00:00It's 105.9 Kiss FM, number one for Smooth, Army, and Old School in the D.
00:04Your fave, Melody Fresh, and I have got a guest in the building, baby!
00:08One of the most hilarious comedians to hit a stage and to hit Instagram, okay?
00:14Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I want to welcome DeLay to the table!
00:18You heard her! You heard her! I'm all up in y'all city, Detroit, and I'm turnt, you hear me?
00:21Now you said you turnt! You was upset! Why are you upset, DeLay?
00:24I'm glad you asked, Melody Fresh. You should have been a journalist.
00:27Let me tell you something, Detroit. I came here last time.
00:30The day before the show, I had 45 tickets sold.
00:33The venue holds 305-307 if you want to squeeze some more people in without the fire marship getting upset.
00:39I was upset. Down and depressed.
00:44Low on my luck.
00:46Downtrodden.
00:48And then I went to sleep. Hallelujah.
00:51And I rose, amen, from my slumber.
00:54Upon rising from my slumber, I received a text message from my management team telling me that the show had sold out.
01:03Joy coming in the morning, okay.
01:05Chandelay, bobo, katashaka. Roll, roll, roll your boat.
01:08And when I found out that it had sold out, I said, oh, Detroit really be on their last minute stuff.
01:14Yes, they do.
01:14Hey, Detroit, listen to me.
01:17I'm selling out everything, you hear me?
01:19Let them know.
01:19I mean, everything getting sold out.
01:21And I want to apologize because some of y'all was like, why you don't have a show Sunday?
01:25And I told you I didn't.
01:27But I stand corrected.
01:29Because I'm only human.
01:31Didn't Jeffrey Osborne say that?
01:33Mistakes happen.
01:34I'm only human.
01:38Is that Jeffrey?
01:38Is that Jeffrey?
01:39I don't know what Jeffrey, I think he's selling A1.
01:41But anyway, I am going to be here for three days, three shows, Father's Day.
01:46We don't want them same typical gifts.
01:48We want a real gift.
01:50Yes.
01:50Get your father, your cousin, your brother, your uncle, all of them are fathers to come
01:55out to see D-Lay live.
01:57You see me on the internet.
01:58Yes, but you got to see that thing in person.
02:01Do you hear me, Ms. Fresh?
02:03Do you hear me?
02:04Come on, Melody Fresh.
02:06Three days.
02:07I'm about to say January.
02:08June, 14th, 15th, 16th, 8 o'clock, all three days.
02:11All three days.
02:12D-Lay, Josh Adams, Melvin Bender.
02:15It's about to be a time.
02:16That's right.
02:16Now, here's the deal.
02:17This is what I can tell you.
02:18They're telling me that the first show is almost sold out.
02:21They are telling me that this is Friday.
02:23This is the Friday one.
02:25I don't want nothing that's almost.
02:27Yeah.
02:27You want an almost good man or you want a good man?
02:30Was it that the great philosopher, Brandy, that said almost doesn't count?
02:34Shandley, that woman's an apostle.
02:36Almost does not count.
02:38Listen to me, Detroit.
02:39Detroit, everybody that's under the command of my voice, I implore you to go get your
02:46tickets to see D-Lay.
02:47I'm talking in third person now.
02:49First of all, let me give a shout out to your assistant.
02:51Okay?
02:52Brother Will.
02:53Brother Will is the engineer.
02:54Yes.
02:55Let me tell you something.
02:55You know how I knew you were smart?
02:57Your glasses.
02:58Anytime somebody do this to me right here, I'm like, oh, that boy working the geek squad
03:04or something.
03:05You look smart.
03:06You look like you got some kind of vaccine that people going to need in about 2029.
03:10You look very intelligent, young man.
03:12Let me just tell you that right now.
03:13Detroit, I'm here and I need to know what some halal food is.
03:16Oh, we got you.
03:17I need some halal food.
03:19We got you.
03:19You understand me?
03:20And everybody know what I'm talking about.
03:21I need that halal food in my life.
03:23Yes.
03:23Detroit, you know, I was live last night on my Facebook page and two women was like,
03:27when you coming to Detroit?
03:28They was flirting.
03:28When you coming to Detroit, D-Lay?
03:31I said, I'm glad you asked.
03:32I'm glad you asked.
03:33You should have been a journalist.
03:34I'm going to be in your town tomorrow.
03:37Because people will be waiting until you leave to be like, when you going to come back?
03:40When you coming back?
03:41Because I got some fair weather things.
03:42You should have came today, yes.
03:42I'm here in the flesh.
03:44I got some fair weather.
03:45Let me tell you something.
03:46I don't know what you do with your skin, Melody Fresh, but you need your own filter.
03:51Hallelujah!
03:53Shout out to D.I. Gold Beauty Cosmetics.
03:55They take care of my skin.
03:56You got to get you an esthetician.
03:58We're going to have to get you a stop before you leave up out of here.
04:00Get you a Father's Day facial.
04:02Don't play with me.
04:02Do not play with me.
04:04For real.
04:04You heard her.
04:05Listen to me.
04:06All of the Melody Fresh fans, y'all heard her say it.
04:08Brother Will.
04:10Man, you a doctor or something.
04:12Dr. Will, you heard her say it.
04:13I want my facial.
04:15Melody Fresh just promised me a Father's Day special.
04:18And I am a father.
04:18Shout out to my sons, Caleb and JoJo.
04:21Yes.
04:21They out there living life.
04:22He just graduated.
04:23My son just graduated.
04:23Yes.
04:24Congratulations.
04:24That's right.
04:25Your son, all of the graduates.
04:26That's right.
04:26It's graduate season right now.
04:27That's right.
04:28Now, this is not your first rodeo.
04:30You've been doing comedy how many years?
04:32I've been doing comedy 21 years.
04:3521.
04:3521 years.
04:36Legally.
04:37Yes.
04:37That's the legal age.
04:38That's the legal age.
04:39I started off, for people that don't know and don't have my book, did you see me plug
04:43that?
04:43Because I'm an author.
04:44You got to plug that.
04:44Are we going to talk about it?
04:45I'm a full-fledged author in these streets.
04:47Okay.
04:47Dr. Will, I am an author.
04:50They know that I started my career.
04:51I was a blackjack dealer and just dealing cards and talking and you never know when God
04:56is going to just push somebody in your way to say, hey, listen, let me show you how
04:59to elevate what you're supposed to be doing with your gift.
05:01And ever since then, I've been running.
05:03I ain't stopping.
05:04I love it.
05:04I'm too crazy to quit, Melody Fresh.
05:06Absolutely.
05:06I'm too crazy to quit.
05:07I'm really too crazy to quit.
05:08And it don't fade away.
05:08When you got it, you got it.
05:10That's true.
05:10It don't fade.
05:11That's absolutely true.
05:12So from blackjack dealing to nationwide stages, how could you even picture your life would
05:20be like this now?
05:20I didn't.
05:21Let me tell you something.
05:22I wanted to be a stripper.
05:23Now, here's the deal.
05:24Now, this is a family show.
05:25So just hear me clearly.
05:26Hear me clearly.
05:27Okay.
05:28I don't want the FCC coming at us at all.
05:31Please.
05:31Okay, please.
05:32I wanted to take my clothes off, Melody.
05:34I wanted people to see what I see in the bathroom when I'm by myself.
05:37I didn't.
05:37I just didn't.
05:38I felt it was selfish of me to just have all this kept to myself.
05:41So I never got a chance to really practice it, but I would be in the mirror.
05:45You was getting your junior wine on.
05:47Oh, come on.
05:47Pony?
05:47Oh, my gosh.
05:49When Pony came out?
05:50Let me tell you something.
05:51Every dude wore jeans with his shirt off.
05:53Yeah.
05:54When I started doing comedy, I didn't like it.
05:56I didn't like comedy initially.
05:57Really?
05:58No.
05:58Interesting.
05:58It's really an art.
06:00It's a craft, and you have to learn how to perform and how to do this, because people
06:04don't really understand that onstage funny versus offstage funny are two totally different
06:07things.
06:07Absolutely.
06:08And I had to learn it.
06:08So the first time I was on stage, I bombed.
06:10I did not do well at all.
06:12Did you?
06:12That's why when people say, well, the first time I saw him on stage, I knew he was a
06:17star.
06:17You're a damn liar.
06:18The lifetime stories, you know, he was a star.
06:20I'm a hallmark.
06:21I'm a hallmark story.
06:22To sixth grade, you know.
06:22No, I didn't.
06:23I bombed.
06:24And as the story is to be written, this lady came up to me after my show, and she said,
06:30hey, I saw you on stage tonight, and I want to book you for another show.
06:36And I said, ma'am, I don't know what you saw on stage, but I'm never doing this again.
06:40I've got some friends talking me into doing this.
06:42I'm not even supposed to be doing this, because I was a blackjack dealer, and this gentleman
06:44walked up to me.
06:45He happened to be the owner of this huge restaurant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a seafood restaurant,
06:50and he said, hey, man, you should do comedy.
06:52Yeah.
06:52And I just brush it off, right?
06:54Six months later, people just, listen to me, people.
06:56You never know how people will be able to receive your gift, and sometimes we don't even know
07:00it's a gift.
07:01Yeah.
07:02And this guy came back six months later.
07:03He said, hey, man, you still wasting your time?
07:06Mm.
07:06And I'm like, what are you talking about?
07:08He said, I talked to you a few months about doing comedy, and you should do it.
07:12And I'm like, well, how am I going to make money?
07:13Right.
07:13Because I didn't even know that comedians, I didn't know.
07:15I had no idea.
07:15I'm clueless.
07:17And he said, man, I'm going to get you in with my guy at the Funny Bone, and we're going to get
07:20you a show.
07:22I was like, okay.
07:24I said, I'm going to go on break, and let me think of it, and you think about it, and
07:27when I come back, you know.
07:28Let me sit on it.
07:29I went back, and the dealer that was sitting next to me was over here in the conversation.
07:33He said, hey, man, I think that guy's right.
07:35Man, you are funny.
07:36You should do it.
07:37And I'm like, you think so?
07:38He said, yes.
07:38I go back up, and I'm like, hey, listen, you tell your friend at the Funny Bone that
07:42I want to do comedy.
07:43I said, all right, cool.
07:44One second.
07:46Hey, man, I got this young comedian.
07:47You're going to love him.
07:48I think he's a star.
07:50Uh-huh.
07:51Uh-huh.
07:52Okay.
07:53Okay.
07:54Bye-bye.
07:55Okay.
07:56You're on Wednesday.
07:57I say Wednesday?
07:58Today?
07:58Monday?
07:59Man, I need time.
08:01And he said, no, man, you got 48 hours.
08:03Went up, did it.
08:03Didn't do well.
08:04But this lady was so impressionable on me, and she said, hey, you got to do one more
08:09show.
08:10And I did it, and I heard the laughter for the first time.
08:13And that's what hooked me.
08:15I said, oh, I can do this.
08:17I just got to learn it, and I have to put in the work.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Because we're in an instantaneous gratification era.
08:22Oh, talk about it.
08:23Come on.
08:24In which whenever we see something on the internet, we think it happened just like that.
08:28Yeah, overnight success, everything.
08:29I've been doing comedy 21, 22 years.
08:31You know what I mean?
08:32And I'm outstanding.
08:33You hear me, Detroit?
08:34And I'm going to be in your town tonight, tomorrow, and Father's Day.
08:38So come out and get this.
08:39This is not mine.
08:40This is the gift that Allah gave me.
08:42This is not mine.
08:43And I'm here to give it away to you.
08:45You got to share.
08:46You got to share.
08:47Absolutely.
08:47You're on this show.
08:48You're doing this show with all these other fathers.
08:51Yes.
08:51I love the idea of it.
08:52I love it.
08:53Some great other comedians.
08:54You know, bringing these fathers out.
08:55One of my favorite comedians out of Detroit, Josh Adams and Melvin Bender, they are absolutely
08:59hilarious.
08:59Yes.
09:00So if you need a gut-busting laugh.
09:02That's right.
09:02On a Friday.
09:03Come on now.
09:03On a Saturday.
09:04Come on.
09:04Or on a Sunday.
09:05Come on.
09:06You gots to be in one of my.
09:07Glory.
09:08Glory.
09:09You gots to be there because it's worth every penny for these tickets.
09:13Shout out to our ticket winners.
09:14It's going to be an absolute time.
09:16Hold on.
09:16Speaking of ticket prices, let me tell y'all something.
09:18Somebody called me.
09:20Well, they hit me in my DM.
09:21Say, hey, listen.
09:22You think I can get a discount?
09:23I said, no, no, no.
09:24You can't get a discount on the show.
09:27You can't give it to me for $9.99.
09:29No, I'm not chicken.
09:30I am delay.
09:32You get chicken for $9.99.
09:33You're not getting me for no $9.99.
09:34You're going to get me for the full.
09:35Let me tell you something.
09:36When you walk in Louis Vuitton, that price is that price.
09:40Yeah.
09:40Gucci, that price is that price.
09:42Plus tax.
09:42That's why I shop at Ross.
09:43So let me tell you something, people.
09:44I love Ross.
09:45If you see me tonight in some Ross apparel, just know that I'm rocking it to the end.
09:49I'm going to get a sponsorship of Ross.
09:50No matter how high I get.
09:52Listen, Melody, you're going to see me in two or three years, I'll pull up to Ross in a Phantom.
09:57The only Phantom in Ross parking lot.
09:58Every time.
10:00Shopping, shopping, shopping.
10:02I love it.
10:02You can't beat them prices.
10:03We just got two Ross in Michigan, too.
10:05So I'm late.
10:06Oh, no.
10:06Yes.
10:06Here's the deal about Ross.
10:07Let me tell you something.
10:08Dr. Will, let me tell you something about Ross.
10:09Ross is amazing.
10:10But don't expect to get the same customer service that you get out of the normal department store.
10:15Ain't nobody greeting you.
10:16Hey, welcome to Ross.
10:17How are we?
10:18The security guard sometimes depends on your location.
10:19That ain't a security guard.
10:21That is called a.
10:22Lost prevention.
10:23Hey, Halle Shundley.
10:24He's lost prevention.
10:25And let me tell you something.
10:26Them people are serious.
10:27You can't be that serious without a gun.
10:29You need a weapon, sir.
10:30They do.
10:30You know what I'm saying?
10:30You ain't got no spray.
10:32You ain't got no.
10:33You ain't got no floss.
10:34No floss.
10:34You can choke people with floss.
10:36You ain't got no floss.
10:37You don't have anything.
10:38But I love Ross.
10:40Ross, speaking of Ross, you will see me Saturday night.
10:43But you mean, I promise you, Melody, you're not even going to know it's Ross.
10:47You hear me?
10:48I got you.
10:48The only people who are going to know it's Ross are the people that sold it to me.
10:50Yeah.
10:51You know Ross sold me two pair of left shoes.
10:55I believe it.
10:55Two pair.
10:56They left a sensor on my son's outfit the other day.
10:59And they lock you up for it.
11:00And they put it.
11:01And they took it off.
11:02They didn't take it off.
11:03It's on them.
11:04Ross, I think I'm going to come.
11:05Where is this Ross located?
11:06Because I'm going to go visit the Ross.
11:07We have one in Southgate.
11:09And I got to see where the other one is.
11:11Okay.
11:11I haven't been.
11:12I'm going to find it.
11:12So I'm going to give you the address so you can check it out.
11:14Yes.
11:15Check out that Michigan Ross.
11:16That's right.
11:16Come on out in Michigan Ross.
11:18So now you went over your journey.
11:20Yes.
11:21Now you have another gift that you have tapped into.
11:23Talk to me.
11:23The gift of being an author.
11:26Let's talk about the book.
11:27Oh, man.
11:27You know what?
11:28Now this is my author's voice.
11:29Now, because I'm an author, I can't just use the comedic voice because I won't be taken
11:34seriously.
11:34Now, I'm not the first.
11:35Sophistication.
11:36First of all, I want to say kudos to you for doing your homework.
11:39Yes, I am an author.
11:41I got another book coming out.
11:44It's been sitting out.
11:45And I'm not doing the, and I'm not knocking people that do it.
11:48I didn't do the AI book.
11:50I didn't do no.
11:51My book is really written.
11:52Shout out to my writing partner.
11:54Angela Artis.
11:55We took time to, it took us like three or four months to gather it, and then she had
11:59to put it all together.
12:00So it was like that old school, you know what I mean?
12:04That old school work of producing a book.
12:07But my book, man, it's available on my website.
12:09I also have an audio book.
12:12I have an audio book.
12:13The name of the book is Delay, The Journey Behind the Smile.
12:15It talks about my life from the beginning stages of me growing up without a mother or father,
12:19and then my grandmother raising me, and then she passed, and then me trying to figure
12:23out life on my own.
12:24All the way up into my comedy career and how it launched and who I became and the things
12:28that I'm still striving for today.
12:29So the story is connectable to anybody, any human.
12:33It's no color base in it.
12:35Anybody that has seen the story of somebody coming from behind, that's what you're getting
12:39out of my book, The Journey Behind the Smile.
12:41You can go to itsdelayed.com to get it.
12:43And I know a lot of people don't want to read, but you can download it.
12:45And my audio book is different from the book, so it's different.
12:48It's got, my audio book is, you listen like it's a movie.
12:52Okay.
12:53It's sound effects.
12:54Are you narrating it?
12:54It's my voice.
12:55Yes.
12:56Yes.
12:57Melody Fresh, you have to say that because some people, listen, I didn't want a white
12:59man saying my story.
13:01No, for real.
13:01Because for real.
13:02I want to be able to, because you need to hear my voice, my authenticity in what I'm
13:06saying so you can be able to digest and be like, okay, wow, I can relate to that.
13:09Yes.
13:09Because when you read it, you really connect with it.
13:12You know what I mean?
13:12I got a post up on my social media right now, on my Facebook and on my Instagram, talking
13:17about, a piece of it is talking about my dad and how my dad wasn't there and how we
13:20were trying to rekindle that relationship.
13:22So it connects.
13:23It connects with people.
13:24I love that.
13:24So yes, I am an author with another book that's on the way, but the audio book is what people
13:29are really, really digging.
13:30I'm looking forward to that myself, honestly.
13:32I'm a busy, I got two kids, I got a business, I got a full-time job, a lot of people, you
13:37know, from Detroit, we hustlers.
13:38Yes.
13:39So it's easy for me to turn on something and listen rather than sit down and read.
13:44And I love to read, but I just don't have the time anymore to sit uninterrupted and get
13:49it done.
13:49If I can listen to it and I can fold the laundry, get the dishes done, feed these kids, wash
13:53these kids, I can, you know, that works for me.
13:55That's right.
13:56I'm happy to hear that, honestly.
13:58So, you know, it's Father's Day weekend.
14:00That's right.
14:00You are a father.
14:01That's right.
14:01You didn't have a father like that growing up.
14:04Let's talk about how that has, you know, changed and, you know, set your tone for your kids.
14:10Because if you didn't have the example, you know, how did you figure out how to be the
14:14dad for your kids?
14:14Great, great question.
14:16I'm telling you, this woman should have been a journalist.
14:17Dr.
14:18Will, first of all, my grandmother raised me when I was a little boy because my daddy
14:22passed.
14:23Okay.
14:25He didn't die.
14:27He just said, I don't want to be no damn daddy.
14:29I'll pass.
14:30And then he got up out of there.
14:31And now I am back feeling good about things because now I'm the father that I always wanted
14:36to my kids.
14:37Yeah.
14:37And I think that's what you do.
14:39And now you don't hold resentment.
14:40You don't hold resentment.
14:41You find a way.
14:42I had to go to therapy.
14:43You know, a lot of black men, we don't really, we don't do therapy or we don't really, you
14:48know.
14:48Want to talk about their problems?
14:49No, we don't.
14:50We don't want to do that.
14:51And I'm telling you, listen to me, gentlemen.
14:54Everybody that's under the command of my voice, it was so refreshing.
14:59You hear me?
14:59And I didn't know I even had, writing my book was one of them.
15:03You got to dive in.
15:04Yes.
15:04When I got a chance to sit down with a therapist and talk about what I had been going through,
15:07I didn't even know those emotions were in me.
15:09I thought I was like, well, he ain't been there.
15:10So I can't have any feelings about it.
15:12But no, it comes there.
15:14You'll get to that point.
15:15And I'm a big advocate of therapy.
15:20Yeah.
15:20You know, because in our community, we just don't see it being, now.
15:23Now we see it.
15:24It's more of a conversation, but seeing the results, saying you come out on the other
15:29side, that you did the work, and the results were worth it.
15:32The time that you put in was worth it.
15:33Correct.
15:34That's what we need to see.
15:35Correct.
15:35So that is awesome.
15:37Yes.
15:37And shout out to all the people that came out, you know, that were in a position like
15:40me, that grew up fatherless, and then you, you know, you knew what it felt like to
15:44not have that.
15:45Yeah.
15:45And you could do two things.
15:47You can be bitter and be like, eh, you know what, I don't care.
15:49And or you can say, you know what, I'm going to pour into these kids everything that
15:53I've always wanted as a father.
15:55Yeah.
15:55And that's why I have the connection with my kids.
15:57Like I have that, and it's necessary.
16:00And that in itself was healing for me.
16:02You know what I mean?
16:04My sons are amazing.
16:05They are a mirror image of me from the looks to the, you know, the mannerisms.
16:11Yeah.
16:11My kids are sharp, man.
16:13They grew up in Mandarin.
16:15You know, we put them in challenging courses.
16:17They were speaking Mandarin from kindergarten to 10th grade, and 10th grade, my son came
16:22and he said, Dad, that's enough.
16:24Yeah.
16:25That's a lot.
16:26That's enough for this Mandarin, bro.
16:27That's enough.
16:28What are we doing, man?
16:30You want me to, you want me to, you trying to get rid of me and just move me to Beijing?
16:33Yeah, move it.
16:33What are you doing?
16:34You know?
16:35And I got it, because it was, they would finish regular school, and they would go to Chinese
16:39school, and it was, it was so much.
16:41Yeah.
16:41And they were the only black kids in Mandarin, you know what I mean?
16:45And we just, but that just goes to how I feel about young men.
16:49I think they should always be pushed to their greatest potential.
16:53And that's what I do with my boys, because I want them to be able to instill this, because
16:57I broke the cycle, you know what I mean?
16:58So now they see what it's like to have a father around, and me and my ex, you know, we're great
17:04friends now, you know what I mean?
17:06I think you can have a co-parenting relationship without it being bitter.
17:09Absolutely, you can.
17:10And we need more examples of that.
17:12Yes, yes, absolutely.
17:13This is a great interview.
17:15Do you hear me?
17:16This is good, Dr. Will.
17:19This, are you kidding me, Dr. Phil?
17:20That's not your uncle.
17:22No.
17:22My bad, my bad.
17:23All white men without related delay.
17:25My bad.
17:25I'm so sorry.
17:26I'm so sorry.
17:26I am so sorry.
17:28Well, yes, that is, I'm so happy to hear that.
17:30Yes.
17:30Are either one of your children going into comedy?
17:32What do they want to do?
17:33They, well, they, they, they've been around it since they were kids.
17:39And for them, they were like, you know what?
17:41We just want to be the background.
17:42We don't want that.
17:43We don't want to be out front because I did a video.
17:46Um, I don't know what I can say on this.
17:50I don't know.
17:50You're all good.
17:51This video.
17:52So you're good.
17:52I can say balls?
17:53Yeah.
17:53Okay.
17:54So I did a video about, you know, my youngest son.
17:57You know, I used to get these haircuts and I used to do these haircut videos and I would
18:00be like, you spin me around.
18:01Let me see my hair.
18:01Oh man, I look good.
18:02This is nice.
18:03Wow.
18:03So my son's been watching it and I walked in on my son one day, imitate me.
18:07And, and, and I just so happened just to the, and he's filming himself, right?
18:12And he's walking in.
18:12He was like, yes, I look good.
18:13I look like my dad.
18:14And I walked in on him and he just kind of looked and I said, you do look good, son.
18:18You do look good.
18:19And just to think you used to be in my balls and now we're face to face and he just looks
18:25and in the background, here's the kicker in the background, I'm always listening to jazz.
18:30So there's smooth jazz playing in the background while he's looking at me like, what the hell
18:36is he talking about?
18:39So me and my sons, man, we, we, we, we, we have a bond like no other, but they don't
18:46want any part of this being in front of the camera thing.
18:48They just want to be behind the scene.
18:49They want to be low key, but they're every spit of their dad.
18:52I love that.
18:53I love that.
18:54Delay, ladies and gentlemen, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, one mic with Detroit's own Melvin Bender
18:59and Josh Adams.
19:00It's going to be a great show.
19:02That's right.
19:02Welcome back to the D.
19:04Yes.
19:04Whatever else you need.
19:05We got you on the Halal.
19:06We got you on the Ross.
19:07What else you need?
19:08What else we got to find you to do?
19:08Wait a minute.
19:09T.C. leaving out stuff already, Dr. Will.
19:11The facial.
19:12Yes.
19:12Open the facial.
19:13We got you.
19:14We got you.
19:15Yes.
19:15Not too far.
19:15We got you.
19:16Yes.
19:16Now here's the deal.
19:17I went to an Asian esthetician before.
19:21I don't say, it was a parlor.
19:23I went to a parlor and I wanted to get a facial and I don't know.
19:27So, I go to sleep during my facial.
19:30You relaxed.
19:30I'm out of here.
19:31Yeah.
19:31I'm out of here.
19:31I wake up.
19:32It's two Asian women on my feet.
19:33I'm like, hey, what y'all doing on my feet?
19:35Get off my feet.
19:36I'm ticklish.
19:37Somebody about to get kicked in the nose.
19:38I'm ticklish.
19:40Hey, I told you to stay up here.
19:42Right.
19:42My upper extremities.
19:43Why are you tickling feet?
19:44I don't like nobody touching my feet.
19:46I don't.
19:47Uh-uh.
19:47Don't touch my feet.
19:48Don't touch my feet.
19:49Don't touch my feet.
19:50That's why when I was Christian, I couldn't get baptized.
19:52Because they was baptizing people by their feet in my church.
19:54They was.
19:55What church was that?
19:57It wasn't a church.
19:57It was a garage.
19:58Oh, no one.
20:01Okay.
20:03Okay.
20:05Okay.
20:06You traumatized Will.
20:07Oh, my God.
20:07I am.
20:08I am.
20:09I am.
20:10Well, we got you on the facial, the halal ticket.
20:13And we got you on.
20:14What else was it?
20:15Oh, the Ross.
20:16Okay, wait.
20:16Y'all have to.
20:16Wait, wait.
20:17You guys have.
20:18Oh, I can't eat that.
20:19Coney Island doesn't have halal.
20:21There's no halal Coney Island, is it?
20:22Now, that I'm not sure of.
20:24Are you born and raised here, though?
20:26Of course.
20:26Okay.
20:27Okay, so you know.
20:28Of course.
20:28Yeah, yeah.
20:29Give me the neighborhoods that I should not tarry around.
20:32Tarry.
20:32Well, you're not too far from one, but you know what I'm saying?
20:36You know what?
20:37You got your security, so you're good.
20:38You got security with you.
20:38I got it.
20:39I got real security, too, because I used to have homeboy security.
20:42I got real train security.
20:43Mac and B-Wick.
20:44We're going to stay clear of that area, you know.
20:46B-Wick?
20:46Mac and B-Wick.
20:47Mac and B-Wick.
20:48Mm-hmm.
20:48We going to, mm-mm.
20:49It sound violent, okay?
20:51Mac and B-Wick.
20:53It sound like two bad brothers that just said, you know what?
20:55We're going to terrorize everybody.
20:56Who?
20:57Mac and B-Wick.
20:58Oh, okay.
20:59Were they twins?
20:59No, they fraternal twins.
21:00Right.
21:01Oh, okay.
21:02They'll tell you down like a twin, but yeah.
21:04No, you good.
21:05We got you.
21:05We're going to keep you.
21:06Dion lack in the building.
21:07Okay.
21:08Downtown is, we've upgraded our downtown.
21:11Come on, gentrification?
21:13Yes.
21:13It is nice.
21:15Now, I know roaches are nothing.
21:16You better stop it.
21:17Yeah, so you good.
21:18Look at y'all opening.
21:19One mic is going to be good.
21:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:20Come on, ain't nobody got no flies or nothing?
21:22No, no.
21:23They don't even sell fly swatters around here.
21:25Mm-mm.
21:25That's how free of flies they are.
21:26Come on, Detroit.
21:28I see y'all over here with the new look.
21:30Yes, it is the new look.
21:31You know what?
21:31We got our buffs on.
21:32We got some Cardi's on that one.
21:33Let me tell you something.
21:34When I got to y'all airport, the airport is different.
21:36Yeah, it's nice.
21:37I feel like we have one of the best airports personally.
21:39Y'all gave y'all airport a facial.
21:41Yes.
21:41Because it's clean.
21:42That thing is clean now.
21:43I like that.
21:44White glove.
21:45Come on.
21:46Detroit is doing that thing.
21:47I'm proud of y'all.
21:48I'm proud of this city.
21:50We're doing what y'all doing.
21:50We on fire right now.
21:51What's your team?
21:52What's your football team?
21:53Wait, first of all, the Saints.
21:54New Orleans Saints.
21:55We're going to crush y'all, but.
21:56Okay, let me back up for a second.
21:58Because y'all had something that happened in y'all's city a couple of days ago.
22:01I put it on my social media.
22:02It was three Detroit men.
22:04It was three of them.
22:05Now, I hope they're here to call in and to attest to what I'm saying.
22:11I don't know if this is a normal thing in Detroit, but I know these three men were chasing pigs.
22:17It's chasing pigs just out a wild boar.
22:20Excuse me, not a pig.
22:21A wild boar.
22:21I don't know where they were.
22:22That sounds like some East-ass stuff.
22:24I'm from the West Side.
22:24It was definitely in Detroit.
22:26It was definitely in Detroit.
22:27That ain't normal.
22:27That's not normal, no.
22:28It was two dudes with their shirts off and another dude had his shirt on.
22:31I'm like, I don't know if that's the protocol.
22:32Is that tackling a pig etiquette?
22:34Is that you can't tackle a pig?
22:36But he had no shirt on.
22:37I was like, is that like a thing to do?
22:39Absolutely not.
22:40It's not even in the country.
22:41It's just a random.
22:42It's a one-off.
22:42That's a one-off.
22:44When you see a horse in the hood, it's just a one-off.
22:46It ain't no.
22:46That's true.
22:47And none of the horses have saddles.
22:48Why y'all don't put no saddles on the hood?
22:49They don't never have no.
22:50Come on, put a saddle on the horse in the hood.
22:53The weave don't be calm.
22:54That horse here don't be calm enough.
22:56Hey, the weave don't be calm.
22:59It don't be calm.
22:59It don't be calm.
23:01Because you know if it was silky smooth, it didn't get cut.
23:03You can go straight through it.
23:04You can go straight.
23:04And here's the thing.
23:06I don't know if y'all know this.
23:08I'm going to give y'all some delay facts.
23:09I'm here to just spread facts.
23:10I'm not just here to spread jovialness and happiness.
23:16I'm going to give y'all some information.
23:18Yes.
23:18Horses with nappy hair run faster.
23:21I said it.
23:22Horses with nappy hair run faster.
23:24So put my money for next year's Derby.
23:26Oh, next year's Derby, don't listen to the horse name.
23:29Get a visual of the horse.
23:31Take a look.
23:32Whichever one has the nappiest mane.
23:34That's the one.
23:35That's your winner.
23:36That's the one.
23:36That is your winner.
23:37We on it.
23:38Nappy hair.
23:39We on it.
23:39Always a winner.
23:40I'm in your city, Detroit, baby.
23:42Yes.
23:42I'm in this thing.
23:43Let's go on and get tonight out of the way.
23:45Sell it out.
23:45Go on and get that thing sold out.
23:47Get those tickets, yes.
23:47And get your daddy and your uncle and your brother and your cousins and anybody that's
23:51a father, a delay show ticket.
23:55Yeah.
23:55You hear me?
23:56Make this Father's Day one to remember with some amazing comedian fathers.
24:00Last thing before we get up out of here.
24:01I don't know why it is this.
24:03I don't know why I was even thinking this.
24:05He got to take the glasses off.
24:06I got to take the glasses off.
24:07Whenever I show up to this city, I don't know why.
24:12I think somebody big is supposed to come pick me up.
24:15I want Big Sean to come.
24:16I want somebody to come.
24:18Don't give me no car.
24:20Go get me another celebrity to just come.
24:22Come get me.
24:24Come get me.
24:25I don't know why I want Eminem to come get me.
24:27I just want somebody.
24:29He was too busy prepping for the concert.
24:32Eminem got a concert?
24:32We just had a huge concert for our reopening of the Michigan Central Station.
24:37It was dope.
24:38Diana Ross was performing.
24:39Diana Ross and Eminem and we're on one stage.
24:41Hold on.
24:42Amazing.
24:43Diana Ross?
24:44The one and only.
24:45Can I tell you a secret?
24:46Mm-hmm.
24:47And then I'm going to be out of here.
24:48I'm going to be out y'all hair.
24:50I'm going to be out y'all heart hair.
24:51You're good.
24:51When I was a kid, I was so madly infatuated with Diana Ross.
24:57She's beautiful.
24:57She kissed Michael Jackson at a war show and I cried.
25:01I cried.
25:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
25:07I cried.
25:08And the tears would fill up in the well.
25:13I cried, man.
25:14I was eight.
25:15I was crying like a man.
25:17Oh, my God.
25:18Crying like a man with a broken heart.
25:19That's what I was doing.
25:20So, Diana, if you were in town, oh, my goodness, I would love for you to come out and see me
25:25and maybe possibly we have a meet and greet one-on-one.
25:30Is Diana single?
25:32I'm not sure.
25:33I need to look that up.
25:34My bad.
25:34I jumped all the way out there.
25:35I jumped all the way out there.
25:36Diana, I'm sorry if you got somebody.
25:38I'm sorry.
25:39You get your Dale King on right now.
25:40I'm sorry.
25:41She was like, can I beat her?
25:43K-Hole.
25:44Come on.
25:45Diana's still amazing.
25:46She's a beautiful queen.
25:47She's always going to be a queen status for me.
25:49But that's not a joke.
25:50I really cried.
25:51When she kissed my girl, I was like, she don't love me no more.
25:53She don't love me no more.
25:54You had her posters up?
25:56Yes.
25:56Like, are posters still a thing for kids?
25:59No.
25:59We have to look this up.
25:59No.
26:00Kids don't know about posters.
26:01No.
26:01Word of Magazine.
26:02What?
26:03Like, I remember having all those posters.
26:05I just look at old pictures in my room like, what do the kids have now?
26:08Do they really just have, like, mom and dad decorations?
26:10On their phone.
26:11Stuff is on their phone.
26:12They don't put the stuff.
26:12Because things were, that wasn't tangible to us to go on social media and see this.
26:20So they have no need to put, you know what I mean, out from the show my age, there was
26:27a lady that ran with Prince named Apollonia.
26:30There was a very exotic, at this time it was exotic, but it was just a bathing suit.
26:34Exotic, beautiful picture of Apollonia.
26:37And my uncle, I'll never forget, his name is Travis.
26:39He said, he said, nephew.
26:41Nephew.
26:42Nephew, let me show you something.
26:44I said, what you got to show me?
26:45Nephew, come over here.
26:46And he said, don't tell, don't tell, don't tell mama what I'm about to show you.
26:49Because this right here.
26:50And he had it rolled up under his mattress.
26:52That's a roll up.
26:52He had it rolled up and it was rolling.
26:54What you silly with?
26:55A rubber band.
26:56He popped that rubber band off and he, and he unrolled it and then it rolled back up.
27:01Right.
27:02So he had to roll it back down.
27:02And I seen it and my eight-year-old eyes said, oh my God.
27:07I covered my face.
27:08I said, oh my gosh, I can't see this.
27:09Can I see this?
27:10Because that, that was exotic.
27:12You know what I mean?
27:12That was like over the edge.
27:14But no, nobody's doing posters anymore.
27:16No.
27:16That's crazy.
27:17No posters.
27:18That literally just crossed my mind.
27:20Yeah, posters.
27:21No posters.
27:22No posters.
27:22I was so excited to get them pages and tape them on my wall.
27:26I had to get a whole new paint job because I done taped and re-taped.
27:29Okay, I didn't do tape.
27:30I had thumb, I had thumbtacks.
27:32Oh, yes.
27:33The little thumbtacks.
27:34Mm-hmm.
27:34Right, the thumbtacks.
27:35Because we didn't live, we lived in an apartment.
27:36I lived in like a three-bedroom apartment.
27:38And we used the thumbtacks and you put the hole right over the top.
27:42Right.
27:42You put one in the middle at the bottom and then you put the corners up.
27:45Because if you open your window, then it's going to make the paint.
27:48Yeah, don't let a breeze come through that.
27:49And I had a fan in my window.
27:51See, that's another thing.
27:52Ain't nobody got no fans in the window.
27:53Do people still have fans in their windows?
27:54In the hood, yes.
27:56In McBrick and Bickrack?
27:58Right.
28:00I missed that community up.
28:01I want to apologize to that whole community.
28:04What's the name of it, Dr. Will McBrick?
28:07Which one?
28:08The one that we close by with the danger in it.
28:10Oh, Mac and B-Wick.
28:11Mac and B-Wick.
28:11There's definitely some fans in the window over there.
28:12That sounds like a Cartoon Network.
28:14It's definitely some fans, yeah.
28:15Mac and B-Wick, but there ain't no cartoons over there.
28:17Oh, there's no animation.
28:19Oh, it's real life, ladies and gentlemen.
28:21Oh, Mac.
28:24Let me get out of the studio.
28:26Let me get out of the studio.
28:26First of all, with the air on hell.
28:28Y'all ain't even trying to fix it.
28:29It is on hell in here.
28:30Goodness, I'm sweating like a new inmate.
