How did you 61 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 3: stumble on that? Did you stumble on that? Whatever happens 62 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 3: namtil or would it preconcede. 63 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: Well, it's so funny. I saw the shift happening, okay, 64 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: and that was because of DC Young Fly. Really I 65 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: just like to create, So I started creating content, but 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really see the power of it until DC. 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: It was probably like twenty fourteen, Me and DC was 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: doing a show together in West Virginia, Charleston, West Virginia. Wow, 69 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: and he sold out a convention center. He had just 70 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: got wilding out or something like that then, but they 71 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: weren't there because of wilding out. They were there because 72 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: of the Instagram videos, the Vine videos, and he had 73 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: pretty much sold out a convention center. And I was like, 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: wait a minute. I know people who are on television, 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: you don't sell these kind of tickets. And I saw 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: the shift happening, and I'd already started creating content. But 77 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: that's when I made up in my mind, Okay, I'm 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: going in this direction because this is different. This is different. 79 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: And the reason I do commentary is because that's really 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: my wheelhouse. So I wanted to be a journalist. So 81 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to go to school. I was. I was 82 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: in college. I ended up dropping out, but I was 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: in college for communications of getting a communications degree and 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: a minor in journalism. Yeah, so like hearing that, some 85 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: people will hear that and be like, oh, that makes 86 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: sense because of my style. But I always had like 87 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: a reporter like style to you know, how I delivered things. 88 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: So it was just that was really in my wheelhouse. 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know that people would gravitate toward it. I 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: actually thought that people were going to see me as 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: too boring or too like mellow because in our community, 92 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: like we need elevated voices. Yeah, loud and high energy. 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah that's what they told us. We liked. Yes, So 94 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: I didn't see where I existed in these spaces. But 95 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I love to create, so I was like, let's try it. 96 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: And I mean within a year gained a million followers 97 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: and then it started to take off. Yeah you remember 98 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: your first viral video? Absolutely, so who do you do? 99 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham? Odell Beckham shout out to Odell because he 100 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: did he see it? Oh yeah, yeah, him, had a conversation, 101 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Oh that's a good dude out of all the people. 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: Like he didn't take it well in the beginning, but 103 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: after we had a conversation, he was really cool about 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: it because I told him it wasn't personal right. You know, 105 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: he may not even remember because it was a back 106 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and forth on Instagram. Oh okay, okay, so you didn't 107 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: have an actual commerce. No, I haven't met him. We 108 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: had a back and forth on Instagram. Damn, that's a 109 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: that's a public y'all. Couldn't he be Yeah, he didn't 110 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: want to do it private. 111 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: He did. 112 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: He came straight to the page like yeah, yeah. But 113 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: after I explained my point of view, he was like, 114 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: I get my point of view, and then he put 115 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: me on to his point of view because at the time, 116 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't understand his level of fame. 117 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't that what I was doing was so bothersome. 118 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: It was the straw that broke the camel's back. He 119 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: has to continuously see himself people saying and then now yeah, 120 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: and then everybody's gravitating to this way and he's like, man, 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: I had enough, and then he just snapped on me. Yeah. 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: But after you know, the back and forth, he was like, 123 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, I get it. And then after that I 124 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: never said anything else about him, because one I understand 125 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: everybody just doesn't take it well. Yes, So so. 126 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: If somebody doesn't take it, well, you're done with them. 127 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: You don't. Yeah, yeah, I'm done. I'm done because it's 128 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: not because one I would like it for whenever I 129 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: joke about things, I do want the people that it's 130 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: about to be able to laugh at it, unless you're 131 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: a person that I believe is not a good person, 132 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: because then I'm talking about you. Don't. I don't care 133 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: how you feel. You will keep it going. Yeah, but 134 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with Odell, So yeah, if 135 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with you, but you've have 136 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: a problem with you not able to laugh at what 137 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing, then for me, it's not enjoyable for me. 138 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: But you you got into it with Kevin durand yeah, 139 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: he deserved that though, because we had a difference at 140 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: opinion about basketball. That was it? Okay, what were your opinion? 141 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Defense wins championships? Are you from Kiddy Draymond? Defense wins championships? 142 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that the stats proved that, you 143 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, defensive teams win championships more than 144 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: offensive teams. You need both, you do, you need both? 145 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: But I think he's looking at it from the point 146 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: of view he's like, Okay, y'all had this great defensive team. 147 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: You up three to one. 148 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got walked down, and you guys didn't make 149 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: it to the shower. 150 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: You was blowing up my phone. 151 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, me and my mom and my family were in 152 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 3: the Hampton, were enjoying some wine and some cheese trudery, 153 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: and here y'all go knocking on my door, coming to 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: get me. I ain't no defensive I've never been on 155 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: the defensive team. 156 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: That's true. But you know when he got his best 157 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: defensive stats on that team, his most blocks, most everything, 158 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: best defensive efficiency while with the Warriors. So it wasn't 159 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: that he was a defensive player, but he sure helped 160 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: on defense. Whatever. 161 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: How was the offense was a KD step Clay, it's KD. 162 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: What I'm saying K. 163 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: Just like he told them, Like with Patrick Beverly, I'm 164 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. You know who I am. Right, that's the 165 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: thing what I joke about. Forget he was Kevin Durant. 166 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: That's Kevin. That's mister Durant, right, that's the durantula. I Look, 167 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: whenever I joke about people or say these things, I 168 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: would Kevin. Listen, Kevin, I would have never said all 169 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: that you caught me a trash comedian. Damn yeah, I 170 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: was out the rim. I mean, that was out. That 171 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: was the first response. I was like, well, I ain't 172 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna say. What I said wasn't the nicest, but I did. Yeah, 173 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: So what I said was because he was like offense 174 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: with championships, okay, And I said, well, it's this type 175 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: of thinking that may explain why he hasn't won since 176 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: he left the Warriors. Not the nicest thing. No, it 177 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: was not gonna go there. You know that first of all, 178 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: you know that's the touchy subject. Yes, so you went there, 179 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: you hole. In my defense, I ain't know he was 180 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna see that. You know, Kevin Durant's on social media. 181 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: It's a lot of comments. It's a lot of comments 182 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: shouting so so. But you got a blue check mark 183 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: by your name. Yeah yeah, So in my defense, right, 184 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: that's why I said before it wasn't the nicest thing 185 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: to say, but it wasn't. I didn't attack him. 186 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: You didn't explains why you haven't won a championship outside. 187 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: Of the mindset. I think the mindset needs to shift. 188 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: I think the mindset needs to shift. That's my that's 189 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: my basketball opinion. I never said he was trashed. I 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: think Kevin Durantz one of the top fifteen people to 191 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: ever touch a basketball, Okay, you know what I mean. 192 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: I think very highly of his ability on the floor. 193 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I think the mindset is wrong. I think he got 194 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: two rings on a team that was really that did 195 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: really well on defense in addition to how good the 196 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: offense was. Yes, and the only team in the history 197 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: of basketball who won without a good defensive efficiency is 198 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: the Lakers, and we ain't that's too. Of the top 199 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: five greatest players of all time on one roster. 200 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 3: But when you look at Kevin and you look at 201 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 3: what he's able to do, I think it was And 202 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 3: you're never gonna get a consensus on this. Golden State 203 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: needed Kevin Durant as much as Kevin Durant needed them, 204 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: so it was ordered to it was they, and what 205 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: it did is enabled Golden State to complete the dynasty. 206 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: And it gave Kevin Durant validation because he had rings, 207 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: because he was going to be the greatest player to 208 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 3: never win a championship. Had he not got those, that's 209 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: bestowed upon Barkley or Karl Malone or someone like that. 210 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: But he got those rings. I hear you, but think 211 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: about this. I believe because you remember he was up 212 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: three to one against the Warriors that same year. Yes, 213 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: with Oklahoma City. Yes, I believe Oklahoma City gets it done. 214 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: I think he gets he brings one home to Oklahoma City. 215 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: I really believe that. Yeah. 216 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: I think he had gotten to the point that he 217 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 3: didn't believe that he could get it done. And see 218 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: and now he's like, if I'm up three to one 219 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: and I got gamed on my home court and I 220 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: can't get it done the likelihood and it's not gonna 221 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 3: get any better. 222 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: See, I don't believe. I believe he could have got 223 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: it done. I believe that Oklahoma City team wins one 224 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: if they stay together. The reason I come off so 225 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: harsh in the videos because he said I was trash 226 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: man and that you can't say that I'm a trash 227 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: commit because then I gotta show you how good I 228 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: am at this. I gotta so I had and it 229 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: was so funny because when I saw it, so you deep. Oh, 230 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: when I saw it, I had my children with me, 231 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: so I couldn't even respond immediately, but I was taking 232 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: up to their moms the next day. I was just 233 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: hugging up I was like, Hey, your daddy about to 234 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: go viral. Daddy about to go viral, and a bunch 235 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: of people hit me, They're like did you see this? 236 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: And be like, you know, I saw it, And the thing, 237 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm a nerd, so research is fun for me. Yes, 238 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: So I couldn't wait. I was like, oh, I can't 239 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: wait to tell you about yourself. Let me tell you 240 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: all the things I know about you, Missus Durant. And 241 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: when I released it, it went crazier than I thought. 242 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: For me, it was, and it's so funny. I think 243 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: people think I think about these things more than I do. 244 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: After I make the video, I'm done with it. I'm 245 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: done with it. I don't care. 246 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: Yes, what is it with you and athletes? Why you 247 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: got to be going digging at them? Because I love sports. 248 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: I love sports more than anything. 249 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: It's like yesterday I took a meeting and they were like, 250 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: what TV shows are you watching right now? None? I 251 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: watch sports. I love sports. Athletes are like, they're the 252 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: greatest people in the world to me. Yeah, I love athletes, 253 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: so you know, and for me, it's just like I 254 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: think it's a different kind of genius, you know what 255 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: I mean? Like when I'm watching just Kevin Durant. When 256 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: I watch him do what he do, pain it like 257 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: it gets on my nerves when somebody goes, ah, he 258 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: does that because he's seven feet you know, I mean 259 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: seven feet seven foot players played in the NBA. How 260 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: many even played like Kevin Durant before Kevin Durant zero 261 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. It's him. He's brilliant at what he does. Yes, 262 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: So that's the thing. And I appreciate watching people's gifts. 263 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: I like experiencing people's gifts. So have you play in person?

You see you and 266 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: you see you in the stand. Now, I'm gonna be 267 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: hard for him to hit. Yeah, he got me by 268 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: like a foot, like, yeah he got He got to 269 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: swing down to really get me. But but I think, uh, 270 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: I saw him before. First time I saw him he 271 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: was with the Nets.

So a lot of time. So 315 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: one of the things that I point to, like, if 316 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: I was to create something about you, I would create 317 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: something about uh, the irony of somebody being on the 318 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: cusp of getting all the things they deserve, and then 319 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: magically it disappears.

Yep, yep, twelve years? 335 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 3: And you all you and you got you got comedy 336 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: beefs all over the place. You and Karl Holcomb going 337 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: back and forth. They got a disagreement. 338 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: This is the funny part is I really don't have 339 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: comedy beefs. It's always misunderstandings. That's what you misunderstanding. No, no, no, 340 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: that's what you call it. Now. The funny part is 341 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: in the account. We're so like connected in the comedy world, man. 342 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: We we all are like brothers and sisters man for 343 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: the most part. And then so the Corey thing, Me 344 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: and Corey shared a mutual friend, okay, and our mutual friend, 345 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: he was he was dissatisfied how he was being treated. 346 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: He felt like he was being treated on the road. 347 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: Because one thing about young comics, they're hungry. Yes, they 348 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: want opportunity. Yes, So he's on the road. Corey's on 349 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: the road. He's going out there. But Corey says he's 350 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: not ready. Oh okay, So and I understand this. This 351 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: is just some big brother type shit. So for Corey, 352 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: it's like, you're not ready. I'm protecting you from yes, 353 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: because failure can ruin your self esteem and ruin everything. 354 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: And people remember your bad performances. They don't necessarily remember 355 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: your good ones. Okay, they always rememb So I understood 356 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: the concept. But he came to me and when he 357 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: was disappointed, and I was like, yo, I'll take you 358 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: on the road. So I took him on the road. 359 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: And it was clear he didn't have like road etiquette. 360 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: So we would be out like like you got a team. 361 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: Everybody on the team represents you. Correct, that is correct. 362 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: If they do anything, it's me, it's shitning they don't, 363 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: they don't even think, they don't mention their name. And 364 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: he was still moving as an individual on my tour. 365 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, to the point where you know, we 366 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: constantly kept bumping heads. And then he had one night 367 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: where things really went left and I like had enough 368 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: and like I used, I suspended him indefinitely. And see, 369 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: you could have just listened to Corey and then everything 370 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: had been okay. But the thing was, Corey is still 371 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: like a big brother to him, So I believe, and 372 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: I'll never like, I never got to know if this 373 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: is real or not because me and Corey didn't talk. 374 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: We squashed it or whatever, but we ain't really talk. 375 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: But I could tell by the podcast that he was 376 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: telling Corey. So I'll give you an example. So after 377 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: I suspended, I was going to take women comics out 378 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: on the road because they I felt like they were 379 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: lacking opportunity. And I was in Ontario, California, and one 380 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: of the ladies that I had on the show. One 381 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: didn't show up, one showed up late. Damn. Yeah. So 382 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: there's a transgender comic by the name of Pink Fox. 383 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: It's my dog. Fox was there, so come on Fox, 384 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: get on, thank you save me. I got a host 385 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: and he was there. He was like, dag, you ain't 386 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: asked me to go up or whatever. He was like, yo, 387 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: my mom here, my sister here. He like whatever, and 388 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm like them being here doesn't leverage anything, correct, because 389 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: you got to learn from your mistakes. You still suspended. 390 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: And then I was preparing for my special. So I 391 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: was doing all these shows and the House of Blue 392 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: and around the country, and I did House of Blues 393 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: in Houston, and then he showed up in Houston and 394 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: he was wanting to go up, and I didn't let 395 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: him go up. 396 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 3: No, you suspended, you suspended. If you suspended, you don't 397 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 3: get to come to work. 398 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: So he kept telling Corey about the times he's coming 399 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: out and I'm not letting him up, and who I'm 400 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: letting up instead of him? But did he ever tell 401 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: Corey that he you had suspended it? I have no idea. 402 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: Oh so I'm watching and it looks like Corey is 403 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: like trying to defend him, but also is like talking 404 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: crazy about me, and I'm like, that's cool. He's sitting 405 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: right there, He'll clear it up. And he sat there 406 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: week after week after week and did not deny anything 407 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Corey said, even though he knew it was all lies. 408 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: Heartbroken dog. That hurt me. That hurt me for real. 409 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: It was so when everybody was watching it, like, oh 410 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: they beefing, I ain't. I ain't care nothing about what 411 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: Corey was talking about. And I'm like, bro, you my brother. 412 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: You know he lying. You know this thing, the things 413 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: he's saying is not true. You know what happened. 414 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: Because the words been making it seem like you gatekeeping, 415 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: like you trying to prevent him from getting on stage 416 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: from shine, like. 417 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm doing him wrong. And I'm like, bro, And then Corey, 418 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: you know, go to is Ryan's gay? And he was 419 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: liked he rolled with the transgender comedian or whatever they 420 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: deal with. That's to go to. And I was like, 421 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: you know, the funny part is, out of that whole scenario, 422 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: the only person who didn't switch up on me was 423 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: the trans How ironic is that the only person who 424 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: didn't switch sides on me. So so it was so 425 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: so have you had a conversation with Corey? We squashed 426 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: it long ago. He called they actually was called. It 427 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: was a three way call between us and it ended 428 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: up getting squashed. 429 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: And then they ended up falling out. But did he 430 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 3: ever tell Corey Corey? I was I was moving. I 431 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: was moving in a way that wasn't beneficial for this man. 432 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 3: Because when we're on the road, I'm the if I'm 433 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: headlining the tour, and if he's headlining the tour, and 434 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 3: he brought me along, anything that goes sideways is on him. 435 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 3: And I was moving and I was moving not a 436 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 3: court not in the best interest of Ryan. 437 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're a little brother. Yeah, does a little 438 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: brother always see what the big brother sees? You see 439 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I think he just it was 440 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: just I looked like a hurdle to him instead of 441 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: somebody who was trying to teach him. And it's so 442 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: funny because he got like his career picked up enough 443 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: to where he was going out on the road and 444 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: then he would come to me and tell me about 445 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: his road experiences and things, and I would and I 446 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't say anything, but I would laugh because I would 447 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: listen to him dealing with him, yeah, and he would 448 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: he would be talking to me and not even understanding 449 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: understand that, Bro, this was you. You're describing you. But 450 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: you know he's still And some people that hear this 451 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: story and be like, yoh, dag bro, I never deal 452 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: with dude again. But you got to understand the type 453 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: of person I am. This person moved from from where 454 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: they came from, across country to make it and then 455 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: right now their career. They found a pathway to their 456 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: career and it's ascending more than they ever did. They're 457 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: responsible for themselves, their mom, their sister, all of these things. 458 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: And if in this one moment of defending me, it 459 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: can set back all the years of work that you've done. 460 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: That's a hard position for some people. Yes, and some 461 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: people go, well, that's not really loyal. You don't know 462 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: how you will respond in these situations. I don't know 463 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: the type of pressure he was dealing with sitting there. 464 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: It could have been killing him not saying nothing right. 465 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, he had to go live with that and 466 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: sit with that or whatever. It affected our relationship and 467 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: it affects it to this day. But that's always gonna 468 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: be my brother, you know, and you know I try 469 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: not to. You know, as people grow, I try to 470 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: be like, hey, okay, he'll uh, you know, one day, 471 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: we'll have a conversation later whenever he's in a certain cause. 472 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: I think you just have to get in certain shoes. 473 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: You know, you've been everything. You were the rookie you were, 474 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: you were the veteran. You you did the big contract 475 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: and you did the you know, now you're the guy 476 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: with the expectations when you're in the Ravens. This is 477 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: this is our primary target on the offense, you know. 478 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: And if the Ravens you was talking to rookie you, 479 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: y'all ain't even no two different people. You're two different people. 480 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: So you know, part of me being older is understanding 481 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: that he he had some growing to do, and whenever 482 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: he grows to a certain point, we'll revisit that conversation 483 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: and he'll be able to accept it better. 484 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: After watching a close friend grow through a loss a 485 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: few years back, I saw how quickly grief can turn 486 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: the financial stress. No one deserves that feeling I saw 487 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: him feel, and I mean no one. No matter what 488 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: I offered to help, it wasn't enough. I promised my 489 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: family I would never make them feel the same way 490 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: my buddy felt. 491 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: Trust me. 492 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: That experience of watching a close friend grow through financial 493 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 3: stress while grieving changed how I think about protecting my family. 494 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 3: Life insurance isn't about expecting the words, but it's about 495 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: making sure the people that you love are supported no 496 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 3: matter what.

Has so many people beef with phaseon? 510 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: Oh faith man, This is the thing about Fason man 511 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: Me and Faizion didn't really have beef. That that's a misunderstanding. Yeah, 512 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: no, no no, But Faison likes me. He likes you now 513 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: he always liked me. The thing about Buzz he it's 514 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: his delivery. It's so soon as Faison talk about anybody, 515 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: they go, oh he don't like them. That's not what 516 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: it is. He's just his His tone is real negative. 517 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: His delivery is real negative. But it's like he was 518 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: trying to look out for me. Okay, it just the 519 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: delivery was so bad. People are like Dag Fason talking 520 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: junk about you, but he really was Fason cool. Traison 521 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: is cool. The thing with Faison is I think people 522 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: don't understand his perspective. Faison, he was there for Deaf 523 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: Comedy Jam, he was there for Friday. He's been and 524 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: hit movies. He's did, he did sitk On's Parenthood was 525 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: a successful show. He's seen all part of what this 526 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: industry is, yes, and so he's very knowledgeable about what 527 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: it is. 528 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 3: But it's shifted so with a whole different when he 529 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 3: started to where. 530 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: It is now is it's a whole different thing. So 531 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: the things he'll he'll say stuff that's true, but it's 532 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: not time. It's not true in today's time. And and 533 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: it would actually benefit my generation to learn some of 534 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: what he's talking about to be able to, you know, 535 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: utilize it today. But he would have to understand that 536 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: that is, things have changed the whole like since then. 537 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: You know. But I think it's just a it's just 538 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: a generational thing and that. 539 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 3: Will always be. It is, it will always be. There's 540 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: a gap, it's kind of like now. Yeah, and but 541 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 3: I get it. I had and he's great. He actually 542 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 3: put your special on his page. 543 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Can't nobody tell me nothing about al I flip every table. 544 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to fight me about that's my brain. 545 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 3: He Hey, the thing is with him, you know exactly 546 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: where you stay with him? Listen, it ain't no misunderstanding 547 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 3: like man, I won, That's what I'm saying. You see 548 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 3: we talk about me having misunderstanding. Yeah, I ain't. 549 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: Got no misunderstanding. And yeah, you see what I'm saying. 550 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm not that hard to understand if you was straightforward. Yes, 551 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: So the thing is Ali, So me and I LEI. 552 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: People don't know how far back my special goals. My 553 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: special just dropped. We shot it in twenty twenty three, 554 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: back when he shot Domino Effect, right, yeah, that's how 555 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: long ago. It was me and him like so he 556 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: called me, he was like, got me one. He was like, Ryan, 557 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you and Ali. Ali isn't shy about how 558 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: good he is. He knows he's good. And he was like, 559 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: this might be my best work today to date. And 560 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, Ali medskin, got on boots, 561 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 1: It's crazy. He was like, it's the best bird. Yeah. 562 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: And then when Domino Effect dropped, I watched it. I 563 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: was like, he's out of here, He's out of here. 564 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: It's one of the best specials I've seen in twenty years. Yeah, 565 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. And then he was like, I'm waiting on 566 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: you when yours coming, and I was like, we shot it. 567 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: And then like he was with me, I kept talking 568 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: to him about all the like stuff I was running 569 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: into man, all of the ups and downs and how 570 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: difficult it was for me. And then even if I 571 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: was wanting to follow his blueprint and take it to 572 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: my YouTube, I lost my YouTube page, lost the YouTube, 573 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: not lost it like that, lost the the email address. 574 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: So we tried everything. I went through agents, I went 575 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: through people who worked at YouTube. Everything just kept getting 576 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: this run around and everything. And then I dropped it 577 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: on Patreon and it did really well, and Ali and 578 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: him talked about it and I was wanting it there 579 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: on Ali. I wanted to work with my brother, but 580 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know if he would be up to it. 581 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: So and then we talked about it and he was like, nah, 582 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: I think this is this is the move. This is 583 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: the move. And it was so easy. It was so easy. 584 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: He he came to me, he was like, this is 585 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: the deal. It was like, what are you about? That 586 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: was like, I accept the deal. The thing about me 587 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: is collaboration is collaboration. Too many times people like to 588 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: have offers about like too much, the conversation about the split. 589 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't care nothing about that. I got this body 590 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: of work that I think that I want to put out, 591 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: that I want to put out that I think is phenomenal. 592 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: You have an audience that you have curated that likes 593 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: stand up comedy. I have an audience to also add 594 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: to this audience. Let's make this. And we both have 595 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: had our run ends with the industry not respecting great art, 596 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: where it's just about like how many people you can 597 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: move and it's not about how great the body of 598 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: work is. And so there was I had had offers, 599 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: there's this idea that I didn't have nowhere to take 600 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: it or nobody wanted it or nothing no no no 601 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: no no no, Like there were plenty of people who 602 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: saw the value in it, but I understood, but you 603 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: also understood the value in it. I did understand the 604 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: value in it. When I made the announcement that I 605 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: was just going to keep it myself to myself, Dave 606 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: Chappelle text me and was like, this is how you 607 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: do that. And that's when I knew I was making 608 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: the right decision because I was like, it's so I 609 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: know it's getting around and it's being seen because how 610 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: did it hit your desk? So I was like, all right, 611 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: so that and that was when I put it on 612 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: Patreon initially, when I moved to Ali Sadiq, that's when 613 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: I was like, and me and Ali have always respected 614 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: each other and respected our cras or what. It's just 615 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: it's a perfect marriage of people who love this, love this, 616 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: respect this and respect each other and want to see 617 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: not only the art but our people grow. And yeah, 618 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: thriving this. Yeah, so it's like this is just the beginning. 619 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: This is just the beginning. I want to be able 620 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: to do for others what Ali has done for me. Yeah. 621 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is that we want you 622 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 3: to do well. We just don't want you to do 623 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,439 Speaker 3: better than us.

You can 737 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: do it consistently. 738 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 3: You guys have very interesting stories and you can tell it. 739 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, not everybody can. 740 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 3: Everybody has a story, but everybody can't tell the story. 741 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 3: Everybody can't be entertaining. I found out early on because 742 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 3: I like comedians because I have a sense of humor myself. 743 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: But they can tell a story. Yeah, man, it's the 744 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: thing is and you're entertaining. It's your job. Your job 745 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: is to entertain, to bore people to death if you 746 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: don't like. And that's one of the hard things with 747 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: my style too, because it's not energetic. It's for people 748 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: who can be entertained by words. Right. Yeah, So that's 749 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: the one thing I love about comedy. I just wish 750 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: we lived in a time where people didn't hate so 751 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: much because like, let's say you watch one of my clips, 752 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: or you watch my special, let's say you don't like it.

You can elevate me, 769 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: but I try to suppress somebody else.

That's my friend, right, But Wayne, 886 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: why did you say I made twenty thousand dollars off 887 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: the internet? My baby mama watched this and I don't 888 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: use the term baby, but the mother of my children. Yeah. 889 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: I was like, you're co parent, my co parent, she 890 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: watches this. Yes she no, I ain't broke, but I 891 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: don't think she knows that I got it like that. Yeah, 892 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: I got it like that because she I make tour 893 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: money because I'm always on the road. She ain't no 894 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: like supplemental income, Like what are you doing? So? Nah? 895 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: But me and her, like I have a great co 896 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: parents and relationship. Now it's so tough. 897 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 3: Early on, it is tough and you're both young. Yeah, 898 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,239 Speaker 3: it's tough, and you both want to be right. Yeah, 899 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 3: that's the hardest part. 900 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: It's and it's a lot harder to be more right than. 901 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 3: Them because you don't realize you tugging, but you're not 902 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 3: pulling at each other, you're pulling at the child. 903 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the harder thing. But I want 904 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: to be right. I have. Her need to be right 905 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: was greater than mine. She probably would say, you'll need 906 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: to be right with greater than hers. Nah. She can 907 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: be honest, like if she when she it depends on 908 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: how mad she is. If she's not mad, she can 909 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: be honest about it. But the things like she just 910 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: she's just like I'm mellow. She's on the opposite. He's 911 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: a volcano. Well that's why you guys worked at it. 912 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,799 Speaker 1: That's why we work. Yeah. So, but like we're just 913 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: working through, like getting our custody agreement together now, you know. 914 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 1: And I told you I'm gonna be more candid on 915 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: here than I've ever been. I never talked about my 916 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: co parents in situation, but whenever me. I have two children. 917 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,879 Speaker 1: I have an eight year old son and a ten 918 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: year old daughters are about to turn eleven, and it's 919 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,320 Speaker 1: been it's been rough. I've been there every step of 920 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,919 Speaker 1: the way financially. I haven't always been there the way 921 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: that I should have physically, but I wasn't always allowed 922 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: to be there like I could have been physically too. 923 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 3: But those are the sacrifices that you got to make 924 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 3: because it all depends on how successful are you trying 925 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 3: to be. It is hard because the gread of the goal, 926 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 3: the gread of the sacrifice needed to reach set goal. 927 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 1: And nobody talks about what it is to be in 928 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 1: this space. I appreciate people like Kevin Hart and others 929 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: who give candid interviews because you don't know, nobody prepares 930 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 1: you for what it is to fly to a city, 931 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: a bunch of people who to a city you've never 932 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: been to, a bunch of people paid, got dressed to 933 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: go enjoy what it is that you do. You enjoy 934 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 1: what you do, you love what you do. You take 935 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: that money home and you give it back to your 936 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: children and their mother for them to have a better life. 937 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: But you, but the children don't feel as close because 938 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: you're going to go on with this thing. Yeah, she 939 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: feels abandoned or feel like she's doing it on her own, 940 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 1: because even if you're doing it financially, you can't supplement time. No, 941 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: and when you're carrying a load financially, you don't want 942 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: to hear nobody talk about how you not doing your pop? 943 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: What you taking care of three households? Exactly, I'm not 944 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: doing my part. It's hard for you to you know, Yeah, 945 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: it's hard for you to see because time is the 946 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: most valuable commodity. It's the most valuable commodity. So then 947 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:22,280 Speaker 1: I ran into this thing where my daughter went from 948 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: I love my dad to let me see what I 949 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: can get out of here. And when she started looking 950 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 1: at me as access to material things, you are ATM 951 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:35,799 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you were a dad, You're 952 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 1: an ATM. Broke me, broke me because it was like, 953 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: I only want to be around him if I can 954 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: get something out of him. So let me ask you this. 955 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 1: Did you have that? Did you sit down and have 956 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: a conversation, how did you. 957 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 3: How did you come to the realization that it was, Yes, 958 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 3: this is my child, but my child only wants to 959 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 3: be around me because of what the access that she 960 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 3: has to things, her fume, jewelry, clothes, makeup, whatever the 961 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:02,799 Speaker 3: case may be. 962 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: Uh, it's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking because it's like it's heartbreaking 963 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: because it's like, my daughter saved my life. I'm not 964 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 1: a very motivated person. And when that we went and 965 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 1: got that ultra sound and they said it's a girl, 966 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 1: I knew I couldn't be a mediocre man anymore because 967 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:42,719 Speaker 1: it would affect how she viewed men in general. And 968 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,799 Speaker 1: then she's been okay with that, and she would be 969 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: okay with a mediocre man. And I worked harder than 970 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: I ever worked in my life because of her, Like 971 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 1: she's my reason and then for my reason, and she 972 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 1: was a daddy's girl, big time, big time. That's my oldest. Yeah, 973 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: she's my oldest. Yeah see. And to watch that daddy's 974 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 1: girl go from I just want to be around him. 975 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: I just want to touch him. I just want to 976 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: sleep on him, be culed up to him to if 977 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 1: he ain't buying me nothing, I really ain't trying to 978 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: go like I lost her and it takes a long 979 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: time to get them back. And so for me, that 980 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: was the one thing about this whole custody agreement that 981 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,399 Speaker 1: was like so important for me. It was like, while 982 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: we're going through what it is, and then she me 983 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: and their mother was talking and she was like, dag, 984 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: it's like you're trying to get so much time. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 985 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,399 Speaker 1: because that's all I that's all that matters because once 986 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 1: it's gone, Because once it's gone, it's gone.

It's cool. Just do 1203 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: they bring them on? This is the funny part. Your 1204 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: audience would love to see because they don't get this opportunity. 1205 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 1: They don't They don't know that. We get handed a 1206 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: packet and you have to go through all of that. Yeah, 1207 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 1: you have to study that. Yes, they would love to 1208 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: go through that experience with you because they don't have 1209 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 1: access to that. You would be giving them access to that. 1210 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 1: But and also it's my thing, like I don't know 1211 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: if Kyle was working that night because I kept saying 1212 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 1: like he was in the stream and he was walking around. 1213 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 1: Was he working? Did they hire him the stream or 1214 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 1: did they hire him the interview. Now, if he's on 1215 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 1: a spot and he's interviewing, right, that's it because there's 1216 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: two different streams he did, right, there's one like where 1217 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: he ran in the wallet and all of that stuff. 1218 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he was working. I think he was streaming. 1219 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,879 Speaker 1: So but if ever you have to hold a microphone 1220 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 1: and you need to talk to people, you gotta do. 1221 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 1: And if you don't know, it's fine. If you don't know, 1222 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,719 Speaker 1: but don't come in unprepared. There's no excuse to not Yeah. 1223 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 3: He probably he probably. They probably just had him there 1224 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 3: because of his name. Yeah, eyeballs, that was gonna that 1225 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 3: follows him. Yeah, because because that's what it is. But 1226 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,599 Speaker 3: when I go to an event, especially you know, if 1227 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 3: I do my job, is like who's gonna be here? 1228 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 3: Because when I see that person, hey, I'm touching. So 1229 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 3: I always identify myself. Hey, I'm shying a shop. I 1230 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,439 Speaker 3: know who you are. But I'm not arrogant enough to 1231 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,920 Speaker 3: believe that everybody does. But I'm I'm the type of 1232 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,519 Speaker 3: person that, hey, how you doing such and so forth 1233 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 3: and song. 1234 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,639 Speaker 1: Because that's just why you laughing, because it's some spaces 1235 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: people laugh at me for introducing myself, But I always 1236 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: introduce myself, always, always, every time. Once they told me 1237 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Beyonce introduced herself, I will always introduce myself. You ain't 1238 01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna get I'm not gonna give nobody the opportunity to 1239 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 1: play like be on some you know who I am, 1240 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 1: They gonna go to the back of the line.

I'll go to the back 1242 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 1: of the line and get to the front, and y'all go, 1243 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,120 Speaker 1: why'd you wait? Line?

I don't even want to deal with 1246 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:46,519 Speaker 1: the embarrassment you. 1247 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 3: Mentioned early Drewski calls him backlash he dressed up in 1248 01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 3: white face. And if they're a line that comics shouldn't cross, 1249 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,759 Speaker 3: or how far is there a line that Ryan wouldn't cross? 1250 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:07,559 Speaker 1: For me, research is the most important thing when you're 1251 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 1: doing something. You got to research who it's going to 1252 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: hurt and why it's going to hurt them, and then 1253 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: you make a decision on how you go about it, 1254 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 1: because you can still go about it and do it 1255 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,760 Speaker 1: in a way that that group of people appreciate it, 1256 01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 1: and if you can do it in a way that 1257 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: the people who it would normally offend appreciates it, then 1258 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:39,560 Speaker 1: you've done it correctly. So I defend comedy over everything. 1259 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm more of a comedian than I am a person. 1260 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm working on that, yeah, because somebody will be like, 1261 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 1: you hear what that comedian said. I'd be like, I 1262 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 1: heard it, it was funny, that's pretty good. They're like, 1263 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:59,280 Speaker 1: it hurt a bunch of people yeah, I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1264 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,680 Speaker 1: but did you see what he did the way he 1265 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,519 Speaker 1: flipped it? Yeah, that was skill. That was skill. Is 1266 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 1: it a line? Is there is? 1267 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 3: Have you gotten to the point there? There's a line, 1268 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 3: there's a joke that you won't tell. There's a line 1269 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 3: that you won't cross. 1270 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 1: You don't talk about people's kids. Okay, you don't talk 1271 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 1: about people's kids. You don't talk about people's kids, you 1272 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,519 Speaker 1: try and don't talk about their parents either, unless the 1273 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,760 Speaker 1: parents involve themselves and then we're all adults. But leave 1274 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 1: people families out of stuff. You don't bring up Like 1275 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure one day I'll get to the pinnacle of 1276 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 1: my career and people be like RN, you remember when 1277 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: you said that, And I'll go, yep, I was a 1278 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: very stupid person back then. I was a very immature 1279 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 1: and stupid person. You know. Also give people the opportunity, 1280 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,000 Speaker 1: like like when we were talking about Kyle, also give 1281 01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,479 Speaker 1: people an opportunity to grow.

They see the interview where I say, we 1301 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,599 Speaker 1: don't talk much because of that, and then I'll talk 1302 01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 1: about what she's been through. No one ever goes the 1303 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 1: reason he's discussing what she's been through, because he understands 1304 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 1: it's because of what she's been through that he doesn't 1305 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,559 Speaker 1: hold it against them. Because people will view your life 1306 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:24,320 Speaker 1: through their trauma lands, and I'm learning that being a 1307 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:30,080 Speaker 1: public figure, that once you say something and you allow 1308 01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,000 Speaker 1: yourself to be seen that way, they're going to have 1309 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 1: a pinion. There have opinion of it. And that's why 1310 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,400 Speaker 1: I never did it before, right, you know, I never 1311 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: did it before. Charlie Murphy actually told me that. I 1312 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 1: was sitting with him. Amazing guy, but he said Eddie 1313 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 1: told him that. He said, once you talk about your life, 1314 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: you give people the license to comment on it. So 1315 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 1: he said, Eddie didn't talk about his life, and that's 1316 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,400 Speaker 1: why he don't talk about his life. And he was like, 1317 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk about your life, be ready for 1318 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 1: what comes with that. He taught me that over a 1319 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 1: decade ago. And he didn't even know who I was. 1320 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 1: He didn't even know. He was just casual conversation. It's interesting. 1321 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:20,120 Speaker 3: It's like people people post stuff and then when people comment, yeah, 1322 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 3: where you posted it? 1323 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And and people have to understand most people 1324 01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,719 Speaker 1: are dumb. So whenever you post something, there are people 1325 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 1: who are dedicated to misunderstanding what it is that you're 1326 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: people looking to be upset about something, they are dedicated 1327 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 1: to this understandable. They have no desire to get what 1328 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: you mean, when did this happen? When? 1329 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:49,720 Speaker 3: When did when did me going to the store offend you? 1330 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,560 Speaker 3: Upset you? Or look at it? 1331 01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:53,800 Speaker 1: He going there, he going in the whole foods paed 1332 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,559 Speaker 1: all that money, he could get the same stuff. What 1333 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 1: do you mean? How dare you carry your dog and 1334 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,559 Speaker 1: wear a sweatsuit? Shand what's wrong with you not me 1335 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 1: have a dog? Okay? 1336 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 3: When I was a kid, my grandparents, we didn't allow 1337 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,280 Speaker 3: dogs in the house. I'm not a kid anymore. It's 1338 01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 3: my house. I allow dogs in the house. I allow 1339 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 3: my dog to sleep on the bed we didn't allow 1340 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 3: Obviously the dog wasn't in the house, he wasn't in 1341 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 3: the kitchen. Okay, I have dogs. It's my first of all, 1342 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 3: it's my house, it's my kitchen. And what do you 1343 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 3: think the likelihood was that you were ever gonna be 1344 01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 3: in my house at my kitchen to say, oh, this 1345 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 3: is terrible, this is nast. 1346 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 1: But this is what they'll say. I wouldn't there, eat 1347 01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 1: off the plates. You would never gonna be here, you 1348 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,719 Speaker 1: would never go be here. And I forget what it's called. 1349 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 1: It's a par of social relationship. Okay, that's what it is. 1350 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 1: Everybody feels like they're attached to people. I ain't gonna lie. 1351 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,600 Speaker 1: I dealt with it too. I'm a huge fan of yours. 1352 01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 1: So the live incident, yeah, I was so mad at you. 1353 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: I was mad at me. I was so mad at you. 1354 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 1: And then my my best friend Austin had to pull 1355 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,800 Speaker 1: me to the side and be like, they just ain't 1356 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: got nothing to do with you. It's ain't got nothing 1357 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 1: to do. I was like, yeah, man, but tag shit. Man. 1358 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 1: He was like, man, you do not know that. Man, 1359 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: you do not know that man, because you at turn 1360 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 1: you started doing the T shirt thing. I was like, 1361 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,120 Speaker 1: he monetizes and with it. 1362 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 3: I think the thing is that you tried so hard 1363 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 3: to be perfect. And I remember having a conversation with 1364 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,960 Speaker 3: my sister. She's like, Shanna, you tried your whole life 1365 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,599 Speaker 3: to be perfect, and you once you realize that you're 1366 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,679 Speaker 3: not perfect and you're never gonna be perfect, you're gonna 1367 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 3: be okay. Yeah, it's hard because you study, you want 1368 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 3: to be the best football player. 1369 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: You want to be perfect. 1370 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 3: You didn't want to drop any passes, you didn't want 1371 01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 3: to miss make any mistakes, you didn't want to miss 1372 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,320 Speaker 3: any blocks. You wanted to be on time, and I 1373 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 3: did everything I possibly could. I've done everything in my 1374 01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:01,640 Speaker 3: life to try to be perfect, only to realize that 1375 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,799 Speaker 3: I'm never gonna be perfect and I'm gonna flawed individual. 1376 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 1: That's crazy. You ain't even know how much I needed 1377 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 1: that when you just said that. 1378 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,840 Speaker 3: That's what. That's what. That's the hardest part about this 1379 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 3: life because over the last three to four years, more 1380 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 3: people know who I am. In the last three to 1381 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 3: four years that know me and my whole fourteen year 1382 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 3: NFL career. 1383 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: And you're arguably the best to ever play your position, 1384 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 1: and people and people Ryan, people don't even know a 1385 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:30,880 Speaker 1: lot of people don't when they meet me, they don't 1386 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,559 Speaker 1: even know have no idea that I played football. They 1387 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: would ask like, how do you know so much about sports? 1388 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:39,439 Speaker 1: And like I studied you just I mean, geez, it's 1389 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 1: so crazy. I was like, I point to it, like 1390 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 1: you see this position, you're gonna play it. There ain't 1391 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 1: three people in the world done it better than this guy. Yeah, man, 1392 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,639 Speaker 1: And they don't know it. They don't they don't know it, 1393 01:18:54,680 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: but they know Lakers and five. That's so it's yeah, 1394 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 1: it's it's man. This is just navigating this space is 1395 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: the the parasocial relationships is the thing, and and I 1396 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 1: pray my fans don't do that. I want y'all to 1397 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 1: take this journey with me. I want people to become 1398 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 1: fans of mine. I want people to be elated when 1399 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 1: they see me win. I want people to not be 1400 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:25,760 Speaker 1: okay with seeing me fall. But I don't want them 1401 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:31,200 Speaker 1: to believe that that you get to half a say 1402 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:36,080 Speaker 1: in how I lived my life. Don't do that, you 1403 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean? They do they do because they're 1404 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,679 Speaker 1: so invested. They're so invested. 1405 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 3: That's why the streamers do so well, because people get 1406 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 3: an opportunity to see man, he just he goes. 1407 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,559 Speaker 1: Oh he going to the refrigerator. Oh he playing a game, 1408 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Oh he on the phone. It killed faith, though it 1409 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: killed fame. I missed the days where I knew nothing 1410 01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: about the people. You know what I me? 1411 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 3: I mean, the really the real, real famous. You still 1412 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 3: don't know a whole lot about Beyonce. You don't you 1413 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,679 Speaker 3: know about it. You don't know a whole lot about 1414 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,000 Speaker 3: who the Lebron or Denzel or Oprah. 1415 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:12,640 Speaker 1: You don't know a whole lot. But you see how 1416 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 1: much bigger they are than everywhere. Because that is it's 1417 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: so important. But the reason I share stuff, and like 1418 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 1: I said, this is the most candid I've ever been. 1419 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 1: I don't there's a lot of people gonna watch. It's 1420 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 1: like God, I didn't know. Because also within my comedy, 1421 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 1: somebody else goes through this and they may just need 1422 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 1: to hear this. It might be the I might say 1423 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: the thing that clicks to them that changes everything around 1424 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:50,360 Speaker 1: for them. And if I got to take some type 1425 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:55,960 Speaker 1: of bullet or criticism or whatever, but I helped somebody, 1426 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: then I think that's what God put me here to do, 1427 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,920 Speaker 1: and to give people some type of levity in their 1428 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,439 Speaker 1: life doing that, you know what I mean. I had 1429 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 1: a moment where everything clicked for me. Like I talk 1430 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: about my boy t Springs me and him in for instance, 1431 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 1: I was four, He's men my right hand. Like I 1432 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 1: was doing comedy. I was trying to make it and 1433 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,760 Speaker 1: he the comedy Zonning Charlotte had their own podcasts and 1434 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:28,240 Speaker 1: it was a guy named Will Jacobs that used to 1435 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 1: do it, but he was out of town working and 1436 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 1: they were like, Ryan, we need you to do the podcast. 1437 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 1: They would do interviews or whoever was coming to perform 1438 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 1: there that weekend and I was a pharmacy tech of 1439 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 1: technician and I had to be at work in the 1440 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: morning and I said, nah, I can't do it. And 1441 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:51,000 Speaker 1: it was John Witherspoon. I had opportunity to interview John 1442 01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:55,440 Speaker 1: Witherspoon before he passed, and you know what John Witherspoon 1443 01:21:55,560 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 1: meanstyle community pops pops. It would have been everything. And 1444 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 1: I put work before it. And I was at work 1445 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,679 Speaker 1: and I was just like, eh, you know, slinging pills whatever. 1446 01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: You know. Team was like, what's wrong with you? I 1447 01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:13,720 Speaker 1: told him what happened. He said, hey, do you want 1448 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 1: to be employee of the month or a comedian? I 1449 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:24,360 Speaker 1: never worked again the day you live. I literally walked 1450 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 1: out that day because but you need somebody to say 1451 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 1: the thing that at knights the thing in you. And so, 1452 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 1: no matter what anybody thinks about me, I want to 1453 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 1: be the person to ignite that thing in somebody that 1454 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: makes somebody their whole. Because Kevin Hart also did it 1455 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:47,200 Speaker 1: for me. 1456 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 3: You said that you've given flowers to Kevin. A lot 1457 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,720 Speaker 3: of people do that. Kevin was the reason why you 1458 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 3: started stand up. 1459 01:22:55,960 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: I didn't even ever think about doing stand up ever. 1460 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 3: So did you did you see him on stage. Did 1461 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 3: you watch one of his specials?
