[Music] okay well anybody won't come only to get the rest back Johnny yeah I used to be open to nonliving signals I'm from Cleveland Ohio I'm excited about this looking forward to this plus I get some food after I get finished with my set so I'm funny they feed me so that's how this stuff working comedy going all right good to be here in Brooklyn yes I am here been a good move man I'm just happy to be here man I'm actually I'm happy to be doing stand-up comedy because the past couple of months I've been doing a sit-down comedy I miss my backup man you know it's messed up when you get old you know when you get old [ __ ] just start happening to you and you'll have no good reason for it when you're young you always got reasons for you know you know when you young you come limping to the stage like hey John man went up oh man I'll playing basketball today twist it up Mike Ross scored 41 points we lost by one you got a story to tell when you're young when you old ain't no story when you old it just called life like John what happened I was on a plane and I was reaching for something that's the entire story on ain't no punch line ain't nothin else to go along with I'm reaching for something man and the part is it's like white folks black folks we all the same just a little different because the reaction from the people on the plane just amazed me right because I'm on the layover him I'm in Chicago on the layover right so I stood it up and I reached in the seat pocket to grab something back locked up everybody saw white folks was like oh look here I've had back problems before you need to get off this plane right now go to emergency room go to chiropractor time is of the essence black folks was like look here get you some epsom salt [Applause] sit your ass at at ER for about three or four days anybody got no extra money [Applause] just glad to be here man working with Ray Dijon I'm in Brooklyn man McDonald's serving breakfast all day I'm just happy just happy doing a comedy love it man long time ago I was on the show called living single in the Fox Network man and that that right there that was like five of the best years of my life man cuz but this was a long time ago this a long time ago when they had black people on TV cuz i'ma tell you before Empire came back there were no black shows in the 90s we had all kind of stuff Fresh Prince Martin Moishe Parker's Living Color livin single family man we had all kind of stuff but before Empire came back nothing it was only three black actors working for Empire came back shemar Moore LL Cool J and Kerry Washington that was it the rest of black Hollywood we was on the road doing bootleg plays like mama I need the box with the Lord but my arms hurt look I've done some [ __ ] I'm not proud of but I've just got to make a living hell you ain't seen me in a while have you there there you go I got a I got a do what I got to do everybody just hustling well nobody working Kerry Washington got that big show scandal it's a huge shoulder Kadim ear whoa I mean uh Emmy Award winner yeah but you know back in the day on the show she was doing a white guy you know but it was the president so she was she was screwing up not screwing down I got no problem with that you know yeah everybody's just trying to make a living I ain't got no problem my only concern is like any time Hollywood does anything interracial they always take sexy black women pairing with white guys but you don't see the opposite like there take Halle Berry or Kerry Washington pair them but you won't see Angelina Jolie and Morris Chestnut you know or Terrence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow you know sometime you want everything they're just kind of even out you know that's all I'm saying like I want to see Wesley Snipes and Flo from progressive I want to see I just like contrasts that's my point you didn't just just see it's that visual that's it that's why I did that no they always take the sexy black woman man taking Halle Berry Halle Berry Halle Berry used to be black but we lost her she gone yeah yeah she used to be black man she from Cleveland I knew her she was black she used to go Wesley Snipes can't get no blacker than that this year this she met David justice and then she met Eric beignet and beignet I know on the first word shut up anybody talking to you know this she skipped over American white guys he got a guy from France with him huh see we play on Shante I wear a beret I lost hub man but I tell you exactly what we lost miss Halle Berry she did this movie she got Academy Award for this movie called monsters ball in this movie she starred with Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Bob thought it and put some stuff on this girl she ain't been the same since I'm sorry I watched this movie I watched no porno I'm no real sex when I see it and Billy Bob was slinging it that evening just slinging it he's slinging it Halle Berry couldn't even stay in character she was supposed to be a southern black girl make me feel good make me feel good Billy Bob wound up and hit that stuff she turned Puerto Rican I papi I'm like you can't switch nationality mid-stroke stay in character [ __ ] focus I expect a level of professionalism but she go we lost her but that's alright because I worked on living singing I worked before to find this black women in Hollywood yes I did Queen Latifah Jim Cole Kim fields Eric Alexander uh-huh I was never late for work [Applause] anybody got beautiful women waiting on you be on time - and the thing I loved about the girls on this show these are real women you know in Hollywood they always wanted to that was one of the girls to come form one who can slim down be a size 4 size 6 not the girls on this show hell no need something sturdy ass women on this show these the kind of women you can leave outside in the wind storm when you come back to be right where you're left there stay there sway a little bit but they got five muscles and a wide base they're gonna be right where left from true blue and tight like glue I miss him miss him but Heather that was a while ago and [ __ ] I guess I got to get another show I do cuz there's always somebody out there that feels the need to remind me that I haven't been on TV in awhile just walking down the street people hey Jon man what you doing see Steve Harvey he write books and movies he got family few DL got his new show coming to get down man said she was hosting me you know what you're doing like hey I'm doing some stand-up doing some writing and by the way [ __ ] you I know I don't know I'm not on TV I go to bank every we don't need your happy ass coming in with accounting advice then then there are subtle reminders that I haven't been on TV like I'd never forget I'm in Tampa I get offstage I see this girl gorgeous about 23 24 skin tight James body bumping she walk her towards me all sexy licking her lips I'm like okay here we go she say you over ten John from living singing I'm like yeah baby that's me she licks her lips again then she say my mama loved you I'm like what the hell your mama did shake cuz I'm at that age now I don't give a [ __ ] I do you uh-huh you can watch man say watch the video I don't care recently I come to the realization that I will be overton from now on I can't get away from people just don't even bother calling by my real name and I gotta ask like you had a airport somebody shout out over to I can't shut up didn't say oh that was a long time ago that's not my real name you know they talking to you ain't nobody else named Overton you gotta answer man but the thing is sometimes people recognize you at the wrong time like last year left a plate of food out bunch of ants got in the house right so I go to the drugstore get some bug spray now people see me with bug spray get the wrong idea like damn Overton you got roaches right now just some ants like man you need to get another show it's at that point that you realize people are naturally nosy when you go shopping people looking in your basket in car are you doing the same thing but you have a look in somebody's basket and see something so disturbing that you want to say something I'm at a drug store I'm standing behind this guy this guy had KY jelly Trojan condom for breeze duct tape and a get well soon card I switch lanes I switch lanes I said no I saw this on loan or SVU last we got no idea turns out ain't test to find this [ __ ] this ain't none of my business but you need to get some help Skippy that's wrong what you about to do that ain't right it ain't right ain't none of my business but it ain't right that's all [Music] love this job man my name is John hitting I'm originally from Cleveland Ohio feelin love from three of y'all I was just home recently I had to go home man I thought you chill out man it's been a rough summer man July lost my father my dad 89 years old that was my doing my heart man he was 89 but I was blessed to happen as long as I did man so that's the thing I'm gonna take that that's a blessing right there man 89 that was my Duke but towards the end he got that thing dementia right and that kind of messed me up my daddy was a business man he sharpens attack labor representative Luke Ross always had something funny to say that's where I got my sense of humor from sold all kind of policy he was quick man but towards the end he still he'd be trying to crack jokes with you and you had to pay attention cuz you didn't know if it was a joke at the mention you aren't always focused like one time he got in the car like like in May he get in the car cuz he get to chauffeur service right he get in the car he look in the backseat make sure it's just me and him he'd look at me and say you know I killed two people I don't know how to take this but you can't panic you know it's the Mitch here man so you gotta play it again that's alright dad keep your mouth shut we get you a good lawyer be like Oh Jay just shut shut the hell up we'll get you

kid he said shut up snitches get stitches I say steady you steer ahead jump to the end that's my dog loved him he had dementia he might have forgotten a lot of stuff but he'd never forgot that if he

up to the medical soon he's like no yeah y'all go ahead I'll be here when you get back but we finally we finally get him up there right and then the guy and the god I was drawing the blood man it must have been his first day cuz he was nervous as hell and you know when you draw him blood you got to get the needle right in the vein if you missed the vein it hurts and he kept missing the vein and he kept hurting dad he did about three times that third time that fourth time he hit that he hit that stuff my dad just not he said man let me tell you something if I had a gun I'd shoot yo ass right now you never saw fear in your life like in this man's face he's looking at me like is he gonna be alright I'm like yeah he's gonna be fine but you might want to hit the vein on the next try cuz apparently he's killed twice before and he would kill your ass and not even remember this [ __ ] so good luck with the next one spike so that's all [Applause] it's my dad loving the deaf man them the
