  Speaker 1: when I saw it it featured in the trade magazines.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that the special had already been taped
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: last summer. So talk about the sequence of how that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: happened and then it was announced coming out in the spring. Um.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I got a call from my agent and she said,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the president of a comedy for next Flix one of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: my number soon. He can give it today because Dave

• 1:58
  Speaker 1: produce my special. I said sure. I thought it was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a prank. Uh you know, I said, show And then
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ten minutes later Dave called me and said he wanted
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to produce my special. So that's how it came to fruition. Cool. Now,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: when you look at your career, I can, um, you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: know my career as a personal relationship. They've they've described
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a personal story about you at this comedy club. My
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: personal story. I met you at your comedy club, and uh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: when I would just tell y'all, he wore me out,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: took me out. Let me know, this is Quake's house
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia. Had me go back to my hotel
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: room looking at my little comedy routine. But you're rewriting jokes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But he was just doing when he was doing. Because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I heard about it. I walked in there with my
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: credits because see Dave Chappelle. Man, he said it right. Man,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you are a legendary man and you're funny, but you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: good brother at heart, at heart, you know, because it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: all it's like, um mean the Jerry Rice at Rob Receiver.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: If you Rob Receiver coming in, you look over there,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you see earthquake. You go. You can walk around and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: ignore him, but in a minute, if you ignore him,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he gonna let you know who he will, who he is.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: That's what happened to me at his comedy club. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: knew who he was, but I ignored him until he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got on stage before me, and then I had to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: show the respect. But that's been a testament of your
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: entire career that people who may not know you, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: after they see you, they know you the real deal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Correct Earthquake yes, I mean because I just believed let
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the work speak for itself. There's nothing else. I always
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: felt in our profession that stage is an equalizer. The
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: credits can get you applause in the beginning, but the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: jokes work. You could tell who's on their craft and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: losing our craft. Um deserve to be there, and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: take that, so I always concentrated on the work. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: work speak for himself. Now. One of my tastes and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite jokes man you did
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was the dog doing O. J. Simpson Trial. But it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the ability to take abstract characters bringing like like they're
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: actually real. You know what I'm saying. No, no dog
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Kate talk, No dog Kate talk, but you we believe
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in this dog and talk based on you. What what
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is the sequence of it? Just listen to people, because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I know it's a stand up comedy comic. At one
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: point you just trying to be funny, and then at
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: some point it's just like a college degree. It's like
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: class two plus two equal four. You learned to sequence
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: things together and you're just funny and you know how
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to make things funny. How do you look at the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: world through the eyes of earthquake. Um, it's a it's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: my tag. These ain't jokes. I think it starts from
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: reality or realistic to me, I tell people every time
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: they ask me how you do it, I said, it's like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's just like being in the hood. Man, it's a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's the truth that blomed, that blossom into a big lie. Right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I was fighting this one dude, man, and then by
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the time to get to you ra sean man, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was fighting nineteen and I slam one underneath the dope
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and it was two other came and then Mama came
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: over and I slapped it. Mama. It was fighting one
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: dude in the last for one second, but by the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: time he got back got to you, Sha, it was
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: nineteen dudes. He had its arm for him with with
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that had guns. The other dude had a knife. Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So that's my philosophy. It always start from a grain,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: from the original foundation of the truth. That's why I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: say these aren't jokes. That's where it comes from. These
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ain't jokes, right, you know, as a as a stand
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: up comic man, it is really um an interesting craft.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It's a very lonely craft. A lot of people think that,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a stand up you're happy all the time.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You know you you run abound just making everybody laugh.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But really, can you explain to people the world of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a stand up comedian from a standpoint of how we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have to how we see things, which sometimes it's good
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and bad because sometimes we see too much. Well, I'll
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: tell anybody if you if you don't like yourself, this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: ain't the profession for you, if you know, because you're
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: gonna spend a lot of time with yourself. It's like golf, man,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: can nobody else walk? Is? Uh walk these greens? But
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you um and but it's such rewarding man Sean, It's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a rewarding profession just to see these people because look
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: at people. We're mental health providers. Um we we especially
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for our community. We change perspective of people because you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: when you had your club and they're coming in. Man
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: is I don't know what with the way in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: world and one profession and its only professional I like musical,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: anything else, anything else out here. We need the uninvited attention.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So you gotta get the uninvited attention, then break through
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: all that and then get them to do something they
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: can't get their self to do. That's laugh. That's a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hell of the obstacle, man, especially for our people. They're
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: sitting the front man anybody right, I mean I used
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: when I own my club, I said, listen, please be
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: nice to these people coming in here, because you're making
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the comics John even worse. I mean, please, with the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: way you serve, the way you give the ticket, you
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: make the show. Are you tuck my staff all the time?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You're just as important as the comedians because if you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: set the tone there, then they're open themselves up to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: be entertained. So it's the hardest profession in the world,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: but the most reward fulfilling. We know, like uh, the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: word sold out. I'm talking about audiences. Audiences, you know
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they you know, earthquake, they're coming in and see you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: talk to everybody and tell them that feeling of knowing
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that you look out there because we always peep behind
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the curtain. We always ask the people, how's it looking
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: out there? And they said, and see left all so
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that brother, we've added the show. Talk about that feeling, man, Um,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's the best feeling, second to having your channel. Um,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's validation. People actually took their harder money stop
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: doing what they do and can say I am spending
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this money to come see you there. I mean the gratitude,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I mean achievement and as a comic until comedians all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the time, and I learned this from you and from
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you when Steve, that shows that you actually matters in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: our profession. When you can put your name on a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: market or build ball or sign and people stop and say, hey,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I'm coming to see with Sean McDonald. Give me two
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: tickets you got and then they said no, we don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: have come on, let's go here earlier. Now we got
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they can't get no tickets to see you. And it's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just the most gratifying thing in the world. It is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with Rushan McDonald. Now let's return to Money Making Conversations
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. You know the thing, uh, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: follow your social media and you know we all want numbers,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we always want to engagement everything. But your social media
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is almost like social commentary. That's why I added the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: words social activists in your introduction because you do a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: running commentary. I feel with your social media boy videos
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that you post, pictures that you find talk about your
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: approach to social media and how you are defining your
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: voice or finding your voice in your social post. Well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and uh, some of the most educated people in the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: world don't how can I put this, uh, the prestige
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: diplomas of degrees the back of their education. So I've
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: met some of the smartest people that never went to school.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: There was the most utel people in my life. And um,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: simplicity has always been great for me. Just keep it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: simple and to get to the point that you asked
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: me about. I just talked about when everybody else thinking,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: because all you have to do, you know what I mean,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: don't say that man, you be I'm saying some man,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'll be looking at what you be saying, like, oh,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I never saw that this boy is. And you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the comedy world,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: somebody call you a fool. That's actually a major compliment.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I said, this boy of food, this boy crazy, which
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is another compliment because now we need a PC world.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You know, they got explained stuff. We used the word
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: crazy and food and all that stuff. You gotta explain.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's a positive in the comedy world. And you are
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: doing stuff man, because you know, you look at it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and it's work. A lot of people think that posting
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: or grabbing ideas is is. So he just found that somewhere.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of work. Yeah, there's a lot of research.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Shout out to my team. Um, we go through it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Her name and stars, she's one of the greatest person
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that handles my thing for me. We sit down, she
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: knows my voice of course, no my voice, and together
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we uh we uh. We get together and say this
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is the direction I want to go and we see
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: different things that we do, like this is put this
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: out here? Can you believe that' believe this person is
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: doing this? Se and you know, to get that reaction
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: everybody where and so many people like where did you
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: find that? I love it? Man, I I love it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And it was one of the reasons you know, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I interviewed you all my
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: platform money making conversation Master collapse because a lot of
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: people see talent like you. They see the end results,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they don't see the work. They think that you stopped working.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: They think that you just focused on this, but really
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it's a three sixty that you're doing. Like I said,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you're an actor you're a comedian, your social activit which
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: means that you're an influence on social media. And then
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: also you have a radio show, which means you you're
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: able to communicate tell us about your radio show. You
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: even to take phone calls, you play music. What is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: your radio show? Um No, my show is called Quake House,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of like a comedians view. We too.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: We deal with hot topics, different segments and we do
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: have guests that comes on periodically. Um a list guess
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: is and our interview. And what I want to do,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: like I've always done in my career, is whatever I
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: achieved in my career. I try to have a platform
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to bring the next comedian that or nothing else. But
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: if I can't help the next comedian, expand our genre.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: People know how great this profession is. I think personally speaking,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: don't too many of us give back to the genre.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This is this would allow you to be this movie star,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: this game show host, this this uh talk show, this
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: movie star, this TV start. Just do something that allows
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know your name to um to expand the John
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: for the next person said to yourself, can capitalize on it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: make it, you know, expand I'd say you don't have
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to help me. Help whoever you think is funny, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: if you help them, it expand the genre. Eventually it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: will come back to me because they they you funny,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: wait till until they get to see me. And that
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's always been my attitude. Yes, now that The interesting
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: thing about it is that when we look at the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: comedy special that you did, you know, it's always fund
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: me because I think I know somebody. I didn't know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you from DC, you know, because I met you in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that line. I thought you were Atlanta, born in Bread
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and I thought that was your whole hood was from
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Atlanta or people loved you in Atlanta. So how did
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you make the journey from d C to Atlanta and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: then Atlanta? Basically it became to me, yours your home,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: your voice. Um well, I was in the military for
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: nine years and he wanted to do twenty years, but
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the war broke out. So I told him, I said,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I own mind practicing for war, but I ain't fighting
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: for real. I'm gonna stay and see to get shot at.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So they're getting out the military. I didn't want to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: go back home from d C. I've been a military
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was nothing there opportunity I feel for me, but illegal pharmaceuticals.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So I turned on you know, I watched a lot
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of TV, different educational shows, mostly like seeing and stuff,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, you see the poles. They always got
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: poles and one of the boat what is the best
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: top five city that that man should go for the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: best advantage, and they and they had allotta number one.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I said, well that's where I'm going. So I got
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: out the military, went to Atlanta and we're on stage
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and they started doing common that first of all, you said,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you saw pole said the back black black best sitting
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: for black people to go to with Atlanta. You go
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta, you just go on stage. You didn't just
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: go to another comedy club. You see some comics. So well, no,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I mean I was when I was in the military.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I knew I was. I had to do something else.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And they you said, the USO, you know stuff in there,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and I found you know, they used to call me
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: skating quick well, skating stroke not anything to get out
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of work. You know, I used to be a pol
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: barryman on guard. Anything to get out of work man.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: So I did a little hosting in there in the military.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And you couldn't talk about sex she didn't talk about,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and I mean, you had to be hope. So I was.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I leant from there. So when I got the military,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I went on and I took this girl to a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: comedy clip. And when I tell you, this chick was
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that mean. It was shocked. She was all on the floor.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I said, I said, if you want to sleep with
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this dude, just say you want to sleep with him.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But he ain't all that. You just jealous, I said,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I jealous, But I mean he's funny, but that ain't
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the funniest thing. So she said, when you do better,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And of course I went and tried, and there's nothingness came.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It's been that way every since came in my life. Well,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I wonder what piphany was, no plan, It was just
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: what I tell everybody was that best decision that day,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and another better decision hasn't came this way. We'll be
