Drugs in a little bit, but she was in its african how they can go down today. Now saga, no doubt me and it s not a good thing. So look. Where are you from originally at Welch West Virginia, I was country boy, my daddy was a coal miner. This is a true story. We left Welch West Virginia when I was four because of the incident Father got involved here it so he sent us to cleave and he came later every summer had to go back and work to farm. Would my uncle and my grandfather cause my daddy?

steel, head animals down there and he had been raised. Many we vote on it in the fall when slaughter, hogs and nobody, summertime ahold, rows of corn and in the field of supply, behind a new name. Kate out plough feels man eleven years old, thrilling, yeah man tell me about this incident or my dad is day it. So you know they can't get him on nothing. But supposed to catch a train with my mother. My mother was very fair complected. She could pass for white, and so she could ride the train, and this is one thousand nine hundred and sixty sixty one and We want a train station down in West Virginia. I don't know the exact place it was, but a hair color only water, fountains white, only waterfowl nozzle little boy Now, go away from my mother went over I'm drinking water, a k, free some drink from the whites, only waterfowl an owl A woman saw me doing it and grab me and slap

You said you don't drink from the water found what Mama sought at now was it Mama jumped onto lady they call the sheriff share of came jumped on my mother and then they took my mother, but they love mean a train station. I just said this: will all black porter he couldn't do at the time he just waited. Clothes and he asked me what my name was in whom a mom and dad was not told in any put me back at his flat bay. A truck and drove me to my dad is house model Look at me like what you do and you could you put beyond trade, which your mom so report. I told him what happened so my mother came in late own Eddie.

We packed up to go to DC To stay with her sisters before we moved over to Cleveland Copper days, He went to the shares house. An incident occurred and did he joined us later? That's how we got to clean it. S really true store. So was

new sheriff after their day ahead work out some things. I guess medication see here the sheriff didn't you well when you get older now not see. My daddy is sort of fundamental. My daddy, He always told me and my brothers ahead to older brothers right. He told us he say, UK talk back to your mom. You can raise your voice to your mother, see my father have simple: food at our house. We don't do back and forth. We just do forth ain't. No back so that was that was out of the question, so you can talk back to your mom can't raise your voice to your mama and you can't never touch your mama. If you do anything and do any one of them, I'm going to hurt you real bad, but we we believe that that apply to everybody sheriff included so he went over and it got got out a hair, so he did get out of town.

Why not a one off rinsing size. You can move a man pretty good. If nobody saw it, you could you walk out, they didn't know how to do footprints. Samples back to those of the good old days is. A footprint is ass. It was ok, yeah, probably a lot of black people had says Nevins back the nest problem, but it's actually cause you were actually named after a famous. Asian cop right, yeah, Broderick, Crawford Broderick Crawford from highway. Fifty four out of control, Broderick crawford- I was going to be named. The other choice was Brian Keith.

we always white male aware of those Colombia Roderick Crawford, because the thing you re ready of his youth, you couldn't understand a word. He said you remember that Yasser Arafat, Galva jails in How did he get off microphone and he'd go alone, no regular instead, what he said but dinner by showed up, so It was on highway patrol.

Nobody ever told you not in got old and found out who we were Yokota Show stay, home for a while, and we watching tv and my mama said I named you after him. My daddy would just get up and walk out the room every time she said it. So I guess it ain't what he wanted to know. I guess, but my older brother was already named after him, so I didn't get that so you worked in the fields you work in the mines now not normal father,

You had to have at least two different things being told you at one time, because I know how sets up, and I know I tell Robin at at the second. It happened. I said he's gotten to pieces of information. At the same time,

guarantee you. Somebody is in his ear telling him what he said, or sellers at prompter and he's region it rather ducas. He don't know or give a shit the boy and what is easy to say what it I'm right. I was exactly right cause I'm a really smart guy. I had done whole show perfectly. You think I wait too, game winning shot to not is simple. All God do is red, read and say what tell me He told me and when I set it great job Steve go to tobacco Nobody knew nothing, two minutes and thirty, seconds later. He says, said the wrong Blakeney blanked Blank Blank Blake, blank combination, mother, blankly, Blake, all us all. I heard he was how he say. Oh my god, I was. I left him calling o my Lord S, how good a cousin output out

This was the first, due to call me with you man, the first do it and it made me feel better, but a week was a week was dark master, pretty dark from well it'll come on we're not cure cancer. Here were given somebody a trophy brought. You know I tried to soften it at a press conference. I said you know I just said wrong: name: do you know people steel, Colombia I can't even fly over Colombia that my plane diskin. I can't drink colombian coffee anymore. I thanked it to try and get me. I had a guy came to my show. My talk show that cement Pisa out from Colombia YO. We still don't like you down there.

You still got problems down, Natsir probably do he's you said the wrong name, you you gave away a crown to the Philippines pon what you trip and fall from coming I said a wrong: may we got the wrong Ms Universe Assembly in Amerika. We got a president who stuck here, you don't want to piss off the cartel. At the same time, but you know mad you're, absolutely right cause like I was getting rock in my home in Atlanta, with notes on thrown over my gate and so to this day. To this- I have twenty four hour armed guards at my house in a letter to this day front and back bad. They were throwing rocks over my wall. At my gay I met a lot of really nice colombian people system, but this is some people from now what

that that got out of control, but the studio pass right. I mean it. I was hoping you supply. I got a few things I gotta ask. Your name will be done. What do you think about? all this political correctness, you know, madam, is high now because stuff on a comedian, it's it's preventing me from going back. I've thought about goin back and do one more special actually have thought about going back. I have so much to say over the past six, He is all my talk, show I've. I've got some stuff man, that's in here so funny, but political correctness of political correctness is so ramp. It now that everybody's lookin for way to get, they feel hurt and saw anything you say is offensive to some and all we need is one person, because nominal sponsor, driven business alma shows a sponsor driven

and so now, if somebody calls eating and Gideon rallying cry. He hurt me and one sponsored pool the whole empire can crumble off of a joke, and so it's it's ugly too. Where you you can't be funny any more about who? Who can you be funny about you kiss a nothing mad about no body because they rallied so quickly cause it even dangerous? Go get a bunch of signatures there ain't even real, and next thing- you know you off to air man, so you get advertisers spooks, they socially well bright light. So I got it is different. I gotta back off. You can only talk about yourself and nobody is full comedy specials. That interesting,

did. You can talk about yourself for an hour and a half on a comedy special you're. Not that funny. You gotta talk about something you know, and so what can the jokes be about now is gonna control. I did a joke about sprinkle Marquis. It's all my talk show. Oh my god. Oh, my god, you spend your children, set it as a joke, but they're all grown lives of Joe and none of them were imprisoned and all of them are doing really well I asked what his work they work for me and no man. So that's crazy. I have some alligator shoes. I get a call from Peter and this morning really pissed me off and said you wearing alligator shoes. You know what I told I see and alligators keel key it

lucky all alligators, never heard from him again never heard from Gaza was a great response. Alligators keel key it you're just recently. Yet so you should be shoes guests. Well, that's a That's the point of view. The thought was good in all where fur and nothing like that, but alligator snake. What entertainer comedian do you admire? The most living will end. The budget pry was too came from Adieu mad man. He formulate comedy the way you see it today in so many aspects, the guys out there. Now I mean I was a love. George Carlin Man alone Carl. Indeed, what he did. George column was a huge and floors as a key

it man, it was Jonathan winners, reared buttons, reared Skelton, another well probably had to take a drink. Beer calls was big and floors. Navigate, looker, please alcohol! but in comedy just a huge influence. You know in comedy here are influenced today, though these changed greatly and cook is big to me, but Kevin Hart is all what a guy's butt. Eddie Murphy change the game for us, Richard Pryor was a game, angel of us, and so we all benefited from net kings. A comedy was because overall, The kings comedy was because of prior.

Kings calmly was probably the biggest comedy vit. Forty four thousand people had to joy. Down Georgia, dome forty four thousand people came in the queen's perform First Queens comedy, unique Dale, given some more and haze took an omission and they bought two kings out. I entered to Georgia dull on a horse Jong carriage with all the dressed in white and I was dead in a militant carriage come in from the back.
