Cedric the Entertainer

27:27So that's the only time that I like to kind of go because he'll be like, you know, he plays cards and he'll show me like, do this, do this. And I'm like, oh, cool. I just won. But I would never do it on my own. Like I'm not a gambler. I'm not either. But if I'm around someone, I just tell them, please tell me what to do. Yeah, exactly. And if it goes badly, I have someone to hate, which makes it work out. Yeah, I like had it. I had some the last trip we were in the Bahamas together. And I actually when I was leaving, I had like maybe like$3 ,000 worth of chips in my pocket and totally forgot. So it was like, what did I do with this?

28:01So I looked like a big timer because I was just like giving people chips on the way out, you know, man. Thanks, bro. Except for the bags, my man, take that. Here you go. Here you go, customs agent. Yeah, don't look in that bag, all right? But here you go. It's not a bribe, my friend. It's just a chip, but take it over there. has he uh i i would think the one thing i think of when i when i steve see steve now it's always family feud i see him doing family feud and and the one thing i worry about is that doing a gig like that over and over and over again would just would like start to get to your mind you know what i mean i worry sometimes like it would yeah exactly i don't know that just over and over and over again doing the family feud would would change five appetizers before your order Let's go Let's get it on here Let's get it on Go on and sound Come on up here Give it to me Buffalo wings Buffalo wings Number two French fries French fries Let's give it to me Caesar salad Then you give him one That clearly disappoints him Yeah Stewed tomatoes Stewed tomatoes Oh hell no I know that ain't up there.

29:24You know he's doing that when he... You know if you wake him up at three in the morning, that's what he's like. That's how he wakes up. Yeah, and the survey says... You can't ask him a question without it being phrased. Yeah, that's probably so true. And they do a lot of them at once, too. That's the other thing. Like, when they shoot those shows, they block them. So you're right. I think in that period of time It just gotta be in your head because You're doing like a hundred Sometimes they do like a hundred and six Shows in a matter of like three months So just day every day like Popping them off like And then change suit and act like okay now it's Christmas time Even though you're shooting it in July You know you just keep going and going and going We should do the podcast that way We should do like 30 a day Cedric you gotta go We got someone else coming in in eight seconds you're just stacked up like planes on the airport yeah just the amount of guests that you have I don't even know what I'm doing I start to forget who's who who's the pilot that's moving on asking people the wrong questions asking them the wrong questions I got my barista coming up next and it's just the guy from today not my regular barista it was a random stop and I told him to come on this show just get in there Get in there and talk.

30:45You know coffee? Go, go. I ordered a latte. What's in a latte anyway? What's in a latte? Why latte? Why is the name? Seems weird. It seems lazy with coffee as opposite. When you look at it, latte, you know. Thought it was supposed to get me up. Okay, get the fuck out of here. I'm done with you. Thanks a lot for nothing. Who's next? It's a revolving world. No, it's director Werner Herzog. Get in here, Werner. This is madness. This is insanity. Shut up, Werner. I got to ask you about a friend of yours, Tracy Morgan, because he's a friend of mine as well. And I just, I know you've worked with him on The Last OG.

31:23And it's just, he's this guy who I, if Tracy wasn't famous, I couldn't explain him to anybody. Is that right? I just talked to Tracy the other day. So I called him just on some random, hey, bro, checking in, you know. He just goes like you've been having a conversation. Said, it don't make no sense, you know. it's just the way that it is you know

31:53yeah yeah you know you gotta i agree i agree i agree 100 that's a lot of money for fish yeah what oh he's oh he's really into the fish oh he's into the fish the fishes are crazy i'm telling you this is a true story well during uh covid when everyone was we were doing the interviews and uh you'd be people would be on zoom and i'm talking to him and he's talking and being crazy and that's crazy enough just trying to talk to the man is insane talk to tracy morgan have a conversation with him is insane and then a barracuda swam behind him and i was like what the and he was like that's my fish tank and it's not a fish tank it's a fish tank the size of this studio that's in his house.

32:39Yes. And it's got sharks and barracudas. It's like he's a James Bond villain. You know what I mean? You look up and it's like groups of kids doing field trips through there. It's a very odd thing. Like it's such a big fish tank in someone's house. You're like, is that Wild Card Academy kids? Who are these kids? Why do they have uniforms on? Like, and the fish have names. And they're usually rarer than just what you say. It's not just a barracuda. It's some crazy, unique barracuda that he's found off the shores of Seashell or somewhere. It's like, you're like, what? He's like, yo, that's Myron.

33:26That's my man's right there. Yeah, it's Myron. He's a barracuda. He's a barracuda, but he get everybody pregnant. He'd get all the fish pregnant.

33:41Who was it? He was on the podcast. He did a podcast in New York City, and he came on, and I hugged him when he came out, and he smelled. I got a thought. He had this powerful cologne on. I'm like, what is that? And he said, it's jupe. And you know what? He holds it for a long time, and he looks at the whole crowd, and he just was telling us, jupe. It's jupe. And he made half the segment about jupe. and Jupe was delighted because no one's talked about Jupe in a long time but he gets into something you can barely get that in the middle of the mall nowadays they sent us a crate he sent you a bottle it's a classic it's one of those ones like Corus and Jupe and Lagerfeld those were the ones we grew up on smelling great and groovy obsession I put a little on and didn't say anything, and I went home to my wife.

34:38Yes. Come on, man. No, it didn't go well. Of course not. She made me check into a hotel. You're not a cologne guy. I'm not a cologne guy. I have my own odor that's tough enough. I smell like onions and fear. It's a nice combination. Oh, the combination. That's what people don't know. It's like mixing colors in the crayon box. It's great. it's great onions and fear come out you know i heard you say once which i really liked you were talking about how um with the exception of that guy who you needed to knock out in order to uh get your start in show business that is a rare exception for you because you you don't root against other comedians you're happy for them to do well because your theory has always been you know it's like that that concept that a rising tide lifts all the boats yeah you're rooting for other people to do well.

35:32You think it's going to expand the space. Uh, for sure. I think, you know, I mean, cause you know, creativity is, is definitely that, like if you're around creative people, I mean, just like this vibe, you know, the energy lifts up, you start saying things or doing things that you would never have thought of before. So, you know, it's great to be around like people that are, that, that, that they can be young or older, but they bring in a good vibe and good energy. Then, you know, that's usually going to, inspire you to to go higher you know so that's why i like that that's why i kind of love that attitude of like when people are killing it or they bring something new to the game or something like that you're like yo let's go i like that yeah yeah i think that's a great attitude uh i'm gonna pretend to have the same attitude i like it no no i actually i really do i i like to root for people and it's and it's just like the in the time that i've known kevin hart he went from being you know this guy that would come on our show to uh he's i think he's basically has the gross national product of like a fairly well-to-do country now you know like he's like it's he's everywhere he's in every commercial he's in every single commercial and they just switch out what he's holding he doesn't even know they take out one credit card and they put a different one in uh but he has such a positive energy and i get i always get energized when i'm around him yeah because it's coming from a good place he just oh he this is what he loves he's and that's what's so great i think that a lot of people too like kevin literally is one of those people like you go uh you know he's the same person as when you kind of knew him back when yep you know even though he's like extremely successful and really rich he really is very approachable and and regular dude and he'll go right into wait what did you say that's bullshit Like he's right there and connected.

37:26Yeah. He starts giving me shit about like what I'm wearing immediately in this very friendly, in touch way. Whereas we all know people that have hit it and then something happens. It's like they go behind a bubble forms around them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it seems to be less of that, I guess, probably nowadays with, you know, with social media, the opportunity where people kind of know you a little bit more. But I think you're right. I think that it used to be being a star meant you had to be a little more reclusive. You had to give off this persona of I'm kind of other than, you know, I'm a little bit more than the average person.

38:04But now I think, you know, if you do that to somebody, you know, like at a damn Starbucks, then, you know, you big time them. Then, you know, they can light you up all day, you know, and next, you know, it just starts a wave. You're like, no, I just didn't see you. You know, I had my sunglasses on or whatever, but, you know, I think you got to, you got to protect yourself as a human being. Like, you know, I was always one when my kids were little and I was a stickler for, you know, like making sure that people understood I was with my children. Like, let's try to get at some, get at some merit, guys.

38:37Like, it's not that I don't want to take pictures with you or, you know, but, you know, I'm with my little kids. Right. You know, I'm not going to. I find that mostly people respect that. Yeah. For the most part. And if they don't, that's telling you something about them. It's about them, right? Exactly. You're the target. So that's the hard thing, you know, until I turn that target on you. Jesus, what happened to you? You totally switched. You all right? You off your meds? Yeah. You know, I was curious about something because you've done clearly, you love getting out in front of a crowd and doing stand-up, but you've also had this success with The Neighborhood, which is now going into its sixth, I think it's sixth season now, which is you think about it for a television show sitcom to go six seasons and and be chugging along and doing well that's an achievement how do you feel about that process the process of okay we're going to work on it for a week and then we're going to shoot it which is very different very different from i'm going to get up on stage this is all me 100 i've some i've sometimes found i just love to be me yeah and then what if i'm in a situation where they say okay we're going to change it so that you have to behave yourself, enter and hit your mark.

39:48I realize, Oh, I'm a chimp. I'm a chimp on some kind of cocaine. I'm not supposed to do that. Yeah. You know what? I mean, there's something that, you know, it was definitely a part of my kind of like trajectory. Like, so, you know, like coming up when, when I did it, that was the goal as was to get a sitcom. So I got, you know, I was able to be on a Steve Harvey show pretty young in my career and then, was able to do a lot of television afterwards. So I actually loved that process. And getting to a show like The Neighborhood, being on a major network and having a great cast, that's the other thing.

40:24Everybody's super pros. They came from other shows to Sheena and Max and Beth and even the two young sons, Sheen and Marcel. I have to say Max is an off-the-charts performer. I used to see him on New Girl and he's just Just brilliant. Yeah, yeah. And he's a kind person and funny and easygoing and just keeps life simple. That's what's really so wonderful. So we actually operate in that space. So, you know, to be able to take a script and then, you know, shape it and tell the story of these two neighbors getting to know each other and becoming friends and what happens, it's been a blessing, man.

41:06So I really appreciate that, you know, the show works, you know, that people tune in each week. and that we get to do it and that the network is behind it. They're pushing for it. I'm ready to get back to work as soon as the strike over. It's also about something. It's about something that we need to keep talking about. I don't mean to find comedy in it, I think, is much more powerful than lecturing people or talking about people of different races living in the same neighborhood. and how are they, how is it all being worked out? And what are the issues? And without being preachy, just being funny.

41:47Yeah, yeah, that's the truth, man, because I think that's when the show first, you know, when it first came to me, that was kind of like the idea. And, you know, we were, we definitely went through a phase where this idea of race separation and sexuality, you know, who, you know, people felt like they had to draw these hard lines in the sand if you were this or you were that and it was like no people are humans and like what if that person was your neighbor you would have a totally different feeling about some in which we do usually you know when it comes to sexuality or if somebody your friend and you work with them every day or you live next to them or they married into your family somehow you don't look at them as some big group of people you look at that person you already know if you're sharing space with them if you're breaking bread with them if you're asking them can i use your garden hose because minds split, it's going to, then suddenly everything is quite different.

42:41Exactly. And I think that, you know, a lot of times we kind of like get put in these, like these barrels of groups and people feel like they have to define themselves by the group, you know? And I think that's the idea to show is to show like the humanity and the people. And then, you know, of course we think we have group think, but then we kind of, we all are these individuals and inside that is where the relationships are. And so let's build from there, you know? So I think that that's really been the fun part of the show, some of the things that we try to attack. We're both married on the show.

43:14We both have kids. We're homeowners. We're trying to figure it out. His wife is more the breadwinner, so he's got that kind of thing that we have to kind of figure out, like what's that story we're telling there, and how life has changed where it used to be one way, and now your wife can be the breadwinner in the family. does that make you less of a man like these kind of things and so we have a we we have those kind of things that we've been able to have fun with like you say to not be preachy about it just tell tell a good funny story and then be like all right that was worthy so let's talk about because this is you tell we've been talking a little bit about how you make these jumps because you clearly like to try things you like to you know expand uh your you know your abilities and say like okay what can I try now, you, you write a book fiction.

44:06Okay. And what's cool about it is it's not at all what I expected because I don't even know what I expected, but first of all, I think, okay, it's going to be your life story. No, it's not. It's a, it's a, it's a book of fiction. And then I think, okay, it'll be about a comedian who, nope, nothing like that. It's incredible, flipping boxcars and it takes place in 1948. Yeah. And it really feels like you know this world. You really know these people. And the language, I mean, the terminology you're using, because I love 1940s, 1930s, 1920s slang. I just love it. And I love to use it. I love people not to know what I'm talking about.

44:53But in this one, people are really using what sounds like very legitimate, real language. Tell us a little bit about the story. Yeah. So this is the story about loosely based on my grandfather, who I'd never met. But, you know, I would hear these stories from my mother and my uncles and relatives. And my grandfather passed before I was even born. And yet, you know, as I started to like kind of come on my own rise, I would actually get these, I'll call them machinations, but be like daydreams of him, like very vividly, you know, doing things like I could see the suit he had on and what he would say in a certain situation.

45:32And so, you know, I would just jot them down sometimes. And so that really became the basis of this book, because some of these some of these stories are based off real things. And then what I decided to do was create a fictional tale around the 4th of July in 1948 of him on this caper to try to make it, you know. And it takes place in in your Caruthersville, Missouri, in your hometown, real town where I grew up. This is after World War II. Yeah. And the central character is Babe Boyce. That was my grandfather's real name. That's what they called him. His name was Floyd Boyce, but everybody called him Babe.

46:11And he was known as Babe Boyce, and he was like a famous gambler. And this was like dice, but it would be likened to the way we know poker players today, like famous poker players. Right. But back then, if you threw dice, you were known. And he was one of those guys. He was a businessman. He was a bit of a gangster. He was a civic man for the, like the black side of town. You would go to him and he would, you know, he would know how to get people's gas turned on and, you know, get a fire truck over to the city side of the town. Like he was just a mover and a shaker like that. These were real stories that I would hear about.

46:49And then I just kind of told it as this fictional tale. So it's funny because it revolves around this Fourth of July celebration. And you talk about all these things that really that you've seen. There was like a greased pole that people were trying to climb. And I'm thinking like, this didn't happen in Brookline, Massachusetts. Yeah. I don't think this is true. It didn't happen in my neighborhood. Yeah. Those were the kind of, you know, those are the kind of carnival, fair carnival games, you know. But the greased pole, like you would slide up a greased pole and you would win. and it was like one guy that was the hero.

47:24Like, and his family is kind of legendary down there, the Agnews. And so, you know, this guy always could win. Like, he could climb up this pole faster than anybody, but it would be a greased pole, a real contest. That was his claim to fame. Hey, come on. Somebody had to be the guy. You know, he had a big banner out in front of his home. Home of the Agnew, greased pole champion. You know, you ride faster. When he would walk into the bar, the piano player would stop. Everything would freeze. Yeah, like watch it. It's Greasy Paul Johnson. So I love this. There's a glossary of terms in the book. And my favorite one is the term for a blowhard or a braggart, a guy who talks a lot, is a gumbeater.

48:10And I thought, oh, I'm a gumbeater. I'm a guy who I don't have any other skill. I really don't think I have any skill other than I'm a gumbeater. I come in here and I just flap these gums and I keep going until I hit something and then people go, here's your cookie and they kick me out of here. Yeah, man. And you can bring it back and I think once people know you as a gum beater, Conan, you can embrace it, you know? Like you can be the head of the association, you know? Alright everybody, quiet down! Settle down everybody! Everybody's beating their gums. Hey! Come on! I know you're all very good at this, but come on!

48:52we've had nine meetings of gum beaters and we haven't agreed on anything i haven't got a warning ass way like all the gum beaters are just talking you know what i love i love this one to take a nap is to collar a nod isn't that great i'm gonna go collar a nod i don't get it what do you mean i'm gonna go collar a nod grab a nod not okay yeah i get it now i'm sorry you You gotta get outside more. Yeah. You gotta hang with me and Cedric. We know what's going on out there. You guys know what's up. Oh, these new generations. They don't know shit. Call or a nod. You gotta do it. Jelly or jelly roll is sex.

49:30I knew that. Come on. Come on, everybody. Yeah. That's back vogue. Yeah. Bones or dice. Hey, I need some jelly roll tonight. I've been beating my gums all day. Oh, wow. And then I call it a nod, and now I'm ready for some jelly roll. Okay, wait a minute. Wait, this isn't good? Yeah, that's crossed the line. I crossed the line? I said I was beating my gum and beating my gum. And now I'm ready for some jelly roll. Okay, I think I did this wrong. Cedric, why did you give me these terms? Why did you write this book? You've ruined my life. That made me laugh so hard. That's funny. a stroker i love this as a player who makes overly complicated bets and causes dealers to work harder unnecessarily usually pissing them off that is so specific yeah that's like you know this is the guy that's like yo give me give me four on the hard eight but take the two down move that time move that move that nickel to the two take this two i'm gonna take a i'm gonna take the the yo on the come out but i'm gonna move this to the pass line you're like i've seen this too like you have yeah in vegas you're like yo that's a lot bro like i don't even know what's going on right now like you know so and also the poor dealer just burned more calories and wasted more time for this guy's nickel you know whatever it's ridiculous yeah and then he's gonna lose it all on one stroke and just curse everyone out after that well i love i i just i I think it's very cool that you've written this and it's, and then it's a caper.

51:03It's a real story because main character, I won't give, I don't want to give away too much, but he gets in some trouble and he needs to come up with a lot of money or he's in real trouble. And then that's where the fun begins. Yeah, exactly. And I wanted, I love that. You know, I was really inspired by the Walter Mosley books. Those like devil in a blue dress and you know, that, that, that character right there, the fearless Jones. He has a couple of characters that I love that kind of writing that, you know, that film forties film, new war energy. And you know, it's just like a regular guy doing something and out of nowhere, he's in the middle of something super crazy.

51:42And that's, that, that's what we did here. So, you know, he's got a regular life that he does that, that is, you know, in between the lines of good and bad, like being a good dude. And he makes a choice that puts him in deep. And now he has to kind of like, again, like he's always been pretty much lucky as a gambler. He has to fight himself out of it. And so the caper just digs him in a hole and it's so much fun. And we, you know, I just had a good time weaving the story. Yeah. How long did it take you to do this? It was over a year. It took a while, you know, you know, because, you know, I had a great co-writer, you know, who, you know, helped me kind of like take my ideas and then formulate this thing.

52:22So Alan Eisenstock, great dude. And we we we kind of like locked in with each other. And that's when it became, you know, it became just this fun idea. We just took our time and made sure we did exactly what we wanted to do. Like I had it in my head. But, you know, of course, you know, the formula of writing a novel. I'm not a novelist. So, you know, but I think of stories very vividly. So that's how that's. So we also killed it. Rule number one is always write what you know, and you know Caruthersville, Missouri, and you know this 4th of July weekend, and you really know these people. So you knocked rule number one out of the park.

53:02You didn't write a story about, it's Mars. The year is 3075. Yeah, no space odyssey. That's the next book. Yeah, same character. Gambling. on sea. Welcome to Mars. Yeah, hi. You got any jelly roll around here? Oh, you gum flapper, you. You are making us uncomfortable with your crude references to sex. Well, the book is, the novel is flipping boxcars. And I have to say, I was just delighted that you could come in. You are such a funny guy and always, always killing me and just such a great force. You are a force. Yeah, man, always, same thing, man. Always fun to be around you many years, you know, back in New York days and then when you came out here, you know, just so, so just always fun to be around you, man.

54:02You're a fun dude. And, you know, like I say, I think that that really works. So it's weird that you don't have a lot of friends, Conan. It's really, Cedric, if you hung out a bit, you'd see. I can hold it together for an hour. But no one in this room is questioning why I don't have a lot of friends. It just gets real quiet. Yeah. Well, I'm going to go. You know, it's a bad sign. In the middle of a podcast. You know, it's a bad sign when people who work for me just start to walk away during the podcast. What happened, Conan? Where'd they all go? Yeah. Yeah, I kind of ran out of gas there. Yeah.

54:40No. Hey, man. Definitely. All right. And just work me into a cameo on your show. Whenever, when the strike is over, I'll come back. Cause you've dealt with, you know, white people, but you haven't dealt with a really white guy. Like a guy who's super white. Yeah. Like so white that white people are scared of him. What is going on? Is he okay? Yeah. Like what's happening? Yeah. We actually, I actually went. We're going to have to move.

55:10We were shooting in Haiti and all these kids gathered around me and they were touching my arms in Haiti. And remember, and they were looking at the freckles on my arms. And then one man was just staring at me and I said, what are you looking at? And he said, I want to know if you are well. He thought I was sick. I'm like, I'm not sick. I guess I am. I guess I'm kind of sick. Anyway, Cedric, thank you so much for stopping by. you bring joy wherever you go and uh and i'm excited for your book yeah thank you man pre-ordering go to you know go go and get it now flipping box cars check it out check it out man all right definitely brother

55:59it's been a while but you remember we used to listen to voicemails from people that would call in and we'd answer their questions? Yes, back in olden times. Yeah. Well, we don't have any today. And that's kind of what we're going to talk about. Okay. Our system for collecting voicemails has failed us. What? And now we have a brand new phone number. Wait, I have a, first of all, how long has this been going on for and why wasn't I made aware? It's been going on for a while. What kind of shitty organization do we have here? Oh, a shitty one. Okay. Oh, there. Oh, of the shitty ones, this is the shittiest.

56:31I'm just curious, have people been trying to leave messages and they couldn't? I believe they either couldn't or we couldn't retrieve them because it had something to do with us leaving an old network that we used to belong to and changing companies. Is it possible that people have been leaving messages out there for us and we haven't been getting them? It's possible. That's terrible. In fact, I'd say it's likely. That's awful. I feel badly what if people were really needing us or needing our help the number just got disconnected people have not been leaving messages that we haven't returned you're killing the drama oh i'm gonna shut up no no blay i'm glad no no cut this no no no don't cut it supposed to be dramatic don't cut it that that's actually good information for me to have because it would kill me if people were leaving us messages i have a need to please blay i'm glad you grabbed the mic in your hawaiian shirt and told us.

57:24I mean, it's got flowers on it. And not every flowered shirt is a Hawaiian shirt. He's right. Thank you. No, sorry, Jerry Garcia. I didn't. Maybe it isn't a Hawaiian shirt. But no, sorry. Just I don't mean to kill the drama. I hope you can get the band back together. You guys were really grooving there for a while. I am glad. And stop telling us what we can cut and can't cut. We're going to leave this all in. Okay. People need to know what a stumble bum you are. I'm sorry. Anyway, don't worry. No messages were left that you don't know about. it just, the numbers doesn't exist. It failed a long time ago and no one did anything about it.

57:56I mean, there are messages that the listeners don't know about because I would say one out of every 50 ,000 is usable. Oh. Yeah. That's a terrible thing to say. Why? Well, they're just sometimes raving lunacy on there. And I'm not even joking. Well, wait a minute. Maybe my father's in trouble.

58:17But maybe we should talk about some tips for the listener because we have a new phone number. Oh, we've got a new number.
