Especially I'm sure 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.200 you had to go on tour I test everything out 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.799 and put together that much material? What is it's an hour? Yes, 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.680 an hour in three minutes. How long does it take 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.760 to put together? Like? How many months? Years? An hour's 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.640 worth of NonStop material, about three I would think for 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:19.720 this because three years, because I meant get you some 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.080 ghost ride. Listen, man, listen the whole thing. Though, Like 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.200 I've already on this next one. I've already started working 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.960 almost halfway finished with the material for the next one. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.440 But this, yeah, it takes three because you on this show, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.320 you know what I mean. So your time is your 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.200 time is consumed. It's like I can't hit the road 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.520 all the time. I can hit the road in the 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.320 summer and when a half hiatuses, so you know, you 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:39.880 just try to do the best. But I do need 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.440 ghost ride. As you read about this, and then I 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.200 was talking to I think I was talking to CAV 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.400 one time. To Cav say every two years is good 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.920 for stand up. But then you look at people like 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.000 Chris Rocking seemed like he'd do one every ten. Yeah. Yeah, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.280 he just drops it. He drops it at his leisure. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.320 It's like, uh, it's like I think it's like every 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.480 four or five years with Chris rock But then you 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.440 know he's really he's really technical about his I mean 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.960 I think keV, I mean keV is just keV puts 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.720 out like that. He's a machine and he's got his 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.800 uh you know what I mean. Like my sister. You 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.560 know what I'm saying. My sister will gold me on 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.200 the road if I say something like She'll be like 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.080 remember you said this and everything. And you know keV 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.960 got like a few of those people who understand his 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.520 voice that does that do that for him. You know, 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.240 your sister is your ghost rid It's not my ghostwriter, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.960 She's not. I don't say anything. I ain't even saying 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.080 ghosts right, I'm just saying, like, when you have somebody 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.000 on the road that you you know what I mean, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.120 that can bounce off ideas and stuff like you you 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.480 come up with it. You know, doesn't make you respect 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.120 of the people lass Like I know a lot of 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.320 comics have people that do right with them and write 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.880 jokes for them. Do you think that takes away from 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.720 the craft of it or is it just look whatever 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:55.120 is the end result is um it doesn't Like, No, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.240 I don't think it takes respect. Like you have to 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.880 you can't. You cannot go far without a strong team 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.680 around you. You have to have that. That's something like 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.159 strategic like you all are a team. You feel me 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.480 you need that and you need a strong support system, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.840 because I mean, the world is man. People will people 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.080 will say, you know what I mean, make you second 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.960 guess yourself. So as long as you got like good, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.840 positive people around you who want to see you win, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.000 like you'll be fun. There's so many things that happened 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.920 in real life that I'm like, this would be great 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.360 and someone stand up that you can't like, you don't 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.760 even gotta make things up. You don't gotta watch fiction. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.880 There's so many things that happened in real life that 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.960 would be like the other day, this might be inappropriate. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.599 Well Holgan, no, no, no, it's just something else.

It wasn't a dude. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.920 But come to find out, this girl was like she was, 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.400 you know, I was. I had never met her, but 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.760 found out she was younger than she said she was, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.079 and she sent me this long message. A lied about 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.000 this a lot about that, and the only thing I 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.360 didn't lie about was my feelings for you and all 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:03.440 this boys. I was just like, yo, how old was she? Uh? Yeah, 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.800 I didn't know. She never had her thing, got it? 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.559 I didn't know. It was not like you Tiger was out. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:15.160 Yeah I didn't. I didn't. Yeah, well, now you guys 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.240 stay in touch. I mean no, I don't talk to 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.240 her now I don't. I don't talk to her. But 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.319 the girl she impersonated, we're actually friends. Now what this 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.240 is some crazy? It's crazy. That's one of those I'm 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.679 gonna get me. Yeah, I got I'm gonna get me. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.120 When the real girl I didn't man, and turned out 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.080 she had a boyfriend and all that. But I was like, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.640 all right, that's what's up. But they're real cool man. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:43.760 But that situation was just totally awkward. What made you 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:49.080 lose weight? I just uh, I was depressed, man, I 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.199 was depressed on you know, um, I was depressed for 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:57.319 about It was from he talking to make them sick. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.520 So I'm sorry, I was depressed from like six to 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.480 uh it's pretty much seventeen. But like I said, at 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.480 twelve six you recognized depression. I mean it was because 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.720 I had came back. That's what happened, right, So I 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.079 was skinny. I came up to New York when I 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.280 was six years old. I stayed with my aunts for 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.680 like the whole summer, and you know, they're a little heavier, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.400 and I got fat. And I came back home and 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.520 I was taking a shower and the water used to 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.760 run straight down my back. And then when I was 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.000 taking a shower at that point, it was shooting off 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.240 my back. And then I say, why is everything getting wet? 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.240 And I looked behind me and I got this big 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:40.720 as big ass, Nicki minaj booty, you had a big Yeah. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.080 It just was awful. My mom was crying. I actually 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.320 had an ass that made my mom cry the onion. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.120 She literally cried when she seen it's a I mean, 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.959 it's you know what I'm saying. You still kind of 0:12:53.000 --> 0:13:03.280 have a big butt. John got a big I lost 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.400 a little bit. I lost it. I worked out, but 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:10.079 I do have a little Yeah. Listen, man, this squash 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.760 had the squats. Oh my god, that's what they'd be saying. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.400 And the squatter, the things just just make you expand 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.280 you know what I'm saying, I had listened. I remember 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.600 I was in church and I wanted to church, and 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.400 this one law's weight right. The ladies. She used to 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.280 talk about me all the time. Her name was sister 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.160 what's her name, sister, sister, Sister Claude, you sister Claude. Okay, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.440 So Sister Claude looked at me one day when I 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.319 came back to church. She was like, I remember one 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.360 time you was fat, like like it's a sickness or 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.480 something like you can catch it, like I got the fat. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:42.719 You know what I'm saying. I was like, yeah, I 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.400 remember one time, you remember you that's what they you remembered. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.360 So yeah, dementia, I'll just bitch. I was, yo, man. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.400 So set me talk about this though, because Rob Kardashian 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.360 is so big, and I'm like, well, he's probably depressed. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.960 It's hard to lose weight when you're that big. It's 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.840 not that easy. And he's like, just lose weight. Just 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.440 was weighty. I did. I looked in the mirror when 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.559 I was seventeen, and I actually was just like I 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.839 hate this, I don't like this, like I'm going to 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.320 lose weight. And then somehow four months I lost seventy 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.520 five pounds and four months yeah, I went, yeah, but 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.960 I crack. What do you do? Yeah? Audio and crack, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:27.720 cardio and crack. It was cis you gotta do what 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.520 you gotta do. It's a man takes my drops to 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.600 cut aka crack. That's what that's all you gotta do, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.280 not to lose weight. No, no, no, no no. I 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.920 it was all like I ate nothing but like a 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:43.080 little plate of barbecue and I had and somehow it 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.160 just yeah. My homeboy looked at me. He was like 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.320 the cap in to you using Virginia too. They probably 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.720 thought you had aids, was doing drugs because it's Virginia. No, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.200 I'm from the country down south. Somebody losing weight first 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.920 and you say, yeah, you got the job. What's wrong? 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.800 You got the German? Man? Ain't got no German. It's 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.400 just yeah, but they do. They didn't know who the 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.280 fuck was and uh yeah, So you knew your depression 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.560 stemmed from the way you do. Definitely I knew it 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.400 was like that was it. That's the biggest. That was 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.440 the biggest thing. Man. That's the thing that held back 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.520 the confidence and everything. It was the fact that you know, 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.160 everybody talked about me, like even in my family, like 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.680 I didn't get away from it, like my uncles, even 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.960 sometimes even my parents. Man, they I mean and they 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.960 don't mean to say stuff, but it's just family. And 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.000 you know, when you feel like you can't get away 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.840 from it, you know you can either you can either 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.320 lose it or you could lose your life. You know 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.000 what I'm saying. Some people, I was about to say 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.000 some people, Uh, some people aren't asfortunate as I am, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.320 you know, with the mindset and they don't have that 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.520 you know, that strivee. They just give up. And if 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.040 you give up, like that's that's it, that's your life. Man. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.600 There's anything called the pressure now because I would think that, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.240 I mean, because you have a lot of pressure with 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.000 us in that I mean it's pressure. I mean every 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:04.560 week people taking the show, the writing reviews, submitting ideas 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.040 for sketches that aren't getting picked up Black time because 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.240 every all the writers are submitting said I just read 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.280 a magazine that left up my day. You ever read 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.000 a review and was like, man, I mean, oh, I 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.880 mean I read you read negative reviews like all the time. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.920 I mean, as long as it's not the majority, then 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.880 just don't pay attention to it. I mean, if it's 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.840 the majority, didn't switch some up. But if not, man, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.160 you know, and you know, people have their different points 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.720 of views. I know it's gonna be some people that 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.880 love the special for me, some people that talk about it. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.480 I mean, either way, like it's mixed reviews, as long 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.320 as it's the majority, you work for those people. So 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.960 I know they said, I've read before that SNL it's 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.160 really hard for black writers and the black sketch comics 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.920 to get their sketches picked up in particular. Here's the 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:56.640 But the thing about it is, I mean, uh, SNL 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.320 is pretty much geared towards a certain audience, and you know, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.040 they have a type and a brand of funny and 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.480 we on the show. Now I think it's expanded, but 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.520 just because that's just what the show does. The show evolves. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.160 So I feel like the show has um has evolved 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.119 in the years where it's not as hard as it 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.320 was to get UM certain things on because we have 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.040 people on the staff that can kind of massage those 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.280 ideas and push them along. But um, yeah, man, it's 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.360 hard because it's it's that audience, you know what I mean. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.520 It's not that, it's not the BT. It's been white 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.959 people in the Middlewest. It's not the world Star hip 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.440 hop or it. I mean, like, you know, you ain't 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.800 no twerque. I mean, what us twerque? You know what 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.760 I'm saying, like you have to explain it. Do you 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.720 think that's that's funny? I think that's that's funny. I 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.840 mean I genuinely, I genuinely laugh at things. I mean, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.639 you're not gonna say everything everything's not funny because everything 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.560 is not funny, like you know. But um, I think 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.000 I think the show does a good job and it's actually, 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.760 um you know, what's kept up with pop pop culture 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.480 to this point. Yeah, I feel like it's clever. What 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.480 do y'all think? Do y'all like the show? No? What? 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.639 I like certain moments? Yeah, I was gonna say, the 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.879 show has its moments, but some of it isn't geared 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.359 toward me. So and I can tell that, and the 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.840 stuff that is geared to me, I'll see it on 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:24.240 World Start. I mean funny, it's funny. It's not even 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.399 about like every course when you do the Kanye West Kids, 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.200 Kim Kardashian. Everybody can related that because it's pop culture, 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.399 but just overall, it's just like it's very hit or miss, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.800 and a lot of times it misses what you Yeah, 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:41.919 yeah with me personally, Yeah, you know, but you uh yeah, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.800 I mean yeah, but funny, it's funny, like you said 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.840 it is, I just don't that's true. I mean, you 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.159 just I mean that's the thing, man. You get so 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.400 many different points of view on the show, like as 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.040 far as people's taste in comedy, so you know, you 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.560 kind of get used to seeing, uh to see things, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.880 and you kind of you kind of learn how to 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.520 learn what they're talking about, and then you you kind 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.400 of like, Okay, that's funny. I see why that's funny. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:12.040 It's it's definitely hard to please everybody, man. I mean, 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.800 y'all know that guy I was pay last year y'all 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.560 played not last year, but y'all played some from the 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.880 MTV Awards. I'll bet that I'll bet of that interview, y'all. 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:27.879 But yeah, exactly, I remember that that Kanye and you 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:36.720 tweeted and then yes, you say so much, Charlottagne. Now, 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.280 what's the ultimate goal for for you, J Farrell. I mean, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.199 obviously it would be great for you to have your 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.160 own TV show. You have the special that's coming out 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.440 this weekend on Showtime. So it was in the top 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.320 five definitely right along I mean the I mean, the 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.600 goal is just to I think Hollywood is definitely the goal. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.680 To do movies and uh things of that short which 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.159 I'm doing. But it's I mean, just to make people 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.760 feel better about themselves. Man, That's what I want to 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.440 continue to do in any type of way possible. It's 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.879 nothing better than going to a showing somebody making you 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.680 forget about you know what I mean. A death that 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.159 happened in the family. I just I mean, I just 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.520 lost my cousin two weeks ago. Many. I mean he 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.520 was on he was on a motorcycle and he was 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.120 coming over to Saint Petersburg Bridge and um, you know 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.800 he uh he tried to stop him. By that time, 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.720 it was too late. He had already you know, he 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.800 had already hit Uma. Carney revived him and then he 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.920 just they lost him again. He was seven foot five, man, 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.560 it was seven foot five, and I'm thinking in my head, 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.679 I don't know if you're playing no, no, no, no, no no, 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.920 this is real. This is real seven seven foot five 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.640 and wasn't in the NBA. No, like he had hurt 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.760 his I think he injured his knee or something like that. 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.719 That tall. Yeah, yeah, so I'm thinking in my head, man, 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.199
