Speaker 1: Well that's a good thing. Yeah, two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, by ride two thousand and seven
Speaker 1: when I really put the brakes on it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a full blast all the way up to
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, full blasts at rocking rocket boosters,
Speaker 1: just going committed. Yeah. Man. Then Bishop called you an
Speaker 1: you too, and you know, and he called me and
Speaker 1: asked me, and I told him, I said, man, let
Speaker 1: me think about And then I told him finally about
Speaker 1: the third cast of Bishops. I said, I can't do it. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're asking me that. That's a whole I know,
Speaker 1: because I remember Church people ain't gone Steven deal with me.
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, man, I know you, he said, but
Speaker 1: better than that, God know your heart. He said, you
Speaker 1: good brother man, you could do it. Come on, do
Speaker 1: this all right, man, I'll do it good. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put you down and put you all right good. He

Speaker 1: threw me into. Because let me tell you something, man,
Speaker 1: I had to go right, don't trip. He ain't through
Speaker 1: with me yet. It's a whole special I wrote. I
Speaker 1: had to go write that special, and what jokes I
Speaker 1: was doing on the road, I had to write that special.
Speaker 1: I had to go write that one. I had to
Speaker 1: go put this church stuff together. It was probably the
Speaker 1: easiest hardest set I've ever written because I grew up
Speaker 1: in the church, so I knew a lot of church stuff, right.
Speaker 1: I did not think that the church folks was going
Speaker 1: to accept it because I was gonna have to talk
Speaker 1: about it. I was gonna have to talk about the
Speaker 1: people that they let read announcements, you know, because the
Speaker 1: first thing about reading announcements, reading is fundamental. You can't
Speaker 1: putting the ignorant people shouldn't be reading announcement at the church,
Speaker 1: sick and sho. I just it's just a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff I knew calling the past about every little thing.
Speaker 1: I just I said and then stuff that I knew
Speaker 1: how to choir, saying who in the choir? You know?
Speaker 1: Stuff you can't do no more? Right? Right? I do
Speaker 1: any of them jokes. I'm being troubled. That's so truth, Steve.
Speaker 1: Because my grandmother when she saw that special, she said,
Speaker 1: how he know all this is true? Talking about the church?
Speaker 1: All of that? I knew church. I grew up in it.
Speaker 1: What he was gonna ask me? I was like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like for us comedians, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: know where the bid gonna come from. Do you remember
Speaker 1: the money? Yeah? Do you remember the moment when you
Speaker 1: came up with an intro for Christ? Do you know
Speaker 1: you was at the time and play I was at
Speaker 1: I was at the Grand Lux restaurant. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: there too, because I used to go from the radio
Speaker 1: show to the Grand Lux and sit there all day,
Speaker 1: sometimes three meals there. We played dominos all day though
Speaker 1: all day. That's down too. You know. I had a
Speaker 1: lot going on back then, told and you know, like

Speaker 1: was Jesus. I said, if I could just introduce Jesus,
Speaker 1: that a capital for me. And they said, man, what
Speaker 1: would you say? And that was the bit. If I
Speaker 1: had the pleasure of bringing out Christ, this is just
Speaker 1: how I would do it. It ain't got to be
