00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Block Party. I can't forget the comedy block Party. I've

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: been to them. They're pretty amazing, full of energy. It's

8
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: like a family. It literally feels like a block party,

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: but very fair. You can feel the love in the

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: It's not like your traditional comedy show, and you feel

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: like it's all family.

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: Correct.

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: But tell me what you guys were eating when you

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: were broke.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: To start our famous burnt ballooney sound. I like everything

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: well done.

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: I like that Chris isn't burnt because he's cooking for

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: us today.

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: That's what's great about this. You get to pick what

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: you want. Yes, he likes his burnt around the edges.

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I like my medium, well.

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: Medium, well, so the ingredients are what for the.

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: There's good old American singles. Pick a card and we

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: got some good old fashioned I always wondered why they

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: said balloonee and it's really bologna. It's really bologna. And

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: so we got this. I hope I don't die eating it.

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I feel.

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 3: I never knew what was in it. Here we go chicken,

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: pork and beef added added to what? So that mean

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: this was something else? And then they said, you know what,

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: let's posed to meet in there. This is what we see.

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I have a feel and it's just the remains of

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: whatever animals that were. Nah, you know what, it's funny.

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't eat beef, So I'm taking one for team.

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: I love how you were specific about the wonderbread. Yes,

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't too sure if they still made it. They

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: we found it, Yes, And then and then you asked

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: for dorito and pool aids so you could go ahead

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: and start. I feel like I'm back.

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: It's a metrosexual that we wanted to see a pitcher

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: career and some water and but is it a pound

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 3: of sugar? That was the whole fun then, and so yeah,

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: so I guess I'll get started in some capacity.

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, get started.

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: We didn't have an electric solve when we were broke.

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: That okay, So take me back to what air is

47
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: the sandwiches.

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: We grew up aniga with California, and I once saw

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: a map of LA and it broke down comped in

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Long Beach and how everybody situated. And it made me

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: laugh because it said Inglewood was gang bangers with both parents.

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: That's what it said on the mountain said gang beggers

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: were both there. So we grew up in Englewood, which

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: was segregated by middle class, upper middle class, and then

55
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: we had an area called the Bottoms, which was anything

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: you wanted you could get in the bottoms, from cocaine

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: to firecrackers. And so we all went to school together.

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: We all loved each other and didn't love each other,

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: and that's just how we grew up. So you would

60
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: think somebody who lived in what we would call the

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: avenues where we lived might have been some punks, but no,

62
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: because they had to prove something more to the people

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: who lived in the bottoms, because you'd get tested.

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Right.

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, So is this sandwich air from high school?

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: This is from high school. You come home, you want

67
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: something to eat, right, you want something to eat, and

68
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: your mama ain't gonna necessarily make you something to eat.

69
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: So this comes from that era when you come home

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: and then also after you move out of the house

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: your mamma, you don't you don't have money to necessarily

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: buy something, so you get something like meat with added

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: you have you have a material with added meat. Here

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: we go story to get hot. I'm glad you got butter.

75
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. See that's what I see. Sean was saying you

76
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: needed oil.

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: I'm as good.

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: But butter's funnier because I was still making it maybe

79
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: four months ago. I get hungry and go to the

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: ghost like I'm craving up a lonely sound and go

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: get it. Yeah.

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: Is it like a comfort meal for you?

83
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: Now?

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Nah? It just bring back some memories. And it was

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: set up with a cook nine minutes you done?

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: Did y'all do your butter like this?

87
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: I do butter like that. Every day I cook. I

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: probably go through ten sticks of butter a week.

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: Unsalty, no salted.

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know if your food tastes

92
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: really good, it has a lot of butter in it.

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: So if you go to a restaurant and you're like, dang,

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: this taste.

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: Unsalted butter, yes, you might as well put vasseline unsalted.

96
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: Love All right, I ain't done this in a whiles.

97
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: I do know the bologney was first.

98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: God, this is gonna cut it.

99
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: When was the last time you ate this?

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: What year is this? How old are you?

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm forty.

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: Where here are you born?

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Eighty four?

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: That's the last time I had eighty four? Eighty four? Yes,

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: that's when he graduated high school. All right, I'm gonna

106
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: act like I'm being requisite with a knife. Oh my god, usually, Chris, Yes,

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god. I feel like I'm in jail right now.

108
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: I to jail, never to jail. But I think this

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: is what they ate too. Usually what you want this

110
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: to get a little hotter, But electrics don't get as

111
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: hot as the regular gas though. But I'm gonna put

112
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: it in there. I know you said only make two,

113
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: so you could only have a little bite because I

114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: know you're a pescatarian or scorpio or something. We're gonna

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: make three because it's three of them.

116
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Go for it.

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: He didn't cut the splits in them.

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: You cut the split when it gets right, when it raises.

119
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 3: Remember you cut yours early. No, the funnest seeing in bubble.

120
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: If you cut it now, I ain't gonna bubble. Yeah,

121
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: we'll steal are we gonna cut yours? What is yours?

122
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: Here? You cut it?

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: It ain't gon bubble, I don't think. Well, I'm sorry.

124
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: He oh. On the side, you're making a little tent.

125
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's supposed to have a bubble in it, right.

126
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna make it bubble. So now, but we're

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: using electric, so it might be different. Then with the

128
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: gas we turn this.

129
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: Up a little hotter.

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: You guys are funny.

131
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: All right, I'll put some splits in the shop. I

132
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: thought you mean split the top or he Oh.

133
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Now you take a cooking advice from Sean.

134
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: Sean's older than me.

Speaker 2: He give me all the time. You know. He a writer,

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: so I can say something another way and he'll say, oh,

137
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: you really meant to say this, but you just changed words.

138
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 2: That's how you got me last.

139
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: I said that for last.

140
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Night when I told you you said we're not gonna

141
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: use that certain word.

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I said, we're gonna do the act. Shant

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: is a trickster. You'd be like, stop asking me for sugar.

144
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: He'd be like, okay, he said. Then they'll say do

145
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: you have any sure? So did you just say sugar

146
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: and Spanish? That's the same thing.

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: So take me back. You guys were high school friends.

Speaker 3: still does rise. Can we get a zoom?

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: I guess we used to have the overheads, but.

155
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: We removed damn it.

156
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,600

Speaker 3: saying it feels like a family everybody, and let me

318
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: see not everybody. So if we hold four hundred people,

319
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: a hundred of them went to school with us or

320
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: or some kind of way our one degree of separation.

321
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: So when we say it's a block, it's like a

322
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: family block party. And we always and there's always somebody

323
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: we haven't seen it. We thought they were dead or

324
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: in jail. It'd be like yo when you get out.

325
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: And so every time listen, literally I see people from

326
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: second grade, third grade, who I was a cup scout with,

327
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: who I played at the YMCA with, Darby park Rogers

328
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: Parkers from Lawood and every week and then when we

329
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: come on stage, so unlike most comedy shows, you can't

330
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: really touch the comedians. We're a family environment. Everybody in

331
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: there loves each other. Half of them are packing, so

332
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: nothing's gonna happen. So so after the show, a lot

333
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: of times people come on stage and people have come

334
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: up and hug me. It'll be like my seventh grade teacher,

335
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: It'll be the pee coach it's really a family environment.

336
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: He made a real cheese maloney sounds like, that's all making.

337
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: Sure this sandwich looks like, Yeah, that one looks the

338
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: right color.

339
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: Colleen, that is a real cheese baloney sound.

340
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: It's the color of your husband.

341
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: Thanks all, you're gonna hook me up.

342
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: This is the color of my wife right now.

343
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: I need to my wife.

Speaker 2: Yes?

346
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Did you think I was Puerto Rican?

347
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 3: When first I thought you were other? Thought your Dominican?

348
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Dominican. I get Dominican, Puerto Rican. Yes, I

349
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: get every race because when you're mixed, you're just racially ambiguous.

350
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 3: Exactly depends on city. Went if you're in here, if

351
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: you're in New York, they think you're Puerto Rican, you're

Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, I already know I would. So take me

355
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: back to let's go back to the college days you're

356
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: pursuing comedy, Chris, Take me through that journey, because I

357
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: want to get closer to you, actor, producer, writer, director.

358
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: So taking there's a group of guys on campus that

359
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 3: have a comedy group. Right, so we formed a club.

360
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: These guys were comedians and we would do shows for

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: we started we cut our teeth with the fraternities. The

362
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: White friends would have rush Week and they would try

363
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: to have they would have prospective place. I just come

364
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: in and then they would have entertainment and that would

365
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: be me and these group of guys. Suleie McCullough, who

366
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: you know from the Jamie Fox Show and Don't be

367
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: a Menace and he's a hell of a writer producer,

368
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: was my roommate and he was also here's the reason

369
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: I actually became a comedian. We were talking with a

370
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: group of girls and they're like, what do you want

371
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 3: to do when when you get out of here. I'm

372
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 3: gonna wait, toll get out here. I'm gonna be a

373
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: standup comedian. And they were like, oh my god. I

374
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: love stand up. I love Eddie Murphy, I love Damon

375
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: WANs Oh. And then they're looking at me, they're like,

376
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: what about you. I was like, stand up comedian? And

377
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: literally that's how I became a stand up comedian because

378
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: I saw the attention he got and I was like

379
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: I need that attention. And from there we were doing

380
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: the friend houses. Then we would do shows on campus,

381
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: and then we would have big headliners come on campus

382
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 3: and perform for us. So at the time, Rob Schneider,

383
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: Jerry Seinfeld, how are you.

384
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,359

403
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: to eat a sandwich without chips since anytime. I'm always

404
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: looking for a back. Have you tried him? Of course,

405
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: it's amazing.

406
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, what that's what My father, who was Jamaican

407
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: like your family. My dad would always put stuff in

408
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: other sandwiches. He would put a fish filet and a

409
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: big mac.

410
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: That sounds like my mom and.

00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: way you bite that. You don't really like it, kind

413
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 3: of whenever people bite stuff with their front teeth.

414
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of baloney. Plus, technically it has

415
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: beef in it. I don't even beef. I'm sacrificing tails.

Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm allergic to beef and

417
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: oxtails was the hardest thing that in short rip, it's

418
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: the hardest thing to give up. That's the best meats,

419
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: and I would sacrifice. I'm like, you know what, if

452
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,240

453
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: ketchup for some kind of something because it's very dry.

454
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: The kool aid is weird.

455
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Do you usually make it like this at home?

456
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: Actually, you're supposed to have mayo or miracle whip on it.

457
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: One y'all both slipping no dig.

458

460
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,520

461
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 3: in there, but now that I'm tasting it there, that's

462
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: what's missing.

463
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,680

464
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,720

466
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: I like Mayo more than a miracle that zing.

467
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,920

Speaker 3: Jerry Seinfeld's show. So this is just Jerry Seinfeld. This

474
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: is David Spade. I think I don't know if he

475
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: had been on Sunday in Life yet life. Yeah, but

476
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 3: these were name headliners. And when you're a comedian, you're

477
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: going to perform anywhere and everywhere. That's gonna give you

478
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 3: a check, got it? And so they were coming to

479
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: headline our show, so it would be us young guys.

480
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: And then said headliner And it was always a treat

481
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: because we would have these fend those people would draw

482
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: the audience, you know what I mean.

483
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: But now, going back, you said you decided on the

484
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: whim because of the ladies liked the comedy idea. When

485
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: you first start going out, were you going out hitting

486
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: home runs right away?

487
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: I started off my first show was I was like,

488
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: this shit is easy? What is this struggle? They speak up?

489
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: And then the second and third show, I was like, oh,

490
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: I'm had to write some shit. Yeah, because I'm cursed

491
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: and blessed with the same gift, which is my wit,

492
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 3: and so I could just freestyle a whole show. And

493
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: so the first show I freestyled and I was like, oh,

494
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: this is easy, and the second shot time was oh

495
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: I think it was less black people on the show

496
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: the next time. So when I said Murray's greens and

497
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: they're like, is he talking about oh, I said a

498
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: do rag or something. I was a black reference. So

499
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, now only do I need to

500
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: write material. I need to make material less universal because

501
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 3: there's stuff that works in one room that may not

502
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: work in any other room. So I need to figure

503
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: out stuff that works in all rooms. And then sometimes

504
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: if you're in a black room, I'm gonna give them, Yeah,

505
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But it goes in for

506
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: not just the color of our skin. It goes for

507
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: whatever the room dictates. So if I'm doing a show

508
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: for the Girl Scouts, I'm gonna have Girl Scouts jokes.

509
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: If I'm doing jokes for the mayor, I'm gonna do

510
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: stuff with that's more political and intellectual. Possibly, so you

511
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: cater to your room. If I'm doing a party for

512
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: some Rolling Sixties, I'm gonna do some jokes for them.

513
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: So you're producing these shows and you're opening up for

514
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: these bigger I would say at the time, bigger comics, right,

515
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: and then are they catching wind of your guys talent

516
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: and pulling you out they.

517
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 3: Could care less? Okay, No, Actually, Souley actually got signed

518
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 3: by the same manager that Jerry Seinfeld had, so he

519
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,239
Speaker 3: had his career went to a different level because of

520
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: that signing.

521
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're producing the shows and then Sean at

522
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: this time, you're showing up to everything that.

523
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: Sean is making money. Now, I haven't seen Sean. I

524
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 3: won't see Sean. Sean doesn't know even know I'm doing

525
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: comedy at this point after high school, by the time

526
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: I went to college. They may come to see me

527
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: once or twice, but everybody's living on nobody's gonna go

528
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: visit somebody in college.

529
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: So he said they were. They said that. Sean said

530
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: he was following you.

531
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is he saw it wasn't like he's

532
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: coming to l who y'all got coming?

533
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Okay, And I'm assuming Sean, you were doing entrepreneurs stuff,

534
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: because I know you have other businesses outside.

535
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: Of the doing. We would go visit and hang out

536
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 2: with Chris, and then we creating different avenues for us

537
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: to continue to make money and different stuff like that.

538
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: And then as Chris start filming different shows, that's what

539
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: I got more success. Need to be here with me.

540
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: So we started being at the tapings the filmings wherever

541
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: he was. We stopped being more there with him, and they.

542
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: Actually produced one of our first tapings that Tisha Campbell directed,

543
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: which is called Get Up, Stand Up, which was with me,

544
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: Daryl Heath, Alex Thomas, and Suley McCullough. And we shot

545
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: it at this little club in the valley, and I

546
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: think that was their first taste in Hollywood. Could be fun, yeah, okay,

547
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: and then that was your first after graduation, that's around

548
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: ninety three four or something like that.

549
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: Was that your first big, your first TV big? I

550
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: just said first, that was your first though.

551
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: I think so I might have done some smaller stuff,

552
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: because no, I've done stuff before. There were shows back

553
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: then that they don't have now, like Evening at the

554
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: Improv and Comic View and stand Up New York, and

555
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: so I think that stand up there, there's a show

556
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: like that. There was a lot of shows. That's when

557
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 3: we got the impatist to go, let's create our own show.

558
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: This is pre depth, you know, and so we started.

559
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: We did that in lieu of selling it. But I

560
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: don't know what happened. I think it's it's out there somewhere.

561
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: And then that's when he first got the bug. And

562
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: then lives happen, people get married, have kids, do stuff,

563
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 3: and then they would always come to support my shows.

564
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: And then when Junior passed away in two fourteen is

565
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: when he really stepped one into stand up comedy full time,

566
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: him his brother Derek.

567
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: And then how did that feeling come feel after once

568
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: you guys started really working together, how did it feel?

569
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: It was easy because Sean is our point guard. He's

570
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: actually running this show. All right, I see if this

609
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I have my sweats.

Speaker 1: I saw you.

611

613
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: This ain't the pants.

614
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: They all right, take me through some of the hurdles

615
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: and the upsides, the behind the scenes of you making it,

616
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: Chris to where you are today because you've been in

617
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: the industry how long now.

618
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: Hold I've been at thirty plus, and there's always you're

619
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 3: hot and then you're not. But what allowed me to

620
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: sustain thirty years is not relying on my pretty face.

621
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: I've actually gone behind the scenes and wrote and produced

622
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: for a lot of your favorite comedians. So what I

623
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: tell young comedians is you're all gonna get opportunities. Some

624
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: people's opportunities are gonna be bigger than others. And your

625
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: friend is going to host the MTV Movie Awards. They're

626
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: gonna give him a group of writers to write the show,

627
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: and then he's gonna need people who know his voice

628
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: to write for him. And so I've done that for Jamie,

629
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: I've done that for Mike Eepps. I've done it for Kevin,

630
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: I've done it for Cedric, I've done it for Dion,

631
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: and they've done it for me. Not those guys, but

632
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: other people. And so you just have to stay close

633
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: to this. If this is what you really want to do.

634
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: You may not become Eddie Murphy, but you could become

635
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: Kenya Barris, you know what I mean. You may not

636
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: become Kevin Hart, but you might become Chris Spencer. There's

637
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: all types of ways to skin a cat for lack

638
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 3: of a better word.

639
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: And then you have a lot of relationships too. I

640
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: think your relationships also play a key to your success.

641
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: With my relationships are better than my talent, meaning I'm cool,

642
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: but my roller decks. That's before your time.

643
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, my snapchatchat forty, I'm forty zero.

644
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I have quite a few friends because

645
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: we all came up together. Some of us were eating

646
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: boloney sandwiches together, you know what I mean. And now

647
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: you know they're doing caviaar and I'm back to fucking balogney.

648
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: But nonetheless he's a laughing some of this stuff. Okay, ladys,

649
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: she's looking at me so seriously.

650
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: But now, okay, I just recently I told you I

651
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: recently did an interview with Nick. So I'm gonna take

652
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: you back when I bounce you back. All right, you

653
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: were one of the key players, if not the key

654
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: player behind walling out.

655
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: Not the key player. Nick Cannon is young, youthful, had

656
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: this great idea for a show. He showed it to me,

657
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is dope, but we could

658
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: make it better. And so I gathered a group of

659
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: writers and come we enhanced it.

660
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Wait when he showed it to you, did he take

661
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: you to an actual improv picture?

662
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: To me a verbally pitture? Not even he verbally pitched me.

663
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: And then we collaborated with his people and my people

664
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 3: and made it a presentation at the Comedy Union where

665
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: we also did Comedy Block party, and then they picked

666
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 3: it up, and then we did another pilot and then

667
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: the rest is whatever. Twenty one years of making magic.

668
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: Now he was in his twenties. What made you jump

669
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: to support him? Because I know he was in his

670
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: He's had to been like twenty.

671
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: Five or something. I can't support people younger than me.

672
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: No, I'm curious.

673
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: He was my friend.

674
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was. He was the young guy that everybody

675
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: was talking about in the clubs and he was, for

676
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: lack of a better word, he was did he Puffy?

677
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: Did he's in trouble? Puffy wasn't in trouble. And he

678
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: was very creative and he was also the guy that

679
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: could put talent together and create things. He was always creating. Yeah,

680
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 3: you can't wait on Hollywood, they're not creative. You have

681
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: to actually chew the food and put it in their

682
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: mouth for them to get it. And that's Nick was doing.

683
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: And when he came up and wanted out. I was like,

684
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: I would absolutely do whatever it takes to make this

685
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: thing fantastic. And I was the head writer for the

686
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: first year, and then I had a child and things

687
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: went this way and I got another job. He went

688
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: on to do whatever. Twenty years of success. We're still differends.

689
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: We still work together to this day. And so that

690
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: opportunity was really great more great for him. But it was.

691
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: Now when you say head writer, what does that? What

692
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: did that entail? You wrote for every comic on there.

693
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: There's a room for writers, right, and I'm in charge

694
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: of the materials that are going to be presented to

695
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: for the show. Sometimes we would have a board like

696
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: this and I would see what everybody is read the

697
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: scripts that everybody's created. Say, we're gonna do some stuff

698
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: about blooney sandwiches. Give me all the bloney sandwiches joke.

699
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: We put it up here. We'll all aside which was

700
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: the best, and that will go into the packet. And

701
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: then that packet would go to the higher ups to go, oh,

702
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: this is we only sketch. It's funny. And so I

703
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: was the liaison between the higher ups and the writer's room.

704
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 3: So it's my job to maintain both of these relationships.

705
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Oh wow, and that wasn't your first. Now, how far

706
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: in before you start with doing the wilding out head

707
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: writing stuff?

708
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Was I a writing?

709
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

710
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 3: I was already writing. I started writing around two thousand

711
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: when Jamie Fox hosted the MTV Music Awards, and then

712
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: from there I just started getting writing gigs because, like

713
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: I said, when said comedian gets a gig, there's going

714
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: to be the people that write for the show, and

715
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 3: then there's going to be his people who know his voice.

716
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: And I had the opportunity of doing that several times

717
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: before the Well and Out show.

718
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: And then when you got into acting, were you taking

719
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: acting class?

720
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: I was acting that whole time. Matter of fact, the

721
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: writing took over when the acting got slow, you know, So.

722
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: You didn't sit still during any of the No.

723
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: Remember I had a late night talk show too. There's

724
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: no you can't stop. And that's what I love about

725
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: this generation. They're not waiting. They will shoot a whole

726
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: movie on an iPhone.

727
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean? And you like that

728
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people some people hate on it.

729
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: Their haters, I love that, you know what I mean

730
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: a lot of them are hating.

731
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Of that.

732
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: A lot of us are old school now evans still

733
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: only where it's fitted baseball hats. Sometimes you're set in

734
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: your ways, trust me, calling right now. You could have

735
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: sixteen diamonds on it and be worth ten million to be.

736
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: I aware of that shit. And that's how we are,

737
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Sometimes we're setting their ways

738
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 3: because that was his generation. I love singing it all,

739
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I love what kay Sinat

740
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: is doing.

741
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I love well, you like what he's doing too, Okay.

742
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: This is it. That's like my mom being mad at me.

743
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 3: Turn off that goddamn hip hop. Hip Hop is the future,

744
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 3: Kaysat is the future. Yeah, I love all of it.

745
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 3: I love entertainment and comedians love each other. So when

746
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 3: you said why did I help Nick, it's because Nick

747
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 3: is a comedian. I love comedians. Let me tell you

748
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: the story, Robin Williams, I did a show at Caroline's

749
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 3: in New York and I was doing the midnight show

750
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: and Jeff Garland was doing the ten o'clock show or

751
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 3: eight o'clock showed. I was doing the ten o'clock show,

752
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 3: and for some reason, Jeff Garland let Robin Williams go

753
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: on first, the paint was peeling off the walls. You know,

754
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: they have like pictures of famous comedians on. They were laughing.

755
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: Charlie Chaplin was dying, May West whoever he's murdering. So

756
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 3: after he gets off stage, Jeff Garland goes on and

757
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 3: it's not good. I mean, he had to work to

758
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: get him. He's a professional show but he had work

759
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: to do. But Robin came in the back, and I

760
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: don't know if there was a pied piper or something,

761
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 3: but all of a sudden it went from ten to

762
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: eight comedians to four hundred comedians were in the back

763
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 3: listening to Robin Williams talk shop, tell stories, and he's

764
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: talking to us and he's asking questions. We love each other.

765
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 3: This fraternity runs deep. I don't care. I don't care

766
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: who you are if you tell something, unless they're an asshole.

767
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: But if you talk to a vet comedian and telling me,

768
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 3: you stand up. They want to know what's it like? Now?

769
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: What's going on? Are you at the comedy store? Do

770
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: you go to the laugh factory? I remember this time

771
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: and you share stories? One time I was writing for Laughing.

772
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 3: You remember show Laughing? You do it? She's too young,

773
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: it was the fifty year reunion of Laughing. I got

774
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 3: hired by a comedian named a writer named John Max

775
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: who writes. He think I write for award shows. He

776
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: writes for all the award shows, including Presidents, Governors. He's

777
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 3: the man, John Max. And so I'm writing for Laughing

778
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: and Billy Crystal and Jay Leto are in the room.

779
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: So we're talking about rehearsal because they're gonna do something,

780
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: and then they start telling jokes. I'm like, I gotta

781
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,600

910
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 3: before I got the job. Now, when I got the job,

923
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like fucking And it wasn't until the

924
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 3: last setting whatever it was, that I finally made her laugh.

925
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: I said, listen, you got me upside down, boy, you

926
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 3: turned me. I said some jokes with her songs in it,

927
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: and she goes, that's funny. You're very funny. I said,

928
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: you should have fucking laughed earlier.

929
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: But is that harder that? That would must be a

930
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: lot harder to make one person laugh though, right.

931
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was more people in the room. But if

932
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 3: the King ain't laughing. Ain't nobody laughing? Yeah, so every

933
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 3: now the cameraman and them were shaken because its fucking funny,

934
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: but they're not laughing loud because she ain't laughing, you know.

935
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: All right, cool, all right, awesome. I'm trying to think

936
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: is there anything that I left off the table when

937
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,839

00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: It's a great run.

945
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: And then why did you guys end up moving from

946
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: the Chinese Theater all the way to Inglewood? Is it

947
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: because you just wanted to keep it home based.

948
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: That the opportunity for Inglewood, which is our home, came

949
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: up and we're like, this is easy. It was also

950
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 3: because a lot of people would be like, yo, man,

951
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: I gotta get to work, and they would leave early

952
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: and come back this way, and we're like, you know what,

953
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 3: we need to spot down here so they can stay

954
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 3: throughout the whole show. And literally the show stays until

955
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 3: we say you have to do the birthdays.

956
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,040

00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 3: It's a whole we're gonna start streaming this year.

982
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: What do you do to promote the show showing because

983
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,560

984
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very stressful. It's social media. When you go

985
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: places with Chris or different venues, you have to have

986
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: your brand on and marketing your brand. And as when

987
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: I go to the places with Chris, I'm usually standing

988
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: off in the cut and somebody come say to me, oh, man,

989

Speaker 2: killing it over there? Man, what's going on?

991
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 3: And it's easier than passing out cars to everybody. He

992
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: wears the cop They go, oh, you're Sean Elliott. Oh

993
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,160

Speaker 3: seeing Tupac. They heard of them, and you guys are

995
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,680

996
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 3: that our shows aren't regular shows. So the fact that

997
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: now they get to talk to Sean and Derek can

998
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 3: find out how they can bring their office, their boss's birthday,

999
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 3: their birthday, just they just want to come celebrate because
