00:01:01.000 Rumble, Twitter, Twitch, and Facebook, just so y'all know.

00:01:03.000 We're going to be out of YouTube jail here in a few hours, guys, so bear with us, because we're in YouTube jail.

00:01:08.000 What do you want to say?

00:01:10.000 That niggas in jail? 1.00

00:01:12.000 You're like, we're not going to be on YouTube, because you ain't talking about some jail, motherfucker. 1.00

00:01:16.000 Yeah, bro. 1.00

00:01:17.000 What the fuck did y'all do? 1.00

00:01:18.000 What did y'all niggas do? 1.00

00:01:21.000 We pushed Edge too far, I guess.

00:01:24.000 We brought an alleged white supremacist on.

00:01:26.000 That's what we did.

00:01:27.000 How long is your jail term?

00:01:29.000 Is it longer than Tory Lanez?

00:01:30.000 Oh, God.

00:01:33.000 We're already going there, aren't we?

00:01:35.000 Here we go.

00:01:36.000 In a few hours, if not, they probably already know by now.

00:01:40.000 Yeah.

00:01:40.000 His sentence.

00:01:41.000 You know that, right?

00:01:42.000 You're right.

00:01:42.000 But hold on.

00:01:43.000 You think he did it? 1.00

00:01:45.000 Mother sucker, come on. 1.00

00:01:47.000 As a black man, you think he did it? 1.00

00:01:48.000 What do you mean as a black man? 1.00

00:01:49.000 I'm gonna put my compression into this shit, motherfucker. 1.00

00:01:52.000 I mean, I come to the evidence, you know. 1.00

00:01:56.000 What do we do?

00:01:56.000 I think he did it.

00:01:58.000 They have evidence.

00:02:00.000 Yeah, but it could be fake, no?

00:02:02.000 Here's the thing.

00:02:03.000 Here's my thing on testifying, okay, on court.

00:02:06.000 If I didn't do something, I'm getting on that stand.

00:02:10.000 I'm gonna convince them judges. 0.99

00:02:12.000 Them fucking, um, jewelers. 0.99

00:02:15.000 Because I didn't do it. 1.00

00:02:16.000 Okay.

00:02:17.000 When you don't get on the stage, I feel like you're hiding something.

00:02:20.000 Mmm.

00:02:21.000 I mean, true, but you can't use it against them, though. 0.98

00:02:25.000 I know that, nigga, if I didn't kill somebody, I got to go convince them niggas I didn't kill somebody. 1.00

00:02:31.000 I'm going to get on that stand. 0.97

00:02:32.000 If I got to cry, swear to every guy there is, you're going to believe me because I know I didn't do it.

00:02:37.000 Right. 1.00

00:02:38.000 I'm not going to fuck them lawyers, man. 1.00

00:02:39.000 Them lawyers always tell you, don't go incriminate yourself. 1.00

00:02:42.000 Nigga, if you didn't do it, go on that stand. 0.99

00:02:44.000 Proof to them niggas you didn't do it. 1.00

00:02:46.000 Nothing more important than your own words.

00:02:48.000 I speculate, because I studied that case a lot, I speculate that it was her friend that shot her, because they got in a full-on fist fight right before, and I think her friend was the one that actually shot her. 1.00

00:02:57.000 But, I mean, it's bullshit, bro. 0.99

00:02:59.000 I mean, you know, that's what happens when... 1.00

00:03:01.000 Man, I'll fuck out to my lawyer. 1.00

00:03:02.000 Fuck you, nigga. 1.00

00:03:03.000 I don't understand. 1.00

00:03:05.000 Yeah, and here's the thing, like, there's rare instances where taking a stand is actually good, and one of them is self-defense.

00:03:09.000 Well, yeah, I mean, OJ Simpson worked for OJ Simpson.

00:03:12.000 They do work for some people.

00:03:13.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:14.000 But, man, fuck that. 1.00

00:03:16.000 If I'm going on a stand, especially if I know I didn't. 1.00

00:03:18.000 OJ didn't take a stand, he knew. 1.00

00:03:19.000 Yeah, he would have killed his ass if you took a stand. 1.00

00:03:21.000 If you did it, nigga, get the fuck up that stand. 1.00

00:03:23.000 Don't do it. 1.00

00:03:24.000 Yeah, okay.

00:03:25.000 That's fair.

00:03:25.000 But, yeah, man, I hope Torrey doesn't, he's looking at what, like 9 to 15?

00:03:29.000 13 years, I think.

00:03:30.000 13 years?

00:03:30.000 Well, yeah, he had very good behavior.

00:03:33.000 It was a...

00:03:34.000 what's her name?

00:03:36.000 Somebody wrote a letter for him.

00:03:38.000 Oh, he had a character letter.

00:03:40.000 A lot of characters.

00:03:41.000 75 of them.

00:03:43.000 One of them was...

00:03:44.000 I forgot the girl's name.

00:03:46.000 I... [...

00:03:52.000 Lots of letters on his behalf.

00:03:54.000 But I think, to me, the biggest mistake he did was not going on that stand. 1.00

00:03:58.000 Improving to them motherfuckers. 0.99

00:03:59.000 Behind closed doors, what's this Hollywood thing? 1.00

00:04:01.000 Do they think he's innocent too?

00:04:02.000 Or are they just being quiet about it?

00:04:04.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:04:05.000 They just felt like he could have handled it a little differently after it happened.

00:04:10.000 You know, we know.

00:04:12.000 Me Too era.

00:04:13.000 Where you can't do wrong to women.

00:04:15.000 Facts.

00:04:16.000 So, you know...

00:04:17.000 And she took the stand and got it there and made them emotional. 1.00

00:04:19.000 Like, Megan...

00:04:20.000 Megan Thee Stallion, excuse me, took the stand and was super, you know what I mean, emotional and made them... 0.99

00:04:25.000 And it went a Me Too era where, you know, this is a woman's time right now. 0.70

00:04:30.000 Mm-hmm.

00:04:31.000 You know, so if he did what he did by accident or whatever, he should have been in contact with her and apologized.

00:04:38.000 Find a way to make it better. 0.97

00:04:40.000 Yeah, but apologizing, he kind of did and that fucked him up. 0.82

00:04:42.000 Yeah, I think he offered to make things go better. 0.51

00:04:44.000 That's what made him look bad.

00:04:45.000 He should have just never contacted her.

00:04:46.000 So if he apologizes, are you saying he did it?

00:04:49.000 No, but they can look at it as that he's culpable by apologizing.

00:04:53.000 Even if he didn't do it, they can say, oh, well, why are you apologizing then?

00:04:57.000 At the end of the day, man, women... 1.00

00:04:59.000 Women, especially black women, you know, black women are for the black men. 1.00

00:05:05.000 Most of them are all about black men. 0.99

00:05:07.000 They do prefer black men, yeah. 0.99

00:05:08.000 They do for the black men. 0.99

00:05:09.000 And they don't want to see a black man go down. 0.98

00:05:11.000 You know, so if any black man, if you did something wrong to a woman, you just call her up, like, baby, I'm sorry. 0.95

00:05:16.000 Women have a sympathy. 1.00

00:05:17.000 They have a heart for black men.

00:05:19.000 But she recorded him, bro. 1.00

00:05:20.000 She recorded that phone call, man, and that ended up fucking him up. 0.98

00:05:20.000 Huh? 0.98

00:05:22.000 Yeah.

00:05:23.000 She recorded it?

00:05:24.000 She recorded it.

00:05:25.000 They played it in trial that he called her and was like, man, I'm so sorry this happened, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:29.000 And they tried to insinuate that that was an admission of guilt.

00:05:31.000 Yeah, Meg the horse.

00:05:32.000 I mean, Stallion.

00:05:33.000 Meg the snitch. 1.00

00:05:35.000 Yeah, bro.

00:05:36.000 Whatever it is, I wish... 0.99

00:05:37.000 Put him in jail, goddammit! 0.99

00:05:38.000 I wish he would have... 1.00

00:05:39.000 He's fucked up. 1.00

00:05:39.000 He would have went a different route with it. 1.00

00:05:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:41.000 That's a rare situation where I think taking a stand potentially could have helped him.

00:05:45.000 Oh, I would have took the stand.

00:05:46.000 Potentially.

00:05:47.000 I don't understand. 1.00

00:05:48.000 I didn't do nothing, motherfucker. 1.00

00:05:50.000 Is this one case? 1.00

00:05:51.000 This one case I watched during the pandemic called Steve Avery.

00:05:54.000 Have you found Steve Avery? 1.00

00:05:55.000 Man, that shit's... 1.00

00:05:56.000 It's still on Netflix. 1.00

00:05:58.000 This guy was...

00:06:01.000 Falsely accused of murder.

00:06:03.000 Not murder, of rape.

00:06:05.000 Falsely accused of rape, right?

00:06:06.000 And then went to jail.

00:06:08.000 18 years later, did the DNA. And there was somebody else.

00:06:11.000 Right?

00:06:12.000 And then when he got out of jail, somebody dies.

00:06:12.000 I never know.

00:06:16.000 Right? 0.99

00:06:17.000 Accused him of raping and killing a girl. 0.99

00:06:20.000 That came to his junkyard. 0.99

00:06:22.000 He owned a junkyard, right?

00:06:25.000 It's like, when you watch it, you're not going to know whether this guy did it or not.

00:06:28.000 Because when he was accused, and then later on the DNA came out and he didn't do it, he started to sue the city.

00:06:36.000 So now he had the whole city, the whole police officers were against him.

00:06:40.000 Because he's suing them.

00:06:42.000 And all of a sudden now somebody dies and then, you know, all the evidence was on him.

00:06:47.000 And then boom.

00:06:49.000 He came now, because he was suing for millions of dollars, now you gotta go to jail. 1.00

00:06:53.000 Damn! 1.00

00:06:54.000 And this guy did not get on the stand. 1.00

00:06:56.000 He didn't get on the stand.

00:06:58.000 You gotta go to Netflix, watch a Steve Avery case.

00:07:01.000 Well, one of the few things I would say, like, self-defense is typically you got to take the stand for that.

00:07:05.000 That's why Kyle Rittenhouse beat his case.

00:07:07.000 And then the other one is if you try to shoot someone or you didn't do it or that person is still alive and they're pointing at you, taking a stand sometimes might be good, but it's very case-by-case basis.

00:07:17.000 Okay.

00:07:17.000 But, yeah, in general, taking a stand is not a good idea.

00:07:20.000 But, Michael, welcome back to Fresh and Fit, man.

00:07:23.000 It's been, like, almost two years, brother.

00:07:24.000 It has been a while.

00:07:25.000 I miss you guys, man.

00:07:26.000 I miss the...

00:07:27.000 We miss you too, Murasaki. 0.95

00:07:29.000 Nigga on steroids and of course... 1.00

00:07:31.000 My dark-skinned brother, I miss you, man.

00:07:33.000 We have to stick together.

00:07:35.000 I remember last year, we were a Rolex gang.

00:07:37.000 Things changed a little bit.

00:07:38.000 You know, I got the same watch.

00:07:40.000 This nigga moved up and got a whole AP watch, man. 1.00

00:07:44.000 Me, I'm just, you know... 0.93

00:07:48.000 In Hollywood or entertainment world, everything is just a show.

00:07:52.000 You know, you got to look a certain way for putting respect. 0.99

00:07:55.000 You got to, you know, and me, it just, all this shit I got on, just like, it's just for the stage. 0.99

00:08:01.000 I'm on stage right now. 0.96

00:08:03.000 Unfortunately, I only have two audio members, but this is a stage for me.

00:08:07.000 You know what I mean?

00:08:08.000 But he got the real deal, man. 1.00

00:08:09.000 You got the real fucking deal. 0.99

00:08:12.000 You're the real deal, Michael. 1.00

00:08:14.000 I'm just an entertainer.

00:08:15.000 What's new with you, bro?

00:08:16.000 What's happening with you?

00:08:17.000 Man, just staying busy, touring.

00:08:19.000 You know, the biggest...

00:08:21.000 I accomplished my biggest accomplishment in my life.

00:08:24.000 What's that?

00:08:25.000 I built a school in my village.

00:08:26.000 A free school for the kids.

00:08:28.000 You talked about that last time you were here.

00:08:30.000 You got it done.

00:08:31.000 It's done.

00:08:34.000 Mike, you know who they finished their school yet?

00:08:38.000 Dr.

00:08:38.000 Omar.

00:08:41.000 Yo, where's your school, bro?

00:08:43.000 I know you bought your school, but where's his school?

00:08:46.000 I'm just saying, bro.

00:08:47.000 It's been 10 years, no? 1.00

00:08:48.000 What the fuck, punk bitch? 1.00

00:08:50.000 Damn! 1.00

00:08:52.000 I didn't know he was going to school. 1.00

00:08:53.000 Was he going to school?

00:08:54.000 I'm just saying, bro.

00:08:56.000 I think so.

00:08:57.000 Yeah, with me, it was so needed.

00:08:58.000 For over 10 years, Mo?

00:08:59.000 Mo got the Carfax, he knows.

00:09:01.000 In those villages in most part of Africa, especially West Africa, a lot of kids don't go to school.

00:09:07.000 They can't afford uniform or the simplest things.

00:09:10.000 You know, and a lot of times there's a few government schools in the area.

00:09:15.000 Government schools are like public schools.

00:09:17.000 So those are like overcrowded or they fill up too fast.

00:09:20.000 And then now you have to go to private school or you're not going to go to school at all.

00:09:23.000 And a lot of kids just walk around.

00:09:25.000 A lot of them, they've just been home so long at like seven, eight years old.

00:09:29.000 They don't even know what to do in school.

00:09:31.000 So that's why I built a school for these kids in the village.

00:09:35.000 Let's educate them early, man.

00:09:36.000 You know, I used to go home and I'd see kids walking around during school hours.

00:09:40.000 They wouldn't understand why.

00:09:41.000 And when I found out why, I said to myself, I have to do something about it.

00:09:45.000 And I finally did.

00:09:46.000 Build them a school.

00:09:47.000 Free food, free uniform, free education.

00:09:50.000 The only thing you gotta pay for is pay attention to the teacher.

00:09:53.000 That's it, man.

00:09:54.000 All out of my pocket.

00:09:55.000 Completely out of my pocket.

00:09:56.000 Every month, I fund the school.

00:09:58.000 I build with my own money.

00:09:59.000 Teachers are paid every month. 1.00

00:10:01.000 Damn. 0.99

00:10:02.000 I mean, teachers, chefs, security, utilities, everything's done. 1.00

00:10:08.000 All out of my pocket.

00:10:09.000 Books, everything.

00:10:10.000 I'm giving all back.

00:10:11.000 To the less fortunate.

00:10:14.000 Michael's a good dude.

00:10:15.000 And I remember you talking about this last time, and it's a blessing that you actually got it done.

00:10:19.000 But for the people that might not know who you are or aren't aware of your story, can you tell the people your come-up story of how you beat poverty and made the United States?

00:10:27.000 Oh, yes, man.

00:10:28.000 You know, it came... 1.00

00:10:29.000 What the fuck is that? 1.00

00:10:31.000 You like that? 1.00

00:10:32.000 You like that, man?

00:10:33.000 Crystal the sound effects.

00:10:34.000 Go ahead.

00:10:34.000 Go ahead, man.

00:10:35.000 I was into a cracky.

00:10:36.000 That's a cracky music.

00:10:39.000 That's when you were covering from cracky and coming back to life. 1.00

00:10:43.000 Don't play that shit again, my nigga. 1.00

00:10:47.000 X cracky music on me. 1.00

00:10:53.000 But no, you know, I came from nothing.

00:10:55.000 Absolutely nothing.

00:10:56.000 My mother, you know, my mother left my father.

00:10:59.000 She had given her life to Christ many years ago.

00:11:01.000 He left my father because my dad didn't want to live that life.

00:11:04.000 My mom took her kids. 0.83

00:11:05.000 She had seven kids.

00:11:06.000 My father traveled by road preaching the gospel, you know, had us going around door to door.

00:11:12.000 People gave us their home to live in, you know.

00:11:14.000 And this is in Ghana, right?

00:11:15.000 You were born from Ghana to Liberia.

00:11:17.000 Yeah.

00:11:18.000 To all parts of Nigeria, to all parts of different parts of Africa.

00:11:21.000 And then by the time I was 13, you know, she had got an invitation to come and preach at a church in New Jersey.

00:11:27.000 And that's how I ended up in America.

00:11:29.000 And I mean, I hope immigration is not listening. 1.00

00:11:35.000 But if they are listening, you know, it was an invitation to come and preach for like two weeks and then go back.

00:11:41.000 But I knew my mother was, I knew it wasn't going to go back.

00:11:44.000 He also overstayed the visa.

00:11:46.000 He overstayed the visa.

00:11:47.000 Allegedly.

00:11:49.000 Allegedly.

00:12:24.000 This thing, being a citizen, is not easy.

00:12:26.000 No, it's hard, bro.

00:12:27.000 It's a process.

00:12:28.000 You know, then you have to have your green card for like five years.

00:12:32.000 You know, and even getting a green card is a process.

00:12:34.000 It took me almost 30 years to become a citizen. 0.98

00:12:38.000 Wow, are you old, nigga? 1.00

00:12:39.000 Yes, I'm old. 1.00

00:12:40.000 You know, and then you gotta take a test where they ask these dumbass questions. 0.98

00:12:45.000 Like, what's the capital of the United States? 1.00

00:12:46.000 Miami, bitch. 1.00

00:13:10.000 Orange.

00:13:11.000 Yo! 1.00

00:13:12.000 Oh, man.

00:13:13.000 Oh, man.

00:13:13.000 But I came from nothing.

00:13:15.000 You know, we came to America, lived in people's basement.

00:13:18.000 My mother worked at McDonald's at one time, made $50 a week to feed us. 0.99

00:13:22.000 Damn. 0.99

00:13:22.000 And brought home all the unused burgers at the job for us to eat for dinner. 0.99

00:13:27.000 Was this in Philly?

00:13:29.000 That was in Jersey.

00:13:30.000 I moved to Philly.

00:13:31.000 We did Philly three years after being in Jersey.

00:13:33.000 Moved to Philly.

00:13:34.000 By the time I got to Philly, things got a little bit better.

00:13:36.000 You're in high school at this point?

00:13:37.000 High school, yeah.

00:13:38.000 I got to Philly.

00:13:39.000 I was 11th grade at the time.

00:13:40.000 And then I went to, got a job at Domino's Pizza.

00:13:43.000 You know, I started off just answering the phones and I went to delivering pizzas on a bike because I didn't have a car.

00:13:49.000 And then I was in Domino's flight all the way till I was after high school.

00:13:53.000 Now, mind you, after high school, Graduated with A and B in my grade, but I couldn't even go to college because I had to help my mother pay bills.

00:14:02.000 I had family back home.

00:14:04.000 I had to send money home.

00:14:05.000 So I had to just keep working.

00:14:07.000 I tried to get in the military.

00:14:09.000 I tried going to army because army would pay you and travel the world, but I didn't have a green card.

00:14:14.000 I just had a work permit.

00:14:15.000 I didn't have a green card, so I couldn't even go in the army.

00:14:17.000 So I had to keep working and just helping my family back home.

00:14:20.000 Question for you, Mike.

00:14:21.000 Talk to me.

00:14:22.000 What are your thoughts on people that are born and raised here that make excuses for why they're not where they want to be, being an immigrant like yourself, where it took you 30 years to get your citizenship?

00:14:33.000 Definitely.

00:14:34.000 There's no excuse in America.

00:14:36.000 No excuse, man.

00:14:37.000 And, I mean, don't get it wrong.

00:14:39.000 You know, I could make a little bit of excuse for black America. 1.00

00:14:42.000 A little bit of excuse.

00:14:43.000 A little bit.

00:14:44.000 Only because, you know, they didn't grow up with wealth.

00:14:49.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:14:50.000 They didn't grow up with wealth.

00:14:51.000 You know, most white people...

00:14:54.000 Grew up in wealth.

00:14:55.000 I mean, their parents got life insurance.

00:14:57.000 And they died and they leave $200,000.

00:14:59.000 If you're starting your life up with $200,000, you're already ahead of life.

00:15:03.000 But Blackpool, they live in the projects. 0.99

00:15:06.000 They ain't paying no $30 a month on no fucking life insurance. 0.99

00:15:09.000 You ain't thinking about that. 1.00

00:15:12.000 You're not thinking about that.

00:15:13.000 But regardless of that, you're talking about a man that was not a citizen, came here, had nothing.

00:15:19.000 And don't get it wrong, God gave me a gift of being a comedian, and I know everybody don't have that gift to go make people laugh and make a whole bunch of money.

00:15:27.000 But if I wasn't a comedian...

00:15:29.000 In a second language, too.

00:15:30.000 In a second language.

00:15:31.000 Now, if I wasn't a comedian, I worked at Domino's.

00:15:33.000 Mind you, before I became a comedian, I worked at Domino's.

00:15:36.000 And I started off answering the phones, delivering pieces on a bike, being an assistant manager, and being a manager by the time I was 20 years old, running the store, hiring and firing.

00:15:44.000 Now, what happens after this is, after working at any fast food restaurant for a certain amount of years, You can find a way to own one.

00:15:52.000 Yeah.

00:15:53.000 There's always a way to become successful in anything you do.

00:15:56.000 Yeah.

00:15:56.000 Maybe you're a landscaper.

00:15:58.000 You'll cut this niggas grass. 1.00

00:15:58.000 That's fine. 1.00

00:16:00.000 Find out how you're going to own your own landscaping company.

00:16:02.000 How you can be the boss.

00:16:03.000 America has the opportunities.

00:16:03.000 Right.

00:16:05.000 So there's no fucking excuse for nobody in America. 0.98

00:16:08.000 You could be successful in anything you do. 0.99

00:16:10.000 Whether you're a trash man or you're a landscaper or you work at McDonald's. 0.72

00:16:14.000 Work there long enough and find out how you can own a McDonald's.

00:16:17.000 Let me say yes, too, because I worked at McDonald's when I was 16, and I really think every young man should have at least one fast food job in their lifetime and also go ahead and have at least one manual labor job, whether it's landscaping or construction or whatever, and learn sweat equity with making money.

00:16:32.000 And here's the thing.

00:16:33.000 I'm not telling you how to be in that job forever.

00:16:34.000 What I am telling you is that it's going to teach you character and make you appreciate when you actually do get a real job.

00:16:39.000 And most importantly, it's going to teach you what life will be like if you don't get high income skills.

00:16:43.000 And also humble you as well.

00:16:44.000 It'll humble you, man. 0.93

00:16:46.000 Working at McDonald's really helped me build character, made me realize, like, God damn, I don't want to do this.

00:16:50.000 I better, like, become successful. 0.83

00:16:51.000 I was blessed at Chick-fil-A. My pleasure.

00:16:53.000 My pleasure.

00:16:54.000 Yes.

00:16:55.000 I'm sorry, you were saying...

00:16:56.000 I got you.

00:16:56.000 Okay, cool.

00:16:57.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:16:59.000 So, there's no excuse, guys.

00:17:02.000 You could do the least...

00:17:04.000 And...

00:17:07.000 My whole thing, I hate to see guys go to jail for selling dope or scamming.

00:17:11.000 I'm like, there's so many legal ways of making money.

00:17:14.000 You know?

00:17:16.000 It's like your freedom is the most important thing in the world.

00:17:19.000 Why would you jeopardize your freedom?

00:17:21.000 You know? 0.98

00:17:22.000 Nigga, go get a job at McDonald's if you have to. 1.00

00:17:26.000 You have freedom. 0.98

00:17:27.000 The thing about it, you go sell dope, make low $50,000 a week, you go spend a week in jail, be like, damn, I wish I'd ever did this. 0.97

00:17:34.000 Yeah. 0.91

00:17:35.000 And Philly is consistently in the top 10 most dangerous cities in the United States.

00:17:37.000 What was it like growing up in Philadelphia as an immigrant, bro?

00:17:41.000 Yeah, Philly was rough.

00:17:42.000 Um...

00:17:43.000 When I grew up in Philly, we're talking about like early 90s. 0.99

00:17:46.000 Goddamn! 0.98

00:17:47.000 That's when I started. 0.98

00:17:48.000 I was a teenager in the early 90s.

00:18:11.000 That is true. 1.00

00:18:12.000 But yeah, what was you saying?

00:18:16.000 Now I'm confused.

00:18:17.000 I'll say it because you were in Philly in the 90s.

00:18:19.000 Philly's rough, man.

00:18:20.000 You know, but the thing about it, Philly, when I came to Philly in the early 90s, I had left Jersey.

00:18:26.000 When I left Jersey and came to Philly, Philly looked like a gold mine compared to Jersey.

00:18:31.000 What part of Jersey were you in? 0.98

00:18:32.000 I was in Newark, nigga. 0.93

00:18:33.000 Brick City, exactly. 0.86

00:18:35.000 Over there, getting a job at McDonald's was like a privilege.

00:18:38.000 It was hard as hell.

00:18:40.000 When I got to Philly, things were a little easier.

00:18:42.000 I was able to get a job.

00:18:44.000 I was able to get a job, and I was able to, like, you know, right away, I got a job right away.

00:18:49.000 My mother, you found, cost of living was a lot cheaper in Philly. 0.98

00:18:53.000 Yeah.

00:18:53.000 My mother found a three-bedroom row house in a hood, and I didn't know what a hood was.

00:18:58.000 I just wanted my own fucking room. 0.99

00:19:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:19:01.000 And this shit cost, she was paying $300 a month. 1.00

00:19:12.000 Okay. 1.00

00:19:12.000 It's like a 1993-bedroom. 1.00

00:19:14.000 That same place right now is probably $1,500 a month now.

00:19:18.000 Still not that.

00:19:19.000 I wasn't even born yet.

00:19:20.000 1990, yeah. 1.00

00:19:42.000 But yeah, man, so Philly was rough. 1.00

00:19:45.000 Um...

00:19:57.000 We're good to go.

00:20:12.000 So I grew up in a very tough era.

00:20:14.000 The 90s were bad with all these major East Coast cities.

00:20:18.000 New York City was terrible as well.

00:20:19.000 It wasn't until Giuliani got in that he cleaned up New York a little bit.

00:20:22.000 For real?

00:20:23.000 Yeah, but the 90s were just terrible.

00:20:25.000 Oh, the 90s was terrible.

00:20:26.000 It was just taking lives, man.

00:20:27.000 Like, it was nothing.

00:20:28.000 And thank God I survived through it because, you know, When I came to America, my first few years was rough.

00:20:35.000 You know, I got, I went to school.

00:20:38.000 I'm not going to eighth grade.

00:20:39.000 You know, my mom, we had no money.

00:20:40.000 My mother went to like, when she bought my school clothes from a Woolworth.

00:20:44.000 Your parents do a Woolworth.

00:20:45.000 Woolworth, yeah.

00:20:46.000 My Woolworth.

00:20:47.000 That's in Barbados too.

00:20:48.000 They have Woolworth.

00:20:49.000 Yeah.

00:20:49.000 So my mom, it's like a cheap store.

00:20:52.000 It's like the new Walmart, nigga. 1.00

00:20:54.000 They have Woolworth. 0.92

00:20:55.000 They have McCurry's.

00:20:57.000 Those are the new Walmart.

00:20:58.000 So it's not FUBU. It's like poor FUBU. Nah, nigga. 1.00

00:21:00.000 It's like a homeless FUBU. And then, even at some time back then, they used to sell sneakers in grocery stores, like Pathmark was a grocery store. 0.93

00:21:11.000 My mother bought me a pair of sneakers in Pathmark. 0.99

00:21:15.000 Goddamn! 0.98

00:21:15.000 I wore some chicken-flavored sneakers for two years. 0.98

00:21:19.000 You must have got roasted, bro.

00:21:20.000 I didn't know they had Pathmark in Pennsylvania.

00:21:23.000 I thought it was just a New York thing.

00:21:24.000 This is Jersey.

00:21:25.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, okay.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:27.000 And I went to school.

00:21:29.000 I'm on the first day of school, man.

00:21:30.000 I'm going to school. 1.00

00:21:35.000 Chicken flavor sneakers. 0.99

00:21:37.000 I'm thinking I'm about to go shit on these niggas because I got new clothes on. 1.00

00:21:40.000 Because in Africa, at that time of the year, I mean, at that era in my life in Africa, all the girls care about you having the new clothes. 0.99

00:21:48.000 We didn't care about name brand.

00:21:50.000 We didn't know what name brand was.

00:21:51.000 Right.

00:21:51.000 We didn't know about no Adidas or Nike.

00:21:53.000 We didn't care about that shit. 1.00

00:21:54.000 You know, America is like that fucking, it's like the garden of Eden. 1.00

00:21:58.000 Once you ate the apple, you saw everything. 1.00

00:22:00.000 In Africa, we didn't eat the apple yet.

00:22:02.000 So we didn't see all them little things that really matter here.

00:22:05.000 We didn't see name brand.

00:22:08.000 We didn't see complexion.

00:22:10.000 Really?

00:22:11.000 That's serious, man.

00:22:13.000 In Liberia, where I grew up at, you would not know, this guy don't look light-skinned to you.

00:22:18.000 We're all the same.

00:22:19.000 I never saw complexions until I got to America.

00:22:22.000 Oh, yeah.

00:22:22.000 And when I got to America, I'm hanging out with some dudes, you know, some dark, some light brown.

00:22:27.000 I'm probably the darkest one at that moment. 0.97

00:22:29.000 I see a niggerless complexion, a nigger your complexion, a brown-skinned nigger. 1.00

00:22:33.000 We all hanging out. 1.00

00:22:49.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99

00:22:52.000 And that was in the era of Michael Jackson and Prince era. 1.00

00:22:55.000 And I'm like, damn, so now you got me self-conscious about my complexion. 0.98

00:22:59.000 I ain't gonna lie. 0.99

00:23:00.000 Y'all are kind of black though. 0.97

00:23:01.000 Funny story for y'all. 0.74

00:23:02.000 Before we started the show, on our main camera angle, Chris, show it to them.

00:23:05.000 Right here. 0.97

00:23:06.000 So the main camera, on one, when I got up to go take a piss, the ISO automatically went up because these dudes are so black. 1.00

00:23:12.000 When I left the table, I kid you not, guys. 0.98

00:23:14.000 I swear to God. 0.99

00:23:15.000 I get up, ISO goes up because these dudes are so black, man. 1.00

00:23:18.000 In our defense, the sun was going down, too. 0.96

00:23:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:23:20.000 Okay.

00:23:20.000 If the black guy had buried, the sweet of the juice.

00:23:22.000 Yes! 1.00

00:23:23.000 Girls love the blacker. 1.00

00:23:24.000 I am diabetes, motherfucker. 1.00

00:23:28.000 Okay, Mike, you mentioned earlier freedom, right? 1.00

00:23:31.000 Speaking of freedom, now you're a single mother sucker. 1.00

00:23:33.000 What's happening? 0.99

00:23:34.000 You're a single guy now.

00:23:35.000 I've just been single for life.

00:23:37.000 Why about with the Asian chick, man? 1.00

00:23:38.000 Yeah, last time. 1.00

00:23:39.000 You know, she got fed up with my shit, man. 1.00

00:23:43.000 You know, she gave me so much freedom, enough freedom, and man, man, we just greedy. 0.99

00:23:49.000 This is the first time I'm actually talking about it.

00:23:51.000 Nobody in this world knows.

00:23:52.000 You guys are getting exclusive information about Radha leaving me.

00:23:57.000 Guys, like the video, man.

00:23:58.000 Nobody knows because I'm the type of nigga, I'm not going to post about it.

00:24:04.000 Especially on a new breakup. 1.00

00:24:06.000 You don't post about it because if she comes back a month later, you look stupid. 1.00

00:24:10.000 How long ago? 1.00

00:24:11.000 A week. 1.00

00:24:12.000 Oh, damn! 0.99

00:24:13.000 About a week ago. 1.00

00:24:14.000 About a week ago.

00:24:15.000 A week ago.

00:24:16.000 But she already went on social media and said something.

00:24:18.000 Right, right. 1.00

00:24:19.000 Which is so dumb. 0.99

00:24:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:24:21.000 Stupid. 1.00

00:24:21.000 It's too early. 1.00

00:24:22.000 It's too young.

00:24:24.000 What if you come back? 1.00

00:24:25.000 Now you look very dumb in front of your friends. 1.00

00:24:27.000 That's why I'm not going to be dumb enough to make a post about it. 1.00

00:24:29.000 Yeah.

00:24:30.000 Maybe I'll let the world know I'm single maybe like five, six months. 1.00

00:24:35.000 You know, because five or six months, I'm expecting her to fuck somebody else. 1.00

00:24:39.000 And then I'm not going to want her anymore. 1.00

00:24:41.000 You know what I mean?

00:24:41.000 If she came back to you now, would you take her?

00:24:43.000 You know, the thing about it, she's a great woman.

00:24:49.000 I mean, she's access to my company.

00:24:52.000 She does everything for me.

00:24:54.000 But she still works for me. 1.00

00:24:56.000 She's still on payroll.

00:24:57.000 She's still answering the stuff.

00:24:59.000 We're just not communicating about relationships.

00:25:01.000 She's still working.

00:25:03.000 And I told her, I said, listen, you can work as long as you want.

00:25:05.000 You get your paycheck.

00:25:07.000 She's great assets for me. 0.97

00:25:09.000 She runs my non-profit.

00:25:12.000 She helped with my school back home.

00:25:14.000 Very valuable. 1.00

00:25:15.000 You know, she brings more to the table than just pussy. 1.00

00:25:18.000 Because sometimes just women just bring pussy. 1.00

00:25:21.000 And sometimes you need a little bit more. 1.00

00:25:22.000 So it's more to it.

00:25:24.000 But, you know, hey, I'm a man.

00:25:27.000 I'm just greedy.

00:25:28.000 I can't, you know, I just can't...

00:25:30.000 I just...

00:25:32.000 Whatever it is, it's my fault.

00:25:34.000 It's not her.

00:25:35.000 I'm the blame.

00:25:36.000 You know, and when we...

00:25:37.000 She don't like you bringing all the girls around? 1.00

00:25:38.000 Is that what it was?

00:25:39.000 Well, you know, she... 1.00

00:25:41.000 You know, from the beginning, I told her what I was about.

00:25:43.000 You know, I'm like, hey, listen.

00:25:45.000 And then she gave me that whole thing.

00:25:47.000 You can have one side chick a month.

00:25:49.000 Mm-hmm.

00:25:50.000 And, you know, occasionally I might get greedy and have two threes instead of just one.

00:25:55.000 Ten.

00:25:56.000 Because I'm just a man.

00:25:58.000 I'm just, I'm like, y'all niggas. 0.96

00:26:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:01.000 Right?

00:26:01.000 I remember her coming on the show and agreeing and saying it was cool.

00:26:04.000 I remember too.

00:26:05.000 She understands.

00:26:06.000 I remember telling her, like, bro, Mike can replace you faster than you can replace him.

00:26:09.000 I remember telling her that.

00:26:10.000 She don't like that.

00:26:11.000 She don't like that.

00:26:12.000 She don't like you. 0.85

00:26:13.000 I know she don't. 1.00

00:26:14.000 She hates you, motherfucker. 1.00

00:26:17.000 But yeah, but you know, when breakups are new, I don't mean, because I'm like, my thing is, she's such a great asset to me. 1.00

00:26:26.000 If she came back tomorrow, I'd probably still take her back. 0.99

00:26:30.000 Because, you know, she's very helpful. 0.97

00:26:32.000 You know, she's just not more than just sex. 0.99

00:26:34.000 She does a lot more. 0.78

00:26:36.000 You know, so...

00:26:38.000 And she has pride, too, so she might not come back. 0.95

00:26:41.000 She's 40, bro.

00:26:42.000 She better drop that pride, man. 1.00

00:26:44.000 She's got Asian pride.

00:26:46.000 You can only have pride when you're 25 and below.

00:26:49.000 After that, you got to drop that pride.

00:26:51.000 Mike, keep it real, though.

00:26:52.000 Most niggas going to cheat at some point. 1.00

00:26:54.000 Yeah, probably 96.8%.

00:26:57.000 There are three niggas that don't cheat, and they are cheating right now. 1.00

00:27:04.000 It happens, man.

00:27:04.000 Yeah, man.

00:27:05.000 I hate these guys that get on here and say, oh, I'm going to be faithful to my wife.

00:27:08.000 I'm going to be traditionally Christian and observe monogamy and all these traditional values. 1.00

00:27:12.000 You guys be full of fucking shit, man. 1.00

00:27:14.000 Especially successful people that work. 1.00

00:27:17.000 Yeah.

00:27:19.000 Let's be real.

00:27:20.000 Let's keep it real.

00:27:20.000 Yeah.

00:27:22.000 Everything we do in this world, we do it for the women. 0.99

00:27:25.000 Yeah.

00:27:26.000 On some level, yeah. 1.00

00:27:26.000 I got a nice clue so I could bring a chick in there and fuck her. 1.00

00:27:29.000 I got a nice car so I could put a girl in there. 1.00

00:27:31.000 She be like, oh my god, nice car. 1.00

00:27:33.000 She give me some pussy. 1.00

00:27:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:34.000 I make a lot of money so I'm like, damn, you didn't make a lot of money. 1.00

00:27:37.000 I'm like, fuck her. 1.00

00:27:38.000 Everything we do... 1.00

00:27:40.000 It's for sex. 0.97

00:27:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:41.000 If we didn't have bitches, bro, every dude here would be living with a TV on the floor, one couch, one bedroom, piece of shit apartment, and like one table. 1.00

00:27:51.000 I'd be homeless, nigga. 1.00

00:27:53.000 It takes so little for men to be happy, bro. 0.96

00:27:56.000 It's funny because like girls will come over, right? 1.00

00:27:58.000 They'll see like my room and they're like, you don't have anything here. 0.90

00:28:00.000 And I'm like, why the fuck do I need anything?

00:28:02.000 And they're like, where's the TV? Well, you don't have a nice day. 0.98

00:28:05.000 All this shit. 1.00

00:28:06.000 I'm like, I don't need none of this bullshit, man. 1.00

00:28:07.000 Like men are simple, bro. 1.00

00:28:08.000 Very simple.

00:28:09.000 We do everything for a woman, man.

00:28:11.000 You think I got a nice car for you? 0.99

00:28:13.000 I don't give a fuck about you getting in my car. 0.97

00:28:15.000 You think I got a nice apartment to invite you over to? 0.99

00:28:17.000 No.

00:28:17.000 Everything we do is for the women.

00:28:20.000 And we, especially men that work hard and like successful, we ain't doing it for just one woman.

00:28:25.000 Facts.

00:28:26.000 That's big facts.

00:28:27.000 I agree, man.

00:28:27.000 I mean, every guy that I've ever seen that tries to sit there and virtue signal.

00:28:31.000 Beyonce got cheated on.

00:28:32.000 So who are you?

00:28:33.000 Yeah.

00:28:34.000 Who are you?

00:28:37.000 Beyonce, the lady you look up to, got cheated on.

00:28:41.000 Your idol got cheated on.

00:28:44.000 What did she do? 0.80

00:28:46.000 Everybody to the left. 1.00

00:28:49.000 She stayed her ass where she was at, bro. 0.99

00:28:51.000 She realized Jay-Z is the one that's actually irreplaceable. 0.99

00:28:59.000 Chris, let me know if we got rants or anything like that.

00:29:03.000 In the spirit of Money Monday, let's say someone in the audience wants to be a comedian.

00:29:09.000 How do they get started on this path to be a comedian?

00:29:11.000 Good question, Fresh. 0.96

00:29:12.000 Fortunately for the new era, man, they got it so fucking easy.

00:29:16.000 You just go and do some skits on IG, build your audience, or TikTok.

00:29:22.000 Even TikTok's even better.

00:29:24.000 Go build your audience on there and entertain them.

00:29:27.000 Build like two, three million followers and all of a sudden now you're a comedian.

00:29:31.000 It's not like my era.

00:29:32.000 My era, we had social media.

00:29:34.000 It's tough. 0.99

00:29:35.000 We had to go to open mic night and make a bunch of strange motherfuckers laugh. 1.00

00:29:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:29:38.000 A hundred people laugh. 0.99

00:29:39.000 You know, and you have to go every week and every week and then hopefully you got yourself on BET Comic View I remember that show.

00:29:47.000 And then, boom, you go from like $100 a show, now you're on TV, now you're going to make $500 a show.

00:29:52.000 Now you're going to get in a movie, now you're going to make $2,500 a show.

00:29:55.000 Now you're going to start a movie, now you're going to make $20,000 a show.

00:29:59.000 We had to take them steps.

00:30:01.000 Nowadays, social media, man.

00:30:03.000 It's so much easier now.

00:30:05.000 Because you know what?

00:30:05.000 I'm really glad that we brought this up because I've noticed there's a lot of influencers, like comedy influencers.

00:30:09.000 What they do is they don't stand up and do...

00:30:11.000 They don't stand there and do stand-up jokes.

00:30:13.000 What they do is they do funny skits. 0.96

00:30:15.000 With acting and parodies and shit like that. 0.90

00:30:18.000 And... 0.56

00:30:18.000 Those videos get so much views and then people are like, oh, wow, this guy's hilarious, etc. 0.56

00:30:22.000 And it's like with social media, you can almost like build your own brand.

00:30:25.000 But I remember like from what you're talking about, because I remember Comic View, they'd have comedians like kind of battle it out telling jokes and stuff.

00:30:30.000 And that was the only way.

00:30:31.000 If you didn't make it in mainstream television, no one cared or knew you didn't have your own platform.

00:30:35.000 Yeah.

00:30:36.000 They got it easy, which is all good.

00:30:37.000 Social media, definitely.

00:30:39.000 I mean, don't get it wrong.

00:30:40.000 Even though I'm old school and new school, it definitely helped me to where I am today.

00:30:45.000 Making the kind of money I'm making.

00:30:47.000 Because now, social media helped them identify your name, not your name. 0.94

00:30:53.000 At first, I used to be the African nigga from Next Friday. 0.93

00:30:56.000 Now, it's Michael Blackson. 0.97

00:30:59.000 That's Michael Blackson.

00:31:01.000 That's Michael Blackson.

00:31:02.000 Your name is worth money. 1.00

00:31:04.000 Shit, man. 1.00

00:31:05.000 So, yeah. 1.00

00:31:05.000 So, now that you see Michael Blackson doing a show, we'll see Michael Blackson because we know Michael Blackson. 1.00

00:31:09.000 We know he's funny.

00:31:10.000 So, let's say, because there's a lot of people that might be watching this that are like, hey, I got a sense of humor.

00:31:14.000 You know, I want to make money.

00:31:15.000 I want to be a comedian, etc.

00:31:17.000 What would you tell them to do a step-by-step?

00:31:19.000 Would you say, all right, make a social media profile?

00:31:21.000 Should they simultaneously go do open mics and improv classes as well?

00:31:24.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:31:24.000 Go do open mic, go to the comedy clubs, go see a real audience.

00:31:28.000 Because a lot of times, these guys will build their social media fans, do little skits, and then go TikTok, take a stick up.

00:31:33.000 The skits on stage.

00:31:35.000 You gotta go to a real audience.

00:31:37.000 And you gotta do that for like a year.

00:31:40.000 Perfect that first five minutes.

00:31:44.000 Once that five minutes is perfected, then you work another five minutes, make it ten minutes, and then so forth.

00:31:50.000 And the thing about comedy, man, it is great comedy. 0.99

00:31:54.000 Every year, you're going to come up with 15 minutes of good shit. 0.98

00:31:58.000 So you take three good years for you to attempt to headline. 0.99

00:32:01.000 Because the headline, you need 45 minutes on stage.

00:32:04.000 So every year, you come up with a good 15 minutes.

00:32:07.000 So every year, try to get that perfect 15 minutes.

00:32:10.000 And then the following year, work another 15 minutes.

00:32:13.000 It takes for real great comedy.

00:32:16.000 You know who was really in that limelight that I can say follow that pattern?

00:32:20.000 Drewski.

00:32:21.000 He was funny online, on social media.

00:32:23.000 Then he started doing comedy shows.

00:32:24.000 It wasn't that good at the beginning, but he perfected his craft.

00:32:28.000 He's killing it now with those comedy shows.

00:32:29.000 He's still hosting.

00:32:30.000 I'm not sure he's doing a stand-up comedy show yet.

00:32:34.000 I don't know.

00:32:34.000 I know he's hosting a lot of big events and he's doing his thing.

00:32:39.000 He's in a competition where people come and they say...

00:32:41.000 I'm yet to see him go on stage and tell jokes for 45 minutes.

00:32:47.000 Now, guys that are doing that is like That came from social media.

00:32:50.000 Number one guy is DC Young Fly.

00:32:52.000 Shout out to him.

00:32:53.000 You know, you got Desi Banks is doing it as well.

00:32:56.000 Desi.

00:32:56.000 B Simone is doing it.

00:32:58.000 Those are just hilarious.

00:33:00.000 Those are probably the four top ones that went from social media to becoming true comedian headliners.

00:33:07.000 So this is some really good information for anybody that's watching.

00:33:10.000 So first...

00:33:12.000 Work on getting five minute sessions in.

00:33:15.000 Like getting at least five minutes of a good routine and then build yourself up to 15 minutes in the year.

00:33:19.000 And then at some point be able to put that all together and be able to handle a 45 minute show if you're going to headline.

00:33:25.000 Right.

00:33:25.000 And what makes it easier for you to sell tickets by that time?

00:33:30.000 Now you have like four or five million followers.

00:33:34.000 Marketing.

00:33:34.000 Four or five million followers.

00:33:35.000 That's an average of like 10,000 in big major cities.

00:33:40.000 So all you need is about 10% of them to show up to the show.

00:33:44.000 That's 1,000 tickets a weekend.

00:33:45.000 Sold out.

00:33:46.000 1,000 tickets a weekend.

00:33:47.000 Average ticket is 50 bucks.

00:33:49.000 That's $50,000.

00:33:51.000 You're going to at least get...

00:33:53.000 Start you off with these comedy clubs, the Improv, the Funny Bone, the Hillem.

00:33:58.000 Those comedy clubs is where, you know, we make our money.

00:34:00.000 You start from 70 to 85% of the door.

00:34:04.000 So now 7% of $50,000, you're picking up $30,000 a week.

00:34:09.000 You know, and that's how it starts.

00:34:12.000 Mike, you just did that point, the comedy players there.

00:34:15.000 How much you made?

00:34:16.000 I made a lot of money, but I can't talk about it because child support is why I will show you my check.

00:34:21.000 I'll show you my check.

00:34:22.000 I did five shows.

00:34:23.000 I saw about 1,600 people.

00:34:25.000 Nice.

00:34:25.000 You know what I mean?

00:34:25.000 And then I'll show you my check.

00:34:27.000 Because, you know, that just shows you how much potential it is for comedians.

00:34:30.000 Yeah.

00:34:30.000 Okay.

00:34:30.000 You know, but Charleston Boy's watching.

00:34:32.000 I always watching.

00:34:33.000 Y'all niggas aren't going to find out for me. 1.00

00:34:34.000 Mike, I'll let you know.

00:34:35.000 Next time you're in Miami, bro, you better invite us to your show, bro.

00:34:37.000 I'm so sorry, man.

00:34:39.000 That was so lit.

00:34:40.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:34:40.000 That shit was so lit. 1.00

00:34:41.000 Next time I'm in the area, whether it's Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, whatever. 1.00

00:34:44.000 I'll come.

00:34:45.000 How many 45-minute routines should an aspiring comedian have ready to go and memorize?

00:34:52.000 No, no.

00:34:52.000 You just need one.

00:34:53.000 You just need one?

00:34:54.000 Okay.

00:34:55.000 And the thing about it, you could do that once, that same routine for about three years.

00:35:00.000 Okay.

00:35:00.000 All right.

00:35:01.000 Three-year lifespan.

00:35:03.000 Yeah.

00:35:03.000 Three.

00:35:04.000 You could do it.

00:35:05.000 So if you see me today, if you want to see a whole new 45-minute, it's going to take at least three years.

00:35:11.000 Maybe even longer.

00:35:11.000 Depends on how lazy I am.

00:35:13.000 Because every year, I might come up with 15 minutes of new shit and I might replace some of the old shit. 1.00

00:35:19.000 So you're going to get 30 minutes of old shit. 0.99

00:35:21.000 If you come to see Michael Blackson, you might think it's an old shit, but I revamp that old shit and make it sound new. 1.00

00:35:28.000 And then you're going to get 15 more minutes of new shit. 1.00

00:35:31.000 So if you're a big fan of a comedian and you don't want to hear the same shit, See them nigger every three years. 1.00

00:35:36.000 Okay, that makes sense when they release those specials. 0.99

00:35:38.000 If you think about it, like a Chappelle show, they release it every one to three years in that range.

00:35:44.000 Oh, definitely.

00:35:45.000 Three to four years.

00:35:46.000 Chris Rock is one of my favorites. 1.00

00:35:47.000 Chris Rock does them shit every eight years. 1.00

00:35:49.000 Every eight? 1.00

00:35:51.000 Every eight years.

00:35:52.000 That makes sense.

00:35:53.000 No, except for the last one. 0.99

00:35:55.000 He had the Will Smith shit to go off. 0.99

00:35:56.000 Well, yeah, he had to do that right away. 0.99

00:35:58.000 But prior to that, I think he had one like maybe four years prior.

00:36:01.000 It was like a four-year gap.

00:36:02.000 But prior to that, he was doing every eight years.

00:36:05.000 And I think the longer it takes, though, the better.

00:36:07.000 Because now you're like, you know.

00:36:08.000 It's fresh.

00:36:09.000 It's fresh.

00:36:10.000 Let me ask you this, Mike. 0.69

00:36:11.000 How the hell...

00:36:12.000 Obviously, you're talented, so this probably comes easy to you.

00:36:14.000 But for those people out there that kind of want to do this and are a little bit rough around the edges, how do you come up with material?

00:36:19.000 Do you focus on the news?

00:36:20.000 Do you focus on current events?

00:36:22.000 Do you focus on society?

00:36:24.000 It depends what you want to do.

00:36:25.000 You have to pick.

00:36:26.000 Me, I think people like to know what's going on right now.

00:36:30.000 Mons are all over the place. 1.00

00:36:31.000 Mons is... 0.58

00:36:33.000 Personal relationships.

00:36:34.000 Okay.

00:36:35.000 Women always want to hear about relationships. 1.00

00:36:37.000 Because every woman's struggling with a man or a man struggling. 1.00

00:36:41.000 They want to know how shit lasts. 0.99

00:36:43.000 So I got my relationship point of view. 0.99

00:36:47.000 If I got a new woman, the audience is going to know. 1.00

00:36:49.000 I'm going to talk about it.

00:36:50.000 If I got engaged, I'm going to talk about it.

00:36:52.000 And that lasts forever, that type of content.

00:36:53.000 Those jokes, right?

00:36:54.000 Like, your relationship lasts forever.

00:36:56.000 Versus, like, current events.

00:36:57.000 Current events, in and out.

00:36:58.000 But at the same time, you got to show how brilliant you are by making fun of what's going on right now.

00:37:03.000 You know, I have material on Joe Biden falling every week.

00:37:07.000 I have material on Donald Trump. 1.00

00:37:10.000 Having like 36 indictments, 66 misdemeanors, 11 grabbing by the pussy. 1.00

00:37:16.000 He got all these cases and the niggas still running for president. 1.00

00:37:19.000 Are you watching news every day to stay sharp?

00:37:21.000 You're supposed to, but I don't.

00:37:22.000 I'm more on social media.

00:37:23.000 I'll see whatever the hot topics are and not try to make jokes about them. 1.00

00:37:27.000 Even the girl that got missing and then I think she was probably sucking her side niggas dick and then the baby crossed the street. 1.00

00:37:34.000 Oh, the Spanish girl, right? 1.00

00:37:36.000 No, nigga, Carly Russell, the black girl from Alabama that said she got kidnapped. 0.98

00:37:41.000 Remember the girl that said she got kidnapped? 0.99

00:37:42.000 Okay, okay, okay, okay. 1.00

00:37:43.000 What the fuck have you been? 1.00

00:37:44.000 Nigga, there's another girl that was living at somebody's house. 1.00

00:37:47.000 She had a husband the whole time. 0.64

00:37:50.000 No, this girl, you heard about Carly Russell, right?

00:37:52.000 The girl that said she was kidnapped.

00:37:55.000 And now she's in jail. 0.91

00:37:56.000 She gonna get arrested because she lied about it. 1.00

00:37:59.000 She made it all up.

00:38:00.000 Was this like a year ago? 0.95

00:38:02.000 Nigga, no, like a month ago. 1.00

00:38:04.000 Oh, I don't know. 1.00

00:38:05.000 Where the fuck y'all niggas been? 1.00

00:38:06.000 You've been taking steroids, you've been in Jamaica, fucking a bunch of... 1.00

00:38:10.000 I can't remember a girl that got arrested by the FBI for that. 0.99

00:38:14.000 Is it the same girl?

00:38:15.000 No?

00:38:16.000 Okay. 0.67

00:38:16.000 Nah, this girl, Carly Russell, made this fake-ass kidnapping thing. 0.67

00:38:22.000 Where she was missing.

00:38:23.000 And she put this whole story together how she got lured in by a baby that was crossing the highway.

00:38:29.000 Chris, can you pull this up real quick? 1.00

00:38:30.000 Yeah, pull that shit real fast. 1.00

00:38:32.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:38:33.000 I'm not surprised though. 0.99

00:38:34.000 So I keep up with current shit like that. 0.99

00:38:36.000 Gotcha. 1.00

00:38:36.000 And then of course current shit dies after like a month or two. 1.00

00:38:39.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:38:40.000 But current shit happens all the time. 0.99

00:38:42.000 So it's going to be a segment in my show where I'm going to have a current event. 0.99

00:38:45.000 Just to let my audience know like I know what's going on.

00:38:48.000 So when you're like how do you get into like do you sit down and write your material down?

00:38:53.000 Are you like kind of envisioning it in your head?

00:38:55.000 How do you rehearse it?

00:38:56.000 Well yeah I write it down.

00:38:57.000 I write notes.

00:38:57.000 Okay.

00:38:58.000 You know back when I first started I write the whole sentence then but now I just write a topic and I don't know what the topic is about.

00:39:04.000 And then how do you rehearse and practice it because obviously acting it out makes it so makes it really funny.

00:39:09.000 I've been doing comedy so long, and I know what my audience like, that sometimes if I have a joke that I want to try, and I don't have time to go to open mic night, because most comedians will go to open mic.

00:39:21.000 We'll go to a comedy club on night we are off.

00:39:23.000 Like, if I'm in LA, I'll go to the comedy club on a Tuesday night.

00:39:26.000 And I'm a big name, so they'll be like, Michael Blackson's here, and then I'm on stage. 0.99

00:39:30.000 And then I'll go on stage and try some shit out. 0.99

00:39:32.000 Okay. 0.99

00:39:33.000 So you practice at the comedy clubs?

00:39:34.000 At the comedy clubs.

00:39:35.000 Okay.

00:39:35.000 Or I could just tweet it, and see, I could respond to it.

00:39:39.000 That's smart.

00:39:40.000 I tweeted or posted on IG my story.

00:39:43.000 I see a lot of smiley faces. 0.99

00:39:44.000 I'm like, this shit's funny. 0.99

00:39:46.000 Or sometimes I have so much confidence in what I say. 1.00

00:39:49.000 When you become a comedy star where your fans know who you are and love who you are, you almost can't go wrong, you can sneak some shit in there. 0.99

00:39:59.000 This is the chick right here? 1.00

00:40:00.000 That's right there.

00:40:01.000 Okay, no, I didn't hear about this.

00:40:03.000 So she lied about being kidnapped.

00:40:04.000 Yeah, lied about being kidnapped.

00:40:05.000 And then if the FBI found out she lied, now she's got charges. 0.86

00:40:09.000 Yeah, bro.

00:40:10.000 If you lie about getting kidnapped, the FBI will 100% come at you, bro.

00:40:13.000 Of course, because you know how much money you cost them?

00:40:14.000 Yeah, they spend crazy money.

00:40:15.000 Yes.

00:40:16.000 Yeah.

00:40:16.000 This happened to a chick like two years ago.

00:40:18.000 I remember reading a case.

00:40:19.000 Like, if you try to sit there and say, I got kidnapped and they find you, the FBI is 100% going to come and indict you, bro.

00:40:24.000 Well, I mean, it's a great...

00:40:25.000 It should be the same thing.

00:40:26.000 Look at Justice Smollett.

00:40:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:29.000 You know that story, right?

00:40:30.000 Yeah, we know that one.

00:40:31.000 Yeah.

00:40:31.000 But they spend a lot of money because I've done a missing persons case before.

00:40:35.000 Whenever someone goes missing, you need to start doing like emergency phone tolls, emergency phone pings, all this other shit. 0.99

00:40:41.000 That shit's expensive, bro. 0.99

00:40:42.000 It costs them thousands upon thousands of dollars to get kidnapping investigation initiated. 1.00

00:40:48.000 So if they find out you aren't really kidnapped, they're coming after you, bro.

00:40:52.000 Speaking of money, what's the best way to make money as a comedian?

00:40:55.000 Tours, shows, streaming?

00:40:58.000 What's the best way to make money?

00:40:59.000 Specials?

00:41:00.000 I mean, like I said, I'm old school, man.

00:41:01.000 I like to go on stage and make my money.

00:41:03.000 I like to earn my money the right way, the hard way.

00:41:06.000 The most enjoyable way.

00:41:07.000 I love being on stage.

00:41:09.000 But we're just in an era where so many ways of making money.

00:41:13.000 You know, streaming and YouTube.

00:41:15.000 There's so many different networks out there all looking for content.

00:41:19.000 You know, come up with an idea.

00:41:21.000 You're a comedian.

00:41:22.000 You're funny and smart and brilliant.

00:41:24.000 Come up with an idea.

00:41:24.000 Come up with your own show idea.

00:41:26.000 So many networks.

00:41:27.000 It's not like back in the day where we only had like NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CW, UPN, whatever.

00:41:34.000 Man, it's like thousands of different networks and they're all looking for content.

00:41:39.000 I got a question for you, Mike.

00:41:40.000 Yes.

00:41:41.000 How do you continue to stay as a successful comedian in this woke cancel culture that we have?

00:41:47.000 Because obviously you've been in the game for a while.

00:41:49.000 I remember seeing you like I think on Comic View back in the early 2000s.

00:41:52.000 And it's been damn near 20 years and it's changed significantly.

00:41:55.000 I remember when Chappelle was doing a Chappelle show and he was doing all this wild stuff with KKK mass, whatever. 0.95

00:41:59.000 They didn't cancel back then. 0.99

00:42:00.000 But if you try to do that shit now, they're going to cancel you. 1.00

00:42:02.000 How do you adapt to an ever-growing, weak, pussy, woke society? 1.00

00:42:06.000 That's it, bitch! 1.00

00:42:09.000 It's tough, man. 1.00

00:42:10.000 But, you know, you have to learn how to adopt what's going on.

00:42:17.000 What happened back then is what happened back then.

00:42:19.000 Now it's a whole new era.

00:42:21.000 You have to be smart and brilliant how you do your thing, how you tell your joke.

00:42:25.000 You can still make a joke and make fun of certain things, but you have to sit in a certain way.

00:42:29.000 It's just part of the era, man.

00:42:31.000 It is what it is, unfortunately.

00:42:34.000 But don't compromise yourself.

00:42:36.000 Still be yourself. 1.00

00:42:37.000 Don't be no pussy. 1.00

00:42:39.000 I'll never forget the Sticks and Stones Netflix special. 1.00

00:42:42.000 They literally were like, you quit Netflix, and it was a huge backlash in my head.

00:42:47.000 I'm like, bro, this wasn't even that bad.

00:42:49.000 If y'all saw a Chappelle show in 05, it was way worse.

00:42:53.000 There's so many people.

00:42:54.000 I think to myself, if artists like Eminem We're around today.

00:42:58.000 They would never blow.

00:43:00.000 Like, Dave Chappelle, they would have got canceled.

00:43:01.000 Like, we've become so soft and so woke nowadays. 0.93

00:43:04.000 It's ridiculous to me, man. 0.91

00:43:05.000 And so how do you avoid cancel culture?

00:43:07.000 You just, like, kind of finesse certain jokes in a certain way where they can't...

00:43:10.000 I mean, at the end of the day, it has to be...

00:43:12.000 You have to...

00:43:12.000 You have to still speak your mind.

00:43:14.000 You know, um...

00:43:17.000 And I grew up in...

00:43:18.000 I came from Africa where a lot of stuff in Africa and the Middle East is all illegal.

00:43:25.000 Like, being gay is illegal in certain countries in Africa.

00:43:27.000 It's illegal in the Middle East, most countries, you know?

00:43:31.000 But America, being raised in America, America has taught me To accept everybody for who they are.

00:43:38.000 You know?

00:43:39.000 And don't get it wrong.

00:43:41.000 Because sometimes when you are nice and accepting things, people also take advantage of you.

00:43:48.000 I'll explain it to you. 0.96

00:43:49.000 This is some exclusive shit that I've never talked about in an interview before. 0.97

00:43:52.000 Let's do it. 0.98

00:43:53.000 Love some information.

00:43:56.000 The fence!

00:43:57.000 Looking like a dehydrated Rick Ross. 1.00

00:43:59.000 That Rick Ross is a dehydrated DJ Khaled, motherfucker. 1.00

00:44:03.000 DJ Khaled. 1.00

00:44:04.000 DJ Khaled if he fucking was on crack on the game. 0.98

00:44:09.000 But now, so like, so because I'm in an entertainment world, I've learned to accept everybody. 0.99

00:44:16.000 If I have a gay friend or gay person that I know, I treat like a regular dude. 0.98

00:44:21.000 I'm like, hey man, I got some bitches coming over, man. 1.00

00:44:22.000 You want some bitches? 1.00

00:44:23.000 I'm not even gonna look at you as gay. 1.00

00:44:26.000 You still to me, I still kiss my nigga. 1.00

00:44:29.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:44:29.000 I'm like, hey, I got some bitches coming over. 1.00

00:44:30.000 You do whatever you want to do. 0.99

00:44:33.000 Right?

00:44:33.000 And I'm nice to everybody.

00:44:35.000 Yeah.

00:44:35.000 Because especially being in Hollywood, you don't know who's who.

00:44:38.000 You have to be.

00:44:39.000 You never know.

00:44:40.000 Americans have taught me to accept people and be open about different things.

00:44:45.000 I've learned that being in America.

00:44:47.000 Right.

00:44:47.000 But, you know, sometimes people, when you're nice, people try to, like, think you want...

00:44:53.000 Make a little story short.

00:44:54.000 It was this one...

00:44:57.000 This is my second time I've been living in LA. First time I lived in LA was back in 2005.

00:45:02.000 It was four years after the movie Next Friday came out.

00:45:06.000 When Next Friday came out, that was my big break.

00:45:09.000 I became an instant hood star.

00:45:12.000 You know, I was living in Philly.

00:45:13.000 I started touring the whole country, go and pick up a little $2,500, because that's what happened in my first movie.

00:45:19.000 I went from $500 a show to $2,500.

00:45:22.000 So I'm touring everywhere.

00:45:23.000 I'm going everywhere, different clubs, different places, everybody.

00:45:26.000 I'm hot!

00:45:27.000 Right?

00:45:28.000 And I rode that wave to like 2005, 2004.

00:45:32.000 I rode that wave and I'm like, okay, now let me go find the next thing.

00:45:35.000 Let me go find myself to another movie or something.

00:45:37.000 Right.

00:45:37.000 So I'm all coming to L.A. When I came to L.A., that's when my girl, my homegirl, Eve.

00:45:43.000 Eve?

00:45:43.000 No Eve?

00:45:44.000 The rapper Eve from Philly.

00:45:46.000 Oh, from Rough Riders.

00:45:47.000 Yes. 1.00

00:45:47.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:45:48.000 Eve had a TV show, right? 1.00

00:45:50.000 She had the Eve show.

00:45:52.000 Man, are you really showing your age now, bro?

00:45:53.000 Yes. 1.00

00:45:54.000 Goddamn. 1.00

00:45:55.000 What do you mean? 0.99

00:45:56.000 It was on UPN, if I'm not mistaken.

00:45:58.000 She had a TV show or sitcom, and I used to go on set and hang out, you know, because she was from Philly.

00:46:03.000 I was from Philly.

00:46:04.000 Everybody from Philly that was in Hollywood would go hang out on set just to watch Eve.

00:46:08.000 Okay.

00:46:09.000 Hoping maybe one day she'll be like, hey, Mike, get Mike a cameo or whatever.

00:46:12.000 You know, it never happened.

00:46:13.000 They didn't care.

00:46:14.000 We just want to hang out.

00:46:15.000 Was happy for our Philly homegirl having her own TV show.

00:46:18.000 And I'm not sure if I was a stylist.

00:46:21.000 He was a stylist on the show. 0.94

00:46:22.000 Was a real gay guy. 0.98

00:46:23.000 Obviously gay guy.

00:46:25.000 You know what I mean? 0.88

00:46:26.000 Some people are undercover. 0.91

00:46:27.000 This nigga is just straight. 1.00

00:46:29.000 We know you gay. 1.00

00:46:31.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

00:46:32.000 Yeah.

00:46:34.000 But I accepted for who he is, you know, because I've learned that in America.

00:46:39.000 I accepted him.

00:46:39.000 I looked at some of the buddies, homies, you know, and I speak to him like, hey, what's up?

00:46:43.000 Everything's good?

00:46:44.000 Good.

00:46:44.000 Everything's great.

00:46:45.000 So I remember, well, fast forward to like 2013 when I moved back to L.A., Finally, I'm doing my own show.

00:46:51.000 I'm doing a reality sitcom called Living With Funny.

00:46:54.000 It had me, it had D. Ray Davies, it had a couple other comedians and their girlfriend and kids and all of that stuff.

00:47:00.000 And I'm going to run into him.

00:47:01.000 I'm like, hey, I have a TV show, man.

00:47:03.000 So if you want to bring some clothes over, you know, some clothes, because he was able to get hooked on some clothes.

00:47:09.000 So I'm like, bring the clothes over, we'll put on a show, and I'll shut them out, whatever.

00:47:13.000 Still looked at this dude like, you know what I mean?

00:47:16.000 You still, I know you gay, and you still cool with me.

00:47:18.000 I'm cool with everybody. 0.95

00:47:20.000 Right.

00:47:21.000 Right? 0.99

00:47:23.000 And so, damn, so that's 2013. 0.97

00:47:26.000 And then I ran into him again, like 20, before pandemic, 2019, maybe, at some event. 0.98

00:47:33.000 Mona Scott had this event.

00:47:35.000 Mona Scott is like a big on reality. 0.99

00:47:36.000 She does produce reality shows. 0.89

00:47:38.000 She had this big fashion show.

00:47:41.000 And then I ran to him again.

00:47:43.000 But this time he was with this badass chick, right? 1.00

00:47:45.000 Because gay guys always hang out with the bad bitches. 1.00

00:47:47.000 They do. 1.00

00:47:48.000 They do.

00:47:49.000 He was this badass chick.

00:47:51.000 I'm like, yo, dawg, what's up with that chick? 1.00

00:47:53.000 He said, oh, don't worry, man.

00:47:54.000 I got you, Mike.

00:47:55.000 I'm like, oh, you're cool.

00:47:57.000 Right?

00:48:14.000 Aww.

00:48:15.000 I'm like, I'm like, I'm about to say I'm sorry, I'm not into it.

00:48:19.000 I was like, I'm not into that.

00:48:21.000 You know what I mean?

00:48:21.000 You know, you might look at you as a homie.

00:48:23.000 You know what I mean?

00:48:24.000 Like, I'm not, I'm not.

00:48:25.000 He said, Mike.

00:48:25.000 Holly weird.

00:48:26.000 He said, Mike, man, come on.

00:48:28.000 He said, I could name you a bunch of names.

00:48:30.000 A lot of guys are into this.

00:48:32.000 You know what I mean?

00:48:33.000 It's okay.

00:48:34.000 Nobody's going to know about this. 0.98

00:48:35.000 I'm like, well, no, I know, nigga. 1.00

00:48:40.000 That's not my, I don't know, nigga. 1.00

00:48:42.000 I just, I mean, because my thing is, I would never be mean to anybody, especially not a gay person. 0.96

00:48:49.000 Yeah.

00:48:49.000 You know, you get mean and then all of a sudden now they talking about you and a person can say anything about you.

00:48:54.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:48:55.000 You know, hey, by the way, I suck Michael Black's dick. 1.00

00:48:57.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:48:57.000 Who knows? 1.00

00:48:58.000 I don't know what it is.

00:48:59.000 I'm always nice to everybody.

00:49:01.000 Yeah.

00:49:01.000 So I'm like, since the guy's still present, hey, man, come on, man.

00:49:05.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:06.000 Nobody gonna know...

00:49:07.000 A whole bunch of...

00:49:08.000 All your homies are all into this stuff.

00:49:10.000 I'm like, well, I'm not, man.

00:49:11.000 I just respect you for who you are and I accept who you are.

00:49:14.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:15.000 I said, stop talking like this.

00:49:16.000 I'm gonna block you.

00:49:17.000 That's what I told him.

00:49:19.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:19.000 And I felt...

00:49:21.000 I didn't talk to him anymore.

00:49:22.000 I felt so violated.

00:49:24.000 Is it because I'm...

00:49:25.000 Should I be mean?

00:49:27.000 Because I'm nice, you try to take advantage of that.

00:49:30.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:31.000 So... 0.98

00:49:32.000 That whole Me Too shit goes either way. 1.00

00:49:34.000 This is exclusive shit. 0.99

00:49:35.000 It's the first time I've ever talked about this. 1.00

00:49:37.000 And this shit happened when I bought my crib in LA in 2018. 0.98

00:49:42.000 It happened like four years ago. 1.00

00:49:44.000 Damn. 0.99

00:49:44.000 The first time I'm talking about it. 0.99

00:49:46.000 Let me ask you this.

00:49:47.000 Talk to me.

00:49:47.000 Transitioning over from...

00:49:48.000 We were talking about cancel culture earlier.

00:49:51.000 Neo is kind of going through it right now with the Alphabet community.

00:49:56.000 What are your thoughts on that, man?

00:49:57.000 Having people apologize and all this other stuff.

00:50:01.000 He made some comments and then everyone started freaking out and backlash.

00:50:04.000 I listened to his comment.

00:50:06.000 At the end of the day, there's America.

00:50:09.000 Freedom of speech.

00:50:10.000 You're entitled to feeling whatever you want to feel.

00:50:13.000 If that's how the guy is feeling, isn't that what America is all about?

00:50:17.000 Why can't a guy feel the way he's feel?

00:50:19.000 Why can't he talk about how he feels?

00:50:21.000 It's just freedom of speech.

00:50:23.000 That's what I came to America for. 1.00

00:50:25.000 If I want my speech to be taken away, I'll move to your country, motherfucker. 1.00

00:50:30.000 Yeah, there's no free speech in Sudan. 1.00

00:50:32.000 I'm in America.

00:50:34.000 Put the freedom of speech, you know?

00:50:36.000 And it is what it is, man.

00:50:38.000 I don't mean...

00:50:39.000 What are your thoughts on...

00:50:41.000 Because it never fails.

00:50:45.000 This is the game plan.

00:50:46.000 Celebrity or someone that has some influence says something, right?

00:50:49.000 A community gets offended.

00:50:51.000 Outrage.

00:50:52.000 Backlash.

00:50:52.000 You better apologize.

00:50:53.000 And then they bend the knee and apologize.

00:50:55.000 And it's not like it ends.

00:50:56.000 They continue to go after them.

00:50:58.000 We got Neil, Jamie Foxx.

00:51:00.000 Jamie Foxx just went down the same thing recently, right?

00:51:02.000 What did Jamie Foxx do?

00:51:04.000 He made a story post saying...

00:51:07.000 I'm paraphrasing, by the way.

00:51:09.000 He said, people are fake.

00:51:11.000 Look what they did to Jesus.

00:51:12.000 And they assumed that he meant And I was like, bro, like, he just made a comment about people being snakes.

00:51:17.000 Them boys.

00:51:18.000 You know what I mean?

00:51:19.000 Yeah, and the thing about it, I know Jamie Foxx.

00:51:21.000 Yeah, he's cool.

00:51:23.000 There is no way Jamie Foxx.

00:51:25.000 Jamie Foxx is the most peaceful person on earth.

00:51:27.000 This guy loves everybody.

00:51:29.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:51:30.000 He's fucked a white woman, fucked a black woman. 1.00

00:51:32.000 He's done it all. 1.00

00:51:33.000 He said they and they took it a certain way, which is crazy.

00:51:35.000 Who called them all?

00:51:36.000 Jennifer Aniston. 0.96

00:51:38.000 Crazy. 1.00

00:51:38.000 It's always some old bitch, man. 1.00

00:51:40.000 Every single time, bro. 1.00

00:51:41.000 It's always some old chick that's way past her prime that no one cares about that's got a fucking virtue signal. 1.00

00:51:46.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:51:46.000 Every time. 0.99

00:51:47.000 Pretty much.

00:51:48.000 Right? 0.98

00:51:48.000 He didn't say shit about, you know, them boys. 0.98

00:51:49.000 You would never get a job in Hollywood. 0.99

00:51:51.000 I wouldn't.

00:51:52.000 Nah, I probably would, man. 1.00

00:51:53.000 If you did, you'd be a genitor, motherfucker. 1.00

00:51:56.000 You only get 10% too, man. 1.00

00:52:01.000 That's what I'd be saying like that, man.

00:52:02.000 I'd be canceled.

00:52:05.000 Let's be honest.

00:52:06.000 What I'm about to say does not reflect the opinions of anyone at the table. 0.99

00:52:10.000 Who says the fuck what an old man got to say? 1.00

00:52:13.000 Honestly. 0.99

00:52:14.000 Like, I genuinely think women should have 50% of the vote. 0.98

00:52:17.000 I'm not with this nigga. 1.00

00:52:20.000 Hold on, hold on. 0.98

00:52:21.000 Hear me out, hear me out.

00:52:22.000 Again, this does not represent Michael Blackson or Fresh, okay?

00:52:24.000 This is just my opinion here.

00:52:26.000 I think a woman's vote should be 50% of a man's. 1.00

00:52:28.000 And then I think if a chick reaches a certain age, who cares? 1.00

00:52:31.000 Is my Uber here yet? 0.99

00:52:34.000 Like, who gives a fuck what she thinks? 1.00

00:52:37.000 That's like an 18-year-old nigga. 1.00

00:52:38.000 Nobody cares what an 18-year-old gotta say for a dude. 1.00

00:52:40.000 So we don't give a fuck what an old woman gotta say, bro. 1.00

00:52:42.000 You're past your prime, man. 1.00

00:52:44.000 Niggas haven't watched Friends in two decades. 1.00

00:52:44.000 Get out of here, bro. 1.00

00:52:46.000 Fuck out of here. 1.00

00:52:47.000 You kind of got a point. 1.00

00:52:47.000 I like older women. 1.00

00:52:48.000 Come on, man. 0.59

00:52:49.000 She old as hell, man. 1.00

00:52:50.000 Trying to take down Jamie Foxx, bro.

00:52:52.000 He wasn't even talking about those people.

00:52:54.000 He was using an analogy.

00:52:55.000 And she immediately, oh, dude, that's anti-Semitic. 1.00

00:52:57.000 It's like, bro, he wasn't even referring to that shit. 1.00

00:52:59.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:52:59.000 Whatever, man. 1.00

00:53:00.000 It's sad, man. 1.00

00:53:01.000 It's always old bitches, bro. 1.00

00:53:02.000 They got a virtual signal, man. 1.00

00:53:03.000 Hollywood.

00:53:04.000 Every time.

00:53:05.000 But, yeah, sorry.

00:53:06.000 So, Mike, I came to your show.

00:53:08.000 I got to get out of here.

00:53:10.000 Let's change girls real quick. 1.00

00:53:11.000 No, I love you.

00:53:12.000 I love you guys.

00:53:14.000 So, I came to your show, like, two years ago.

00:53:17.000 You went to Danny Point as well.

00:53:18.000 And people's reactions in the audience were hilarious.

00:53:21.000 Some people were crying.

00:53:22.000 Some people were laughing their ass off.

00:53:23.000 A whole bunch of reactions.

00:53:26.000 What's the most insane reaction you ever got from someone in the audience?

00:53:29.000 Most insane reaction?

00:53:30.000 Yeah, from someone in the audience.

00:53:31.000 Like, bad or good?

00:53:33.000 Either or.

00:53:33.000 What you mean?

00:53:34.000 Bad, good?

00:53:35.000 I mean, good is like a standing ovation from your audience. 0.92

00:53:35.000 Crazy? 0.92

00:53:39.000 I do a lot of roasting.

00:53:41.000 I remember. 1.00

00:53:42.000 I roast motherfuckers. 1.00

00:53:44.000 Literally and figuratively. 1.00

00:53:45.000 Because you're pretty roasted yourself.

00:53:49.000 Looks like you've been in a few barbecues yourself, my friend. 1.00

00:53:52.000 Fuck you, punk bitch. 1.00

00:53:53.000 Fix the gap, nigga. 1.00

00:53:55.000 Nah, I use this for... 0.99

00:53:57.000 I put all the clitoris between this gap. 1.00

00:54:02.000 I try to close my gap. 0.96

00:54:04.000 He's like, don't close it. 0.98

00:54:04.000 It's for clitoris. 0.98

00:54:08.000 There's a lot of coochie stuck in this gap. 1.00

00:54:10.000 Ew! 0.98

00:54:11.000 You like game box, bro?

00:54:14.000 No, it's very rare that I've found this.

00:54:18.000 I haven't done it since 2013. 1.00

00:54:20.000 I'm not a big boss guy, but your pussy has to look almost perfect. 1.00

00:54:27.000 I'm very picky of what I eat. 1.00

00:54:30.000 It can't be a raisin.

00:54:31.000 It's got to be a grapefruit.

00:54:33.000 No, not a raisin.

00:54:34.000 It has to look perfect.

00:54:35.000 You can't just eat any food.

00:54:36.000 You're not going to eat food that's uncooked.

00:54:38.000 It's got to look edible.

00:54:40.000 Every woman is not edible. 1.00

00:54:41.000 Well done.

00:54:43.000 If the coochie look right, smell right, and taste right, I would eat it.

00:54:48.000 Okay. 1.00

00:54:49.000 What did you ask me, motherfucker? 1.00

00:54:51.000 So the reaction. 0.99

00:54:52.000 I remember when I first started comedy, early in my career, mid-90s somewhere, I remember I was in Philly, another rough city, on stage, and back then, Dennis Rodman was one of the hot comedians.

00:55:06.000 I mean, hot athletes.

00:55:08.000 And you know, he had the blonde hair, So I remember I saw this one girl in the audience. 0.63

00:55:12.000 This is late 90s?

00:55:13.000 90s.

00:55:14.000 Yeah.

00:55:14.000 I remember I seen this one girl in the audience and she had like a blonde streak like Dennis Rodman and I called her Denise Rodman.

00:55:23.000 She got mad and poured her drink at me. 1.00

00:55:25.000 Oh, shit! 1.00

00:55:26.000 That was it. 1.00

00:55:26.000 That's the only thing I remember. 1.00

00:55:27.000 And to think about it, that was the first time I've ever had a reaction.

00:55:30.000 I said, I didn't know what to do.

00:55:31.000 I said, okay, I think this is the end of the show. 1.00

00:55:33.000 Good night, motherfuckers. 1.00

00:55:34.000 Wow. 1.00

00:55:35.000 That was probably the roughest thing.

00:55:38.000 Okay.

00:55:39.000 Go ahead.

00:55:40.000 Yeah, so, Mike, I don't mean to say this in public, but I love watching your videos, bro.

00:55:46.000 I stalk your page all the time.

00:55:47.000 And I've seen a BET. You have your own TV show.

00:55:51.000 It is going crazy.

00:55:53.000 I saw a clip.

00:55:54.000 I saw the show.

00:55:55.000 I was like, how is this on TV? It is insane.

00:56:17.000 Man, when I saw this, I was dying laughing, bro.

00:56:18.000 I was like, this cannot be on TV. It's amazing.

00:56:24.000 Murasaka.

00:56:27.000 Okay, here we go.

00:56:31.000 Mobudo looking?

00:56:31.000 Black...

00:56:33.000 What the fuck happened to your teeth? 1.00

00:56:35.000 Are you born on Easter or your mother fucked a rabbit? 1.00

00:56:38.000 If you ever took a bite out of crime, the crime rate in Chicago would go down. 1.00

00:56:43.000 Don't you ever bite the hands that feed you?

00:56:46.000 Because your mother won't have no arms.

00:56:51.000 Yo, Mr. 1.00

00:56:52.000 B, that's fucked up. 1.00

00:56:53.000 You pink-lit polka dot motherfucker. 1.00

00:56:56.000 What's fucked up is your forehead. 1.00

00:56:59.000 Are you ahead of the class or you're heading this way? 0.99

00:57:02.000 Let me guess. 1.00

00:57:02.000 Every time you tie your shoes, you flip over, you big-headed bastard. 1.00

00:57:09.000 Fuck you. 1.00

00:57:10.000 Yo, yo, teach. 1.00

00:57:11.000 Who are you talking to?

00:57:12.000 I'm talking to you.

00:57:13.000 Are you slow?

00:57:16.000 Is this a slow class?

00:57:18.000 Wait.

00:57:18.000 We in a slow class?

00:57:21.000 Of course you're in a slow class.

00:57:23.000 You put your slow people in the same room. 0.93

00:57:26.000 You're all very slow.

00:57:28.000 There's one short yellow bus. 1.00

00:57:29.000 You black... 1.00

00:57:31.000 So Mike, who the hell gave me this show? 1.00

00:57:34.000 How did this come about?

00:57:36.000 Because I know you guys are on strike notes.

00:57:37.000 You can't say too much.

00:57:38.000 I got to support my fellow actors and writers.

00:57:41.000 We're just fighting for what's rightfully ours.

00:57:44.000 Can you explain the strike that's going down?

00:57:46.000 You know what?

00:57:47.000 To the best of my knowledge.

00:57:50.000 I don't know much about it because I'm more in a comedy where I stand up.

00:57:53.000 I make 90% of my money going on stage, telling jokes, and making money.

00:57:58.000 Right.

00:57:58.000 Unlike actors who, that's their whole life.

00:58:01.000 Yeah.

00:58:01.000 You know?

00:58:02.000 As far as I know, we are fighting for a very small amount.

00:58:06.000 And it has to do with streaming.

00:58:08.000 You know?

00:58:09.000 Nowadays, everything is streaming.

00:58:11.000 Netflix, Hulu.

00:58:12.000 All of those.

00:58:13.000 And we just ask for a very small percentage of some of that money.

00:58:16.000 Not just a one check.

00:58:18.000 Right.

00:58:20.000 From being out there, yeah.

00:58:21.000 Very small amount.

00:58:22.000 So, you know, hopefully they will figure it out and give us what is rightfully ours.

00:58:27.000 At the end of the day, if you're coming to see the Michael Blackson show, who are you coming to see?

00:58:31.000 Michael Blackson.

00:58:32.000 Exactly.

00:58:32.000 Pick Michael Blackson.

00:58:34.000 It's just that simple.

00:58:35.000 So, hopefully we'll be all get together.

00:58:38.000 But I gotta give a shout out to one of my idols, Tyler Perry.

00:58:42.000 Right.

00:58:43.000 You know, as a comedian from the 90s, When you start a comedy, your goal was to be good enough to get a TV show.

00:58:52.000 You know, some people got it.

00:58:53.000 And every show, you could tell, Steve Harvey show, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx show.

00:59:00.000 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

00:59:01.000 Well, he was not a comedian.

00:59:03.000 I'm just naming comedians.

00:59:04.000 Okay.

00:59:04.000 They got their show.

00:59:06.000 And most of the time their show was named after them.

00:59:07.000 It's after their name because they built up their name.

00:59:10.000 Their name became the show.

00:59:12.000 You know, and Tyler Perry saw something in me.

00:59:15.000 You know, Martin.

00:59:17.000 Tyler Perry saw something in me and gave me my own show.

00:59:20.000 So I gotta give him, you know, he believed in me.

00:59:25.000 Like I said, I can't talk much about it.

00:59:27.000 You know, if you want to find it, go find it wherever you can find it at.

00:59:30.000 Is this exclusive, if you can answer, is this exclusive with like Netflix celebrities?

00:59:34.000 Because now it's like, there's like different worlds of actors now or celebrities.

00:59:38.000 You got like comedians and you got YouTubers.

00:59:40.000 Then you got actors that are like, you know, in traditional movie roles and the big screen.

00:59:43.000 Then you got actors that are Netflix actors.

00:59:45.000 Whoever is a SAG. Whoever is SAG or AFTR. That's the union.

00:59:48.000 What's a SAG? SAG, well, whenever you make over a certain amount of money or year doing...

00:59:54.000 Television, you become a SAG member.

00:59:58.000 What's that stand for?

00:59:59.000 Screen Actors Guild.

01:00:02.000 Okay.

01:00:02.000 So whether it's Netflix or the big screen...

01:00:04.000 It doesn't matter.

01:00:05.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

01:00:05.000 It doesn't matter.

01:00:06.000 We are SAG members.

01:00:08.000 Okay.

01:00:08.000 SAG and Africa.

01:00:09.000 So that's what it is.

01:00:10.000 I didn't know that.

01:00:11.000 Okay.

01:00:11.000 So basically, it's a union that's basically fighting for royalties from Netflix, which I mean, right for me so.

01:00:16.000 We're not necessarily just streaming, period.

01:00:17.000 I think it's...

01:00:18.000 All streaming platforms?

01:00:19.000 To be fair, just Yeah.

01:00:21.000 Like musicians, well, they don't sell their masters and all that.

01:00:24.000 They get their royalties.

01:00:25.000 I mean, I think actors should get the same thing.

01:00:27.000 Because they're going to make money on that for decades.

01:00:29.000 If I go to watch a show, I'm going for the actors in the movie.

01:00:32.000 Not for the producers.

01:00:33.000 Who goes for the director?

01:00:34.000 Who goes for the...

01:00:36.000 Exactly.

01:00:36.000 I forget who it was.

01:00:38.000 I think it was Jack Nicholson in the first Batman.

01:00:40.000 They offered him like 80 or 90 million back then in the 90s for that first Batman movie.

01:00:46.000 And he said, no, I don't want the upfront payment.

01:00:48.000 I want royalties.

01:00:49.000 And he ended up making way more money on getting the royalties and negotiated where he took a little bit less upfront.

01:00:54.000 But he made way more money over the long period of time through royalty.

01:00:57.000 So I think that's the smart play, man, when it comes to whether it's lump sums.

01:01:02.000 Because they're just trying to give a lump sum versus giving them royalties, right?

01:01:04.000 Exactly.

01:01:05.000 Listen, all I know is, if Michael Blackson's in the show, I'm watching it.

01:01:08.000 That's all I know.

01:01:09.000 I appreciate the support.

01:01:11.000 The support I've gotten from, especially America, Black America, from the day they embraced me since day one, since I got on Comic View in 1995, or whatever year that was.

01:01:21.000 I've been brazed and they followed me till now.

01:01:25.000 And don't get it wrong, I did put in some work and found a way to keep my set relevant.

01:01:29.000 That's the most important thing about being an entertainer.

01:01:31.000 You have to keep your set relevant.

01:01:34.000 Question for you.

01:01:35.000 You gave people a really good blueprint on how to get their foot in the door with comedy.

01:01:40.000 I don't think we've ever talked about that to this detail about how to become a comedian and make money doing it.

01:01:44.000 What if someone wants to become an actor?

01:01:45.000 You know, everybody knows the telltale sign, you know, old story.

01:01:49.000 I'm gonna go to LA. I'm gonna, you know, wait tables and become an actor and pursue the dream.

01:01:52.000 What do you think is now that you've been there, you've lived there, you know what it's like, what would you tell someone that wants to go ahead and pursue that dream of acting?

01:02:01.000 You know, start in your local city.

01:02:03.000 Every city has some kind of acting classes.

01:02:06.000 Take acting classes.

01:02:06.000 Okay.

01:02:08.000 Whenever you go to acting classes, there are always some kind of auditions going on.

01:02:11.000 They always let you know about what's going on in the city.

01:02:14.000 Whether it's audition, auditioning to be a commercial or something.

01:02:18.000 What cities would you say are always doing this?

01:02:21.000 Well, eventually you might want to move to a bigger city nearby. 1.00

01:02:25.000 If you're in Oklahoma City, get the fuck out there, bitch. 1.00

01:02:28.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

01:02:29.000 If you're in Oklahoma City, maybe go to Houston.

01:02:31.000 Okay.

01:02:32.000 That's close enough.

01:02:32.000 If you're in Charlotte, North Carolina, maybe come to Atlanta.

01:02:36.000 Gotcha.

01:02:36.000 If you're in Oakland, California, maybe come to LA. Okay.

01:02:39.000 So like a first year major city, a New York City, a Miami, a Houston, a Dallas, a Chicago.

01:02:45.000 Yeah, Chicago.

01:02:46.000 But take some acting classes, you know, go audition as often as possible because audition is always good for you because it makes you better.

01:02:46.000 You know?

01:02:54.000 Whether you get the part or not, go and audition.

01:02:57.000 No matter the role, always audition?

01:02:59.000 Always audition.

01:02:59.000 Okay.

01:03:00.000 Just for the experience of it.

01:03:01.000 Okay.

01:03:02.000 Because, you know, but classes are very important.

01:03:05.000 Take some acting classes and then find out what's going on because a lot of times acting teachers will have information on what's going on in the local areas of auditions of different things.

01:03:15.000 Is it expensive to take acting classes?

01:03:18.000 It's not that bad.

01:03:19.000 It's not like going to a film school or something.

01:03:23.000 Acting classes, a lot of time, is ran by actors that just...

01:03:28.000 Either they are done You know, their career is pretty much over, but they have their respect in the acting world.

01:03:35.000 Or just great actors that never made it.

01:03:38.000 They end up becoming coaches.

01:03:39.000 Gotcha.

01:03:40.000 Acting coach.

01:03:41.000 You know, so you can take an acting coach.

01:03:42.000 A lot of times, you go to a certain college, some college will have an acting class.

01:03:46.000 You know, a lot of colleges.

01:03:48.000 In fact, one of my guys I used to work with, in fact, he was the guy that got me to go on the open mic night.

01:03:53.000 He was an acting teacher at the Philadelphia Community College, and he worked at Domino's Pizza as a side job to make tips.

01:04:01.000 And he thought I was funny.

01:04:02.000 He said, hey, Mike, you funny.

01:04:03.000 Go to open mic.

01:04:04.000 And he'd been an acting coach.

01:04:05.000 He helped me write my first five minutes of material.

01:04:08.000 And that's how I started.

01:04:10.000 Where's he now?

01:04:11.000 Kevin London. 0.83

01:04:12.000 I'm not sure what the nigga is doing. 1.00

01:04:14.000 But he's probably, you know, he's still probably teaching. 0.89

01:04:17.000 He's an acting teacher in a college.

01:04:19.000 So that's what he was doing.

01:04:20.000 At what point should someone even contemplate moving to Los Angeles?

01:04:25.000 What should they have in place before they do that?

01:04:27.000 Man, you gotta have it together.

01:04:29.000 Okay.

01:04:29.000 LA is probably...

01:04:31.000 And just as many as people that fly to LA every day to become stars, there's the same amount of people fly out of LA every day.

01:04:38.000 Yeah. 0.84

01:04:39.000 Or you're gonna end up being some porn star. 0.99

01:04:42.000 It happens a lot. 1.00

01:04:43.000 Damn. 0.99

01:04:44.000 It ain't easy. 0.99

01:04:45.000 A lot of times, it's the ladies. 1.00

01:04:48.000 Ladies who think she's the baddest bitch in Oklahoma. 1.00

01:04:50.000 I look good. 1.00

01:04:51.000 I'm acting bad.

01:04:52.000 But when you come to LA, you go from a dime to a high five.

01:04:56.000 I think it's a three.

01:04:58.000 Or Miami.

01:04:59.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:05:00.000 So you never...

01:05:01.000 LA will make you really...

01:05:02.000 LA will really tell you who you really are or what you are.

01:05:06.000 It ain't easy.

01:05:07.000 It's not like back...

01:05:08.000 Things have changed.

01:05:09.000 It's not like it was back in...

01:05:12.000 In 2000, when you're a great actor, you come to LA. Now it's like, Hollywood has changed.

01:05:17.000 It's like, how many followers do you have?

01:05:20.000 Because now it's so many different platforms. 1.00

01:05:22.000 They want to make sure if they give you a show, you have an audience to watch their motherfuckers. 1.00

01:05:28.000 It's a requirement that you have a social media following now. 0.99

01:05:31.000 You become the marketer.

01:05:33.000 Exactly.

01:05:33.000 They were somebody who did marketing.

01:05:35.000 Trust me, it helps your career.

01:05:37.000 Don't get it wrong.

01:05:38.000 If you're great at acting and you go and you kill an audition, you could make it.

01:05:43.000 You have a better chance of making it if you had a million followers.

01:05:46.000 So you can be an okay actor but have a huge following versus having no following but a great actor.

01:05:51.000 The guy that has a huge following is more than likely going to get the role.

01:05:55.000 Powerful.

01:05:56.000 Social media.

01:05:57.000 We were talking about this a little bit before the show and I kind of want to get your take on this.

01:06:01.000 Do you see the death of legacy media coming soon?

01:06:04.000 Because people are going to alternative news nowadays.

01:06:07.000 People aren't watching movies as much as they used to.

01:06:10.000 They're streaming more.

01:06:11.000 Do you think that regular television, the movie industry, etc., has taken a nosedive at this point?

01:06:16.000 It was, but I think it's coming back for some reason.

01:06:21.000 For some reason, I just feel like we are going back to watching We're going back to the movies now.

01:06:27.000 I mean, during the pandemic, for three years, we're going to go to the movies.

01:06:30.000 So if we're going back to the movies, I think we're going to probably eventually end up going back to watching TV once they start making TV more interesting. 0.97

01:06:38.000 I mean, social media has spoiled us with all kinds of crazy shit we've seen. 0.97

01:06:43.000 So now why am I going to watch somebody getting shot in the head right on social media? 0.99

01:06:43.000 Facts. 0.99

01:06:47.000 Now you're going to go on TV and sugarcoat it.

01:06:49.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:06:50.000 So TV has to go to a whole different level to make them watch.

01:06:53.000 And I think that's probably what helped the show that I got.

01:06:57.000 You know, the show that a guy is like, I'm a teacher that's cussing.

01:07:00.000 You're not going to see that. 1.00

01:07:02.000 If I'm going to watch TV, I got to see some crazy shit. 0.99

01:07:04.000 That's back how it used to be. 0.99

01:07:06.000 Back in the old days.

01:07:07.000 What?

01:07:07.000 TV. Just say whatever, be whatever.

01:07:10.000 Well, I mean, no, TV has always been, like, clean.

01:07:13.000 TV has been clean, but, like, now things are getting...

01:07:16.000 Social media has...

01:07:17.000 Really got to a whole different level. 1.00

01:07:19.000 I mean, you could see all kinds of shit. 0.99

01:07:20.000 So now TV has to compete with social media. 0.99

01:07:23.000 So they have to go harder.

01:07:25.000 They have to go harder.

01:07:26.000 That's why reality won so much.

01:07:27.000 Because reality is real life. 0.98

01:07:29.000 Bitches fighting. 1.00

01:07:30.000 All that crazy shit going on. 1.00

01:07:32.000 Because TV, we're in a different era. 0.99

01:07:35.000 So if TV want to compete, TV got to go hard. 0.98

01:07:38.000 There got to be bitches still fighting on TV. You know what I could see you doing on a show with, Michael? 1.00

01:07:42.000 For the love of Blacksmen.

01:07:50.000 It was one short idea that I had in mind that I was going to do.

01:07:53.000 It's called It Takes a Village.

01:07:55.000 And pretty much that show was a reality show about me making so many bad choices in my whole life.

01:08:01.000 I'm picking women. 1.00

01:08:03.000 I've been really bad with picking women. 0.51

01:08:05.000 So I decided, okay, you know what?

01:08:07.000 I'm going to take 10 women. 1.00

01:08:08.000 I'm going to take them to my village and let my village decide who's best for me.

01:08:12.000 Take these women out of their comfort zone. 0.99

01:08:13.000 Get them from their bougie homes in America and take them to the village in West Africa. 1.00

01:08:17.000 Throw a spear, bitch. 1.00

01:08:17.000 Take them to the huts. 1.00

01:08:20.000 And let the chiefs and the village ladies all decide which one of these are best for me. 0.89

01:08:25.000 I might still do it, even though I have a whole scripted show now.

01:08:29.000 So when you have a scripted show, you know, you don't go back to reality.

01:08:32.000 But if I'm going to go back to reality, that would be something that I would do.

01:08:35.000 That'd be dope. 0.98

01:08:36.000 Is reality television still a big thing nowadays?

01:08:38.000 Or are people still...

01:08:39.000 I remember it was all the rage in like the late...

01:08:42.000 In the early 2000s all the way up until like 2010, I remember all these, you know, the pickup artists and Flavor of Love and New York had the real world, Flavor of Love's like the contestant, what's her name, For the Love of New York did a show.

01:08:56.000 I Love New York.

01:08:58.000 Real Chance of Love.

01:08:59.000 All these shows were huge back then.

01:09:01.000 Jersey Shore, right?

01:09:03.000 These were all huge shows back then.

01:09:04.000 I still think reality is still hard and still being watched only because reality is real life.

01:09:12.000 Some of them still have a little bit of storylines or whatever, but it's still real life and people are so invested into people's real life. 0.98

01:09:20.000 People want to see other motherfuckers fail in real life. 1.00

01:09:23.000 Would you ever do a reality show? 0.99

01:09:25.000 I've done one.

01:09:25.000 I've done Couples Retreat.

01:09:28.000 I did two years of that with Ryder.

01:09:32.000 Tell me this, because I'm very curious about this.

01:09:35.000 Is it true they take your phones away and give y'all plenty of alcohol so that they can kind of incite drama?

01:09:41.000 That's what I've heard from these reality shows.

01:09:43.000 It depends on what we're about to talk about.

01:09:46.000 It depends on the scene.

01:09:49.000 Some sayings, I mean, yeah, they want to get the truth out of you, so they do encourage you to drink, you know.

01:09:55.000 And no phones when you're on the set, right?

01:09:58.000 Of course, no phone.

01:09:59.000 We don't, nobody, I mean, no network with no interruption in a set.

01:10:02.000 Yeah.

01:10:03.000 I know there's Love Island now, there's one pretty good, that reality show, Love Island.

01:10:07.000 But I'm saying like Jersey Shore, they took their phones from them for months.

01:10:10.000 Oh, I didn't know for months.

01:10:11.000 While they were living in the house.

01:10:11.000 Like, they only could use that, you know, that duck phone.

01:10:14.000 Remember that duck phone?

01:10:14.000 They'd go in there and they'd do it when they'd be talking to themselves.

01:10:16.000 They only had that one duck phone and only one in the house.

01:10:20.000 So, like, they would fight over the phone.

01:10:21.000 I mean, that's just some camera.

01:10:21.000 No one had a cell phone.

01:10:23.000 Off camera, them niggas got their phone back, nigga. 1.00

01:10:23.000 None of that stuff. 1.00

01:10:25.000 Oh, okay.

01:10:26.000 All right.

01:10:26.000 I wasn't sure.

01:10:28.000 Ain't no way I'm gonna leave without my phone for a whole month. 0.99

01:10:30.000 Hell no, nigga. 1.00

01:10:31.000 We got some rants here. 1.00

01:10:33.000 After a month, not having your phone, nigga, you be single, motherfucker, if you're in a relationship. 1.00

01:10:38.000 Bitch, where you been there for a whole month? 1.00

01:10:39.000 You answered my call. 1.00

01:10:41.000 Away from you, bitch. 1.00

01:10:43.000 Okay. 1.00

01:10:44.000 Them boys...

01:10:45.000 Michael Blackson would have been the biggest comedian if he sold out to the LGBT agenda, but he kept a solid and stood tall and still won. 1.00

01:10:52.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:10:52.000 They tried to get you to turn, huh? 1.00

01:10:55.000 We got here.

01:10:55.000 American Pharoah goes, Real G's always speaking truth bombs.

01:10:58.000 Thank you, my friend.

01:10:59.000 IRS goes, How bright are the lights in the studio?

01:11:01.000 Did y'all make it just so we can see Michael and Fresh?

01:11:03.000 Yeah, man.

01:11:03.000 They're bright as hell right now.

01:11:04.000 I ain't gonna lie. 0.99

01:11:04.000 Who the fuck is that? 0.99

01:11:06.000 Show his picture, motherfucker. 1.00

01:11:08.000 What is the IRS, bro? 1.00

01:11:11.000 Kobe goes, Martin, I was wondering if you still do one-on-one conversations.

01:11:14.000 I have some things that I would like your mentorship and guidance on.

01:11:16.000 I understand your time is valuable and that it would not be free.

01:11:19.000 Yeah, bro, it would be very expensive, but just go ahead and send me a DM on Instagram.

01:11:23.000 Mike Blackson and Aries Spears are the best comedians.

01:11:26.000 The only reason they are not the biggest is because they don't play to the gym.

01:11:32.000 Alright, we'll move on.

01:11:34.000 Fresh and Michael both look like under the bed. 1.00

01:11:36.000 He's using my fucking joke on me, punk bitch. 1.00

01:11:40.000 Michael Blacks, I can't get jiggy with this shit. 1.00

01:11:42.000 Nigga. 1.00

01:11:44.000 Right amount of money to have in reserve for emergencies plus repairs when buying a turnkey property.

01:11:49.000 You want to have at least six months of expenses there that you can cover.

01:11:54.000 Guys, ask Mr.

01:11:55.000 Nigga if he knows that Chris was a teacher. 1.00

01:11:57.000 Oh, yeah.

01:11:58.000 So get this, Michael.

01:12:00.000 Our producer, Chris, You used to be a teacher. 1.00

01:12:03.000 Chris, put the camera on you, ugly nigga. 1.00

01:12:05.000 The one time you want to be quiet now, huh? 1.00

01:12:06.000 But let me ask you this.

01:12:08.000 Talk to him real quick and tell us if you'd be a good teacher.

01:12:11.000 Chris, talk to Michael real quick.

01:12:12.000 What do you mean?

01:12:13.000 What do you mean he used to be a teacher?

01:12:14.000 You still look young.

01:12:15.000 You don't teach no more?

01:12:16.000 No, no.

01:12:17.000 Not anymore.

01:12:18.000 I taught for five years, but yeah.

01:12:20.000 What grade?

01:12:21.000 My first year, I taught pre-K to fourth grade, and I taught sixth to twelfth grade.

01:12:26.000 What subjects?

01:12:27.000 Art, photography, journalism, and pretty much, man.

01:12:30.000 So, I mean, that's about it.

01:12:32.000 I have...

01:12:33.000 What happened?

01:12:34.000 The kids drove you nuts?

01:12:36.000 No, I mean...

01:12:36.000 Kindergarten in the fourth grade, they're adorable.

01:12:39.000 So, you know, my school in Ghana is kindergarten right now to fourth grade.

01:12:45.000 Every year I go up a grade.

01:12:46.000 I'm going to eventually stop in ninth grade, like junior high.

01:12:49.000 And those kids are just so adorable.

01:12:52.000 You know what I mean?

01:12:52.000 I'm not sure.

01:12:53.000 Are you parents?

01:12:53.000 Do you have kids?

01:12:54.000 No.

01:12:55.000 I have a dog.

01:12:56.000 Okay. 1.00

01:12:58.000 How ugly is your baby mother to have a fucking dog? 1.00

01:13:04.000 Why did you stop being a teacher? 1.00

01:13:11.000 No, because after low pay and, you know, it's one of those things where the hours you put in from, like, 6 a.m.

01:13:17.000 to, like, what?

01:13:18.000 6 a.m.

01:13:19.000 to 7 p.m.?

01:13:19.000 Yeah, that's a lot.

01:13:20.000 Teachers are so on the pace when you're dealing with these badass fucking kids. 0.99

01:13:23.000 Yeah, yeah, pretty much. 0.98

01:13:24.000 So I went into graphic design and then for, like, six months and then here I am right now on the Fudge Fat Podcast.

01:13:29.000 Why does it sound like Chris's tongue is burned, bro?

01:13:32.000 Chris, it literally sounds like you've burned your tongue every time you talk, bro.

01:13:36.000 I think the most important thing...

01:13:38.000 The most important thing about being a teacher is...

01:13:41.000 He was not really passionate about being a teacher.

01:13:45.000 Teachers don't care about the money. 1.00

01:13:49.000 It's the passion you have for the kids, the love. 1.00

01:13:52.000 They don't make shit, man. 0.98

01:13:53.000 They don't make nothing. 0.99

01:13:54.000 Trust me.

01:13:55.000 I was there from morning to night just doing what I got to do and stuff like that.

01:13:59.000 But at the end of the day, life moves on.

01:14:01.000 Simple as that.

01:14:02.000 And my passion is art, so I just pursued art.

01:14:04.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:14:05.000 You wasn't a kid, motherfucker. 1.00

01:14:06.000 Fuck your kids, man. 1.00

01:14:17.000 HBD cop shot his wife in the face of Texas. 1.00

01:14:52.000 So, Mike, question for you, bro.

01:14:56.000 Where can they find you and what's coming up for you next?

01:14:59.000 I'm touring the country.

01:15:03.000 This weekend I'm in Arlington, Texas.

01:15:07.000 Just a few tickets left.

01:15:39.000 I feel so bad.

01:15:40.000 Don't worry, guys.

01:15:41.000 I'll most likely be back in Florida in like three months.

01:15:44.000 Florida has so many comedy clubs.

01:16:03.000 I appreciate the support, man.

01:16:04.000 I got a question.

01:16:05.000 You were recently on the Impulsive podcast.

01:16:12.000 You know, it was, it was, and what I liked by doing that, you know, I gained a whole.

01:16:17.000 They're out of California, right?

01:16:18.000 LA? No, it's in New York.

01:16:20.000 Oh, they film in New York?

01:16:21.000 Yeah, they film in New York.

01:16:23.000 Like I was telling you earlier before the show, when I go to do Caroline's, Caroline's usually just close the comedy club down.

01:16:31.000 It was up for like 30-something years.

01:16:33.000 And when I went to go to Caroline's on the weekend, you know, they have all these press lined up and The podcast was part of the press, you know?

01:16:43.000 And I got a chance to do it.

01:16:44.000 It was so much fun.

01:16:45.000 And then I think it aired a day later and then I helped sell the whole show out.

01:16:49.000 Nice.

01:16:49.000 And again, the whole new audience, a whole new teenage white audience.

01:16:53.000 All the crazy white kids follow me because of that interview. 0.69

01:18:31.000 He's like my little brother.

01:18:32.000 Just tell me what it was.

01:18:34.000 I ran into him at the Super Bowl.

01:18:36.000 We went to a Michael Rubin party, and it was late, and we talked, and that was the first time he's seen me.

01:18:41.000 The all-white party? 0.90

01:18:42.000 The all-white party? 0.90

01:18:43.000 Or no?

01:18:44.000 No, no, no.

01:18:44.000 The all-white party was in, like, it's in New York.

01:18:46.000 This one's in Arizona.

01:18:47.000 Okay.

01:18:48.000 So Michael Rubin, wherever an event is going on in the city, Mike Rubin's there to throw a big party.

01:18:54.000 And he had nothing but A-listers.

01:18:55.000 I was probably the only Z-list at the party.

01:18:57.000 Okay.

01:18:58.000 The cat was there, and the first thing he said to me was like, Mike, congratulations on the school.

01:19:02.000 And I mean, it made me feel good that he's watching and appreciating.

01:19:07.000 I think everybody...

01:19:08.000 I ran to Cardi B at a Super Bowl party, and the first thing she said to me, congratulations on the school.

01:19:15.000 She didn't drug your drink or throw a microphone at you? 1.00

01:19:17.000 No, she didn't throw the mic at me. 0.99

01:19:18.000 Okay.

01:19:20.000 She congratulated me.

01:19:22.000 And it really made me feel good about what I... When I was building a school, I was just doing it because I just felt like these kids needed it.

01:19:29.000 It was something out of my heart, out of my money.

01:19:31.000 It's just in Africa. 0.52

01:19:32.000 I can't tax write this off.

01:19:33.000 It's just something I'm doing for these guys.

01:19:35.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:19:36.000 You can't write it off?
