Good man, good to

1:56
this.
1:56
Yeah, yeah, so that's how I wanted to get to it. I mean,
1:58
we really pride ourselves on having authentic,
2:01

2:03
from the conversation. We can you know, motivate
2:05

2:07
Nate.
2:07
Thanks,
2:10
Well, so we, like you said, we did this show a
2:13
month ago or maybe five weeks ago, and
2:15
you get this after the show and said, hey, let's hold
2:17
it. I want to do a redo.
2:19
Tell me why you felt that way.
2:21
Well, you know, sometimes, man, when
2:23
you do these podcasts and you
2:25
do interviews, sometimes you
2:28
know, depending on the mold you in, you
2:31
might not say some of the things that you wanted
2:33
to say. And sometimes I find myself
2:36
reiterating some of the things that I've already
2:38
said.
2:38
In the interviews.
2:40
People don't seen my interviews a million times
2:42
on YouTube and stuff, so I just
2:44
don't want to say the same thing, right. And when
2:46
I left I realized that, I said, damn, you
2:48
know, because sometimes I want to keep re educating
2:51
people on who I am.
2:53
But it made sense though, because he wasn't there, So it's
2:55
better to.
2:59
Four before stacked stop
3:02
smoking.
3:02
Man, Yeah my bad, I'm going
3:04

3:09

3:11

3:14
Top of the world. This
3:17
is that mountain drink that was nice
3:19
and cold.
3:22
From Mike Knuggles.
3:23
Anybody got no loation on it?
3:27
Yeah, I work on transmissions when
3:29
I'm here in Indiana and
3:31
I fly chicken over at Pope for
3:37
YouTube light skin to see your ash
3:44
again.
3:44
Just recently, you know, there's headlines
3:47
between you know, you had to stand
3:49
up. You had said some stuff and obviously
3:51
Shannon Sharp in his podcast and Cat
3:54
Williams and all this. You know, it really made headlines,
3:56
broke records. You recently
3:58
got in the man it was telling you how you tell
4:00
jokes, and it started starting
4:03
getting back and forth. But I was glad. I knew it
4:05
would happen. You and Shan't were able to talk
4:07
and figure it out, and that happened. I think
4:09
yesterday. If I'm not minasaken, can you kind of, you know, to tell
4:11
us what it was about, but just how that came about
4:13
and where you guys are at now.
4:15
Well, you know we at the end
4:17
of the day, this is all entertainment, you
4:20
know, that's what this is. We're not selling
4:23
drugs. We're not We're
4:25
not in the underworld. So
4:28
there's some guidelines and rules to.
4:31
The business that we're in.
4:33
And you know,
4:35
at the end of the day, we got families, we
4:37
got kids and stuff like that. So sometime
4:40
we can get out of line, man, you know, and me personally,
4:43
you know, I can get out of line a little bit.
4:46
Well, I said some stuff that I did,
4:49
some of the stuff I shouldn't have say. Some
4:51
of the stuff was good, it was funny.
4:53
Everybody was laughing.
4:54
But then when I went back and looked at it,
4:56
I said, yeah, I kind of crossed
4:58
the line a little bit. But when you grow across the line,
5:00
you're already there. So I just
5:02
didn't expect.
5:05
I just didn't expect the brother to get so mad
5:07
about it, you know. And
5:10
then, like I said on the on
5:12
the podcast, I said, I said,
5:15
a lot of people have been talking about
5:17
them. I mean, I've seen it on Saturday Night Live.
5:19
I seen a lot of Corey Holk on different
5:21
ones. I just was wondering, why,
5:23
you know what I.
5:24
Mean, you got singled out that he and
5:27
then you know, he told me.
5:29
He was like, you know what, Mike, I'm
5:31
gonna be honest with you. It was because
5:34
it was you, he said, because guess
5:36
what the fuck with you? These people out
5:38
here, they're
5:40
damn to do what you tell him to do. So
5:43
when he said that, I.
5:44
Said, damn, you're right man.
5:46
You I didn't look at it that way first,
5:49
And you know, it just brought some light to me,
5:51
man, And you know, I felt bad
5:54
about it, and I wanted to meet up with
5:56
him and personally look him
5:58
in the face and tell him that I
6:00
was sorry because I've been I've been messing with people
6:02
and talk about him since I was a kid.
6:04
You know what I mean. I'm talking about I
6:07

11:17
based out of this home, out of my hometown,
11:19
Indianapolis.
11:20
Uh.
11:21
And I thought of the idea, and
11:23
I said, man, you know, who could I get
11:25
to be in this with me? And
11:28
I and I went down the list. I thought about Tiffany
11:30
Habish, I thought about Jesse Larry's. I thought
11:32
about all these different ones, and I
11:34
said, well, if
11:36
I want to do a Sam from the Son or George
11:38
Jefferson type show, I need that
11:41
type of comedian. So I thought
11:43

11:48
So I called.
11:49

11:54
then she finally called me back. She was like,
11:56

11:58
to her. Mike yefs call, I don't

12:20
We went to Netflix, we sold

12:24

12:26
that been in Facts of Life and
12:29
Living Single Favorite.
12:32
Oh man, we got
12:34
we got some characters on the show man,
12:36
you know what I mean? This
12:38
last season we've had everybody, We've had
12:41
faise On Love on the show, and we've
12:44
got a lot of people. Man, I was blessed to
12:46
be able to get I've been trying to get a TV
12:48
show my whole career, so you
12:51
know how many times I've been told no, and
12:53
to be able to get one now, man,
12:56
it was a blessing.
13:01
The current state of comedy right now.
13:04
What you think about it with the cancel culture and
13:06
everybody being so sensitive to jokes and things
13:08
like that.
13:09
What's your opinion on it?
13:11
Well, you know, I think
13:13
as a comedian, you really
13:15
gotta you got a weigh your odds.
13:18
You know, you got you
13:20
got one level of it.
13:24
That makes sense. Every level of it makes
13:26
sense.
13:27
But you got a group of guys over
13:29
here.
13:31
That are You think about Dave
13:33
Chapelle, you think about Kat
13:36
Williams, You think about guys
13:38
like Corey Hoker. These
13:41
dudes are fearless, man.
13:43
These dudes ain't. They
13:45
ain't thinking like I'm thinking. See,
13:48
I'm over there. They over there.
13:49
Saying everything I want to say.
13:52
But I can't mess my money up because
13:56
I got a different I know how to
13:58
act.
13:59
In a movie.
14:00
I know how to yeah, I know how to do TV. I
14:02
know how to produce.
14:04
So I'm over there looking at trying to protect
14:06
that. They don't have nothing
14:08
to do with that. Now, if I take that lane right
14:10
there, it might cut
14:14
that off because you don't see none
14:16
of them dudes crossing over and yeah,
14:18
yeah, yeah, not that they can't.
14:20
Do right right, they're just not not But they got.
14:22
A heart of a lion when it comes to this game.
14:25
You know them guys are I'm telling
14:27
you they fearless man. They go up there and say,
14:31
you know, so, I'll say some crazy stuff,
14:33
but lord Jesus, they
14:36
go hard and I just
14:38
sit back my popcorn. I'm like, boy, they got a
14:40
whole lot of hard man, and
14:42
it works for him.
14:43
They said, look like, has
14:45
then has the genre suffered because
14:47
of this? Because of everybody be so sensitive?
14:50
Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's
14:52
that's uh. You know, when
14:55
you think.
14:55
About Richard Pryor and Red
14:58
Fox and Bernie
15:00
Mack and them kind of guys.
15:01
Man, they wouldn't have made it in
15:03
this time.
15:04
You know, they would have probably just walked
15:07
away from the game, because
15:09
it's a damn shame that you're
15:12
allowed to.
15:14
Do it in a different area
15:18
and you're not allowed to do it in.
15:20
The area that is really you supposed
15:22
to be doing to a Comedians are supposed to be able
15:24

talk, but he could, you know, because yeah,
21:26

21:29
grosses.
21:29
All his muscles was gone.

22:48
And George Lopez went on the stage.
22:51

23:25
And you know, and guess what, Nigga,
23:28
I get on the stage, right, I'm
23:31
on the stage. I'm coming
23:33
down because I've been on coke for two three nights.
23:37
They think I'm crying for Richard, but I'm crying
23:39

23:39
I've spent high all night. His
23:43

24:10
Now I'm gonna take some real shit.
24:12

24:16
I told her.
24:16
Look here, Steven, I love
24:18
Richel pride. I love him that death.
24:21
But my kids don't know who he is.
24:25
But the little motherfuckers know me.
24:29
So I'm the motherfucker I'm the
24:31
as good as Richard Pride was.
24:33
He was a bad motherfucker.
24:36
These kids they know who they hell Mike f
24:38
See is and that's my
24:40
o G.
24:41
I love him, But the time
24:44
is moved on.
24:46
So if you go see a Richard Prior movie with
24:48
me and it, you're gonna see Mike f play Richard
24:50
Pride.
24:52
Now, for all the old heads that know Richard
24:54
Pride.
24:55
They're gonna be coming in there like, yeah, nigga, you
24:57

25:04
the kids younger than me, they don't
25:06
know who.
25:06
They said, Mike Ess is playing a comedian on there. I'm
25:08

25:10
That's how that's that's yeah, that's where
25:12
we're at.
25:13
They're gonna say day they too.
25:14
They're gonna kill me with day Day.
25:17
I think that role right there with ice Cube,
25:20
that was the best role that I played
25:22
because I can't get the character off of me.
25:25
Everywhere the character is you boll and.
25:27
So yeah, that's
25:29
that's That's a old mic in the street. That's a lot
25:31
of Mike old mic and the street.
25:33
That's how I played.
25:34
I played all kinds
25:36
of roles. I played
25:39
h drug dealers, I
25:41
played killed. I was just I just
25:43

25:56
I was a human trafficker in that the
26:00
was fucked up. Roles that I didn't want
26:02
to play. I did
26:04
when I first got in the business.
26:07
One of the first roles that I played, I
26:09
played a movie with Ben Diesel. It
26:12
was called Strays. It was Ben Diesel's
26:14
first movie. Didn't Nobody
26:16
don't even know who the.
26:17
Fuck he was, that
26:20
ludicrous character, the
26:22
ludicrous.
26:23
In the plaster fewos.
26:25
That should have been me.
26:26
I was Ben Diesels free a long time ago,
26:30
acts of Violence. I was in that movie.
26:32
Man.
26:32
I played a million roles. That's
26:34
why I even played where
26:37
They they told me that I was gay in the
26:39
but I didn't. I said, I'm gonna play the role, but
26:41
I ain't gay.
26:43
What movie was that.
26:46
It was?
26:47
I was in the first episode
26:49
of the Sopranos, the
26:52
Yes Nigga me.
26:54
They said, they said, guess what this is how
26:56
they tricked me? They said, because I
26:59
came in. I read for the motherfuckers. They
27:01
said, you and this dude, y'all stole the
27:03
car. Y'all stole
27:05
the car. Yeah, google it. He said, y'all stole
27:07
the car. I said, okay, we stole the car. He
27:10
and he said, he said, and that's your boyfriend,
27:14
no nigga before the rock before it started,
27:17
and I got offended, and
27:19
the producer pulled me to the side and said, what's
27:21
the problem with you, homophobicos son? I
27:23
said, nah, I ain't homophore, But listen
27:25
to this. This is me moving from
27:27
Indiana to no
27:30
New York nigga. I lived in New York for fifteen years.
27:33
That's where the fuck I moved to New York.
27:36
I moved to New York City and
27:39
when I was twenty one years old, didn't know nobody,
27:41
didn't know nothing, and got fucked around in
27:43
audition for the motherfucker
27:45
sopranos and got the roll.
27:47
Didn't have no money or nothing.
27:49
He said, yeah, he said.
27:50
I said, I ain't got to touch him, do it? He said,
27:53
no, y'all, just you just.
27:54
Gonna be when we come in the house, You're gonna
27:56
holler for him.
27:56
And say Eddie.
27:59
I said, guess what.
28:01
I don't know how to play a gay guy, but I know how to
28:03
talk like my mother. I
28:07
know how to talk just like her. That's
28:10
who I grew up with.
28:12
Just me and my mama.
28:13
So if I want to go into my mama, I
28:17
know how to do that. I said, I'm
28:19
not gonna let that test who I am.
28:21
You know what I'm saying.
28:22
So I did the role, got
28:24
my little money, and moved on, you know
28:26
what I'm saying, and it didn't bother
28:28
me. That's why I can sit
28:30
right here and tell you that I played the role.
28:33
I worked with nothing but gay people in
28:35
Hollywood. Some of the best people
28:37
in the world. Beautiful people save
28:40
your life, probably
28:43
do more for you than the killer will kill
28:46
her. Let you die because he's a killer, but
28:50
the gay dude might hug you a little tighter.
29:01
Y'all gonna have to cut some of this shit because
29:05
I work in Hollywood.
29:06
See, that's why I don't like doing these motherfucking podcasts.
29:08
I'm out here this shit.
29:12
No for real, This is a real education for
29:15
black men out there, black men,
29:17
black men, black men, black men,
29:20
black men.
29:20
You got to learn how to control your mind
29:22
and your emotions. With all
29:25
of this stuff.
29:26
The tough man role is
29:28
gonna fuck your life up. Being
29:32
homophobic, gonna fuck your life up.
29:36
Not growing up and becoming a man
29:38
when you're supposed to, gonna fuck your life
29:40
up. Got all these things
29:43
that a fuck a young man up. This
29:45
is what This is what fucks a young man
29:47
up. I was a young man,
29:50
A light skinned young man around
29:53
dark skinned men. You
29:56
know what kind of fight that is in the fucking
29:58
black community.
30:00
Shit ain't no joke.
30:01
That's why when you go to the penitentiary you run into
30:03
all these light skin killers. A
30:08
bunch of light skin I'm talking
30:10
about.
30:10
Man, you look like I'll be.
30:11
Sure your help.
30:12
I got life with our parole, bro, You
30:15
know what I mean. Because somebody might have touched
30:17
him when he was a kid that made him a monster.
30:20
You see what I'm saying. This
30:22
is what the kids.
30:23
Need to hear. Right here.
30:25
You want to hear some shit. That's some shit
30:27
you need to hear. You're celebrating
30:30
and your your your you're looking
30:32
in the wrong areas. You
30:35
gotta know what you're dealing with. Man, this
30:37
is life. You know what I'm saying.
30:40
If don't nobody teach you life,
30:43
itself is gonna teach you. It'll
30:46
whoop your ass and make
30:48
you humble, Calm you down,
30:51
settle you down.
30:52
Get to do all of that to you.
30:55
I've been through hey, I've been on drugs. I've been
30:57
through hell. You know what I'm
30:59
saying. I did most of the movies on cocaine,
31:02
all about the benjamins.
31:03
I was.
31:04
Man.
31:04
I used to sit in ice Cubes trailer in the morning
31:06
and be crying tears.
31:08
He like, wife face, Man,
31:11
you a king nigga, Stop doing
31:13
this shit to yourself.
31:14
I'm sitting there wiping myself because.
31:16
I was really, really, really, I
31:20
was really I had survivors remorse.
31:22
I was so sad that I left all them
31:24
niggas here in this city and I was
31:27
famous, and when I would come home,
31:30
I wanted them to be happy for me, and
31:32
they was mad at me. So
31:34
I said, Damn, I gotta destroy myself
31:36
to you to like me. I
31:39
was like, damn, my favorite nigga. It seemed
31:41
like he liked me more. When I'm coming down off
31:43
coke and I'm crying and I hate myself,
31:46
he was like, oh, man, I love you, nigga.
31:48
I'm praying for you. But when I
31:50
wasn't high and I was working out and I looked
31:52
good. He's like, nigga, you think you better
31:55
than me?
31:56
I said, nigga, how was my success of reflection
31:59
of your failure?
32:01
And that's what happens to the kids.
32:04
They around here killing theirself,
32:06
trying to fit in with.
32:08
Somebody who's fucked up. That's
32:11
the truth. Now, I'm a comedian,
32:14
we supposed to be laughing.
32:16
I've been laughing the whole time.
32:18
And the conversation that went there like
32:20
that all good because because
32:23
comedians are dark people.
32:24
Man, we're dark. Cat Williams I
32:26
got, I blessed her.
32:27
I pray for that brother, Man, I
32:30
pray for that brother, because that's some serious
32:32
shit.
32:34
The ship that he did on that podcast.
32:38
Man, we better hope all
32:40
the people that he said ain't no killers,
32:44
because he ain't gonna know who hit him. They
32:47
got money, they know niggas.
32:50
It just take one of them to wake up in the morning and say,
32:53
you know what, that's it.
32:54
But then again, you know a lot of a lot of
32:56
those people that he said something about,
32:59
they probably ain't bothered, cause you know, you don't
33:01
really they don't move you for the truth.
33:03
I mean, either way, man.
33:04
You know what I mean.
33:05
Everybody moves different, man, You know what I
33:07
mean. And that's what I'm saying.
33:08
That negativity sells like that.
33:11
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
33:12
It's sell people.
33:13
People are drawn to that, to the negative
33:15
they are.
33:16
That's why I had to go shake a
33:18
shiner's hand because I can't
33:20
control these dudes out here that
33:23
all just go try to do something to him
33:25
just to it ain't even for me. He's
33:28
just all man, Yeah, I'm man. I'm like, you ain't riding
33:30
for me. I don't even know you.
33:32
You see what I'm saying.
33:34
Just like some dudes wanted to come down here and buy some weed
33:36
for Steve, and I say, he don't sell weed.
33:40
Anymore.
33:41
Man, I want a pound from him. Man, I'll
33:43
be watching any smoke.

34:06
the best one. That's the best one.
34:08
To me.
34:09
I'm tired of giving everybody else praise. That's
34:11
why I ain't getting these jobs. You gotta patch yourself
34:13
on the back. Oh yeah, I'm the baddest motherfucking
34:16
comedy right now, I'm
34:18
the realest nigga in comedy. I'm the baddest
34:20

34:43
know you had arrived in the comedy space?
34:45
Was it a set? Was it a bit? Was it like? When did
34:48
you know? Like, Okay, I've arrived as a comedy.
34:50
When child Support Clark called me.
34:53
As soon as my baby mama had a fort
34:56
nate for me, I said, I made it.
34:58
She's trying to get a raise. Oh
35:01
shit, increased that increase.
35:03
Increase a lot of
35:05
kids there. Everybody
35:07
else will know about the increase. It's always for the kids.
35:10
Yeah, I got another court
35:12
date. I said, did you give
35:14
the kids the money? Because
35:17
my daughter is still asking me for money. I
35:20
only get five hundred dollars, five
35:22
hundred dollars. You
35:25
know how much I send your mama for you that
35:28
ain't in your account.
35:31
This is fucked up.
35:34
They do nothing about it either.
35:35
I remember one summer in seventeen win
35:38
a championship and I rented a house on Doheani for
35:40
the summer, and I was working out and running the hills
35:42
and I ran into Russell Simmons,
35:44
And you remember he used to have his little card right then.
35:46
It was a card card.
35:49
Come and get your rest card.
35:53
Hey, everything. I love that figure Rush.
35:56
I was just a bullshit.
36:00
That's how Russell say, like rust
36:03
Abon Crockett kills bro.
36:06
Damn, I'll be figuring that man, great
36:09
impersonator. No, but I was talking about making
36:11
like a child support card where every time
36:14
you swipe it go like it has to go to the kids
36:16
to be able to credit card like that for some transparency,
36:19
because we all been in a position where we gave
36:21
a bunch of money away and the kids ain't seen none of you.
36:23
They're gonna figure out how way to scam that. They
36:26
don't have a fake ass kid there.
36:29
Yeah, I'm a yeah, standing
36:31

36:35

36:36
Get the money. Run hurry up. Yeah,
36:39

36:43
most of the bullshit out of me.
36:45
Yeah, ask some other ship.

36:58
You
37:00
Black Dug, Black
37:03
Dug from the Hangover.
37:04
I wasn't playing black dug.
37:06
Man.
37:06
I was the only black dude on the set.
37:10
And Todd
37:12
Phillips was the director, and
37:15
uh, it was a
37:17
bunch of white people on the set. When
37:20
I tell you, I was the only black person
37:22
on the set. It
37:24
wasn't one black person there with me. We
37:26
was way out in the desert.
37:29
I just went and found me a little corner and sat over
37:31
there. Man, And I remember
37:33
my first scene. This
37:36
is how, this is how I realized
37:38
that black
37:40
humor and white humor is
37:43
totally different. So
37:45
the first scene, they said ActionAid and
37:48
it was my turn. And man,
37:50
when I went into the scene, it was like I was
37:52
in a Friday movie.
37:53
I was and
37:56
they said cut and it was quiet.
37:59
All the white people's looking at me like this
38:03
is how this is how the crew was walking.
38:08
I was like, damn. I
38:11
was like, what happened?
38:13
I was like the mockers, the laughing at me. Now,
38:15
this is some ship.
38:16
If I was in an ice Cube movie, they
38:19
would have been on the floor.
38:21
Man.
38:21
I tried that ship in that white movie.
38:24
They didn't laugh as ship. I
38:27
said, oh shit, I gotta do something, so
38:30
I adjusted myself. I said,
38:32
guess what I found out with
38:34
white people in comedies? Less
38:37
his best, less his best, don't
38:39
do that much because
38:42
I learned that on Deaf Comedy Jam. When you when I
38:44
did Death Comedy Jam black audiences,
38:46
they fall off the chairs. This
38:49
is how black people la take,
38:51
get up, run you know what I mean? Like
38:54
they used to Pelle did on that That shit
38:56
is real. White people say ha ha
38:58
ha,
39:04
and then they'll come to you after the show you were amazing.
39:08
I'm like, you can't.
39:09
I can't tell, motherfucker, you weren't laughing laughing?
39:12
How the fuck was that amazing? And you wouldn't laugh.
39:14
White people are gonna kill me, man, because
39:17
I joke with them all the time.
39:18
And then I'll be their friend when black people ain't
39:21
around.
39:26
White people like I'm not I'm
39:28
not gonna believe that shiit anymore.
39:30
I've seen how you work with the black people.
39:36
You're one of the comedians that that that have
39:38
kind of made a living in and and and honed
39:40
your craft around roasting the audience.
39:43
Oh yeah, talk to us about that and how
39:45
affected that's been for you.
39:47
Man.
39:47
If I catch if I catch a
39:49
nigga walking in that show down
39:53
that aisle and he ain't got
39:55

40:49
Ship.
40:50
It's like, man, get the fuck
40:52
out of here. Just do the work.
40:55
You know what I'm saying. I'm so tired of everybody
40:59
trying to be the back. I'm
41:01

41:03
business is fucking high school,
41:05

41:08

had the same motherfuckers
41:16

41:17
You had bad kids, you

41:51
Well, the dude didn't have a helmet on. It was
41:53

41:58
I was in the class, is said,
42:01

Well, you gotta you said you got a Netflix special
1:03:12
coming out center.
1:03:13
I got a Netflix special call I'm ready
1:03:15
to sell out.
1:03:16
Yep, that's really today. That's
1:03:18
the name of it.
1:03:19
And the reason why I said that is because
1:03:22
I have per se been
1:03:24
a real nigga so long that
1:03:27
it's not paying the.
1:03:28
Way I wanted to pay.
1:03:31
So I'm watching all these dudes getting all this money
1:03:33
and stuff and I'm trying to figure out how to get it.
1:03:36
I'm not putting on a dress.
1:03:37
I was just about to say that, So I'm.
1:03:39
Not putting on a dress and
1:03:41
I'm not physically doing
1:03:43
nothing for it.
1:03:47
But whatever happened outside of that, you game?
1:03:49
I mean, Well, when I say sellout is like,
1:03:52
you know, whatever, whatever it the
1:03:55
real nigga thing.
1:03:56
It ain't paying me.
1:04:00
It ain't the real nigga
1:04:02
checked then ran out.
1:04:04
I disagree.
1:04:06
Well when I say that, When I say that,
1:04:08
when I say that, it
1:04:11
limits you. You see and
1:04:13
see.
1:04:13
Now I'm adding
1:04:15
this up with my age, Steve. I'm
1:04:18
at an age where I'm at a different
1:04:21
age of you.
1:04:22
I'm looking down to hell, so
1:04:26
my mentality is different. I'm like, damn,
1:04:29

1:04:31
I'm gonna still be the same person, but I
1:04:34
gotta play the game a little bit more, man, I
1:04:36
