I’m tired of the rhetoric of oh you sell out in Hollywood cuz you wore a dress negro I wore a dress it’s called White Chicks you know what we did we did a classic only black people sit there and go man our brothers wearing dresses oh so white people when they wear dresses
When Robin Williams wears a dressed in Mrs dfire he’s brilliant when Tom Hanks wears um a dress in Bosom Buddies oh he’s brilliant right DUS when Dustin Hoffman wears a dress in Tootsie he wins an Oscar black people soon as we put on the dress we start tearing each other down

We go from Keenan of course you know Damon is a is a beast so you got Keenan and Damon and then you fast forward a little bit to a Living Color that’s when we get the introductions to you know with to Sean you and and Kim and then
From there you it’s uh Wayne’s Brothers like it’s just crazy had a vision yeah Keen Keenan is a a Visionary yeah and you know since we was kids he was like do Jedi Mind Tricks with us like he would go out to a club and it was the
80s I remember he didn’t have no draws on theyed the they theyed the bang a lot in the 80s they they meet and and and and you meet and and they beat meet and beat and uh so he had no drawers on he just wear tight jeans and some Shams you know
Shams the beon jacket the porno wear yeah cuz you didn’t know what you know you always in the 80s you always heard porn music do you have any sugar IAB bar sure I got some sugar honey and and so he he had a water bed and we my God yeah we used to
Hear him split spashing in that we we we we thought there was a Title Wave in his room or something so we were kids he flies out to California me Damon me Damen Craig and my nephews and Sean and he would have us come and spend the
Summer with him and when we were there he would go he’d go I’m going to a club I’ll be back and he said here I want you to watch this movie and he give us like Kentucky Fried Movie yeah man and he make us sit there and he had a flat a
Big screen television with it was a box with the projector and we’d sit there he’d give us some snacks and he make us watch Kentucky Fried Movie how old are you around that time 10 okay Kentucky Fried Movie and like Blazing Saddles or something something like that and we’d
Sit there and we watch and he goes and we tell you I want to I want know what’s funny so we he come back he have a pretty girl with him and she going in the room with the water bed you can hear her sit there on the bed and as he’s
Getting ready to go bang he’s like so tell me what y’all thought was funny if he asked you something about Kentucky Frid movie what was funny oh man it was so long ago do you remember the p in his fish I don’t remember the I remember
Jimmy Walker was in a sketch and we found that funny hey man do you remember when they were making love by the instructional uh T and it was like uh so inclined say I want you now she’s like I want you now I want you now I want you
Now that movie I haven’t seen it found it 35 years that just show you how much I watched it that’s crazy airplane oh yeah I know like like that like is that the I speak Jive yes when brother like mother then when they was playing the guitar and they kept taking
Snatching the girl uh uh IV out that was brilliant but my brother would come and he would ask us these questions and he go okay so how do you make it funnier and so we go to tell him he goes no think about it I’m going to go in
There with that squally dip y’all tell me in the morning got breakfast and then in breakfast the girl would leave and he cook for us cook us breakfast and we’ have another session about what we thought was funny and how to make it funnier so he was grooming us without us
Even knowing as kids hey and that’s crazy cuz that’s the grooming tuition into the school of experience that’s like the when Daniel got mad at Mr Miyagi for wax in the cars not knowing that wax on wax off what you want me to watch Kentucky fire movie it’s written
By white people Ken yeah but but it’s crazy how now when you look at it like ah genius everything he did though he would take us to see plays like Disney on um on Broadway like he took he cultured us in a way that allowed us to dream as kids we dream
Like this and there’s no ceiling there’s no cap and I think that and Damon’s just pure artistic Brilliance watching him go on stage we was nine and 10 years old at at The Comedy Store and we’d watch Damon go do some of the most brilliant standup just playing he would just play we
Watched him create handyman right there on the fly like oh I’m hold on I hear and somebody’s in in trouble and he twisted his hands up like this and me and Sean never seen somebody do that in comedy where they actually cuz Damon was born with a handicap yeah so his came
From a place it wasn’t he punching down he was uplifting himself and the community by what if there was a handicapped superhero I never seen somebody take something that could be looked at as negative something that that hurt them their life in their life and find a way
To make it something that you celebrate and make it absolutely hilarious at the same time hey man I remember that one stand up where he was talking I think it was either bully it it was yeah or it was all right don’t make me get upap
Bully talk about how he got was that on Robert Townsen towns yes yeah man Robert towns Partners in when he was tearing dude up dud was like oh okay what about those cripp people sh yeah well how about this SE how about that’s why M and
He told him the truth Dam man Damon was BR hey yeah so watching him we learned through osmosis what it takes to be great like because my brothers both of them and then when they got together and they formed like when Damon and kingan put their minds together In Living Color
You can’t stop that you can’t stop that dunk you got Jordan and Scotty Pippen and you don’t know who’s who yeah you can’t stop that dunk they were both and then you add Kim who went to Wesleyan University for for writing two things made me a writer one I was 10 years old
And my brother Keenan sent me the script so I’mma get you sucker and me and Sean sat there with Craig on ours side and and our our pissy mattress that we slept on in the projects with no bed frame no sheet and we read I’mma get you
Sucker and we laughed out loud so you got it in print you can you understood it in print and we was laughing and after we finished me and Sean was wiping tears and we was like yo this was we looked at the cover and it said written
By Keenan Ivy way and I was like yo my brother wrote those words and that was the first day that I was like I want to be a writer the second time I said I want to be a writer was I read my sister Kim’s college
Thesis which was one of the just a bunch of short stories and they were brilliant short stories and I was like yo that they were so funny and so like she should make it a play it was that funny and that was the other thing that made
Me go I want to be and from that I’ve written I don’t know maybe 12 15 17 movies I don’t know and um you know but I’ve been groomed Robert Townsen yeah I grew up with in Hollywood like as a a young Jedi Robert Townson I us to I grew
Up on Robert Townson sets when you talk about um partners in crime yeah man Robert towns was the first person to bring me and my brothers on stage me Sean and Craig and Damian was out here when we was 10 or 11 years old that summer and Robert it was actually winter
Time cuz it was winter break and Robert was performing at the Improv and he was working on his uncle his Grandpa character so he had me Sean Craig who was like I don’t know eight and my nephew Damien which was who was two and heed to do this Michael Jackson at The
Improv on stage and just was improvising doing a sketch with us and that was the first time I was on stage and then from there I met we went to the set of um partners in crime mhm and that was the next summer I was partners in crime and
If you watch partners in crime I have a couple of sketches that me and Sean are in this is one that we wrote with Damon easy listening hip hop and it was me Sean Damon we was on like Oprah this kid Danny Guru we grew up with and D we was
Making like it sounds like right I remember that the bees make honey we give away our money how old were you then I was 12 hey man let me tell you what crazy I was a part of writing is I remember getting free tickets to go to
UCLA to wassworth theater wow to watch wow partners in crime be filmed that was the first time I saw your brothers like really do stand up that was the first time I think I saw Robin Harris do stand it it was like yeah man but you talk
About Visionaries right I’m in a couple of sketches in that and then like I grew up in this community of greatness like Robert sometimes he’ll be come come to the crib we still hang out Robert’s like a big brother I love Rob Robert Townson shout out to Robert Townson um shout out
To my brothers Keenan Dam Kim Wayne TR but I just want to say that to allow his little brothers to come on the set me and Sean we was bad but we was funny and and to be able to write like little sketches or be in sketches and you know
And I met John Witherspoon there John Witherspoon played a drunk in a cowboy sketch they did on the Backlot of universal and he like them d coming and he was drink Mak him believe he was drunk and I met John Witherspoon there and me and Sean was like he’s so funny
One day when we do our Sho TV show John Willis spoon he’s GNA Play Our Father this is how crazy we were at 12 and 13 years old like oh when we get out TV show too though because he did I’m going to get you sucker too that was H cakes
Right H cakes no that was I’m going get you that was Hollywood hollyw Shuffle shle ho got to eat then when he lost his M got eat hello he answering his phone his shoe brilliant oh my God man I I have been I have a blessed Journey I’m
Supposed to be right where I’m at and like some people go like it’s hard I haven’t had I I always say I haven’t had a hot moment right because I’ve been here so long right that people just like oh that’s his smaller but one day they
Look back and they’re going to go wow we watch this man develop right in front of our eyes and then when like Superstar is like one crack through away for me one crack through for me cuz I’m so gifted now because of my experience and my knowledge now it’s just that next level
I got my next special coming out good grief I got another one I’m working on right now like I’m I’m I’m in a I’m in a Zone hey man when you say good grief Marlin explain what that means and why you did this stand up called good grief
Good grief is about I lost 57 people I loved in uh a time span of three years including my parents and it was a devastating Journey for me and it’s how I got through the Journey because with laughter that there is good grief you have to find the the blessing and all
That is bad in your life there’s always a blessing when there is Darkness you are there to find find some light and that’s all you need a little bit of light and for me laughter got me through and I hope it gets a lot of people through you know people losing people
Left and right nowadays and I just tell people stay positive find the funny and keep on celebrating life when people go you have to fill my parents left and now I fill those divots huge divots they left in my life I fill them with more family my whole my brothers and my
Sisters always at my house hanging out we have barbecues we celebrate people birthdays we having big Christmases we going to celebrate the way my parents taught us how and now that they’re gone we honor them with that and so good G good grief is not about you know uh the
Sad it’s about what’s the funny about the passing and it’s crazy it’s funny it’s like no he didn’t why and then you sit there and you have a beat in there where you actually you cry yeah because you realize that there’s somebody on stage that’s that’s hurting hey man and
I was going to ask that question too man when we see good grief and if it’s total running time let’s just say it’s an hour right how emotional is it building that because we can go on and we could you know all Trump and the economy and and
Some some things are lwh hanging fruit yeah but to write something like good grief and you’re talking about close people your mom your father the closest to you yeah how what do you have to go through to prepare that do you have to step away from it sometimes I felt like well it’s
Funny I had to be in it my nephew Craig who comes on the road with me and um you know he’s a really funny writer and and a producer and you know he he’s a producer on on good grief and um he would have to leave the room because
Craig was like their other son cuz you know my sister had Craig when she was like 16 and my mama had just lost a child at the time my little sister uh April Melody she was like a stillborn so when deer brought Craig home my mama
Took Craig she’s like M this mine right and so that’s and so that Craig was the baby and so I was the baby I was mad at that little negro for taking my spot but when Craig watched me do good grief sometimes he’d have to leave the room
Right he would on the road with me he would have to leave the room because he knew what I was dealing with it was therap utic for me and the night of that I did the special you know I I had a I went to the dressing room and I had a
Nice boohoo mhm because it was my goodbye to my parents because me talking about them felt like they were still with me all the and then when not now it’s like I I put it to rest in a good way and um it’s a beautiful it’s funny I
Know my parents are going to be like I know that negro didn’t say that about me hey man but you know what’s crazy my Daddy’s going to be that R is crazy I can understand it too man because when my mom passed I had radio I had a mic I
Had good people around me and I almost I thought you meant you had the movie Radio I was like Gooding got you through no I had I had my career right and I felt a certain way because my brothers and sisters didn’t have this Outlet right you know what I’m saying my mom
Died on a Wednesday I was back to work on a Friday not because of lost love or art you know I just needed this right you know the city was here for me the listeners were here for me and I also got to a point where I was like damn my
Brothers and sisters don’t have this so I totally understood where you’re coming from when you say you know you got right not got right back but you you need stop working I kept working because that was my version of crying I don’t cry like in
Everyday life I don’t I’m not I’m not a crier like that it’s crazy because most of the time I don’t cry in therapy and I do it two times a week shout out black people doing therapy yes sir shout out to my therapist R Dr Rodney Collins holl
At him uh and and uh Delena sometimes I have too and um no because I don’t cry in those sessions it’s very rare I have to be in a very toxic place to cry during a um a therapy session but when I’m on stage the vulnerability that I
Have to the audience with thousands of people watching me to be a to sit there and I let it spill out that’s when I’m my most Rong that’s I cry the most on stage I have to stop myself from crying and it’s crazy but it’s because my set
It’s it’s great standup is layers to an onion the first layer you peel you’re just learning how to tell a joke that don’t make you cry when you get to that middle part and you the stuff that makes you cry and you finding laughter in that
Now you getting good and now that’s why I say I’m getting nice at this because I’m I’m coming from a different angle I’m coming from Pain and I’m and and finding light I’m coming from truth and I’m God is writing my story through the Journey of it’s like I always say my I
Had a show I was creating called book of marlin and I say my life is kind of biblical everybody’s life is Journey is biblical because we all go through all kinds of tragedies and in the Bible you find great lessons for us that’s reading it when those people go through bad
Things you find great lessons the jewels for us and they find their Jewel but by going through the most terrible things but in my life when I go through the most terrible things I always find the funny so that’s my jewel is what’s funny about what I went through and that’s for
The audience to laugh at and that’s the test and that’s the test and testimony absolutely the test and the testimony damn you you in church there it is I got to drop one of my you got to drop a therapy and get to God if you leave that

Road with my brother Damon and Destroy Damon took mark on the road like you know like we know everybody so when I talk about my brothers in comedy Steve Harvey Mark Curry I know them both I love them both I ain’t gonna be like ah Steve hary stole my mustache right right
Right you know what I mean it’s like in in comedy I just want to be led Mark Curry is like a big brother to me I love uh um Harvey’s like a uncle or and dl’s like a brother you know I mean all these all these guys Kevin Kevin’s like you
Know my friend like Chappelle’s I ain’t got nothing to say about nobody and if I do I’mma call them up and I’mma tell them what I think I’m not going to air it out on the airwaves because everybody want to see a a sht show and I don’t want to give them
That they don’t give them that that’s not let’s not pollute comedy I don’t want people starting to we already had a slap I don’t want guns in comedy I don’t want let your work speak for yourself you want to be the funniest I want need to go head-to-head with you we’re
Already going head to-head I go head to-head with myself every night I’m trying to be my greatest me you be your greatest you I want to celebrate you as you celebrate me and the funniest that’s for the audience to figure out I’m not going to tear nobody down to build
Somebody up and people got to get back into you know the positivity of building people up you don’t see any other race of people tearing people down the way black people do we are our own worst enemies and we have to stop that I don’t I’m never going to support but you know
What martinin we looking at 50 50 million probably now I’m pretty sure in County right and of course all the clips from Cat Williams were cat goes at Steve cat goes at s and those things man he’s not wrong for venting what he’s venting because that’s that man’s experience so
I can’t strip him of that and that’s what I I I can’t sit and and you know I know everybody too so I didn’t trip off of it but I tripped off of how that was the things that went up now I I literally I haven’t watched anything
That long ever but the negativity is what got it 50 million Commandments but when you watch it people didn’t bring up oh he paid for melore Star they didn’t bring up oh you know he’s a a father Foster father to seven kids you know when comedians are on stage he’ll send
One of his ladies up to give them a thousand dollar to a comedian he paid for his own specials that he found his own way those are the things that the audience needs to extract we keep extracting what is negative how do we live in a positive way when all we do is
Digest what is negative about the life people aren’t methylating their life experience the right way I’m here to get the best nutrients out of life and out of experience and I I mean and that’s what we need to celebrate more I’m tired of the rhetoric of oh you sell
Out and hwood cuz you wore a dress negro I wore a dress it’s called White Chicks you know what we did we did a classic only black people sit there and go man our brothers wearing dresses oh so white people when they wear dresses when Robin Williams wears a dress Miss dfire he’s
Brilliant when Tom Hanks wears um a dress in Bosom Buddies oh he’s brilliant right DUS when Dustin Hoffman wears a dress in Tootsie he wins an Oscar black people soon as we put on a dress we start tearing each other down this is Art and this is comedy you think I’m G
Tear down Flip Wilson you think I’m G tear down Tyler Perry I’m not going to tear down any of these brothers it’s comedy and we should embrace our comedy all of it we shouldn’t have one type of humor we should embrace all of our humor every shade of black that is black and
Is beautiful minorities need to stick together and come together and really celebrate us we have been taught to drag each other down it’s toxic it is so toxic I’m just not GNA be a part of that I’m G celebrate and even with like I said cat Brant he a funny dude man he
Says he says crazy stuff about me but I don’t take it negative one time he said Mal way ain’t a real comedian I said okay and this about 10 years ago and I said said there’s truth to that there’s truth to that cuz I remember when I was doing behind the
Smile with cat and I wasn’t doing standup comedy all the time but I did it for the movie because I’m an as an actor I always dive in right and he was like hey you should do it man you’re funny this and that and he was like I got
Material you want me to I said no if I do it I write my own stuff I I know I appreciate you he’s like I got hours of mat no thank you but if I do it I’m I’m an actor I’m going do this so when he was talking about me not doing
Standup and I was I’m an actor a comedic actor I’m not a standup comedian I took that as okay you’re right and then I went on the Journey of doing specials I went on the Journey of going on the road I am on the Journey of becoming a
Comedian and at this point I’m a much better comedian than I was when he said that but I didn’t look at it as negative I looked at as okay I got work to do so it’s always a challenge and now I’m working to my way toward my greatest me
And then I will be a comedian and because of that it was inspiring for me I extracted that thing and said okay I’mma use this for positive not for negative and I ain’t going to fight you no man this is nothing but love my family got nothing but love for everybody in this
Industry and we wish everybody nothing but love that’s the way my brothers taught me to play Hey man between uh paraphrasing Chris Rock coming at you early on in your career funny wise you know what I’m saying and then cat W I’m I wouldn’t even do
Comedy no but see those those are chin checks right you want the chin checks how bad do you want it right when people tell you certain things it’s it’s motivation right it’s never Devastation it’s always motivation thank you for that I thank I’m thankful I’m thankful I
Need those chin checks you could get comfortable I’m the young prince of Kings right so I have to do all this work and I got to show up in ways that you know beyond what I was taught I can’t just follow the the the the blueprint I can’t just follow the
Footprints I have to make my own and then I got to bring those Footprints together right because then collectively as wayin we done did the damn thing and I see the trail that I’m blazing and I’m finally able to blaze it because I’m doing the work and I but and I will say
People or brothers like Chris Rock and Cat and Kevin and watching all these guys Chappelle do it on a high level is inspiring to me and so as I continue to walk down my path you know I God only shows you what you can you know it’s
Your own vision of yourself so when you’re in these experiences and you see through their eyes you see what that I’m on stage when they’re on stage I’m on stage like a this is how I would play that oh that’s how you I would move this way and that way I’m I’m envisioning
Myself it’s not even about can you still enjoy it yes like and I’m not talking about just when you’re on stage can you still enjoy yeah because cuz sometimes I tell my wife I’m too close to sir I enjoy it if it makes me laugh it makes sometimes
I could be too close to something where I’m like oh you know that camera continuity wasn’t no if it’s funny the even if I’m watching film she like baby stop I’m like baby look his collar was up on this shot yeah you annoying you ain’t no Netflix and chill
With you it’s chill and Netflix hey man have you had a joke stolen from you or something that was close absolutely but I don’t care what am I what I care about a joke right I’ll give you the joke it makes me a better writer would you give
Them the joke I don’t care okay I don’t care I write stuff that you can’t steal because I write my experience and if you can steal that man it’s crazy being the youngest of nine successful brothers and sisters I’m the only negro with that story right I I just come with my truth
You can’t steal my truth you can steal some things but you want your Stu to be so authentic that can’t steal your life experience and like when I’m in a comedy club sometimes when my boy’s about to do a special or whatever I’ll my openers I
I I’ll sit outside and tell me when and I sit outside and I write tags and go hey try this joke what about this what about that and I become a writer I’m a writer I I don’t just write standup I write movies I write TV I’m I’m a writer
Bro first and foremost that’s how I’m able to do special every year I don’t have writers I write my own special I my four specials and this fifth one I’m working on I write them all these are mine so I write them on a stage too
People come to watch me write create I’m having fun it’s a blank canvas and I just created it on the stage I don’t never write it out with with pen and paper like Jay-Z when he get in the booth right right right just your Rain Man and know yeah hey man with with
Comedy they say that a lot of Comedy sometimes could come from the darkest places or people want a comedian to be funny all the time have you ever been somewhere Marlin and you’re quiet and people ask are you okay uh yeah all the time yeah you okay oh but I’m sinking in
The moments I comedian I feel like yeah I’m way funnier now than I was way funnier cuz when I first started comedy I was happy my parents was alive right I didn’t I was protected I didn’t have that much pain in my life but as life
Gets dark and you get in your 50s and you start losing people and you start feeling pain and you go through bad breakups oh my God God is writing you the best material I’m so much funnier here now because I’m so much more damaged and when you get damaged to get
Found and go through that experience but be able to take the the damage and put it on the stage and then do the therapy and grow in life so it don’t just sticks with stick with you I’m in probably the best place in my life right now so
You’re in therapy and comedy is that therapeutic for you yeah that’s why I don’t work right I get paid I get paid to do what I love I’m this ain’t a job the job is getting on the plane but yeah I do what I love y’all are watching me have
Fun everything I do this is making make believe believable I’m having fun hey man I remember and when you say that you’ll sit down and you’ll punch up other people stuff or you just like it feel like you’re writing some of the stuff oh try it this way I remember
After I did my comedy show in Vegas remember even I think we talked like probably once we got home so if that was a Saturday night probably Monday we were on the phone oh thank said and you was like can I talk to you about something and remember I was like yeah
And you said man I love this but then just like how somebody else was sit and take notes this should have been switched around and it was all love this should have been switched around that young boy should have came that that kind of thing you know what I’m saying
But that’s that Visionary right and that I could I don’t sit there and go try and tear you down or say I did this no I talk to you and I tell you hey big boy my brother here’s how you can improve the whole enti experience I what you did
Start with and then go this is what I yep right that’s love right I’m always open to to notes I’m always open to you know uh ideas I just like to but I’m I like to create my stuff myself have you seen the Dave Chappelle uh the dreamer
Stand up have you seen that I saw it live hour oh okay yeah yeah saw working out I love Dave Dave is yeah man Dave is one of the best dudes man you know what Dave taught me like through just watching him he’s so generous with the stage right I’ve been
I’ve opened for Chappelle or shared the stage with Chappelle probably now six times Marin come on man we we we getting down man we down at the uh stat a stand man we getting down and I go on and he just shares the stage Chris Rock went on
Uh John Stewart you got all these great dudes going on before you doing great sets and then he goes on and he does his hour and he’s unmoved by anybody right he goes on stage and he sweeps the full crean and then he does his Dave Chappelle Show and that’s security and I’ve
Learned that with me like I don’t care who goes on first I don’t care who go on last I don’t care where you put me I’m just going to do me hey man with with life and life being such the reality and finding either the funny then there’s
Some things that’s just you know Ser like everything doesn’t have to be for the stage or maybe everything could be for the stage right and I lead into your transgendered son am I saying that correct trans trans okay how would how would someone how would I say
It Marlin Wayne you got to call that [ __ ] and they going to tell I’m still figuring out myself yeah and see right there bro you’re still figuring it out yourself what where where is Marlin way when you say I’m still figuring out that myself like on a stage
M on a stage figuring it out and I got it because you know I think I’ve gotten to the the right place but I what’s beautiful about what I’m creating right now is a pamphlet manuscript a blueprint on how to get there right and is that a a
Pamphlet a blueprint for us as well absolutely yeah absolutely but it’s funny it’s going to be a really funny read and a really funny it but it’s beautiful it’s got you know everything I’m doing right now if it it speaks to more than just jokes when you’re looking
For jokes you’re desperate and you start punching down and you start you know nobody’s feelings mean anything when you have to do it with kids gloves and you have to find something that you leave behind to make people in the audience spiritually grow it has to be a little
Bit of church some Foolery you know after class some you know spitballs in the in the classroom but it got to be some church you got to leave people with something they got to feel something in order to inspire change from a show a comedy a laugh is going to change your
Mood you want to change somebody life you give them something a little bit deeper give him something to think about give him something to spiritually grow with and I think that’s why I think my my stand up I’m just I’m do doing something different this is what I do I
Don’t care about what anybody else does I I found my own uh My Own Lane I found my own way of telling my jokes I found my own Rhythm I found my own my own diagram my own blueprint it took me a while to create my own what sets me
Apart from everybody else I did something different I took one topic and I did a Rubik’s Cube what God loves me my brother Damon was like Damon hates everything I do he said you know ugly that was Brian I said why he said cuz I never seen it
Done that was Brian Kenan hates everything I do damn well they just challenged me cuz I’m they want me to be great right and Kenan said Damon said you’re special was brilliant and then I watched it and he’s right it was brilliant and because I never seen it
Done I never seen somebody take one topic and do an hour about it and I never got bored and I was like I found I found my Lane even when we were talking about Rock Nation uh brunch possibly being cancelled and you said oh yeah Karma
Because God loves me you know what I’m saying like that is something like when when when fluffy did uh Dodger Stadium and he said just look at me and just say I was there that’s all you got to say I know it yes there’s so many times dude
Where I’ll just do something and literally in my head or I say I say oh God loves me you know what I’m saying like I just had something now that was good and literally from your special I would say oh God loves me you know and not that
You want to see somebody else fall down but you know you like oh God loves me you know no but sometimes you do yeah you know but you don’t want to say it out loud not out loud you know what do that do though when your older brothers
Are telling you that like inside emotionally um um I think at this point in my life it feels great because um I’m not a kid anymore these these years are very important to me right I’m in I’m right now about I’m a late bloomer I’m just
About to enter my Prime I’m Denzel 50 right so my 50 is like 35 gotta when I shade this beard off I’m thir like I look 30 it take me a long time to mature into the leading man that I’m trying to become and it took me to understand the
Journey of standup the Journey of a producer the Journey of a writer to get to this place that I am as an artist but at the same time I’m also a brother I’m also a father I’m also the next of kin to take the Legacy to the next level so
That for me is confidence it’s it’s it’s it’s a it’s blessing it’s my forefathers that taught me the game saying son you ready and in order for me to lead I need Obi-Wan and Yoda to believe that Luke Skywalker could do this and so that just
Gave me a sense of of of just Poise like I got this you know and and uh my brother Keenan recently said to me he said you know I used to think you was crazy cuz me and Keenan used to always fight not in a bad way but I was like
Keenan we should do this and we should do that and I think I want to do a special every year and he was like you’re crazy you can’t do that I was like I you can’t I like I can I this what I want to do I just and I know to
Him I sound crazy but he sees me now doing everything that I told him I wanted to do and with the energy that I have every morning to get up and go on a hike and work out two times a day and like I’m preparing for this movie goat
And I’m I’m getting into crazy shape and still going on the road still developing have my developing my play five movies developing five TV shows and still doing what I do and Keenan used to say I used to think you was crazy now I think you’re brilliant that’s everything for me man
That’s as a little boy that all all I ever wanted to do was make my family proud first my mother and my father and then my big brothers and my sisters that poured into me and then to make them proud and now to make my nephews and
Nieces proud got right because when I step away from this and I’m Gone the Legacy that they gave me the traditions of hard work and what they’ve allowed me to do that I leave this behind for the Next Generation or the next Generations that’s why that that’s
That’s everything for me yeah cuz I noticed too marlin man I’m like this dude does not slow down no because they don’t they don’t know yet they choose one or two people and I’m like whenever they choose the people to be in that spot I’m happy those people are there it’s giving me
More time to prepare right because when I get there it’s legendary it doesn’t stop think do you think there are Gatekeepers not by the definition that we see you know but do you feel like there are clubs and circles and things like that I feel like there could be mhm if you allow
Yourself to sit at that gate and wait for opportunity for them to open it got then there are Gatekeepers or you go around and you see this wall and you kick a hole in that wall wall and you create your own opening in your own way and then there are no Gatekeepers now
You’ve created or you go across the street and you put up a wall and you put up a gate and then you put you buy your land and your property and you do your creativity now I don’t care about what’s behind your gate right because what I
Built behind my gate is what’s important so for me there’s never been Gatekeepers I don’t I’ve never stood at their gate waiting Hollywood is a bank it’s a great bank but there’s other money if Hollywood don’t want to make money wayin have done nothing but made Hollywood hundreds of billions H billions of
Dollars right everything we’ve done it’s been a hit like literally we’re a th% on a Mone we’re a great bet you think we stopped no there’s more to but those people that choose whether you’re hot or not to go I’m going to bet on this if they want to bet great if not
There’s other people there’s other money that you can get and create your stuff you know and nowadays you have to really build your industry you don’t wait Tyler Perry didn’t wait on Hollywood to make him he went and did his plays and then Hollywood was like Hey I want some of
That money yes and then they made a lot of money did you feel that way a lot too where you weren’t getting cast or doing the things that you wanted to do so you say you know what I’ll create it I’ll create it I’ll write it absolutely my
Brother taught me to create out of necessity don’t wait on Hollywood you have to create you have to be a a undeniable force of nature in order to make it in this industry right in order to and then you have to learn to kick a
Hole in a wall and make a door he taught us don’t wait on Hollywood I’m not waiting for a thousand different castings I’m going to let my work speak for itself and now they they go that’s the guy for the part cuz he can do everything I’ve seen him in recum I’ve
Seen him in don’t be a minutes I’ve seen him in sex tupet he played Seven characters I seen his standup I I seen his interview this guy don’t miss right then I don’t have no I don’t have no record I don’t I don’t get in trouble I
Don’t I don’t do dumb stuff I’ve never done d dumb stuff cuz I honestly I protect what I am selling which is as an artist as a businessman I protect my brand my family has Protected Their brand we don’t do dumb stuff we just don’t get down like that my parents
Didn’t rais us like that we was raised with Spirit we was raised with God we was raised to with love and so we give that back and um so when Hollywood is ready and they go hey you’re the guy oh they’re gon to make a a lot of money
Because I know where I’m going um in terms of being an international star and if they don’t get it then I’m going to still continue to create my industry and do what I do my last two specials I did out of my pocket mhm I was like I’m not
Waiting on them there you know the streamers and they was like oh man you know if if we there’s a Runway of people that’s before you so we’re GNA have to do your special in 2025 no I’m ready now I’mma film my special cuz I think I’m ready now so I
Filmed God loves me and then HBO Max was like yo we love that we love to have that on our platform my last one is going to a different my new one’s going to a different place and I was just about to do it at the Apollo good grief
I was about to do it and then I can’t say who it is yet but you know a a big company stepped in was like no no no here we want to be partners in in this with you right and so they stepped up and we we did it together I was filming
I filmed it out of my pocket and they you know so you you you you saw the money early you already was spending it cuz you was doing your formula saw something where it’s like oh okay yeah they they invested early and it’s like what can you bring you know
What I’m saying that I’m not doing myself so it’s got to be something beautiful well they got the airwaves man and the Partnerships and they got and I and and plus they know me I’m a promoter I I’ll go to 25 cities I’ll go to 25
Countries if I need to to to sell my product I’m I’m I’m about that life I’m a old school Hollywood dude yo put me on a plane let’s go sun up to sun down let’s go and these are my these are my like I said these are my best years I
Feel like God has me ready and ripe right where I need to be you work like it’s brand new cuz it is right okay that’s true they they I’m working in a hurry not it is brand new in terms of the feeling I’m not tired of it yet
Because I haven’t peaked I’m nowhere close to peeking I I I I love this and I’m I’m only is there frustration with that no I got you because when it’s frustrating I take that energy I bring it over here and I take frustration and turn it into creativity so it’s all
Everything’s energy why am I going to waste my energy in this negative place of frustration that’s feeding cancer in my body instead of going I want to they’re not seeing me the way I want to see me I see me the way I see me I’m GNA
