Okay. I thought you talking about. the slow part. Okay. No, no, >> in school I was more like a place to get.

away from my mama. My mom made me go to. school just to like just get out of. here. >> Okay. So, how about you in school? >> Yeah. So, me knowing school was just not. a place to learn. It was just a place. where it was like a extra home for me. So, when there I was relaxed, I was. cool. I just did what I wanted to do. because I'm like my mama don't care. Like you can. >> You came from an like an abusive. situation. >> No, she just said get the [ __ ] out of my. house. And I got the [ __ ] out the house. and I got on the bus and she just said I. ain't know wherever you go after you get.

I'm being serious. I'm being. serious. I'm I wouldn't say there's. trauma on my part. >> I start to realize now how important it. was to me. How I should have took it. important. But if nobody explain it to. you how important school is and why you.

should go, >> then it's a different meaning. It was. just more it was a place for me to get. out of home. So, I'm thinking in my head. at the age, >> it's a place to go to, you know. But. once now that I'm older and I explain to. my kids. >> like school is important because it's. going to affect you a year later when. you get grown. I just don't want you to. go because you have to cuz you're a kid. You know what I'm saying? Cuz I just. feel like. >> that's how you took it when you was a. kid. >> Get out just because she didn't but you. took it as a kid that she didn't want. you there. >> More cuz my mom Yeah. Cuz cuz if I. wanted to stay home, it's like in my.

house like it was just more her free. time. >> So. >> So you think the reason she told you go. to school is cuz she wanted free time. >> Exactly. That's crazy. >> Yeah. Even getting a diploma. A diploma. to me was get it because you needed it. to have a job, not because we want you. to have it. >> In a family, it was just more like get a. job. Like, >> and that was a big thing. Remember when. you used to fill a job application? Like, do you have your high school. diploma or college? >> And it was just like, >> when's the last time you used your. diploma? >> Never. I just I We was just talking. about that the other day. Never. I have.

not used my diploma since I graduated. high school. >> That is great. >> When you graduate? >> I graduate uh how old am I? I'm 33. No, I'm 32 the same age. I thought you was a. lot older than me. >> No, I [ __ ]. >> I'm I didn't My bad. [laughter]. Never mind. I know. I thought you were. like 34, 35. Do you get that a lot or is that. offensive?

>> That's new to me. That. >> people be thinking I'm like 24 or 25. It's opposite to me. People think I'm a. lot older. >> No, what I'm speaking on me, right? I. could pass for like 24, right? >> 24 what? Years. >> Yeah. >> You said you got a how you got said you. have. >> take away the kids. >> You said you have a 12-y old. >> I know, but I'm saying if. if you had a I was filling out an.

application and I put that I'm 24. >> Like you have a 12-year-old. I when you said you have a 12-y old, I. wasn't shocked. Like it didn't like I. wasn't like, "Oh, he got a 12year-old.". >> Right. But take away the kids. Could I. pass with 24 or 23? >> I wasn't shocked when you. >> You still not answer my question. >> That That answers it. >> If I thought you looked like 24 when you. said you had a 12-y old, I would would. have been like you had a baby at 12. >> Mhm. >> Or 13. >> So what did you Okay, look just with me. I was I started stopped wearing pull-ups.

when I was seven. What's the age when you stop wearing. pull-ups? >> Uh, I if I had to guess cuz my kids are. very uh potty trained very quickly. So, if I had to guess, it's probably one or. two. >> So, that's early. >> My kids start potty training at like one. and a half. >> So, that's early. >> Yeah. Compared to Yeah. Seven is a. normal age when you get out of it. Five. or like five or six. >> Pull-ups. >> Yeah. >> I My my kids were out of pull-ups. God. wouldn't buy it.

>> Yeah. But you was you around five or six. when you stopped wearing pull-ups. >> I could only assume that I went around. the same rate as my children. So. >> but seven is normal, right? >> For in your experience? >> No, I'm saying. >> you said you stopped at seven. >> Yeah, but I just feel like it's a. community like it's a normal thing. >> I can't speak on worldwide. I can only. speak on my experience. >> Okay. >> But you know some everybody move at a. different place. >> Mhm. >> Are you going to start a restaurant? >> I thought about it. I thought about it. But I I more thought of a concept of. instead of me being the one cooking, uh.

going and having a bunch of different. restaurants that we went to around the. nation come and seasonally cook. So if. you see a video of us going to a place. in Canada or going to a place in Tokyo, that chef can come for six months out of. the year and cook his own special uh. menu and everybody can like rotate. >> That would be dope. And then what about. a TV show like chef like are you have. you thought about getting in production? cuz I think that'll do well for you and. also helping other people out like. >> you know Marco I have been in the space.

uh and this me being transparent with. you uh I have been in the space where I. blessed enough to do a lot of things for. everybody else um and I've never really. took the time to do anything for me or. my family specifically when it comes to. creatively uh this year coming up I. think it's going to be the the year. changer for that or a difference maker. for that uh it's a bunch of stuff that. we working on from shows or. >> uh in person stuff. Uh. >> yeah, I can't wait. But I think it's I.

think it's something that I I only did. it this way because I want to be very. intentional about everything that I do. because I really value the people who. going to come out and do anything for. spend a single dollar. Uh and I I didn't. want to be one of them people that that. was like immediately selling something. orally. >> You wanted to come because you're. genuine. Yeah. >> I appreciate you. Yeah. I just didn't. want to go immediately cuz I feel like. people get what they feel like is fame. and the second they get it they selling. courses or they selling which is nothing. wrong with that but that's just not how. I move. >> Yeah, I feel the same way and I had to. learn right when I was doing like my.

Walmart [ __ ] I was like start doing. standup and. >> they wanted me to do that so soon. But. if I would have took that risk cuz it's. like you get paid it would have hurt my. career cuz one you can get the money one. time but can you keep getting it? The. way I think about it is if you take. money that you know ain't yours, that's. the last money that you gonna get. So if. you take a million dollars, you know. that million dollar a cool. I get I kept. getting it. >> I I was just about to give you so much. I was like, we having a real. conversation. You being normal today. >> No, I'm expecting stuff to jump over the.

top of the the balcony. >> We was talking about me looking 24, right? >> No, we was talking about you being. normal today. >> Yeah. And overall, >> you getting money the ch I never I. didn't notice that until now. >> Oh, it's crazy. I mean, but look, the. thing is buy it one time. That's it. >> That's your world. I'm just. >> Oh, he's talking about me stealing. So, the thing about [laughter]. >> the thing Okay, so look, I. >> Okay, you got it. >> I stole. >> Okay, you got it. Go ahead. >> Okay, so I I stole [ __ ] that I knew. people probably wouldn't know that was.

going to be missing. So, I wasn't a. thief. Like, you know what I'm saying? So, I was one of them ones that sold. like when I go to stores, I should know. that the [ __ ] is missing. There's a lot. of it in here. So, I was one of them. So. I wouldn't I didn't steal from people. who actually need it cuz I didn't want. somebody notice I'm missing them like. where my [ __ ] at cuz they grab my purse. saying. >> not that because she would know like I. steal from grandma cuz we were. struggling. >> So what you going to steal that people. not going to know that you stealing? >> Like if I came where you stay at. >> I'm not about to tell you where I stay. after you just we talking about stealing. cuz I'm going to notice everything you.

steal. Eyes everywhere. >> Yeah. Now you look like somebody that's. very observant. >> Very extremely. >> Did that give you a headache cuz you pay. attention so much to like I'm an. overthinker. So, I overthink everything. >> That's what I say. How do you handle. like. >> the aggressive fans? Because you so calm. and you got to know who you approach. Like, you know what I'm saying? Cuz like. you didn't do it for every like you was. just being you and and you appreciate. everybody that you know support you. So, how do you handle the ones that just. overly do something like is it just like. live that moment and just like or just. >> see it's on the opposite spectrum for.

me. Like I don't necessarily get like. the aggressive fans. More than likely. the people who walk up to me are like. the aunties, the grandmas, the. >> ones that look like me, right? >> You don't get auntie today. >> Uncle. >> Uh, I was about to say I'm not going to. say it. >> Grandpa. >> No. >> Oh, >> I was going to say shunkle. But. >> damn, that's the one like the crackhead. one. Like the one they got together. >> Yeah, let's go with that. >> Yeah. Okay. That's different. >> Sometimes, >> you know, I never know when you being.

serious. >> Do you get that a lot? Do you try to be. serious and people don't take you. serious and people just assume you. playing? >> Do you remember I called you the first. the first time we met and you was in a. club and I said, "What you in a club. for?" You said, "My grandma turning 94. or something like that." Yeah. And I. said, "Oh, for real? Happy birthday to. your grandma." And you said, "Why would. you say happy birthday to my grandma? >> My grandma ain't here. Why would my. grandma be at the club?". >> And I didn't know if you was playing or. not. I I got off the phone and I was. very very confused. >> I like I went and had a full. conversation with everybody around me. It was like, >> "Is it me? Am I tripping?" Yeah,

>> you do that a lot. Is that a thing? >> It's It's I have an open mind of. imagination. >> Open thoughts with Keith Lee at this. point. I'm interviewing you. Go ahead. Sorry. >> I have an open mind and I feel like my. mind is always racing with ADHD thoughts. and I share them. >> I just feel like I sometimes my life is. like Family Guy. If you watch Family. Guy, it's always click. >> little cut scenes. >> Yeah. So that's why. >> So your grandma wasn't at the club with. you that night? >> No. Uhuh. She's not dead. She just she. not dead yet, but she's dying. >> How old is your.

How old is your grandma? >> What was the smirk for? [snorts]. [laughter]. >> She gonna watch this episode. >> No, no, no. Shout out to grandma. Hey, grandma. >> She's dying. She might not watch it. >> Are you being serious? >> I don't know when you being serious. >> No, I'm serious. [clears throat]. >> What's she dying from? >> Um, life. She's 97. >> That's what you told me on the phone and. you said you was in a club with her. >> Yeah, that was that grandma. You want look show [laughter].

your contact. No, no, I'm not going to. show you. I don't take pictures of dying. grandma. This is my grandma number in my. phone. >> My hair done? >> No. Right here. The top one. >> Why you have somebody named as my hair. done? >> I don't know her name when she do my. hair up here at the top. >> My last grandma alive. That's [laughter]. it. save my last grandma alive. That's. really Wait, you didn't plan that.

That's really in your phone. >> Yeah, >> I can't I don't I can't figure you out, Marco. >> I mean, that's the thing. [laughter]. >> I can't I can't I don't know when you. when you find. >> I'm not bullshitting. It's really just. being okay. When you when you actually. meet somebody be you and like I like to. have like, you know, just throw out. things like positive convers. I'm the. wrong person to cry to ever. >> I. >> because I just be like, you get in the. shower. Like if you ever crying, just. get in the shower. >> If you're crying, get in the shower. because it's gonna be hard. >> Get in the who?

And let's get into the call. that we got. >> Hey, Marco. This is William from. Colleen, Texas. And I was calling. because my family just invited me to. come out for Thanksgiving. The only. problem is I can't stand their ass at. all. Everybody be stinking and farting. and messing up the house. And I swear if.

I see my baby brother, I'mma grab a. drumstick and stick it up his ass. So, should I go or should I just stay home? Let me know. >> Just stay at home. What you got? Just. >> Yeah, I would say stay home. >> He just did all that. Like, >> I don't I don't play that. We got to be. family for uh holidays or for. >> Oh, selfish. >> Okay. All right. Uh, next one. >> Hey, Marco, help me out. Tell me if I'm. true. Every year I have the holiday.

parties and everything. I provide the. spot at my house. You know, I got a nice. house. You know, a little mini mansion. And you know, family members come, but. they come empty-handed. They don't bring. no food. They don't bring no drinks or. no drink. And it barely be enough food. Then they. got the nerve to be getting seconds and. packing to-go plates. and they didn't. bring nothing. So, you know, this year. I'm gonna be charging an entry fee.

>> Okay. What's your thoughts on that? >> It's not the craziest idea, right? I. personally don't care if people bring. stuff to my parties, but if you was. going Thanksgiving though, >> I I don't know if I'm paying $20 to go. into somebody Thanksgiving party. >> I agree. The thing with me is once you. open up something, you got to understand. that it might not go as what you plan it. to be. So don't open the door to having. it at your house. >> Expectation going to be too high, too. >> Yeah. Don't never expect. So that's just.

like no difference. When you loan. somebody money, I never think I'm going. to get it back. Yeah. I just if it. happened, it happened. So I feel like. >> for her it sound it was a selfish thing. because she opened her door. >> and it's just like, "Oh, you can come on. in.". >> Yeah. You can't expect nobody to bring. nothing. But at the same time, do you go. to people's house empty-handed? Overall, you know your family. So, she know her. family. So, >> I'm asking I was asking you. >> Huh? >> I was asking you.

They. don't call me Keith. So it kind of like. has become a stage name more than my. normal name. I didn't want that to be.
