He said, "I told you, you tested positive for cocaine on the 19th."
I said, "I didn't hear you. Didn't hear what you said."
"All I heard was 19."

"Better watch your motherfucking mouth."
"You won't be going."
"You can clean the whole garage."
Hmm.

I mean, they did come from a bad environment.
Fellas, never date a woman who don't respect your wife.
I said that wrong. I didn't mean to say that.

"They snatching women in the neighborhood."
I said, "And what are you worried about?"
"Ain't gonna snatch nothing around you."
"You might get forklift off one these streets."
Anyway, she been running down the street where the women been getting snatched.
She's jogging down the street, looking in car, trying to get snatched.
She's looking in the car.
She running through the park. She waving at cars.
'Cause you know how them big girls, they run real slow.
The van that been-- that been snatching the women
rolled past her five fucking times the other night.
I told her, "What does that tell you?"
"They didn't see me."
I said, "How in the fuck did they not see-- They seen you."

A big Cheerio standing there on the corner, and ain't nobody see you.
Anyway, she got snatched. They ended up…
I think they snatched her last Thursday or something like that.
Yeah, they snatched her.
I talked to the detective.
He said, "Mr. Epps, she got in the van."

"You gonna stop hiding me. Shit, I'm ready to be seen."
She be walking up front. "Come on, Mr. Ricky. Hurry up."

Jumping out the ceiling!

'Cause you're not fucking enough.
White people, no, they don't fuck enough.
They only got two kids to a house.
Black people, we fucking. I don't give a fuck.
You can put us in prison. We gonna get the guard pregnant.
"Come here. Put your ass up against the bars."
White people, they be thinking about their money.
"I can't come in you right now, honey."
"I have to get our stocks and bonds up before I bust in you."
Niggas don't give a fuck. We don't give a fuck.
We can be poor on welfare.
"Yeah, let's bring this poor baby in the world."
All the motherfucking women that's feeding their kids Popeyes chicken,

Jeff told me, "It don't look good, Mike."
"It don't look good, Mike. I'm telling you that right now."
But that's good, man.
When you got a real lawyer, know what I mean?

I remember one time I had a girl come from out of town. She came here.
Got her some White Castles and shit.
She jumped off the plane. "I'm hungry."
"Oh, Indianapolis. I love Naptown."
I took it, "I'm hungry Let's get some food."

She said, "What the fuck was in them hamburgers?"
She said, "The doctor said I almost died last night."
She said, "Fuck that shit."
Yeah, that's some real shit.
I know during the pandemic, that was some scary shit.
Everybody was stuck in the house. You go to the fucking grocery store,
everybody looking at each other crazy.
"You ain't got it, do you?"
Walking through the grocery store,
ain't no motherfucking toilet paper, all soap.
I said, "They-- Yeah, they wiping their ass,
but they ain't washing it."
There's some funky booty niggas out here somewhere.
That shit was crazier than a motherfucker.
Dr. Fauci on the fucking TV every day scaring motherfuckers.
"Well, this is the problem."
"I know that in two months we're gonna be okay, all right?"
Niggas like, "Two months?"
People that ain't never been locked down before,
they was going crazy.
It was just good for everybody that been to jail. It was like, "Yeah."
"Gonna get my little noodles out," you know what I mean.
"My crackers, gonna make me a slam. Sit back."
"Chop them little beef jerkies down in there with the cheese and shrimp."
Look at the jail niggas. They know about that.
They know about that little jail tray right there.
Yeah, that shit was crazy. Wasn't nobody having fun but the scammers.
All the PPP loan-thieving motherfuckers,
they was on Instagram and Facebook like this.
Look at these stealing motherfuckers on--
People that had jobs was praying.
"This too shall pass."

If you stealing fucking money, you know what I mean, from thin air?
Fuck it. Take it.
Fuck 'em. Take the money. All the money they ain't took from you. Fuck 'em.
Take the fucking money.
Just don't be buying no shoes and belts and shit with it.
Buy you some land. Buy you some
property and some, yeah…
…with that stolen-ass money.
Buy you some houses 'cause you gonna need it when you get out
'cause you gonna get some time. They're gonna lock your ass up.
You going to jail.
That's fucked up. You gotta get your teeth fixed when you stealing.
Anything you doing wrong,
get your teeth fixed and your health right.
So at least you'd be healthy in there.
Every time you buy a belt,
that tooth you ain't fixed is in the back,
shaking his head saying,
"Look at this motherfucker buying another belt."
"My tooth been back here smelling like shit for two years."
"And you buying another belt, nigga?"
I decided to sell drugs.
I was the worst drug dealer you ever seen in your fucking life.
Yeah, you know.
You gotta be a certain type of motherfucker to sell drugs, you know?
I was just, you know,
I walk up to the car with my hand like this.
Fuckers just hit my hand and ride off.
Okay, that's the first sign. Get a fucking job.
You know.
I remember one time, 'cause I had a gift of gab,
I was talking to this drug dealer.
Motherfucker gave me half a kilo. I was like, "Hey!"
"I'll see you next week."
"Okay, all right, yeah."
I didn't know who to sell it to.
Man, I sat on that man's shit for two months.
He was looking for me.
That's the worst feeling in the world. When you owe a drug dealer? Shit.
Everybody in the hood be telling, "You know Big Tony looking for you, man."
"Yeah, I seen him. Yeah, I know where he's at. I talked to him."
"You ain't talked to him, nigga. He looking for you."
And the other drug dealers be helping him catch you and shit.
You be at Foot Locker buying some shoes.
"Yeah, he up here buying some Jordans right now."
"With your money, Big Tony."
"Hold him there. Stall him, stall him!"
"Stall him!"
That's the worst feeling when you owe a big drug dealer some money.
You sitting there shooting dice, and he walk up. And you like, "Uh."
"Hey, what's up, Big Tony?"
"Uh!"
He like, "What am I gonna say to this nigga right here?"
I remember I was at this place called the Epicurean, know what I mean?
It's an old after-hour joint, right there off Sutherland,
back in the day, in the '90s.
And I used to take my jacket and put the cocaine down in my jacket,
so when the police checked me, they didn't find it.
And I'm at the Epicurean shooting dice.
It ain't nothing but old men in there, old gamblers and shit.
They in there shooting dice. They got signs on the wall.
"No drugs."
"No guns."
That's all that's in there.
Everything on the wall they say, "No, don't have it,"
it's in there already.
I'm shooting the dice.
I threw the dice, and all the dope came out.
All the old men, "Ah!"
One of the old dudes, "Get your ass outta here. What the hell?!"
When I got outside, he said, "How much you want for two of them?"
Yeah.
During the pandemic, I'm telling you, shit,
that motherfucking COVID shut down everything but child support.
That's the only thing kept rolling, that child support kept rolling.
When you pay the child support that I pay, you be mean to your kids.
"Shut the fucking door!"
"Dad, got straight As." "I don't give a fuck!"
That's the only thing that kept rolling was child support
'cause I called down there. I called down there.
Yeah, I told the lady, "Do you see what's going on in the world?"
"You keep sending fucking child support bills here, bitch."
"Do you see the world's ending?"
She said, "We don't have anything to do with that, Mr. Epps."
"You better get rich or die trying."
I told her, "Fuck you. Go get the manager."
"I don't wanna talk to you. You don't own the fucking child support place."
Yeah, shit.
During the pandemic, I was watching The Verzus. That was pretty good.
Yeah, the best one was Bobby Brown and-and Keith Sweat.
I thought Bobby Brown was fittin' to die, but that nigga…
I said, "They better get a paramedic out there
for this fat ass on the side of that motherfucking building."
I love Bobby Brown, though. I love Bobby Brown.
Yeah, yeah, shit.
Keith Sweat came out there with that little Aladdin jacket on.
He got a permanent hunch in his back from fucking aunties in the '80s.
He fucked over 300 aunties in his whole career.
He might've got your auntie. He was at Faces.
Mike Jones and Tandy, all them niggas was at Faces.
There's a lot of young grandmas out here, y'all.

They was about to kill me. I'm telling you.
As soon as they cut the music off, I was like…
They was like, "What?" I was like, "Play that again."
They was like, "You better shut the fuck up back there!"
Bill Cosby's out.
Yeah.
Yeah, see, I wanna be with Bill Cosby.
But I remember he was talking about brothers wearing their pants sagging.
He really, you know, he really wasn't with us.
He was, but he wasn't.
But he went down, you know.
And it was all white women that told on him.
That's what was fucked up, all white girls.
You seen the interviews they did.
Yeah. A bunch of white girls told on him and shit.
I just seen him in Atlanta about, about two weeks ago.
I seen him down there at Macy's.
He was buying some sweaters. He had some tank tops and shit.
He had a mask. He didn't know I seen him, but I know his little moves.
Remember from the TV show.
That's how he was turning around in there.
I told my boy, "That's Bill Cosby."
I was just fucking with him. I walked past quick.
I said, "Where the hoes at?" He was just, "Hey!"
"Where are the hoes?"
Bill Cosby, he was knocking out all white women, though.
It was all white girls.
You seen the white girls on the interview. They told on Bill.
He was knocking out all white girls. Poor white women, he was knocking 'em--
"Oh, Bill!"
He was…
He tried to knock some Black women out,
but they drink every night. Tolerance too high.
He put four pills in a Black girl's drink.
She talkin' about, "What? Something supposed to be wrong with me?"
"You're gonna be dead, bitch,
all the pills I just put in your motherfucking drink."
They locking all the Black men up, you know what I mean?
Fucking Weinstein.
He thought he was gonna get off 'cause he was sick.
Every time he come to court, he couldn't walk. He like this…
They said, "Get on in here. We got a…"
"We got a medical ward in the prison too."
"You going to jail, white boy."
R. Kelly man, damn. What a singing motherfucker, oh man.
Singing-ass nigga right there.
Who was gonna beat R. Kelly in The Verzus?
Nobody.
No, I'll tell you who would've beat him.
A judge.
A judge would have tore his ass up.
Yeah, that's some real shit.
'Cause I'm from Indiana. You know how this town can be, right?
But I'm gonna be honest.
I'm so tired of acting like I don't like white people.
I only do it in front of Black people.
White people, if you heard some of the shit I said about you
when I was around Black people…
And then I go back to my gated community and hug my neighbor Bob and his wife Cindy
and tell him, "I love you, Bob."
I'm a fake-ass nigga, y'all.
Soon as Black people get some money, they don't wanna be around Black people.
"Nuh-uh, get them niggas away from me. I don't deal with no Black people."
"Fuck that shit."
"Niggas are so dinky."
"Them some niggas? Get them niggas away from here."
"I don't deal with no niggas."

Older women know how to ask you for something.
Young women don't know how to ask for no money after they gave you coochie.
Older women know how to ask for that money.
This how an older woman ask for some money.
"I was wondering, since we spent a couple hours together,
seemed like you enjoyed yourself."
"If you have it on your heart to do something nice for me
so I can get my nails and my toes done, a few other things."

This is how young girls ask for money.
"You still gonna do what you said you gonna do, OG?"
"I gotta give you $200 and take an antibiotic?"
"Bitch, don't come back. I don't give a fuck."

He said, "One of the kids said, 'Shit, man,

and we just said,
we just said, fuck it.'"
My dad said,
"Shit, they must've not watched the ending of that motherfucker."
Now, they got fucked up!
Yeah, shit.
My mother, she used to go to them fucking PTA meetings.
Them teachers be lying on you and shit.
You ever see your mother talking to a teacher
and you just looking at your mother like…
"I'm gonna tear your ass up later on."
Yeah.
My mother used to talk about she was gonna kick the teacher's ass.
"I'm gonna let that bitch know. I'm gonna let her have it."
And get up here and be nice. "Okay, bye-bye, excellent."
"Get your ass in the car!" I'm like, "What the fuck did she tell you?"
Yeah.
And see, now that I'm grown, man, I got my life together,
I like admitting shit, you know.
I mean, it ain't quite together.
You know.
But, you know, I ain't doing what I used to do.
You know what I mean?
To be from Indianapolis, you know what I mean,
to come up out of this motherfucker right here?
This is a bad boy right here. You don't know it 'cause you live here.
You don't go nowhere.
I mean, some of y'all do, but this is a bad motherfucker right here.
You know.
No-- no high school, uh, diploma.
You know, three felonies.
Food stamps.
Kaboom cereal.
King Vitamin.
How in the fuck did we make it?
You know what I mean?
'Cause the Black man been through so motherfucking much,
the white, you could just talk about shit,
talk about white people all day, and they'll say, "I understand."
"I really understand. I get it."
"I understand."
But the Black man is a bad motherfucker in America. You hear me? You know?
A bad motherfucker.
To start on zero and still win, you a bad motherfucker.
That's why we need Mayor Hogsett.
Yeah, he like the people, know what I mean?
We need a-- an abolitionist with us.
We need a white Frederick Douglass right here in Indianapolis.
"Come on! Hurry up!"
"Here they come! Get out of here!"
My man André Carson, straight out of the hood.
Got a seat at the-- on the-- at the White House.
That's some good shit right there.
My man Amp Harris, man been throwing parties and
helping the community forever.
My man "Boom Boom" Mancini, good brother right there.
Straight out of the community, straight out of the hood. Mike Jones.
My man Red Slaughter right there.
The Bradley family, you know what I mean?
All my brothers and sisters, the whole east side, Haughville.
'Cause I know y'all seen my new Netflix TV show, you know what I mean?
Based out of Indianapolis.
Monty was like, "Yeah, I see you got you a new show with Tommy Davidson."
I said, "That's Wanda Sykes."
Yeah, 'cause these little young dudes, man. They… Woof!
Ooh.
They need some help. That's what they need.
Yeah.
'Cause these little kids are disrespectful nowadays.
Little motherfuckers.
Like I said, the grandmas is different, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, the fucking grandmas is different, man, shit.
Remember, back in the day, them grandmas in our neighborhood…
You catch eye contact with an old lady, she say, "Go to the store for me."
Oh shit. Now you gotta follow this old-ass lady in the house.
House hot as hell.
"Let me show you. It cost $1.89."
"Come here. I'm gonna show you what it is. Come on up here."
"Reach up there and get that out of there right there."
"It's back there by the orange juice."
"And-- and baby, get you something."
"Get you something."
"I'm gonna get me something. You might not get all your shit."
That's what I do to old ladies around. I take their money.
Yeah, that's some real shit, man.
But I love telling jokes, know what I mean?
I can't see myself doing anything else, you know?
Yeah. These little young dudes around here, they are scary, you know.
I was at a gas station the other day. Some young dudes was sitting in the car.
I know they was talking 'cause they was laughing.
I was like, "What the fuck is fun--"
Soon as I walked back, 'cause I have some braids.
Motherfucker was like, "Tight braid head ass." I was like…
I heard it, but I was like, "Fuck them motherfuckers."
I just went in the gas station.
Man, I walk out, and I hear another motherfucker,
"Big short ass."
I said, "Oh hell no."
I walk up to the car, I look down across,
say, "Little motherfucker! Let me tell…"
And when I look, they had a machine gun in the back seat.
I said, "God bless you, little brother. Y'all have a good day. Take it easy."
Let me get the fuck away from here, shit.
That was a good thing Dave Chappelle did.
But I wouldn't advise a motherfucker that ain't got no money to do it.
Fuck around and say something about the LGBTQTs.
You better have some money.
Say the wrong shit about them, them fuckers be outside.
"Fuck Mike Epps!"
And mean it too.
I tell men all the time, "Hey, man."
"Don't be angry about gay people."
"'Cause if you too angry, it look like you hiding something."
They don't bother me, no.
I see them all time. I'll see 'em at the airport…
"Mike Epps!"
I was like, "Calm down. First of all, calm down."
"Stop making all the goddamn noise
so everybody see us over here."
"I wanna take a picture with you." I said, "I'm taking a picture, man."
I'm looking around. I was like, "Man."
We finna take the picture. Everything cool.
Something told me look down, so I looked.
He taking a picture looking.
I said, "No, nigga. We ain't taking that picture right there."
"With your face looking at me, nigga, we ain't doing that one."
He finna have me on Entertainment Tonight, nigga.
I got married again, you know.
I got a new wife, you know.
Hope I don't fuck this one up, you know.
Yeah, man, being married is a motherfucker, man.
Especially when you're in show business.
'Cause pussy just fall out the sky. Hey, hey!
You gotta step over. "Excuse me, pussy. I'm gone."
"Gonna fuck my life up."
I love being Black, man.
If I died and came back, I still wanna be a nigga. Ain't that something?
Look at the white people. "You sure you wanna do that again?"
You goddamn right.
It's hard being Black, but it's fair, 'cause when you Black in America,
shit, you know you start off on zero, you know what I mean?
You don't never start off on ten, you know.
You need people that started off on ten to help your zero ass.
You know what I mean? So, yeah, it's hard being Black.
Black people been through so motherfucking much that
white people, if you talk about them, they'll just say, "I understand."
"Go ahead. Go right ahead."
"You guys, it's unfair. Go right ahead."
"I understand."
Yeah, shit.
African-American,
shit, 'cause everybody got somewhere to go but us.
If the Mexican get mad, he can go back to Mexico.
If-- if… Yeah.
If the Asian get mad, he can go back to Asia.
If we get mad, we ain't got no motherfucking where to go.
I thought it was Africa until I went. Motherfucker was like,
"You are not one of my real brothers."
I was like, "What?"
"Yes, my brother. You are not one of my brothers."
"You are very lazy."
"You do not take advantage of your education."
I said, "Can you drive this cab a little faster?"
"And get some deodorant immediately…
with your over-educated, underpaid ass."
Everybody think they going to heaven, and they're not.
God knows your crooked Christian ass.
And if anybody ever left here before you and went to heaven,
I don't care if it's your mama, your daddy, brother, sister, cousin…
They went so you could get in.
'Cause you wasn't getting in. You wasn't invited.
It's who you know.
As soon as you get to heaven, man, the pearly gates are standing there
and everybody wanna get in. It's like a club. You can't get in.
Everybody's trying to get in.
The big bodyguards are standing there, and Jesus come out like a promoter.
He let all the bad bitches in.
"Let her in."
"Them two right there. Let that girl in right there."
"Let the two girls."
"Oh, I'll text you."
Yeah.
You wasn't going to heaven.
But all them Black ghetto mothers in heaven,
they've been letting their sons in. They got a side door up there.
Them Black mothers been lettin' them, "Come on, baby, come on. Get in here!"
"You smell like weed. Come on!"
"Put the wings on. Put the wings on."
"Zip it up. Flap, flap!"
"Act like you're a angel."
I love y'all, Indianapolis. God bless y'all.
I'll see you motherfuckers on Netflix.
Naptown!
I need the mayor, Joe Hogsett, to come to the stage.
I'm proud to declare November 20, 2021
as Mike Epps Day
in the city of Indianapolis!
And last but not least.
I need
Congressman André Carson to come to the stage.
You will be etched
in the Congressional Record of the United States Congress forever,
acknowledging your contributions
as a comedian,
producer,
actor, entrepreneur,
and most importantly a Hoosier.
We love you, Mike.
I'm putting you on notice. We need a street named after Mike Epps.
We got Coach Mike Woodson in the house tonight!
Mike Woodson!
My man, Woody, right there, man.
Straight out of Indianapolis, yo.
I-I just, I like,
I just wanna thank you, you know.
And thank all my friends and family.
I love you all, man.
Thank you. Uh--
I'm grateful, man.
I'm grateful-- I'm grateful that I can come back home like this.
Everybody can't come home. You know what I mean?
So to be able to come home,
this means everything to me, y'all, and I really appreciate it.
Does anybody have a Backwood out there that I can…
