I went back home, and I was kind of still like, hey, I'm happy. Like, I was going to kill Tony. Oh, everybody know who I am. And I was like, man, lock in. It's time to go. This is going to be the next step where your mama ain't got to work no more. You know what I mean? Lock in. It's time to go. Forget all that drinking and all that nonsense.
Because I used to work at hospitality, so it was second nature to drink, you know? Yeah. I had a drinking problem, though. I was like real, like all it. Real, yeah, like a real one. I waited tables for a long time. I worked in like construction type joint. I used to drive, deliver drywall, operate heavy machinery, all kind of stuff. You know, just like a normal, normal dude, you know?
Like I'm usually not even here. I could be in the same room with someone and not know nothing about what's going on. I'd be so much inside of my mind, you know? But on the next step, you know what I mean? That's just how I operate. I got to be doing something towards my goal. Because ain't nobody going to give it to you. So I'm going to just go take it.
It's always been fun in my life until it got to the point where it's like, now this is in front of you. And you know this will ruin you. Cause you gotta do this all the time now. You gotta always be thinking about this. There's gonna be people that come at you on the internet.
There's gonna be people that like, just try to like, you gotta have the, you gotta have the sense to know, all right, let me just leave this situation alone. Cause if you drinking, you might flip out on somebody. What if you beat somebody up and now you don't nobody wanna work with you. When I was drinking, I wasn't an angry drunk. I was probably like the happiest guy in the world.
But at the same time, it wasn't fulfilling to 100% to get where I needed to be mentally. So whatever that was, I had to cut it out. Like I woke up July 5th and I said, I ain't drinking no more because I got pretty drunk on the 4th. So I said, you know what? I'm done. I didn't necessarily have like the shakes and all of that.
But in the back of my mind, subliminally, I was like, I mean, subconsciously, I was like, All right, you know you can't drink. And then my everyday process is, okay, let me get a drink. So I would have to say, no, what are you doing? You know what I mean? Because subconsciously, that's just what I did.
What I like about it is, especially being a part of the Kill Tony universe, is... I'm never worried about getting canceled. Most of my subject matter is, like, it's not counselable. It's just from a different point of view. Like, I got all kind of jokes. I got everything you name, but you can't be offended by it.
Like, I got a trans joke where, like, I tell, and if it's homosexual people, it's been a trans woman. She was, like, 6'8", 240 in Atlanta. I'm on stage, and I'm thinking to myself, like, if you think I'm not telling this trans joke, you out of your mind. And then she laughed at it hysterically and was like, man, that's a good joke.
So, I mean, I just want to be that person that, like, bring back real kindness. Let people say what they want to say. How come most of the people offended, not even the people who we talking about? I ain't seen not one Puerto Rican say nothing or question nothing when that situation happened with Tony. Not one. Not one person. I mean, I don't really want to make it a race issue.
You know, maybe it's just a cultural issue. But in that case, it's a race.
Like, Black people, we want to talk about everybody else like jokes or everybody else could get it. Let one white dude say you ate some fried chicken. Oh, you racist. No, that's prejudice. It's a big difference. It's a stereotype that we use to make jokes about other people, but we might be worse than Jewish people.
Black, you can't say nothing about us, but we can say everything about everybody else. I don't care about no jokes. If it's funny, if it ain't funny, I ain't gonna laugh. If it's funny, I'm gonna laugh.
But we always got a defense mechanism up like everybody's against us unless we with our own people.
We need to bring back Archie Bunker. And George Jefferson, we need a show like that right now so we can realize, like, hey, man, my dad said something like this. He don't mean nothing by it. Archie Bunker was just dumb. George Jefferson was just dumb. But that's the way that America thought. But we was okay with that because this is, we still gotta live together.
That hate came from a not knowing. It came from the same thing. Like, I'm 43 years old. You got to do this. If I never did that, I would have been started this journey way earlier. But the thing is, if I would have started it earlier, I would have died. Because I'm pretty sure I would have got really, really famous and just did something. That would be my norm to be that way, you know?
To just be like, no understanding. Like, I'm 30 years old. I got a couple hundred million dollars, you know? I knew this process had to happen, but it happened when it needed to happen. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Because, you know, our parents told us, go to school, get a good job. And I could never really work for nobody. Like, I'd be working with somebody, and it'll go on for a while.
You look older than me.
And as soon as they get comfortable where they think they're going to say whatever they want to. Like, I've never had a boss in my life. You know what I mean? I've worked for companies. But anytime you even insinuate that you got some type of boss complex, I'm going to straighten you right there. First of all, I don't have a boss.
