1:47
another one
1:49
they don't even have to say [ __ ] and you
1:51
start laughing like
1:56
i learned that a long time ago when i
1:57
was about eight years old and then i
1:59
didn't realize it was because i looked
2:00
funny and i was short
2:02
but i thought i was just funny
2:06
now that i'm older than that i realize
2:08
oh it's cause i look funny looking like
2:10
[ __ ]
2:10
just laugh at me presentation matters
2:14
though
2:15
yeah it worked in my favor like i didn't
2:17
realize it worked in my face like i
2:19
my family i know we got a line full of
2:22
slow people
2:23
so i'm the only one made a living off my
2:26
slopes
2:28
like i'm from the bahamas so we we kind
2:30
of off a little bit
2:31
and i'm from florida so you know we off
2:33
but i'm the only one made a good living
2:35
out my family off of it so i'm breaking
2:37
the cycle
2:37
come on man there you go man you're
2:39
breaking the cycle crazy
2:41
wow does that mean duval are you like a
2:44
lot of people are borrowing money from
2:45
you
2:46
are you like santa claus during the
2:48
holidays
2:49
you know what the blessing about my my
2:51
immediate family
2:52
none of them asked me for money they
2:54
don't trip off i never had that problem
2:56
my immediate family as far as
2:58
asking for money and that's my motto if
3:01
you asked for more than my mama action
3:02
you asked me too much
3:04
and she don't ask for that like her
3:05
birthday was just may 1st and she just
3:07
wanted me to buy her glasses
3:08
and that's all
3:13
like drinking glasses or wearing no no
3:16
no her wearing glasses
3:18
she old now so she ain't drinking no
3:19
more at least not that i know of but
3:21
then again she might
3:23
be she might have been you know shot
3:26
glasses you just don't know
3:29
yeah stay woke up you you touch on a
3:33
a lot of fun topics on your comedy
3:36
special citizens i want all you guys to
3:38
watch it this is a it's something great
3:40
to watch and one of the things
3:41
um you mentioned is you talk about
3:43
laughing manners and sometimes you just
3:45
gotta look at life and just don't sweat
3:47
nothing and just laugh things out man
3:50
that's one of your philosophies right
3:52
yeah that was my philosophy and honestly
3:55
2020 was a test to see if i was really
3:57
about that life i'm talking about
3:58
and they proved to me that i really was
4:01
you know it's easy to say
4:02
all right be happy don't let nothing
4:04
trip off of you but then when you deal
4:06
with real life stuff
4:07
it gets you that test and i feel like i
4:09
passed that test because
4:11
i i i was happy last year you know what
4:13
i'm saying as far as with my personal
4:15
i couldn't complain about nothing you
4:17
know because i had everything
4:18
already set up already prepared for
4:20
worst case scenario so worst case
4:22
scenario came
4:23
i wasn't tripping you know so that was
4:26
good
4:27
what are some of those things duval that
4:28
you had set up what do you mean
4:31
like as far as like with technology with
4:34
as far as like knowing how to make money
4:35
online and stuff like that already and
4:37
then
4:38
as far as like my comedy was already the
4:40
good thing my comments was already
4:42
established like most stand-up comedians
4:45
that's young i kind of feel bad for them
4:46
because now they're in the world that's
4:47
going on that
4:48
yeah we don't know where it's going next
4:50
but i'm already kind of established
4:52
i ain't have no bills i ain't got not
4:54
one mortgage
4:56
no bills nothing so so when the money
4:59
stopped
5:00
i didn't trip i didn't have to do
5:02
nothing drastic you said i'm saying i
5:03
just was just chilling
5:05
you know what i'm saying and last year
5:06
was the longest i've ever been off
5:08
i've been doing comedy for 22 years and
5:11
last year was the longest i've ever been
5:12
on stage
5:13
ever in my career and that's like four
5:14
months four five months so
5:17
so it was different for me but the same
5:19
that was the only thing that was
5:20
different but
5:20
outside of that everything was normal
5:22
because i normally moved how i moved
5:25
before even um the corona because i [ __ ]
5:28
i wore masks before the corona just
5:29
because i want people to see me when i
5:31
go out and about sometimes
5:32
you know what
5:33
[Laughter]
5:37
yo that's so funny little duval what's
5:39
up it's heather how you doing so glad
5:41
you understood what's up
5:43
on this on the serious side like i got
5:45
it free of my other car
5:47
and i ain't paying for it because
5:48
whoever had it last they
5:50
they kept it on so until they cut off
5:52
i'll be listening to y'all
5:53
thank you i'm gonna give you a shout out
5:54
i'm gonna give you a shout out
5:56
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
5:57
sirius xr fly channel 47.
6:00
yeah i'll be listening see ya
6:03
no i appreciate it i'm gonna shout you
6:04
out tonight but it's funny because sway
6:06
mentioned like
6:07
guy code and wildin out and yesterday we
6:10
had michael che on the show from
6:11
saturday night live
6:12
um just in terms of korea duvall would
6:14
you ever
6:15
like go to something like that and jump
6:17
to a saturday night live
6:19
audition for it like um because that's a
6:21
different style of comedy and television
6:24
would that be something you're
6:25
interested in i feel like everything is
6:29
when it comes to art and that's kind of
6:30
like what my special is kind of showing
6:32
like i think comedians and entertainers
6:34
now we're all doing everything so yeah
6:37
and that's always been my way of coming
6:39
in the game anyway because
6:40
i feel like i can do more than one way
6:41
to express my art so i do it in any kind
6:44
of way whether it's music social media
6:46
comedies
6:47
movies any type of way so so it's the
6:49
same thing so i mean
6:51
yeah if if it made sense to me and i
6:53
feel like i can kill it yeah i get on
6:55
there but if it ain't make sense
6:57
i ain't doing that i'm gonna
7:04
i think you would be dope on there
7:06
appreciate it
7:07
um michael chase i don't know that
7:09
because the only thing about skid smash
7:11
so
7:11
sensitive with anything not that i care
7:14
that offend people but
7:15
i hate when they so caught up into
7:18
something that they offended by that
7:19
they missed the whole
7:20
joke and the whole love of it you
7:22
understand so
7:23
it makes a little difficult with the
7:25
sketches because people crazy like the
7:27
only place i can get away with saying
7:28
stuff now it's on stage that's why i
7:30
love it
7:31
you guys are actually about that like uh
7:34
that's what michael che said uh you know
7:36
when he was talking about the backlash
7:38
that people get from jokes but he said
7:39
he's not concerned with it though
7:42
he's not concerned with it yet because
7:43
he ain't in a place where [ __ ]
7:44
just waiting for him to say something
7:46
like you gotta think like just just like
7:48
me on social media anytime i tweet
7:50
something
7:51
somebody getting offended you know it
7:53
just comes with it after a while
7:55
once you keep keep everybody getting mad
7:57
every five ten minutes
7:58
you're like damn they just mad at
8:00
everything so he hasn't got hit yet
8:03
he hasn't got hit yet he's like he'll
8:05
see once they come on them when they get
8:07
on you
8:08
like look at tracy morgan he was just in
8:10
a comedy club practicing something
8:12
and somebody just happened to record it
8:14
and tried to railroad his whole
8:15
whole career just off one thing that he
8:18
was probably working out
8:19
so it's a different climate we're in now
8:21
and there's nothing you could do about
8:23
it it just is what it is that's why
8:25
i i do i choose to take my stand up in
8:27
comedy and mesh it together because
8:29
because that's what he's evolving to if
8:31
you look at all the new comedians
8:32
all of them doing stand-up comedy uh
8:35
skits
8:36
music everything all in one and it's
8:38
going back to the rest that days
8:40
you know what i at first swayed duvall
8:42
tracy citizens i didn't understand
8:44
why like dave chappelle and kevin like
8:47
different
8:48
um comics weren't allowing people in
8:50
with their phones even at the smaller
8:52
spots but i still get it now like
8:55
you should have this artistic freedom
8:57
especially as a comic because we only
9:00
come in here
9:01
to laugh like that's all we want to do
9:03
is just laugh and you should be able
9:05
to work out your material like that's
9:07
your gym time you know what i mean like
9:09
watching but i jim our studio is the
9:13
stage you know how y'all going right
9:15
recording like you see our weaknesses so
9:18
it comes with the territory we know we
9:20
signed up for from the get-go the only
9:22
problem is the cameras
9:23
that make it different but i learned
9:25
that because i've been doing social
9:26
media for a while so i
9:27
kind of realized that ain't no stopping
9:29
them from camera that's what infused the
9:31
music
9:31
so i give them something to record that
9:33
ever of my show you see what i'm saying
9:35
so i give them
9:36
so at the end of the thing they record
9:37
most of the music part like you can sing
9:38
a song over and over and over and over
9:41
but the jokes you can't record but they
9:42
don't i don't think they do it purposely
9:44
they just doing it because they want
9:46
they want to say that they they want to
9:47
show like something that's funny they
9:49
don't realize
9:50
yeah but they don't realize you're
9:53
killing the elemental surprise
9:55
yeah we got little duvall here he got a
9:58
great comedy special a stand-up special
10:00
called living my best life on video
10:02
on demand right now chris on the line

10:41

10:42
split i don't [ __ ] them drinks [ __ ]
10:47
[Laughter]
10:51
my first real hit was [ __ ] you was my
10:54
girlfriend where i remixed
10:56
music soul child song i remember that
10:58
bro and i was thinking man cause i used
11:01
to love that music soul child song who
11:04
did this
11:05
but then when you listen to it man to
11:06
think about little duvall man you don't
11:08
even sweat like you you're really kind
11:10
of a singer bro
11:12
you know
11:26
a note but every now and then that [ __ ]
11:28
go left
11:32
all right hey hey chris you're a citizen
11:33
man
11:37
hey let me actually go to the left duval
11:40
if you read duvall like on twitter
11:42
on your social media you you always drop
11:44
in these gems that i i kind of like and
11:46
they're always funny but it always got
11:49
some meaning behind it
11:51
like if she won't catch a cold with you
11:53
she don't love you
11:55
come on man come on man that's funny but
11:58
man
11:58
honestly that got some real like
12:02
that's how i knew my me and my ex wasn't
12:04
wasn't cool no more because she wouldn't
12:05
even catch a cold with me no more i said
12:07
oh this [ __ ] don't like me
12:13
like if you're supposed to catch cover
12:14
with your dude if you ain't catching
12:15
what you do last year
12:17
y'all y'all probably ain't together
12:27
you know what else you said duval that i
12:29
would love to hear you just give us the
12:31
extended version of
12:32
something you were commenting about
12:35
women
12:35
who just have an overuse of filters
12:39
it is to the point now where even if the
12:42
filter stays still
12:43
and we can see your own face moving and
12:45
the filter ain't following you it still
12:47
gets posted it's like what the hell do
12:49
you think that
12:49
we have gone overboard with this remix
12:53
to our face
12:54
i think y'all so used to it y'all don't
12:56
even know how y'all look nomo
12:58
that's what i've been saying you look
12:59
more in your phone than you look in the
13:01
mirror
13:01
right you kind of you're kind of
13:03
manipulating your own mind and the mind
13:05
is powerful like
13:06
i don't think people realize what
13:08
they're doing to their own self through
13:09
social media to talk
13:10
because most of the time you're really
13:12
talking to yourself for the most part
13:14
outside of people like us that we
13:15
entertain but the average person is
13:17
talking to themselves trying to build
13:18
their own
13:18
self-esteem and [ __ ] like that build
13:20
their own ego so
13:22
so when they watching you looking in the
13:23
mirror and you're looking at that filter
13:25
and you don't make it still to your
13:26
favorite filter
13:27
now that's your favorite face now you
13:29
really think you're that cute and you're
13:32
ugly
13:39
i'm just being honest like it's
13:41
everybody ain't cute out here like we
13:43
are
13:44
i don't see how you don't see you ugly
13:46
like it'd be crazy when like a person be
13:48
ugly they look at themselves every
13:49
well they don't that's what it is you
13:51
just made me realize
13:53
they don't know they ugly remote because
13:54
they looking at the field to them
13:57
isn't that a beautiful thing that they
13:59
won't stay woke
14:00
they
14:05
[Applause]
14:10
hey who's someone who dropped a gym on
14:12
you
14:13
that that sticks with you to this day
14:16
older people i hang around real old
14:19
people
14:20
like where i live in the bahamas it's
14:22
nothing but overtime old people so i
14:24
hang around people like that and that's
14:25
where i get all my gems from
14:27
because i look at people like that has
14:29
been around for
14:31
80 years especially people that's been
14:33
successful for 80 years
14:35
and they're still able to be happy you
14:37
can learn a lot from that person so i
14:39
learned from older people and i learned
14:40
they don't lost people they lost kids
14:42
grandkids and they still happy so that's
14:45
what i learned most of my gems from
14:46
older people
14:48
little duval is here man we got chanel
14:50
on the line
14:51
um chanel pittsburgh go ahead chanel
14:55
hey chanel good morning
14:59
[Applause]
15:01
congratulations to ball i've been a fan
15:04
since your early days i want to know
15:07
uh what the utah people who may
15:11
worry about offending the christian or
15:14
religious
15:15
people who never cuss and always get
15:17
infinite oh i ain't listening to the
15:19
hippity hoppers because they got bad
15:21
language what do you say
15:23
to us how do we balance that out and the
15:26
long you drop your neck
15:29
i drop i drop my neck
15:31
[Music]
15:33
okay i have no idea what's happening i
15:36
don't know she testing out her jokes
15:38
okay all right great i didn't get it
15:40
okay
15:41
well what was the question though
15:42
because it was it was a question i could
15:44
ask so i forgot i think she said how you
15:46
feel about
15:46
like do you are you concerned if you
15:49
offend like christians and people that
15:50
don't cuss
15:51
and things like that i mean i'm not
15:54
i don't go out to offend people so
15:56
that's not my intentions but if people
15:58
get offended it kind of says a lot about
16:00
yourself because i don't know you
16:02
most of the time i don't be knowing the
16:03
people that it's offended so

when it comes to stand up though

if y'all laugh so it's
18:34
it's up to y'all to tell me if it's

funny and not cause i can persuade you
18:37
all day and i'm not good at that
18:39
i'm not good at selling something that i
18:41
don't know about so i rather get the
18:43
audience opinion from it
18:44

18:47
get people to feel like damn i wish i
18:48
