The Real Report - Rip Micheals on life-changing heart attack, T.I. booed off stage, 20 years of Wild’n Out & the Kevin Hart collab

16:06Tony Yayo:Yeah. Bernie was a beast, man. And I remember being Bernie Mac when I was like, I think I was 12 going inside the Cotton Club and he used to host it. And they used to bring me in through the kitchen because I wasn't old enough to come inside and they would just let me perform and they would sneak me right back outside. And just watching him, he would always just tear that room apart, man. Him and back then Diane Quarter and like Tony Schofield. And it's like, it was just fraternity of just like people, just a brotherhood. Damon Williams, just so many dope comedians that just embrace you to be like, hey man, let's do this.

16:34But if you wasn't funny, man, they don't play around. But New York don't play around. They don't play around. With Sydney and clubs, they will throw pepper pot on you. They will throw oxtail and gravy. I've seen the comedian get a mop bucket thrown on them. I think they threw mop water on Gerald Kelly one time. And I was like, whoo. And he looked at us like, what are we going to do? I was like, we're going to get you a towel. But these niggas are skills. We're going to get you some cotton ale, paper towel.

16:58Tony Yayo:New York is tough, man. Remember Showtime at the Apollo back in the day? These motherfuckers will throw everything at your ass. Get you the fucker party there. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's just a time. But that don't happen anymore. There is no more booing. Now everybody just sits and watches and they just go on your page and say you're not shit later on. But they don't really boo like they used to. Well, sometimes they do. Sometimes in my shows that I put on, sometimes people can get it. How was it when, because I know you brought T.I. out to one of your shows and it was crickets. Okay. First of all, let me explain.

17:28First of all, T.I. Because you think a rapper should be doing comedy? Of course. Of course. T.I. is a funny, funny comedian and person. T.I. has great stories, and it's just, I just think it's that night. And he went around the country blaming me for getting booed. First of all, I didn't set T.I. up. T.I., everybody knew you was coming. I didn't. I didn't. He tried to say that they thought he was doing music, and they booed him. No. The crowd knew you was doing comedy. I promoted his comedy. I had his drops in comedy for the first time. That was the whole appeal.

18:00Tony Yayo:What's the other thing that you promoted is him coming out to perform. him. No. So when he came out doing stand-up comedy, they were like, what the fuck is this? No, he got a roaring reply. I did not, man. Y 'all not going to put that on me, Bobby J. You're not going to put that on me. I did not. You set him up, bro. He came up and he went up and the crowd was so happy to see T.I. And everybody knew he was doing comedy. As a rapper, not this. No, as a comedian. That was the whole reason everybody bought tickets. Because he had been doing comedy. It wasn't his first show. So they had been doing comedy across, and he changed his name to Tip Air.

18:28So he'd been doing comedy for a minute. So when he said it, that he was doing comedy, because my friend write for him and he went up and the crowd you watch the video yourself the crowd listened to him for about seven minutes they was like this they didn't boo him right away they was like this

18:43Tony Yayo:I thought you were going to say seven seconds no no no no they listened to him they was like T.I. and then he was like yeah and then they was like okay okay mmhmm mmhmm boo and they couldn't take no more I think he did a joke about like something about heated seats in the gas station bathroom and the girl sitting down that's when they had enough So your man who wrote the jokes for him wrote some bad jokes. I don't think nobody wrote jokes for that. I'm just saying that he just, and he took it personal. Like, it happens, bro. Like, you get booed. It just, you know. How do you feel about comedians getting mad at people with the crowd?

19:15I think that's right. Any given night, it can happen. I just want to say that. Any given night, it can happen. Like, the crowd looked at him, and it didn't end bad. Because afterwards, I didn't make fun of T.I. I didn't go out there and roast T.I. Like, we as comedians, we supposed to do. The internet did that for him. No, I didn't go out there. I played his music and say, why would y 'all do that to a legend? That's a legend, DJ Envy, played some music for him. We played all his hits and we rocked out for a few seconds and showed that's the king. He tried something different and that's what it was.

19:39Like the crowd was just looking at him like, hey man, you can have whatever you like, but it ain't comedy.

19:48And his wife was there on the other side. She was like, who can you run to? Cause she couldn't escape either. To fill that empty space. And it just happens. He took it too personal. He didn't cut his hair off. He got the number one song. You're back rapping now. Like, it's just, maybe that was the thing for him to do. Like, but go back. But he's funny. And listen, if T.I. is watching, you are more than welcome to come back anytime and do comedy. T.I. ain't watching this.

20:12Tony Yayo:He don't. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. We just listening to the stuff. He ain't watching this shit. Oh, you're not watching? OK. But I just feel like when - T.I. ain't got tubi? I feel like, no, this is why I feel like - T.I. ain't got tubi? No, look, this is the purpose. No, we ain't tubi. No, I'm just kidding. T.I. get you some tubies so you can watch his shit Yo look the reason why I say that cause like when I see him like I see another clip of him like arguing with somebody you can't for me if I'm a comedian I wanna be a comedian cause people say I'm a funny motherfucker I don't wanna go to the show and argue with nobody and to me a good comedian you don't gotta just pick somebody in the crowd to fuck with them like I'm not coming look I don't wanna come to your show and get roasted my nigga I'm gonna be real, that's why I never was on Wilder.

20:59Tony Yayo:That's a possibility, right? That's a new way of doing, that's called crowd work. So sometimes that is cool to do crowd work. And that's like, cause sometimes people sit there and you want them to have a good time. So you see somebody say like, unfold your arms, man. Enjoy yourself. Why are you looking like the last kid picture I'm making? No, I'm just saying, no, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm trying to make it home.

21:19Uncle Murda:That's what he's telling me. I'm trying to make it home. See, y 'all would smile with me on the camera. They'd be like, Rip, go downstairs and get your coat. You good, man, you good. You need to ride to Harlem? We got you, man. Go get in that car." And they be like, Rip had an unexpected heart attack on the way to the Barclay Center. They be like, another one? Another heart attack?

21:36Tony Yayo:No, Rip, it's cool when somebody's doing something stupid like you talking. Like Aerie Spiers, I seen somebody walking by and this motherfucker going to the bathroom doing your show. Now you deserve to get guy. But if I'm in the front, I don't want to take that bullet, man. I don't want to... Because y 'all motherfuckers be roasting, motherfuckers. But it's all in fun. I think some comedians do it wrong, and I think some comedians that, you know, do do it. But it can be a lot of fun. It can be – crowd work can be a lot, a lot of fun. Like, that's – you know, I was the warm-up guy for so many years, and, like, crowd work now, thanks to a lot of people, is revolutionary.

22:08It's because you make jokes for people in that space. But just roasting somebody, no, I think that's wrong. But, like, enjoying a moment, asking a question, involving their lives, and bringing joy to it, I think that's dope. Because my name is actually Rip Mike Heels. It's not Michaels. It's actually M-I-C-H-E-A-L-S. So I try to heal with the microphone because I know my crown. Like I bring out a lot of hood people, regular people, but people buy tickets. And I think a lot of comedians don't realize who buys your tickets or what they go through to get a ticket. Like some people, this is their last$25.

22:38Some people just came home. Some people got going on. Some woman just being abused is so much and they come just to laugh. And escape that. And escape that. And if you could take 10 minutes of somebody's day and get them not to think about what's going on in their life and make them smile. Because comedians, all we do is really turn tragedy into comedy. Because there's nothing funny when you talk about being beat as a kid, but you're able to laugh so you can overcome it and make it a good memory instead of something that's tragic and let go of it. So I think that when you have that ability, you should harness it.

23:05And that's why I don't always stick to my material. Sometimes I'll just look at the crowd and be like, tonight the crowd don't want this. Tonight the crowd needs this from me. Because I want everybody to go home and feel the way. I'm not selfish. I don't want everybody just to hear my story. You know what? Oh, my daughter's going through this. I don't use it as therapy. I use it to make everyone else feel good. And I think that's why I've been able to do these 18 ,000, 19 ,000 seat arenas because that's the type of energy I put into it.

23:27Tony Yayo:God bless. 19 ,000 seat arenas is big, bro. And I've done it in every facet, man. Not only just with the Wildin' Out tour, creating that, the April Foods Comedy Jam, and there's comedy and music. I take my friends. With that, that's hip-hop and comedy together. So I take it's like Fat Joe and Jadakiss is on that. And Kodak Black. That's how that is because those are friends of mine. I'm like, you know what? We're going to do the comedy. Y 'all do the music and we're going to have fun. And if you look at Fall Back in Love, that was me taking all my R &B friends and putting R &B together with comedy.

23:56So that tour was super dope because it was fun. It was like one minute you'll see Brandy and then you'll see D-Ray and then you'll see Monica and then you'll see DC Young Fly. And it just took that that that rhythm of just sitting there when the band is playing while you're waiting for the next act and just make it a nonstop party.

24:10Tony Yayo:Wow. Yeah. And even if the offer rip, that's when I go in the crowd and I'm super interactive with that tour. And it's just these platforms that I created just for my friends, just for everybody to have fun. That's for us to go and say, look what we can do as a culture without the big machines behind them. Because I didn't know that. I didn't know that every comedian has some huge machine. I didn't know that every comedian signed to some weird Live Nation AG deal. I didn't know comedians wasn't selling anything on arenas. I didn't know that. I thought everybody was doing it themselves. I found out the hard way.

24:36I was supposed to do like a weekend in Vegas with Kevin Hart. And we was going to mix the brands and do like he has a Kevin Hart weekend. And we was going to mix with Wild Nile weekend. And we was going to do this huge collab. and he came back to me and he was like, yeah, AEG said they can't do it. And I was like, AEG? Wait, wait a minute. I thought it was, oh, it's not you. Oh, it's AEG. You have to, okay, I didn't know you had a boss, partner, whatever you want to say. I didn't know that. So when you ask me a question, it's me. It is not no Live Nation. There's no AEG behind me. There's no, it's just me doing.

25:08Tony Yayo:And you're doing ball clays and big spots. I've done it every single arena in this country at least five times. You and Kevin Hall were supposed to do something together, you said? We were going to merge his Heartbeat Weekend. He had a thing called Heartbeat Weekend. And then we were going to do the two brands and that was going to be added to Heartbeat Weekend because that weekend we did the Wild 'N Out Live. So I had Wild 'N Out Live at Cedars-Pattis and we was going to do a pool party and make it a whole package because, you know, Kev did Wild 'N Out. He was on it for a while but then AG said, you know, we don't really want to merge like that.

25:36It's a big company. I was like, oh, okay. But I didn't know that you had to go back. I didn't know people had that. I didn't know I was probably one of the only comedians to sell all the arenas by himself. I didn't know that. I had no idea. I thought that's what everybody did. I was here working too hard. I didn't know that.

25:53Tony Yayo:Everybody ain't doing that. I probably just didn't want to do that shit, man. Nah, it's really, it really, when you look at it, and even when you look at y 'all went on tour, that was Colin. That was Live Nation when y 'all went on tour. Yeah, that's Live Nation. That was Live Nation when y 'all went. Live Nation, A-H-G, they not. Some things was without Live Nation tour. They looking at him like, without that company, they probably like, well, who's he with? You know what I'm saying? But he's doing it on his own. He's proven if they see, they can look up your receipts and see what the fuck you did.

26:18Tony Yayo:Yeah, but sometimes the corporate don't know until it's too late. That's when they come when they see him selling out barclays in the garden and doing this. And then they'll come and snatch him up. But until now - Did any of these companies try to holler at you, Rip? Oh, a thousand percent. Of course. He wanted the money for himself. No, I just felt like when these companies approached me, I just didn't think the deals made sense to me. It didn't make sense to me because I've already done it. So when someone is, I offer me a deal and they got these deals and I tell any person, I will never do a cross-collateralization deal because that's just a loan.

26:50They're giving you a loan against your ticket sales. And if you don't sell it, then you don't get it and you pay the loan back, which makes no sense. And then if I'm already doing 18 ,000 seats and you're splitting my gate with me, but then I'm splitting my gate with me, you're selling me your marketing. You're selling me your production. you're selling me all these different things that's coming out of my share of the money not your share of the money and then at the end of it i'm splitting my ticket sales with you but you're not splitting anything that you bring you're not splitting you own ticket master why am i not getting any ticket master revenue you get food and beverages where's my food and beverage where's my part of parking so what are we splitting so how are you going to come to me and offer me something i don't need your marketing i've already proven this market i'm already selling out 18 ,000 so So it added no value.

27:35So when I sit with these companies, they look at me like I'm crazy. Well, we could do more shows. So you want me to do more shows and get half the money. How does that make sense? Give you half the money and do more shows for half the price.

27:46Tony Yayo:We know he shit when he starts talking about park because that's that live nation tour. That is. We learned that being on tour. Like they care about the beer sales, the parking. Better believe it. The fucking, just the little shit. Parkour, you in it? No, but it's small. It's small. The smallest. It's small money at the ticket price. They don't care about your ticket price because on top of each ticket, Ticketmaster takes 19, It's$19 on a$30 ticket. Right. It's a$19 fix on a$30 ticket. The money is all that's holding. So if you just think about it, if it averages$19 to$20 on top of your ticket price that you get nothing about.

28:15And then once your ticket starts selling, they have the ability to resell them. So they have the ability to pull the tickets, sell them for a higher price and give you the original price. So you think you're selling your tickets for$150. They pull the ones that are selling when they see how quickly and they see the EDPs and they see the ratios and they pull it and then they resell it for higher. And you still get the$100, but they sold for 300 other sites. Gangster. What made you get so creative to put the music with the comedy? Just my friends. It was just all my friends. It'd be no different.

28:43You'd say, hey, Rip, I'm coming through. I want to go up. Well, hey, Rip, I want to be a part of that. I want to do that. Like, Jacquees was like, Rip, let's go. And I met Jacquees in the airport. And I was like, hey, man, I'm going to put you on Wild N' Out. I think you dope. And he just came to one of my comedy shows. And he thought I was lying. And I was like, man, watch. And then two months later, he was on one of the episodes. and he was on tour.

28:59Tony Yayo:I was shook to get on Wild N' Out. Call me for that shit, man. Big shout out to Rich Homie Kwan. Rich Homie Kwan, I was like, man. That's the piece, Rich Homie Kwan. Yeah, I hit Rich Homie Kwan. And Rich Homie Kwan was like, hey man, I really, I was like, man, I got you. I'm going to put you on this Wild N' Out there and put you on there so we're going to do all these different dates. And we got him back popping. And when he passed away, I actually did the memorial for him at the State Farm Arena. Because his brother called me and his brother was like, hey man, you know, he passed away last night.

29:26I think I spoke to him the night before. and he's like this he had passed away and i was like wow and he's like everybody just it's a bad space i just wanted to tell you um because right now everybody's asking for your money that money back and we're gonna get them the money and just give a second i was like but i want no money back keep the deposit and on top of that i'm gonna pay you the balance and on top of that i'm gonna raise money for you too because i understand what you got to do real nigga shit and then i had his family come up and everybody was like oh you shouldn't do it i had his family come up i had the whole thing and we rocked that arena.

29:55We showed them so much love and in front of 20 ,000 people at the State Farm Arena. His family was sitting there, his brother was sitting there and we played his music and it was just a huge celebration. I've always just looked out for my friends and people that care about me.

30:08Tony Yayo:On a while now, how many places y 'all been around? Did they go overseas before? We did Canada and we did London. That was only two states. But April Fool's now, it's going to be in London. So April Fool's Barclay, April Fool's and then we at OVO Arena. My man got his own shit going. Yeah, and big shout out to Daniel. Daniel been riding with me every day. I know you know Daniel, man. Daniel Genie, that's my man, man. Yeah, crazy. Yeah, he's a good guy. He's a crazy, crazy dude, man. Talk about some of the writing you did, because Daniel was telling me you did a lot of writing behind the scenes, too.

30:34I write for a lot of people. I've written for a lot of people over the years on different TV shows. I was the head writer for the Nick Cannon show, Rolling Whitney. A lot of different things. But then that's just a way of continuing down your path and politicking with everybody so y 'all can come together and create that.

30:48Tony Yayo:Is that how you was able to bet on yourself? Like from doing that, stacking that money, like fuck it, I'm doing all this shit on my own. It was never about money. To this day, you don't even hear me talking about money. It's not about money. I talk about how many people it is. Got you. Got you. It's about the people. It's not about, it ain't, not one time am I going like, hey, it's going to make this. I'm going, we going to do 18. We going to do 20.

Listen, you're getting the money, you enjoy the money, you're spending the money. Nah. Nah, actually. So that's what I'm saying, Rip. Nah. You bet on yourself with the grind. You bet on yourself, Rip. That's what it was, Rip. You bet on yourself, Rip. I want to know what - No! Michael Blackson told me all this, so it's all fake. Oh, my gosh. Okay, all right. This come from a blanket on Canal. Mother sucker. Okay, so you mother sucker.

31:46Don't get me robbed out of here.

Honestly, before I had a heart attack, I literally wouldn't care. Like, if you look at the old stuff, I didn't really care how I dress, like, or really care to push myself. And I always stay behind the scenes. Like, I've done these things for years, man. Like, and I never really even thought about being in the forefront.

34:51I was just always happy just to do what I do. Got you. And then, like, I thought I was going to die when I was in the hospital and I had a heart attack.

34:58Tony Yayo:You had an heart attack at the Apollo, right? Yeah, I had an heart attack twice. I had an heart attack in Atlanta and then I thought I was going to get better and then when I when I had the heart attack after the show at the Apollo I just I've been in the hospital I was in the hospital for like like eight months in in in in the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix and big shout out to Daniel and Joe and they came to visit me and when I was in LIJ big shout out to Envy and Nick Hanna came to visit me it just I just thought I wasn't going to make it and everybody thought I wasn't going to make it and I'm honestly still not better I'm on a heart transplant list so I still got to get a heart so God bless you I'm still looking for that.

35:31But that's why every day is grateful. So when I came out, I started really caring. And I was like, God gave me the ability to even be here. Like, I'm here. I'm here. It's sitting here. And I'm not supposed to be here. But I'm supposed to be here. But you're supposed to be here. But I'm supposed to be here. So now I promise God that I won't stand in the background anymore. And I'm going to share my story so other people can do it. And now I'm going to step out on faith. and I'm going to raise my stock and go higher than I was ever supposed to do because it's not about me. It's about me sharing my story so the next person can do it and it can continue.

36:07Keeping it to myself, then I'm not creating a legacy for anyone to come behind me. So I'm going to show people that you can do this. I'm going to show people you don't need these deals. I'm going to show people that you can take it from being a small comedian sleeping on the streets of New York with your daughter to selling out arenas and being number two on Polestar and having an Apollo special that did a million in like the first week. Like independently, And that's what I'm trying to do.

36:30Tony Yayo:You had a heart attack on stage? Right on Saturday stage. And it was rushed to the thing. So what goes, cause when we interviewed Tracy Morgan, he told me and Murda, I got the closest to God in this fucking room. And you're the second comedian that could say that shit too, right? Yeah. So you're on stage and you know, you're on the road, we all know the road, life, it fucks up your body. You know, Murda's drinking, you're eating bad, you're not really getting no sleep like that. Eating bad, no sleep. Now, what goes through your mind? Like, what do you see? Do you, when your eyes are closed, you have a heart attack?

37:02Tony Yayo:Like, what the fuck? Like, what did you see when your eyes were closed? Like, what was it like having a heart attack on stage? It's just crazy to me, because I think Fat Man Scoop, he died on stage, rest in peace. So like, what was going through your mind? Like, what's the mindset? said um that i hope everybody enjoys the rest of the show and that i hope that i don't stop it so it can't continue yeah that was the first thing coming to my mind because i put those people in those seats they came out because i gave them a flyer i emailed them I text them and I know how hard it is sometimes to get the money for that so that was the first thing I was thinking and then the second thing I was thinking was like what would I leave my kids behind what would my wife behind what would what did I leave them a whole bunch of behind the scenes stuff that nobody knows yeah that's what I was thinking about damn that's all that was in my mind that shit is deep you know it's great yeah see being that that happened so how do you do you get nervous now a little bit where you perform on stage?

38:16No.

38:17Tony Yayo:I'm fearless now. Got you. I'm fearless. It's fun. It's fun, man. It's fun. What did Pac say? That doesn't kill me. It only made me stronger. Got you.

38:28Uncle Murda:That's right. That's right. You strong, bro. That definitely, I'm fearless now and I'm just, because I'm like, I'm back on stage. I have an opportunity to be funny. So now I took it for granted before. I'm like, ah, da, da, da. So now every show is actually like it's my last show. So whether I got a million shows Or 50 shows Or one show Maybe the Barclays Whatever it is I'm going to live it And enjoy it to the fullest I'm going to give I can't say give it with all my heart Because then that's not that much That's only 19 % Y 'all comedians

39:01That's crazy man That's crazy You're waiting for a heart man It's a thing You're waiting for a heart It's just weird man

39:07Tony Yayo:What's the process with that? It's just a weird process Don't you got to move a little easier though? You can't be as energetic as you I keep EMTs now everywhere I go I got a home health aid and a nurse that I got to you know my readings are everyday I have doctors that constantly monitor me and some days are good some days are bad some days I don't get out of bed and some days sometimes for weeks I'm no good so I try to make sure everything continues to move with or without me and that's just a different pacing because when you you're looking for a life organ you realize that someone has to pass away or someone has to no longer need it for you to live and survive.

39:43So it just puts you in a whole different mind state. Like, I ain't gonna lie to you. Now, every time I hear an ambulance, I be like, is that my blessing? Damn, that's crazy. Is that for me? When somebody gets shot up, I be like, don't shoot him in the chest. Shoot him in the legs. Please. Headshots only. I don't need the brain. I need the heart. Please.

40:01Tony Yayo:Headshots only. Oh, my God. Only on the real. Headshots only. Man went from being so positive. No, I'm just... Happy to be here and say, Well, just hit somebody in the head so I can continue. If you're going to do crime, make no crime pact. No, I mean, yo, come on. No, I'm just trying to make it light because it's a real serious situation. Definitely. And every time I talk about it, somebody emails me or somebody DMs me and tells me thank you because they're going through it. And my heart is congestive heart failure. It's congenital because I got it from my dad, but it's congestive heart failure.

40:32So it's nothing that I did from eating. It's nothing from diet. It's just something that just over time from not knowing that this was something inside of my heart. that it just caught up. So that's why I teach preventative. I teach, tell people to go get checked out, find out what you got to do, find out before it gets to that point. So that's, and then if you notice, I donated my last show, we donated to American Heart Association. And I constantly have people like at the Apollo, we taught CPR. We constantly, I don't want anyone else to go through this. Cause you don't have to.

41:02Tony Yayo:If you would have got checked out earlier, could it prevent it? I could have lived a different lifestyle and I could have kept up, kept my own heart just a little longer. just a little longer because i'm i'm going in a thing and it's like oh they're gonna give you a stamp you know oh just because you ate too much no and then did that that right hard calf and they went in and literally like in seconds they were like stop everything and all the cardiac arrest team came in and it was like 10 doctors standing over me and then they just took me out of thing and it was just like you got to go to ccu you gotta and the nurses start changing from like being jokey jokey I'm just making jokes to in prescriptions to like asking me like who's your pastor and like quote I went from prescriptions to scriptures and uh just a hard thing to take and I did I was by myself during that time and it just it's hard man it is it is hard but God got me through it it is it is really hard when you you face with that and you got to prepare yourself your family what you're gonna live them because we all know we programmed to die.

42:05Tony Yayo:It's going on. Yeah. It's part of the program. So right there, but it's when it comes and it's right there for you. That's crazy. On stage? No, on the side. On the side of the stage. Stop. Well, just, you know, doing what you do. On the side of the stage. On the side of the stage, yeah. The first thing you think about is buy yourself a lot of fake Louis.

42:26Uncle Murda:Buy as much fake Louis Vuitton as you can. Don't let these European have your money. You give this shit straight to the black man with the blanket. He brought that Louis shit

42:36Tony Yayo:to let people know you can do this in two without these big companies. You can do it. That's why you went and got the Louis shit after you made it, man. Yep, the dude was outside your studio with the blanket and I was like, you know what? Get the fuck out of here, man. Get the fuck out of here, man. I got the jacket. You got the chain. No, man.

42:56Uncle Murda:No, this shit is real. Don't rub it too hard. It's going to fall apart. It's for sure. You can't touch it. I can't move. That's why I'm like this. Now the motherfuckers with the purses now,

43:07Tony Yayo:I've seen they got like some two strings that they hold. Like they could just, it just go. Oh, yeah. Damn, boy. They not playing with me. So you know my guy then?

45:33Tony Yayo:Yo, how do you feel about rappers beef with comedians? Because you know Marlon Wayans and 50, that shit was the crack up a little bit. Yeah, I think - 50 held it down a little bit. I don't think no one stands a chance going against 50. I don't care who it is. 50 a different animal with that. I don't know what it is. I even got my own 50 Cent story. He did a show called 50 Central on BET. Yeah, I remember that. Right? And he was doing a comedy. He would come up doing comedy. And I did the comedy on the show and I failed. And I hurt myself because the floor was like shaky or some shit. And I was like, oh shit, I'm about to get paid.

46:04And I looked up and Fiddy looked at me and I was like, no, I'll just take a G in and teach you.

46:10Uncle Murda:Size 11. Size 11. He said, I'm all good. No worries.

And I think he's going to finally show me how to cook crack on the George Foreman grill. I didn't know you could do that. That was like one of my favorite lines. He was like, first dude to cook crack on the George Foreman grill. How? Because you got to close it to heat it up. I don't know.

47:20I don't think it's possible. When I see Jada kiss, I'm going to have a George Foreman grill. I'm like, please show me how you cook crack on this way. Because I burn my hand off trying to. Anything's possible nowadays. So it's going to be absolutely crazy. And then the Fall Back of Love is coming back out. So you can see that tour coming up in the fall.
