Nah? I was. I was more or less like when I saw Get Out. I didn't like the way I looked, but and it wasn't necessary the physical part. It was just like, you know, you could see how I know it was a great moment, but I could see how sad I was. Even when I was doing a real show, I was still trying to figure things out. It wasn't until I went to therapy for real, Shola man, And it was like, Damn, I really buried so much ship that I didn't even know that was buried. And then you come from the crib from Chicago. Even some of the stuff that I grew up seeing, I normalized it, and that ship was affecting me. So until I went to therapy and really talked this ship out, I didn't realize I had all that shit going on.

Also to you, I'm trying to make a show to impress black people, which is so fucking tough to do. Lord, have mercy, you know. I learned a big lesson from there. You just gotta creatively do what you do because you're not. Everybody always gonna find something wrong with something, you know what I'm saying, So, like I learned a lot from doing a real show. It's even just learning to like delegate better. You know, a lot of times you saw me because I was always thinking about what I had to do. So I learned a lot. I mean, like betwe once again, between therapy and then owning a lot of stuff, like I do everything so much better. I'm a better person on every set I own. I bring better energy. Even that sometimes I was overdoing my blackness sometimes, like on sets like yeah, you ain't gonna take me what to say, you know, and all that shit, and it's like, well, you're doing too much. So going to therapy made me literally overanalyze myself and own a lot of my bullshit.

Was sad too, That's that's a very specific word.

Now I was. I was hurting because I was going through a divorce, like rou Don't Get Out was Carmichael show, and so going through a divorce trying to figure out you know, I think most dads don't talk about this, but when you know the kids are with your mom, and they was with the mom and they was with you and now you by yourself. Man, that's an adjustment. And most men don't talk about it, you know, because everybody think, are you out here back? You know, because most you know, the baby mom's like are you here living it up? And then it like no, I'm like laying in their rooms because I miss them. I'm sad as fuck because I don't have that energy around anymore, you know what I'm saying. So I was really I was really sad and I had to really when I talked to my therapist about it, I had to open up about stuff that I didn't even know that was buried like that, and to.

That's what I learned. So and I don't I never saw you take a break.

That's what I learned. So and I don't I never saw you take a break.

Nope. Yeah, I mean if you think about that time I was doing, like I mean, look, this is about it, Like I don't get enough credit, Like I'll be looking at it like I was literally talking to I was doing the interview yesterday. I was talking about how I saw one of those pictures with all the comedians on there, you know, like you know these and I'm like, how the hell I'm never owned these lists? Like I to get out, I did like thirty movies. How many stand up comics have done that? Which specials and had a sitcom? So I can't make none of these lists.

We'll tell me who the list is first.

We'll tell me who the list is first.

Now you know what it is. It's the same people. It's the picture with with the greats on there, Eddie Richard, the King's all those guys, Chris Dave Kevin, Eddie Griffith, I saw Jay Farrell and there they had Gerard on there, Martin. You know the list. But it's like, if you think about it, when you look as totality as a resume, I don't know how many of those guys, even the ones who's great, match it with my resume.

Now you know what it is. It's the same people.

Why do you feel like they don't put you on the list.

Why do you feel like they don't put you on the list.

I don't. I don't know. Sometimes I feel like either either I've made it look really easy because I mean like I'm still a beast on stage, like it ain't like any audience person to come see me, lie, because sometimes I always surprise my audiences because some of them only see me in movies and they be like, damn, you're hysterical. I'm like, yeah, I'm a really good stand up comic.

It hasn't even been ten years.

Yeah, but think about this, if you truly look at I literally did it in such an old school, like I would at least think my people will at least push because I, like, I came from the chilling circuit. I did it literally step by step. I was on Comic View.

Yeah, but think about this, if you truly look at I literally did it in such an old school, like I would at least think my people will at least push because I, like, I came from the chilling circuit. I did it literally step by step. I was on Comic View.

But if you didn't a plan.

But if you didn't a plan.

But then but that's what I'm saying, like even that, like, but they still put them on these lists, Like I think, honestly, it has to come from the other comedians, right, And I've never from the other comics, Like comics that text me. I have comics that would never tweet or instagram. They love my specials, but they'll text me, And that to me, that's the part of that. Like weird, it is a clickie thing. Some of this stuff is a little clubby, but like I don't know, I think. And also to it's on me a little bit where when I had the heat on me, like like extremely on me, I didn't necessarily want to press for it. And that's because I was in a place where not necessarily just sad. But I don't know, I just didn't feel I didn't want them to see me. That's that's real shit. I didn't want that because I wasn't I didn't like the I didn't like how it felt, even though things was going great, because think about that we get out, dude, I should have been on some magazine covers. I could have did that stuff. I was just like, let the work speak for itself. Let me just stand it back.

You know.

You know.

Culturally though, like culturally I felt like, you know, that character't get Out was a big deal.

Culturally though, like culturally I felt like, you know, that character't get Out was a big deal.

I've done some culture things like even just being on and secure that's a big culture thing, even like doing movies like Judas in the Black Messiah, like being a part of I've been a part of some really powerful moments, like even when Jay did his four four four album and that and when we did that we did that music video the Black Friends, and it was me eas Like I've been a part of some really cool things. I just never participated in hyping myself up like I should have.

It is interesting, right, and I'll be having these conversations sometimes, like when I look at like you and Gerard called Michael, y'all had everything right, Like y'all had the sitcoms, the HBO specials, the big movies.

It is interesting, right, and I'll be having these conversations sometimes, like when I look at like you and Gerard called Michael, y'all had everything right, Like y'all had the sitcoms, the HBO specials, the big movies.

But then it's still don't.

Cut through like connect like a eighty five South show or a Duvall or.

Cut through like connect like a eighty five South show or a Duvall or.

Well that's true and not true. It's just spaces for everything, right. And so like you think about Carmichael Show, that's still a very well loved show, like so many people still talk about it and still like approach me about it. But once again, Girard is kind of like me too. I think until we saw like Gerard, we're seeing I'm coming to his own too. Now he's a lot more open about everything than he's ever been. You know, we saw that by the time we got to Rock Thaniel. You know what I'm saying, That's why he had his moment, That's why he wanted in me. That's why you saw him getting more attention with that. And so I think that might be my season now, to be quite honest with you, cause now I'm like, you know, some like I'm such a nerd as shit. I purposely did everything I did so I could be one of the greatest. I wanted to sit KWN with my name on it on Network TV that all that shit was done on purpose. Even just the way I did the movies, it's based off like what Bernie Mack did. Like if I get one small role, it's like Bernie, I killed any role, Okay, real, make sure even if it's small, be memorable, you know what I'm saying. So, but now I'm in a place now even just like even just having a great PR team I have. Now, this is the most I've ever been. But I feel good, I'm happy, and I believe in myself for real. So maybe I'm comfortable showing people who I am.

Yeah, But I also think it's like you said, is being seen right if you think of some of the comedians that you name, Yeah, see them all the time. But it's not just see them on billboards. You see them at the game, you see them at these events. You see them all the time, and you picture and you see them all the time. Even in the newspapers. You see them all the time.

But it connect because I feel good though, and be like I'm telling you, I'm really confident and I'm so happy because almost like I feel I'm excited about letting people feel my energy. But at that time I didn't, and almost some of that stuff I didn't know if I felt like I deserved.

It in pasta syndrome.

Yeah I was. I was in a weird place, and I could be honest about that. At the time, I could even admit to that, even when like Gerardine could tell someone was going on and I couldn't articulate it to my friends what was going on yet because I didn't understand.

Yeah I was. I was in a weird place, and I could be honest about that. At the time, I could even admit to that, even when like Gerardine could tell someone was going on and I couldn't articulate it to my friends what was going on yet because I didn't understand.

I'm about to ask for earlier, do you do a couple of theapees with your fiance.

We're thinking about it. She thinks we should do it, but let me say this. I think we should do it. But for me, it was like, I want her to go to therapy consistently on her own first, because women love to do this couple of ship but won't work on their personal ship. You know what I mean. So I love therapy, then you should love therapy. And we both consistently going therapy. Cool. We could go talk to somebody together because we know how to do therapy right.

So we'll find like And it's interesting with couples therapy because I'll be watching like shows like like Shrinking is one of my favorite shows. I love. Damn I love that show. Watch Shrinking.

But I mean, but even though we don't go to therapy, we do that a lot and it's been beautiful. Like even one day, I think a couple of weeks ago, she was like, we need to communicate better. I'm like, we're actually doing it. We just not agreeing.

We talking about it. And I think that's maturity too, being able to have a conversation and not agree, like nobody has to win this when you get.

That's that's when you've established them.

No, it's that's where we're at too, And I actually love that, Like I love the way I don't know man even with that right, like to be legitimately in love and appreciate what love really is and a partner man, that's his next level. I like really appreciate her, you know what I'm saying, Like I love talking to it and not once again, even when we don't agree. It's so interesting because she'll sometimes she'll get really on ten.

If you love somebody the way you love your kids and you you're really in love.

If you love somebody the way you love your kids and you you're really in love.

I think your partner is a whole other level of that too, though, because I remember, like when my dad, you know, when my mom passed and just we're trying, we were trying to figure out his pain because he did lou he lost somebody who was his best friend, who he like decided they made that decision together. That's a whole other type of love and relationship. So I just think it's different.

Yeah, that you feel like she should get therapy for herself first, Like what are some things that you that you see that she needs to work on, you know, individually before a couple don't get in trouble.

Nothing.

Nothing.

No, she's working on She's working on everything. I mean we both are like and I ain't gonna put her personal stuff because we do really talk about it, but she's working on it. Like that's why she goes out there like Danella is so it is crazy. It's really the stuff she's working on is all it's going to do is make her even great her and like for me, I see her and that's one of the things like sometimes when I kind of get on her about things, it's because I see I can see the great dis in her, you know what I'm saying, And like when somebody really see like I mean, honestly, I tell her this all the time. I stopped drinking because I had the right woman. It was something I wanted to do for a long time but I couldn't. I don't know. Whatever, whatever I needed, she was able to provide for me. And it was from this, like I know you want to get better, and I'm not gonna even like poke at you about it. I'm gonna just cover you and pray for you, and man, I'm gonna be there for you and I'm gonna let you know I'm proud of you when you're doing And that's what she did. And I literally just told her that, like it's like one of our weird emotional crime because that's where I'm at too, like the tears come down there, like like some days I wake up and I just be like, I like can't believe. I'm like, you saved me, Like she literally to me, saved my life. Yeah, well I got to go.

You got to go. But what got you to a place of worthy?

You got to go. But what got you to a place of worthy?

Mm oh that's a good question. Wow, you know, And that's that at first I didn't feel like it because you know, you go through. It's so funny that happened with the fires too a little bit, where like I kind of felt guilty that I placed it catch fire in a weird way because I felt bad for everybody, like people lost everything. I'm like, dang, why do I feel guilty about being kind of blessed in a way because it didn't happen to me. But it's the same thing. It was, like, you know, when I felt when I felt worthy for real, Charlotte Mane, it was really here we yo. It was one of the therapy sessions, right, And I remember my therapist was I was trying to explain to I don't know what I was saying to maybe acting like I didn't deserve some of the stuff. I couldn't understand why. And that's when we started doing that exercise to talk to little me, you know what I mean, Like, yo to the kid who had the dream, who was on the West side of Chicago watching the TV right like, dang, I wish I could, Like it didn't seem realistic. Like even when we say Hollywood from where I live, I'm like, what is that a real place? It felt like os But then like she was like, talk to little you, because you actually did it. And so that's when I had that moment like oh shit, I went back and told little me, like, dude, we made it. We made it in that movie theater where like you, you would sit there for hours and watch back to bad movies, cause it was just taking you, you know, away from whatever you you made it inside the TV like you and the thing you're You're part of this beautiful, great up dream you had and you worthy of it, like you earned it fan, and I was like, damn. And that's really when I felt worthy. And that's why, like I love that, you know, one of the biggest compliments I do get more than anything. It's like, dude, you just seem happy and I'm like, yeah, I'm so comfortable and just even though not just being real, Like even my relationship with God is on the whole other level, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's just the conversations I have with God now, be so honest. Yeah, and so like lately, I'll say it again, like this's probably been the most emotional I've ever been in my life. I just wake up sometimes with a new praise every single day, and I'm loving what I do more now, even just like you know, promoting dog Man and I'm like, Wow, I'm in this animated movie that's one of those big movies, and I get a chance for a book that the voice has never existed and the first time a kid hears Chief talk, it's me. That's so cool. I'm like, I'm literally enjoying every aspect of this now more than I ever have.
