When they wouldn't give him spots, because he was probably a bit to deal with, he would go to the Boston Comic Cup and yell in there,

Don't go in there, I'm doing my show in five minutes.

The whole fucking club would come out.

That's how much power he had.

But then sometimes that we become victims of our own vices and everything and destroy us more than anything.

That's why when people talk shit about like, Kevin Hart didn't get out the mud.

You got funny, but you know, funny isn't everything.

Fsk, you're funny, that's not, oh, so good that you got talent, but more importantly, it's your work ethics, and how do you take your God-given talent and your passion and turn it into money?

You know, you're into music and everything, you probably could name a million saxophonists or whatever that didn't get to do, that you could be like, well, listen to this shit, but for some reason, they didn't have the business part and all that together.

And I'm going back, I'm probably talking in circles now, but this is what upsets me the most about

my folks or whatever, these people that go on these platforms and talk shit about people.

There was a comedian that was talking shit about Martin Lawrence, right?

Well, I saw Martin Lawrence, and Martin Lawrence in the casino, he's really, it's not that funny.

I'm like this motherfucker, he's Martin Lawrence.

Well, they didn't know him in the 90s.

I used to have to follow Martin Lawrence at the Comedy Store.

No, this person particularly, no, if you just know Martin Lawrence, period, that's enough.

Richard Pryor, before he passed away, when he was in a wheelchair, damn near rolled him out on the stage, sold out audiences.

I followed him for six weeks.

Certain people, Joe, I look at this business, are made people.
