00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: So take me back to what was going on in

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: the era of ramen and egg.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: Rawmen and egg started off, or when I was in college.

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: I went to Eastern Michigan University, Okay, and you know

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: back in the day, you just bad a budgeting money. Yeah,

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: and then also rawmen noodles was popular. Just it was

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: like the era of Roman noodles for us, you think.

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: So, I feel like everyone at some point has the era.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: When you go through the phase of ramen noodles, you've

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: come up with every hack on how to make it

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: creatively your own ramen noodle.

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And I feel like back when I was

38
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: eating it in college that was two thousand and five

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: to two thousand and eight, I was eating ramen noodles.

40
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: It was it was it was a trendy. It was trendy.

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: Everybody was eating ramen noodles. We didn't care about nutritional facts.

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: See all of that vegan stuff and that's new stuff.

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't.

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Understand that being vegan and vegetarian. You heard of people

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: that did it. But back in the day, if somebody

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: was vegan, you was like, oh, they just gay.

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm just.

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: Joking, but but it just wasn't popular.

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 3: So now back in the day, people just ate ramen

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: noodles and stuff like that. And it was just like

51
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: the thing you went to when you were in college, boy,

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: because what happened is that you would get your college

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: card and on that card, once you run up that money,

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: you had to learn how to survive past that. Because

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: when you first get your money, you going, you eating

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: that pizza, You going to Buffalo Wild Wings, you getting, oh,

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: you want some wings?

00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: I get get fifty wings on my car.

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: And then it comes three four months later you realize

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: you swiped that card and it's like decline, You like,

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: let me go on over to the store and get

Speaker 3: some raw men nodles exactly.

63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I still I hate to admit this, but I make

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: jokes with my girlfriends. I'm like, you catch me at

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: nothing yet, go nowhere. By the end that count was solo.

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: But did you know when you were in college that

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,160

Speaker 3: and I stayed with my dad for a while for

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: some years, and then I went to go live with

104
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: my mother. As I got a little older, because my

105

Speaker 3: and my dad was responsible enough to keep me, you know,

128
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: because my dad was there to take me to school,

129

Speaker 3: Yeah, I was on the golf team in high school.

135
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: A lot of people would never know these things about me.

136
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, I came from a family of love too.

137
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that until I became an adult and

138
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: realized being around other people. Is that a lot of people,

139
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: not a lot of people, but some people are raised

140
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: up on survival. And when you raised up with parents

141
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,920

Speaker 3: you know, college will never go anywhere. He said, It'll

160
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: still be there. Said, if you go out there for

161
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: a year or two and don't like it, I'll still

162
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: be here. You can always come back, he said. But

163
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: what happens if you stay here end up meeting somebody

164
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: having kids, and you just getting farther and farther away

165
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: from your dreams. And my mom's supportive. You know, I've

166
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: never been the type to make bad decisions or be

167
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: like a child that you had to worry about a lot.

168
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: So when I say I want to do something and

169
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: my family rallies around it. So when I moved to

170
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: la I moved with my grandmother in Inglewood. She had

171
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: a two bedroom. My little cousin had just went back

172
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: to go live with her mama. So my grandma said,

173
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: it's a twin size bed in there, and she said,

174
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: you just need to get a little TV. So I

175
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: got a little TV, moved in with her and her

176
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: husband Inglewood.

177
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that made your parents feel a lot

178
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: more better about you.

179
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I wasn't here by myself. My mother said

180
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: she was glad I wasn't by myself. So being in

181
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: I'm going back to her home, you know, California, I'm

182
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: not by myself. So I don't know if I could

183
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: have moved to California just by myself.

184
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Well, you were still how old were you that night?

185
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: Twenty When I moved here, I was twenty one and

186
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: I moved with ten thousand dollars?

187
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: Wow?

188
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

189
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

190
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: I was working at the casino in Englewood.

191
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: No, I was working at the casino in Florida in

192
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: Coconut Creek, and it was a casino there, and this

193
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: older Jewish guy used to come in there and he

194
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: would give me five hundred dollars for a cup of coffee. Oh,

195
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: just to talk to him for a few minutes, just

196
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: regular conversation. It was a lot of regulars in there

197
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: that were wealthy people, and they would they had certain

198
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: girls that they liked and just wanted the company, you know.

199
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: But this man was about in his fifties and he

200
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: would just give me five hundred dollars for a cup

201
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,479
Speaker 3: of coffee. In three weeks, I say, five thousand dollars.

202
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

203
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 2: And then I was just like I had a little

00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 2: extra other money.

205
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: Somebody here, you were already good with money. You make

206
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: this move and you decide you want to get into

209
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,240

Speaker 1: So you're out here? What springs the ten month? Oh

232
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, I have an epiphany. This is what I

233
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: want to do. What happens?

234
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: So it was my ex boyfriend.

235
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: So my boyfriend in college was like, hey, I have

236
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: a friend out there, LeVar. He said, why don't you

237
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: connect with him? Is somebody else we knew in college

238
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: but they were a little bit older than me.

239
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: So I hit up LeVar.

240
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: LeVar was a school teacher out here, and I would

241
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: hang out with LeVar and LeVar had a friend, and

242
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: it wasn't all the time, but it was just somebody I.

243
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: Could hang out with.

244
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: Have a friend out here, buddy, you know, very safe,

245
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: not trying to hit on me or try to you

246
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: know whatever, just that he's looking out for his friend's friend,

247
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: right because that's my ex boyfriend, but looking out for me.

248
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: So he had a friend that came over there, this

249
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: guy named Elijah that was from Detroit as well, or

250
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: probably Ohio one of those states. I'm not for sure,

251
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: because when you go to college in Michigan, it could

252
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: be people from anywhere in that Midwest area. So you know,

253
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: Elijah was coming over and he was doing a Brager

254
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: show and the Bringer show.

255
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: Acting.

256
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 3: When you first started comedy, you do a lot of

257
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: breaker shows. That's where you have to bring ten ten

258
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: people to get stage time. So I was like, yeah,

259
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: that's for me. That looked good, you know. I said,

260
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: can I go up? He said yeah, if you can

261
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 3: bring some people here, you go up. I said, all right,

262
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 3: and I gathered my My grandmother used to come to

263
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: all my shows. She's eighty now, so that had to

264
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: be she had to be like in her sixties.

265
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: She would come with her little my girlma got to shake.

266
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, she come with her wig child and she'll

267
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: sit in the front row get roasted. And but she

268
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: she was as long as I pay for a little

269
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 3: two drank minimums. She give her a little two SIPs

270
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: of drinks and she'll be fine, and she would come

271
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: to the shows. That was one person down, so I

272
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: had to get other people, you know. But you know,

273
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 3: I just started from there and I did comedy for

274
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: maybe like a year and a half, and then after

275
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: that I quit for I think about two years, maybe.

276
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: Two to three years. Why did you quit because it

277
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: was tough.

278
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: I think, especially like being a female comic, when you

279
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: first get started, it can be a little rough in

280
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: the man's world, and then you're kind of dealing with

281
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: low tier comedians when you first get started, like people

282
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: who have no common courtesy and respect, think they can

283
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: say whatever the people or joke any type of way.

284
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: I think that as you go up in the game,

285
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: you develop a little more hopefully professionalism.

286
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying.

287
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now you're spending times in the bars, the bars,

288
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: the bars, the bars, that's where you're gonna do stand

289
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: up at when you first get started. Then you develop

290
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: to the clubs. With the clubs, the clubs have certain

291
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: type of people get etiquette, people get a little more

292
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: a little more professional. People can still be unprofessional at

293
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: every level. But the more you move up, hopefully the

294
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: more professionalism, and I think the funnier you get, the

295
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: more you get with.

296
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: People just respect.

297
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, did you have to deal with, like, I know,

298
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: different aspects of the industry women have to deal with,

299
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: like guys constantly trying to get with them and all that.

300
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: Did you have to deal with a lot of that?

301
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I deal with a little bit of it, but

302
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: you know, I can.

303
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: I had a boyfriend ex boyfriend, like he'll fight anybody.

304
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: But you know, but you also don't want to be

305
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: known as a person that's going around starting ship. But

306
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: it's just some people that could be really on some bullshit.

307
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: It's a lot of lower back touching, long creepy hugs.

308
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: It's like, yo, chill out, brot high.

309
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, come up from it.

310
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Don't do that from a distance.

311
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: I think you guys were messing around just from the distance,

312
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: and people don't understand how things look in.

313
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: The distance, right.

314
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: It even feels sometimes inappropriate while you in the in

315
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: the moment, but even from the distance, it looks like

316
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: people are putting claims on you.

317
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 2: And I didn't like that.

318
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't like that. We may have to check

319
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: on the ramen before it becomes mashed potato.

320
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: Sound like you cook?

321
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I do cook. I'm like, yo, that ramen is definitely

322
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be muss. You may want to turn it off, you.

323
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Know what, I'm gonna turn it down because it's still

324
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, you got to change it up.

325
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: I think how often do you cook?

326
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: Probably like three four times a year.

327
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,520

00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: But that's it's nowadays. It's a lot.

331
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,160

339
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: I eat the same thing all the time, so I

342
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: BoA's expensive three.

343
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: Hundred dollars I spent there and then last night I

00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: You're hilarious. My only vice is expensive cars, oh for real?

348
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: But how I literally know? I just switch up like

349
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: every two or three years. I'm not one of those

350
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: people that own multiple cars at one time, but you know,

351
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: if my bank account grows up, don't ever think I

352
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: won't be that girl that has the Lamborghini yours and

353
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, escalate or something. I have to have an

354
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: expensive one car. It's just my cars. I can't do

355
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: like it doesn't make any sense. But like I would

356
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: never do like a Ford or Toyota, Honda, I don't

357
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: care how sexy those cars look. At times they put

358
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: out some sexy cars, I'll be like, what is it

359
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: is a Honda? No, no, sorry, and I don't care.

360
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: And they've been improving their looks. Nissan at one point

361
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: had some nice looking cars. I said, but it's a Nissan,

362
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: so no thank you.

363
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: See.

364
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: I like to be like, okay, what can I afford here? Okay,

365
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: I can afford that, go down the level?

366
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: No see, And I always do the top of the model.

367
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Like when I got my new car, I called them

368
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: and I said, where's the massagers in this? In the

369
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: the car seat had massages and the massagers weren't massaging.

370
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: And the guys were like, well, when you ordered it,

371
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: it didn't have it on the order, And I said, bullshit.

372
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: This is the top model. And I was like, is

373
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: there a topper model than this? And they're like no,

374
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, so then the massagers go in

375
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: the seats. Nonetheless, I am that person like it has

376
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: to be the time.

377
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: I just have to have seat warmers.

378
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I also have to have the steering reel warmer.

379
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: I also have to have the little alert on the mirrors,

380
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: the little you know, blind side alert.

381
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: Do you like the thing where they put the speed

382
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: of the car in the windshield?

383
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't.

384
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: I hate it.

385
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

386
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Even if it is on my car, I would take

387
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: it off.

388
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like that. I also don't like the

389
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: lane control. I don't like that. I always turn that off.

390
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Some features are too much.

391
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: Even though you could turn that off, you can.

392
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: Yes, sometimes I've almost got an accident because I don't

393
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: hate well in case progressive it's watching. It's always used

394
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: by signal, but if you don't use your signal for

395
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: the people out there who don't use their signal that

396
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: I've driven in the car with that was the passenger. Yeah,

397
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't like how the car would jerk you back

398
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: into your lane. I've already made a decision. Bro, we ride,

399
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: you don't drive me.

400
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: I drive you.

401
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: No, you could definitely tout it off. Anytime I feel

402
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: my car do that, I'm like, I'm someone must have

403
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,639

00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: ultimate get off my car thing.

405
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 3: In New York, people ran into the back of my

406
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: car a total of four times.

407
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: No, they just riding. They always trying.

408
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: To get too close to you. Okay, my twin, I

409
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: don't know. My twin has like, yes, I have a

410
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: fraternal oh yeah, so, but my twin in the last

411
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: year has gotten in quite a couple of accidents, and

412
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm starting to.

413
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: Think I accident.

414
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it because she's never the causer. But

415
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, girl, like, what's going on? Like do they

416
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: need to put like, you know, orange caution around your car?

417
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't understand how sound I definitely, I just don't

418
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: get it. So anyways, going back to what made you

419
00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: actually take the step back, Uh, just.

420
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: Just it was somebody I was a manager I wanted

421
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: to sign when he was like, well, have you ever

422
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: thought about stand up? Because I swear back in the day,

423
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: when you were an actor and people would see you,

424
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: they'd be like, well, do you know, stand up seems

425
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: like a faster track into acting. And so I tried

426
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: that and I got ended up getting back into it

427
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: and just just building some thicker skin.

428
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: And were you working jobs while you were doing comedy?

429
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: I would say.

430
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: When I first moved here, I immediately joined sag After

431
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: within the first month.

432
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: And then I was.

433
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: Well, I thought you have to earn it.

434
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: You know, back in the day you could just buy

435
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: your way into After.

436
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: Oh okay, So I immediately joined after within the first month.

437
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 3: So I would do background on sets. And when you

438
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: were background on the set, if you were after, you

439
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: made a minimum of twenty dollars an hour.

440
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: So I would do that.

441
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: And it's like when I first within the first year

442
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: I came out here, I had built myself up by

443
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: the end of the year to like, you know, four

444
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: or five thousand a months just in background working. Because

445
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: back in the day, you know, years before the pandemic,

446
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: you would be on set for twelve hours, maybe sixteen hours,

447
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: and once it was over eight hours, it went into

448
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: time and a half. And then after twelve hours of

449
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: winning to double So we would be on set all day,

450
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: just sitting around, talking whatever, playing cards, reading books, being

451
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: on your phone. Then you go on set and you

452
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: work a little bit, you come back and then I

453
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: got into the commercial world, and commercials were paying like

454
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: three twenty three for eight hours, and then you would

455
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: get the overtime and all the smoke bumps and stuff,

456
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: so it paid up. And so how I ended up

457
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: becoming SAG is because SAG you had to get three

458
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: vouchers to get into that, and I ended up being

459
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: an extra on House.

460
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember that show.

461
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: First.

462
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved House.

463
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Shoutouts.

464
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: House was so good that show, Yeah, okay, And the

465
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: guy asked me the ad was like, hey, are you

466
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: are you SAG?

467
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: I said no.

468
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: He said I'll bring you back every day until you are,

469
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: and he gave me three vouchers and then I joined

470
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: SAG because I had the money, and so yeah, I

471
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 3: would just always earn money back and forth. With that,

472
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: and that was for maybe like the first I would say,

473
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: three and a half years.

474
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: And then you're also doing you after you get through

475
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: the sag after and you get fired from is it

476
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: House Central Casting? Central?

477
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

478
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: Central Casting?

479
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: And yet you know that that's the mecca out in

480
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Los Angeles.

481
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: A baby can fire you.

482
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was submits you for jobs, so

483
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: they can just tell you they're no longer submitted.

484
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: But I believe Tiffany Haatis got fired from there, too,

485
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 2: didn't she.

486
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

487
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: So I was like, it could be a good thing

488
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 3: that they fire in certain people. They fire Brad Pitt too,

489
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken.

490
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: If that's the case.

491
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: Stars that they got rid of, and it's just like, yeah.

492
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: Well that's good. So you get let go and you

493
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: see it as a blessing in disguise, Yeah, of course,

494
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: and then what's your next move?

495
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: Next move is say, you know what, I'm going to

496
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: Vegas work the casinos during the summer, come back, and

497
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: now I have money to actually I started back doing

498
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: stand up, so now I have money to actually be

499
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: able to submit to like colleges and stuff. Because when

500
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: you do colleges, you go there and you perform in

501
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: front of the students, but you have to pay you

502
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: how to get your flight, your hotel, and then it's

503
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: like a little small fee or whatever to actually showcase.

504
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: I didn't I thought the colleges paid, you pay the college.

505
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: No, the colleges pay you once you get the gig.

506
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: But they have showcases. It's called you know, I can't

507
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: remember what it's called, Naka Naka.

508
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: That's what you do, the showcase and then the pick

509
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: and then they start.

510
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: So it's a feat to do the showcase, and then

511
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: colleges from all over are there, depending on the region.

512
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: So if you make it into Naka Naka Midwest, then

513
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: all the Midwest colleges will be there and you perform

514
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: in front of the showcase and then the college you

515
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: booked you. So then I started doing that and then

516
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen I called my mom.

517
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: She said, what you got going on? I said, you know,

518
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. She was like, do you have a

519
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: plan B. I said no, I don't have no plan B.

520
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: This's it.

521
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 3: This gotta work. We all in I like. She said, okay,

522
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: well you got to be more aggressive.

523
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I said.

524
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, she said, she said, I know you you timid.

525
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: You not talking to people, you're not networking whatever. So

526
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm at the laugh Factory Ian Wass Cat Williams. Oh good, yeah.

527
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: And so he was up he was upstairs, and it's

528
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: this guy who was on the road with him, Big Wheezy.

529
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: Big Wheezy is probably six hundred pounds.

530
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: Oh big, he's big.

531
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: He got the stairs and it was like no way

532
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: to get around him. But I found this tiniest spot

533
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: and squeezed around him because he always make jokes of

534
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 3: this story because his big ass walking upstairs, taking up

535
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: the whole steps in the back of the Laugh Factory,

536
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: going up the steps, there wasn't no two people. Two

537
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: people could normally go up and down there. Not with

538
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: Big Wheezy.

539
00:22:59,440 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: It's just him.

540
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: So he going up the steps and I find a

541
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: little spot, squeeze in front of him, run over the cass,

542
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: like hey can I can I get some shows on

Speaker 3: Devin Franklin and I went recently and he said something

592
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: that really stuck with me. He said, most of us

593
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: are sitting on yess, but we're too afraid to ask.

594
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: I agree, And I'm one of those type of people.

595
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't ask people for help. If you offer me help,

596
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: I'll take it. Or if you offer me an opportunity,

597
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: I would love it, but I'm not gonna be like, hey,

598
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 3: what up man, just checking in what you're seeing, what

599
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: you got like.

600
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: I don't do that. But I know people that do

601
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: that and their career be moving.

602
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

603
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 3: So because I'm not like that, It's just like, am

604
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: I missing out on certain things because I don't ask

605
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: such and such can I get on this show? I

606
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: just truly work off of just being talented enough to

607
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: where people see me.

608
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: And then think of it.

609
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

610
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. My dad growing up, he used to always do

611
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: this thing. He used to get on my nerves as

612
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: a kid. He'd always be like, if like, say we

613
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: want a candy or something, We'd be like, oh, we

614
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: want to ask you something, be like ask you never

615
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna say no, then we'd always ask it.

616
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: Of course he'd always say no and be like, man,

617
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: this is stupid. But as I got older, I started

618
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: to say, like, I never take no from people that

619
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to say yes. That's like something

620
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: I stand on. So like the other day, I wanted

621
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Noah and I knew someone that knew him and

622
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: I sent I was like, hey, man, he's in town.

623
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: His publicist is blocking. No disrespect to his publicists, you know.

624
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, just I just need the proposal

625
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: in front of him to say yes, yes, that's it.

626
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: And if you're not comfortable doing it. It's cool, but

627
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: I just need him to be the one to say no,

628
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I can have his publicist, canvas, manager, canvas homie. It

629
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: needs to be him otherwise no, It's like, Okay, maybe

630
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going through you, you know. But whenever I

631
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: feel like someone doesn't put that, And that's another thing

632
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: I think people also need to consider is like sometimes

633
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: when you have managers and agents, they say some managers

634
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: and exactly that happens a lot. It happens a lot

635
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: more than you think. So whenever I see like a

636
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are always shooting for the top publicist

637
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: that reps everybody, or the top manager that reps everybody,

638
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: you guys are all signed to that same person. I'll

639
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: tell you right now. There was recently someone that we

640
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: wanted on the show. The didn't put it in front

641
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: of him went direct. He was like, hell, yeah see

642
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: see yeah, but go back to your story.

643
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

644
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: But so you know, I just did that, and you

645
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 3: just constantly just keep going, keep going. How I just

646
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: success out here because people, you know, the haters in

647
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 3: the comments be like, you ain't this, you ain't that,

648
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: But I just success? Is am I doing better this

649
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: year than I did last year? Did I accomplish more

650
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: goals and more things this year that I set forth

651
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: than I did last year? And if I'm doing that,

652
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: then I'm doing good.

653
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: So you do like a comparison to your previous year.

654
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: I write down, like I like to write down all

655
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: my goals for the year, and then I like to

656
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: write down at the top of the your also write

657
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: down all the things I achieved for the previous year.

658
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: I like that because that teaches you just to be grateful.

659
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: Sometimes when we in it, it feel like you're going stagnant.

660
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: But you ever had somebody be like, yo, your podcast

661
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: killing it?

662
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: But then you be like, yo, it don't feel that way.

663
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: It don't feel like that way in the moment, like

664
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: it's like shut up, are you?

665
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you trying to play with me because

666
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: I'm talking to be like no.

667
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: I used to work with Nick Cannon, and he used

668
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: to always tell me, like, take time to take it

669
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: all in, Like you're running, you're running, but you're not

670
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: taking time to take it in.

671
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: We living for the future to pass.

672
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: Most of us are not. We're not. And it got

673
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: to a point where I would get so depressed over like, oh,

674
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I fucked up here or I messed up here, and

675
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: my dad would say, like, Okay, that's it. You're gonna

676
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: start having to hang this stuff on your walls, like

677
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: you gotta go. This is what you call hang that

678
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: ship on the wall. And I started putting up like

679
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: posters in my house. And now I have, like I

680
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: call it the hall of fame of just shit that

681
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: I accomplished, and I put on the walls grants and

682
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: now I'm like, go, someone, that ship's old. That shit

683
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: need to come down.

684
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we got we got better goals.

685
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is I like that

686
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: because I do goal boards every year, but I've never

687
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: thought about putting the stuff that I previously accomplished. I

688
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: like taking a picture and go, damn, okay, that was

689
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: on the list. I didn't realize that, you.

690
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: Know, But but I think, don't even realize that you

691
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: accomplished so much.

692
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really don't, especially if you're a go getter

693
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: and you're consistently moving that goal post. That's a great

694
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: way to do it. So after you've accomplished like winning

695
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: the festival festal, now you're doing these tour dates. You

696
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: do the Cat Williams thing, what's the next play?

697
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: The next play was okay, so years ago, this had

698
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: to be two thousand and twelve, And.

699
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: I want everybody to pay attention to how much time

700
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: and consistency his story is taking twenty twelve.

701
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: I used to And you know what I love about

702
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: this city is you can meet some time hearted people

703
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: that will make you feel comfortable.

704
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: I love people who don't chase you away from your dreams.

705
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: And I say that because you could be in situations

706
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: that make you not feel good, and it can kind

707
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: of deter you from achieving your goals because you revert

708
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: to this depressed person or this hermit or whatever, and

709
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: it pushes you farther away from your dreams. But shout

00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: all the auditions is self tape now you no longer

787
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: have to be here to audition.

788
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

789
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: I just had an audition today and it was just

790
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: self tape, and it's here, it's gonna shoot in LA.

791
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: So everything's self taped now, so you could basically live

792
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: anywhere else.

793
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know that.

794
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, only commercial auditions are still doing

795
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: some some of them are still in person. So so

796
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, cool, I thought about it.

797
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: So I hit Keith Robinson. I said, hey, man, what

798
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: do you think about me move? He's like, I think

799
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: you'll do good at out here, he said. I said,

800
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come visit first. So I went out there

801
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: in September. He got me an audition at the Comedy

802
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: Seller and st passed me.

803
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: Wow on the first one, on the first audition. Yeah,

804
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big feat for New York. Yes,

805
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: because I'm familiar with the New York landscape and the

806
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: Seller is one of the harder Yeah, like literally the

807
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: hardest club. Like I know Eagles in that circuit, Eagle

808
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: past every single club. The Seller was the last one.

809
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: It was my first.

810
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a huge accomplishment. Okay, So so he.

811
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: Got me the audition, st passed me in September. I

812
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: moved out there in November. Oh shoot, yeah, something happened.

813
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: I got a booking in with some good money. So

814
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: I was supposed to move November, be in my apartment

815
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: in November first, but I kind of ended up moving

816
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: towards like the middle or the end of November twenty

817
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: twenty one, and then I stayed out there for two years,

818
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 3: and then I moved back here in January Los Angeles

819
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: January twenty twenty four.

820
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: And you weren't just doing the October, No, you were

821
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: doing it all the different.

822
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: The Seller, the Stand, and New York Comedy Club with

823
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: my three main clubs, which you were doing really good.

824
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did.

825
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to be able to work those

826
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: top clubs like that.

827
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: And I also like this consistency is very, very prevalent

828
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: in your whole story. It's like you heard Chappelle say, hey,

829
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: you need to do two years you didn't play. You

830
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: were like, oh, you need to do two years there.

831
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: I was like, boom, the industry already set up for

832
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: me to do two years there. So that that works

833
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: because if I had to audition all the time, I

834
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 3: don't know if I would have just if the pandemic

835
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 3: didn't happen, I would have just moved out there and

836
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: then you just go dead for like two years of

837
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: auditioning and stuff.

838
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: But you know, I was like, all right, boom, everything's

839
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: a lining.

840
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: But now, but this is the end of COVID Because

841
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: New York was like Darth Vader during I remember.

842
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: Cold in November, but they still were having shown. But

843
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: this is twenty one or twenty two, well twenty one

844
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 2: November twenty twenty.

845
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: One, okay, okay, so you're out there basically, you know,

846
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 3: a year and a half outside of the actual first shutdown,

847
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: which this March twenty twenty, so it was still a

848
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 3: little like inching, but come twenty twenty two it started boom.

849
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three, it was no and then I left

850
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 2: January twenty.

851
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: So much respect to you for how serious you're taking this,

852
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: yeah dream like I mean, well it's not a dream

853
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: because it's happening. But I'm saying, like, I love how

854
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: driven you are in this whole story. You're yeah, like

855
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: you have to be made like there's no distractions, there's

856
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: no I see nothing but focus.

857
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: Thank you.

858
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,480

868
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: and you know, I talked to them. They gave me

869
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: options for a camera crew. She gave me options. She said,

870
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,839

874
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: What did you say?

875
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,840

00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,080

Speaker 2: Yeah, move back?

878
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I wanted to know. Why did

879
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: you feel it was so important for you to shoot

880
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: the special at the cellar?

881
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: I felt like it was just a great venue. And

882
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: also like to watch the trajectory of people around me.

883
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 3: That's what I look at.

884
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that?

885
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: Just I can map out sometimes off of IMDb, off

886
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: a social media post, I can map people's trajectory, so

887
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: like where their career kind of started to start to

888
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: get like a little leg up, and then where it

889
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: went fast.

890
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: Like the tipping point. Like you can you can see

891
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: the tipping point.

892
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: You can see the growth.

893
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: You can see like the beginning stages when they were

894
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: still looking raggedy, and then they went up and they

895
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 3: was able to get a.

896
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: Nice pair of shoes and one good suit.

897
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: And then you started to see that their videos started

898
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 3: to go viral here and then they put they shot

899
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: the special here.

900
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 2: So I'll watch other people how they move, you know.

901
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, you have to.

902
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: You have to be aware of everybody that is around you,

903
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 3: because I didn't know about entering comedy festivals until I

904
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 3: saw other comedians in comedy festivals posting their stuff like, hey, y'all,

905
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: I'm in this comedy festival posting it up. I got

906
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 3: accepted in on their uh Instagram, so I would write

907
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: down the comedy festival. I'll go to the website research it,

908
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: look at the date that they were taking submissions.

909
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: Be ready for the next year.

910
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: I love it.

911
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm watching everything.

912
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: You do well since you watched, and I'm about to

913
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: learn how we take what is this a hard boiled egg?

914
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have no salt though.

915
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: It's in the back. It's like you might not.

916
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: Season your food.

917
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: It's in the back. If you go in the back.

918
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: You know, when you walked in, you were all nice, Oh,

919
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: look how nice it is in that back kitchen.

920
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: This egg might be deformed. What happened to the front

921
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 2: half of it?

922
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

923
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: You done gave me all eggs.

924
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

925
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: If I.

926
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, I never do that, or maybe you

927
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: boil it the.

928
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: Way it could be because it was it was only

929
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: a small pot and it wasn't fully emerging water, so

930
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: the yolk kind of went to one side.

931
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we do we need salt because I could

932
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: call cup but I feel like ramen is already salty.

933
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Did you put all those seasoning packets in it? Just

934
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: too Yeah? Yeah, nah, that's salty. That's salty. I don't

935
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: season my food. So when I go in your house,

936
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: if I were to go in your fridge right now, you.

937

00:38:59,520 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: why I'm over.

939
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: You're talking, but I'm saying, like when you go in

940
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: your if I was like, hey, I'm gonna swing by

941
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,359

00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: So you are going and a lot of green juices?

945
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: Why because you know what you mean?

946
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: You buy the document.

947
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: It's like the average person isn't getting enough vegetable intakes

948
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: because even when we do eat vegetables nowadays, we're putting

949
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 3: so much salt and seasoning and boiling them all the way,

950
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: he says, So it's better. It's really good to juice.

951
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: So then I just buy the juices instead of using

952
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: my juice machine.

953
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: Where do you buy your juices at?

954
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 3: I like to get mine at Trader Show Trader joels, Yeah,

955
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: I try to drink one a day. It's thirty days,

956
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: so ninety dollars a month because they about three dollars.

957
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: Walmart is another good places to get them too.

958
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do that.

959
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I juice every day.

960
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: Your say you say you juice every day like you're

961
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: the one making it.

962
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 2: I'm Barney. Well.

963
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: First of all, I will say this, I just discovered

964
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's recently, and it in the.

965
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: Last couple of years.

966
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: Mine was like the last three months. But I will

967
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: say this, Trader Joe's makes it so easy if you

968
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to cook. Have you walked through their

969
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: frozen food sex show?

970
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: But this guy was telling me you need to get

971
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: their orange chicken.

972
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: Bro I just made that orange chicken last night.

973
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 2: How was it? It was delicious, So I say, it's

974
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: like prebade and everything.

975
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's literally like even their karaoke chicken, like you

976
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: could buy their stuff. And I get a rice maker,

977
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: which I used to like, always buy rice about.

978
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: The inciant rice. Nowadays I used to do that.

979
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: But if you the cheapness or the frugal part of me,

980
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: or the becoming a mom part of me, I decided

981
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: to go to Target. They sell the mini rice maker

982
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: for twenty bucks. I promise you you get one bag

983
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: of bassetti or jasmine rice. However you like your rice.

984
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: It takes like thirty minutes.

985
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: Because I don't know how to cook. Rice is hard

986
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 2: to cook.

987
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: I promise you this rice cooker will change the game.

988
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: It's twenty bucks. You go on the Target. You get

989
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: your little twenty dollar rice cooker. It comes with the

990
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: little measuring cup. You put a cup of water, two

991
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: cups of water, a cup of rice. You have the

992
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: best tasting rice. And the cool thing is that ain't

993
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: nothing with the devil if you if you leave, you

994
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: can come home and the rice is so warm and

995
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: the cooker mm, so you have fresh rice.

996
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: So why even go out?

997
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: Yeah? And then Trader Joe's, you could get the orange chicken,

998
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: get a bag of broccoli, put it in the stove.

999
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Within ten fifteen minutes, you have a whole meal with

1000
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: a leftover. Now I'm Chinese, yep, I promise you, because

1001
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: I used to spend so much on Chinese food, like

1002
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: once or twice a week. But Trader Joe's has the

1003
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: ultimate hack.

1004
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm a transracial cooker.

1005
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: You're I'm telling you. I promise you if you just

1006
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: take another look at that Trader Joe's frozen aile, you

1007
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: won't have to eat out as much.

1008
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 3: And Trader Joe's damn ploys always got a good attitude.

1009
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: And they be like, you want us to help you

1010
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: to your car? And I'd be like, come on, strong man, shit,

1011
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 3: that's all I need is a Trader Joe man in

1012
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: my life.

1013
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: And the U And they give like your kid a

1014
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: bunch of stickers, And I don't really like that because

1015
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, my house will be covered in stickers that

1016
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: I can't get. OK, But my daughter likes it.

1017
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: She'd be like, where's my stickers? Oh? So she come

1018
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: to expect it.

1019
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: So this is a good dish. But I mean, I

1020
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: probably would never do this again. I like the Ramen

1021
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: without the egg.

1022
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: I'll never do it again either.

1023
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: Who would have ever thought, because when we grew up,

1024
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 3: ramen was like a struggle meal. Now they selling rawmen

1025
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 3: in restaurants and naming the restaurant Ramen, and then they're

1026
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: selling these dishes for twenty twenty five dollars.

1027
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: I will. I'll say this though, I've never gone to

1028
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: Ramen place and actually spend No, I'm lying, I took.

1029
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: I did buy one Ramen dish once, but yeah, I

1030
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: can't my brain in my brain, I can't do it.

1031
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: But anywhere you eat now it's expensive. You could go

1032
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: to McDonald's and it's like seven dollars fry.

1033
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: I like to get a coke and a small fried

1034
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 2: and that'd be seven dollars.

1035
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta tell you this quick little half that

1036
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: I just discovered the other day, and my homie was

1037
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: laughing at me. I don't know that this is every

1038
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: Taco Bell, but Taco Bell released like a frozen slurpy. Ooh,

1044
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: From two to five hour, they got a happy hour

1045
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: and you could get these slurpees for a dollar thirty.

1046
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: I was calling him, like, yo, this is the best

1047
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: day ever to keep dragon bro.

1048
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 3: He was.

1049
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I just finished the surpee and

1050
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: he's like. I was like, but I want another one.

1051
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: He's like, turn around. I say, you know it. I

1052
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: turned around, went back and the guy at the Taco

1053
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,600

00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: You know what. I like.

1056
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: It's better than the seven day beer.

1057
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 2: Are you cherry lemonade from Chick fil A? No, it's seasonal.

1058
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, a real piece of crack heaven?

1059
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: Really, but is it unhappy hour? Do they give a

1060
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: happy yes? I think the happy hour makes it seem

1061
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: like a little bit more like riskale, like oh my god,

1062
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm really coming up.

1063
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh, I will say, shot gotta be flirted with. Yeah, yeah,

1064
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:25,920

1065
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, no I promise you it is

1066
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: the best slurpye And I don't know if they do

1067
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: it with every Taco Bell, but I just recently was

1068
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: at a Taco Bell and they were like happy hour

1069
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: two to five, and I was like what, and I

1070
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: loved it even more. But it is the best slurpee.

1071
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: It is by far trump's all the other slurpees. I

1072
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: love it. But in another hack, I learned.

1073
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: Fruit too, but that wasn't popular when we were dragging

1074

00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: They sent it to me and then they was like, hey,

1100
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: did you get it. I couldn't stomach watch it myself.

1101
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: Have you not watched yourself before?

1102
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: Watched it before?

1103
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: No, just other stuff you've watched, But when you watch

1104
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: your special.

1105
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: I couldn't stomach watching it. It took me three weeks

1106
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 3: to ask you. And I had talk called Keith Robertson.

1107
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, man, it took me three weeks,

1108
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: and he was like, he was like, he said it

1109
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: took me. He said it took him a month on

1110
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 3: his first one.

1111
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: So you mean like you would you would want to

1112
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: click it and you just didn't click it.

1113
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1114
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: I would say every day I would get up and

1115
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: watch it, because you gotta go over and watch it.

1116
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 3: You gotta send them back.

1117
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you paid for the production, right, do it?

1118
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: Yep?

1119
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: And oh my man.

1120
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:28,959
Speaker 2: For three weeks.

1121
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: My team was That's another reason it came out so

1122
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: late after Like, it didn't come out so late, but

1123
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 3: it came out like five man months after I shot it.

1124
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: Because it took me.

1125
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: It was five months later.

1126
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 2: It took me a month.

1127
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: I know if it was my team, I would have

1128
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: gotten phone calls, text messages, emails. They'll find a way

1129
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, what what what did you watch it?

1130
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: You watched it? No, I'm saying. The production side, they

1131
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: weren't like, hey, what's going on?

1132
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1133
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: I mean, but they also have other people that they're

1134
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 3: working with, so they were just waiting for me to

1135
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: They didn't hit me.

1136
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: After three it's like, hey, is everything okay? Did you

1137
00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: get it?

1138
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I'm watch it tomorrow. Then that's what

1139
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: made me really double down.

1140
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: To watch it. Did you Did you watch it with

1141
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: anybody else? It was really good? It was really good.

1142
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: Was really good.

1143
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: I feel like you got to say it.

1144
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: No, I don't have to say it. First of all,

1145
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: I have too much history when it comes to comments.

1146
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: I liked it. I thought it was very relatable as

1147
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: a female dating Scenkle like everything. I was also like

1148
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: cruising the comments. Of course you have to cruise the

1149
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: comments to see what they're saying. Everybody was so excited

1150
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: about you in a cat suit.

1151
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a little cameltoe. I didn't realize I had.

1152
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: I wasn't even looking at that. Well.

1153
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: The man said it, and I was like, oh, that's

1154
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: a baby, I said, But you gotta be hard.

1155
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: Some people appressed nah, I just I have two.

1156
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: Like really negative comments, and I blocked those people from

1157
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: the YouTube, so they're not showing up on the special.

1158
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: Not because I don't I don't want anybody to see

1159
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 3: a negative comment about it. It's because people choose to

1160
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: attack you. And it's like, yo, I hate women like this,

1161
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: What does it have to do with the special?

1162
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: Bro?

1163
00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 2: What did I do to you?

1164
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: It's like some people in the world wide of it.

1165
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 3: See that's what I remember. I had a show in

1166
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 3: New York and this guy was like, I don't think

1167
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: you're funny. I said, I grew up in the era

1168
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 3: where you can't just say that to people. If you

1169
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: don't like something, just wait till you leave say it

1170
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 3: to your friend.

1171
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I think when it comes

1172
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: to comedy, it's what I think, it's not.

1173
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 3: It's not just about comedy in society. People feel like,

1174
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 3: even I just saw something with Raven Simone and her

1175
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 3: wife and she's like, hey guy. Her wife had said

1176
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: she had never seen the That's So Raven show prior

1177
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 3: to being in a relationship with Raven Simon, which nobody

1178
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: that meets me isn't obligated to see all about your

1179
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: show and all of my work, and you know what

1180
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 3: I mean. So it's like people were giving this woman

1181
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 3: death threats. But see, we live in a world now

1182
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: where people can just type whatever they want and it's

1183
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 3: no accountability. Back in the day when I went to school,

1184
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 3: you talk bad about somebody, you're liable to meet them

1185
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 3: on to meet them after school at three o'clock and

1186
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 3: get your ass beat or get in the fire.

1187
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: But I also don't think we were in like our

1188
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: era is probably the Aol Instant Messenger era. It wasn't

1189
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: as no, none of that. Facebook came out.

1190
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 3: Facebook came out when I was in college and I'm

1191
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: thirty seven. Yeah, so Facebook didn't come out till I

1192
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 3: was in college. Because when I first went to college,

1193
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 3: you had to have a die edu. When I first

1194
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: joined Facebook, I had to have a die edu and

1195
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: because I heard about it in two thousand and four

1196
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 3: when I graduated high school. But I couldn't join because

1197
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: I didn't have a die edu. You had to be

1198
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 3: at the university, and that was when they first first Yeah,

1199
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 3: when you went to community college, they don't still don't

1200
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: give you an email do edu at most community colleges.

1201
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 3: So I had to be at the because I didn't

1202
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 3: go straight to college.

1203
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: But I'm saying that I think the social media error

1204
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: gave people a lot of confidences to.

1205
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: Say whatever they want to people with no accountability and

1206
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 3: so with that, So that's the reason why I deleted

1207
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 3: two comments, because it's like, Yo, what does this have

1208
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: to do with anything? You're just attacking me because you

1209
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 3: woke up and decided you hate me. This has nothing

1210
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 3: to do with the special, has nothing to do with anything.

1211
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 3: You're just a miserable person and I think you can

1212
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: run into that on the internet. Yeah, yeah, and you

1213
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 3: attack me every day every day.

1214
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 2: I black people.

1215
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: I always say this too, like every day every comedian

1216
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: has their audience, but I think most people laugh at

1217
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: what they can relate to. So if I don't think

1218
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: a comedian is funny. Like I tell people all the time,

1219
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: I like people that have like childhood trauma, like the Sebastians,

1220
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: the bill Birds, Like if your mom and your parents

1221
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: were terrible, y'all give me that comedian John Wasamo, give

1222
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: me all those motherfuckers, and I'm like, gonna have fun

1223
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: all day. I enjoyed your special because I could relate

1224
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: to it, and that's what makes it funny. So it's

1225
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: very terrible when people can say to a comedy or

1226
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that comedian is funny. It's really subjective

1227
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: to what you can relate to.

1228
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 3: Like I can't say somebody successful is not funny. Yeah,

1229
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 3: you can't say that somebody that's really building up in

1230
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 3: upcoming isn't funny, you know what I mean.

1231
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: It's just like they're just not funny to you.

1232
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 3: But you get people that go in and if this

1233
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 3: person's not funny, they're there, they look like this, and

1234
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 3: they look, what does that have to do with anything?

1235
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: You're just that's called bullying. Cyber go to these.

1236
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 2: Pages and these people are just yeah, No.

1237
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: I've had people comment on our show because I usually

1238
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: wear like a backwards hast I've heard people go into

1239
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: comments like why is this fifty year old wearing backwards?

1240
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm like you, I'll go to their page like I

1241
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: know you ain't talking ship.

1242
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 3: And then I have God tell me recently, that's why

1243
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 3: you old and you and don't nobody want you? And

1244
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: I was like, do you really actually looking at me, sir?

1245
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 3: Do you actually think nobody wants me? My face looked

1246
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 3: the same with or without makeup on. Do you really

1247
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 3: think I'm walking in the world and every man is like,

1248
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: forget her, we don't want her.

1249
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: Like no, But I do think that the people do

1250
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: need to address like the insensitivity, because I will say, sick,

1251
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: a sick part of me, Like, I'll scroll through all

1252
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 1: the comments and the ones that are negative are the

1253
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: ones that get my attention. I do a little chuckle.

1254
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'll be like you want to respond to though,

1255
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: why I don't The positive ones you'd be like, Then

1256
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 3: a negative one you'd be like, you.

1257
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 2: Know what you go to they paid you look at them,

1258
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 2: but it's always.

1259
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: Whoever you, whoever's dissing you. When you look them up,

1260
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: you'd be like, come on, man.

1261
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 3: And I was like, that's why you got buck teeth

1262
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 3: I said, ma'am, do you know what buck teeth are?

1263
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 3: Buck teeth is on your two front teeper.

1264
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: Did you respond to her?

1265
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 2: She had a gap this big?

1266
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Did you respond on? Did you respond?

1267
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't remember, Okay, sometimes I respond to people sometime

1268
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 3: like this one girl recently, she was like, y'all look

1269
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 3: old for millennials. Y'all really baby boomers? You know, baby

1270
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 3: boomers will be like sixty.

1271
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: And stuff like that.

1272
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 3: And I was like, girl, I said she and she

1273
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 3: I went to her page. She had a you know,

1274
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: little light bo in a BBL that didn't match. I said, girl,

1275
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 3: you talking. I said, you went to the Dominican Republic

1276
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 3: and got all that surgery and they could unbig your back.

1277
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.

1278
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: I said, your back is huge. And she was like, oh,

1279
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 2: you just mas.

1280
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 3: She been arguing for the last I stopped responding after

1281
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 3: like two comments she been arguing with because people keep

1282
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 3: finding stuff.

1283
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: She been arguing with people in those comments for the

1284
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 2: last two months.

1285
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: That's funny. I think, yeah, I think there's a space

1286
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: for people that are over opinionated on the Internet, and

1287
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: again it's just to bring people down. I can't understand

1288
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: what it's rooted in I've never really been. I'm one

1289
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: of those type of people though, Yeah, but I'm more

1290
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,479
Speaker 1: like I like reading through comments. I just like reading

1291
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: through comments, skimming to see what the gist of what

1292
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: people's opinions are. But I don't know, I think I

1293
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: think the whole comment thing is just.

1294
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 2: I think blocking hurts them the most.

1295
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: Blocking and people you go to their page.

1296
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: They aren't even following you, or some people was like

1297
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 2: they follow you.

1298
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 3: And what I don't like about it is that some

1299
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: people get mad at you for having an opinion, but

1300
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: they have an opinion about you having an opinion.

1301
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: So why is it okay for you to have an

1302
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 2: opinion but not me to have an opinion?

1303
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1304
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

1305
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, it doesn't. I just think that there's

1306
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: certain people that live for that. I'll go back to

1307
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: my twin. My twin doesn't really attack people online, but

1308
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: I will say, like, she'll literally lose sleepover fights on

1309
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: social media, and I'll be like, she'll call me. She'll

1310
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: start with I know you don't care, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,

1311
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: I listen, but she'll she knows that whatever she's about

1312
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 1: to tell me, I'm really not gonna give a fuck

1313
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: about like or she'll like going on a rat with

1314
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: like Beyonce and some ship and she just yeah, yeah,

1315
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I don't get it.

1316
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 3: You know.

1317
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: But there's a certain type of people that are really invested,

1318
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: like they will lose sleep, they will get upset, they

1319
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: will and I.

1320
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: Promise little Uzzi Bert had a purse. I was like,

1321
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: look at him with that perse on. Do you know

1322
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 3: I got death threats for that? They said they was gonna.

1323
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: Kill me, girl, I don't know. They're crazy, un alive me.

1324
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: Are you able to make money off your socials now?

1325
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 3: So I don't attack people, I just block them. So

1326
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm pretty good at roasting.

1327
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 2: Really good.

1328
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: I could read you for filth on there, okay.

1329
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 3: Like a housewife mixed with your your comedian nightmare of roasting.

1330
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 3: But it's like you can't respond to people back in

1331
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 3: that way because if they started to report me, and

1332
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 3: people started to report me, they can.

1333
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: Demonetize my page. So I just block them.

1334
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 3: I just non no longer argue with them or if

1335
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 3: I say something. It's just it's very common things that

1336
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 3: it's like your back is big, that's not nothing triggering,

1337
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: but if I was like, you ugly fat bitch, that

1338
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 3: those are stuff that they can demonetize your page or actually,

1339
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 3: you know, get you your page taken out, taken off. Yeah,

1340
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 3: I've seen that happen to a comedian recently. He was

1341
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 3: going in on people that was seeing stuff about how

1342
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 3: he looked, and he went back and they took his

1343
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 3: whole page.

1344
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, well, going back to your special, I did

1345
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: your grandma watch it? And no, I don't know.

1346
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 2: I don't. Sometimes don't want my family watching my stuff.

1347
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: Well that's what I want watch it, but you know,

1348
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: I don't just be like.

1349
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 2: Hey, grandma, I watched a special, you know, but.

1350
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: No, they like your mom she knows, yeah, because she's

1351
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: all on.

1352
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 2: My social media. But my family do. But I don't.

1353
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 3: Also, not my grandparents. They would need help setting it up.

1354
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 3: You have to go over there, put it, put YouTube

1355
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 3: on the screen, set it up.

1356
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: They can't. They can't asset stuff like that on their own.

1357
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, it's just that I know, since

1358
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: you talked about I wonder I understand being related to

1359
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: a comedian, like you're not going to always keep up

1360
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: with everything they do. But I was just curious when

1361
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: they do watch your stuff? Do they are they like

1362
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: letting you do you? Or do they try to get

1363
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: in the weeds and say, like, why was she performing

1364
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: like that? Okay, perfect, because I'm not.

1365
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: Doing anything derogatory. I'm just telling the stories that you

1366
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 2: told me.

1367
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 3: That's it.

1368
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're telling well, you're telling your truth. But I'm

1369
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 1: I'm curious if there's anyone in your group that does

1370
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, cool, and you prefer.

1371
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 3: That way, right, because they want to ask me for

1372
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 3: money here and there, so they ain't gonna really rock

1373
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 3: the boat. Yeah, And I'm not going on there saying

1374
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 3: you dumb and you stupid. I'm attacking anybody. I'm just

1375
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 3: basically saying, my grandma got the shakes, and I do

1376
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 3: talk to my grandma. People like you don't talk to

1377
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 3: your I'm like, I do joke with my grandma like that.

1378
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 2: She like it. My grandma like it. I love this

1379
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,880

Speaker 3: Favorite word, and the family has asked her to stop

1381
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: saying it. My mother hates it, and my mother has

1382
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: asked it. So I said, hey, so sometimes I call it.

1383
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 3: I say hey, Grandma. I was like, look at that

Speaker 2: Yo.

00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. I just think watching the special,

1414
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: I definitely could see that you guys have a good relationship.

1415
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: How did how was the receiving of the special and like,

1416
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: did you accomplish everything you wanted to in regards to

1417
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: the special?

1418
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like as far as everything I wanted

1419
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 3: to put out in a special, you know, and then

1420
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: just starting prepare for the next one.

1421
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: That was my next year. Are you starting already to prepare?

1422
00:58:59,600 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1423
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: You gotta write new jokes and then don't you have

1424
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: to practice on the road for a while. Yeah.

1425
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 3: So what I like to do is because everybody in

1426
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 3: the world hasn't seen the special, and everybody that come

1427
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: out the shows haven't seen the special, is just to

1428
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 3: start to weaving new material in between.

1429
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1430
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 3: So you don't go up there just doing because to me,

1431
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 3: when people come to come buy tickets, they bought tickets,

1432
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 3: some hire a babysitter, some actually bought a new outfit,

1433
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 3: buying drinks, They're going to go out to eat maybe

1434
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 3: before and after, or.

1435
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna eat there. They're spending money.

1436
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: So I don't think you should allow someone to spend

1437
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 3: money and you just doing all new stuff that you

1438
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 3: don't know whether or.

1439
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: Not it works.

1440
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.

1441
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: So what if people when people come out to see

1442
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: you on the road now they can expect a mix

1443
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: of the new and.

1444
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's other stuff I have that didn't make

1445
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 2: the special as well.

1446
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, awesome. And now where does the transition for

1447
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: podcasting come in?

1448
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

1449
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 3: I had started podcasting years ago, but I stopped Okay, Yeah,

1450
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 3: so I feel like you gotta let show people know

1451
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 3: your personality.

1452
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Now, how how much? So you've

1453
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: been doing it for how many years? You took a break?

1454
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: Took a break for two years?

1455
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Okay? Is that the two years you did in New York?

1456
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? Ok it was just harder for me to get

1457
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 3: resources and stuff out there, just because I lived in

1458
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 3: New Jersey. I didn't live in New York.

1459
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so you did. You didn't know New Jersey City,

1460
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: You did New Jersey, New Jersey.

1461
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 3: I did a city, you know where Edge Order, New

1462
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 3: Jersey is no so edge Order, so all the New

1463
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: York sees.

1464
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: We see all of New York.

1465
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Soon as you look out my window, you can see

1466
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 3: all the skylines to the buildings in the water in

1467
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 3: New York. So we live right there. I live by

1468
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 3: the water, so we can see New York. So I

1469
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 3: lived over there, and it wasn't It wasn't an area

1470
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: where the transit weren't very well New York, New Jersey.

1471
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 3: New Jersey City has good transit, you know, but not

1472
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 3: out there. So it was hard for a lot of comedians.

1473
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 3: And some of them was like, oh, Uber over there.

1474
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 3: And somebody one day was like, yo, it's one eighty

1475
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 3: one way to get to you.

1476
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, I think who was it?

1477
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: I think Safe the Sounds lives over there.

1478
01:00:58,400 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that.

1479
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I think he did, because I think he said that

1480
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Jour on the interview when he's talking about Brooklyn.

1481
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: Oh, for Brooklyn was like an hour and fifteen to

1482
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 3: thirty minutes away with me.

1483
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was talking about Brooklyn.

1484
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: And then I didn't even go over there, even though

1485
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 2: I loved it as much because it was so far.

1486
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a three hour shits in the car

1487
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 1: well from Jersey. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

1488
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 3: But see the seller and all that stuff was only

1489
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 3: like twenty It would take me about twenty four minutes

1490
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: to get home and it would take me about thirty

1491
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,479
Speaker 3: five minutes to get to the city.

1492
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not bad. That's not a bad trade off.
