Peace and love party people. This is Talib Kuala Lee to BKMC, the MCEO. You are about to hear an excerpt of People's Party hosted by me and my lovely and talented co-host Ms. Jasmine Lee. What up Jasmine?

What up peeps to hear our entire combo and all of our episodes with stars from the game to Lil Kim, to Anthony Anderson, to my sister Tiffany Haddish, subscribe to the Luminary Channel on Apple Podcasts.

Now, one of my favorite jokes from you is a very, very simple joke. This joke is I'm looking at it. One, two, three, four, five, six words. You say, I don't like racism. Thank you.

That's almost like a perfectly written joke. Yeah.

I'm going to speak to people like me who was like, I'm famous for always like calling out racist systems and structures and stuff. So that joke speaks to that in a very efficient way.

But you also, and I don't know how much, and I want you to break it down, I don't know how much of the stuff that you say up in your life is true or not, because I've heard you also in your routine say, look, a lot of stuff is not true.

But you make jokes about your mother being a holocaust today. You make jokes about your grandmother, her racism.

But this joke you had about adopting, being adopted and, you know, you being adopted because you were a white baby. That's an amazing joke.

But then you got fan mail from white supremacist because of this joke. But I wanted you to talk to us about your experience of what you went through in your head when you're doing jokes, which in my opinion are smart jokes on race, but they're taking the wrong way by some aspects of society.

Yeah, I mean, I get it a lot where people, you know, racist people will use a joke that's criticizing racism, but they'll say, well, that's, you know, like, I think the second part of that joke you just brought up was why I don't understand racism. Why would you hate an entire group of people just because of the way they all

are right. And a lot of people get that joke and like, oh, you're making fun of racism. Some people say, that's how it is. That is like, you're right about that. And I don't, I don't know how to be blunt and tell people like, I think it's, it's boring to be on stage and be talking about how morally correct you are.

You know, I, the people call it claptor. You want the audience to be honest. Yes, you're not racist. And like, I don't need to do that during my own time.

I don't want that to. Exactly. And there's nothing funny about it. So I like to be a little challenging, leave a gray area. And I'm happy in interviews to say, give my true intentions, but you can't really change the way people are going to take a joke. You just hope that, you know, you're staying true to yourself and not not pandering to either group.

And you're out against cancel culture and even question is existence and you are very, very more than most unapologetic about your performance. But you also in a very mature way.

Have made decisions to stop doing certain jokes. And I feel like maybe it's not so much a maturity, but like, well, I did that already. You know, where else can I take that? And I find that very interesting that you.

And I think that's sort of self-edit, a self-police before cancel culture does for you. Like, am I correct to say that it's not so much a maturity thing, but more of an artistic thing?

Yeah, I'd say that's true. And part of it's the way that Dave walked away from Cheppel's show because the way someone laughed, you know, it was a specific laugh. If I feel the audience is laughing for the wrong reasons, that will make me sour on a joke. And again, some of the jokes that I've dropped, they're also very short jokes.

And I'm actually losing if I get rid of this. It's not a, I'm not, you know, capitulating to anyone by dropping these jokes. It truly is a personal decision for me.

But yeah, there's some laughs I get where I'm like, oh, that's wrong. They're laughing at the wrong part of that. Let me see how I can adjust this.

That process of seeing a comedian work up to their hour, work up to their special or just, or just work to just make sure that they have the good five minutes, a good 10 minutes. That's my favorite part of comedy.

Seeing the mistakes, seeing a process. Yeah, I mean, you can, I remember once I was in New York and I was writing on Jimmy Fallon and I wasn't writing stuff for myself. Anything I wrote for myself just wasn't working.

So I thought, you know, let's just go up and just start talking to the audience and see how it goes. And it was right after the Chris Brown Rihanna incident.
