all right it says black guy voice it says bill my girlfriend and i have found a
hot button issue
between uh the two of us she hates a black guy voice that i do when i make
jokes he goes i'm not
black and neither is she uh when we started dating i didn't really do it but
when we were playing
monopoly with one of my oldest friends and i started winning once and once i
was winning and
my oldest friend was there the old black guy voice made an appearance i don't
really say racist
things what does that mean i don't really say racist thing or he's saying like
i don't really
say racist thing i can't tell because you're writing this stuff so he goes i
would just say
stuff like oh yeah give me that dollar or this is some serious cheddar right
here i'm not going to
try to even do a fucking black guy voice here oh hacky one uh he goes i also
show showered my dog
in five hundred dollar bills and rubbed it all over his body like i was uh at a
like it was a
party my friend found it hilarious my girlfriend said i was mocking her i love
that she's making it
about her i thought that she was going like listen what you're doing is funny
if you're doing it like
if your heart's in the right place but she's she this is all about her she goes
he goes personally i
think she's i think being an asshole is an expected part of the game i guess
the game of monopoly but
that's just me he goes now that we've moved in together i continue to do the
voice in a playful
way uh if she asks for a favor i might reply sure dog i got you see i think
that's fucking funny
um he goes and then she glares at me and tells me she hates that voice she
doesn't understand
this is when it gets weird though he goes that i'm making fun of people who
talk like that and
i'm not trying to make fun of her this is where it goes off the rails for me uh
and i don't know but i don't know how you're making fun of him he's just being
ridiculous
like the way i'll do like a southern voice like me god damn it get your fucking
ass in here ask for a
sandwich right and is that what is the rule because i'm making fun of redneck
white people and i'm white
i'm allowed to do that um it all depends on it real all of this shit it all
depends on how you're
doing it like what your point is um anyway so he goes i don't i don't really
know what he goes i don't
really know what she thinks i'm i'm doing honestly i don't see what is so
offensive about the voice
then he writes nah i mean i like saying ah shit and motherfucker i like
referring to our middle-aged
white neighbor as that ghetto ass n-word i think it's funny now i gotta be
honest
even that is funny if you're just fucking around a white guy calling some
middle-aged white dude
especially if he looks like flanders i don't know and i know you're not
supposed to say that but
you're in your house you're fucking around it's your world it's your tv station
and i really think
if you if you're if you're not doing any of this maliciously like that that's
funny i think it's funny
anyways but i don't know where you're coming from with this sir anyways he goes
my question is do you
think i should stop doing the voice or do i have the right to continue doing it
you obviously have
a right to continue doing it um he goes i don't consider it racist and it's
really just for laughs
as a comedian i think you can appreciate that is my girlfriend being too touchy
about it and even
if she is being too touchy do i really have a say in it is this the end of the
black guy voice as we
know it i don't even know what that means sometimes i insist on her adding the
word dj before my name
when she speaks to me see dude i think you're just being silly but i just do
that because i know it
pisses her off and it's funny i'm not really an asshole bill i uh if you think
i should stop i actually
will it's time for a third party way on this well the fact that you say if i
actually said stop you
will i think you're i it all depends on how you mean this but i this actually
relates to stand-up comedy right now where uh you know there's a lot of this
people go out and they
see your act they see a bunch of comedians or they listen to you tell a bunch
of jokes and then they
pick out one joke and they define you they define you by that joke by how they
heard the joke and they
define your entire career by that performance you know what i mean i mean i i
had some blogger go off
on me um about a show i did recently and it's like i just taped i just taped an
hour and a half special i
just burned an hour and a half of material i wasn't ready to go back out on the
road i had that fucking
goddamn mississippi river go through the lower part of my fucking house and i
have to make money
or else i'm gonna go under right basically you know i'm gonna get myself in a
ridiculous amount of
fucking debt so i went out before i was ready to go out and i am i need
material and i you know one of
these shows that somebody complained about was it was a city that i went to a
year ago and i'm not going
out there repeating material i'm not fucking people over so i went out there
and i did my thing
and you know my act where my act is right now i don't like where my act is
right now
at all no comic does two months after they take a special nobody is happy where
they're fucking actors
if you're really you know being honest with yourself so this person saw me and
you know didn't like what
i was talking about and absolutely you know i mean i just skimmed them somebody
sent me a link i just
skimmed it i didn't really fucking read it but it was just like you know i
wouldn't argue with a lot
of your perception of it but to define me as a stand-up comic on one fucking
show
you know when i'm trying to try it's like doing stand-up comedy it's not like
playing guitar i can't
sit in my bedroom and get better at it when it's ready to be heard go out and
go play i have to
fucking go out there and just it's like fucking cooking pasta remember the old
days you took a
noodle out you threw it at the wall and if it stuck it was done if it wasn't
you kept going that's what
you're doing so this person fucking didn't like what i was talking about
absolutely trashed me and then
like lied like completely either lied it was so wrapped up in how much they
didn't like what i was
talking about that they didn't see what happened i mean the show i did i got a
partial standing ovation
and they called me back out and this person left all of that out left all of
that shit out
it was just like he was a monster he was saying you know it's just one of those
things where if you're
joking if you're fucking joking then like i don't think the other person you
know they can take it
however they want to take it but just because they decide to take it seriously
doesn't mean that you
now meant it and um that's sort of like a uh that's kind of something that's
going on so what i would
say as far as what you're doing is you know if you're not a racist guy if you
don't have issues
and you're just doing it because it's a funny character and i get doing a
character that drives
your wife up the wall i actually the character you do i will say i mean i don't
drop the n-word but i
will say that i will do that type of slang but what i do it is i i do it in my
voice and i say it really
seriously because it it sounds absolutely grating to my wife and it either
really makes her laugh or
annoys the shit out of her so um i don't know i think that's part of being with
somebody's you have
to have something that you do that they find annoying and you find hilarious so
um
you know i don't know it all it all depends i i think it's funny that uh
actually i can't even
get give her shit that she she's making it about herself that actually is kind
of one for your side
that the way you're doing it isn't in a racist way but she just doesn't like it
i don't know dude the
last thing you want to do is take any sort of advice from me when it comes to
fucking women because
the way that i grew up was basically if somebody didn't like something you did
it even more um
it was that sort of sadistic mean level of teasing and uh for the longest time
in my
adult life i didn't know where the line was um i used to have this
this running joke where when i was living with robert kelly way back in the day
he had a similar sadistic upbringing that was even worse than mine and he was
the only guy that i met that i can really think of that was further down that
road that i was
and basically when people would sit around like when we were even at the cellar
when the trashing would start a lot of times we would pick up
where the game ended would be our startup now maybe not at the cellar because
it got pretty
mean but generally speaking we would like where we started was the area that
most people didn't even
delve in in that game and that became like the running joke for a while where
people would tease
the two of us at how we played that game where someone would make fun of our
shirt and then we'd be
like yeah at least my mom isn't dead like we would take it and we wouldn't go
that far but it was
they would make fun so i actually had to learn to dial it back um when it comes
to stuff like that
so uh like i said i wouldn't listen to me because i am fucking damaged goods
