01:08No, I'm kidding.
01:10I could not.
01:12My brother.
01:12I ought to say I don't know if I'm going to make it.
01:14I know I'm not going to hell because Trump going to be there.
01:17What?
01:17Oh, my God.
01:18He said he going to be there.
01:19He literally said it.
01:20He literally said it.
01:21You don't know this man evil.
01:23I'm not going to make it in heaven.
01:25You ain't going to, you doubt you going to make it in heaven, do you?
01:29Everybody believe they going to make it.
01:30Words are powerful.
01:31He said I doubt I'm going to make it.
01:32I'm not sure if I'm getting there.
01:34He said it.
01:35He said it.
01:35I was like, wait, what kind of plan is going on?
01:38Words are powerful.
01:39He know he evil.
01:41Hey, man.
01:42If you know, you know.
01:43I'm just saying.
01:44He said he knows it.
01:45He know it.
01:46It is what it is.
01:47The man said he know he ain't going to make it.
01:48That's crazy.
01:49I was like, oh, okay.
01:51Welcome back to Atlanta, sir.
01:53I'm happy to be here, man.
01:54Congratulations to you.
01:56I've been wanting to see you just to say congratulations.
01:58I can't believe he done did it.
02:00Why you can't believe it?
02:02Best pullout game in the world.
02:04I call him show shot.
02:06You know what?
02:07That's the show shot.
02:09That brother is so selfish with his spermonology.
02:14He don't let them boys go nowhere.
02:16Know where they ain't supposed to be.
02:18All these years he's been in the game.
02:20You ain't got none.
02:21The Matrix game was crazy.
02:23No, that's smart.
02:24That's smart, though.
02:26That's smart.
02:27That's incredible.
02:28I just don't know the discipline to pull out.
02:30You don't know the discipline?
02:31I mean, every now and then, the little leaky or something, he's like, mm-mm, I'll be right
02:36back.
02:37He would run two miles down to the gas station and let it, ah!
02:41Wipe it off and come back with a part two.
02:45That's crazy.
02:46But that's special that you did that.
02:48What advice do you have for him as a dad?
02:50Yeah, that's good.
02:51As a dad, none.
02:53A father.
02:53He's too old to be a dad.
02:54As a granddad, I could give him granddad advice.
02:59Really?
03:00Really?
03:01Yeah, bro.
03:01You missed the fun years.
03:02You ain't going to be playing ball with him.
03:04You're going to be watching and saying nothing at the game.
03:06He's just going to be losing.
03:08You ain't going to be saying nothing at the game, just watching.
03:12Because that's what older daddies do.
03:13Young dad's like, yo, foul!
03:15Call the foul!
03:16Young, old dad's like, you'll be all right.
03:20You'll be all right.
03:21I lost.
03:21I lost.
03:22I heard they keep you in y'all.
03:25Disrespectful.
03:25Disrespectful.
03:26No, I will say advice for parenting.
03:29Man, A, don't hit him.
03:31Really?
03:31Don't hit him.
03:32Don't whoop him.
03:32Don't hit your baby.
03:33Don't whoop him?
03:33Really?
03:34No, you don't have to.
03:35Talk to him.
03:36When your kids do it, they teach you to be better communicators.
03:39If you hit them, then you're missing out on learning to use your words powerfully.
03:43Talk to them.
03:44Influence them.
03:45And that's a last resort.
03:47And when you hit them, you're going to feel worse than them when you hit them.
03:51I hit my older kids.
03:53I hit my, the first one I hit once.
03:57And my son I hit twice.
03:59And they life.
04:00And it was the last resort.
04:03And it was just whack, one with a belt.
04:05And then whack, whack, he got two.
04:07And what happened was, he did something.
04:10What did he do?
04:12Oh, he did something.
04:14He wasn't listening to his mother.
04:15Right.
04:16And then my daughter was not protecting him.
04:20So she didn't tell him to act right.
04:23Okay.
04:23And so she was like, I didn't do it.
04:26Sean did.
04:27I said, did you see him do it?
04:28Yeah.
04:29I said, well, you're both getting ass with him.
04:31Oh my gosh.
04:32Because you are his keeper.
04:34And you're the elder.
04:34And you should teach him not to do that.
04:37And when you're being disrespectful like that, and you're watching that disrespect, if you
04:40don't check him, then you're missing out on your ass.
04:43So you're going to get half this ass with him.
04:45I like that.
04:46You know, the effective communication.
04:48Yes.
04:49Because again, when we were younger, all you heard was, like, why did I do it?
04:53Because.
04:54Or why you can't do it?
04:54Because I said so.
04:55Our parents try to give us the lesson while they're whooping your ass.
04:59I can't hear you over me screaming, ah, did you hit your sibling?
05:05Don't hit.
05:07Ah.
05:07You understand?
05:09I can't understand.
05:11I can't take in your words as you're whooping my ass.
05:14So, and when I did it.
05:17Yeah.
05:17I like that though.
05:18I felt miserable.
05:20So I'm going to say, like, because that used to be an old thing.
05:23This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.
05:25It does.
05:26I don't know.
05:27Spiritually.
05:27Don't want to hurt, bruh.
05:29Spiritually.
05:29Okay.
05:29It hurts you, yeah.
05:30It hurts you because you see the way your child looks at you.
05:34They look at you different.
05:36You go from being their hero and their best friend.
05:39Yeah, yeah.
05:39To their enemy.
05:41Why would you inflict this kind of pain on my ass and then tell me you love me?
05:47No, you don't.
05:49No, you don't.
05:50No, you don't.
05:51And then one of you going to change my pampers after I whoop your ass out with a daddy.
05:56And you going to be eating pampers by the time they're 25.
05:58See?
05:59I'm just saying.
06:01They going to be changing diapers in college.
06:03I'm not listening to you.
06:04And grown pampers is different than baby pampers.
06:06It really is.
06:07That's an old digestional tract.
06:10It is.
06:10That's 85 years of intestines.
06:14It is.
06:14Meat and pork.
06:16Oh, God.
06:16We're going to change the topic.
06:17Cornbread.
06:19While Elaine's in the building.
06:20So, listen.
06:21You're doing your...
06:21How many specials is this, bruh?
06:24This is number six.
06:25Six specials being shot here in Atlanta in November.
06:28You came to the number three.
06:29Yes, I came to the number three.
06:30You sat right there in the front row.
06:32I remember that.
06:32I remember that.
06:33He was like, this Negro is crazy.
06:36And I shot that one at...
06:38What was that place?
06:39It was like a circular kind of thing at the...
06:43What's the name?
06:44Can you Google when Marlon Way and shot...
06:46Hey, Lexi.
06:49Beedle, Beedle, Beedle.
06:50Can you find out where I shot my third special in Atlanta,
06:55God Loves Me?
06:56What was the...
06:57It might have been down the street.
06:59That's my Google.
06:59That's my chat GTP.
07:01I think it was down the street.
07:02No, no.
07:03Not Cedar Run.
07:04It's a place and it has...
07:05Huh?
07:05Center Stage?
07:06Center Stage.
07:07Center Stage.
07:07Center Stage.
07:07Center Stage.
07:08What's that?
07:08Center Stage.
07:09Center Stage.
07:09I love that place.
07:11Yeah, it is real high.
07:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:13I couldn't just jump down.
07:15I couldn't stand these old ankles.
07:17You got to know what your old ankles going to do.
07:19I ain't doing nothing dumb.
07:20So, Center Stage.
07:22So, this one I'm filming at the Eastern.
07:25Nice.
07:25In Atlanta.
07:26Nice place.
07:26Yeah, it's like a newer venue.
07:29And it's special.
07:30I feel like every special I get better.
07:32I'm coming.
07:32I remember my first special, Woke-ish.
07:34And if I look at the progression of an artist, that's why every year, two years, I like to
07:38do a special.
07:39I like it.
07:40Because by the time people really understand, oh, he's that dude, I'm already that dude.
07:48So, it's not about like trying to, oh, I'm a biggest guy.
07:52No, no, no, no.
07:53I'm just doing the work.
07:54And by the time people realize that who I am and what I am and what I've evolved into,
08:00oh, we ready for these stadiums and these big arenas.
08:05We ready for it.
08:06So, I just like doing the work and every year and a half I do a special because I don't
08:09like saying the same thing.
08:10Right, right, right.
08:11Because I'm a writer.
08:12Yeah.
08:12You know what I'm saying?
08:12I don't just write stand-up.
08:14I write stand-up right in front of an audience.
08:15They don't even know it.
08:16I'm literally writing every time you come to see me because I don't write it down.
08:20I got a thought in my head and go, I'm going to try this out.
08:22How do you come up with all the material?
08:24God made me crazy.
08:26Life.
08:27And now my material, I say I'm getting funny.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Now I feel funny because my material, I write with blood.
08:36I write from the things that hurt me.
08:39And then I go, what's funny about that?
08:41And it's personal.
08:43It's layers of an onion.
08:44And I wouldn't call comedians really funny until you really put down the magnifying
08:50and you start picking up the mirror.
08:52We can talk about life.
08:53I could talk about Trump.
08:54I could talk about Republicans and Democrats.
08:57I could talk about hip-hop.
08:58I could talk about the state of the world.
08:59But can I talk about the thing that hurts me most?
09:04Can I talk about my parents dying and make that funny and relatable?
09:09Can I talk about the things that have broken you and how you put yourself back together?
09:17And the glue that you put yourself back together was humor and God.
09:21And I'm telling you right now, I'm in a very special place in terms of my heart.
09:26I worked it.
09:27I'm not just a comedian, right?
09:30I write movies.
09:32I create television shows.
09:34I've been writing since I was 19 years old.
09:37My TV show, Wayans Brothers, me and Sean created that at the age of like 19 and 20.
09:43We've been monsters.
09:45So right now, stand-up is the thing I did last.
09:48So I was an actor first since I was four years old, just acting and working my craft as a dramatic actor.
09:55Went to performing arts high school.
09:56So by the time I did stand-up, because my brothers wanted me to start at like 17, I was like, nah, y'all do that.
10:02You want to do it?
10:03Because, nah, you got to do it.
10:04No, you do it your way.
10:05I don't want to be you.
10:06I don't want to be you, Damon.
10:09I don't care what you say, Sean.
10:11I'm going to do it my way because I just want to be Marlon.
10:13And then at the age of 38, I started doing stand-up.
10:16And when I started doing stand-up, I was like, oh, this is why I needed to do it earlier.
10:23Right.
10:25Yeah, but you were funny anyway.
10:27That was all instinct.
10:28That's instinct, right?
10:29And I had great instincts as a young man and as a young artist.
10:33But when you start doing stand-up, now you got an audience in your head.
10:37Like, we're doing Scary Movie 6 right now.
10:39And when I'm on set, I'm everything, right?
10:42I'm not just a performer.
10:44I'm a writer.
10:45I'm a producer.
10:46And I'm a shepherder, right?
10:47So I'm sitting there and I'm watching other people's performance.
10:49And I go, oh, no, say that.
10:51You do this line.
10:52Man, say that because this will be funny for that.
10:55And then you can do that.
10:56I can rewrite the stuff that's brilliantly written that we've already crafted and go, how do we make it funnier?
11:01And that's because, I don't know, God just made me crazy and special.
11:06And, you know, I love doing these specials because I like getting rid of material.
11:10And I'm looking forward to the blank canvas, which means I got to write new stuff.
11:15So this special, I think, is my most special special.
11:19I don't have a name for it yet, but we're filming it at center stage in Atlanta.
11:23No, the Eastern.
11:25Oh, I'm sorry.
11:26The other one was the center stage.
11:27Man, well, you listen.
11:28The Eastern.
11:28It's hot here.
11:29Y'all got it hot but cold.
11:31What kind of black air condition is this?
11:33You got it.
11:34You have a whole hoodie and a jacket.
11:37No, y'all got it on 78 degrees.
11:39That is not air condition.
11:42And you got the nerve.
11:43It feel a little cold but hot.
11:44Can you put it on like 72?
11:48So, yeah, we're at the Eastern.
11:50The Eastern.
11:50The Eastern.
11:51Yes.
11:51In Atlanta.
11:52Where part of town is that in?
11:54The Eastern is like, what do they call that over there?
11:57It's kind of downtown, kind of Grand Park.
12:01Eastern?
12:02East side.
12:03East side.
12:03East side.
12:04East side of Atlanta.
12:05I don't know what this means.
12:06I thought you were throwing a gang sign.
12:07No, this is the East side.
12:08Let me throw gang signs at me.
12:09What's the East side?
12:10The East side.
12:11I'm going to East side.
12:12Okay, East side.
12:13So, we're going to film that at East side.
12:15And it's going to be a special night, man.
12:17Absolutely.
12:17Number six.
12:18November 22nd will be a time.
12:20You mentioned the family.
12:22How did it feel to receive the NAACP image with the family?
12:27Yeah.
12:27Because y'all been putting their work.
12:29Y'all been absolutely contributing to the livelihoods of people for quite some time.
12:36You know, I don't.
12:37It felt good to finally not just receive the flowers or the roses, but to smell them.
12:45Yeah.
12:46When you are busy planting trees, it's hard for me to go and smell the roses.
12:52I just don't.
12:53I'm so busy working.
12:55I don't have time.
12:56We never did it for the accolades.
12:58We never did it for the trophies.
12:59We never did it for the statues.
13:01We never did it.
13:02We did it for the culture.
13:03We did it because God sent us here to be this kind of family and this kind of example for
13:10a generation that needed us without us even knowing.
13:14We were just some brothers that just wanted to be funny.
13:16Just a bunch of people that grew up really poor and was like, here's what's funny about
13:21our neighborhood and the people that we've met along the way.
13:23God conditions every artist a certain way, but with our family and our perspective and
13:30our point of view, it was needed for the culture and we didn't even know we was doing it.
13:36So sometimes you just set out on a journey to do simply.
13:40We just want to make people laugh.
13:42I love it.
13:43It wasn't that we was trying to, you know, we wanted to see the influence.
13:45Keenan would always be like, you know what you should do, Jim Carrey, if you want to be
13:49great, you should write.
13:51You know, Marlon, you could be, you've got to be an unstoppable force of nature.
13:55J-Lo, you're not just a Puerto Rican with a big ass in the voice.
13:59You're a brand.
14:00He made us believe in ourselves.
14:02I love it.
14:02And so when we did, got the award, I wanted to, and Damon wanted to pay homage to who taught
14:10us how to do it.
14:11And, you know, these are his flowers and his roses.
14:14Right.
14:14And, you know, I'm still in the peak moments of what I'm doing.
14:18I'm still, I'm still active.
14:20You know, my volcano is spilling lava right now.
14:23And I just want to pay homage to him.
14:26Let him know that, you know, how much he meant to the, to the culture and how much he meant
14:29to us.
14:30And so shout out to my big brother, Keenan, my big brother, Damon, my big sister, Kim,
14:35my big brother, Sean.
14:36And I don't receive credit until, you know, I got that next generation going, eh, Uncle
14:44Marlon, man, he's just chilling right now.
14:46Right.
14:46You know, and you know what he did?
14:48He did this and he did that.
14:49And I'm like, I did all that.
14:50Like, I'm on my sixth special.
14:52You did.
14:52Some people don't do six specials in a lifetime.
14:54Right.
14:54I already know what special I want to do next.
14:57I know the special after that.
14:58And I know the special after that.
14:59Those are the three things in my head.
15:01So that's why, yeah, I want to get this special done.
15:04It don't take me, a lot of artists, it takes them two, three years to tour the material to
15:09find it and go, here's the set.
15:11It don't take me that long.
15:12I swear to you, I can write it and rehearse it.
15:15And in three months, I can film a special.
15:17Wow.
15:18Because in my head, I'm writing and I'm performing and I'm not, I don't have to remember.
15:22I remember scripts.
15:24Right.
15:24I remember TV shows.
15:25I remember, I write them and then like we're doing Scary Movie 6.
15:30I get the set, I look at my lines, all right, let's go.
15:32I know it.
15:33I wrote it.
15:34I know what, we know what it is.
15:35Right.
15:35So when it comes to like this standup thing, because I write movies and I write TV and I,
15:39that I, I could write it right in front of people and then perform it and remember it.
15:45I don't sit there and go, if I put this here, no, in my brain, I write it and then I go,
15:51oh, let me put that here.
15:52This works better here.
15:53Oh, that joke I'm going to do tonight.
15:55I'm going to try that out.
15:56Oh man, that's a good sequence.
15:58And it's a crazy process, but only I know it.
16:01And hopefully God, I don't get Alzheimer's because man, all my, all my stuff is in my
16:09head.
16:10Because you don't write it down.
16:10I don't write it down.
16:11That's crazy.
16:13Speaking of legacy and family, Damon Wayans Jr. was up here.
16:17He said the family just do not listen to his ideas initially.
16:21Is that true?
16:22No, he was, he was really serious.
16:23He's just off.
16:26I love little Damon, but he don't have the same mind we got.
16:29We some project Negro, right?
16:31Born and raised poor.
16:33We don't understand his private school rich ass point of view.
16:37Here's a rich man to join the gang.
16:39Why are you joining the gang?
16:40You got money.
16:42The gang want money.
16:43Why are you joining the gang?
16:45What's wrong with you?
16:46You got it back with your daddy working hard like he working.
16:49So you didn't put you in Beverly Hills.
16:51You the Beverly Hills crypt.
16:53Why?
16:54I don't understand him.
16:56And he's super smart.
16:57Like the next generation I feel is way more special than the first generation.
17:04Then my, my brothers that did it before.
17:07I said, I'm like the linchpin because I'm the baby of our generation, but I'm the eldest
17:11of the next generation.
17:13So I understand that these kids, my kids are educated.
17:18They went to school for what?
17:21For, for their craft.
17:22They went to private schools.
17:24My son just graduated Loyola Marymount.
17:26My other child graduated USC.
17:29Both of them went honors.
17:30Man, I went to Howard for like six months and was like, I'm out.
17:33I got an opportunity to make more than a teacher.
17:35I'm out.
17:36Yo lessons.
17:37We ain't on.
17:39No, not loud.
17:40Okay, good.
17:40Okay.
17:40If you can get it.
17:42Yo lessons, teachers.
17:43You Dr. Simmons.
17:45I think that's his name.
17:46You hating.
17:46So here's the thing, right?
17:50I got, we did it as a hustle.
17:54Our kids and my thing right now is building industry.
17:58My brother taught us to be great farmers and agriculturalists.
18:01My thing is industry.
18:03That's what I'm trying to do with this baton that I have.
18:06And then from there, they're going to do philanthropy and education, but our kids are so much more dynamic and funnier than us because they're just a lot smarter than we can ever be.
18:21And they have the comfort of their own creativity to be like, I don't want to be like Uncle Keenan.
18:27I don't want to be like Uncle Marlon.
18:28I don't want to be like my dad.
18:29I don't want to be, I want to be like me.
18:33My kids don't even want to do comedy.
18:35They funny as hell.
18:36They writing horror.
18:39Not horror comedy.
18:40They're writing horror.
18:41My son and Sean's daughter are going to be directors and they work together.
18:46Like I got a whole tribe of little Damon.
18:50Mikey's a writer.
18:51Craig is a writer and a producer.
18:53You got Damien who's a writer, producer, actor.
18:56We have a whole tribe of people, you know, to do it.
19:00God bless Tyler Perry.
19:01That brother do it all by himself.
19:02I think he type with his feet.
19:04Tyler, if he got an attention, he is writing on his feet, typing letters one at a time.
19:12That brother, God bless him because he's doing it dolo.
19:17He's doing it dolo.
19:18We got all these hands and feet and fingers.
19:20Oh, we got great things to do.
19:23Great things to do.
19:25And I said that with all due respect, Tyler Perry.
19:28In Atlanta, I don't want to get jumped.
19:30I know y'all love you some Tyler out here.
19:33I only jumped by a bunch of 65-year-old church-grown women.
19:36I love Tyler Perry too.
19:38Please, Lord.
19:38Forgive him.
19:39Forgive him.
19:40Walter Wayne's, I guess, is one of the big ticket on the show with Jazzy McBee.
19:43So we got the special November 22nd.
19:46You're shooting Scary Movie 6 here in Atlanta.
19:48Yes, sir.
19:48It's going to be special.
19:50Lots of people really want this second White Chicks movie.
19:54I've heard you say something about AI.
19:57Well, here's the thing.
19:58Y'all don't understand how hard that movie was.
20:01Seven hours of makeup every day.
20:04And then we work 14 hours afterward.
20:07Oh, okay.
20:08You know what I'm saying?
20:09I got to spend seven hours to become a white woman.
20:12I feel bad for white women.
20:14Why does it take you so long to get your...
20:16You know, I'm going to do Black Man the movie.
20:20I'm doing Black Man where I go to makeup and hair for five minutes
20:24and then I work a regular 12-hour shift.
20:29We did seven hours of makeup and then work 14 hours after that
20:33because we forced our call because we was producing the movie
20:36and the only way we'd get the movie done for that budget
20:38was me and Sean couldn't sleep.
20:40So out of the 65 days that we filmed,
20:4257 of those days I was in makeup.
20:45So I slept three hours a night, two hours a night
20:49for 50-something days.
20:51That's great.
20:52So when you talk about...
20:53I'm waiting for AI to catch up
20:54so I can wear that makeup one or two times
20:57and then AI is like, oh, no.
21:00I can do the scene dressed in my character
21:02and I can just do them this way
21:05and AI is going to do all the makeup
21:08and I ain't got to sit in seven hours of makeup.
21:10So that's when we'll do White Chips 2
21:12and we're talking about it.
21:13Okay.
21:14We're talking about it.
21:15I feel like the culture needs the humor.
21:20We do.
21:21We really do.
21:22I'm telling you.
21:22And not just us, our children.
21:24Yeah, man.
21:24They have been suffocated.
21:26They don't have no...
21:27They don't have no real humor that's like...
21:30We had to live in color.
21:32We had SNL at its peak.
21:35We had, you know, All in the Family.
21:37Right.
21:37We had the Jeffersons.
21:39We had, you know...
21:40So, let me ask you this question.
21:42They had Wayans Brothers.
21:43We had the culture with Jamie Foxx.
21:45We had Martin.
21:46What they...
21:47Life is so different now.
21:48Do you ever see a return to edgy comedy like that?
21:54You wait until you see Scary Movie 6.
21:56I know that's right.
21:57These old uncles don't give a...
22:01Uncle and aunties don't give a...
22:03And that's what I'm trying to tell these kids.
22:05We don't give a...
22:06And that's what the whole thing is.
22:08Because the whole conversation that we're having in the movie is because, you know, Sean and Regina and Anna, the old school came back.
22:16This is a legacy.
22:17Nice.
22:18And now we got the new generation.
22:20And so we get to...
22:22They calling us aunts and aunties.
22:24And, you know, we snapping on them.
22:26I mean, it's like one big roast session.
22:28Oh, my God.
22:29Everybody's going to get it.
22:30And we're going to have a good time.
22:31I can't wait.
22:32For generations.
22:32You could go with your kids and be laughing because you like...
22:36Yeah, that's how I feel about that.
22:37I can't wait.
22:38I cannot wait.
22:38Y'all going to have a good time, so...
22:40I'm not concerned about the cancel word.
22:42Cancel me.
22:43You know what cancel means?
22:44When it comes to a comedian, cancel means you a...
22:47And you shouldn't be at my show in the first place.
22:48If you a...
22:50And you too sensitive, keep your...
22:53I don't want your money.
22:55I don't want your popcorn.
22:56Stay the...
22:57We coming to the theater to have a good time.
22:59We coming to the theater to laugh.
23:00Yeah, to laugh, man.
23:01We coming to the theater to do what we haven't done in years, which is leave the theater going,
23:05whoo, I feel good.
23:07I want to see that again.
23:09Tears coming out.
23:09Your back hurting.
23:10Stomach hurting.
23:11And I know that the people...
23:12This is not reality.
23:15This cancel culture.
23:16This is not reality.
23:17You understand that the reality that we have, we're living in a different dimension because
23:21we're living in our phones.
23:23So the phone is feeding you, and the social media is feeding you the agenda that somebody
23:30is programming our people to feel.
23:33Do you understand?
23:34So other bots from other countries control social media.
23:38China, Russia control the social media.
23:41They put this narrative into our country, which is free speech, America's freedom of speech.
23:48That's what we live on.
23:49That's what we thrive on.
23:50And now, because social media said it, the media is lazy, and they hold the same power
23:55they hold.
23:55So they take...
23:56And whatever they say on X or Instagram, that becomes a story.
24:00And they feed that.
24:01And then they feed that on the media.
24:03And the media feeds that to the networks, to the executives.
24:07And the executives go, you can't say that.
24:10So then they feed that to the people.
24:13Like, hey, humor is gone.
24:15You can't say that because you will be canceled.
24:18And then you got me that goes on stage every week and saying the craziest things that I
24:22can think of.
24:23And you got guys like Chappelle that speaks his mind and says, no, this is what we're
24:30supposed to do.
24:31And we're reprogramming guys like Chris Rock and, you know, the great comedians.
24:37At some point, that is what we do as artists is we protect our voice.
24:42We protect our First Amendment, freedom of speech.
24:45And if you're going to cancel me for reminding you of what you should be, free speech and
24:51freedom of thought, cancel me.
24:53Because those are people, if you're going to get mad at the joke, you're sensitive.
24:57You ever crack a joke on somebody and they get mad at you and you go, well, let me double
25:03down on that fat joke.
25:04You're right.
25:07I wasn't going to say nothing about how you look like a biscuit after you touch it on
25:11the side and a pop and your gut popping out the side of your stomach.
25:14I wasn't going to say that.
25:16I'm thinking it.
25:17I like when people get sensitive because I double down.
25:19And in our audience and when I do comedy, I don't care.
25:24I'm supposed to do this.
25:25This is how God made me.
25:27I'm supposed to be this vessel.
25:29My job is to make y'all laugh.
25:30And there are casualties to every war.
25:34And my elixir is laughter and love.
25:36So, if I lose a few people, so be it.
25:39Here's the thing.
25:41If I crack a joke and there's a thousand people in the room and 958 people laugh at that joke,
25:51right?
25:52And 42 people get up and walk out.
25:55Well, that's 42 people.
26:00They sensitive and they shouldn't be in a show in the first place.
26:04Never come to a comedy show again.
26:06Now, if I do a joke and 42 people stay and 550, 60, I don't know my math.
26:15You know, I went to public school.
26:16My nephew would figure this out.
26:17But 42, 58 people, 558 people stay.
26:24And I know that don't match what I said in the first place.
26:27So, 42, 48.
26:30Well, put it in the same way.
26:30Most of the people laugh.
26:31If a thousand, 900, and 42, 958 people get up and leave, then, hey, that was a really bad show.
26:44But the 42 people that stay, you go, but they laughing.
26:47There's something in it.
26:49And that's the way comedians think because we're trying to perfect the joke.
26:53So, just because you get upset don't mean that that joke is bad.
26:57It just means that I got to work that joke because I made 42 people laugh.
27:01And it's time and it's experience and it's fearless.
27:04You have to be fearless.
27:05And when we're writing scary movie, I'm fearless.
27:07I'm not thinking about, oh, they're going to feel, I don't give a ****.
27:10I go out, they're going to laugh.
27:11Right.
27:12They're going to laugh.
27:13All the way into the building, ladies and gentlemen.
27:15How did you feel that the reaction to you in him, in the movie him, was all over the place.
27:23It was real critical at first and then it was like, no, this is amazing.
27:26And then other people were like, no, it was crazy.
27:29How did you receive that?
27:30Like, I receive all my other movies, man.
27:33Like, I didn't produce this.
27:35It was Jordan Peele who produced this.
27:36And Justin Tipping, who I really feel is a visionary.
27:40I feel like some art is over people's hands.
27:44Sometimes, just because they don't get you, it doesn't mean that what you did wasn't great art.
27:50Art is to be interpreted.
27:51And once again, people are sheep.
27:54Sometimes, you're just ahead of the curve.
27:56Sometimes, you're in the future.
27:58So, if you listen to the people that, and the critics, don't see me.
28:02I have nothing but respect for critics.
28:03They got a job.
28:04And their job is to critique.
28:05But sometimes comedy is subjective.
28:07It is.
28:08They may not get the joke.
28:09Right.
28:10They're not raised like you.
28:11They may not get the humor.
28:12Exactly.
28:13You know what I mean?
28:13It's like, but when it comes to the art, you just got to go and throw it out there.
28:18And then they'll discover it later.
28:19And all those movies that they said was terrible and trash are don't be a menace.
28:25Scary movie.
28:26Scary movie 2.
28:27Haunted House.
28:28People still like, when are you doing a 3?
28:32They ain't got to get it.
28:33You got to go see it so that you can get it.
28:36And it was art.
28:37And it was dramatic, psychological horror thriller.
28:40And it was art.
28:41It was beautifully shot.
28:42It was wonderfully acted.
28:45You know, I thought it was wonderfully produced.
28:48No movie is perfect.
28:50You know, people are like, oh, but the ending.
28:51Hey, man, that's for interpretation.
28:53Now we got the alternate ending.
28:55Go check out him on Amazon right now.
28:58And you formulate your own opinion.
29:00And what felt good, like for me, no matter what people had said about the movie,
29:05they all agreed that, you know, they appreciated my dramatic turn.
29:10Okay.
29:11And for me, and they appreciate all the acting.
29:15And I'm like, if y'all appreciate the acting, then please appreciate the director.
29:20Because he bought those performances out of each and every one of us.
29:23So credit to Justin Tippin.
29:25You're a visionary and I can't wait to work with you again.
29:28You're the future.
29:28Sometimes in the future, you know, they don't get you until the world got to catch up to you.
29:34And when you see this movie, you're going to be like, yo, it's different.
29:37Okay.
29:38Nice.
29:39My man Marlon's in the building.
29:40All right.
29:41You're a daddy now.
29:42You're at home.
29:42Yeah.
29:43And you're Amazon and chill.
29:44Please believe that tonight.
29:46I want you to make baby number two after him.
29:48Hey, get my hand back.
29:49Come on, short shot.
29:50Come on, make a second grand baby.
29:52Make a second grand baby.
29:53You golfing yet?
29:55Yes.
29:56Take a wood.
29:57See?
29:57Take a wood.
29:58Let me go out.
29:59We go out one day.
29:59Come on, absolutely.
30:00I'm down for that.
30:01Yeah, yeah.
30:01I smoke some of my cigars.
30:02By the way, I got a cigar company, Liga Tridente.
30:04Y'all make sure you try my cigars.
30:06You don't smoke cigars?
30:07I don't.
30:07We going to smoke one day.
30:08We going to smoke these cigars.
30:09Liga Tridente.
30:10You can buy them on MarlonWayne.com or Fox Cigars.
30:13But everybody's loving them.
30:14And I didn't make some BS.
30:16I mean, we rolled some really great sticks.
30:18Amen.
30:19Well, I was in the building.
30:20Listen, I'm happy that I continue to see you and survive.
30:23Yes.
30:24I heard the story about, you know, you keep running into people and then they don't make
30:28it.
30:29The Biggie and Tupac story.
30:30Oh, man.
30:31Woo-hoo.
30:32You know how many times people died?
30:33And I'm like, man, I feel sorry for them brothers.
30:37I saw them.
30:39I saw Biggie and Tupac.
30:40I remember you said that.
30:41Literally 20 minutes before both of them got shot.
30:43That's crazy.
30:44I went over.
30:45What did that do for you, though?
30:47It made me go, hey, my mom made me make some good decisions.
30:51Because I almost got in the car with Pac and them.
30:53Because we took a cab.
30:54And that BMW looked real good.
30:56I was salivating.
30:58There ain't nobody in them back two seats.
31:01Nobody.
31:02We could jump in there with Pac.
31:03And I was like, oh, sugar's in there.
31:05I don't know about that element.
31:06And we was like, and we went over, gave Pac a hug.
31:10Me and Omar Epps and my other friend, Mitch.
31:13Went over, we gave him love.
31:14We talked for a second.
31:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:15We going to the party.
31:17I was after the fight.
31:18We going to the after party.
31:19He was like, you want to?
31:20I was like, nah, nah.
31:21He was like, we taking a cab.
31:22Okay.
31:23And I was like, we are?
31:25But that's a BMW.
31:26You wanted to get in.
31:28Yeah, we want to show up with Pac at whatever the Spades Club was.
31:34And then I was like, oh, sugar's there.
31:35Yeah, and we didn't get in.
31:37We wasn't invited.
31:40And then 20 minutes later, we heard he got shot.
31:41That's great.
31:42Biggie, I'm on the escalator with Biggie leaving the Automotive Museum after the party, the vibe party.
31:50And he's like, oh, I love your brothers, your whole family.
31:53I love what y'all do.
31:55I was on the show one time, but I can't wait to do it again.
32:00I love Wayne's brother.
32:01He was just giving us our love.
32:02And then he got in the car and then bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
32:0520 minutes later.
32:07And it's funny because I have a picture of Pac and Biggie, the famous one, of them at Glam Slam that night that they were together.
32:17They were friends before the beef.
32:20And in the background of the picture, I'm sitting there and I'm twisting my head, looking at them, take this picture.
32:27Because Pac invited me down to Glam Slam because we just did Above the Rim together.
32:32And he invited me down to Glam Slam to hang out with him and Biggie.
32:34That's crazy.
32:36Yes.
32:36So my point of my story is 20 minutes after I leave here, y'all going to get shot.
32:41No, it ain't.
32:42No, it ain't.
32:42And my thing is that I was nice to know you, kid.
32:45And the energy is reflecting back to that.
32:47And it's really nice to meet you.
32:48I've been running to you.
32:49You got all that red on, too.
32:51That's a gang color.
32:52No, the devil is a liar.
32:52That's a gang color.
32:54And all of that energy is returned back to you.
32:56I do not accept that.
32:58In the name of Jesus, I am in the higher power.
32:59Ain't nobody going to shoot you.
33:00Stop it.
33:01Absolutely.
33:02God is good.
33:03Well, the ways I guess we get you out of here on this.
33:04We play this game called One's Gotta Go.
33:06It's a challenging choice for you.
33:07Don't do this.
33:08You're going to make me have enemies.
33:09Please don't do this.
33:11We have to do it.
33:12I hate when y'all do this.
33:13I know just a little bit.
33:14Because, man.
33:15Oh, come on.
33:16I lose friends.
33:17Every time this happens, because I can't help but tell the truth.
33:20Come on.

34:30Don't be a menace.
34:31And Little Man.
34:32So, wait.
34:33This is some daffy duck.
34:37No, no.
34:38This is rabbit season, duck season.
34:40So, I'm supposed to turn the gun on myself?
34:43Bow.
34:43Shoot my own beak off?
34:45What kind of question is this?
34:47Didn't I say that energy turned back to you?
34:49Wow.
34:50I rebuke you in the name of God and Jesus and the devil is a lie.
34:57The devil is a lie and I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
35:02Like how I turned the back on your ass?
35:03No, no, no.
35:04All that is coming right back.
35:06That's what you get.
35:07All right.
35:07Go on.
35:07Say it again.
35:08White Chicks.
35:10Scary movie.
35:11Don't be a menace and Little Man.
35:13Little Man got to go.
35:14Bye, Little Man.
35:14She's showing her little face.
35:16Pow.
35:16You like it better than Don't be a menace?
35:18No, no, no.
35:19No.
35:19So, I like all of them.
35:20That's not what I thought you were going to say.
35:21Come on.
35:22Yeah.
35:23I thought you were going to say White Chicks only because you didn't sleep.
35:25Oh, you're crazy.
35:25White Chicks is a classic because you didn't sleep.
35:27It's all of my classics.
35:29No, fuck that movie.
35:30Fuck the experience in that movie.
35:31But the check was great.
35:33Little Man was hard, too.
35:34I acted by myself.
35:35I love Little Man, too.
35:37Listen, I acted by myself.
35:38They filmed, my brother, Sean, and the cast, they filmed with this little dude, Linden
35:43Corporal, or Poker, or whatever the name is, little dude, about that little.
35:46Right.
35:46Swear to God, little dude.
35:48And they had to put your face on it.
35:50Yeah, and they put my face on his body.
35:52But when I acted, nobody was around.
35:54It's just me in a swivel chair trying to do his motions.
35:57His motions.
35:58Oh, that had to be hard, too.
35:59So, the process of that movie.
36:01And then pound for pound, if I'm going to be honest, joke-wise, Don't Be a Menace, scary
36:07movie.
36:08Yeah.
36:09And White Chicks are funnier movies, to me.
36:13Okay.
36:14Yeah.
36:14To me.
36:15All right.
36:15Okay.
36:16What?
36:17I like edgier humor.
36:19Okay.
36:19Little Man was like, you know, PG-13.
36:20That was funny to me.
36:22You were watching with your kids.
36:24You know, I like when he shitting out the diamond.
36:25There was definitely some funny stuff in there.
36:27It was funny.
36:28It was hilarious.
36:29I like the nursey-nursey.
36:30You know, it was funny.
36:31It was good.
36:32I mean, if I got to choose, what do y'all think of Little Man, White Chicks?
36:36Little Man got to go.
36:37Little Man got to go.
36:38Little Man got to go.
36:40Don't be a menace.
36:41White Chicks, if it's on a problem, and he got a USSR missile?
36:47That was funny, too.
36:48He got a missile in the back of his mail truck.
36:52Come on.
36:53It was a lot.
36:54It was a lot of funnier than that one.
36:55That was crazy.
36:56Believe it.
36:57My brother, good to see you.
36:59Always good to see you, for sure.
36:59That was just one and done.
37:01For sure, that was it.
37:01All the rest of us under the bus.
37:03No, no, no.
37:04That was it.
37:05Yes, absolutely.
37:06I was.
37:06See where I gave you the gentle hand?
37:07You did.
37:07You did.
37:08I thank you.
37:08You see how I put my hand out there?
37:09You see it?
37:10Okay.
37:10Don't shake his hand.
37:11This man is the damn time.
37:13Why you shake my hand like that?
37:14Like it was a job interview.
37:17How you doing, sir?
37:18No, don't do that.
37:18Crush my hand.
37:19I said, uh-uh.
37:20You get knuckles dap from now on.
37:22You get dap.
37:22Oh, last one.
37:23Are you happy, sad, excited about the final season of Bel-Air?
37:27You shook my hand so hard.
37:29I forget.
37:30I swear, I'm going to stick my finger in my ass and give you dap like this, and then
37:34snap it at the end with the stink finger.
37:37You go.
37:38This is the one last.
37:39Hat.
37:40One last one.
37:41One last one.
37:41I got something for this nigga.
37:43Ha ha!
37:44Hat.
37:45So stupid.
37:46I cannot.
37:47Are you excited, happy, sad about the final season of Bel-Air?
37:51I'm sad about the final season of Bel-Air, which I'm on.
37:58Lou is coming back for a final episode.
38:00Come on, Lou.
38:01I think it's the Thanksgiving episode.
38:02I just got to keep showing people moves to the basket.
38:05Like, yo, I'm not just a comedian.
38:07I'm not just an actor.
38:09I do it all.
38:09I'm trying to be the Robin Williams of our culture.
38:13I like guys like Eddie Murphy, who's so versatile, and Jim Carrey.
38:17And I just want to be able to do it all.
38:18And the audience goes, I know it's going to be good because I know he's going to be good
38:22in it.
38:23Right.
38:23So, yeah, I'm sad because I think anytime I see something of color go, it makes me sad.
38:30I know.
38:31Because I know what it is to try and get something on the air, how to keep it on the air.
38:37And I know how much our culture needs it.
38:40And what's sad is the people that's canceling us don't even understand that they need it
38:46too.
38:47I see where you're trying to take your business, and I appreciate that.
38:50But when you fail, you're going to come right back to the culture because you know that
38:57we feed the culture.
39:00And it always happens.
39:02It always happens.
39:03They start with black, and then they rinse all the black out, and they try the white,
39:08and they realize we need that black again.
39:10We do.
39:11Happens every time.
39:12It happened with Fox.
39:13It happened with WB.
39:15It's always going to happen like that.
39:17And they understand that our stories are relevant, our humor is relevant, our pain is relevant,
39:23and it's not just for black people.
39:26It will cross every race, every demographic.
39:33It's just, I hate to see it go.
39:35But I understand that when things go, it's because you're evolving to somewhere new.
39:40So for all the cast and crew, and the producers, of course, Will Smith and everybody, Belair,
39:47just do what the Wayneses have always done.
39:49One door closes, a thousand others open.
39:52And I think every last single one, that cast is super talented.
39:56I know I got to show up and bring my A-game because I know Jabari coming for me.
40:00I know Adrian coming for me.
40:02I know the whole crew, they coming for me because they know I ain't coming to play.
40:06I know that's right.
40:07And so when you see our scenes, every moment is a moment.
40:11And I'm proud of Will's company for producing it and NBC for giving it a shot.
40:19And I'm grateful for the years that it was on.
40:21And, you know, what I'm really pissed off about is canceling Marlon.
40:26Belair, cancel that.
40:27But you canceled Marlon?
40:29I'm sorry, that just came out of nowhere.
40:31What I meant to say was, you can have two black shows on the air.
40:37That's the same thing.
40:38No, but honestly, Marlon was one I was confused.
40:41I was scratching my head.
40:42Why would you cancel that?
40:43That was a good show.
40:44It was a good show, man.
40:45But once again, one door closes.
40:48Another one opens.
40:49God opens all these other doors.
40:50Amen.
40:50And I don't, ever since Marlon, I've done, I don't know how many movies I've done and
40:55how many other TV shows I've done and how many more stand-up specials I've done.
40:59I just keep doing.
41:00And I want the audience to know, don't sit there and when things don't happen or things
41:05are canceled, don't start licking your wounds and looking at that door and go, woe is me.
41:10Look around and look at all the other doors God has opened for you.
41:14And if you don't see no doors, see that blank wall, go kick a hole in it.
41:19I know that's right.
41:19Create your own door.
41:21I love it.
41:22Leave him with bars.
41:23Take that to your face.
41:24Marlon Wayans, see me at the Eastern at November 22nd, filming my special here in the A.
41:32I may move here.
41:33You are?
41:34I will, but I can't.
41:36Why?
41:37You can't.
41:37There's too many beautiful.
41:38What do you like about Atlanta?
41:41I'm going to have me a.
41:43Other than the women.
41:43A neck brace and some, what do you call it?
41:46So I'm on my, I don't want to see it.
41:48Why?
41:48Everybody got an a** out here.
41:50I don't want to see it.
41:51I'm tired of it.
41:51Everybody don't have a a**.
41:52Tired of it.
41:53Tired of it.
41:54Other than the women.
41:55Women.
41:56It's beautiful.
41:57Too beautiful.
41:58But I do love the A.
41:59I love the culture.
41:59I love the people.
42:00I love seeing black excellence.
42:03I think this is the home of it.
42:04And, you know, coming down here, I feel inspired and motivated.
42:09It makes me want to sit on a porch and go, what else am I going to conquer today?
42:13So, shout out to the A.
42:15Y'all may be inheriting me from New York City.
42:17Come on.
42:18Come on.
42:19Everybody lives here anyway.
42:20I want to come out here and build industry.
42:21Yeah, that would be beautiful.
42:23I think so.
42:24For sure.
42:24No, seriously.
42:25And then I'll bring my little grandbaby.
42:29Play with your grandbaby.
42:30Old daddies.
42:32Old daddies.
42:34Old daddies.
42:35I'm not talking to him.
42:35Our kids didn't swim.
42:36They just kind of floated.
42:40Floated to the A.
42:44It black floated to the A.
42:46Get the backstroke.
42:47In one of those floaties with a margarita.
42:50Rita and it touched the air.
42:51Wall of Wings is our guest.
42:53But you're on the lookout for Scary Movie 6.
42:55And again, November 22nd at the Eastern.
42:58His sixth comedy special is going down.
43:00We'll be back with more of Me and McBee right after this on V103.
