And you can have a private island to hang out on, but everybody has to start somewhere. And when you started out, it was rough. - It was tough going in the beginning. - For me, yeah. In the beginning. heck yeah, it was tough. Uh...I mean...you know... when talking about a comedian, man~ I used to do a...spots for food. You know, doing a stand-up comedy. So, when you go tough, you are talking about a guy who used to perform live shows in a bowling alley.. I remember one time, I was on the show. Right? It is only fifteen people there. But every time I want to go tell my punchline, somebody threw a strike. - It's a live bowling alley. - They are bowling while you telling jokes? They are bowling, listen. I am in the middle lane...is... People bowling down here, people bowlinig down here. and I'm like "Men~listen~I don't know about you all". "Bang!". "Men~listen~I don't know about you all." I never told one joke. I just kept starting over and over again. Now, you have to live for a while,. You could...didn't even really have a place, did you? No, no, no, no. I...uh...I don't like to say "not a place to live." Yes, you know, you are right. I didn't. But my mom, my mom kind of... My mom was like a support system. You know, uh...when I need an apartment. And I went and got one one my own. I couldn't afford the rent because I was trying to do comedy. So my mom... She is very religious. She said, "Look, Kevin. I am gonna put you on my back. I got you for a year. You can go out do what you wanna do. I'mma support you. After that, you don't find a way to feed yourself, then you got to go back to school. You got to do something productive." I said, "Mom. OK. Give me a year doing this comedy." So, my mom was very over-religious. She was always always telling me to pray, read my Bible. Um...I need rent money. It's come time for rent money. I am like "Mom, you didn't give me rent this month." She's like "Did you read the Bible?" I'm like "Mom, I don't have time to talk about the Bible stuff right now. I need the money. This is for real. They are gonna kick me out." She's like "Read your Bible, then talk to me." "Mom! OK, goodbye. I hang up with my mom. I ain't gonna do this. Another month go by, I am getting eviction notice. "Mom, stop playing. like you don't give me this money, I am gonna be homeless." "Did you read your Bible?" "Mom! I don't want to read the Bible right now. I am not going to have a place to read it in a minute if you don't give me the money." She was like, "Look, I'm not going to do this with you Kevin. Read your Bible, talk to me." It gets closed to the third month. I'm like, "Oh my God, they are really threatened to kick me out." I finally opened my Bible. When I opened it up, my mom put all of the checks for the rest of the year in the Bible. So I opened it, and all my rent checks fall out. I am just sat there with the dumbest look at my face... call my mom...said "Mom, I see what you did. You put it in the Bible." She said, "Did you read it?". "No, but I got the checks."
