You know what it is, bro? I'm gonna tell you what happened. That mom me right there is a combination of several different things happening. For one, they do not put, like, me on tv, not live television. Like, I've been joking. The only time a like me getting on live television is by accident. Like, when you. When he doing an interview on the news. Like, you remember a couple years ago when. When the one guy found his neighbor was hiding white girls in his basement?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

And he was like, dad giveaway. Yeah, that's me. That's how a like me end up on T. It's never on purpose. And the producers are like, yo, Reg, we believe in you. We fuck with your art, you know?

[Rashad McCant]

Like, yeah, bro, I was on it.

[Deontay]

Hey, you know what's so funny about that is, like, whenever there's competitions and somebody win, they always got to keep it humble because you don't want to do too much in front of that. Just lost.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

And Rez was like that. Hey, man, you. You.

[Rashad McCant]

[Rashad McCant]

It's. For one, it's amazing because in all honesty, like, I thought I was nervous, but I've been super prepared for it. Like, the shows are going good. My new album, my new jokes are going great. If anything, I just feel like. I truly feel like I graduated. Like, I leveled up for real. And, like, it's official tissue, a level up. It's not, like, the type of thing somebody could take away from me or make it seem like it's a fluke. Like, I've been him. And if anything, I just feel very vindicated because, bro, sometimes I really be sitting back and just be thinking about how much I believed in myself and how hard I had to, like, keep going and sacrifice. I made. And sometimes, like, nigga, I could have. I. Like, so many different times I could have quit, and somebody would have been like, I understand why a lot of people. A lot of times.

And then you started preaching that around me. You'd be like, yo, being your purpose, you're like. Like, certain things that I was like. I don't know if I would. If I even knew it, but I definitely knew I need to hear it. And you was the one that was always talking that around me when we got. When we first got around each other. And, like, that really started coming together for me for referral.

[Deontay]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Being your purpose. He was like, I'm in my purpose, regardless. Like, that's what it was. Watching you claim it, watching you tell me in my face like, yo, this is my purpose. And I knew I was already doing my shit, but I don't think I was really saying it like, this is my purpose, man.

[Deontay]

When you got. Bruh, when you claim it, bruh, it's like, it's yours, bruh. Once it went, man, I think the thing is, it's like you are just. You are, like, right back at a new beginning. And so, like, that be the most beautiful shit. Every time, like, I feel like I have a new accomplishment or I go up a new level, I'm like, wow, I'm right back in the beginning. Now I just get a chance to do it all over again. Right? You know what I mean? Like, most people worry about falling off, but, like, for me, it's like, man, how am I going to continue to, like, level this shit up?

How so how is it? You know, I mean, I don't know if you under NDA or anything, but like, what's it like being on like a set like Funny af, where it's like some. It's not really person less necessarily like reality tv, but it is a little bit. There's a reality, bro.

[Rashad McCant]

It's a pressure cooking, bro. Like, this is the thing. Me, Usam and Caitlyn, we, the three of us known each other 10 plus years. So I know that they're good comedians and they know I'm good comedian and. And then like, you get too much in your head about what the, what the judges might like compared to what you like. I was just happy to get to the state, to the point the, to the portion where it was like, Voting, like, as I knew it was like, I was like, as long as the people. Like, if you put it in the people's decisions, I'll be fine.

[Deontay]

Like, some of my jokes, they'll edit my joke at a punchline. They'll not really give you the whole context. And I'm like, damn. Like, boo. I knew when I get to the live taping, they can't really edit my.

[Deontay]

[Rashad McCant]

Because you can still do dirt in Atlanta and get away with it.

[Deontay]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Just lying.

[Rashad McCant]

[Deontay]

I lied. I made up a crazy lie. She didn't believe me either. But when the nigga came home from the vet, I never seen the nigga, so, like, he was sedated, and I never seen this Nigga with no energy.

[Rashad McCant]

You felt bad.

[Deontay]

I got sad. I confessed.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

You confessed to it?

[Deontay]

Yeah, I told my mom. I was like, oh, he bit me. She was like, I already knew. You hit him with the bat. I know it. Yeah, hit him with the bat. He said, nigga, they said his jaw was fractured. That don't happen from whatever that fucking story you told me.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

The kibble was too tough.

[Deontay]

Only.

[Rashad McCant]

Cause I be. You be talking. You be telling jokes about how bad your kids lie. Now they hear you. I'm like, yeah, get it from you.

[Deontay]

I told my mama a horrible lie. I told her a cinder block fell off the. I taught her a cinder block, fell off the shed and landed on him. I'm 12, man. The fastest thing I can think of. Cause like, listen, bro, the plan of execution, once you execute you, like, oh,

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

yeah, I did it.

[Deontay]

I gotta cover up this crime.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay]

Cause this is real. This nigga. You know, you're not dog too loud. Hit the out.

[Rashad McCant]

Killed the dog.

[Deontay]

Ran he beeline right in the house.

[Rashad McCant]

He felt bad the second he did.

[Deontay]

I'm gonna get caught. Let me make up some real quick. My mama taught me. She said, before I take this dog to the vet, tell me the fucking truth. I was like, I'm telling you, that's what happened. I don't know what happened.

[Rashad McCant]

That's so funny.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Then the block fell off the thing and hit the dog.

[Deontay]

Cause my dad is cheap, nigga. You know what I'm saying? Instead of, like, fixing the shingles on the shed, he just put the tarp over it with the cinder blocks.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh.

[Deontay]

So I actually got. Climbed up there and tossed one down. And then. Yeah, I thought I had a good alibi, Nigga thought he was about to

[Rashad McCant]

assaulted the dog in private. Like, that's gonna be between me and him.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Nah, nah, nah. It was like a tit for tat. Like, you bit me. I fucked up.

[Rashad McCant]

All right? Now that between us.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Now you over here running, telling people.

[Deontay]

Remember this grown man business.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, exactly.

[Deontay]

You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

This playing a murder weapon. Yo, you a sick illness.

[Deontay]

I told y'. All. I told my wife that. And she was like, you know this type of psychopath. Yeah, I was like, yeah. I was like, hey, man, I like, they do it for fun. I did that out of. For justice. Have you.

[Rashad McCant]

Have.

[Deontay]

Have. You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Because he bit the Shell vengeance. Yeah.

[Deontay]

But the nigga bit the shit out of my like my nigga my shit. Like he took a nice chunk out my leg. Like not pulled the whole chunk out, but like where there's a teeth mark full of blood on my guy, I'm like, what the fuck? What type of shit was. And then you know dogs, when they bite you, they don't just bite and let go. They like. He tried to get me a bite.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay]

I wanted to kill that dog.

[Rashad McCant]

Let me ask you. Can I ask you something?

[Deontay]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

What's good with everything that's been happening for you? Where have you been in the world that you were surprised that this took you?

[Deontay]

You. I don't know if. I don't know if there's been anywhere that I've traveled where it was like. It was strange being in Minnesota.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Yeah. Just cuz it's like what y' all with me up here and that was packed.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

You know what I mean? Like, I think more than anything it's just the people that. With me.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Like, you know, between like, like, like texting Kyrie Irving and shit like that, I was like the. Is this about. You know what I'm saying?

[Rashad McCant]

And I'm. Yeah, that's one thing. The people who fuck with me, I'm very happy about the people who fuck with me. Like they're all blue collar, good hard working people who like want to get somewhere.

[Deontay]

And like that's how it starts. This is how it starts. Yeah. The blue collar. Yeah. I came up. I still show love to the blue car. That's why I go Carhartt. Just let them know I ain't forget where I came from. But it just, it's just, it's just cool to see like who your peer group becomes.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Yeah. It's like, oh, all right. Because it's like you, you, you can fan out.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Or you can also just accept that these view you as an equal and that's a different. That's some different shit.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Moving like it.

[Deontay]

Yeah. For sure. You got to. But I think more than anything too, it's just like I've never been on a plane this much in my life.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

So that part of it is really cool. But I think more than anything, it's just like the, the play the cities that we go to and how the people show up, that'd be the biggest thing. It's like, you know, it's cool to have viral video, but when you can sell out venues and you put ass in seats and they happy to shit to see you. Yeah. It's no better feeling than that.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Like that moment, I remember the first couple times I see you on stage when that moment when you first walk on stage and they see you, it's like, they're like, there he goes.

[Deontay]

Nothing better than that, bro. It's nothing better than that. It's nothing better than when they all say, we back. Like, that shit be. Yeah, that be my moment, boy.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah. So I really feel like I just started living, bro.

[Deontay]

Yeah, that.

[Rashad McCant]

And, like, that's why, like, when you saw me, you had that smile. I'm like, yeah, like, my, like, seeing y', all, like, my know, like, yeah, this register been having a good old time.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, man.

[Deontay]

Oh, man, I'm so happy for you, bro. It's like, you very deserving of it.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Very proud of you, man.

[Deontay]

And more than anything, it's like, how you handling it. It's like. It's admirable, too. It's like, you ain't. You ain't. You ain't doing too much.

[Rashad McCant]

Nah.

[Deontay]

Taking it in, bro. As you should.

[Rashad McCant]

There have been a couple times where I wanted to let my nuts hang on a couple individuals, and I was like, bingo, though.

[Deontay]

As you should, though.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Yeah, for sure. I don't know. Don't take advice from me.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Cause I was like, bro, like, in the back of my mind, I was like, man, it probably shows that you learn nothing if you do that. And I was like, what was I

[Deontay]

supposed to learn now? You know that whole adage about, like, you know, be careful how you treat people when you come up, because you might see them when you on the way down. So I would say, I think that's a good mantra to live by. Yeah. But as far as people, that's personal to me in my life. That's from the past. Yo, eat a dick. See this?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, it's been lit. So I had a. I never told y' all about this, but I had a baby out in Baltimore.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh.

[Rashad McCant]

And I finally. And, like, just randomly. No, no. I'm like, we had. We randomly kind of. But, like, I got a daughter, and, like, she. She dope as hell, but, like, her mom was beefing me for, like, a year.

[Deontay]

How old is she?

[Rashad McCant]

Two now.

[Deontay]

Okay.

[Rashad McCant]

And so, like, this.

[Deontay]

Oh, man. Perfect time to come up.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

So this last. This last weekend, I got to spend a whole a day with her.

[Deontay]

And that's beautiful.

[Rashad McCant]

First time seeing her, it was dope. And I remember the first time I saw my baby mother, I was like, you ain't seen me get famous. You still got me blocked. She was like, I heard,

[Deontay]

I heard.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

It's crazy.

[Deontay]

I heard I'd be holding my daughter like this, man. Like, hey, man, your daddy that man.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, that's what I said. I said. Yeah. Just so you know, I'm lit.

[Deontay]

Yeah. If you ever need anything.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay]

She over here causing too much. Workers call me.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah. So that. So my new thing. So the thing, the. The thing I was. The thing that I always had going on was I always send gifts. I would always say Amazon gifts on my kid. But then I was getting frustrated that her miles was just not replying to me or nothing. So then I just started. But the second the money came, I just started sending big ass gifts.

[Deontay]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Ma could run out of space. I kept sending trucks.

[Deontay]

Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

All sorts of trampolines.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Because, like, a trampoline in Baltimore is insanity.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

You trying to make a statement. Yeah, yeah. He was like, you better respond to me.

[Rashad McCant]

But then also it was like, you know, like, all my friends are stand up. Ucp. Like all my. All my dogs who are fathers and stand up. And like, I was never not gonna be one.

[Deontay]

Right.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

So it was just like, Charlie kid, too. So it was this. Right. Let's talk. Let's get a little bit into it. But you understanding in a relationship.

[Rashad McCant]

Nah, I was running around.

[Deontay]

Yeah, he's doing your thing. But we.

[Rashad McCant]

[Rashad McCant]

Right? Show you this dick ain't no joke.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay]

You thought this dick was a joke. Voila. Voila. Well, man, you know what I'm saying? It's good, bro. It's good. Even with the success, it's like, yeah, you're right. She said 2 years old is the

[Rashad McCant]

best time to be coming up.

[Deontay]

Oh, word? Yeah, brother. Brother, Absolutely. My son was 12 when I came up. He was like, about time, bro. God damn, bro. About time, bro. God damn, bro.

[Rashad McCant]

It might have been you that gave me. Someone gave me this piece of advice, but they said as long as you make. If you base every. If you base every decision you make based on your kids, you make the right decisions.

[Deontay]

I ain't told you that. I know I ain't tell you that.

[Rashad McCant]

He's like. Cause I did some not.

[Deontay]

I do some based on my own own up justifications. Yeah. Nah, man. You know, I think that, you know, it's cool. It was having a conversation with the kids last night. I was like, try to at least go down the day before I leave ot. We just kick it. You know what I'm saying? But it was cool as fuck. Because it's cool when kids, like, you can see, like, how wise and understanding they are becoming. And so they was like, hey, man, you know we gonna miss you, but this how you keep the lights on. Oh, like, are y' all mocking me right now? Like, I mean, that's how I feel, like y' all mocking me a little bit. They was like, nah, man, we get it, though.

So now it's like, you know, it'd be if, for the most part, it's regular. And for the most part, it's like when you get to a site, you get to a certain point where, like. Like, being able to provide a good experience for someone else, whether it be your kids, your friends, your old lady, just being able to do something for them that's gonna make them happy, that's the more rewarding thing, you know what I'm saying? Even, like, down to, like, some of the most fat. My favorite about how I'm living is the. That really don't have no effect on me either way. It's just like seeing other people, like, seeing how you winning and that shit made me happy as hell. Because, you know, even like, with a situation where it's like, young dude reach out, tell me like, yeah, man, I went and got my automotive mechanic certificate and I got a job now. That's cause of you. Cause you said, go get a trade. So it's like, you know those type of moments that's bigger than anything else. Like the financial shit or, like the material shit. It's like, man, once you gather enough stuff, then it all just becomes stuff.

[Rashad McCant]

But I feel like you got five.

[Deontay]

out there in the ski mad ass.

[Rashad McCant]

If we set it up, be like, yo, I'm gonna bring out a friend real quick.

[Deontay]

And then like, you know, I get a standing note. As soon as I walk out, I can see that popping. I'm gonna come out of the bank real fresh. Yeah.

[Rashad McCant]

Cause every time I, every time I mention that joke, I do on stage right now, I'm on this tour with this podcast called the Grizzly Ass Podcast. It's at least a couple people in

[Deontay]

there, they're like, woo, that's lit. I love that. Yeah, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe later on down the line, man, you know, we try some things, we, we write a few things, we direct a few things, we adding a few things and maybe we just go do some spots.

[Deontay]

Go up there and bomb real quick. You ain't got bomb? Nah, I ain't gonna bomb. Not in five. Nah, I got, I got a nice little five. I, I, I did this, I did an open mic before.

[Rashad McCant]

That would be the actual challenge because you get on stage and rock out for like two hours.

[Deontay]

Stories. Bingo.

[Rashad McCant]

To see you, to see you bring it all together.

[Deontay]

That'd be Ali. Alex be like, yo, they saying 45 minutes. I don't know if they ever seen you perform. Yeah, 45 minutes. He'd be like, Man, I got another 30 in me at least.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah. No, yes, me. Alex be joking. I'll be like, I'll be like, two hours is cool, but 90, solid.

[Deontay]

I don't know, man. Stream of consciousness, brother.

[Rashad McCant]

[Rashad McCant]

I thought we had him.

[Deontay]

I told him 10 more minutes, 10 minutes ago. I told him he only needed 10 more minutes ago. And then I'm saying it on the mic n 30, 30 minutes now the

[Rashad McCant]

best part, the best part is when you fall out of your set and you start remembering like life stories that you got that go along with what you're talking about currently.

[Deontay]

Yeah man, that's.

[Rashad McCant]

Those be some of the funny emotions for me. And as a comedian I really be having a good old set at the show and they hear you come. I'm like what?

[Deontay]

He said, oh my God. Yeah. Hey man, I be that should be just feeling like a element, bro. Yeah, yeah, just being like, like poppy your the way you want man. Performing. But performing is different bro. It's like, like cuz I know what, like and then building it out as a set instead of trying to do something different every time because it's not like a, it's not a lecture per se. I don't know how to classify what I do.

[Rashad McCant]

It's not a lecture, it's a set.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah bro, it's not a lecture at all.

[Deontay]

It's just like there's some funny moments but it's some real. Yeah man, hopefully man.

[Rashad McCant]

Do you ever get approached. Speaking of lectures, do you ever get approached by universities?

[Deontay]

We actually are writing a. I'm actually like co writing a paper for North Carolina State right now. Okay. So on like shout out. Dr. Taylor Cummings, I just had lunch

[Rashad McCant]

with her the other day. She was so nice.

[Deontay]

She's so cool. Like coolest person on earth. Yeah. And so smart, bro. And, and, and yeah man, I, I love Taylor man. Taylor's like really good people. But you know about being like a organic intellectual and like how do you find belonging in intellectual spaces? So you know, we're just doing our thing. It's cool man. It's like, it's fun bro. I'm having fun with this shit. You know what I mean? Like this thing is like I would be talking about the same shit and I would be hoping I could do this shit if I wasn't doing it. So I'm just happy to be doing it right?

[Rashad McCant]

So I think that's the thing. I'm like bro, like it really happened for us and whole time I'm like, like that's why I be having. I've had this conversation with myself about my turn dog. I'm like, nigga, it's not like when, it's like now, now, right now, dog. You don't ever have to talk about when, when, when this happens.

[Deontay]

This like you never got to do it again.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

Save your money and tell this, this dude. Tell him to start Big Cat's Corner, man. He playing now.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, bro. Listen, D. D ain't gonna tell you nothing that he ain't.

[Deontay]

No, no, you're right.

[Rashad McCant]

And it feels like, it feels like when Deontay tell you some. It feel like he already seen. He already seen it for you.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, he already.

[Rashad McCant]

He's like, I promise you this gonna go here.

[Deontay]

I'll be trying to tell, bro, if you know how many don't listen to me. And then they see somebody else do exactly what I told them to do, man. Look, bro, I'm telling you, bro, I'm gifted, bro. Yeah, I see this.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah, you was like, I remember that. I was like, yo, because I did the whole hour, he was like, yo, bro, that was cool. But nigga, do that other shit, man. I know you got some other shit, all right.

[Deontay]

Yeah. Cause I mean, at the end of the day, it's like here, you know, the same way you had to work out these jokes that work, man. You know, this is the thing, this is the thing that I like about comedy. And specifically, I don't, I don't listen to a lot of white comedians, but the white comedians that do come across my like, they be funny as shit. But there's comedy is one of those things where it's like, if you a good comedy, you a good comedy.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

But there is some black comedians that just. They've been doing the same for 20 years.

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah.

[Deontay]

And just cuz it work, it's like, damn, bro, you don't wanna.

[Rashad McCant]

You notice anything.

[Deontay]

And also, bro, you've had life experiences. Like you can't write a new joke.

[Rashad McCant]

Exactly.

[Deontay]

You know what I'm saying? But I think I don't like,

[Rashad McCant]

I

[Deontay]

don't like that lazy black comedy where it's like, we're gonna talk about sex, we're gonna talk about being poor.

[Rashad McCant]

Right?

[Deontay]

I show, I talk about being poor and having sex. Like, bro, yeah, I don' about being poor.

[Rashad McCant]

Because I'm like, I figured that that was already established Well, I think it's

[Deontay]

like, like, like it just be that comic view. Like it's called comic view syndrome. Like, you ever had roaches? Like, okay, yeah.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

How many times, how many times we heard about this?

[Rashad McCant]

A million times. You got to always challenge yourself to be original though.

[Deontay]

Yeah, man, you always, I think love hanger fruit is, you know, it take a lot of courage to take a chance. So I think a lot of people go for the low hanging fruit because they know it's just easy. But it's like, you ain't going to change if you play the game on easy.

[Rashad McCant]

And low hanging fruit is not the same as being relatable.

[Deontay]

Bingo. Bingo.

[Rashad McCant]

You can still be original and be original. I mean, be original and be relatable.

[Deontay]

Bingo. How is your. How have things been with your family? Like, how have they been receiving it?

[Rashad McCant]

Yeah. Oh, is.

[Deontay]
